I was a patient of Aguirre's 20+ years ago and I get to go back to him now that I moved back. He and his wife are super kind and will make you feel right at home!!!

Highly recommend Dr. Aguirre's office. I wasn't a regular patient, but when I called explaining that my retainer had broken they scheduled a consultation with me the next day, and had a new retainer ready two days after the consultation. I was also impressed by how fast both of my appointments were. They were ready for me when I arrived, so I didn't even have to wait in the reception area. They immediately brought me back and got to work. Dr. Aguirre, Lucy at the front desk, and all of the other staff that I interacted with were very friendly. And maybe the best part was that the cost of the retainer was actually less than I was expecting. If I ever have an issue with my retainer again I will definitely come back.

My permanent retainer had broken off one side after six years and they were able to give me a quick appointment where they fixed my permanent retainer and did impressions for a removable one all in one visit, I highly recommend them!

I was not a patient with them, but Michael and his wife Lucy were incredible being able to squeeze me in the next day when I called saying my retainer broke off on one side. No other dentists would even fit me in within the next week. They understood my urgency as I was leaving town and really needed my retainer fixed. Very nice and professional, and I will definitely be going back for any future dental needs! Recommend 10/10

My permanent retainer had come loose that was put on by a different practice 12 years ago. I googled around and found this practice and contacted them the following day. The person that I spoke to on the phone was polite, clear and concise. We scheduled an appointment in a timely manner and I was informed of potential costs which I was more than happy with. The day of my appointment came, I showed up early and they were ready for me. I was escorted back, settled in and almost immediately we were fixing my problem. The length of the time that my mouth was open wasn't long enough for someone to have read a few pages of a book. We were done quickly and a very happy customer walked out the door. Nice people! Great Service! Great Price! 5 stars!

My bottom retainer broke loose on one side, and they were able to get me in same day! Very kind and efficient- small business feel. They really care about their patients. They sent me home with extra flossers and some tips to keep the retainer intact. Would recommend!

Dr. Aguirre and his staff are truly wonderful people who provide excellent dental care. They truly are concerned about what is best for their patients, and they do not hesitate to go "above and beyond" to make sure that their patients always receive the best care at a very fair cost, with great results.

Moved from Miami, have lost my trust in dental insurance and dentist, Dr Aguirre is the most ethical and caring doctor I have ever met in my whole life. I would give him a 10, he goes beyond his Call of duty and profession.

Dr. Aguirre and his wife are both supportive and genuinely kind people. Dr. Aguirre helped me to understand my options and pick the best course of treatment for the results that I needed to have 3 lower implants. I recommend this Orthodontist for everyone! Thank you to Dr. Aguirre and his wife, Lucy.

My son is currently seeing Dr. Aguirre and Mrs. Lucy. They are absolutely awesome to work with. They go above and beyond to accommodate your needs as well as your work schedule when scheduling an appointment. They are easy to talk to and will answer any questions you have. My son got his braces on in December and on his checkup in January it was unreal how much straighter his teeth were in just a months time. Cant say enough good things about them.

My teeth had shifted since getting braces ~10 years ago. It was so easy to get established as a patient and I got seen the same week that I had called! Dr. Aguirre patiently went over different options to help me decide on a treatment plan that would be most effective in both teeth alignment and cost. Their prices are more than fair and they go above and beyond to make sure they follow up on the progress of your teeth. Dr. Aguirre and his wife Lucy run a practice that makes you feel comfortable, valued and genuinely cared for. I am so happy that I came here and highly recommend them!

I was referred to Dr Aguirre to repair my permanent retainer. I was able to get an appointment in a timely fashion. Lucy is so friendly and informative. Dr Aguirre gave me a couple of options and we worked together to develop a plan. I couldn't be happier and would recommend them to anyone in need of their services.

When my Hawley retainer from a previous orthodontist broke suddenly, I knew that I needed an orthodontist to fit me into their schedule quickly to get molds of my teeth and make a new retainer before the teeth shifted. I called another place and they wanted my to wait a month and charge $300. Luckily I called Dr. Aguirre's office because he fit me into his schedule immediately. Lucy (front desk assistant) was a pleasure to work with and helped with insurance info. Dr. Aguirre was methodical and explained to me my options for a replacement retainer and made a recommendation to get a new one in a clear resin form. The replacement clear retainer was an even cheaper option than if I had gotten a new pink Hawley retainer! My wallet definitely appreciated Dr. Aguirre making his recommendation. Overall exceptional experience; would recommend to a friend and would return in the future if the circumstances called for it.

Very kind and skilled practice. Efficient, clean , beautiful environment. Looking forward to feeling better soon. One added bonus was the art work on the walls all done by a local artist magnificent! Dr Aguirre is patient, explained my options and I would recommend him to all family and friends.

Dr. Agurrie, Was the first orthodontist I visited when I moved from Atlanta. He had some big shoes to fill after leaving my orthodontist in Atlanta. He did just that! He has great bed side manners and shows concerns for his patients. His wife is a jewel as well. Very nice team together. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that's looking for an orthodontist. Wendy
