This place sucks. I’m still traumatized from Dr Clark’s🙄 treatment. She acts like I was the problem but I wasn’t she was. I don’t know if she has bad vision or shaky hands but it must be something. My new orthodontist is great unlike her. She’s also Rude and charged to much for her horrible treatment. So um 0/10 wouldn’t recommend 🙄
