From the start, we felt confident that Dr. Schaefer was recommending only what she truly needed. The dental assistants are wonderful.

I value the fact that they send reminder texts, they have always been easy and quick to accommodate if I ever had to reschedule. They are very fast, which can be a good thing, or can be bad (if they miss something). To be clear and transparent, I have finally finished my programs and have my braces off, praise the Lord. I recently went back because of the permanent, inside wires became loose and had to have it reglued. I was upset that they were not transparent with their pricing. I was told a certain price over the phone and they said I could decide whether to move forward with the process or not, but when they took me in and the Orthodontist had already reviewed my mouth and the broken piece, at that point, I was charged for the consultation and could not go back. I wish I had known that it would be $240 to repair, I would have checked somewhere else first.

I had a great experience at the beginning and throughout most of my treatment. I started treatment…read morein February 2025 and finished in November 2025. I had previously had braces with Dr. Toolson in 2015, so this time I only wanted a small tweak to my top teeth, specifically one tooth that had shifted. As an adult who has already gone through braces, I understand how important it is to wear my retainer, and I have been wearing it consistently. At my final appointment, they confirmed that my retainer fit properly before I left. Fast forward to now, and I noticed that the same tooth I originally wanted corrected has shifted quite a bit. I went back in for an appointment, and Dr. Phillips asked if my retainer had always fit the way it currently does. I told him yes. He then told me that the retainer does not fit properly on that tooth and that fixing it would require Invisalign for one month at $450, possibly two months for double the cost. After thinking about it, I called the office because I do not feel I should have to pay out of pocket to fix something that should have been addressed when my treatment ended especially since they confirmed the retainer fit before I left. Unfortunately, Dr. Phillips did not see it that way. I paid $3,750 for my top braces and retainer, and now I am left wearing a retainer that is not even correcting the tooth I originally went in to fix. That has been very disappointing.

I was a loyal patient of Dr. James Snow for over 20 years. During that time, I always found him to…read morebe pleasant and personable, which is why writing this review is so disappointing. Unfortunately, my recent experience has completely changed my opinion of his practice. The temporary tooth (flipper) made for tooth #22 was poorly made, uncomfortable, and did not fit correctly. Rather than standing behind the work and making it right, Dr. Snow failed to take responsibility for correcting the problem. After more than two decades as his patient, I expected much better. What concerns me even more is the billing practices in his office. His office manager, who also handles insurance matters, provided me with an estimate that I believed was excessive. Instead of accepting it, I contacted my insurance company directly. To my surprise, my insurance carrier confirmed that my actual financial responsibility was approximately half of what I had been quoted by the office. After verifying the information directly with my insurance company, I was left with the conclusion that I had been quoted an amount that was far higher than what I actually owed. In my opinion, this reflected dishonest billing practices. Trust is essential in any healthcare relationship, and once I realized I was being asked to pay nearly twice my actual responsibility, that trust was completely destroyed. After more than 20 years as a loyal patient, I never expected to leave feeling that I had to question both the quality of the dental work and the integrity of the billing process. It is especially disappointing that Dr. Snow did not step in to address either issue. Whether he was aware of the billing practices or chose not to intervene, the responsibility ultimately rests with the practice he owns. I can no longer recommend Dr. James Snow's office. My experience with the poor-quality dental work, the lack of accountability, and what I believe to be dishonest billing practices has permanently ended a relationship that lasted more than two decades.

Sedation was suggested and I was super nervous but decided it was the best route. The staff here including the Dr have been so extremely kind and patient with me. I have never had a dentist be so sympathetic with me and my concerns and her staff as well. Beyond that the work is always done very well and she's always happy to give me all my options and go the least invasive route when possible. Our experience here is always so wonderful and I highly recommend them because our sweet babies deserve the best. Also I want to leave a side note, in the beginning of all this we were offered the SDF route (it turns the cavity black) I had reservations and wanted to try some holistic options. If I could go back I would have done the SDF then and it would have kept us from having to do all this additional work. So if that's something being recommended I highly suggest taking that route.
