Martin Orthodontics

Dr Martin was very nice his office staff I can't say the same for, I had braces put on my daughter and not even 2 weeks later my mother was diagnosed with a terminal cancer of the lung and metastasis to the brain, she then underwent brain surgery and ended up with a brain bleed. She became paralyzed on the right side. I had a choice of taking care of her at home or sending her to a nursing home. I quit my job and cared for my mother, you only have one mom.....I had to cut back on everything and unfortunately braces were one of those expenses. Keep in mind she had only been there once I paid a deposit of 950.00 I asked the office staff if we could work something out and remove the braces and I would come back when I was able. I would have happily paid for the office visit and hardware in her mouth, but that was not going to happen. They ended up suing me for services that were never performed. I hope that no one in that office has to make the choices I had to make and to watch their mother whom was the best woman on earth, die. I hope none of them have to endure what I did, I am not complaining just the facts. I thought it was pretty cold hearted that they wouldn't work with me...........KW more

Many people dread the day when they have to visit the orthodontist. On your first visit to the office, you wait anxiously in the waiting room. You notice something different about the office waiting room. Instead of seeing a room with boring white walls, magazines older than you are, and a staff with no personality, you experience something quite different. The walls are a serene blue; a giant fish tank sits in the middle of the waiting room, the ?kid?s corner? has wall-mounted video games, and the staff treats you like you have known them your entire life. Welcome to the office of Dr. Martin! You instantly feel at ease, knowing this visit will be the first of many pleasant ones to come. Martin Orthodontics, which is where Dr. Cliff Martin specializes in orthodontic work, may intimidate those who are afraid of any kind of oral work; however, Dr. Martin provides quality, compassionate care. I highly recommend Martin Orthodontics to any parent who is deciding on orthodontic care. I have been seeing Dr. Martin since I was fourteen years old. Now that I am eighteen and in college, I visit either to have a retainer check up or just to say ?Hi.? Every time I come into the office Dr. Martin and his staff always inquire about how my schooling is going, and they ask about my family. Both of my siblings have seen Dr. Martin. Carly Jo, my little sister, has just started her braces ?process? with Dr. Martin. Carly has Down syndrome and does not quite understand exactly what?s going on in her mouth or why she has to visit Dr. Martin. I am incredibly impressed with Dr. Martin and his staff?s patience and understanding of Carly Jo. Although having a great personality and friendly demeanor is not everything, which Dr. Martin and his staff definitely have mastered, it goes hand-in-hand with the quality care that they provide. Dr. Martin and his staff always make a point to explain procedures to their patients and their guardians before they begin. It is reassuring to know what is going on in your mouth before they begin working on it. Before braces are even applied, Dr. Martin has a private meeting with the parents and patient to discuss the ?game plan.? I know, as a patient, talking about braces before actually getting them on was a relief because I had no idea what braces would be like. Dr. Martin thoroughly explains how to take care of your braces, so that you can be assured the prettiest smile possible. After you are freed from braces, Dr. Martin explains the work that goes into taking care of your teeth in the aftermath, which also entails your retainers that are fitted and made in the office. There is also a webpage filled with all the information you could possibly ask for about Martin Orthodontics, the staff, and need to know facts about mouth appliances and braces. As a patient, I am completely satisfied with the extensive knowledge that Dr. Martin and his staff provide throughout the braces years. more
