We had a bad experience with the orthodontists recommended by our primary dentist. We looked around…read moreand finally found an office who takes our insurance and existing records. Dr. White's office scheduled the evaluation about a month out, not terrible. Dr. White's office sent online portal access within days, while none were provided by the other ortho. Dr. White himself was a very pleasant person, positive, friendly, and dealt well with my 2 boys. The other ortho was not friendly, kind, or pleasant. It was his way or no way. Dr. White dis not want to remove any impacted teeth, because they were too close to nerves and other teeth, and would likely cause permanent nerve damage. He explained that the remaining baby tooth was fused to the bone and would be torture to remove, because they would have to remove bone as well. The other ortho wanted to remove the baby tooth, remove the impacted adult tooth that should be where the baby tooth is, and then remove another tooth on top to line up the teeth. Dr. White actually cared about my sons over all health, not just getting braces on, teeth lined up, and a paycheck. Dr. White's office is by far superior, especially Dr. White himself. Taking my 3rd son there this fall.

This is a tightly-run ship, for filing many youth through the ritual of "teenage braces."…read more The first visit is "free." You fill out paperwork in-office, since although they have a web site, they do not provide the ability to print and complete ahead of time. So, they could get with the times a bit more, with that, but their forms aren't too lengthy, so it only took about 5 minutes in the waiting room. They then take you back, put your kiddo in a chair, and do a cursory look, to determine if your child needs braces, and what approach they would take. But really, there is enough of a glance to see how severe or moderate the issues are, and Dr. Small knows what he's doing, so not a huge ordeal. At the end, they will say, "about (fill in the blank) years... about (fill in the blank) dollars." Then you can decide if you will come back, pay an up-front cash fee (in our case about $200), and get X-rays and molds made. A very nice feature is that they will take the dollar amount your insurance doesn't cover, and break that cost over the course of months of treatment, as in-house financing. So, the pain of $5000, less insurance, can be spread over approximately 2 years. They file "most insurance," so you likely won't have an issue.

We originally started our orthodontic treatment with Dr. Garlitz, who we were told by several…read moredentists that he was the best in the county. During the time of my daughters treatment process, Dr.Garlitz brought in Dr. Ben Campbell. Dr. Campbell took over my daughters care as Dr.Garlitz was retiring, and the transition has been completely smooth. Dr. Campbell, without fail, has come out to speak to me at each and every appointment to discuss my daughters progress and the next steps. He has gone above and beyond what I would have expected in service, and at the end of her treatment, he surprised her by taking off her braces right on the spot so that she could have a beautiful smile for her upcoming camp that she was so excited about! Needless to say my daughter was in tears. Now we get to start another child, and I have total faith that he will continue to give this specific attention to detail that will result in yet another beautiful smile in our family!

I am giving this place a 1 star only because that is the lowest score possible on this review! My…read moreson in law was referred to this office for a consultation on 2 root canals. After the consult he was scheduled for his first root canal. He was given a prescription to take prior to the appt. He took it, arrived to be seen, numbed in the chair ready to go when the "doctor" came in and told him his tooth was to far gone. He paid almost $200 for nothing! He was scheduled to come back 2 weeks later for a root canal on the second tooth. Again the same thing happened. Only he was charged $285!!! AGAIN for NOTHING! This is a hard working young man who support his family by actually doing manual labor. Something that few boys do this day and time. We are outraged that he has been taken advantage of 2 times by this same doctor! DON'T waste your money here!

I asked on my first appointment if this included all the work that I needed, and she said yes.

Here is my review…read more I am a 100% disabled veteran who was sent to PDA from the VA to get my teeth fixed and things started out amazingly; felt comfortable, this is important as my disability is related to healthcare and feeling ignored due to a botched surgery and failed aftercare! PDA sent me to the Wilkesboro PDA office for a second opinion; I went as I wanted to make sure i was getting the right treatment and a second opinion made sense. I arrived about 20 minutes early to my appointment and let them know im im early and they said to wait in waiting room and ill be called at my appointment time. Appointment time came i physically watched people come in and get taken back for appointments AFTER MINE. One guy was called back named Todd we even asked "Which one" ugh it was the other one! i waited approx 20 minutes after my appointment time (total of about 40 - 45 minutes total, yes early was my part) but not being notified or updated and left alone to my own devices and feeling ignored by healthcare.....YET AGAIN....triggered my PTSD so I left and told them ill reschedule when they actually had availability. I left and called the troutman office and scheduling and told them what happened and said NEVER EVER send me to that office again and let me know next steps. NOTHING....RADIO SILENCE.....called VA they calle dthe troutman office who spoke to the office manager who sai dit was all my fault and had the audacity to have the wilkesboro office call me.....HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!
