Altherr Orthodontics has been a great place for our son! Dr. Altherr and the entire staff is always kind, patient, and gentle. They've always been happy to help in the various situations that come with the territory of combining young children and braces.

My experience with Altherr Orthodontics has been nothing short of amazing. Everybody is so nice and welcoming. I always looked forward to my appointments every month. Dr. Altherr is a very nice knowledgeable man, he could answer any of your questions and use all these big words but throw in great examples so you can really understand.

You can really see that he is passionate about what he does. Also I want to throw in that Amanda is the best! she was always so gentle and considerate of what may hurt while working on my teeth. I honestly have no complaints for the time I spent at Altherr Orthodontics.

We live in Rolesville and have been with Dr. Altherr for eight years. Even though there are orthodontists closer to us - especially when it came to our second child we choose to stay with Dr. Altherr because of the excellent care our first child received. The service is always outstanding and we continue to get lots of compliments on their smiles. Dr.

Altherr takes time to talk with you and provide updates after each appointment, which is really appreciated. The front desk team is especially great- friendly, helpful and easy to work with when making appointments and asking questions. The practice truly values its patients and families. I sincerely and highly recommend Dr. Altherr and his staff.
