I'm in the beginning of the braces adventure with my daughter. I had consultations with two orthodontists and this one was not only cheaper but the actual doctor spent at least 30 minutes with us explaining everything. At our first appointment, the assistant was very friendly and established a relationship with us for the long term, even giving us her personal cell phone number if we have any problems. Also, when researching this practice, I noticed they are very active in the community and in charitable organizations. Highly recommend!
