We have 3 family members currently under SouthShore's care and have been very happy. My dental hygienist recommended them to me because of the attention to detail she's noticed in her patients that have used them - and I agree. Both Dr. Matt and Dr. Mary have been thorough and meticulous. They're also less expensive than the quotes I received from FishHawk area orthodontists. Also... WOW, Dr. Mary has made my son's experience better than I could have imagined. He has dental anxiety and is very sensitive and challenging when it comes to sensory input in his mouth. She's been amazing at calming him

My son got his braces done here today. This is the best dental place I’ve been too so far. They are so family oriented, and care about their patients. This is a very friendly place and will go above and behind their duties to help you in anyway they can. I would recommend this place to everyone, they definitely get 5 stars from me. I love Lisa and the rest of the staff they will do anything for you💜💜💜

Very friendly, attentive and patient. If I have questions, they have detailed answers available. Scheduling and rescheduling is very easy. Pricing is competitive and hard to beat.
The results are also better than I expected given the initial state of my smile/teeth; very satisfied.
I would highly recommend if you are looking for an orthodontist.

Dr. Mary and the staff at Southshore Ortho took the time to listen and come up with a plan that works for me. I’m an adult patient with a good amount of work to be done. They were patient and gentle. They even make me laugh which makes me feel more comfortable. I’m just getting started with treatment, but I’m very impressed so far! Thank you!!

I highly recommend SouthShore Orthodontics. The office is always clean. The staff do what they can to make the patient comfortable. Both Dr. Matt and Dr. Mary helped me through my journey with InBrace. I just got them off last week and I'm very happy with the result.

I cannot say enough great things about this office! My daughter needed some pretty extensive work and they were so kind and courteous throughout her entire treatment. Her teeth look amazing now! Because of my experience with Southshore as a parent, I myself am now an ortho patient there. I had a last minute appointment for a cleaning and they were able to fit me in to remove my wires the very next morning. The staff are so welcoming and it really feels like they genuinely care about you!

6 of our kids have had their braces done with Dr Matt... He has done such an amazing job and now I have 6 beautiful smiles to look at. The office staff is wonderful... We LOVE LILLY .. she is the sweetest and always so helpful in accommodating appointments with our busy schedules... Ive referred several friends and they have also been super impressed with the entire staff and care. We will definitely bring our other children when they are old enough to be cared for by Dr Matt!! I wouldn't recommend another Orthodontist..Dr Matt and Staff are the best!!
