Jasmin Villarreal

Amazing Staff in general are very welcoming and make you feel comfortable. Dr.Ryan is excellent on explaining what services will be rendered at every appointment. Easy financing they have payment plan in case your insurance doesn’t cover for services. At the end when braces are removed you are given a certificate to take your child to a photographer for a PICTURE PERFECT SMILE 😁. P.S they have free ice cream, a theater & a collection of fossils.

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the sweet woman who put braces on my daughter today. From the moment we walked in, she made her feel so comfortable and cared for. Watching her treat my daughter with such patience, kindness, and professionalism truly meant the world to me. It’s a blessing to see someone love what they do and make such a difference in a child’s confidence and smile. Thank you so much Melissa, you made this such a special experience for us both.
