Dr. Hunter is the nicest, most professional orthodontist. His staff is top notch—genuinely kind and caring and very good at what they do. My experience as an adult having traditional braces has been super smooth. I can’t recommend Hunter enough.

So far we have enjoyed our time at Hunter Family. The appointments don’t take too long. The lady who worked with my son yesterday (a blonde) was especially good with my son in getting his braces on ann communicating well. And Dr. Hunter is also great. Thanks everyone for a great appointment with getting his braces on!

We are very happy with our experience at Hunter Family Ortho! I have both of my young children working with Dr. Hunter on expansion / airway and their results have been outstanding. I’m truly amazed! Additionally, he is also working with me on expansion and clear aligners to achieve the goals I have for my own dental health. We are very happy with him, his staff, and our overall experience. 10/10 recommend!
