“My daughter has sensory processing disorder and has always been incredibly anxious around new doctors and dentists. Needless to say, I was more than a little concerned that getting braces in 4th grade would be a major struggle for her. Thanks to Dr. Brett’s warm and approachable personality, she is doing great. Now a year into her treatment, she actually seems to look forward to going to appointments. I appreciate how well he explains the treatment plan and doesn’t push for anything unnecessary. The office is bright and clean and has a great tooth-brushing station with 2 types of brushes. My sensory girl usually brushes her teeth at home with her special toothpaste, but I know if she forgets, she can use the pre-filled bamboo toothbrushes and not gag. When I was about to pick a new dental plan, the office staff helped tremendously. They told me the one I had (which was the cheapest on the NJ insurance marketplace), actually had the best orthodontic benefits.” – A.D., Maplewood
