About WOW Orthodontics
Dr. Wendy Oakes is repeatedly credited with delaying or declining braces when treatment isn't yet necessary, even turning away revenue.
Reviews at WOW Orthodontics often highlight Dr. Wendy Oakes' conservative approach, choosing to wait on treatment rather than start unnecessary braces, and sending personal handwritten notes after visits. Families with multiple children describe the office as a fun, welcoming place for kids, complete with treats after appointments. Several patients mention driving long distances, including one family traveling from Ohio, to continue care with the practice. A number of reviews also note quick scheduling for urgent repairs and same-day fixes.

I don't know that I have the correct words to describe how AMAZING this clinic is. I will be honest; I have always had severe anxiety when it comes to anyone handling my teeth. I am 40 and I decided this IS the year I was going to concur my fear. Dr Wendy made me feel like I was family from the moment I walked in the door. She explains everything in detail and also allows you to discuss your concerns, and she is BRILLANT at what she does. She has a true calling upon her life. I am so thankful that I was referred to her and that we are now on this journey to give me a "Hollywood smile" I encourage anyone to go to WOW clinic and see for yourself how everyone in there is concerned and takes care of all of your needs. It's a GREAT place to if you have anxiety about this type of thing like I do. Because you will leave with a calm heart and will be so thankful you decided to go

If my treatment is half as good as my consultation, I’m in for an amazing experience! From the moment I entered the office, Dr. Oaks and her team were welcoming, fun, funny, informative, and professional. The consultation set the tone for what I know will be a smooth, comfortable, and exciting ride to a long overdue new smile. The treatments have exceeded expectations!! Dr.O and her team are second to none. The environment is professional, informative, and fun!! Could not ask for a better experience!!!

What an incredibly great experience we’ve had. Dr. Oakes is wonderful. She is thorough, honest and a joy to see every 4 weeks. The way she loves on her patients was unexpected and next level.

Dr. Wendy and her team are the best! I went to them several years ago, and they took such amazing care of me every step of the way. They really do treat their patients like family. Everyone in the office is so kind, patient, and genuinely caring. I always felt comfortable and confident in their hands. I still recommend them to anyone looking for an orthodontist!
