Great experience! 10/10 recommend. Very efficient and they are experts at what they do.
from 2004 all the way til today the staff has been amazing, fun, professional and welcoming. on my 4th set of braces there was no one on earth i’d work with but this staff at Smile Doctors. they are the best 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽💙💙💙💙
Super pleased with the whole experience at Smile Doctors. My sons' smiles are beautiful and the aligner method was so much nicer than brackets and wires. Everyone there was always positive and kind.
They were very helpful from the start explaining every question that I asked to where I could understand it also very very friendly no sooner you walk into the office you are greeted with a smile and are helped very quickly I got Invisalign and then decided that I didn't want the Invisalign when I called the next day they set me up with an appointment to go ahead and get braces with no extra cost would definitely recommend this place the experience has been amazing with all the staff and overall I never thought it could be so simple
I’ve had braces for almost fourteen months now, and the consistency here has impressed me. The office runs efficiently even when the waiting room looks packed. One visit took longer because they had to redo a wire placement that wasn’t sitting correctly, but I actually appreciated that they caught it immediately instead of ignoring it. The orthodontist seems focused on getting things right rather than just finishing appointments quickly and moving people out.
