"We had our first appointment with Dr. Shackleton to start the process of braces. My daughter has had several bad dental experiences and is very nervous about dental procedures in general...but she told me last night that she loves how they all come to talk with her and she especially likes how nice Miss Kimberly is with her! Thanks to the whole office for making her feel so comfortable!" Wendy
