We've had a good experience with this office. The several staff that we've met are super friendly and professional. I am pleased with the quality of care for our son. He's having extensive orthodonture and the level of service is excellent. I especially appreciate the education portion of the visits. We are well informed and our time is respected. The office is clean and well organized. The people that answer the phones are helpful and efficient. We highly recommend Cole Orthodontics Associates.

My initial visit to Cole Orthodontics was early this morning. I was greeted with smiles and courteous service from the office staff, and all staff ! Every procedure was clearly explained . Having work done on my teeth is a new experience as I've been blessed with beautiful, healthy teeth. As I age I want to keep a great smile, so here I am at Coles...... Fingers crossed!!!!!

Dr. Cole, Dr. Liz and staff go above and beyond. They are caring, accommodating, friendly.. I can't say enough positive things about them. Both of my daughters went through treatment with them years ago and have great results. I am in treatment now and I would highly recommend this practice to anyone considering orthodontics.
