This would be my 2nd go around in life with straightening my teeth. Ballard is by far the better of the two places I’ve used. The staff are fun and friendly. Everyone is gentle and kind. The pricing was beyond reasonable. Great team to work with!!

Best experience throughout the whole process. Dr. Ballard took good care of my daughter and you could feel he wanted the best for her and her smile. He didn’t rush the process or recommended anything unnecessary. Always made us feel comfortable and checked to see if there were any questions or concerns. The staff was amazing as well! Definitely make you feel like one big family. Recommend 100%.
