Our dentist recommended Collins…read moreOrthodontics and another larger, corporate office to help correct my daughter's spacing and overbite. We first had a consultation at a different office, but honestly, I didn't feel comfortable establishing care there. The staff was kind, but the appointment felt rushed, and we only met with the orthodontist for about five minutes. So, I decided to call Collins Orthodontics for a second opinion, and I'm really glad I did! Brittnee has been incredibly helpful and communicative from the very first day. When we met with Dr. Collins, we immediately felt at ease and trusted his recommendations for our daughter. He's so great with kids! My daughter has been finger-sucking since she was 3 months old, and now, at six, she has completely stopped after her FIRST appointment with Dr. Collins. It was clear she was listening and felt comfortable trusting his advice to help her get a beautiful smile. We started with her expander for a couple of months, and now she's had braces for two weeks -- and she's doing wonderfully! I would wholeheartedly recommend Collins Orthodontics to anyone looking for excellent orthodontic care for themselves or their children.

I promised myself I would write this review before the end of the year, so here it is!…read more I had a very poor, but formative, experience at Avery Orthodontics. My case was transferred in 2022, but I wanted to complete treatment with another orthodontist and take a mental break before writing this. 1. The sales/mock-up presentation that led me to sign the contract was very different from the treatment that was actually carried out (see photos). I noticed this immediately in the "final" mockup and brought it up. 2. I was told not to worry - that the mock-up "wouldn't look like that in real life." Over time, however, I began to see that it was certainly trending in that direction. And that's all fine. The issue is that it took an excessive amount of effort to get Dr. Barnett to truly listen to and engage with my feedback. At times, I felt dismissed or made to feel unreasonable for raising concerns about my own teeth. I eventually had to learn orthodontic terminology to clearly communicate what I was seeing, and at some point he finally started taking me seriously. Only after a very long, emotionally taxing process and multiple course corrections did things begin to improve. During treatment, I experienced a chipped tooth, went into braces, and incurred significant travel costs flying back to Austin after relocating to Los Angeles. My projected treatment time was 8 months; it ultimately took two-ish years under Dr. Barnett. Toward the end, I decided to transfer my case to another orthodontist. I was happier with the overall direction, communication, and results. The treatment I received at the new orthodontist made the difference in potential care very clear. That said, there was lasting damage. My front teeth now have enamel wear that did not exist prior to treatment, and I recently required a root canal on one of my front teeth under endodontic care (due to orthodontic stress, not hygiene issues). My teeth and enamel were healthy before this process began. This experience was genuinely traumatic, though it also taught me important lessons about self-advocacy as a person and as a patient. Patients often expect doctors to be technical experts but also communicative and attentive. IMPORTANT- The care team and staff were excellent - kind, organized, and professional. They consistently treated me like a human being and were the reason I stayed as long as I did. I see that Dr. Barnett has many positive reviews, and I don't doubt that many patients have had good experiences - especially children whose primary goal is bite correction. However, if you are an adult patient with aesthetic concerns, I would personally recommend an orthodontist who explicitly integrates aesthetic concerns into treatment planning and communication. I will edit later with photos.

I have never left a review before, but I feel compelled to share my experience…read more I would like to begin with the positives. The assistants in the office are very kind, welcoming, and eager to help. They listened carefully to my concerns and even remembered my name after just one visit. Their professionalism and kindness did not go unnoticed. Unfortunately, my experience with Dr. Barnett was the complete opposite. I initially went in for a removable bottom retainer after my permanent one (which I had for over 25 years) fell off. The assistant created a removable retainer using a scanner, but it never fit properly. I had to return at least three times for adjustments. Each time it was modified, but it continued to fit incorrectly. The retainer was cutting my tongue and the inside of my cheeks and, even more concerning, it began causing my front teeth to shift apart -- creating a gap that I have never had before in my life. On my third visit, Dr. Barnett stated that he did not want me to pay for something that did not work and said he would offer Invisalign instead, comped due to the failed retainer. I made it very clear multiple times that I did not want to pay for another retainer since I had already paid for the first one. He assured me I would not be charged. His assistant was present during this conversation, and when I asked her to confirm what I heard, she stated that she understood the same -- that I would not be charged for Invisalign because the original retainer had failed. At my next appointment, Dr. Barnett attempted to modify the retainer again, further cutting and shaving it down to the point that it had completely lost its integrity. When I calmly mentioned our previous conversation about not being charged for Invisalign, he became visibly upset, stood up, and walked out of the room without saying a word. When he returned, I asked him why he seemed upset. He responded that "everyone expects to get this free." I apologized and assured him I was not trying to offend him -- I was simply referencing what he had previously told me. I chose not to involve his assistant in that moment because I did not want to put her in an uncomfortable position. I left that appointment feeling extremely uncomfortable and never returned. I ultimately had to seek care from another orthodontist and spend $1,000 to correct the gap that developed after wearing the retainer made in his office. Additionally, despite seeing me multiple times, Dr. Barnett never remembered my name and often addressed me incorrectly. While that alone is minor, combined with the overall experience, it reflected a lack of attentiveness and professionalism. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this orthodontist due to concerns regarding communication, professionalism, and integrity.

He still screamed but the dentist and assistant were fast and efficient. Since it was his first appointment, they just brushed and examined his teeth and went over any concerns. I also appreciated the lack of judgment or inquiry regarding my desire to decline the fluoride treatment. They just said "no problem" and moved on. Scheduling is via phone (I do prefer online but it's okay). They still made the process fairly simple. They also were understanding when I had to initially cancel at the last minute due to my son running a fever. They were really transparent and communicative regarding costs. They contacted me in advance to give me the exact co-pay amount. That's awesome and honestly rare. Everyone is super nice here. Dentist, dental assistant, front desk staff. Friendly and easy to talk to. They even gave me a little pot with daisy seeds because it was Mother's Day weekend. So sweet. There's also a cute play area for kids in front of reception. No issue finding parking close to the front door.

I am over 70 years old and wanted to do something about my crooked teeth. But, I kept thinking,…read moremaybe I'm too old to have a nice smile. My wonderful general dentist, Dr. Shipra Gupta at Lakeline Family Dental suggested I have a consultation with Dr. Akash Pandya, (Doc Ak) at SmileOn. The first visit was very comprehensive and various treatment options and payment plans were presented. I was grateful that my dental insurance would cover most of the cost. I decided to get the clear Angel aligners. I was awed and a bit overwhelmed by the equipment in the office and the ability to take a few pictures and have aligners made for the year. The front office staff, the patient care coordinator, and the certified dental assistants are GREAT. You can have the best dental work but, staff makes the difference. Always encouraging and happy. And, every staff member has beautiful teeth. That, to me, was a good sign. -- Doc Ak and staff try to make the orthodontist visits a little fun by having monthly contests, raffles, and quizzes. While these activities are probably geared more toward younger patients, I must admit, I did participate in some of them. Prizes are awarded to the monthly winners and are announced in the informative monthly newsletter. Most of the activity with the aligners took place at home. I would take weekly pictures of the aligners in and out of my mouth using the Grin app and then progress to the next aligner after SmileOn review. I didn't think I would get through a years' worth of weekly aligner changes but, here I am, almost at the end of my treatment. Next step - whitening. I AM SO GLAD I MADE THE DECISION TO HAVE MY TEETH STRAIGTENED. I can't imagine a better orthodontist or practice than SmileOn. You deserve a terrific smile.

Today the braces are coming off! My "child" right now is truly getting his braces taken off, teeth…read morecleaned up, etc and THEN we are coming back later to get his retainers fitted. Then....we are done We had three options: non-removable (Bottom, I don't remember about Top) and removable in two styles: first, traditional plastic and metal; second, completely clear-basically Invisalign but for retainers. The last option MUST be removed each and every time you even drink or you may color it...the other one should be removed too, but.... My first child went with completely removable, "traditional style" retainers. That let's her clean her teeth easily-especially after having braces! Almost 6 years after getting the braces off, retainers are faithfully worn as directed-amazing-and teeth are wonderful. Today's child is getting the removable clear style-this will be new to me. We've already discussed the rules (no eating drinking etc with the retainers in!) so hopefully this style will be successful, too. We have been blessed to be with Dr Gates for two kids-from the moment you walk in, to leaving the door we always feel welcome. I'll be very thankful to end this trip (the ONLY WAY it will start again is if I or my husband get braces to redo failings from our youth!) Dr Naples was our oral surgeon, removing completely impacted teeth from both-that welcomed recommendation came from Dr Gates. I had a review but it is lost Look forward to a redo! Thank you to Round Rock Orthodontics, Dr Gates and all the wonderful staff we've seen through the years. My family has been with Dr Gates since 2006. We moved with him from the cute albeit small office off of IH35 near Summit to his existing office: beautiful and spacious but still filled with warm, friendly staff. When Child 1 started with braces, out came the worries. Dr Gates answered all my questions, on "why this? What about that?" as we moved through the process. All staff members helped this mom navigate through a different process (than the one she remembered from.....a long time ago ) and by HS, straight smiles and happy clients abounded. Child 2 had "more complicated teeth" so a spreader occurred early in elementary school....then we waited...and waited...for all adult teeth to come in and braces to get going. In late middle school we started, and things are moving fast! This time I have different questions (the practice GREW and we are interacting with a few new ppl) and once again Dr Gates and his staff are shining through. Now, insurance thinks braces should cost about $1500 or so....I'll say that 1) both of my kids cost more, and 2)Dr Gates costs more in general. But if for some reason we needed a 3rd set of braces (ack) we wouldn't go anywhere else. Our family has been with Dr Gates, his staff, his two offices (!) for over a decade--and don't plan on leaving.

All I can say is Dr. Adcox is amazing…read more After experiencing an orthodontist who negatively impacted my teeth, Dr. Adcox was able to correct the damage and restore my confidence. He is truly one of the kindest professionals I have ever met. He remembered my name after our very first visit, remembered the details of what had happened with the previous orthodontist, and consistently made me feel comfortable and reassured about the plan to fix the problem. For context, I had braces as a teenager -- five years on top and four years on the bottom. When they were removed, I had perfect teeth and was given a permanent bottom retainer that lasted over 15 years. Unfortunately, one day I bit into an apple and the permanent retainer came off. I went to another orthodontist to have a removable bottom retainer made. It never fit correctly, and despite several visits for adjustments, it was never fixed properly. Because it did not fit as it should have, my bottom teeth shifted and a gap formed between my two front teeth -- something I had never experienced before. After years of braces and having perfect teeth, this was devastating. Dr. Adcox took the time to truly listen to my concerns. He created a detailed plan to correct the gap and thoroughly explained every step of the process. I was fitted for Invisalign and finally felt hopeful about getting my smile back. He was honest and upfront about the cost, timeline, and what to expect -- no surprises, just professionalism and integrity. I will never be able to fully thank Dr. Adcox for fixing my teeth and restoring my confidence. If you are looking for an orthodontist who is kind, honest, attentive, and truly cares about his patients, Dr. Adcox is the one you want.
