We have had nothing but the best experience with Orthodontic Specialists of Madison. While our home office is Mount Horeb, Dr. Ajvazi has been so accommodating to our 10 year old son. His expander came loose at dinner, called the office after hours and the message had all the doctors cell phone numbers, called and spoke with Dr. Ajvazi and she met us at the Madison location after hours to get the expander removed and talk about next steps. Well beyond what we expected. Nothing but the best when it comes to Orthodontic Specialists!
We had an excellent experience with Dr. Knutson. He communicated his treatment plan for our son and included our son on the information so he felt empowered to take care of his teeth during the process. Sheena was amazing in caring for our son as well, always being kind and gentle during adjustments. We would recommend them!!
I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service provided by the team. The clinic's staff consistently demonstrated a unique blend of professionalism, warmth, and helpfulness, making every interaction truly remarkable. Thank you again for the outstanding care.
I am very happy with my experience here! Dr. Knutson and Anya are both super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. They truly want the best for a patient's orthodontic care, whatever that might mean for their particular case.
I just got my braces off after completing my treatment with Dr. Knutson, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! As an adult going through my second round of orthodontic treatment (after first having braces as a child), I was a little nervous about the process, but the experience exceeded my expectations. Over the past year, Dr. Knutson and his team provided exceptional care and made everything simple and stress-free. My treatment was truly all-inclusive. I was never nickeled and dimed for every little thing. I was able to ask questions and get a lot of consultation to ensure my treatment was working the best for me. I highly recommend Dr. Knutson and his team to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.
