I'm pretty disappointed in my experience here. I thought the doctor was pleasant and the front staff was pleasant. The reason for my 4 star review is one big reason. I paid $55 for a 10 min consultation. That's frustrating because I felt that she didn't do anything but give an opinion. Which. fine that's a consultation. but only 10min? $55? That VERY steep.
And I came out of it with no new information. I also found that when I told her that a removable retainer isn't for me (as I wanted permanent), she had concluded that I would adjust to it and wear it. That frustrated me because I don't appreciate when doctors assume they know more about me than I know about myself. It would've been helpful if instead of dismissing me to one solution that she would've provided others.
Even if you believe your one solution is the best, at the end of the day, anther orthodontist may feel differently. Therefore options should always be given. It also would've been more helpful, if that truly is the only solution, to provide examples as to how beneficial this could be for me. I didn't feel as though that was done. She's obviously a seasoned orthodontist and feel she could probably do a great job in treating. However, I would've liked more time and more explanations of things.

My family has seen Dr. Durfee for 20 years. She has taken care of the orthodontia of my two children and I am finishing Invisalign and we have all had amazing results. Dr. Durfee is a true professional and sets reasonable goals for treatment. She even made a house call once! The staff is helpful and the office is pristine with all the necessary precautions against COVID-19

Dr. Durfee's staff welcomes you immediately as you come in the door. There is a fish tank to relax with, and there are free muffins and free coffee! Dr. Durfee cared for my triplets' teeth, and has done a wonderful job. Her staff is very accommodating where appointments are concerned, and Dr. D spends as much time as you need discussing whatever questions you have regarding the care you are receiving. Luv her!

I have been going to Dr. Durfee ever since I was 13 years old, along with my entire family. I started with braces and every single visit was pleasant and very comfortable. When I had my braces removed, I was EXTREMELY pleased with Dr. Durfee's work and I have been getting many compliments ever since. I would really recommend anyone to come in for a visit and see for yourself! The atmosphere is very comfortable, the staff is very friendly and above all the work is amazing!
