It is expensive there is no discount here. I like Dr. Jetson's mild and straight forward manner and the unpretentious office. They do not take insurance, but will do the insurance filing for you, and you have the option of paying all up front or being put on a payment plan. They do not have private rooms but rather one large room for 3 patients, so there is no privacy for the patient. The two assistants are very quiet spoken and nice. What else can I say, unfortunately my child has to go through this, however pleasant you try to make it, it is not pleasant!!!!Orthodontistry is no fun. It is too early to tell if treatment is a success, i will know in 2 or more years.
