All 3 of my children had braces, retainers, and everything between! Dr. Contes has been wonderful, professional, and affordable! The staff also do a great job! He runs a tight ship and the kids are in and out for their appointments. I would highly recommend Dr. Contes for any orthodontist needs!

My sons teeth look amazing had other places tell me to wait so they could make more money off me and possibly he would need surgery. Dr.Contes was very honest and fixed the problem.

I have nothing but the highest of recommendations and respect for Dr. Contes. First of all, he will do everything that he can to provide the least invasive treatment plan with maximum results. Other orthodontists evaluated our youngest son and wanted to remove or shave teeth. Although Dr. Contes recognized the fact that space would be an issue, he had plans in place to ensure that no shaving or extractions would be necessary. Another positive note is the highly individualized care he provides to each of his patients. He gets to know each one very well, knows how they will respond and will make adjustments as necessary along the way. For example, our oldest son has a significant tongue thrust (mostly in his sleep), so Dr. Contes knew that after his braces came off, there would have to be a different approach to keeping his teeth aligned properly. In addition, his prices are reasonable and transparent so you know exactly what you're paying for up front. One of the largest reasons, however, that I hold Dr. Contes in such high regard is because of the respect he has for each of his young patients. He talks TO them not about them. He will include the parents in the conversation, but will always look my kids in the eye as he explains next steps and expectations for the days and weeks between appointments. He involves them in the process, provides accountability and expects them to embrace responsibility for their care. All three of my kids felt immediately at ease with Dr. Contes and that speaks volumes to the kindness and individualized attention he shows to each patient. We have no regrets about choosing Dr. Contes for orthodontic care and no reservations about referring others to his practice.
