"This was my first visit to a mint. I must say the staff treated me very well. Very friendly and professional attitudes. From the front desk to the dentist chair they operated in a timely manner. Robbie and Carrie both went above and beyond to make sure my issues were resolved with my teeth. Robbie was very determined and optimistic to make sure everything was correct and Carrie assisted her. I thank you both for giving me a great 1st time mint experience. I would definitely recommend this office to anyone I know in need of an orthodontist."
