Overall A+ experience! I’m so glad I reached out to Dr. Stormberg and team for a second opinion and ultimately ended up deciding to agree to treatment with them. After visiting a different Orthodontist I didn’t feel comfortable with the quote I received nor the work they were telling me my son needed because his issue was more moderate in that he only needed to shift his bite.
I'm absolutely blown away by the service Dr. Stormberg and his staff provided me over the last 2 years! I just got my braces off today and I'm beyond happy with the results! The staff was extremely efficient and seamless with all the appointments during my treatment. The office is clean and very spacious and even has a view of the park. The price was very reasonable considering the high level of service and time it took to complete my treatment. I highly recommend Stormberg Orthodontics!
