If I could give Dr. Howard Henry and his staff 10 stars, I absolutely would. I've been a patient of…read moretheirs for years. To begin with, they treat you like family. Dr. Henry himself is one of the kindest people I've met, and the same goes for his staff. They treat all of their patients like family, always remembering milestones in your life, and go the extra mile to put you at ease.
I had braces as an adolescent, and was not compliant with my retainers after my initial treatment. I was also a chronic mouth breather which caused changes to my jaw alignment. Subsequently an adult, I developed a malocclusion which was causing me atrocious TMJ, in addition to an asymmetry in my facial structure from jaw movement. I could have needed surgery, but fortunately Dr. Henry knew how to treat my case non-surgically.
Dr. Henry is the best of the best - and why is that? It's not only because of his incredible bedside manner. He goes above and beyond to master cutting edge treatment plans. Dr. Henry heavily invests his time and energy extensively in training, all around the world, staying up to date with the most sophisticated treatment modalities. I have met very few professionals as committed to their craft as Dr. Henry is, and this is very apparent in his outcomes.
When Dr. Henry suggested lingual braces for my case, I was pleasantly surprised, because this is not something that many orthodontists offer. This is a cutting edge treatment, especially for the significant amount of movement required for my malocclusion. However, Dr. Henry had done these on many, many adult patients, and his results were superb. We had a lengthy initial consultation where he showed me outcomes of cases that, as a doctor, I was blown away by. It was absolutely impressive that he was able to treat these cases so beautifully with a non-surgical approach. Many of his patients would have needed surgery if they had not been saved by Dr. Henry's novel approaches.
Before my treatment, I had intense TMJ pain that was bothersome, to say the least, to deal with. He put me at ease during my entire treatment. I am an out of town patient from Los Angeles, and chose to make the trip for each appointment because I did not want to settle for anyone but the best orthodontist. My treatment has been completed, and my jaw is at ease, I no longer have TMJ, and my facial shape has tremendously improved. Not only has this improved my face from an aesthetic standpoint, but has also set me up for better breathing, a more open airway, better posture, and ultimately better health.
I am so lucky to have had Dr. Howard Henry as an orthodontist, and to have been treated like family by him and his staff. They always went the extra mile to accommodate my schedule, and made me feel so special each time I was in the office. Choose Dr. Henry as your orthodontist if you want exceptional, sophisticated care from someone who goes the extra mile to bring you the best treatment modalities, all while making you feel safe, comfortable, and taken care of.
