Dr. Hershberger is one of the best people I have ever met. On a personal as well as professional level. He truly cares about his patients and is more concerned about their wellbeing than the bottom line. He takes time to get to know the kids and becomes their friend. He has no problem saying "lets wait to do this till later". Some orthodontists rush the procedure so they can get the full payment, Dr Hershberger doesn't consider costs when making his judgements. At the end, it might mean more money but I think at the end of the day, the final product will always be stellar with Dr. Hershberger. I recommend him very enthusiastically.
