This place has booked my daughter twice for an appointment and both times they call me the week of to cancel and reschedule. The dr seems to never be in the office for these appointments. She was supposed to be seen in June and they canceled and now she’s supposed to be seen on thursday which is July and they called to cancel and now she’s booked for August. Ridiculous

We had such a wonderful experience thanks to Joey! From the moment we met him, he was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. He took the time to explain every step of the process to my daughter in a way she could easily understand, which helped ease her nerves and made her feel so comfortable. Joey kept us laughing throughout the appointment, and seeing my daughter smile instead of feeling anxious meant so much to me as a parent. His positive attitude, compassion, and genuine care truly made all the difference. It’s clear that he loves what he does and goes above and beyond to make every patient feel at ease. Thank you, Joey, for turning what could have been a stressful visit into such a fun and reassuring experience. You are an incredible orthodontic assistant, and our family is so grateful for your kindness. We highly recommend this office because of amazing team members like you!
