Always a great experience. I love how Dr B and Dr J communicate with their staff. It's almost like they are teaching them. Talking to them. Not at them.

I became a patient about three years ago. As an adult, it was somewhat embarrassing. The entire staff has been professional, friendly, helpful and --most of all-- respectful. They understand that adults want to also look good. I wish I'd contacted them a few years earlier. Update 7-20-22: One amazing thing about these folks--they *know* their patients. I walk in, I see others walk in, and we're all greeted by name. The doctors know your name, the technicians know your name. It's very much like an extended family. Yesterday, barring damage to my retainer, was my last appointment. I just want to thank Dr Johnston and Dr Buck for everything. I'm very happy with my results.

Everyone has always treated my daughter with the best care possible. She has anxiety with doctors stemming from way back. They are so sweet and patient with her to the extent that she looks forward to her appointments and is totally fine without me now. Thank you for making her so comfortable.
