This was my first visit and I felt very welcomed and comforted in the services provided. We were explained thoroughly what to expect in details. My daughter needed braces and the whole process was explained including how to care for them and maintain them once she receives her braces. Thank you for the great experience we would definitely return for a follow-up.

Nobody likes going to the dentist or orthodontist - but everyone here is courteous, friendly and professional, and that makes all the difference.

This is the nicest, friendliest dental office I have ever been to. The COVID precautions were very thorough, the exam was also thorough and the recommendations and treatment plan were explained well without taking too long, and the team is just incredibly friendly. Highly highly recommended.

You had me at hello on the phone… I was so nervous because of previous offices near by. The assistant sat us now (dam it she is my spirit animal and once again I forgot her name) Then Doc swooped in and explained everything step by step. No pressure on giving money or anything else. I am a person not use to nice people. They sure surprised me. They were so friendly and even seem to like each other’s I am shookith. Thank you all for an amazing first visit and Inwill sure be back many times.

Extremely welcoming, friendly and very kind. I didn’t feel rushed at all and they made sure all my questions were answered. Looking forward to working with this practice for “round 2” of straightening my teeth.

I went to Barry Walvoord as a kid and he completely fixed my teeth. I had buck teeth and other issues. My teeth ended up looking great, I'm 28 now and I still get compliments from time to time. I went back about a month ago for the first time in over ten years, and nothing had changed. Highly recommend.
