I had an appt with another local orthodontist and i was told I had to have regular braces with brackets and wires and the cost was a few thousand more that what I was expecting. I was not too keen on the idea of brackets OR the price but I thought, it is what it is... A week later at my hygiene appt my hygienist asked if I had gotten a second opinion and I told her no I hadn't. She suggested I go see Dr Pepper and at least see what she had to say. I AM SO HAPPY I DID!! Dr. Christina and her staff are ALWAYS kind, courteous and happy! Dr. Christina told me I was absolutely a candidate for Invisalign and after her exam I was pleasantly surprised with my treatment plan as well as the price! I started my treatment Nov of 2019 and due to Covid it lasted a little longer than expected. I just got my Invisalign off and I am EXTATIC with my results! I can not say enough good things about Dr Christina and her staff!! PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED :) Debra T. Port Charlotte, FL

He loves the waiting room toys(wishes we could sit there longer!), the fun raffles, and tshirt they gave him. I am grateful for the fact that they are so knowledgeable and take the time to explain everything to both of us, answering any and all questions and making sure even an 8 year old understands his treatment plan and what he needs to do. If my daughter ends up needing braces, I won't even look anywhere else. Seriously, I couldn't ask for more from this office. They're making this whole process more pleasant than I thought possible. 5 stars

They…read moresaid my son (8 years old) needed all type of dental work (over $5,000) worth to include4 sliver crowns and other stuff. I should have taken him and had a second opinion by a non pediatric dentistry office before I scheduled his dental work. I did half of the stuff then decided to take him to our family dental office to get a second option on the additional stuff they wanted to do. Our family dentist said what they wanted to do was absolutely crazy why would you crown a baby teeth that are about to come out just do a filling or pull them. (We already had two of the teeth crowned at the pediatric office) those crowned teeth fell out less than 3 months later. On top of that I guess our insurance did not cover $161.20 of the bill they billed to my dental insurance. I travel a lot for work and didn't see the bill come in and they sent it to collection and added additional $100 on top of the balance. Talk about being crooked. Proceed with caution

I was told that the dentist said, "sure, he'd allow that; He would just leave your braces on another six months" I was floored! I sarcastically asked if I paid early, would he take them off earlier? The office rep then went on to say how people don't pay after their braces are off, etc. . I mentioned the doubled up front down pmt. I was going to give and my reason for the ask...and I also expressed my feeling apprehensive to getting into a 15mo commitment with someone who clearly doesn't trust me to the point of either, a) slowing down HIS recommended treatment plan to meet my payment contract length or, b) just keeping my braces on after they are no longer needed like a boot on my tire until my parking tickets are paid! Thanks, but no thanks! I wanted my teeth/health to be my Drs number one priority. I Went with Dr Pepper, who was more expensive and further away in port charlotte (I live in punta gorda) but was so much more accommodating, communicative, went in to further depth of my treatment, seemed to really listen and care about my teeth and health concerns, and both she and her staff were so kind in general as well as seemed to have more modern techniques and equipment then whiteside; Oh, and is stretching my pmt out no problem at all, which I'm sure will be paid way before my braces are off, but so nice to know they aren't afraid of me being a deadbeat patient.
