Danny A.
If you want a masterclass in customer service and patient care, look no further than Dr. Ely and his crew of absolute champions. You will not find a single B player in this entire place. Nothing but All Stars run these halls and it is just such a joy to watch them work.

I wish half the multi billion dollar enterprises I’ve worked with and for over my career had a quarter of the swagger Dr. Ely’s team has. Seriously, I wish they’d write a book on how this business was built. I’d buy a dozen copies and hand them out at work.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your incredibly kind words, Danny! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with Dr. Ely and our team. Your recognition of our commitment to outstanding customer service and patient care is greatly appreciated. We strive to create a supportive and high-performing environment, and it’s rewarding to know that it shows. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm!
Joe W.
Excellent orthodontist, very personable and skilled staff.
Everyone from the front desk to the orthodontist himself, Dr. Ely, are kind, professional, and always doing everything they can to ensure the best possible outcome for their patients.
I cannot say enough good things about the treatment that I received here.
I had a complicated case, which included jaw surgery, and Dr. Ely's wisdom and guidance made an enormous difference. My bite and my face is forever changed for the better, and I have gotten medical benefits from the correction that I wasn't even expecting.
I would give 6 stars if I could.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Joe! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with Dr. Ely and our team. Your satisfaction motivates us to continue providing the best care possible. We look forward to supporting you on your orthodontic journey!
Shanon F.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Shanon! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with our staff and doctor. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to serving you again!
Samantha B.
I am an adult that went back for braces for a second time after having them as a child and was very nervous about the process. The entire team is extremely knowledgeable and patient and willing to answer all my questions. My teeth came out beautiful and I feel much more confident with my smile! The payment plan was also extremely helpful so that I could afford the treatment without having to take out a loan. I can’t recommend this place enough.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Samantha! We're thrilled to hear that your experience with us was positive and that you're happy with your beautiful smile. Our team strives to provide the best care and support, and it's rewarding to know we made you feel confident throughout the process. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you again!
Heather W.
I am forever grateful for Dr. Ely and his staff! My son just finished his 2 year mark with his braces and just got them off. I myself still have some time with my invisalign. We always have great appointments. I love all the ladies working here. Paige is such a sweetheart. I remember when she helped start my son and my journey 2 years ago. Now she had the honor of removing my sons braces today. I would highly recommend coming here. This staff is amazing and they are so caring. They work with you through your entire journey here. Whether it's the braces, financially, emotionally...they are always here for you. Thank you Dr. Ely and your team for always being so caring and welcoming during each and every appointment.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We are honored to serve each and every one of our patients!
Melanie N.
Sydney is the sweetest, you always have a great experience, the staff are super friendly and helpful.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We are honored to serve each and every one of our patients!
Vernon J. M.
What can I say about this amazing office and staff. Going to the orthodontist usually doesn't rank high on people's preferred destination but coming here always proves to be a wonderful experience for me. The professionalism and care exhibited by the entire office is simply incredible. Whether it is an appointment when I need it, extra rubber bands or just a friendly smile when you're finished this office never disappoints. My appointments are always made personal as Brooke makes sure that no matter what I smile before I leave the office. I look forward to the end of my braces journey so i can smile with pure joy with the staff. Thank you Dr. Ely and of course thank you Brooke.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review Vernon!
