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.
