I can not say enough good things about Dexter Orthodontics. Both of my girls have been or are current patients. The doctors are absolutely amazing and accommodating, especially for those unexpected emergencies. The communication and scheduling is top notch, very personal and understanding with rough schedules. All the staff are super friendly and calming. What they bring and give to the Dexter Community from the Ice Fest to the Drama Club, and so much more, is truly remarkable. They care for their patients and Community. We are glad to be a part of the Dexter Orthodontics family. Bravo!
