What patients say

Vibe: kid-friendly

Blaine Orthodontics receives overwhelming positive sentiment (13/14 five-star reviews) with consistent praise for friendly, knowledgeable staff and a welcoming environment that makes children comfortable. However, one critical one-star review warns of rigid pre-payment billing practices that create financial liability for patients if insurance disputes arise. The practice excels at staff warmth and patient experience but has a notable business practice concern regarding billing transparency and flexibility.
