You'd think so, but I just got home from meeting Dr. Ashcraft in a parking lot so that he could clip my daughter's wires. Wires tend to get pokey at the least convenient times for the Austin children, and the people at Ashcraft, including the eponymous doctor himself, always go above and beyond to make sure my kids suffer as little as possible. There aren't enough stars for this business.

I had a 10 year old permanent retainer bonded to the back of my front teeth. One of the bonds…read morebroke, so I Google-searched for a local orthodontist-- it was very nice that Dr. Carr was willing to see me as a patient, given that retainer was applied at a practice in Philadelphia. To my relief, he scheduled me within 3 days of my initial phone call. The results of the procedure were as expected/satisfactory, but I did leave the office feeling disappointed in the doctor's "bedside manor." I felt condescended throughout the entire experience. Perhaps this is an effect of having mostly child patients? Regardless, I am a 25 year old woman and did not appreciate being scolded for 1) not being able to afford this procedure prior to my visit. 2) experiencing pain/sensitivity during removal process I was also charged more than the initial price quote- the difference was small but unexplained. The next time I need an orthodontist, I plan on looking elsewhere but the quality of work done was good and they scheduled me quickly.

Years after having my braces removed, I stopped by the office to say, "Thank you for straightening things out." During the brief conversation, I told him I lived in California. He immediately told me to hold on picked up the phone and dialed. "Hello, Sweetheart, this is Dad. Mark H. He lives near you in CA. I gave him your number. You two should meet." He winked at me while she protested. In the background, I could hear her TRYING to tell him, she did NOT know me, which she wouldn't have since I grew up 50 miles away from Watseka. That did not deter him, "OK, Sweetheart, I gave him your number. Love you." Click. In the end, we met for a drink. Had a good laugh. Only Doc Martin could do that. .

But well before Dr. Rose became the main, issues were becoming difficult to handle. On top of the hour drive here for the fair prices which were well under the price gouging of my Tippecanoe country options, the mismanagement and lack of smart scheduling pushed wait times to insane delays. It is beyond me how an established setup with centuries of experience among the staff is unable to ensure appointments are easy to make and kept on time. I even popped in one time without an appointment and forced my retainer checkup into their schedule because it had become so difficult to drive two hours and wait another half hour for a five minute visit. These guys desperately need a proper system to set times and days online and reduce waits. That leads to the main problem, my feedback is ignored. I've requested an entirely plastic based retainer over five years running. I pointed out each visit with everyone how I could not wear my retainer every night due to it cutting my gums and make me bleeding by the third morning. They did not care but happily tried their pliers on the wires every year then asked if it felt better. This is why these old fashioned medical setups are going down. It is crazy enough with insurance corruptiom and corporate trash taking advantage of us to top it with basic requests being ignored while wasting hours.

I was reassured that it would be fine. After making the hour and 15 min drive and waiting 30min in the lobby my son was finally called back when I was told I would have to wait in the lobby with my baby. I explained I called ahead of time to make sure it was fine then Kristen (the manager) had a snippy attitude and told me that no one told me this and I can't bring her back with me. My son had a lot of anxiety about the appointment (first time here) and was scared and did not want to go alone. Waste of time since I ended up just canceling and leaving. absolutely rude office staff and very unprofessional. Listen to the other reviews and save yourself by going somewhere else.

So it now 12:20 and we get called in to the back We continue to wait finally 12:35 the lady comes over to look at one of my kids mouth and recommend that he get X-rays so he goes in the back while I stay with my daughter and than when she looks at my daughter mouth she also recommended that she get X-rays too so we waited my son come back The dental assistants hat was helping my daughter was pregnant so I understood she could do the X-rays. One of the other assistant was walking around asking everyone else to do the X-rays idk why she couldn't.
