Thank you, Dr. Jay Bowman and Kalamazoo Orthodontics. The orthodontic treatment provided by Dr. Jay Bowman and his staff at Kalamazoo Orthodontics transformed me and my son's "deep bite" into perfect smiles. I appreciate the care he and his staff took to ensure our teeth were beautiful. Dr. Jay Bowman is a GREAT orthodontist. He really knows his trade. It always amazes me that he knows exactly how to heal our smiles, manages his three Kalamazoo Orthodontics locations (Kalamazoo, Portage, and Paw Paw), and is known world-wide for his contributions to orthodontics, some of which include travelling the world to teach classes, attend educational conferences, give presentations, and write articles that are published orthodontics publications. We always enjoyed our appointments. Dr. Jay Bowman and his staff are like family to us, always smiling, friendly, and greeting us by name. In addition, I personally appreciate Dr. Bowman's 1980s music, E.T., and Star Wars memorabilia. His offices are decorated beautifully! I also appreciate his love for music and that he plays the keyboard in a local band. Not only does Dr. Jay Bowman know how to correct smiles, but he also knows how to create smiles. I cannot recommend a better orthodontist than our own Kalamazoo, Michigan, Dr. Jay Bowman and Kalamazoo Orthodontics. They are the best in the world!!! We are so lucky! Amy S.

I thank Dr. Bowman and his orthodontic practice for a terrific job! I am happy not only because my teeth and smile are better (obviously that was the idea!), but also due to the fact that I went with the suggestion Dr. Bowman offered during the initial consultation and it all worked out beautifully thus far. I was first somewhat apprehensive especially being an adult, but when I heard that more than 20% of his patients are grownups, that eased my mind a great deal. My family, friends and colleagues were also supportive. My teenage son particularly liked the way his two-years orthodontic treatment proceeded at the same facility Frankly my son inspired me to see Dr. Bowman. At Dr. Bowman's practice, we feel patients are treated well and orthodontic plans are based on individual's needs, be it for teens or grownups. In my case, the length of treatment was a bit longer and the process was more complex, but it seems now the time went pretty fast! I now think I should have done it a long time ago. I feel it's the best decision I have ever made for myself. The overall experience was absolutely fantastic. The staff is great, very caring and accommodating. They understood my concerns and took it to Dr. Bowman for resolution. The practice also has cutting edge technology which gave me much confidence. We (son and I) appreciate what Dr. Bowman and his staff did for our teeth and our smiles! read more

I have been a nurse for many years, and like many of you, have my share of mixed experiences when dealing with health care professionals. If you are looking for an orthodontic practice that will treat you with respect and listen to your concerns as a parent, you need to look no further than Kalamazoo Orthodontics. Dr. Jay Bowman and his staff are simply some of the kindest, most knowledgeable, and professional people I have encountered. Dr. Bowman and his treatment coordinator Susan Willis-Schippers had been evaluating my son for several years to determine if orthodontic treatment was needed. These yearly evaluation visits required Dr. Bowman's time and expense for diagnostic x-rays and photographs, yet he and his staff never pressured for any treatment that was not absolutely required. We ended up not requiring the services of Kalamazoo Orthodontics for my son, but I am very proud to give the highest possible endorsement of this practice. I can tell you for certain, that if I ever do require further orthodontic treatment for my family, I will look no further than Kalamazoo Orthodontics. J. David Prater, BSN, RN read more

It has been a pleasure for our son Nicklaus Tiller to be one of your patients. He absolutely loves coming here. From the first time we visited for a evaluation to getting phase 1 finished up you and your staff have been nothing but exceptional. The staff is always courteous and the whole office is ran so effieciently. Plus the added bonus is Dr. J taking his time to spend with each patient and inquire how things are going. He really cares about his patients and it shows. Amazing how quickly your Butterfly System starts working. Nicklaus was out of Phase 1 quicker than all thought. Were believers! Next month our youngest has the priviledge of you being his Orthodontist. Wouldn't take him to anyone else. TRULY THE BEST!!!! Thank you for your support. He really likes you in his corner. One of the best decisions we have ever made was for you to be his orthodontist. By far the best decorated offices in the midwest, no one has more music and sport artifacts than Dr. J's Offices.

Kalamazoo Orthodontics is the best place in the Kalamazoo area to get braces. Dr. Bowman did the orthodontic work on all 3 of my children and they have the most beautiful smiles imaginable. If you want to get a perfect smile that lasts, go to Dr. Bowman. If you just want straight teeth, you can go anywhere. Staff are wonderful. Dr. Bowman is world renowned. His offices are so fun to go to my kids couldn't wait until their next orthodontic appointment. He had to do major teeth and jaw movement with my son and Dr. Bowman did it with minimally invasive processes. I can always tell when my children's friends get their braces off who did their orthodontic work; if they have a perfect smile, they had their orthodontic work done by Dr. Bowman. If not, they had their work done somewhere else. I highly recommend Kalamazoo Orthodontics without any reservation read more

Dr. Bowman did a great job on my son's smile and the entire staff makes you feel like family. My son started out with a huge overbite and lots of crooked teeth and now two years later he has a perfectly straight beautiful smile. The staff was always friendly and went the extra mile to make sure you understand everything that is being done along the way. The office has all kinds of fun decor and the best chairs that give you a massage while you wait. The kids get to earn points for taking good care of their teeth and can redeem them for gift cards. We have enjoyed everything about Kalamazoo Orthodontics and would recommend them to anyone looking for an awesome orthodontist. read more

Want the perfect smile and the best office experience with an orthodontist? Kalamazoo Orthodontics (K.O.) is the place. Dr. Bowman and his highly trained, professional staff are the best. We heard about Dr. Bowman long before my children were his patients. My son had a botched brace job from another dentist that Dr. Bowman corrected in just six months. My daughter just started her treatment this summer and is doing great. His research, innovation and cutting-edge techniques are what set him above the rest in his profession. The office staff is friendly and extremely accommodating. All this makes it easy to refer others to K.O. read more

We are on our third kid, fourth set of orthodontics with Kalamazoo Orthodontics. (Someone wouldn't wear their retainer) We couldn't be happier with Kalamazoo Orthodontics unless it was free. The office staff is friendly and inviting as well as being very efficient. None of the kids has ever complained about going which speaks to the staff and the job they do. The waiting room is comfortable and the atmosphere is great! And the most important thing and the end of the process the smiles are beautiful! Dr Bowman is a great guy and the results make the everything worthwhile. read more

Kalamazoo/Portage we are so lucky to have such a skilled and cutting edge orthodontia team nestled in our own community.

When it came to the smile of our boys there was no question who would be forming their smile for a lifetime....Dr. Bowman and Team, thank you for your commitment to our community and all the many beautiful smiles you have helped shape for our world to enjoy. read more

We have been working with Dr. Bowman for a year and a half. Probably one of the things we like most is that Dr. Bowman and his staff really understand how tough it is to be a teenager, especially a teenager with appliances in your mouth. While the procedures may not always be the most pleasant, the visit to the office always is. We have not completed treatment yet, but the improvement is already unbelievable. We really shopped around and researched orthodontists. We could not be more pleased with our choice. read more

Both of my children and now myself have had our braces done by Dr. Bowman. All three of us have had beautiful results! The staff is friendly and patient. Being an older patient with braces, I appreciated the kind and helpful staff in getting me through the process. It took me a few tries to master those rubber bands, but how worth it!! I would highly recommend his practice to anyone. They are the best! read more

We were in Kalamazoo for the summer when my daughter had an elastic come loose and needed to be seen as the wire was poking her. Dr. Bowman's office accommodated us with an appointment the same day. The reception was welcoming and efficient both in the intake and payment ends of our visit. The doctor assessed her situation and she was attended to and felt much better. read more

Returning appointments are going to be wonderful! read more

My son started seeing Dr. Bowman a few months ago We were so impressed with the service, the environment, and the time Dr. Bowman gave us to explain everything with our consultation.
