While we could find an orthodontist much closer to home it is well worth the drive to have my children being cared for by Dr. J and his staff. Who would have ever thought that my kids actually enjoy going to the orthodontist. The office staff is first class as well. The kicker is when we were originally researching and comparing orthodontists, Dr. J was right in the middle of the pact (don't tell him now though but I would have gladly paid him more for his outstanding services :)). Lastly while other children where we live have often complained that there braces really hurt my children have been amazed at how painless this whole process has been. He is excellent!
