Equally important is to ask your son or daughter where they feel comfortable after the initial consultation. Did the orthodontist speak to your child and see what issues are important to them? Did he listen to you and your child, as well as explain what the procedures involve? Kids are very perceptive and their input is vital, as patients are more compliant when they know, trust and like their doctor. Location, hours, reasonable and customary fees, comfortable finan- cial arrangements, and accessibility are important issues also. Ask other members of the community including your son's or daughter's friends and even teachers. Is the reception room clean, friendly, and comfortable? Did you have to wait at all, or long for your appoint- ment? Was the orthodontist on schedule? Was he friendly? Can you receive an information packet about the office, orthodontist and treat- :1 ment philosophy? These are all important issues to consider. Lastly and very important is select your orthodontist on who truly cares for your child. When you have interviewed your orthodontist and feel comfortable that they enjoy relationships with kids and will treat your son or daughter as if they were part of his own extended family or friends, then you have found your family orthodontist.
