This is a MASKLESS orthodontic office and one of the assistants had the audacity to QUESTION my child about still wearing a mask? Well, I'm sorry, COVID-19 is NOT OVER (watch the news)! Your office doesn't seem to be concerned with non mask wearers who can EASILY spread COVID in your facility, so why are you concerned with those who choose to still wear masks? I guess at this establishment, honesty may not always be the best policy, good luck keeping your facility COVID FREE! By the way, for the receptionist that is not wearing a mask, don't give out COVID-19 protocol rules when you're MASKLESS!
