About Sperry, Tivis, & Wentz Family Orthodontics - Lubbock 82nd
Dr. Sperry and Dr. Wentz get credit for sticking with tricky cases, from stubborn tooth movement to a longstanding jaw issue, until results hold up.
Multiple generations and siblings from the same families return here, and reviews point to Dr. Sperry and Dr. Wentz walking families through x-rays and treatment plans before starting. Several notes describe the office adjusting course when a case doesn't move as expected, including one Invisalign treatment extended past its original timeline and a years-long correction of jaw pain. Kids are kept engaged with games, ice cream, and a staff that reviewers describe as attentive to nervous or younger patients, while cost breakdowns and payment flexibility come up often.

When I called, Neshia from the call center was AMAZING. We conversed like the best of friends. She was so personable and gave me a great feeling before we even walked through the doors. Give that woman a raise, because she was the absolute coolest and so friendly.

For as long as I can remember, I hated my smile and felt insecure about it. That completely changed when I came to Sperry, Tivis, & Wentz Family Orthodontics. From day one, the doctors and staff made me feel welcome, comfortable, and truly cared for. They didn't just fix my teeth; they genuinely helped me learn to love my smile for the first time in my life. If you are looking for an orthodontist that delivers life-changing results and treats you like family, look no further!
