I'd give Curtis Orthodontics 2 stars…read more On the positive side, the energy in the office is great and they do an excellent job making kids feel comfortable--mine actually enjoy going, which says a lot. That said, the biggest issue is availability. It feels like the focus is more on bringing patients in than actually accommodating them once they're clients. There's very little flexibility with scheduling, and getting an appointment after school (3-5 PM) is nearly impossible. Missing school regularly just isn't a realistic option for most families. If they could improve access and scheduling flexibility, this would be a much stronger experience overall.

Through the course of my life, I have employed four different orthodontists to straighten and…read morerestraighten my teeth. I finally learned that the clue to success is actually wearing the retainers (duh). Having returned to the CDA area, I selected Curtis Orthodontics because of their proximity and Yelp reviews. WOW was I surprised. What a gorgeous, light, airy, attractive facility! All the workers and all the patients exiting and waiting seemed very upbeat. I had booked the appointment for a tech to make a new mold to replace my broken retainer. Unexpectedly, Dr Curtis cheerfully involved himself in the process and offered two completely different approaches to my retainer. I left with a repaired retainer and an insurmountable feeling of bliss and gratitude. If you are in need of an orthodontist, please stop in and check out Curtis Orthodontics.

My experience as a patient under the care of Dr. Bret Johnson over the past few years has been…read moredeeply disappointing. I began treatment with the expectation of receiving competent, attentive, and professional orthodontic care. Unfortunately what I received instead was a consistent pattern of poor service, lack of accountability, and a practice that prioritizes VOLUME over patient well-being. I experienced so many issues with my Invisalign treatment. Multiple scans were done improperly significantly delaying my progress. Those errors were largely the result of an inattentive and poorly trained staff. One particularly disappointing incident involved dental glue being cured on my skin an avoidable mistake that should never occur in a professional clinical setting. Zero accountability was taken. I will say at one point there was a single staff member who stood out for her professionalism and care and she made a noticeable difference for me during her time there. She's the only reason I decided not to transfer care but she eventually left the practice which only emphasizes the ongoing issues with staff turnover. My appointments have been marked by disorganization and long wait times far beyond the scheduled appointment time. It's very much an assembly-line approach to patient care. The office always feels overcrowded and very rushed with little regard for individual attention. Rescheduling appointments was unnecessarily difficult and rigid. I was consistently met with inflexibility from the administrative side of the practice. Patient convenience is never a consideration. I also experienced significant billing issues. Automatic payments continued to be withdrawn from my account. It took multiple contacts with the office to resolve the issue and receive reimbursement. Dr. Johnson's demeanor shifted to one that felt increasingly indifferent and dismissive once I stopped responding to his insincere superficial interactions. It became clear that a genuine rapport and patient connection were not priorities for him. He didn't care about my case. My experience with Dr. Bret Johnson's practice was consistently substandard. Every single part of it. From clinical care to customer service. Every facet of my treatment fell short of reasonable expectations. I'm seriously disappointed. Orthodontic treatment is an investment of both time and financial resources and I expected a provider who is competent. I assumed that's what I was paying for. I would highly suggest anybody considering orthodontic care to seek it elsewhere.

I told her she is a godsend and heaven sent angel. The only issue is she left six months into treating my daughters ortho case, but she wrote meticulous notes for Dr. Bunker to follow and he did a wonderful job finishing her through her ortho journey.

He is a kind human and a GREAT Dentist. His staff Amy and Erik are very very experienced and knowledgeable about all phases of the business. They are kind and caring. DONT NOT believe the negative comments, they are not true. These are people who in general are never satisfied and seem to always want something for nothing.

As far as care goes they seem knowledgeable and do a good job. (From what I can tell.... but time…read morewill tell as these are all initial appointments...) As far as respecting clients time not so much.... I always expect dental appointments to run long, but when I schedule an appointment at 8, I expect to been seen at 8, not 8:30. Three appointments and all three have been 20-45 minutes past the check in time. Once I was willing to forgive, twice I was annoyed, third time is unforgivable. I will say, I was told we never checked in to the 3rd appointment, but after waiting in line for ten minutes (it was very busy and the people ahead of us were not prepared. We were also fifteen minutes early because we have quite the drive and I don't like being late) spoke to a receptionist we had worked with at another location as well and she assured us we would be seen shortly, so on my end I did what I needed to do. Once back in the exam area we typically wait another 10-15 minutes. They seem to really struggle being ready to go and again all three times things were missing and they had to go looking for the supplies needed to complete the process.... Now it might be a bad time where they have a lot of new staff, but 3/3 tells me this is a systemic problem not an individual training issue. And the only staff we encountered more than once was the receptionist. We went to three different offices for our appointments so not a particular office either. Overall their staff are friendly, they just don't seem super confident or prepared.

The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and Dr. Weigand is kind, personable, and great at what he does. I have a wonderful experience every time I go in. Dr. Weigand uses state of the art equipment to identify problems early, and fix them quickly. He frequently utilizes lasers in his practice. Obviously it is at the doctors discretion when it is used so no promises on having this technology used on you, but for shallow cavities the doctor was able to use a laser device to remove and fill the cavities without having to numb me. It was awesome! Instead of being in there for an hour and not being able to eat for the next few hours, I was in and out in about 25 minutes and had nothing preventing normal eating or drinking. There was a cold sensation associated with the use of the device but there wasn't any pain. I'm sure the experience can differ from person to person and cavity to cavity, but it was amazing technology. While he is a bit on the pricey side, if you have good dental insurance I would highly suggest seeing Dr. Weigand. The time and care that is taken to ensure your mouth is in good health won't leave you disappointed.

Okay. So I am torn between two stars and three…read more I had my braces on years ago, and had them removed in 2002. I am in the United States Navy and they put a top bar on my mouth before I left for Boot camp in 2007 so I wouldn't loose my retainer. Well about 4 years ago my top bar broke and I had it fixed and with a new permanent retainer the female of the two orthodontist's (I believe dr. Paxton) did not charge me much I think it was less than 200.00 also including the clear retainer. Well I was home 4 years later visiting for bloomsday and schedule an appointment because my top bar broke again, I was quoted 160.00 on the phone, well by the time I was done they took the cement off my bottom bar, did my top bar then gave me a retainer. I was about to leave and one of the ladies that works there said "oh that's going to be 375" and the male orthodontist said you shouldn't have been quoted over the phone, we will fix that internally. well I obviously couldn't not pay it. But when you're quoted 160 and it comes out to 375 that's a pretty big difference. If something happens again I will not come back, which is sad after literally 15+ years. There's plenty of orthodontist where I live (San Diego) that I'll get it taken care of.

I met with the doctor and he was great and easy to speak with, but the woman kept shooting me looks over his shoulder and ignored me as I left the room after my appointment and did not walk me out even though I made it clear I did not know my way out. I will not be coming back. I do not recommend this place if you are searching for treatment as an adult.
