Fantastic! Dr. Chikes' intelligence and experience are priceless. He makes sure your teeth are not only straight, but that your bite is correct. He explains every adjustment; sometimes that's 30 seconds and sometimes it's 10 minutes. He listens to your concerns. He will not take braces off too early just to decrease your visits/increase his profit. He has a great demeanor with kids and parents alike. We are a frugal family, shopped around and were willing to drive to save money, but there was no doubt he was the right orthodontist for our family.
