Fast, Friendly, Affordable. Great with kids and even took the time to teach my 2 kids a different magic trick each! And Kelly, the nurse/assistant, is also amazing and very personable. She answered all of my questions, and there were a lot of them, and didnt try to rush me out to get to the next patient! Would def recommend to anyone needing braces for their kiddos!

At 28, I was extremely nervous to be thinking about braces. That quickly faded after meeting the dr and Kelly. They were super informative and calming. the receptionist is great as well. After the consultation, I decided to go through with my braces ! Looking forward to working with them for the next few years !

This was my first consultation from an orthodontist. They are so friendly, and he knows what he is doing. He explains it all for the patient to understand, and he is reasonably priced as well as provides payment plans. I've never trusted someone so much, and also reassured me of my decision to do braces over Invisalign for better long term results. The retainers also resemble Invisalign as well as his office continuing to monitor treatment even after braces are off with no hidden fees. This office, and treatment plan is amazing!

My daughter is 8 and we discovered yesterday that she will have to get braces. She wasn't very happy to hear the news and let down a few tears. Dr. Avila brought out some cards and did a few card tricks that instantly cheered her up. My daughter hasn't had the best experiences with doctor or dental offices being too kind, so this was a breath of fresh air! We are so happy we were referred here.
