    Our experience here at Hess Orthodontics has been fantastic. Both my son and daughter have been lucky enough to be under the care of Dr. Hess and his staff. From the moment we walked in the door to the end of the visit, we received excellent care.

    Dr. Baker and his staff are exceptional! Having worked in consulting for many years I recognize extra special treatment when I see it. Every detail is attended to and my daughter loves coming to her appointments. So much so that my other child now wants braces “because it is fun at Dr. Baker’s office!”

    We have been very happy with Dr. Hess and all “the girls.” Every time we come in everyone is so friendly and helpful – and you can’t beat the spa services! We’ll be bringing our other son in when it’s his turn – and maybe someday my own teeth! Thanks you very much!

    Dr Baker was thorough and patient with our many questions, answering them fully. The office was clean and comfortable, very much up to date. Support staff was and continues to be fantastic, which is a big thing in my book. Very pleased with the response and help they gave us.

    Thank you so much for taking what could have been an exhausting, expensive and painful process and making it easy, affordable and (at least office visits) fun. Your games, personalities and attention to every detail has truly made the difference! I will recommend your office to everyone!
