Dr. Waddoups is the absolute best! You can tell he really cares about his patients. He takes his time, knows our names, and has a talent in knowing how to handle each of our cases. He has treated all four of my kids and is currently working on my husband’s mouth giving everyone beautiful smiles! Highly recommend.
My daughter had a few other consultations but we knew the minute we spoke to the orthodontic and how comfortable he made our daughter feel. This was the place for her to start her braces chapter. Our daughter is on the spectrum and its been a challenge to start this process and we have been waiting to make sure she was ready and comfortable. She left happy and excited to come back. Thank you Dr. Waddoups and staff! Looking forward to our upcoming visits!

I highly recommend Waddoups Orthodontics! Dr. Waddoups was very helpful and kind throughout the whole process and made me feel absolutely confident that I would love my results so I never felt concerned about anything. The front desk made scheduling easy and was accommodating to my busy schedule. There’s also plenty of easy parking in this plaza which makes things a whole lot easier. I absolutely love my smile!

We have been patients for Dr. Waddoups for years now and he has never disappointed! I’m amazed at his knowledge, professionalism, and genuine love and concern for my kids’ results! I have multiple children that go to him, and my oldest just got her braces off and the results are phenomenal. She looks great, but even more importantly she feels like she looks great. Seeing the way she looks at herself in the mirror makes any amount of money I paid for those braces worth every penny. Highly, highly recommend Waddoups.
