All of the employees were extremely nice, the facility is clean and is well-maintained. They helped me understand what was going on and what to expect during my son’s treatment. My son has been very happy and feels very comfortable at Dexter Orthodontics. Love it here!

It is like family, they treat you as if they see you daily. They are staff that are wholesome, compassionate and professional. They make you feel so comfortable and right at home, you forget you are at the orthodontics..... for a moment :) We are lucky to have a team like them. Not just really good people, but also really good at what they do.

I can not say enough good things about Dexter Orthodontics. Both of my girls have been or are current patients. The doctors are absolutely amazing and accommodating, especially for those unexpected emergencies. The communication and scheduling is top notch, very personal and understanding with rough schedules. All the staff are super friendly and calming. What they bring and give to the Dexter Community from the Ice Fest to the Drama Club, and so much more, is truly remarkable. They care for their patients and Community. We are glad to be a part of the Dexter Orthodontics family. Bravo!
