Mike Child has been treating my family for at least 20 years, my brothers and myself, and he is now onto treating the next generation (our own kids). I wouldn’t trust anyone else!

some of the assistance are good and the pricing is good up front but doesn’t come with retainers. But the front staff is rude. Very rude.

The pricing itself … I ask for the amount to have braces removed and the reply was high and we don’t include retainers. I said most places do and she told me, “your more than welcome to got to those people”. 3 kids treated there. My wife chose, now I’m paying attention. She was condescending and unprofessional. Never again !
