Richard Chan Orthodontics, LLC: Richard W. Chan, DDS, MS in Juneau, Alaska

During the process of searching for an orthodontist, we visited several to get their recommendations on how to proceed with my daughter's need for braces. Right from the beginning, Dr. Chan and his staff, were warm, friendly and accommodating. Dr. Chan explained his philosophy for treatment in terms that were easy for us to understand, follow, and most importantly, it was a philosophy we agreed with for treating our daughter as an individual according to her specific needs for orthodontia. So many places are a "one size fits all" and perform the exact same procedure on all of their patients. We visited an orthodontist who wanted to yank out permanent teeth, put braces on her as an 8 year old with the possibility of having to take them of and replace them at a later date. I appreciate Dr. Chan's desire to have the process be as simple as possible while getting only the very best result. And he absolutely achieved that. The fact that Dr. Chan and his staff were so kind and obviously really cared for my daughter was the incentive she needed to do exactly as she was instructed from a care and maintenance standpoint. The hard work of both Dr. Chan, his staff and my daughter, because she was so motivated, resulted in a beautiful smile in 22 months!
