Being a 64 year old man I was not the least bit looking forward to getting braces. My case was a little different than most and needed a consult with Dr Sam King about how we were going to achieve our goal. I liked him the minute I met him. Dr. Sam always has a smile on his face. We set a course of action and moved forward. It worked perfectly. Dr Sam King and his staff gets my highest recommendation. As a side note, during my treatment I found out I had Prostate Cancer. I wasn’t sure I wanted to go any further with my treatment. When I mentioned this to Dr Sam he stopped what he was doing and sat down with me to talk this out. Every chair in the treatment room was full with patients. But he just stopped everything. He gave me his undivided attention for a few minutes. Offered his help in any way he could. I will never forget that.

Both my daughters had a fantastic experience with Dr. King, so much so that when their braces were out they missed going to his office! Highly highly recommend.
