I've taken both kids here. My first kid got her braces off right before an unexpected hospitalization, and she wasn't able to wear her retainer for about a week. After that, the retainer didn't fit. I asked them to help me out, and I was told for $500 they would put the braces back on for a month so that the retainer would fit. I know it's not their fault, but I think that price is a bit steep. I took my second kid in, and he has sensory issues. He won't wear the rubber bands, and they didn't offer me another solution for his overbite. It was like, well, you just paid $3500 and we'll do the best we can. That was disappointing. Also, lately, it's been extremely difficult to change your appointment. You have to book your next appointment before you leave, but that's too bad if something comes up and you have to switch appointment times. You are looking at waiting an additional 6 weeks for a slot to come up, extending your time in braces. If you play by their rules, it's a great place. If you need someone flexible and understanding, find somewhere else to go. Positives: clean office, appts go on time read more

Dr. Allen's staff is awesome and always makes sure my daughter is comfortable. She tends to become anxious before her appointments but she feels at ease during and after her appointments. The fresh baked cookies don't hurt. read more

Allen orthodontics is awesome they also takes adults! I have spent 35 years being embarrassed to smile because of my teeth. Dr Allen was straight forward and nice about what he could accomplish. The staff have all been sweet and enthusiastic every time we have been in. I will be using them for my 3 kids as well. Thank you Allen Orthodontics! read more

Unfortunately, this office has not met my expectations. The hours of operation don't fit with a schedule of someone who works and I had to take off constantly to go in to be refitted with my liners. After about a year of this, I couldn't do it anymore and had to stop my treatment plan although I wasn't even finished. I was told at the start of my plan that I'd have lifetime reprints of my liners- thankfully- as these crack in the front about every 3 months due to such poor quality and I've noticed my alignment is starting to migrate. What a waste of thousands of dollars. And every time I'm told I have to take off work to come in to pick them up. I actually did that once, but when I got there that office was already closed even though their posted hours stated they should have been open for another 25 MINUTES. After that I started requesting them to be mailed to me. I'm unsure if there's new staff there recently, but I've experienced numerous errors from being told I now have to pay for reprints to the wrong liners being printed and sent to me. I was even recently asked by a staff member if I had my molds to do reprints- isn't that something the office should have???? Why would a patient be required to bring in their molds to have new liners printed? There doesn't seem to be a reasonable level of communication within the office and it's now been a month since I asked for a new set and I still don't have them. Apparently, the new set has been sitting at the office for who knows how long despite being told that they would be sent to me. No one even bothered to call to notify me. No information relayed to staff that they were supposed to be mailed. Really wish I had gone with another office who prioritized patient care over gimmicks like cookies and t-shirts and not be treated like I'm on an assembly line. read more

Besides masks, no changes or precautions have been made in response to the current pandemic. This is a practice in which mouths are open constantly!!! There are no partitions up of any sort, and capacity of seats are in no way limited. Patients are seated less than 4 feet away from eachother, all with mouths open for procedures. This is how the virus easily spreads. People lie on the health forms all the time. The least you can do is limit the capacity! Or put up protective partitions! For months since you have been open, all you have in place are masks. May be time for me to speak to the city or county about this matter. Lovely staff nonetheless. read more

Go to Dr. Allen for your orthodontic work! I went to him as an adult about 10 years ago in my mid-30s. At the time I hated smiling because of my crooked and turned around teeth. Plus I had an overbite! Dr. Allen did an amazing job fixing my teeth and allowing me to smile without embarrassment. I recently had to visit his staff again and I cannot tell you how grateful I am to him and his staff. Thank you Cynthia! Thank you Brigette! :) read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr Allen and his staff. Both myself, my wife and my daughter went to Dr Allen. My wife and daughter loved the very special service they received from Dr Allen. My daughter always looked forward to make her appointments because of the personal attention she received and there was always something fun going on in the office. Myself, I did not receive treatment from Dr Allen but had a consultation when I was going through a complete mouth restoration. He was kind enough to share his expert opinion with me so that I could make informed decisions on what direction I should take with my treatment. To this day when I see Dr Allen he often ask me how my restoration is doing, now at 2 years after treatment. With out a doubt, I would recommend Dr Allen to friends and family. read more

Dr. Allen and his staff are amazing! Both my son and I had our braces put in the same time and was able to have our appointments at the same time for the majority of time. If there was an issue with our braces which was not very often the staff was willing to accommodate and get us right in and on some occasions I was able to just walk in to get the issue taken care of.

Dr Allen's office is awesome! I got my braces off 3 months ago and every time I look into the mirror And see my results I get happy all over again! They have this program where you can purchase to replace your retainer for a lifetime, I've already had to use it because I ended up throwing it away on my lunch break! Great atmosphere and always fresh warm cookies when you walk in. I really miss my visits...but appreciate the chance to still stop in whenever I need a replacement! 2 thumbs up and a peace sign! read more

The staff is friendly but the Doctor is trying to server too many patients. They mistakenly removed my sons lower braces and in turn offered $50 off of my next bill. They never deducted the $50 and this was several months ago. They have made several mistakes booking us. There is a miscommunication between the administration and the secretary/billing. The good part is my sons teeth are straightening. Update: They did take off the $50 after I called them and reminded them. It is still difficult to get an appointment within a short period. My son lost 3 brackets and I have to wait 2 1/2 weeks until his regular appointment to get them remounted. read more

This place is great if you are not using dental insurance. They use a 3rd party service to bill the insurance companies. If the 3rd party service cant figure out what the insurance wants they just say it was denied. I have to do all the leg work with Delta Dental just to make the claims go through. None of Dr.Allen staff answers via email, have to call every time. Would be nice to just email someone at Dr.Allen staff the EOB so they can send Delta Dental what they want. Fyi, they offered 0% financing but dont tell you about the "financing fee" unless you catch it in the paperwork, I thought that was a bit sneaky on them. read more

Dr Allen and his staff have been amazing during this whole experience. The previous Orthodontist we went to wanted to pull 4 teeth before my daughters treatment, and we were very precarious. She is getting her braces on today, and we are very excited for the results. Thank you Dr Allen! read more

We have absolutely nothing but glowing things to say about Allen Orthodontics. They have cared for two of our children (so far), and we couldn't be happier. For starters, and most importantly, our children's teeth came out perfectly. Dr. Allen gave them each an absolutely gorgeous smile, with no dental problems at all. Dr. Allen was friendly, personable and paid incredible attention to our kids through the entire process. The service we received was wonderful; the entire team was helpful and respectful. Even the waiting room experience was positive--none of the crazy delays we're all accustomed to in other places. In fact, they go out of their way to make it a great environment. They serve cookies, and have a TV and a video game console to help siblings pass the time. Treatment times were perfectly reasonable. We always left happy with our experience and with the results we were seeing. I am happy to be critical of unsatisfactory services--my other yelp reviews will prove it--but Allen Orthodontics was exactly what we hoped for: professional, friendly and efficient. Above all, they gave each of our children a beautiful smile. One more to go! read more

I felt very comfortable with them and can't wait to start my plan! -More to come! read more
