About Orthodontic Specialists of Madison - Verona
Calm handling of anxious kids and quick fixes for retainer emergencies mark this office, with braces treatment often finishing on the originally quoted timeline.
Reviews highlight the orthodontist's steady manner with nervous children and a habit of finishing braces treatment within the timeline first quoted. Retainer emergencies come up more than usual, with the doctor stepping in quickly to resolve a broken retainer. Staff members are generally friendly and keep cost conversations private from kids, though a few reviews mention feeling left without much explanation, including one patient who needed a second round of braces after a relapse without being warned of that possibility beforehand.

Just got the last of the braces off, and I'm very happy with the results achieved and how they've treated me. I'd definitely recommend Dr. Bird and the folks at the Verona clinic!

I had a fantastic experience with Orthodontic Specialists of Madison, especially with Dr. Kevin Knutson. He provided excellent care throughout my braces treatment, sticking to the estimated timeline he initially gave me. I'm thrilled with the results! I also want to commend the orthodontic and dental assistants. They were always helpful and understanding, even when I came in with broken brackets (which happened more than I'd like to admit!). The front desk staff were also incredibly friendly and efficient, always accommodating when scheduling appointments. Overall, the entire team made my orthodontic journey a positive one, and I highly recommend them!
