Dr. Kent and his associates are the best!!! I had braces as a kid and my oldest daughter did too and our orthodontists were not even half as great as Dr. Kent and Associates! I feel very comfortable with them and how they treat my youngest daughter. They are always friendly and professional. The assistants and office staff are on the younger side but I think that's great because I feel that it helps the younger kids feel more connected and comfortable.The office is great from the decor to the video games in the waiting & treatment areas to the contest/games that they have. My daughter even won $50 for herself and $50 for her teacher last year for the Teacher of the Year contest and she had only been a patient for a few months. That was awesome! I've never heard of anything like this from any other orthodontic practice before. They offer their patients so many incentives such as a points program where you can earn points and redeem them for gift card prizes (my daughter really enjoys the Starbucks cards, Lol!) If anyone is in the market for braces, then highy recommend Dr. Kent and Associates. I give them 4 stars...the only reason I did not give 5 stars is because they do not have an office location in Durham where I live (but I gladly drive to Raleigh for their excellent serivce). ~Nicole G./Arianna C.~
