Testimonials
Fantastic!
Our experience here at Hess Orthodontics has been fantastic. Both my son and daughter have been lucky enough to be under the care of Dr. Hess and his staff. From the moment we walked in the door to the end of the visit, we received excellent care.
Best orthodontics
We have been very happy with Dr. Hess and all “the girls." Every time we come in everyone is so friendly and helpful – and you can’t beat the spa services! We’ll be bringing our other son in when it’s his turn – and maybe someday my own teeth! Thanks you very much!
Wonderful experience
My experience at Hess Orthodontics has been wonderful. The staff is always friendly and Dr. Hess explains everything to his patients. Scheduling has never been a problem. I love the office décor and set up, makes the torture bearable. Thanks for everything!
Highly recommended
Thank you so much for taking what could have been an exhausting, expensive and painful process and making it easy, affordable and (at least office visits) fun. Your games, personalities and attention to every detail has truly made the difference! I will recommend your office to everyone!
Excellence!
"Excellence." I believe this word sums up every aspect of Dr. Hess' practice. There are no "loose ends" in this place! The office is beautiful. The coffee bar is great. The staff is always accommodating (I think they actually love their job!). Thanks so much!
