I am extremely happy that we made the decision to go with Dr Fertman and his practice. We did meet with a few orthodontists, and they all seemed nice, but Dr Fertman has gone above and beyond since day one.
Comparing those initial consultations, I found Dr Fertman to be much more thorough in his examination of my daughter, knowledgeable about all of the latest techniques and treatments, and informative than any of the others. He made sure he understood what our goals and concerns were, outlined a clear plan for treatment and has provided consistently outstanding care.
My daughter has mild special needs so I was ever so slightly concerned about her readiness for braces, but instead of the hesitation we often experience, he used this as an opportunity to encourage her independence, boost her confidence and help teach her about the importance of self-care. It has been a wonderful experience for her.
We have not had any problems, just the occasional inconvenience of things shifting, wires moving out of place and the like, and he came in once on a Sunday and another time on a holiday weekend, telling us to just head straight in immediately upon hearing that she had some discomfort.
Throw in the fun atmosphere, and the sweet little perks you get (such as a box of mac & cheese for dinner the day you get your braces on), and we just could not be happier. If you have this decision to make, stop worrying and go to Dr. Fertman... You won't regret it!
