Dr. Utermark and her team have been amazing throughout my daughter's orthodontic journey. Because of her crossbite, treatment was a longer process and required correcting that issue before braces, but they guided us every step of the way with professionalism, patience, and care. The results are incredible, and we couldn't be happier with her smile. We are so grateful for the support and expertise Dr. Utermark and her team provided throughout the entire process. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for outstanding orthodontic care!
I give 10 stars but they only let 5. Dr.Uttermarks office staff and herself are great, helpful and absolutely phenomenal fixing my son and daughters teeth! I like them so much that I will be going back to get my teeth done.
This place has come across my mind a couple of times in the past year or so. After looking at the reviews, I’ve seen others share their experiences about some of the practices that were absolutely traumatizing to me. I vividly remember the staff in this office using restraints on children who they felt moved around too much in the dentist chair - myself included. Considering I was already uneasy or anxious about dental visits, this made it so much worse. I absolutely hated coming to this place, and still have so much discomfort of the memories from 20+ years ago. I’m not sure of what takes place in this office presently; however, I think it’s fair to advise you to please proceed with caution. Especially when dealing with children who don’t or can’t properly advocate for themselves.
Dr. Utermark did an amazing job on my 14-year-old daughter’s teeth! From start to finish, the experience was professional, caring, and stress-free. She made her feel comfortable and confident, and her smile looks absolutely beautiful. We are beyond pleased with the results and grateful for the excellent care she received. Highly recommend Dr. Utermark and her team!
We have had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Utermark and her team over the years! My daughter has been seeing Dr. Utermark since she was a toddler, and we have always felt so well cared for. The entire staff is warm, patient, and welcoming, which made every visit a positive experience from the very beginning. Now that my daughter has officially had her braces removed, we’re so grateful for the amazing care and attention Dr. Utermark has provided throughout every stage of her dental and orthodontic journey. Her smile looks beautiful, and the results are fantastic! I highly recommend Dr. Utermark to any parent looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and trustworthy dentist/orthodontist for their child.
