I cannot say enough about how lovey Dr. Drew and his staff is! From Jamie at the front desk to Catalina in the back they make my kids feel special and taken care of! They have helped me navigate three kids in braces and some with two sets! I have had insurance change and appointments have to move and they have helped me with every step of the process! My kids have felt so good along the way and their teeth look magnificent! I have been overwhelmed with the expense and the appointments and they have helped me with each and every piece and I now have two middle schoolers with straight teeth who feel so much more confident and my youngest who is excited to be following in their footsteps!

Dr. Drew Herion and his team were INCREDIBLE! It was hard to find a before photo because I didn't smile a lot. I had a 6mm overbite and a few crooked teeth. I didn't wear my retainer after middle school braces and so they moved back. (2021 & 2019, we started invisilign in 2020 though) I was determined to fix my overbite and crooked teeth and so was Dr. Drew! We got it down to about 2mm (ideal!) And I've never been so happy to smile!! Thank you all so much! Also- Jamie is the best receptionist ever ever ever like ever. She'll become your friend real quick. I always looked forward to catching up with her! I'll miss seeing you frequently!

We've taken 2 of our children to Dr. Drew Herion for braces. Both have had different situations - 1 we were able to do teen Invisalign and the other needed traditional style braces and needed the expander prior to adhering braces. Both children received excellent and COMPETENT care and guidance. Dr. Drew always took the time to indulge the parent who "wants to know all the details and progress;" and though Dr. Drew has a thriving business, he always took the time to discuss, explain, etc. I felt he truly cares about his business as a whole and that includes in big part his patients and their families. Furthermore, the staff interaction between one another, patients and parents are easy, light and fun. There are many other little things that occur that make you feel valued and that your successful "teeth" outcome is also their success and their #1 goal. The front desk (and I believe she does a ton of other functions) - Jamie, is lovely. Always a warm and bright hello upon arrival and goodbye upon exiting and responds to call backs if you need to leave a message. Overall we enjoyed our time with the team at Meridian Park Orthodontics. The child who received teen Invisalign ended with a great smile and transitioned to retainers with no issues. The continued follow up once retainers begin is also amazing. My other child won't finish out his braces experience with Dr Drew only because we moved out of state, but the team has been very open and communicative to make sure that progress and success is achieved with our new orthodontist. That's pretty amazing and what a commitment. They aren't just - "see ya" but really are invested in the patients progress until the goal is achieved. Had we stayed in the area, we would've 100% stayed with Dr. Drew and for sure would have sent our last child to see him if/when it was their time to get braces.

Right now I've got my 3rd kiddo in braces with Dr. Drew. We love how accommodating and fun and helpful he and his staff are. Not to mention friendly. They put my 8 year old at ease right away. I'm so glad our dentist recommended Dr Herion, and glad we chose his office.

Each and every time I go to see Dr Herion, it's an enjoyable experience! He and his staff have always been so helpful; whether it's honoring a quote or helping me with my retainers, they're all a pleasure to deal with. From what I've witnessed over my years going here, I truly feel they strive for an excellent customer experience for each person that comes through the door. Whether it be an adult like myself or even a child and their parent. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for ortho in the Tualatin or surrounding areas! Thank you Dr Herion, Jaime, and the rest of the staff!

Hands down an easy 10/10!!!! My son has been in Dr. Drew's care since day one and it has been such a positive experience for both him and me. Not once did my son ever complain about having to go to his ortho appointment. Dr. Drew and is entire staff are friendly, organized, communicative, and knowledgeable. They encourage kids in their orthodontic care by giving them tokens which can be redeemed for prizes. They always have a monthly contest going on with prizes. There is always plenty of parking, ipads, magazines and television in the waiting room, and even a complimentary Kuerig coffee machine for the patiently waiting parents! I would unequivocally highly recommend Dr. Drew as a top notch orthodontist!

Meridian Park Orthodontics is a great place if you are thinking about getting braces. The staff is supper friendly and if you happen to live in the Tualatin area I can almost guarantee you will run into somebody you know. My daughter has a fear of anyone near her mouth, but the staff here has made her feel so comfortable that she now thinks she owns the place. Dr. Drew is very upfront and honest. He has done a fantastic job with my girl. I can't wait for my daughter to get her braces off but she will be sad not seeing the great staff. I highly recommend Meridian Park Orthodontics if you are looking for a great Orthodontics.

Dr. Drew and staff are incrediblely friendly, patient and helpful! My son has sensory issues in the mouth and other obsticles so I wasn't sure if putting on braces was going to even happen. They were incredibly patient, explained how the impressions were going to be made, let him feel it and took it VERY slow to not scare him. Each visit has been a positive experience and he loves coming to visit the ladies and has fun picking out the brightest band colors possible!!
