Love my orthodontist and staff! Appointments are very thorough, but not time consuming. Less than 5 min wait time before you are called to the back. Best of all, the staff greets you by name from the front desk to the chair, which makes you feel like family and not a number. I would choose them over and over again, because they are PHENOMENAL!
