I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Ripley and the entire team! From the moment you walk in, everyone is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely goes the extra mile to make every visit a positive experience. Dr. Ripley is one of the things I appreciate most about this practice. He’s honest, straightforward, and takes the time to explain everything without trying to overcomplicate things. You always know you’re getting advice that’s in your child’s best interest. My daughter has had an amazing experience here, and it’s clear the staff truly cares about their patients. If you’re looking for an orthodontist who combines exceptional care with an incredible team, I highly recommend this office!

To say that Dr. Ripley and his staff are wonderful would be an understatement. As parents we seek the best for our children when choosing a doctor, dentist, eye doctor, etc..., and the same should be true for finding the best orthodontist. I couldn't be more pleased with our decision to put our trust in Dr. Ripley. His gentle disposition and humor coupled with his professionalism and dedication to providing the highest quality of orthodontia have made our experience very positive. Not only do we appreciate Dr. Ripley, but his staff as well. His "right hand ladies" who assist are just as friendly and caring. I've come to know many of them as they have provided care not only for my two teens but my husband as well. Dr. Ripley and his assistants take time to meet with me at the end of each appointment to share what was done and to explain how treatment is progressing. Lastly, the ladies at the reception desk are the heart and soul of his practice. They are among the nicest, caring and most professional office staff I've ever had the pleasure of speaking with. Most importantly, they always, always have a smile to share and make one feel very welcomed! We've been with Dr. Ripley for a number of years, and I can say without hesitation that we are treated and regarded like family, not as patients. It is with pleasure that I very highly recommend Dr. Ripley for your orthodontics.

Dr. Ripley and his ENTIRE staff are amazing! From the first time we met during the consultation all the way through this entire process, everything has been made very easy for me and both of my girls! Dr. Ripley has made sure that all measures were taken to ensure that the very best results were achieved for both of my teenage daughters. Both of my girls actually enjoyed having braces and never complained at all about any appointment. There were several times that my daughters had appointments when I was unable to be there with them. I was confident that they were in good hands with everyone in the office. The girls enjoyed every visit! I would highly recommend Dr. Ripley and his entire staff to every parent whose child may need any type of orthodontic work!

Dr. Ripley and his whole staff are amazing. They all work together to keep my young patient calm and happy. The waiting room is very inviting and the whole place is quite organized and clean. My 11 yr old daughter has been going through treatment on a very hard case for over 3 yrs and just about every employee has had contact with her and her sidekick, Pixie, her stuffed unicorn that accompanies her at every visit. The one time she forgot Pixie, everyone asked about where she was and made sure my daughter was doing okay without her trusty friend. This office feels like home. We are basically done with the 1st stage of her treatment but she continues to be seen to maintain her corrections until phase 2 begins when she loses the rest of her baby teeth. I have recommended Dr. Ripley to all my friends that have children that need orthodontic treatment.
