My younger brother just got his braces removed after two years here, and the final result looks fantastic. His teeth were badly crowded before treatment, so we knew it would take time. The orthodontist never rushed things and explained progress honestly at every stage. Some appointments took longer than expected during busy months, but the quality of care stayed consistent. Watching his confidence improve over time probably mattered more than the cosmetic results themselves.
Our teen was treated here for almost 3 years. We found the results from the treatment plan produced lackluster results. We will probably follow up elsewhere to get the results we thought we would get. Its not a bad treatment, it just seems its not progressed enough from what we discussed in the beginning. More importantly very bit of communication is a struggle. Scheduling appts, especially more than a few weeks ahead of time, was such a hassle. We could not get accurate info about our billing. At one point the office was only open one day a week. We arranged pickup times for supplies and find the office had packed up and left early. We were often told to call back later when we asked questions after our appointment, and were very often given incorrect answers about our billing info. We just never felt like our business was valued at all.
Vanessa, Cheri, and Dr. Jacob’s were all amazing. I went in to get my 8 year old retainer patched up with some glue as one tiny spot broke loose. They did it at no charge and truly made my day, thank you
Love, Love Dr. Jacobs. Her assistant Courtney did such an excellent job removing my bands and wires, and she reapplied my bands and wires so perfect and swift. It was a very pleasant visit!
I had the best experience ever with Dr.Jacobs. She exceeded my expectations with the care of my braces. Cassie did an excellent job removing my braces. She has a wonderful personality. If you are thinking getting braces get them! Don’t walk run and change your smile.
