My oldest got his braces here about 10 years ago. My daughter had hers for about a year and were just removed. Both have straight teeth - no hassles. Both had no interest payment options. Very friendly staff towards me but more importantly, my kids. Treatment plan was as estimated for time, treatment and cost.

My experience at Dr. Shipley's office was flawless. Orthodontic emergencies are uncommon, but I had one, and they squeezed me in urgently as a new patient. The staff were delightful and professional and made the process seamless. My case was complicated and unscheduled, but Dr. Shipley gave me the time and attention I needed. He reviewed my imaging with me in detail, consulted with my periodontist during the visit, gave me valuable information and qualified recommendations, then performed a procedure that brought me instant relief. As a physician, I know that such high quality service doesn't happen accidentally. I left Dr. Shipley's office impressed, informed, relieved, and grateful.

My son with autism not only had a problem with his teeth but he also had a tongue thrust for years. Thanks to Dr. Shipley diagnosing the issue with my son's tongue thrust, we were able to resolve the issue with the ENT Dr. & now he no longer has the tongue thrust. And he has beautiful straight teeth. Not only are Dr. Shipley and his staff helpful but friendly and patient. I highly recommend Dr. Shipley.

Dr. Shipley and his team were caring and professional with my Invisalign treatment, from my first consultation with Dr. Shipley explaining my treatment plan until my under bite and TMJ issues we're corrected. I couldn't be happier with my results and my Smile. Thank you Dr. Shipley and your team. It was a truly wonderful experience. Joe

I used to think Dr. Shipley and his staff were professional, friendly, and helpful. However, when my 14 yr. old told me about his experience today I'm disappointed. Dr. Shipley was openly talking about Columbus and Indigenous Day. Dr. Shipley along made ignorant comments about a hurtful traumatic event that took place many years ago. As a professional everyone has the right to their opinion but not in the work place. Especially not in front of my 14 yr. old who is of First Nations People. Be mindful of others and keep your opinions out of your work environment. Thank you!

My three kids were treated at Shilpey and none of them have straight teeth. I see my friends kids having straight teeth because every other orthodontist puts a permanent retainer on children. I understand adults can use a removable retainer but kids will not use them correctly. I even asked the staff multiple times if my kid could get a permanent and it went on deaf ears.

I am now paying out of pocket at Risas Dental cus all my ins was used at Shipley but cant affor for my other kid. I even called Shipley to see if they could do some kind of scholarship funding because Butterfly Ortho does that but the staff never heard of such a scandal.lol too much money for no results

My dtr has had multiple broken brackets, even 20 minutes after leaving the office. We have to make multiple trips back. The only time her brackets never broke was when they had a temporary worker do her care and brackets. I've had other kids in braces, from a different orthodontist, with complex mouth issues and never had this problem. The staff however is friendly and so is Dr Shipley.

This is the best orthodontics office I have ever been to, Dr. Shipley's office is experienced serving military members and create beautiful results without messy impressions or stress. Thank you for caring for our three children, they love you and we look forward to coming there again! Don't forget to read the lost/broken retainer essays while you wait.

The staff here is some of the nicest people I've met and genuinely care about my experience and always ask about what's new with me. The braces have been very good so far with great results!

Dr. Shipley is amazing and so is his entire office staff. My teeth were HORRIBLE crooked and now they are so beautifully straight. I love that he is a top provider with Invisalign and really knows what he is doing. He was recommended by my dentist who I highly respect. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Shipley. I never thought I would be happy to go to the dentist! Each visit was pleasant and I was treated with respect. All of my questions were always answered. You cannot go wrong with this orthodontist! He is also a very kind man.

I have been going to Dr Shipley for almost a year. I am very impressed with the service and his young but very knowledgeable and professional staff. His office is pretty nice too. This guy knows his stuff when it comes to straightening teeth.

WOW. Beyond impressed with this place and the service they provided. I am currently getting Invisalign in another State and had an attachment fall off. This office was happy to get me in and fix the issue quickly and with a smile. Would recommend this place to all friends and family. (On another note, I called Affiliated Orthodontics prior and they refused to see me unless I transferred my entire case to them. Claimed this was the only way Invisalign worked. What a scam!)

I love this place and Dr. Shipley! I've been a patient here for three years. I had really bad issues with a cross bite and gaps in my two front teeth. Before I came here, I visited 4 other orthodontist to request Invisalign. All of then said no but Dr Shipley said that with some work, Invisalign will work with me. Like I said, I was a unique case so it took me some time for my teeth to finally cooperate but now my teeth look better than veneers!

The staff has always been friendly to me. The facility is very clean. I've never had a hiccup with scheduling. I personally referred one person there and anyone who ever asks me for braces; I'll lead them this way.

Would you consider your orthodontist family? We do. And his staff too. We have two kiddos in braces and love Thomas Shipley! He was referred by a friend and we haven't been disappointed. 1. Just the thought of paying for braces made us quiver. Not to fear. Shipley has payment options to meet your financial situation. 2. Who likes free stuff? We do.

And so do the kids. They get tokens for good behavior (related to taking care of their braces, retainers, etc.) and the tokens can be exchanged for some pretty cool stuff. 3. The office staff is super friendly and accommodating. They have worked with us with school schedules, vacation plans, work emergencies, and sports. 4. The office always has some sort of contest going on for the kids. Contests range from naming exotic animals to sending in postcards from the farthest vacation spot.

And the prizes are amazing. 5. They have put braces on an alligator. True story. But don't take my word for it.;) This list could go on and on. But trust me, you'll love Thomas Shipley as much as we do. SECRET TIP: After school is the busiest time in the office during the school year and mornings are the busiest in the summer. Wait times are never terrible.but you'll never have to wait if you schedule off-peak.
