  My experience with Thurman Orthodontics has been so great! From the start of our visit they made me feel so comfortable and made my daughter feel at ease. If I had to choose all over again I would choose Thurman Orthodontics! I can't wait to see the outcome of my daughters smile!

  We compared Thurman Orthodontics to another reputable orthodontist in the same area for my daughter. Both provided very thorough examinations and consultations. The other orthodontist would use appliances while Thurman would not. When I asked Dr Thurman the reason for the different treatment plan he was very open about it. Appliances are more of an older school of treatment (I can attest as I've had my own experiences) vs using only the wires. He explained that both methods are effective and it comes down to a matter of preference of the orthodontist. He explained there would be nothing wrong if I chose to go with the orthodontist who uses appliances. I definitely appreciated his openness and that he didn't try to sell me on anything. Instead he provided me the information for me to make the decision. I also consulted my regular dentist and he confirmed what Dr Thurman had said. We are now 3 months into a 18 month treatment plan and couldn't be happier. Would highly recommend!

  After getting my wisdom teeth extracted from my regular dentist. I was left with a few remaining treatment recommendations. The first was to get braces/Invisalign and then a couple of dental implants. My regular dental office offers all the services required. However, they wanted $500 a month and charged $5000. I totally understand braces are expensive, but they didn’t even want to work with me on payments. Not to mention all the condescending comments and “tone” I was given by my regular dental office. So, my wife and I decided to look around for different orthodontic options. We stumbled upon Thurman Orthodontics. We saw they had really high ratings. Not to mention we have seen their bumper sticker on many cars around town. So, we thought why not give it a try. We were immediately impressed with customer service and atmosphere. Everyone was nice and had a smile on their face. Everything looked clean and up to date. Everyone and everything was completely inviting. Including the coffee and other beverages they offer. They also have iPad stations and lots of seating. The process was so simple you simply sign in and fill out a half sheet of paper. They then call you to the back within 5-10 minutes. They took free X-Rays and had me meet a treatment coordinator. She was extremely helpful and explained everything. She was super nice and made us feel like family. We felt so comfortable and welcomed. Now the part everyone dreads “Payment”. She offered us an easy payment plan that fit our budget. She never once made us feel rushed or uncomfortable. They worked with us and made it so simple. The affordability was a completed shocker, considering how difficult it was with our regular dental office. Needless to say both my wife and I were able to received braces and they worked with us every step of the way. I would recommend anyone who needs braces to Dr. Thurman. It simply does not get better than Thurman Orthodontics.

  First, I found Thurman Orthodontics by a recommendation of a friend and also by a billboard advertisement on the street. My overall experience was fantastic and honestly they were really gentle since I sign in in the entrance until the whole process of my Braces. I am really satisfied with all the worked they did to me and how organized they were explaining to me all important information about my future visits for treatments. I strongly recommend this TEAM !!

  Dr. T and his staff are nothing short of AMAZING! I went in for a consultation last month and after speaking with Dr. T I knew this was the place for me. I was able to get my braces on the same day and arrange an affordable payment plan that worked for me since I don’t have dental Insurance. I appreciate how attentive the staff is and how short wait times were! Can’t wait to see my new smile in about 18 months :)

  I had the upmost amazing experience at Thurman Orthodontics. I had my braces on for only 5 months and now I have a perfect smile. They listened to every concern I had and worked through it with me. The atmosphere at Thurman's is absolutely amazing, the girls are always so cheerful and happy and they always try to connect with you. You break a bracket? That's okay, they're gonna get you in same day. You have a concern with a payment? They'll work with you. Hands down the best place to get the perfect smile. Dr. T and his girls know what they're doing and will do their absolute best to make sure you are nothing less of 100% happy with your smile. :)

  My oldest son was in braces for 6 years, my middle son has been in braces for four years and we were looking for an office to continue care, from the moment of the first phone call I was so impressed with this office. The office is genuinely kind and friendly. I am so happy that we have decide to make that phone call and now my son will be comfortable with his treatment and staff!

  Thank you Mandy!! 💚💚

  After Dr. Thurman did such a great job on our Daughter, my son was ready to get his smile looking good but Dr. Thurman patiently waited and examined over 2 years, until he knew our Son was ready for success. He and his staff are the best in town.

  Thank you Craig! We so appreciate your family! :)

  My daughter, Kyleigh, just got her braces put on this past week and not only did they make her experience as positive as possible, we received texts afterward checking up on her and offering advice. We have been working with Thurman Orthodontics for over a year because Ky's baby teeth hadn't all fallen out yet and they recommended we wait until they had so as not to incur additional costs ot have Ky wear the braces any longer than necessary. Their honesty won me over that day and that's why I chose Thurman Orthodontics for her braces. You won't find a cleaner, more inviting office or nicer staff anywhere. I highly recommend Thurman Orthodontics, you will not be disappointed.

  Response from the owner

  We are honored to get the privilege to treat Kyleigh! Thanks so much Jenn!
