We took our daughter here for braces, and her teeth were a total mess. She just had them removed today after about 3yrs and wow how incredible they look. The staff and Dr here are great!! My daughter is super picky about Dr. and dentist in an awful way, and she has loved the staff here witch was so nice for mom and dad. Thanks A-1

I had an excellent experience with adult braces here and would continue all services through this office had I not moved for medical residency. As a fourth year medical student with a tight schedule and many demands, the staff was ALWAYS pleasant and unbelievably accommodating even when I would call them over and over having to constantly changing my appointment because my schedule would change. Dr. Padre was excellent.

He was quick and efficient but if I ever had a question (which was always), he would listen intently and address the concern and make certain I was happy with the results. I was worried about having braces as an adult but this office could not have made it any less of a bother. I love my teeth and was so happy I did it!

Was referred to them by our current dentist because she is friends with the ortho and said he did good work. We went in for the initial appointments. Had the mold made for my child and started the tooth spacing. Then I called every so often and was told they’d call. Things were behind schedule. After 6 months I stopped in to ask why they hasn’t gotten back to us to start the braces.

I was told they had no record of my child ever being there and no mold was made or sent to the labs. I called the insurance company and they thought it was interesting they said that because the insurance was charged by them. Now the same dentist said another child needs braces and I have got angry when we said we wouldn’t use this place. All around a bad experience every time. Avoid if at all possible

Dentist didn’t listen to me when I said I need certain bands for my teeth to close my gap completely when they should’ve been paying attention to that, two brackets fell off and they told me they aren’t going to replace them because they would just “fall off again” they said, took my braces off even when I still have a big gap in my teeth when the whole point of getting braces was to close my gap, my jaw doesn’t line up together, my retainer is bulky and terrible there’s bumps everywhere on it and I can barley talk with it in my mouth. Just a bad experience overall.

Now I have to pay 4 grand at another dentist for their mistakes
