Number one on your list should be someone who is going to treat your son or daughter as if they were their own. Someone who is kind, caring and truly loves kids. You should set up a consultation with the orthodontist, which should be done at no charge. Then see how your child responds to the orthodontist and allow input in the decision from your son or daughter. Be sure that the Nelson Hersh DDS, MS Licensed Specialist orthodontist talks to both you and your son or daugh- ter, and answers any questions that either of you may have. Have your child talk at school to see what other children in braces say about where they recommend going. Experience is also very important. Be sure that the orthodontist has had suc- cessful experiences with all types of cases. It usually takes years to develop and fine tune skills for quality and consistent results. Location must be con- venient for you, as you will be scheduling appointments every month or so. The fees must be within reasonable and customary levels and hopefully the office has "patient friendly" payment arrangements. Hopefully the office has one orthodontist so you get consistent treatment with one philosophy, An owner orthodontist of the office will be around for follow up care and is not replaced periodically.
