As a mother of three with all requiring orthodontic treatment, it was important for us to find the right fit for our family. The staff is beyond amazing and are so accommodating with schedules! Dr. Tighe is very easy to talk with regarding the process and makes the kids feel so comfortable during. And BO is a big part of the comforting atmosphere in the waiting area!!! Love her! And don’t forget to hit up the selfie area!
