I had braces and did have luck however when he worked on my children, he did a terrible job. He actually yanked 4 of my child's baby teeth out with NO preparation for her or me and with out telling me what he was doing. She was bleeding profusely and crying frantically. I should have left at that time.
I trusted him completely and spent over 20,000.00 with him during a 7 year period. He does have talent but no humility. When I finally had had enough and decided to take my daughter out of his care, the whole attitude toward me changed. I finally took my son out and then the final straw was when I needed to be paid back for services he either did not complete or needed to do properly.
My daughters work was completed for HALF of what he wanted to complete it. He also had a staff member there that was not capable to doing things well and with the price he charges one should get ONLY the BEST of courtesy, treatment and kindness toward children especially.
