Joey did a great job making sure that my son was comfortable while applying his braces. Very friendly employee. He was also very informative.
Always a wonderful experience here. Joey is exceptional he has outstanding bedside manners, always kind and compassionate. He listens to my concerns carefully and leads with patience and professionalism. He genuinely cares about the patients making stressful visits much easier. Thank you!
The best ever I felt so comfortable! Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
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!
