My previous review was for 1 star and I am changing it to 3 because he sent me a personal apology…read morefor my experience. Below is my original review. I guess everyone can have bad days or weeks. I did enjoy going to his office when I was younger and actually had braces. I had 3 sets of braces from Dr.Whitehead. I always wore my retainer but he had put them on me wayyy too young so my teeth weren't done moving even after they were taken off. I needed to get my permanent retainer fixed once in college and went to a local orthodontist who fixed it for free even though I wasn't his patient. Recently I went back to WO to have it fixed again and he was the most callous rude person I have encountered in a while. Did not speak to me even though my parents put thousands of dollars into my smile at his direction, started sanding the cement from the back of my teeth very carelessly to the extent I started crying and he didn't say a word to me. Then he charged me $150 and the cement is too thick on one side. Not to mention I am still experiencing severe sensitivity since my visit. I am so disappointed in him and this office

The guards they gave me caused extreme pain because they clearly either don't listen or don't know what they are doing. Susan the office manager tells me she sympathizes but it's not their problem. Now I have spent 1500 dollars trying to alleviate the pain and discomfort they caused. My wife had braces there as well and he was going to take them off prior to a space being closed up. Mr whitehead and his staff have little care about their patients clearly. Go to Dr Boyd and get treated better but stay clear of this office. I don't ever wrote reviews but after my dealing with this office I was inspired too.

My teeth are ruined. I dare not even smile anymore because that how bad it's gotten because of their neglect. The receptionists are rude and don't expect an appointment because they will cancel it less than 24hrs before hand because the orthodontist "wants to leave early". No other orthodontist wants to remove their mess of metal from my teeth either because of "liability issues" Everyone who works here belongs in pit of cow dung. They're all so unprofessional and they don't give a damn about messing up your schedule or teeth.
