Update to original review posted on April 10, 2025 re: complimentary consultation…read more Previously, a review was left expressing concerns about a consultation fee. The office, particularly Dr. Tyska addressed the situation. Consultations are complimentary, and the fee was promptly refunded. Dr. Tyska and his assistant Kristen showed genuine concern and listened to feedback, demonstrating a commitment to patient care. The professionalism and dedication to resolving the issue were impressive. My daughter will soon be getting here braces with Dr. Tyska. This recent experience shows me that patient satisfaction is prioritized and that the office is committed to resolving issues.

So disappointed with this business. Buyer beware when it comes to "complimentary" consultation for…read moreorthodontics. The 2 stars is because we once had a great experience 5 years ago. But recently, I had such an unfortunate interchange with their office manager and staff. I called to book an appointment for my daughter to get a quote on another round of braces (she never wore her retainers and teeth shifted back). The front desk told me there would be a fee for return clients but not for new clients. That didn't make sense to me so I said no thank you. I already received a complimentary consultation elsewhere with a quote. And they did NOT charge me. The front desk told me she would have someone call me back. Sure. I got a call back and told the same thing. Ok. Then I proceeded to cancel my appointment. The office (wish I remembered her name), said she would ask the doctors and call me back (again). Days later I received a call and told there would be no fee. Great. My husband brought my daughter yesterday and sure enough, I am charged $85.00. Called and spoke to the office manager. She handled it very poorly, and kept explaining that they did a lot of "extra's" and that the $85 was actually a great deal. The thing is, I didn't ask for any extra's. I just wanted to know if I would be paying the same price for another round of braces and to see if I could get some kind of discount as a returning patient. This manager made a point to say that there was no record of my previous conservations and therefore, she would not do anything. I have worked for years in private practice - Manhattan - selling elective medical cosmetic procedures. I understand how this works. It is not about the money but about the practice keeping their word and honoring their commitment to the patient. I spoke to them 3x before our actual appointment and they still charged me. I am so disappointed with how they now run their business. Very sad indeed.

I would recommend to any adult or family for braces.

We are the lucky winners of children who need braces! I blame my husband. I never needed braces…read more :-P But I digress. Our daughter, age 13, was recommended to see an orthodontist for a consultation by her dentist. It was pretty clear she was going to need braces. We looked around at our options, and settled on a consultation with Owl based on proximity and patient reviews. After our consultation, we went with Owl without question. We've been a patient of Owl for many months, over six months now, I believe. We're fans of Owl for several reasons: ** The initial consultation was very helpful in understanding both our daughter's treatment plan, and payment options. ** Owl was very flexible with payments. We asked if we could pay very low monthly installments until I could apply for my health insurance HSA next year to pay off the bulk of the balance. They were very flexible and agreeable to this arrangement. ** I am forgetful with healthcare appointments. Owl does a great job with reminders when I need them. ** We primarily go to Owl on Hopkins, but if scheduling is an issue, you can go in for adjustments at any Owl location that has an opening. ** Our daughter has felt comfortable with the treatments, even now when she has to go in alone during pandemic times; she is very shy, so this is saying a lot to how welcoming and warm the orthodontia staff is here. Once we pay off and finish treatments for our daughter, our son will be on deck. We'll continue to use Owl for him when we get to that point, since we've had a stellar experience with both the orthodontia staff and office staff at Owl. Thank you, Owl, for helping our daughter smile big and bright, and next, our son! :-D
