About Blackburn Orthodontics
A 7UP club invites kids as young as seven in for early consultations, and Dr. Blackburn's team is known for keeping siblings entertained with an in-office movie theater.
Blackburn Orthodontics sees a steady mix of young children, teens, and families with multiple kids in treatment at once, and reviews point often to early (phase 1) evaluations through the practice's 7UP club for seven-year-olds. Dr. Blackburn is described as calm and thorough, taking time each visit to explain progress to both patients and parents. Assistants such as Tabitha and Nichole are named repeatedly for gentle handling of nervous or younger patients, and the office itself is noted for a movie theater room that keeps waiting siblings occupied.
