Testimonials

"My niece referred me to Dr. Kates. He has been a wonderful Orthodontist. He and his staff are both professional and caring. I was going through a terrible time in my life and Dr. Kates took the time to offer me words of encouragement. It meant so much to me that he was not just trying to get me in and out in a hurry.

I would definitely tell my friends and family to go to Dr. Kates. From the minute you walk in the door until the minute you leave everyone is friendly and professional. Everyone smiles and that sets the whole tone for your visit.

At 39 years old and a mother of 3, I can always appreciate support. My orthodontic treatment has given me that. Now I not only have a great smile but great confidence as well. Thank you Dr. Kates and Staff. I will miss you all!!!

~Kates Orthodontic Patient

"I chose Dr. Kates for my Orthodontic care because everyone I know who has braces gets their treatment here. Some of my family members were treated by Dr. Kates as well.

For the past 2 1/2 years I have been a patient and during that time everyone at the office has been great, always polite and very empathetic. They actually understand what you're going through because almost all of them have had braces or have them now.

I would refer anyone who asks to Dr. Kates. I went from not smiling or covering my smile to smiling comfortably all the time.

Besides making my smile look great, orthodontic treatment has boosted my self esteem and has really made me feel great about myself!"

~Kates Orthodontic Patient (August 2005 - March 2008)

“I was told by a co-worker that Dr. Kates has taken care of many families and that he was highly recommended because of his high standards.

His staff is very pleasant, knowledgeable and genuine about how they treat you. The whole time I was there I believed that my smile would improve because of his passion for helping people. I believe that his place is more that an Orthodontists office. I healed a lot during this process because I hated my smile.

I plan to bring my children to Dr. Kates and I would encourage everyone to see him for their Orthodontic treatment.

I can smile now! That says so much.

Thank you Dr. Kates!!"

"I chose Dr. Kates to do my orthodontic treatment because a childhood friend of mine was his patient. I could tell that there was such a big difference in her smile even though her treatment wasn’t even complete. She raved about Dr. Kates and how wonderful he and his staff are. I made an appointment that week.

Dr. Kates is so kind and professional, not to mention patient. He always takes the time to answer any and all questions I have. He explains every step of my treatment in a way that I can understand.

The staff at Kates Orthodontics has always been so good to me. The ladies are always friendly and extremely professional. There is definitely a “family” feel to the practice.

I always refer to Dr. Kates. I love the level of service that I receive and I want others to experience that as well. My children will be seeing Dr. Kates for their orthodontic treatment, should they ever need it.

Before my braces I practiced hiding my teeth when I smiled and took pictures. Now, I get so many compliments on my smile and I owe it all to Dr. Kates. I feel so much more confident now that my teeth are straight and beautiful!"

" I needed braces as an adult to help straighten my teeth. Dr. Kates and his friendly staff made that possible and I would recommend them if you would like a very beautiful smile."

~ Tasha Robinson

" I chose Kates Orthodontics because the staff is so friendly and the environment is especially nice. Through the process of having my braces they were very calming and reassuring to me. Dr. Kates has made my smile beautiful. I can smile more because of him."
