About Orthodontic Specialists of Madison
Jaw surgery cases coordinated with an outside surgeon and several children from the same family treated together are common threads in reviews of Dr. Kevin Knutson and Dr. William F. Bird.
Several families here have had multiple children in treatment at the same time, and reviews often mention staff remembering names and small personal details across visits. More complex cases, including reconstructive jaw surgery paired with braces, get detailed coordination with outside surgeons and calm, informative preparation for anxious patients. Offices are described as clean and modern, with technology that helps move treatment along.

We’ve trusted Dr. Knutson with all of our kids’ ortho care, and I’m so glad we did. He’s incredibly thorough and really takes his time to make sure everything is done right. You can tell he truly cares, and that kind of attention is hard to find. The office overall is very friendly and runs smoothly. Leah has also been great to work with and always helpful when we’re there. I’m very thankful for the care we’ve received and couldn’t be happier with how everything has turned out. Highly recommend!
We love this place! Both kids have had great work done with them. Offices are immaculate, staff are friendly and fun and Drs. Bird and Knutson have been superb in guiding us through the process. The different offices are all great and they’ve always been accommodating to emergencies and issues as needed (broken brackets, retainers, etc.) Highly recommend them for all your orthodontic needs.
Dr. Knutson and his staff were professional, friendly and efficient. I had braces, top and bottom to straighten and space. Its hard to put into words, but being in my late 30s, it was well worth it! Wish I had a done it a long time ago, may have missed out on some mouth and teeth modeling jobs. My hats off to the staff at Orthodontic Specialist of Madison, they have a great system utilizing technology that really streamlines the process with precision!
We had two top notch experiences with Dr. Knutson and all of the staff at OSM! He treated both of my daughters and we always enjoyed our visits. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked well with both girls. He has their dental health at the forefront and doesn’t rush the process but instead does the right thing. We would absolutely recommend Dr. K to anyone seeking orthodontic treatment!!
