The ortho took their time recommending and discussing a course of treatment, explained the timeline and possible alternatives and took a "wait and see" approach before initiating a procedure to see if one tooth would self-correct. It did, sparing us the unpleasantness of a more invasive and costly option. When one of the kids accidentally popped off a bracket, they were able to schedule us within a few days to reattach it. We've been satisfied so far and visited a couple of different practices before settling on this one.

The team is very organized and your wait time is low (if at all). The office is updated inside, very clean and everyone is super friendly. This'll be my second round of orthodontics. First time, I was 16 and I wore braces. I never finished my treatment due to economic hardship. Well, I'm older and now it's my coins so, I'm coming here to finish the job. I'm very particular about who is chosen for both my medical & dental teams. I must have the best of the best with top knotch bedside manner. I was recommended to come here by my dental hygienist, Lisa Wilson of U of MD. She swears by him, I swear by her so if trust anything she says. She never had steered me wrong. I was warmly welcomed over the phone and scheduling my consult was easy. My consult appointment was so informative. I was given pictures, he gave me an honest account of what it would take, how much it would cost and the final result. I was told that I'd need extractions (which I expected) and I knew to whom I turn. This time, a recommendation by my dentist, Dr. Douglas Barnes. I previously had gone to Dr. Richard Nessif, oral surgeon for my wisdom teeth extractions and I decided to choose him again. The office is really good and will work in tandem with your oral surgeon. I'm a business professional so, it's difficult for me to be without my Invisalign trays as my extractions would be visible when I spoke. I feared embarrassment and both Dr. Nessif & Dr. Maskeroni came up with a plan of action so that I could get my trays available immediately following extractions. I was recently scanned and Invisalign will virtually remove the tooth from the image and create trays that will fit me post extraction instead of getting scanned and wait 2-3 weeks after extraction. Although I haven't been coming here long and I don't get my trays for a few weeks, I will still say that from what I've seen thus far, I'm very much impressed. I feel like VIP when I go. If in the area, and you have a need for orthodontia, be it as an adult or for your youngster, consider here.

She met regularly with other doctors on a team of dentists & orthodontists to discuss the different options that could be done for her, besides oral surgery to her jaw. We opted not for the surgery. It took a few years of artistic precision oral construction but in the end, it was very, very successful and we were all very pleased! After that, I was comfortable knowing someday she would do my minor teeth straightening-- and as an adult and a mom, I would not have anyone else work on my teeth for orthodontics. By far, she is one of a kind and it's obvious that she loves what she does as an orthodontist. Her patients are happy as well as the staff- and her mom works the desk also. That is a nice touch!

This was a great experience, far better than any other experience with a dentist that I've had before. The staff is friendly and gentle. Accommodating in every way. Dr. Pantos is really nice, gentle and relaxed, which makes me as a patient feel very calm. He seems knowledgeable and good at what he does, and his confidence shows. He is not pushy and took my concerns into consideration always. Although my braces took longer than expected to come off, this is expected and I was never charged more than what the initial cost quote was, and in the end my teeth looked great. I was diligent with wearing my retainers, and my teeth haven't moved back after two years of no longer wearing my retainers. When I had braces, sometimes I would eat the wrong thing and break a bracket, but I was always able to come in immediately to get it fixed and was never judged or scolded. Great experience! Great orthodontist, and I think the cost was reasonable and they were flexible with insurance.
