The team was 15 minutes late to start my daughter's appointment and the orthodontist didn't provide us with any information about next steps.

The hygienist that has been working with my son has shown exemplary skill in her job. She explains everything to him in kid-friendly language, step by step, and makes sure he is comfortable during this new orthodontic experience. She should be commended.

The orthodontist has no bedside manners.

Dr You is an awesome provider but every appointment I have they seem to always be running behind and my previous one was super behind. My appointment was at 340p and didn't see Dr You until 415-420ish. I would hope they work on their time management. But overall this practice is a great and Dr You is super knowledgeable, calm, and welcoming.

Great service as always! Dr. You and his team consistently demonstrate professionalism. The front desk ladies are friendly. But making the next appointment in a timely manner is somehow challenging.
