Everyone knows that any such procedures done well are costly. I’ve had friends who had their teeth done with«second opinions» and now they’re in their 20’s and having root canals all for a silly«cheaper price». Somethings aren’t about money, but KNOWLEDGE. You don’t select Doctors on price but upon EXCELLENCE. MYSTORY: I’ve needed to get my teeth straighten ever since I was 13 years old but my mom never had the money to get them for me so at the age of 18 after I graduated and started working my part time I was finally able to take this step(as dental health has always been very important to me). The thing was that my k9s where so high in my gums that they looked like vampire fangs– both the lower and upper jaws, aside from the fact that I have a small mouth. I have an uncle who’s a dentist and every time he saw me he would tell me that in his experience it would be very hard for me to be a candidate for Invisalign because my treatment would have to be very intense. But I started looking into Invisalign anyway and went ahead onto the Invisalign website to find options. They had a «look for a doctor» link so I decided to select a couple of the most qualified doctors to visit for their options on my treatment. First on the list was Dr. Hier– he had the most advance technology as well as the most experience in recent Invisalign procedures. So I decided to give it a shot, I wasn’t giving in so easily to the brace-face destiny. INTHEOFFICE: I went in the office skeptical, I only wanted an opinion after all… and it was delightful. I didn’t even have to think it twice. It just felt like I had found the right place. First off his staff, they were the sweetest! They made my mom feel comfortable because she doesn’t speak much English and his staff was able to communicate with her so she was always in the loop. Everything was clear both for me and for her. They truly felt like they wanted to help. Second, the consult was absolutely FREE! Lastly, Dr. Heir proposed the Invisalign treatment plan for me after all! It was amazing news! I only wore braces in my molars for two months to anchor my k9s back a bit and they were absolutely clear, no one ever even noticed I had braces; then onto Invisalign! :) the process was immediate! I started that same day with X-rays and other exams. Oh!!! I cannot forget to mention Dr. Hier’s hands are SO gentle! As you can imagine my small mouth would tear at the edges every time I had work done, and most doctors wouldn’t care, but Dr. Hier was patient with me and understood, and there’s nothing better than a doctor with a precise and gentle touch. TODAY: I’m on the second part of my treatment now! Everyone compliments my smile! …all I can say to those people is you need to thank Dr. Hier and Milca and Angie and Sonia and everyone in that office because they truly work together to make my beautiful smile the way it is today! I’ve enjoyed every office visit for the past two years! My cousin is also being treated by him, and recently my mom, in her 50+ years of age! it’s never too late! PRICE: I paid just about $ 5.8K in total and I’m not ashamed to say it because I would pay every penny all over again. I had just turn 18 at the time and knew it was worth it! I make comfortable payments monthly as they worked with me through various possible plans. I’m just about 21 and the payments are no burden even through my part time job. If a young adult like me can do it, anyone can do it. I even pay my moms treatment now. She totally deserves nothing but the BEST. CONCLUSION: I recommend Dr. Hier to everyone I know! I wouldn’t take valuable time to post a comment on this website if I didn’t find it unjust and absolutely ridiculous for someone to complain because they’re just plain cheap. You’re investing on YOUR health and well being. Jeessshhh! In the end, the fancy office was just a plus, nothing better than looking up into the sky to be relaxed… Dr. Heir, 5 stars and an A++ for a job well done. Thank you for all the dedication you have put into your career, I can appreciate your value to it and all the hard work you have put to cater to people. Even the ungrateful ones.
