Rude money grubber.
I was planning to transfer from California after I moved here, and have already been in treatment for a year and 3 months. His office is over the top in kids decor (weird if you happen to not be a kid), his office staff is disorganized-throw away forms you've already filled out, and he's got about 6 signs on the wall that make reference to charging you for every little thing (not insignificant charges either). I had an irritating disagreement the very first time I walked in over them wanting to charge me $300 for records. I said no, then he didn't even want to see over a years worth of records from a previous doctor, and told me he was the only one in town who exclusively does the Damon bracket (alluding that I wouldn't find anyone else). When I went BACK for a consultation, he realized then that I have clear brackets in the front (who doesn't notice that?), and that he doesn't have replacement parts and would not order them if he broke them. THEN, told me he'd have me in braces for an additional 9 months when my previous release date was 3 months away, let alone what the additional cost would be. He was pretty rude about everything, and made no attempt to secure my business. There are other orthodontist's offices (ABC orthodontics) that will work with you, would actually like to see your other doctor's records, and will not nickel and dime you to death (on a larger scale).
