I have found the people here very kind and helpful. They are understanding of financial situations, and willing to work generously to help anyway. May the Lord bless them for that. We still have a long journey to go before the issues with my mouth are figured out, but I can see them putting forth their full effort to help me.

The dentist and technician were great. They made us feel at home and explained everything very thoroughly. After sitting down with my son, who was a bit nervous about today's visit, I was quickly rushed out to pay our bill, leaving him in the chair alone. I just wish we could have paid at the end of the visit like every other dentist office.

Love Alpha orthodontics and highly recommend! Everyone is very kind and you can tell they genuinely care about their patients. We've been going there for 3 years and Dr Leonard has been recommending tooth extractions so my sons teeth will come in straighter naturally. The best part, they haven't charged us ANYTHING for the consultations! Since his teeth are coming in straighter he'll have less time with braces, and we'll save us a ton money!

We had gone through this process with 2 kids having different issues and we have been well pleased both times. Highly recommend Dr. Leonard and his staff.
