When I first got custody of my daughter at 13, I took her to see him. Her mother hadn't been providing her with much in the way of medical care and she had about every orthodonic problem you can have. After he got done taking photo's of her mouth, he got up in my face and started telling me how neglecting a kid's oral health might be considered criminal and wanted to know why she hadn't been recieving dental care.
He cares, what more can I say except he rides a motorcycle.

Ex-wife's daughter was his patient before her teens. She was satisfied with him. I think she'll go back into braces once all of her adult teeth come in.
Generally, I think the best referral for an orthodontist is from your family dentist who has seen the finished product of multiple ortho's. My dentist still shakes his head every time I get my teeth cleaned, stating that Dr Murphy was the best d@mned orthodontist this county has seen. He was grumpy as heck, but very good at orthodontics. But that was almost 20 years ago.
My daughter went to him. He is a great doctor, just one of the most expensive in town. His staff sucks. They had our bills so messed up it took a couple of years (when she had her braces removed) for them to get it straight. His staff needs some lesson on customer service because in their office, the customer is wrong without looking into the details. They told my daughter on several occassions her braces would be off the month, then it was another month, then another month....gave her false hopes....other than that Dr. Doumitt himself is hot!

my boy has been seeing him for about 1 1/2 years, i wondered if he actually had a plan a few times, but the boys teeth are straight now and we are just awaiting some other unrealted dentistry before we take the braces off.
I have been pretty happy overall, well as happy as one can be when they spen 5 grand and don't get a new toy out of the deal

My son is a patient of Dr Doumit. We have been extremely pleased. From retainer to full braces - less than $3K - but insurance helps to dictate the expense. My younger son went in on a recommendation from the dentist, and Dr Doumit said he doubted the boy would ever need braces - so I don't think he'd shaft anyone.

My Dd has been a patient for 1 1/2 years. We've been very happy. I haven't had a problem with his staff, either. We've changed insurance twice and never had billing problems.
We rarely have to wait long when we have appts.

That is good to know. How is it getting an appointment?
Today, I didn’t get such good news about my oldest son. He has a tooth that hasn’t come in on the bottom and after reviewing the x-rays, there just isn’t room for the tooth to come in, so this Monday, they are bringing him back in for the full face x-ray and the dentist will write out a referral.
I knew it was coming but now I feel rushed and not prepared.
My dentist suggested Dr. Doumit, and he has an office located right next to our Pediatric dentist in Charlotte Hall. Which BTW, where you in that office today?
Appointments are easy to get. I've been very pleased with the results. I haven't been in either office for awhile but we have a checkup this week.Pandora said:That is good to know. How is it getting an appointment?

Hopefully all will work out well.

My son goes to Dr. Koterwas in California, we love him. The doctor talks with me regularly about my son's progress and the staff is nice.
