We’ve always put family first and because of that, we’re one big family here. In fact, all of our orthodontists have worked here for so long they’re now treating the children of the patients they saw when they first started!

And guess what, when you’re a patient here we’ll not only give you a customized treatment plan, we’ll give you your doctor’s cell phone number just in case you have a question.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Jazmin. We’re thrilled you had a great experience with our team!
I recently had the pleasure of taking my daughter to get her braces removed, and I can't say enough about the amazing dental assistant who helped us. From the moment we walked in, Tim made us feel welcome. He was incredibly patient, explaining each step of the process to my daughter and making sure she felt comfortable the entire time.

What really stood out was his sense of humor! He kept us both laughing, which helped ease any nerves my daughter had about the procedure. It was clear that he genuinely cares about his patients, and his positive attitude made the experience so much more enjoyable.

Overall, I highly recommend this dental office, especially because of the fantastic staff like Tim. Thank you for making my daughter's braces removal such a fun and memorable experience!
Response from the owner:Hi The Acevedo Family, we’re overjoyed by your positive review. Thank you for taking the time to share!
Honestly is a rare trait to find so I truly appreciate Image for their honesty. Had an appointment for wisdom teeth surgery but after an x-ray was given the assessment that I’m high risk my age and because the teeth might touch a nerve and I should get a 3D scan first. I wasn’t charged for the visit but will be back if I have to.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback, Kevin. We’re so happy to hear such kind words!
Always have a great experience with Image! I was seen by Vanessa today she is very gentle and polite
