    I came in to his office for jaw and ear pain. He didn't try to pressure me into getting braces. Before we even talked about braces he wanted to find the cause of my pain. He offered to make me a splint to ease the pain and discomfort i was having. He went into detail about the problem and how we could resolve it. I had consultations with other offices but they just seem to want to throw braces on without even worrying if it would solve the pain in my ear and jaw. They offer a great payment plan and really worked with me. The staff is awesome and very helpful. Definitely happy that I chose to go there.

    I took my daughter for a 2nd opinion after our first consultation with a different orthodontist seemed like a lengthy treatment and very high fee for a fairly straightforward case. Dr. Moles and his staff were very friendly and informative. His treatment plan and fee were far more reasonable and in line with my expectations. My daughter ended up getting her braces on the same day as her consultation because they had a cancellation and could fit us in immediately. All in all, a great experience.

    Dr. Moles was always engaged with our care, updating and commending us on our progress. His positive attitude and genuine concern infused the entire office, so our visits tended to feel like we were going to see part of our family rather receiving medical care. I really appreciate the flexibility of their care too, with the availability of two offices to visit according to my schedule.
