Always the best!!!!!!
Came to Dr. Korch for their "in house" retainers. i wore braces in middle school/high school and like many I stopped wearing my retainers at night. Fast forward last year, 34 years old and wanting to get my smile back. Dr. Korch was extremely professional with me and met me every time adjustments needed to be made or If I had any questions.

I was very impressed with this because I could tell she would go out of her way to make sure I was pleased with the entire process. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to get teeth work done.
Best place for our son, great people , personalities, and comfort every time.
My son loves it here!

I highly recommend Dr. Korch to anyone looking for orthodontic treatment! My braces came off in 2020, just before the pandemic, and three of my children have been seen here over the years as well.
