My experience with Dr. Ries has left a bad taste in my mouth! At first she seemed quite concerned and helpful but as the treatment continued (and payment was completed) she was uninterested in my dental progress. Many times I needed to insist that she examine my orthodontic apparatus in order to keep progress on track. The overall procedure took over a year and a half longer than she estimated. I strongly feel this was due to her inattentiveness. In the end, she decided that the procedure was completed even though several of my teeth were not positioned correctly. I am now having to pay another orthodontist to complete the procedure for which Dr. Ries was paid several thousand dollars.
