First let me say that Dr. Brown seems to be an excellent orthodontist. Several of my kids have seen him after he took over for the Dr. that had retired. His manner was quite different than Dr. Griffith but not in a bad way. The only problem that we had is that this Dr. has a moustache. Not so bad you say? Well when you’re a patient looking up at the doctor that’s having you open your mouth as wide as possible and you happen to notice something that’s in that moustache and it happens to fall right into your mouth you tend to get a little grossed out! Needless to say from that point on my kids were paranoid each and every time we went back. But what were we suppose to do? We’d already payed for the braces. So the only real advice I have for you is to look at his moustache before you open your mouth!
