The legend began with the sea captains of New England, who sailed among the Caribbean Islands and returned to the colonies bearing their cargo of fruits and spices. According to the legend, the captain would spear a pineapple on a fence post outside his home to let his friends know of his safe return from sea. The pineapple was an invitation for them to visit, share his food and drink, and listen to tales of his voyage. As the tradition grew, colonial innkeepers added the pineapple to their signs and advertisements, and bedposts carved in the shape of a pineapple were a common sight at inns across New England. The legend has continued to the present, and frequently one sees the pineapple symbol in hotels and restaurants to signal the presence of hospitality.

I have been going to Metz Orthodontics for 5 years. My daughter, first started at age 8 and now is 12 years old. We have never had a bad appointment or interaction, at this establishment. They take their time to answer all your questions and take your safety/health seriously, during these Covid times. You will be happy and feel safe. Great service 5 out of 5!

Top notch service- most friendly staff ever from their front desk to the technicians to the Dr Metz himself. Idk if every ortho is all inclusive like this one but every time I bring my daughter I leave stunned that there's no hidden bills, fees etc to follow. Everything financial is up front and straight forward and fair. They take excellent care of my child- keep us super informed- make both parent and patient feel totally comfortable. AND Pre- COVID they did things like private movie screenings at theaters just for their patients (free also) and more.. I can't say enough good things about them. Specifically, Ada is usually our tech and we adore her. Lots of gems there but she is the sparkliest of all! If you need ortho work- go here. Period.

If you're looking for top notch service, that is genuine and caring...look no further. Dr. Metz & staff are one of a kind & treat everyone like they are their best patient. I should know, I'm a patient & mom to 2...with 2 more in the pipeline. I wouldn't trust their smile to anyone else.

My children have been seeing Dr. Metz for the last 4 years. Both children have ankylosed teeth creating a very complex treatment approach lasting years. Dr. Metz is truly the best Orthodontist and words can't explain the gratitude my family has for his services recently provide at 9pm on a Saturday night. My daughter had a very bad accident and lost her front tooth. We were released by the hospital at 8pm after they placed the tooth back into the tooth socket. They explained the tooth most likely would fall out during the night. On our way out of hospital I said let me see if Dr. Metz has an emergency line to call for advice on securing tooth till we could get in to see him. I left a message and within 10 minutes my phone was ringing with Dr. Metz on the line. He took the time to hear the case and asked if I could meet him at office in 15 minutes to assess the tooth and secure the tooth if possible with braces. I was so appreciative he would drive out so late at night to help my daughter. This truly was over and beyond for a Doctor to accommodate us at 9pm on a Saturday. Dr. Metz was amazing and was able to immediately determine the corrective action plan needed for the teeth which was critical to be done to prevent further damage that was caused from the injury to surrounding teeth. Had he not come and fixed with securing teeth with braces we would have had major issues the next day. Dr. Metz immediately reached out to my daughters dentist that night to advise on the injury and coordinated the care plan for her. I am truly speechless and blessed to have found such a wonderful doctor. As a parent there is nothing worse to see your child hurt and not have control. Dr. Metz alleviated so much stress from this horrible accident. Dr. Metz puts his patients first and truly cares. His expertise in complex cases is outstanding and you will be in great hands!! Thank you Dr. Metz!!
