All three have straight, great-looking smiles created by their dad.

My wife asked me to take my son here to get his mouth looked at for braces. At the time of the appointment I checked my son in for the appointment while I was on a international phone conference with General Electric (I provide control systems engineering support for power plants around the world). After 10 minutes the doctor pulled me into the back to discuss something about my son but I could not leave my phone conference. The doctor told me he was offended that I walked in with my phone, he insulted me saying it was a generational issue, and he told me that I would need to reschedule. I shifted gears and said I understand, I apologize, I put my phone in my pocket and said lets talk. His emotions were so overwhelmed that he still refused to finish the visit. Keep in mind there was only one other patient and his office was not busy at all this Wednesday morning at 8:30AM. I will not be returning to this doctor for service. My opinion: It seems to me this doctor is a baby boomer with generational resentment/prejudice in his heart. A orthodontist is a service. Every effort should be made to retain patients. Not to sling insults and refuse service to prove a point.
