About Standifer Orthodontics

Dr. Ray and Dr. McLagan personally call patients the day after braces go on, and many families bring multiple children through treatment here over the years.

Reviews describe an orthodontist who takes time getting to know each patient and follows up by phone after braces are placed, a level of personal attention families mention again and again. Several reviewers note bringing more than one child through treatment at the practice, sometimes years apart, with braces the most commonly mentioned treatment. Parents also point to thorough explanations of the treatment plan and staff who walk children through each step and instrument to ease anxiety, alongside praise for treatment results once braces come off.

We have been so pleased with care we have received by Dr Ray and his team! We have 3 kiddos in braces and the treatment has been very individualized. One of our kiddos had some anxiety regarding the process and the team was so patient to explain every step of the process and every instrument used.

I cannot imagine taking my children anywhere else for their ortho treatments from day one I felt like we were one of their own absolute outstanding service! Being a parent of multiple children that need treatment we really got lucky that we found this office and were blessed with such amazing people! Dr. McLagan called the very next day after the placement of the braces to offer support and advice it was just really nice to have a doctor take time from his extremely busy schedule to see how my child was doing! Margarita, Sami, Brittney, Mollie, they all treat you like family I look forward to every appointment to see their beautiful smiling faces waiting to take us in for our appointment, they always have the sweetest attitudes and we are truly blessed. I can see why my neighbor referred us to them it’s a no brainer!!
