As an orthodontist, I have the best job I can imagine. I get to work with absolutely amazing colleagues and patients, all of whom have such different personalities, passions, and perspectives. I get to make a difference in my patients lives by being a positive force in their lives. Giving my patients a better smile to share is what makes me celebrate daily. Dr. Ludwig

"They were all very friendly and welcoming. I love Deanna and Dr. Ludwig, she is very thorough and takes her time during the consultation. Before coming here, the Perrysburg Orthodontist want's to extract 4 healthy teeth from Liam's mouth and I am very uncomfortable with it so I went to HLS for a second opinion. Fortunately, thank God they won't extract teeth from my son. I am so thankful. Thank you everyone for taking care of us especially Liam. He was almost gonna cry when he found out they are going to extract teeth from him."

We've had consistently great experiences with each office we've visited. Everyone takes time to explain what they are doing while they are doing it so kids feel prepared for the visit. I would recommend if you need an Orthodontist! Tell them I sent you. :)

Very friendly, they make sure to explain and make sure you understand . Appointment times are also a plus as they do have evening appointments . My son just received a shirt today that was awesome . He loves his experience and can't wait to go back and get his treatment started . I'd rather pay to go here then go to another place covered by insurance.

Horrible staff service and they asked me for the second time to illegally park in a handicapped spot so they could find me in their small lot. They have been reported to the Maumee Police and the Lucas County Sherriff both of which are well aware from other callers! Shame on them for breaking the laws that are to protect handicapped people.

I've been through 2 braces fittings over the course of 3 years, and my experiences have been the same. While the staff is friendly, they never acknowledge the parents or introduce themselves. I have to ask their names and ask questions like, "so what are we doing today?" It would be nice to know the treatment plan and what to expect without always asking. The initial appointment is to determine that you need braces, and the next "consultation" appointment is to discuss how you are going to pay. Would have been nice to go over the actual "getting braces" process before getting them. After we got the braces, they rushed through a 2 min conversation and just told us to watch a video. I suggest more patient education BEFORE the process starts. We just felt LOST. Again, staff was friendly and the doctors provided great care, but the overall experience was very disappointing. I would not recommend.

The best orthodontist around, everyone is super friendly. They're not about taking you money to fatten their pockets. The care about their patients and want what's best for them. My son was there 8 years ago. Came back and they totally remembered him. Can't say enough good things about HLS!

After a dentist re-cemented my fixed retainer they created a gap in my teeth. HLS worked to get me in the same day for a consultation! The staff was wonderful and I feel confident after discussing in length about how they will fix the gap!
