Dental side is amazing but the orthodontics side is horrible. The doctor told me and my daughter that she had a choice to do a pallet expander or just go into braces. Originally, my daughter was going to do the expander but changed her mind. (She's 16) The orthodontist then said he wouldn't treat her at all if she wasn't going to do it. I an now taking her where I got my braces, and the doctor there is willing to do braces without the expander. Don't see how they can refuse treatment to my daughter when i'm paying out of pocket and we both said we were aware that her bite would not be perfect when finished. The doctor wanted her smile to be the way he wanted it to be without considering her wants in the process. Very disappointed. And the price I was willing to pay for them to do it was going to be double the price I am now going to pay taking her somewhere else.

The office and all the dental assistants are amazing. I don’t have a lot but of nice things to say about the company as a whole; but the office itself and the assistant staff are truly amazing. Orthodontist has changed on me twice since I started my ortho journey in 2023. That’s a new orthodontist every year. Every time a new doctor comes in, my care plan changes. But I cannot see my care plan without doing a record request for my own records. I’m paying for this myself 100% and the level of care has decreased significantly in the past 17 months.
