I felt very supported during my treatment, and I’m very happy with the end results.

Perfect experience with McNamera for my daughter’s braces. My dentist recommended I switch to them... when our original orthodontist was taking more of a wait and see approach, she thought my daughter would benefit from earlier intervention. At the initial meeting, they laid out both options and the pros and cons - treatment now or wait. We decided to start early and she just finished summer before 8th grade - teeth look great. They made sure we understood every step of the process and always laid out what options we had and provided explanations on why they would choose a certain course. Both Dr.’s are great with kids and extremely knowledgeable. Their list of credentials, published papers, and the teaching they do at UM made me know we were getting the best and most well-informed care.read more

However, after seeing two other orthodontists... they were, by far, the kindest people I have ever experienced! they really took pride in the kindness and care they gave. I have never had a bad experience at this office. they were thorough with explanation of anything done, and always had the best staff who would have conversations with me and make me feel welcome. Thank you for giving me the smile i always wanted!read more

The professionalism and friendliness of the entire McNamara Orthodontics team is outstanding! ... Dr.'s Jim, Laurie and their entire staff provide excellent care in a friendly and respectful way. All aspects of the appointment processes are organized, efficient and they are so respectful of ones time. As a fellow dental professional, these are just a few of the reasons why I have been referring patients to McNamara Orthodontics over the years. And when the time came for my children to start ortho treatment there was no question who I wanted to provide this care for them! I'm so grateful to work with this amazing team!read more

I have been so pleased with the service and outcomes of the orthodontia work done for both of my... kids. They were both complex cases and required a few different stages of treatment. The team at McNamara are so professional, organized, and efficient. They’ve treated us so respectfully, with kindness and transparency in all ways. Particularly with COVID situation, they didn’t miss a beat and implemented safety protocols right away and kept the treatment schedule on track. Now that both kids are done I’m thinking of getting my own bite straightened out with them! Thank you to Laurie and the entire staff at McNamara!read more

I have brought all 4 of my kids here. They are great : professional, courteous, responsive. No... braces are inexpensive - but their pricing seems fair and clearly explained . Both the physicians are super smart and well regarded in their field, and also take the time to form a connection with the kids and their families. I highly recommend this practice.read more

My son attends the college away from home. His retainer was suddenly broken. I was scrambling to... find a good orthodontist in Ann Arbor for him yesterday and ended up luckily with exchanging several text messages with Laura at McNamara Orthodontics. Laura is very patient, friendly, knowledgeable, transparent and quick in providing all relevant information. I am particularly grateful that Laura is able to squeeze my son in for an appointment as a new patient this morning.My son went to the appointment today. He is pleased and is looking forward to his new retainer in two weeks.Thank you, Laura! As a parent, I feel that McNamara Orthodontics is the right place for away-from-home kids to receive orthodontic care.read more
