I take my son to Dr. Gemmi's office in the Northeast. He is very good at what he does and with children. My son was very nervous about getting braces and frankly, so was I. Dr. Gemmi walks you through from start to finish and leaves no stone unturned. I was allowed to sit in the treatment room with my son as he was getting his braces on, which made a huge difference to my son. What I really like though, is that Dr. Gemmi addresses my son , not me. Too often, children are looked over when it comes to their care. Most doctors I have encountered direct questions/comments/etc. to the parents, not the kids. I think it's important to have the child involved completely from the beginning so they know they are taken seriously and so are their fears. I give Dr. Gemmi and his office in Northeast Philadelphia a great big thank you and thumbs up!!!
