Dr Mclaurin went out of his way to squeeze me in for an appointment in the very early morning to extract 2 teeth that were beginning to significantly bother me. That saved me considerable pain. I am forever grateful to him. His staff (Amy & Erica) had much to do with this as well. Sorry, but I forgot the names of at least three other ladies who showed real caring and provided excellent advice as well. What a happy and delightful workplace !! Thanks y'all !!
Love the staff and atmosphere! WiFi while your kids teeth get taken care of is fantastic as well!
Very glad we got our teen’s orthodontic treatment through Orthodontic Specialists! They’re so great at what they do, always friendly, explain the processes well, and are always able to get us in when needed! Our teen had a bracket pop off the evening and when I called the next morning, they were able to get us in that very same day to get it fixed. Would definitely recommend to our friends and family!
We had such a great experience with this office, everything from start to finish was excellent. The staff was so friendly and Dr Noll and Dr Wood were very knowledgeable. If there was ever an issue with the appliances, they always worked us in to be seen. Would highly recommend this practice, thanks for giving my kid a beautiful smile!
Started my braces journey with them 4 years ago and they have been amazing every step of the way! I am always excited to see Dr. Wood every time I come for an adjustment 💕
