Kristin Wheeler

Dexter orthodontist has been wonderful throughout the many years that we have been going there. He is on his final stage and close to being done. He has had only a positive experience the entire time. My other son, not pictured, has had the same experiences. They are very friendly and helpful with all questions and concerns about any type of treatment or scheduling issues that we have had over the years.

We love Dexter Orthodontics. Dr. Moenssen and Dr. Shoukri are so kind and thoughtful with their work. They always take the time to discuss what’s going on and what the plans are. The staff are truly some of the friendliest we’ve encountered. We currently have two kids in braces with more to come and highly recommended Dexter Orthodontics for all orthodontic needs.

They’ve been great and accommodating with me as an adult with sensory issues. Dr. Moenssen takes time to listen and discuss my progress and any questions I have. The techs and support staff are always friendly. I definitely would recommend this practice.

I was extremely impressed with the office and all of the staff! They didn’t recommend treatment that my son didn’t need! I trust when we return again for another check that they will be just as good! Thank you so much!
