Dr. Bouldien is very professional and his initial estimates were right on the mark. His financial arrangements are very clear and easy to understand. You will not find "cheap" braces any where but, I can say that Dr. Bouldien did not begin treatment until it is necessary . We were concerned about my son's teeth so we visited Dr. Bouldien. He indicated that he could start treatment now if we wanted but, he suggested we come back in six months. When we came back, Dr. Bouldien still did not believe my son was ready and suggested we come back in 3 months. This time he was ready to begin treatment. So I could have been paying for braces 9 months earlier but, Dr. Bouldien did not start treatment until he felt it would be effective. In the end, Dr. Bouldien's orthodontic treatment of my son's teeth resulted in a beautiful smile in 24 months...which was 2 months less time than he originally estimated. I would see Dr. Bouldien again if I had another child needing orthodontic treatment. Kelly, Dr. Bouldien's office assistant, is also very effecient and helpful, answering whatever questions I had.
