I guess orthodontics have come a long way in the 25+ years that I had them. How I long for the days of walking into the torture chamber and hearing the screams of pre-pubescent children as the orthodontist breaks out his/her wrench(s) and tightens the $hI+ out of my teeth. I used to love the feeling of eating only jello or pate for three days while my teeth adjust to the 5000degree turn the orthodontist seemed "necessary" and "efficient". I walked into Davis and heard people laughing?!?! Where are the pleas of mercy? Where are the whips and chains and lashing of teeth? Where are the persistent screams of the ortho ordering the subject to "open wider"? So disappointed in this place... What's the point of getting corrective dental surgery if it doesn't hurt? This is like touch football, except touching is deemed "too aggressive". I guess kids are so coddled today that their names are placed on a chalkboard welcoming them to the establishment. My ortho called me Jerry and had the teeth chart of Melissa while peering into my oral cavity. They provide iPads for entertainment and TVs as well. My entertainment was the torturous screams and yells of wimpy kids. It was always fun trying to time Guns N Roses "Mr Brownstone" with the screams of Sally and Jeff. Hey Jeff, a little faster! Kids these days are so entitled they require a cooler of Dipping Dots and a refrigerator filled with water and soda. Parents have accessibility to a Keurig machine for coffee and tea. My parents drank dirty well water and I had a tall glass of shut-the-hell-up. If you are looking for a classy place with awesome people and amenities that would make Elon Musk jealous, then by all means, come see Dr Buddy. If you long for the days of kids bleeding on the floor while flaps of gums and shards of steel are hanging out, and the X-ray machine consisted of shoving a softball in your mouth while emulating a perfect smile, you better go somewhere else. read more

Great place to go for all family members of all ages. Super friendly staff! They have great prices and offer payment plans for those who need to set that up. They offer Invisalign, clear, or traditional metal braces. When you leave after a visit you get to pick out dippin dots which makes my kids day. Give them a try, I'm glad I did! read more

Wonderful staff and services. My girls are very happy with the experience of wearing braces. Dr Hardin is so kind and great with kids.
