Before deciding to get braces I went to a few different orthos and ultimately decided to go with…read moreDr. Hulme and am so glad I did! He gave me options based on my concerns and let me decide which route to take without any pressure (unlike other offices I went to before). I got my braces put on right before Covid hit and once everything shut down I started to freak out a little. But Dr. Hulme and his staff did an OUTSTANDING job with constant communication during the lockdown as well as top notch safety precautions once they were allowed to open back up. Not only did I feel safe going back in but them rescheduling everyone went seamlessly so that I was still able to stay on track with my treatment plan and estimated time to finish. I just recently got my braces taken off and couldn't be happier with the end result! Dr. Hulme is not only knowledgeable but also very sweet and seems to really care about his patients. Him and his entire team did an amazing job!

Although the staff is very friendly, when I came for a consultation, I felt pressured to get all these other services done while then being handed a pamphlet for financial services. The appointment took about 45 minutes mostly due to me waiting for the dentist to come in and not even address my issue. They also require a deposit for any service you set up. I didn't feel comfortable here so I went somewhere else and found the care I deserved. I just felt like another number at Huebner smiles.

Dr. Gonzalez had nothing but stellar things to say about Dr. K as she called her. We called to set up the consult and our phone call was greeted by a very friendly voice of Chuck who helped get us scheduled. Everyone is so nice, **I should have gone into orthodontics, everyone is so happy here** We came in for the consult and were greeted with water and an awesome check-in experience. Vickie took us on a tour of the whole office which is state of the art, well organized, and beautiful. She helped us with a basic run-down of the experience as well as a little of her personal testimony about braces in general. Both were very helpful as we were clueless. We waited just a bit for Dr. K as she is working in Stone Oak as well for now. Both Vickie and Chuck were talkative and made us feel at home. Dr. K arrived and talked us through the options. She was so thorough and was making us feel understood. She allowed us to schedule the very next week and in order to save time, allowed us to do the pre-braces checklist for pictures and place spacers before we left to save us time. We are at the appointment now to place the braces. They have a variety of payment options to include: CareCredit, an in-house payment plan with down payment, and a percentage off of the total if paid in full. Not sure if this is a promotion but either way, great options. They do take Tricare and are considered in-network which is always a plus. Now for the amenities, I posted pictures which do it no justice but the facility has a brushing station, game room with free Pacman and a charging station for devices. Their medical equipment is top of line. NO GOOPY MOLDS!! They use 3D imaging and it's amazing to be able to see the potential end product. Their X-ray machine is new and very quick. I can't say enough about this place and its staff. We are so lucky to have found them while we are here. Highly Recommend!

I came in with a concern from my dentist about how the permanent retainer, that Ferris Orthodontics…read moreput on, was done. My dentist was concerned with how it was placed and noted excessive glue on it, which was making it impossible to maintain and keep from plaque buildup. Ferris dismissed the concerns and told me that my dentist was wrong. I've gotten two separate dentists opinions on it, and they both told me the same thing. Ferris Orthodontist continues to tell me that "the two other dentists were wrong and they have done it perfectly" (exact quote). They did not end up offering a solution and I felt like my thoughts and concerns were irrelevant to them. I felt disrespected and disregarded. Definitely not pleased with the service I payed for!

We did our research and went to two different places to receive evaluations.
