Absolutely amazing Doctor and team I have had braces and have multiple children that are in or will be in treatment and I have absolutely never had such an amazing experience and care from an orthodontist it’s truly a blessing to be treated by Dr Ray and his amazing staff!

Everyone at River Mountain Orthodontics is so friendly! When I am there for my son’s appointments the staff readily engages me and talks with me like we have been friends for a long time. They are also very professional! Sam has always helped me understand what to expect and is always available to answer my questions. Brittany is fun and is always organized with scheduling and reminding me I need a school excuse for my son. Dr Ray is informative and keeps me updated through every step. If you are looking for a well rounded orthodontist office who is both professional and friendly, you need to give River Mountain Orthodontics a chance!
