The whole team at Pickard Orthodontics is wonderful. It feels like family. From the consultation that was very informative to the financial team that made it easy to pursue treatment. They were even able to put braces on the same day. I would highly recommend Pickard Orthodontics to anyone interested in improving their smile.

I brought my son for a consultation, they were so detailed & explained each thing. Also explaining things that we didn't even know were a necessity. They have in-house financing which is amazing during the economic times for those who need it. So far they have been great to work with. He has his appointment to start his braces on Friday!!!! Update... He got his braces today and said it was an awesome experience. Little to no pain or discomfort and enjoyed the staff!!

The office staff is nice and knowledgable. The facility is clean. They offer payment plans but I was disapppointed they did not offer a discount or try to help me due to my limited income as a student. They are the first office I have been to that said "no" there isn't anything we can do to help our students. Aren't they in a college town? I have delta dental from the university but they don't support orthodontic care. I am going to look elsewhere for an office that CARES about me and works with my limited student income.

The service is outstanding! If we have any concerns they get us in immediately. We have two kiddos in braces as of 5/16/22 and our experience has always been 5 stars. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Pickard Orthodontics is fast, kind, and empathetic. They even helped us on a weekend when they were closed - Dr. came in to fix an issue so our kiddo was comfortable. Wow!! Highly recommend them.
