I feel as though he sold me a bill of goods knowing full well that the end result was going to be braces all along. I then had 3 consultations with other orthodontists, one of whom was a school friends father. I told none of them that she had been using a retainer or was recommended for braces. All 3 told me my daughter should have been in braces a year prior minimum...one said 2 years. Dr. Wong will use you as a source of revenue without regard for your childs dental health.

The reception was crowded and you would have to walk right past unmasked staff to go have your teeth worked on. The area where they work on teeth is not far from the reception area with all the unmasked people. The technicians are only wearing masks, no face shields while working on patience teeth which is not safe for them. We turned right around and left. My daughter only has a few more months of treatment, but I will never trust Hacken with her care! I'd pay anything to avoid that Covid pit! And there are at least dentists in South Bend that do care about their patience and staff. For instance, Granger Family Dentistry has their staff not only masked but with face shields and full hazmat suits. You have to call from your car upon arrival and they escort you in without seeing other patience or many staff right to the doctor. Very safe. Very professional. Very respectful. Polar opposite of Hacken Orthodontics!

Dr. Lynch listens to his patients and does not recommend unnecessary dental procedures that many other dental providers talk their patients into because the dental provider receives the profit. I have a great deal of respect for Dr. Lynch, Dr. Mader, and their staff. Dr. Lynch & Dr. Mader's dental office is also very beautiful and creates a relaxing ambience prior to any procedure being performed.

I had a recent experience with another Ortho (Harrington Orthodontics) which is local to me. That…read moreexperience was less than stellar - frankly less than anyone should have to endure from a medical professional. I made the decision which was both time consuming and financially impactful to switch Orthodontists 6 months into treatment with the other said office (the investment financially would not be refunded, as well as time being that their office is very close to me and Dr. Thomas is a 20 min drive each way). Even my first consult with Dr. Thomas made me feel at ease with his office. He was both kind and empathetic to the situation I was coming from. I had a long road ahead and seeing the difference from office to office I now know what great hands I am in. We removed the braces from the previous office, allowed my teeth to stabilize and then started completely over. Dr. Thomas takes his time and really puts all that he has into his patients and ensuring their smile and end goals are clear and articulated in a way that I could understand. Now, being well into my treatment with this office I couldn't recommend them more. I feel informed, respected and know this is the type of experience everyone should have - especially when it comes to something as important as your smile!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
