DR. MOLLY GAREH - THUNDER BAY ORTHODONTICS REVIEWS

Dr. Gareh is the closest we can get to magic on earth! She performs miracles!! I shopped around for different Dr’s and was SO GLAD she is close by b/c she fixed/straightened what I thought could not be fixed/straightened. She answers all my thousands of questions and gives me very real, honest answers even recommending other specialists if I need further cosmetic work done but she can still do it all as I’m planning whitening and/or veneers. She held my anxious hand through the entire journey of braces at age 33! If you’re an adult looking for complex work done with severe crowding, she is fiercely talented and can fix it all! They are also flexible with payments if one doesn’t have insurance. Thunder Bay doesn’t even know how lucky they are to have her!! Literally every single staff at her practise is exemplary at what they do! I’ve never waited longer than 5 mins to be seen, they’re very organized and it’s exceptionally clean! 6/5 stars ,110% recommend Dr. Gareh and her team of the best of the best! Let her work her magic.

100% the best orthodontist out there! Over the past few years she has helped with an expander and braces, making the process easy. She cares about her patients and is always giving knowledge out about what exactly is going on. There were times where it seemed as if my teeth were not going to shift, but she was dedicated to making them shift and wanted to see the results play out. Highly recommend.

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Gareh for the last 2 years. The experience has been nothing but positive in all regards. Dr. Gareh has been patient and always willing to share information . More importantly, she has developed and nurtured a trust with my daughter that is hard to put a price on. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Molly to anyone with children in need of orthodontic care.

DR. MARK VUKOVICH - SMILEMAKERS ORTHODONTISTS REVIEWS

Dr. Vukovich and his staff are amazing, my son had been seeing them for over 2 years now for an RPE and braces. They are so friendly and helpful. The amazing outcome of my sons teeth are astounding, in the beginning I never imagined how Dr.Vukovich could make his teeth look as good as they are today. A big thank you, I do recommend Dr.Vukovich every time someone asks about a Orthodontist. Very courteous staff, friendly atmosphere and very clean.

Dr Vukovic and his team are amazing. We are always fit in the schedule at the drop of a hat. We are out of town clients and are always accommodated to what works for our schedule. Not many doctors provide this option. Dr. Vukovic is courteous, professional and by far one of the kindest and most knowledgeable doctors we have had the pleasure of having care for our son and his teeth thus far. I would recommend him highly. Wonderful experience. Grateful.

Everyone and everything is Amazing. Us being out of town clients, they rescheduled many times so it fits into our schedule. Great experience.

DR. BRUCE MCFARLANE - TBAY SMILES ORTHODONTICS AND DENTAL HYGIENE REVIEWS

I went to Dr. McFarlane on a recommendation from a colleague and honestly could not be happier with how my treatment went. His Team is wonderful, Shelley is efficient and professional, Paula is a wonderful hygienist and Invisalign planner. She and Shelley walked me through the entire Invisalign process.. All information was sent to Dr. McFarlane and a comprehensive report was returned (this was part of the consultation). I had another consultation at another place and was thoroughly disappointed it was a hour of them talking, no pictures, no history, no imaging taken, nothing, I just had my last visit with Dr. McFarlane and the Invisalign's were absolutely BRILLIANT.. I get compliments on my teeth all the time now, I have no issues with eating anything at all, my bite is perfect. Advantage to Invisalign's you can use your retainers to bleach your teeth. The only negative I would have to say about Invisalign treatment is it is a commitment, you have to wear your retainers, you have remove your retainers when you want to eat, you have to clean your retainers, its not for everyone, however I think the end result in comparison to friends who had braces is much better.

Dr. McFarlane stopped my jaw clicking with Invisalign, I was told I would need jaw surgery by a doctor - so happy I tried this amazing alternative first! And my teeth are so straight now, he completely fixed my smile and cross-bite, I would recommend him to anyone considering Invisalign.

My youngest daughter had a different Orthodontist and I wasn't able to get my oldest daughter in for 6 months so I decided to try Dr. McFarlane. I am sooooo glad I did! He goes above and beyond and will email me after appointments with my daughter to give me updates and recommendations. Shelley is so organized and helpful and they also had the best prices in town in my opinion! Highly recommend.
