I've needed orthodontia my entire life, however it wasn't until I was in my mid-twenties that I…read morestarted actively seeking treatment. Over the last couple of years I have had four different ortho consultations, but nothing ever felt like a great fit, the right timing, or whatever have you. Having train tracks in my mouth for what I assumed was going to be a long time was not something I wanted to be hasty with; I wanted every part of it to feel like a good idea with zero doubt whatsoever. When I came to Dr. Sturdivant's office, I was instantly comfortable with everything about it. It was, by far, the most thorough initial consultation I had received. Even with his many years of experience, I liked that he admitted he was going to get a second opinion from his partner regarding his recommended treatment options. A lifetime of brushing my teeth too hard had wreaked havoc on my gumline, so I also had to go a periodontist to get their blessing before he would proceed. Further, there was no sales pitch, there was no manufactured urgency, and he really took his time checking out my mouth. His estimated cost came in the highest of all four quotes, but Damon braces are more expensive everywhere, and this was the first time an orthodontist had offered them with any real knowledge to back up the recommendation. I only have my top row up, but will have my next appointment in January to get the bottom row installed, and I'm excited! I'm ready to be done with shark mouth! This office has my trust 100%. All of the staff are incredibly nice every step of the way - front desk, financing, hygiene and the doc, they're really pleasant people and I'll recommend them to anyone all day long.

I couldn't believe when they said yes we will see you and do everything we can to make you comfortable. PEOPLE.. I am not even their patient! When I arrived I was frazzled and not familiar with the area and they were so relaxed and comforting and kind. They got me in right away the dentist was so nice and inspected the issue and got it fixed. I went to pull out my wallet and they said, no that's ok everything is good. I about fell out of my chair. No one in California would ever treat a patient this way in all my experience of living in Southern California. I am blown away when they say Iowa nice they're really is something to it.

They are unfailingly polite, prompty, and helpful. They took the time to help me puzzle out my dental insurance and figure out what was covered and how much and helped me come up with a treatment plan. Dr. Davidson is the perfect amount of funny and sarcastic in a way that takes your mind off the fact that someone is using power tools in your mouth and he has a real knack for pacing the procedure to give you little breaks to swallow, wiggle your jaw, and close your mouth right when you need them. All in all a fantastic experience-I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

A few years ago, I was about to start chemo treatments and I was able to call and talk to one of the dentists about how this would impact my mouth and teeth and any recommendations for oral care. They were great about answering all my questions as well as providing information I didn't think about asking about. This must be a wonderful place to work because they have relatively low turnover. Today I am waiting to have a crown replaced and am impressed how technology has changed and that this practice is able to make and place the permanent tooth same day.

I'm hoping my 3 star rating will get the attention of the owners to correct processes followed by the billing office. The problem I encountered was that I paid online through their website. I received a late notice and disregarded it because I knew the payment was made by verifying it online. I then received a typed written letter on my non payment. Again I verified my payment was made in June. I even called my HSA and they verified my payment was made. I called the Billing office and explained the situation. She said she saw that a payment had been made and posted the payment to my account. She also said she would waive the late fee. I asked why I was receiving late notices, if I had made a mistake on my end. I wasn't trying to be a "Karen" but eventually understood it was an error by the Billing department. I'm probably a little old school, but if it was me, I would have apologized and assured the client it has been fixed. The owners probably need to look at a new online system that can accept payments and automatically apply them to an account instead of relying on a person to manually update an account. Humans can make mistakes, but as a client it was confusing, made me feel terrible by receiving overdue statements and wasted my time in fixing an error created by another person.

We got charged almost $600 for a consult and they didn't do much other than tell my husband the work that needed done but they wouldn't do it without us paying for it all (thousands of dollars) out of pocket. (wisdom teeth removal and braces). We were even referred here by our dentist that they were supposedly a "Tricare friendly provider" We tried to explain MULTIPLE times that TriCare will cover orthodontic work if it is medically necessary (as it is in my husband's case), but Dr. Hull and his nurse got super rude with us and told us to pay out of pocket and then we could file on our own. That's not how military insurance works! We need the pre-authorization with the referral first. It even lists this on TriCare's website and lists that if orthodontics is medically necessary, not just cosmetic it is covered. All we needed was a simple letter that stated what needed done and why sent to Tricare and they would get paid directly from insurance. We will be getting his records and going elsewhere! I am appalled at how they treat our men and women in uniform and how rude the nurse and Doctor Hull was! When we requested the records they stated they would be sent digitally to our next orthodontist. I hope this actually happens based on prior contacts.... especially for the amount we had to pay for the consult.
