Truly a terrible experience. The staff was nice enough but my needs as a patient were not met and I was made to feel like my teeth were not well taken care of (despite 4 years prior of orthondotic care and regular dentistry care)I would not recommend and will not be coming back. I will share this experience with my providers at Park Dental and maybe they can recommend a different provider if services like this are needed in the future.

My daughter was unsure about how to put in bands & no one educated me as the parent. This was a new skill. Some practice would have eased her anxiety. My communication was with the receptionist.

I was so pleased with my visit. My previous ortho had retired so I needed a new ortho to help with my broken permanent lingual retainer. She gave me a lot of options, and explained her recommendation very well.

This is our second child with braces through this office and we have always been more than satisfied. Friends who go elsewhere have horror stories of long waits, broken braces/appliances and difficulty scheduling. I recommend your office every time.

The orthodontist did an excellent job hearing my concerns and then helping me to understand her perspective on my daughter's teeth and what she hoped to accomplish with further treatment. I really appreciated that she took the time to walk us through a variety of approaches to my daughter's teeth!

She seemed very caring, but she spent a lot of time talking, saying she'd "meet us where we're at", yet didn't give us much of a chance to ask questions to find out where we're at. This was our chance to gather information, and I was only able to ask a couple of questions. She didn't seem interested in finding out exactly why we were there in the first place and what we wanted to know, and I didn't get a chance to tell her.

It felt kind of rushed once the doctor came. I am sure it was a routine appointment and they were trying to move people quickly through. By I was curious to hear more about where my daughter was at in the treatment and what was coming next. She said maybe she would be getting the bottom braces on at the next appointment, and have a me a few rushed answers to my questions, but gave me cues that she needed us to move along and that there really wasn't time for questions. It was a little off putting.

The language and tone used when explaining treatment options was demeaning. Using words like "I want to educate you on..." assumes that I don't already understand what is happening in my orthodontic care and made me feel like I was being talked down to. Using phrases like "Here's what I observe" or "Have you noticed this about your teeth" would feel much more open-ended and respectful. Being offered the option to purchase retainers also felt much like a sales pitch and had nothing to do with why I was there for the appointment. While I realize this allows you to feel like you are providing the best possible care, to the patient it may feel like you are selling something and overlooking the real reason for the visit.

Dr. Juehlin seems very rushed. She asked if I had any questions and before I could even take a breath to answer she said "No? Ok great!" and proceeded to wrap up the appointment and leave.

Dr. Juhlin is always thorough in her explanations and is in the top tier of medical professionals I interact with at being present and attentive for the entire time she is with us. I know she is busy but she never gives off a one hand on the door vibe. I feel well informed and heard and truly appreciate her manner.

Orthodontist and team were very clear about options and costs which I had asked for
2.5 out of 5
November 9, 2020
The options I was given by the orthodontist were both relatively invasive treatments (surgery, removing teeth). I only found out about an orthodontics-only option after I proactively inquired about it. It was then explained to me that this would meet most of my needs and take less time, cost less and not require surgery or teeth pulling. While the orthodontist was helpful, I would have appreciated it if this orthodontics-only option was included in the list of options given by the orthodontist without me having to ask.

Dr. Juhlin is always thorough and clear. She is deliberate in the manner in which she asks if we have questions or concerns. iI haven't had many but everything about her manner suggests I could ask and get thorough answers to anything I needed. She is professional and conveys expert care and concern but remains approachable and friendly.

You are the third specialist we've seen regarding orthodontia, yet the only one who explained to us exactly why my son needed braces, and answered all of my questions instead of rushing me out.

they sometimes wouldn't check to see if I was having any pain from the red mouth thing.
