Great experience from the time of scheduling! Upon arrival we were met with a smile and warm welcome. We got right in to visit with Lisa as this was my 7 yr old sons first visit.

I am extremely grateful for the whole VanLaecken Orthodontics Team and everything they have done for me to achieve a healthy, confident and beautiful smile!! Throughout all of my visits, I... was welcomed by friendly faces and a whole team that provided outstanding customer service! The team always took the time to hear out any concerns I had with my smile and answered all of my questions. They provided wonderful knowledge and explained everything in great detail, which made me feel confident in every step of the process. Not only did they make me feel well taken care of but they also extended a helpful hand on a day that I had my toddler with me at the appointment. They brought her colors/coloring book, made a balloon for her out of a medical glove and put Paws Patrol on the TV to keep her occupied while they examined my teeth. It was above and beyond customer service and as a mother, I truly appreciated the kindness they showed my daughter. THANK YOU to the whole VanLaecken Orthodontics Team! My Invisalign journey with you has been a lovely experience!! I will happily recommend VanLaecken Orthodontics to all of my family and friends! 😊read more

Dr. Rob went above and beyond when our son took an elbow to his front teeth during a HS BBB game . It was a Saturday evening and an employee of his, (Courtney S )who knows us, told him how... a patient of his ended up with a couple loose front teeth from an elbow. He called us that evening , talked us through it and had us come in on Sunday. Super Bowl Sunday ! He was so understanding, positive and very caring. He had Mom feeling at ease and the patient was relaxed and comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Rob and VanLaecken Orthodontics .read more

They involve my daughter with decisions she can make (rubber band choices, etc.) and they explain everything they are going to do before they do it.

My 13 year old son has been under the care of Drs. Ryan and Robert VanLaecken for nearly one year. We have had multiple appointments thus far, and each experience has truly been top notch!... We receive adequate appointment reminders via text message (email option also available) which helps keep us compliant through the orthodontics process. We are consistently greeted by friendly, knowledgeable staff who are willing to go the extra mile to ensure each visit is a positive one. The wait times have been less than 5 minutes which makes me feel like they truly value our time as they do their best to get us in and out swiftly. The VanLaecken team work very hard to deliver the highest quality of care as evidence by efficient, effective and comfortable treatments that produce results that will last.In addition to "traditional" braces, the VanLaeckens are Premier Preferred Invisalign providers. The Invisalign treatment produces amazing results. I highly recommend this treatment based on my own personal experience with Invisalign!read more

Gage K.

My daughter is a new patient with VanLaecken. She had an appliance put in yesterday and was experiencing discomfort today. She seemed so upset about it that I called the after hours help... line when the office didn't answer, forgetting that it was Good Friday. I emphasized that it wasn't an emergency but was calling for advice. The woman who responded to my call was unbelievably gracious. Rather than rushing through my call, to my surprise, she offered to meet us at the office immediately to examine my daughter's mouth and see if there was something she could do to make her more comfortable, to avoid having to wait over a long holiday weekend. Within 10 minutes my daughter was in the chair and she immediately adjusted her appliance. (It's several hours later and her mouth feels great -- problem solved.)I'm frankly blown away by the kindness and concern I experienced today. We're new to town and could never have imagined this happening at the orthodontist we saw in the past. Everyone in the office has been so warm as well, alleviating my daughter's anxiety during the visits. The orthodontist came out personally to discuss her treatment with me in the waiting room at the last appointment. At our prior orthodontist I spoke primarily with the technicians -- the orthodontist was frequently rushing from patient to patient without much time to brief parents. I really appreciate the professionalism and personal care my daughter and I have experienced at VanLaecken.read more

I have had a couple of people assist me... with my braces, but have had Kasey the most. We always have a good time while she is adjusting things. Dr. Ryan is the best! People have asked me where I got my braces and who my doctor is. I have recommended VanLaecken Orthodontics to one and all. Even though there is an orthodontist in Huron, I would go to Aberdeen every time! Even though my braces will come off one of these months, I know I would be welcome back to visit.read more
