We love coming here a few friends recommend us Dr. McCarty and Dr. Chen. We had an unpleasant experience somewhere else unfortunately, but when my son started his treatment more than a year ago we couldn’t ask for a better place for both of my kids. We are very happy with Texas Orthodontic, thank you to all their wonderful staff too!

We had an awesome experience. Dr. Chen swooped in and saved the day, finishing up my daughter’s treatment when we had to switch orthodontists. He was professional, personable, and exceptionally easy to work with. We can’t say thank you enough! Her teeth look beautiful!:)

The staff and doctors are amazing! My son is autistic and they had no issues at all with his quirks. They explained everything really well and made my son very comfortable and even excited about braces. It went better than I could have ever expected. Thank you!
