My son has only been going a short time, but we are very happy so far. The doctor and staff are very friendly and I feel we were presented with a conservative plan that was in the best interest of our son, not just the best interest of the clinic.

I went there to get my braces and overall nice staff but the orthodontist only had my braces on for 6 months and even with the retainers my teeth shifted; I did everything like they said to do and wear them as told to and they wanted me to pay $250-$300 for new retainers when my teeth done shifted out of The old retainers. I contacted another orthodontist and they recommended at least 1-2 years of braces. I highly do not recommend this place to no one.

Dr. Woods is amazing. Anytime my kids had issues with their wires breaking or anything they would have me bring them that day. My son was supposed to wear his braces approximately 2 years and he ended up getting them off in a little over a year.

Absolutely wonderful! I am 33 and took the leap for adult braces. Dr. Mackenzie Woods never made me feel less-than. She is so kind, gentle, and supportive. They also work with you on payment plans without using your credit score. The office staff, Janette, is friendly and professional. They work to get you in on time. I highly recommend this place!
