Very friendly staff. Dr Hicks was professional, straight forward about what he could accomplish with my teeth. Affordable braces and a positive staff are a win win. Thank you. Looking forward to brighter smiles.

Absolutely delighted with the whole experience. I'm in my 70's and had crowding of lower teeth that was negatively impacting my upper teeth. One tooth removed and now 3 teeth comfortably coexist where the was once 4 teeth. Should have done this years ago. Kudos to Dr. Hicks and his team.

This was our second visit to Epic. We have just moved to the area so needed to continue the care of our daughter. They are wonderful. We are seen right away. They do not do anything that isn't necessary.

Dr. Hicks has treated both of our girls. We were in the process of relocating to Florida while our last girl was in treatment and the staff accommodated our needs for appointments.

My daughter is a patient of Dr. Hicks. Currently she has a rapid palate expander and is soon to get her braces on. Dr. Hicks is very friendly, patient, and informative. Great experiences so far.

They have been good so far but my most recent appointment was disappointing. I got my braces off and got impressions for my retainer yesterday and we came back in today to pick up the retainer. The lady pushed it into my mouth and gave me an EXTREMELY brief run down of what I needed to do with no reminders or a piece of paper to accompany it. She talked really fast for about 10 seconds, asked me if I had any questions, and sent me off with nothing except my case and the retainers in my mouth. No guidance. Nothing.

I am 51 and decided I wanted to change my smile...for years I have been embarrassed of how I look. I was even embarrassed the first time I went to see Dr. Hicks. But he and his staff were so encouraging and reassured me that it was ok and I had made the right decision. I absolutely love them! I would highly recommend them to anyone who is wanting to better their smile.
