I have been working for Bates Orthodontics for almost 4 years now. From day one is was nothing short of an amazing team and positive environment. I went through braces and recently had them taken off this past fall. Not only do my teeth look great, but it also brought back more confidence in myself. I have been showing off my smile everywhere since!! Dr. Bates is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and caring. He really takes the time to work with each patient and their needs. He truly goes above and beyond. I love being apart of the Bates Braces family!
