If you need an orthodontist you can trust, he's your guy. My son went there for about two years for his braces. Dr. Whitley talked to Carson about football and other topics. Carson was never nervous about going for the ongoing adjustments. If you're weighing braces vs. plastic aligners Dr. Whitley, he won't try and convince you but he is will give information and even studies if you want it. Dr. Whitley and his staff and flexible and easy to deal with. When when you have go back and a new retainer because the dog ate it. Really.
