My family had an incredible experience with Orthodontic Associates. The actual work on my children's teeth was excellent. The doctors and their assistants are highly skilled and great communicators. The office manager is next level. She is so helpful with insurance, scheduling, financing questions...everything and anything. She even answered questions I hadn't thought of. I highly recommend them!

We couldn’t be happier with the care our kids have received here! From the very beginning everyone has been welcoming, professional, and incredibly kind (shout out to Rita!). Dr. Hardy is truly the best and so kind and patient with the kids - always taking the time to explain everything, answer our questions and make our kids feel comfortable. We’ve been so impressed with the results of their treatment and the attention to detail. Finding an orthodontist you trust with your kids is so important, and we are grateful we found this practice!

Great care here! Dr. Hardy is efficient, professional and provides great care. Heather is so calming and pleasant. I had high dental anxiety going in and now half way through my treatment I am relaxed about this process. If you are suffering from TMJ Disorder this is the place to go. They listen and adapted to my needs. I really appreciate these orthodontists and staff!
