Great River Orthodontics has been an easy business for us to work with. They always run on schedule and have friendly employees. It has always been easy to reschedule appointments when conflicts come up. They have also assisted us after business hours when we had extra orthodontic needs arise.

Such a great and caring team at Great River Orthodontics! Dr. Gonyea and Molly were extremely professional and friendly when conducting my daughter's orthodontic consultation. They answered all of my daughter's questions in a kid-friendly way and made the process exciting rather than scary.

Every appointment is filled with nothing but heartfelt conversations and laughter. I just recently had a great appointment with Nancy, she’s the sweetest and so funny to get along with them. My overall experience is great with all the workers with them being such understanding and caring people! Definitely a place to start with !!!
