Had a friend who went here to get braces put on. They broke and came apart 4 separate times, resulting in excruciating pain. This is unacceptable.

One star is too much for this office. Initially the service was good during the contract signing phase; however, as time went on, the orthodontist couldn't seem to ever remember me or my case. The case manager, Shelly, is unprofessional and rude. There was a security breach that occurred which resulted in access to my personal files by an unauthorized third party as well as my bank account being compromised. This office notified me via letter a month or so after it happened. When I brought it up to them in person, they simply dismissed me. I do not trust or recommend this office. Please be wary when making the decision to do business with them.

Absolutely recommend Dr. Long and Dr. McCrea. We just completed my 13 year olds orthodontic treatment. From the receptionist, to the technicians, to the orthodontists, this practice is A+! Beautiful location on the creek (Elkhart), extremely clean, refreshments available in the waiting room, comfortable seating, and they always have a movie playing if you have impatient little ones I highly recommend! 10/10!
