I worked with Dr. Gerlein for over two years in preparation for and following oral-maxillofacial surgery. Getting braces as an adult was a bit scary, but the entire staff went above and beyond to accommodate my work schedule and make me feel comfortable. Dr. Gerlein is so warm and kind and his care is top notch. His staff is superb, always smiling (I give them bonus points because I usually saw then before 8 am) and willing to explain what they are doing (which is something that you do not always see). Dr. Gerlein is a perfectionist and provided a final result that exceeded my wildest expectations. He is honest, affable, and takes the time to get to know his patients. By the end of my treatment, I actually looked forward to going to my appointments, which surprised me. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any of my friends or family! He and his staff are the best!!
