Honestly wish I could give negative stars for this establishment. So thankful I was able to take my children to Dr. Bandeen. Bandeen was able to reverse all the damage Dr. Chmura did. Please do your research!

I was planning on writing the review that Chmura Orthodontist deserves a bit later but I'll say honestly that I am writing earlier than planned because of an event held by Chmura Orthodontist, but I assure anyone reading my review to be with full honesty as what I planned on writing. Since day one, not even when I stepped into the building, I have received 110% support, wonderful communication and helpful feedbacks. I was always informed of my concerns, did I say they always reply at the most needing time? My experience has been great and I am sure it will continue to be. The staff and everyone are amazing, kind, and the way I saw how everyone treated each other- it was a peaceful and beautiful thing to see as everyone treated each other close. Service treatment (still going on but it has been ) trustwrothy

I just absolutely love this place!! I can't speak highly enough of the staff and their kindness and care for their patients. They offered a reasonable payment option for me, which was essential being without insurance and low income. They explain what their plan of care is in detail and answer every question! I've heard so many orthodontic nightmare stories and I am so glad I never have to have one! I thought it would take years for me to have a smile I love and I'm only 6 months in and already so much more confident! What a difference already!!! Thank you Chmura!!

Both my daughters are receiving orthodontic treatment from Dr. Chmura and his team...we are so glad we found him. He and his staff are the nicest people. I would recommend all my family and friends to him. Both daughters had different issues. One with an overbite. The other with TMJ, with surgery being recommended by another ortho. We got a 2nd opinion with Dr.. Chmura and with his treatment plan, she didn't have to have to have any corrective surgery..They let you set up payment plans too.. The only wish, I have was that he would have been around when I had braces! Love love love this place

I went here when I was 9 to get braces and I'm back again at 19. The staff and Dr. Chmura are, and have always been, super professional and personable. My mom and sister also went here for braces and this has always been our go-to Orthodontist. I highly recommend Chmura Orthodontics for anyone looking to straighten their teeth!

I had braces for about 2 years back in I believe 2014. I was beyond excited to start the journey to better teeth, and Dr. Chmura made it that much more exciting. He was kind and caring. He treated me like I was more than just a patient. He always explained things to me in depth during my appointments and I never felt like I was left in the dust. He was always so gentle with my teeth which was a bonus in my book because I always knew my teeth were gonna hurt after getting my braces tightened, and I didn't need extra pain. The staff was always so friendly and kind. They welcomed me with open arms. I would 100 percent recommend them to other people who are just getting braces.

I came to Doc in severe pain in my TMJ. The problem started from having an impacted wisdom tooth that I did not have removed until I was in my forties. My jaw was confused where to bite. I had popping and clicking. I delt with it for years! Fast forward to Covid and wearing a facemask. I was shifting my jaw in ways that it shouldn't have been going to find comfort while wearing my face mask. This is when the severe pain started and the disabling headaches. I came to Dr. Chmura in tears looking for help. He was sympathetic and understanding. He told me that he could help me get my jaw to relax and was very honest by telling me he could make me better but was uncertain that he could get me to ground zero. My results have been amazing. I am very please with how I feel and where I am at. I am not completely done with my treatment, but I am completely satisfied with his ability to get me out of pain. He is doing what he is called to do, help people!!!! His staff is wonderful too! Thank you Doc and Team Chmura!

Love this office. This is far most the best experience I've ever had at a dental practice. The team went above and beyond. Very professional and they even call and check on you after every procedure is done. This office has great technology and such a positive atmosphere. I would recommend them to everyone I know. Thanks for the amazing experience

I came here as an adult to get my braces. They are all so kind and it's definitely a judgement-free zone! I can't express how important that is to me. Thanks Chmura! I love my smile's progress and will love the end result!

Chmura Orthodontics was a great experience for my son Elijah. They were very professional, courteous and exciting to work with. They were always on top of scheduling and sending reminders for appts. Chmura Orthodontics was able to work with my financial situation, much appreciated. Thanks for all you have done, Rich.
