Exceptionally friendly staff, who exemplify patience and extensive orthodontic knowledge from the moment you walk in. We left Cole Orthodontics feeling informed, prepared, and excited for future treatment, thanks to Doctor Nate and his team.

Professional and friendly staff. Dr. Cole and his staff took the time to explain things thoroughly and was very helpful. This was my first experience with an orthodontics office and it was a positive experience. I would recommend Cole Orthodontic Associates.

I got my braces off last week & retainers today & my teeth look great. After almost 2 and a half years all of the hard work paid off thanks to Dr. Cole. I especially appreciated Gretchen & Lindsey they were my favorites. I would recommend this orthodontist.

I've heard from many people who had braces. They usually have something bad to say but I don't. Cole orthodontists is amazing. They are kind and know what they are doing. They ask if your ok many times during your appointment. They make it fun and happy. I would recommend them to anyone who asks where to go.

My daughter has been a patient for several years now. She is nearing the finish line with her braces and we could not be more pleased with how things are looking and feeling. Dr. Cole and ALL his staff are top notch! They are careful, thorough, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We always feel well taken care of before, during and after visits. Thank you!

Very Satisfied with the results, Dr. Nate was very attentive to my daughters complex case. He was the only orthodontics out of several consults that was willing and creative with trying to resolve a high impacted horizontal canine with other malocclusions. Dr. Nate and his staff are up to date with the latest techniques and training providing great communication to his patients. This was my daughters second phase of treatment and highly recommend Dr. Nate for first class results with a beautiful smile.
