Richard D. Talbot, DDS, MS

As a teen I went to Dr Talbot to have braces put on. As I have had extremely bad experiences with other dentists and orthodontists, one after another, Dr Talbot and his staff were alway so kind and put me at ease. As an adult should I need any additional work I without a doubt will be returning to this office.

I went to Dr. Talbot for my orthodontics and he was great, the staff is very professional. Now my children go there and they talk highly of their visits. After my oldest had her first treatment she receive a letter from Bonnie the back office dental assistant, it was very sweet and the note hung on our fridge for years. Darlene the front office receptionist always greets my wife while she waits and makes kind conversation. My family adores these people and it makes me proud to tell others my kids get their ortho taken care of at Dr. Talbot.

Dr. Talbot is a mild mannered, decent orthodontist. With the exception of one of his staff members, Darlene, Karen and Stephanie are top notch, gracious people.
However, he has one employee, by the name of Bonnie. She is the Team Coordinator, RDA. Now on the first initial visit, she pleasantly laid out the game plan and came across as a nice woman. However, on every visit there after, she always appeared like she was chronically in a bad mood — as if she wanted to be somewhere else.
Now for our part, we were always on time for our appointments and tried to follow Dr. orders.
One day, my 17 year old daughter misplaced her retainers at home and we couldn’t find it – so we went back in to Dr. Talbot’s office a few months later when we had the money and ordered new retainers.
Bonnie, the Team Coordinator, acted as if she was personally offended by my daughter loosing her retainer (which we found a few months later, having fell down between the chair and cushion.)
On our last visit there, I asked her a question about the new retainers and she responded in a rude and unprofessional manner.
I found her sullen attitude and barely contained anger very odd and out of place, in this otherwise, beautiful orthodontic setting, but got the distinct impression that Dr. Talbot was aware of her unpleasant, condescending disposition, yet somehow supported it.
One can not possibly employ a person for that long and not notice. I’m sure my family wasn’t the first to be treated this way and we certainly won’t be the last.
I’ve worked, for many years, in a professional environment as a certified medical assistant in private practice. Acting rude towards a patient in any practice is simply unacceptable.
That was the last time we visited Dr. Talbot’s office.
Now the outcome of my daughter’s smile is beautiful. No complaint there.
The office is upscale, clean and high tech.
With the exception of that one employee, everything was fine.
However, I would NEVER recommend any one to this office.

I recently completed my Invisalign treatment with Dr.Talbot. The results are wonderful and the process relatively easy ! During the course of my treatment over approx. 20
months my appointments were always pleasant and the assistants always ready to
answer questions and make sure I was comfortable. On the rare occasion when I needed to change an appointment the office staff consistently tried to accommodate
my schedule as well as theirs. In all, love my smile & so appreciate the professional care I received throughout my treatment. I will continue to recommend friends &
family for any of their orthodontic needs ! Carol B.

Had to get braces as an adult and was referred to Dr Talbot (we think he looks like Tony Soprano). I had a great experience (4 years!) with the office staff, saw me thru having my second son – pulled a band off on Halloween eating a DOT (shame) and they got right in the next day so I could stop off on my way to the hospital to have that child!

So, I only went to get new retainers. Long story that. The office is super clean, everything is in really good order. The staff is super nice and polite. The staff is either wearing scrubs or a uniform. Everything looks sharp. He did a thorough evaluation to find out exactly what I would need and also suggested a retainer that could be adjusted easily in the future. Everything is extremely professional. I had a great experience.
****Just in case anyone is curious… I am getting blue-​green retainers with purple sparkles. :)

I love Dr. Talbot and his staff! I really did my research before I chose an Orthodontist and Dr. Talbot really stood out to me because he explained my treatment in terms I could really understand! He really took the time to understand what I wanted out of orthodontic treatment. I just got my braces off and have the beautiful smile I always wanted!
As a busy mother of two young children Dr. Talbot’s staff were so kind and understanding of my busy schedule and always worked with me to find the best time for me to have my appointments Dr. Talbot’s office it really feels like a family environment. Everyone is so kind and welcoming! They seem to always have some kind of fun event or contest going on.
I can’t wait until my children are old enough to be treated by Dr. Talbot too! I have recommended him to all of my family and friends and I would recommend him to you too!
