Highly recommend Gorman & Bunch for all your orthodontic needs. The staff are super-friendly, but professional. The office is very clean and modern. My son was nervous when we arrived, but the staff quickly calmed him. They even gave us freshly made (and still warm from the oven) chocolate chip cookies as we were leaving the office!

This is the 2nd orthodontist we have worked with and this office is by far the best. No comparison to our previous orthodontist. They make sure to tell you what is going on with your child's mouth and what course of action they will be taking. They are so kind and caring. It leaves you feeling like you're family here.
