Our orthodontist journey started as just needing braces. Turns out my daughter needed a whole surgery as well. To say we were anxious and stressed out was an understatement. Dr Greg has been heavenly throughout the process. It's been an ongoing process and even when we have a 10001 questions, he makes the time to patiently walk us through. Most of the staff have been very gentle and thoughtful. We've had some hard days but all in all,we come back and are committed to seeking this process through because of Dr Greg's attention to detail, kindness and care. When the process is not moving along as fast or just hiccups like spacers coming undone and having to return a few more times to get them to stay. Or spanders not being turned well or nearly enough, his patience, care and humour, always makes us leave feeling at ease. So thank you Dr Greg and the staff who have been nice to us. We've had some rough days but ultimately my family and I are grateful that Dr Greg is caring for our little (not so little anymore) girl.
CMOA staff is so friendly and does an amazing job explaining the process of having braces and goals of treatment. Dr Lisa is very detailed and pays close attention to the patient concerns and questions. I would recommend CMOA 10 out of 10 times!!! Thank you to all that take care of me and my daughter with our orthodontic care!
I feel like orthodontists are much like mechanics - you have to trust their knowledge and expertise and believe they are guiding you in the right direction for all the right reasons (vs. just for the "sale"). The staff here at CMOA has done just that for us - they have been very up front with the "whys" and followed those up with the "hows" of righting the wrongs with our child's teeth & mouth. They are so incredibly thorough with their evaluations, their consultations, and their methods for correcting issues that we have full faith that we are heading in the proper direction. From start to finish, all of the staff here has been so wonderful and accommodating. With so many options in our area, I'm SO glad we found CMOA and we are grateful for their gentle guidance and personable approach to solving our child's orthodontic issues!
Everyone here is super friendly and they do a a great job including kids in the education!
