Upon deciding whether or not we should have our son wear braces, who has an almost perfect smile,…read morewe visited a couple of Amarillo's homegrown orthodontic offices, based upon recommendations. It's true that many families will go where they're referred. We've sat through two different consultations, and while they were both informative and helpful, it seemed that Hodges & Hodges cared and really wanted to get to know their clients. The bottom dollar was also a factor in whether our son should wear braces. One orthodontist even commented that it looked like our son had gone through "phase one" with braces already, which he hadn't! Good news: we opted to put him in braces and Hodges & Hodges told us 12-14 months! From Cassie, the assistant who runs the consultations, to Brande, who works the finances, and to Dr. Patrick Hodges-- we were extremely pleased with their friendliness, ability to answer all of our questions, and then the pricing. It was seriously $800 less than their competitor, and they offer the same thing but in less time (their competitor quoted us 18 months). We've known multiple families who used H&H plus a few former employees and we've always heard great things! Our son gets braces in just a few days and we know we've chosen the right office with the right doctors, with the right methods, and the right staff! We're thankful Amarillo has such a great place! *Also, my niece just got her braces off (from H&H) and her confidence has blossomed...her teeth look great!

Was the only place I went to, so I dont know how they compare to other Amarillo orthos, but I do…read morewish I shopped around a bit first. I felt like it was a bit pricey for what others told me they paid in this area. The staff overall seemed like they didnt want to be there, there is always a strange vibe I couldnt put my finger on. Most of the time the staff wouldnt even speak to me because they were too busy gossiping about coworkers or whatever. Its one of those places that has a row of chairs all lined up right next to each other and treats patients like a head of cattle in a processing plant. You definitely dont get the personal touch here, if thats what you look for. The Hodges brothers pretty much spend as little time as possible interacting with you, and brush off any issues you may be having unless you keep insisting that they investigate further. They just want you out of there to open up the seat for the next patient. Really, I imagine I couldve gone about anywhere here for the same results as I got. I would not recommend this office to any friends for the reasons I listed. Shop around and find a staff you wont get tired of seeing for the next couple of years, trust me!
