First reason: This was years ago when I was in highschool. Day of removing my braces my teeth came out straight, but it did not come out aligned. I didn’t realize what was happening back then but the more I think about, the more it bothers me and I’m finally writing a review. When I got my braces removed, they were checking my teeth out, it was a young lady that was looking at it. She called over DR. Damerell and he checked out my teeth for what I thought was the final check. The doctor kept pushing my lower jaw into alignment with my upper jaw with his pinky. You would assume with the amount of pressure he was forcing my jaw that, that was the position he wanted me to put my teeth in. So I did. This would cause my jaw to be misaligned when I aligned my teeth perfectly together. At this time, I didn’t realize that it meant my teeth would not be aligned as all I thought about was that “my braces were finally off!” Time passes and I realize that my bite is not aligned. And I think about how much my mom paid for my braces (~$8500.) it makes it sad that I came out with an imperfect bite but there’s nothing I can do anymore as this was years ago. Another reason: When I got my set of retainers, I was told that if I lost or broke them, I would get a second pair for free. I called and they said because it had been over my two year contract with them that I no longer get them for free. That sucks, but okay, I should have read the fine print. I didn’t end up getting a new retainer. I’ve called here a few times over the past years asking question about retainers because I finally am willing to pay for them but the ladies that answered the calls are always in a bad mood and not nice… I would not recommend this place.

Assistants and front desk staff are very caring and great! Just be in mind very slow when booking appointment be prepared to be longer than expecte. Dr is nice.. but at times can be a little bitter towards patients and staff.
