My daughter's first round of braces is already completed and she's currently on her retainer.

My wife did the original consultations for the first round of braces. She went to 3 places and Dr. Waddoups was in the middle. Pretty close to the cheapest option to be honest. I told my wife to just go with who she felt the most comfortable with. She chose Dr. Waddoups mainly because of her interaction along with the raving reviews on Facebook.

Me myself I've had to take her to numerous appointments and had to set up her future appointments. Everything has always been prompt and efficient. Im happy my wife chose Dr. Waddoups
