Dr. Woolaver and his staff are AWESOME! Every visit we've had with them has been great and both kids look forward to visits. Today was my son's big day to remove braces and he was so excited. Image his surprise when they have him a cool treat (large KitKat bar) to celebrate the occasion.

My daughter has to have multi step braces. She got step one braces at age 7. Dr. Woolaver and his staff are amazing. He was recommended to us by per primary dentist and we couldn’t be happier. They are kind, attentive and patient. Service is above and beyond by everyone in the office.

Absolutely THE BEST orthodontist. I first met Dr. Woolaver when I was in high school before he owned his practice. Totally my fault for not keeping up with my retainers as an adult, 😆 but I found and went back to Dr. Woolaver who remembered me and helped me get my bite back in check with Invisalign. He’s a fabulous doctor and his staff is equally incredible. Always leaving with a smile. 😁❤️

I couldn’t be any happier with my experience. From the first visit to the last, the team let me know what to expect and how I can make the process go smoothly. They always worked with my schedule and their online consulting tool made it easy for treatment. Thank you Woolaver Team for giving me the best smile of my life!
