Dr. Specht is amazing with my daughter. He is very warm and kind with my 9 year old and the office staff is always so nice. We are given delicious warm chocolate chip cookies when the appointment is finished which for us is such a treat. Thank you for all you do!!!

It was the best experience I've ever had. The staff is amazing. I wish I had asked for the name of the girl who helped me out with the dentist. She was amazing and so professional. And the price is completely acceptable.

Gabby and Dr. Specht were the kindest people and very informative staff I've met in a dental office. You'll feel well taken care of here. They'll provide you with the information needed to make a decision about your health. I'd definitely recommend to family and friends.

Really nice and polite staff. I was NOT HAPPY with end result. My daughter's teeth look like she has an overbite. At first I thought they look like that because of the braces, but no. After they removed the braces and brackets they still look the same.

I have been bringing my son Robert here for well over 3 years and now my daughter is getting her invisalign. and I have a few more that are going to need braces, but no fear or hesitation I know my kids will be well taken care of at Dr. Specht's office.

Dr. Specht gave us alternative treatments that other offices did not, specifically a device instead of head gear which my child wouldn't have used. Great customer service and office staff. Usually no (or a very short) wait in the office and always friendly!

The overall service has been great so far. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and explained it all. My son had a million questions and the staff was very patient to answer them all. A plus is that the kids will look forward on getting ice cream during the visits. Thank you for all!

We had our first visit / consultation a week ago and I couldn’t be more pleased with your office. Not only was it clean and easy to find but everyone in that office was so wonderful and friendly. My brother left feeling confident and excited about getting braces, that alone made the visit worthwhile. Thanks again!

I have been coming to Dr. Specht's office for about 5 months now and every visit has been a great experience, no long waits and ice cream at the end. Dr visits don't get any better than that. I recently had some billing questions and Martha helped me with everything!
