If you’ve got a pile of cash you’re dying to waste and want your teeth messed up so bad they hurt forever, this is your genius. Dr. Clark struts around like she invented braces or something, but I’ve seen IKEA shelves put together with more precision. She talks a big game about being all “inclusive and professional,” but it’s mostly just ego and constant upselling.

End result? A jacked-up smile and a bill so straight it could walk a runway. Good luck with that.

My daughter, Shyann got braces here & So far, we absolutely love Dr. Maxine Clark & Her staff. They have all been so kind, gentle & knowledgeable. Thank you guys for everything you're doing to help my baby get her confidence & self esteem 💟 Environment is clean, welcoming, relaxing & positive, with a tv screen that shows some beautiful scenery like islands & oceans. They give you or your child tools to help with their oral hygiene & even give incentives to keep up with their good oral hygiene, which I like. In Shyanns words "I'm so glad you picked Dr.

Clark Mom. She's really nice & so is the other lady who helped her. I was nervous about dentists but they made me feel at ease". Definitely would recommend.

I am so appreciative of Dr. Maxine Clark for being so professional and understanding. I had some problems with my billing and she personally sat at the front desk and walked me and her staff through the payment process.

She went above and beyond to help me feel at home. Her staff is also very polite and office is immaculately clean. My daughter enjoys her check-ups and looks forward to picking out her rubber band colors for her braces!

I found the orthodontic service to be disappointingly overpriced relative to the quality of treatment received. Unfortunately, it felt like the orthodontist prioritized financial gain over patient care, demonstrating minimal attentiveness to my concerns and communication. After payment was made, the level of care noticeably declined, leaving me feeling undervalued as a patient. Additionally, Dr.

Clark never listened to how I felt about the treatment and frequently argued, attempting to justify her unsuccessful outcomes rather than addressing the real issues. I have specific concerns regarding Dr. Clark's qualifications and official training. The lack of thorough professional expertise in her approach raised questions about her professional background and the validity of her licensure.

Given this experience, I strongly recommend prospective patients carefully verify Dr. Clark's credentials and training background and consider alternative orthodontic providers who prioritize genuine patient care, clear communication, and consistently high-quality treatment.
