I just recently had my braces put on and I am so happy with my choice of orthodontics. Dr. Horsey and the dental technicians/assistants are so incredibly kind and will answer any questions... to make you feel as comfortable as possible. I also enjoyed the amount of education they gave me when I first had them put on so I know how to take care of them and what foods not to eat. If you are deciding which orthodontist to go to whether it is for you as an adult or your kids, this is the perfect place.read more

Truly an A+ experience. Don’t think twice about choosing this provider and his team. My visit today was great!The team and practice displays all of the excellent qualities you would... expect from an orthodontist practice and visit, including:1. The location was immaculate, and I felt comfortable in the environment. Fantastic-looking waiting area with a snack bar.2. It is obvious the team, including Dr. Horsey, is very passionate about what they do. They were confident in their delivery, as expected from a well-trained staff of experts.3. The technology used during my visit appeared to be up-to-date, and the team was very knowledgeable about the technology present.4. Each step of the process was explained, and both Dr. Horsey and his staff ensured that I understood the overall process and educated me along the way.Overall, the team set clear expectations of what I should expect as we navigated through the visit and it’s processes. This stood out to me as it is often not the norm when visiting a healthcare provider.read more
