I have had the most wonderful experience at Northcut Orthodontics. The staff there are super friendly, professional and just great at what they do.
Not only do they do a great job, they are also helpful and encourage you to ask questions about your progress. I couldn’t be happier.
The equipment is state of the art, the office is immaculate, and every last person who works there is absolutely top drawer.
I just got my braces off (3 months shy of the 2 years they projected!) and I couldn’t be happier with the end result and the care they gave me. They made getting braces as a full-fledged adult about as pleasurable as it can be!
I came in with a complicated situation but I’m thrilled with how my teeth look and feel now. I was really delighted with their service and the results!
I always felt like there was enough time to get questions answered, and yet, they also managed to run very much on time. A remarkably good experience with a perfect outcome!
Anytime I had a problem with my braces such as a broken bracket or anything else they were quick to get me in the office to fix me up. They’ll work with you every step of the way.
Knowledgeable, patient, trustworthy, kind, punctual, are just a few words to describe the Northcut Orthodontics practice. Dr. Winkler has taken care of our son as though he is family.
Northcut was by FAR the superior choice. In fact, I felt like I hit the jackpot. From treatment schedule and plan, overall cost, the staff – I could not have picked a better place. Dr. Winkler is great at what he does and really takes the time to get it right.
It was very easy to trust you’re in good hands and sets your mind at ease that you made the right decision choosing to come here.
I just couldn’t be happier. Dr. Shapiro doesn’t practice there anymore but whenever I see him he still likes to check my bite. I don’t have one bad thing to say and would recommend them to anyone.
We could not be happier with the service we have gotten and continue to get!
Hooray for Dr. Winkler’s assessment, and the time he took to “educate me” on the situation. It was clear to me that this doctor knows his stuff, and has excellent bedside manners.
Office is highly effective and efficient. The aspect of service that stands out is their communication from billing to the actual doctors. Somehow Northcut has made dental improvements fun.
So good, so attentive and great with kids. My 6yo son had to get braces on top after a tooth injury to an adult tooth to help stabilize it and we are so happy with the outcome. Will definitely be back if needed for our daughter and will recommend to friends as they are looking for orthos!
Awesome ortho office with great providers. I’m a dentist myself and I am going to this office, hopefully that tells you a lot about their quality of service and attention to detail. Would highly recommend their office!
I can’t say enough good things about this office. First of all, I’m delighted and impressed with how well the orthodontia went. I’m completely pleased with the results.
Really great people. They are super nice and friendly and they always talk to you. By far my favorite orthodontist! 😁 …
I had a great experience at Northcut Orthodontics! Everyone there was so kind!
Very friendly and professional staff, highly recommend!
