I was recommended by one of my friends, very hesistant at first. But as I was welcomed by the staff every stress seem to melt away. And if I dont mind the office is beautiful and very immaculate. The staff is wonderful and very pleasant. Dr. Blase himself is one of the most friendly. I have only worn my braces for 10 months which is a big plus since I taught it would be for couple years. Dr. Thomas Blase is the best orthodontist every! :-)
