We went in for our consultation. My daughter was very anxious about the prospect of needing orthodontics but the whole experience was excellent. From the welcome board with her name on it and the pleasant welcoming staff to everyone else who worked there...it is a pleasant atmosphere. They explained everything, answered all our questions and made us feel comfortable. We left feeling confident in the treatment plan and my daughter is actually excited to get started.

Amazing with my daughter who has ASD. Very caring staff. Very nice place. I was extremely impressed with the environment. They have activities to do while the kids (of all ages) wait to be seen. (Which is not long at all) Forms can be filled out online which makes it very convenient. The kiosk is idiot proof so anyone can do it. The staff dont seem overworked and stressed out. It is such a calm environment. I would recommend bringing your child or yourself here. Very good place for people who suffer from anxiety. 100% reccomend this place!!

From the initial consultation all the way through to braces removal, everyone at McSurdy was incredibly welcoming, professional, and enthusiastic about their jobs. At each appointment, the next phase of treatment was explained, my daughter's comfort was made a top priority, and all questions were addressed. The rewards program was a huge incentive as well, as were celebrations of personal (birthdays, report cards, etc.) and treatment milestones. We have loved our time with this practice!
