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!!

I have very complicated TMJ jaw issues and I saw Dr. Hoffman because he came up online as someone…read morewho specializes in TMJ problems. After two visits, I would NOT recommend going here if you have complex jaw issues. My issue is that my discs are displaced and locked, not just that my muscles are sore bc of clenching and griding. Went I first saw Dr. Hoffman, he recommended botox in my masseters and temples. He also recommended a repositioning split. The bill that I was given at that appointment included both the botox and the fitting for the splint which was done at the follow up appointment two weeks later. This was well over $1k. At my follow up appointment, the fitting for the splint took only about 30 seconds which I found concerning. Then i got the price for the splint which was $4k. I did not feel comfortable paying this after a 30 second measurement, so I decided to get a second opinion before moving forward. He also told me that he has only treated this in 5% or less of his patients. Overall, I am very unhappy with my experience here. I felt pressured into spending over $1000 on something that was totally unnecessary. I wish he would have been upfront and honest about his ability to treat my issue and recommended that I go somewhere that is more specialized in TMJ problems.

For some background I got three different consultations for Invisalign, and this office was by far the least pushy and most affordable option. They offer financing and a really good deal on retainers once treatment is over. All the staff here are super responsive and I love how you can text their number to reschedule or adjust appointments. I've never had to wait more than one minute to be called in for my appointment, even when I've arrived early. It's been about eight weeks since I've started my Invisalign treatment, and I'm very impressed with the progress. So far I've received great care here and would recommend this spot for orthodontic work!

One of the hardest things to find in a Doctor in my opinion. He is extremely accommodating in many different ways.

He went out of his way to find a time for me to come in, I felt as safe as I feel in my home. They are always, ALWAYS extremely clean. The staff is always friendly and smiling!
