What Our Patients Say

We wanted to let you know that Lizzie was officially dismissed from U of M craniofacial clinic on Nov 29th. As you know, the last portion of her head they were scrutinizing was the lower third including her jaw. When she was quite young, we were told that her jaw would need to be broken when she was full grown—right about now at age 15. When we met with you for the first time, you were both adamant and confident that her case could be handled orthodontically and she would not need surgery. Well, you were right to our delight! Your expertise has resulted in not only a beautiful smile, but a functional one as well. For that we are truly grateful. We also wanted you to know how impressed the craniofacial team was with your work. They were highly complimentary and called it a “textbook case.” Dr. Buchman, head of the clinic, and a plastic surgeon who does not hand out compliments freely, commented that Lizzie’s chin was 3 mm off center and that only he as a plastic surgeon could see that. The orthodontic team heartily agreed. So, hats off to you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts and if you ever need to publish a successful, albeit difficult case, consider Lizzie! Thank you again,

Dave, Terri & Lizzie
