It doesn't matter if you have insurance or not, the cost is always $6k or above. This is a churn and burn type of business. Davilla is running another shop in Carmel under a different name. He does alright, you just need to understand it's a system and you're a number. They don't care about you once you're done. Additionally, their hygiene standards suck. I watched them touch inside my mouth then go touch all kinds of stuff in the storage room, then touch all the things at another station, then put their hands right back in my mouth. Truly disturbing - I'm just sad I noticed on my 2nd to last visit.

All 3 of my kids go to Geist Orthodontics & we all absolutely adore it here! Dr. Davila and all of the staff are always so pleasant, friendly & knowledgable. The environment is so calming & meets the highest standards of advanced technology and cleanliness. I recommend this office to everyone I am able to! To top it all off, they have amazing financing & payment plans. BONUS: real life salt-water creatures AND Palm trees!? What other orthodontic provider offers that!?
