I had an absolutely fantastic experience there. I went there when I had wire issues in my mouth, and they scheduled me for a visit within three days since it was an emergency. The doctor there took an x-ray of my mouth, stated that everything looked fine and they didn't need to do anything. When I went to check out, I was told I didn't owe anything at all. It's rare to find someone to give you an honest assessment, do an x-ray, and still not charge anything. If I ever do have a bigger issue, I'm coming back here.

After consultations with a few area orthodontists, my teen daughter chose Dr. Azar for her braces and I'm glad she did. The office staff is friendly and make scheduling a breeze. Appointments are available early in the morning and my daughter was able to get her monthly adjustments done without missing any school. Dr. Azar and staff are professional and do an excellent job of explaining the treatment plan and daily care needed for braces. Her braces are off now and her teeth look amazing. She actually smiles in photos now!

I called to just get a rough estimate of how much it would be to get braces with doctor Azar.I'm currently with another doctor of which I don't quite like because this isn't my first time having braces and I'm paying out of pocket because I want a pretty smile but I lost my retainer in high school and my mom never took me back to get another one... so yeah... talking about my old orthodontist... got my braces and they put the expander rubber band in between my back molars .Upon my 1st check up after waiting my time for more space to be created in between my teeth. They told me one of the spacers had fallen out... but mind you I called to tell them I needed someone to take a look about 3 days in .They said oh stop being a baby. You'll be fine. When I got to the second check up with the deeply lodged rubber band spacer .They said one had came out(which it didn't ,it was deep down in my gums causing me excruciating pain. Hence why they thought it had popped out.) They put another expander rubber band in causing even more pain until it was time for them to remove them. Fast forward about 1 year. Pain not as bad but still there sometimes.One day as I was eating I felt something hard and my gums were bleeding.. I was only eating mashed potatoes.I stopped eating my meal because low behold a rubber band expander from 1 year ago that finally came up after them telling me stop acting like a big baby. I completely didn't trust them at all anymore because I know when something isn't right and I pay very close attention to my mouth and what goes in and out of it.However after going through that much pain and paying out of pocket to a doctor who's receptionist told me to stop being a big baby and his assistant lodging a rubber band down into my gums and the doctor himself not seeing it after I complained for months before the pain just subsided because I got used to the feeling of something stuck in between my gums. I'm terrified of the old ortho doctor...and I was wanting to get my braces removed by my old ortho doctor and wait to let my teeth settle back to how they were and even pay off my debt with my old ortho doctor so I wouldn't have a bad rep.... No on to the issue with Dr. Azars office. Yesterday i called doctor Azars office to get an estimate. His receptionist was so rude like she was the one doing the treatment and not him.... I let that go because I wanted my answer and was going to pay with my current insurance and pay the difference in cash... if needed. She called me back today and said that they don't want to accept me as a patient because of ethical reasons. How is it an ethical issue refusing to even set up a consultation with a terrified patient who is willing to pay her old doctor off in search to find a better orthodontist. She even tried to get smart with me so I decided to add this rating today. I've just given up on trying to have pretty teeth. I'm so discouraged and upset.

Dr. Nick & Joe do an amazing job. AND the fees don't break the bank!! By far the best price we came across. They have done a great job on 2 of my kids. I look forward to them treating my other 2 when the time comes. Great place and very knowledgeable staff.

I was referred here from my dentist dr. Kevin howenstein, for my second round of braces I had braces before a younger age, I have seen both nick and Joe and both of them and the staff are so helpful, professional, and most of all friendly! the offices are very clean too... I also like that it is a family ran office....I highly recommend going here for yourself or your children

This is my daughter's first time getting braces and this experience has been amazing so far. I think I'm more nervous than she is and Ursula made the both of us feel so comfortable. The process was explained very clearly down to the payments and how insurance was billed! I'm so glad I chose this Orthodontist because we were orginally going with someone different due to pricing but the customer service was worth the extra $200 I'm thrilled & pray I have the same experience from today in 2 years but I got a feeling I will!!
