Based on my experience, I would avoid this practice. My teenaged daughter received a full set of…read morebraces from Stubbs Orthodontics. Over time, after brace removal and thousands spent, her teeth drifted back close to their original state. Upon a re-visit to Stubbs Orthodontics, we were told she would need another full set of braces at a cost of approximately $7,000. I reached out to Dr. Stubbs via email explaining it to be our contention that my daughter was not given proper instructions as to retainer use upon discharge, hence the drifting of her teeth, and that spending thousands a second time to be unreasonable. After that initial email (as I was instructed to send by her office staff) directed to Dr. Stubbs on December 17, 2025, instead of a response from Dr. Stubbs, I received an email on January 7, 2026, 3 weeks later, from her office manager Emily stating Dr. Stubb's position that my daughter was given proper instructions, it was my daughter's fault, but that "I'd like to work with you on how we can move forward and do the best thing for Michele-how would you like to proceed?" As the causation of the failed treatment was in dispute, but it seemed Dr. Stubbs wanted to work with us on a resolution, I responded to Emily that it would be incumbent upon Dr. Stubbs to suggest as to how we might proceed in my daughter's best interests, and that I looked forward to hearing back from Dr. Stubbs on the matter. I heard nothing back from anyone. I reached back out to Emily requesting a response directly from Dr. Stubbs. Again, I heard nothing, and have heard nothing. I can only assume, at least based on this experience, Dr. Stubbs not only hides behind her office manager in situations she finds uncomfortable, but also stonewalls parents/patients if she does not like a differing position. Having a healthcare background myself as owner/operating of orthopedic sports medicine facilities, I along with the treating licensed therapists dealt directly with patient/parent disputes, no matter how uncomfortable, and in person. Life can be uncomfortable at times, opinions differ, and hiding resolves nothing. Patients/parents not only deserved our attention, but it was integral in offering superior service and care, learning from each situation and building positive relationships. This is also part of being a professional, and an adult. I recognize the reason my daughter's teeth drifted is in dispute after thousands spent, a situation I feel could have been discussed as adults, and remedied, but there is no dispute that the owner/operator and supervising physician of my daughter failed to offer even the courtesy of a response to a patient's parent upon multiple requests, and instead, ignored them. I find this to be weak, and prefer a strong healthcare provider with conviction for my children. I can also only assume Emily's, or Dr. Stubb's offer to work with us was disingenuous from the start. Trust is the most important aspect of any relationship, much less when relating to that of patient/parent and healthcare provider, building credibility. We will be moving on to another provider we find credible and can trust to correct my daughter's teeth.

This staff should get a 5 star. Great people! But management is still not understanding the mask…read moredeal. It seems like a big corporation who's trying to cover their butts. Hopefully it won't cost them. Another corporation not seeing the big picture. Their corporate policy is masks inside or curbside service. I came in as a first timer without a mask. 2 staff members insisted I wear a mask or I physically leave the building. They brought a mask and I wore it for 2 minutes. They took my dog to the back and I walked outside to take my mask off. Now I'm outside talking with someone on the phone. This company is cutting off their human elements, communication being the main one. I can't see any of the employees beautiful faces and now I have to talk them on my cell phone in front of the store. And then they just texted me my digital invoice that I am paying on my phone from the parking lot. This company is willing to jeopardize their entire patient and customer workflow in the name of wearing a mask. I really feel bad for the employees here who are working hard but still have to stress out with their customers about a stupid mask. Great staff, but unreasonable company policies.

It's nice to enter an office whereby you feel taken in to a doctor's personal life, I feel it helps give a sense of the individual's character which, let's face it, you don't always know when meeting a new practitioner. I was taken aback initially by the virtual consult, if you're like me- don't let that stop you. So happy we stuck with it! Part of the reason I followed through, was honestly because of the excellent phone demeanor of the gentlemen setting the appointment. He was so positive, encouraging and reflected a confidence in this practice- What a great asset to the practice he is! Similarly, everyone in the office was equally as graceful. Look forward to continuing care here. We moved here from out of state and trusted in the online reputation of the office.

I asked if no one else could do a simple cleaning and was told maybe someone else could.
