When you enter this little German house you will see clowns, clowns and more clowns! Don't be afraid. I found out that years ago Dr. S had a patient give him a clown drawing. He hung it up and from that day on his patients assumed he loved clowns and to this day they bring him paintings, dolls and anything clown related. It can be overwhelming but we like it. Both of my children come here for their follow up with braces. They have always had exceptional care by the father and son team and all the techs working with them. They are informative and very professional. I believe they are 3 generations of orthodontists. Beautiful smiles are or speciality is their motto.

I've always bragged about this office the techs and dental team are amazing. But over the last year…read moresomething has really changed and I'm not sure what happened........ For starters, Dr. Newman and Dr. Engel are no longer there, and there was no communication about this when I had just begun my ortho treatment. That's something I would have appreciated transparency on, especially since it directly impacts my care. Secondly the new orthodontist has been disappointing. He doesn't introduce himself, barely interacts, and often just walks in and out without much explanation. It honestly makes me question the purpose of coming in when I could just manage my trays at home and track my own progress at this point. I've also seen that others have had similar concerns. From what I've found, he also has negative reviews elsewhere outside of this practice as well, so this experience feels inconsistent and concerning. I really wish there was more transparency and a higher standard of patient care. At the end of the day, I don't understand keeping a provider who doesn't seem to prioritize patient experience.

I genuinely used to think pulling a tooth couldn't be a form of torture, until "Doc" pulled mine. I was told, "you should feel a pulling pressure, any sharp pain and lift your hand and I'll stop and we will adjust." So, we start. I grunt real loud and we stop, I get told I should've raised my hand and I apologize. This is where this issue starts, he gives me a third numbing shot for the area, and then proceeds to go right back to pulling. No time given for that shot to take effect, and instead I get to fully feel him rip my tooth from the socket. I tried to lift my hand, and stop it but he just kept pulling. I'm coiled up in the chair in pain, I'm sweating cause it hurts so bad, and we still keep pulling. Once it's finished he makes the remark, "I wasn't about to wait 30 minutes for you to be ready." Why? Who gets hurt by having to wait 30 minutes. I could've at least used fucking 4.
