The experience we have had at Freels Ortho has been amazing. The difference on my daughter's teeth have been tremendously impressive. He not only made a difference on her smile but her confidence grew. She never complained about having braces on she loved them but now is time for her to show off her beautiful smile. Thank you Dr. Freels and all the staff we truly appreciate you all.
5/5 Stars !! . Actual Face to Face Care Makes All the Difference If you are looking for an orthodontist who actually takes the time to sit down with you personally, this is the place. Before deciding on treatment for my son, I consulted with a few different offices. Dr. Freels was the only orthodontist who actually met with me face to face for the initial consultation to discuss my son's treatment plan directly. That personal touch and transparency made the decision an easy one. Beyond Dr. Freels , the entire staff is absolutely phenomenal. They are incredibly knowledgeable, answer every question with confidence, and clearly know their stuff inside and out. On top of the fantastic care, the office itself is super clean and well maintained, which gives you immediate peace of mind the second you walk through the door. I couldn't be happier with our experience so far. If you want a knowledgeable team, a spotless facility, and a doctor who actually talks to you directly instead of passing you off to an assistant, I highly recommend Dr. Freels ! Definitely looking forward to see my son’s progress.
Freels Orthodontics has been a fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff is kind, professional, and consistently on time, which honestly stands out in the RGV. Every visit has felt organized and intentional, and the appointment reminders are a small but greatly appreciated touch that keeps everything running smoothly. Follow-up care is excellent and you never feel like you're left wondering what comes next. What really sets this practice apart is that Dr. Freels personally sees each patient on every single visit. That level of attention is rare and speaks volumes about how this office is run. It's first class service in every sense, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Freels Orthodontics to anyone in the McAllen area looking for orthodontic care they can trust.
Great service. Unbeatable customer service. Everybody is extremely nice and helpful. This office runs like a Swiss Watch. Kudos to Dr. Freels and his team!!
I am sad we will no longer be patients of Dr. Freels, since my youngest will be getting her braces off in a couple weeks. We will miss visiting this beautiful office, and getting warmly greeted by the most professional staff. I am so happy with our choice to entrust Dr. Freels and his staff with my daughters’ new smiles! 🙏🏻
