Dr. Stork and all of his staff are so great to work with. I love bringing our daughters to the office and experiencing a positive and energetic atmosphere. They help put them at ease which makes getting braces not so scary and intimidating. Thank you!

Having completed orthodontic treatment for both of my sons, I sought to enhance my own smile. Given the exceptional results achieved by Stork Orthopedics with my children, they were my natural choice for a third engagement. Their staff consistently demonstrates remarkable friendliness, flexibility in scheduling, and prompt attention to any emergent concerns. I wholeheartedly endorse their services.

I am very impressed with this orthodontic. Everyone is so friendly and fun. Strong communication especially for the kids is huge in my eyes. They asked my daughter how she felt about having braces and if there was anything she wanted to change about her smile. I would recommend this place to everyone who is thinking about getting braces for a free consultation. UPDATE BRACES ARE OFF so pleased with how quick and flawless the process is. And if you have a teen like mine she doesn’t like her pic taken 😄
