About Hoagburg Orthodontics
Three generations of the Hoagburg family — including Dr. Rachel Hoagburg — explain each treatment step in detail and skip the pressure toward procedures patients don't need.
This practice has been treating patients across generations, with Dr. Rachel Hoagburg now part of a family team that includes her father and brother. Reviews highlight how thoroughly the doctors and staff explain treatment options, sometimes using short videos to show what each phase will look like, and note a notable absence of sales pressure toward procedures patients don't need. Anxious or sensory-sensitive kids get particular attention, with staff calming nervous patients and adjusting appointments to individual needs. The waiting rooms are stocked with games and snacks, a detail families with several children in treatment mention often.
