Orthodontic treatment is a big commitment.
The orthodontist you choose shapes your results, your schedule, and what you pay. And once you start, transferring to another office is cumbersome and expensive, so it's worth taking the time to get it right.
Bring these questions to any consultation, including ours. Here's how we answer them.
Usually within one business day when the office is open. Call us anytime, and we'll tell you what to do in the meantime.
Dr. Schuler coordinates directly with your other providers. She calls them, shares records, and stays in touch by email so everyone is working from the same plan.
No. If your treatment runs long, there's no extra charge.
Together. Dr. Schuler makes that decision with you, based on whether your goals for your smile have been met.
Yes. Parents, spouses, and children are welcome in the clinic to watch and ask questions.
Yes. You'll see Dr. Schuler at every visit, and you can ask her about your treatment, or your child's, at any appointment.
A real person in our office. Maggie, our treatment coordinator, sets up your payment plan before treatment starts, and Lizette, our office manager, can help with billing questions along the way. You can reach either of them by phone or in person.
No. Dr. Schuler never refers patients out because of complexity. She treats everything from straightforward braces to complex cases here.
No. We have one office, at 202 NE 181st Ave, Suite C, so every appointment is in the same place.
Dr. Schuler and our entire team speak Spanish. For other languages, we schedule an interpreter for your appointments on request, at no cost to you, whether you have OHP, insurance, or pay on your own.
Some offices place braces at the first visit. Dr. Schuler takes a more deliberate approach. Before placing braces, she reviews your diagnostic records, your bite, and your individual needs, then develops a treatment plan tailored to you. That usually means your consultation and braces placement are separate appointments, so your treatment gets the planning it deserves from day one.
