text: In case you didn’t know, we love our patients. We get to share a special part of their path to a life-changing smile. From the first consultation through each visit until treatment ends, it’s a joy getting to know each patient and family. We feature patient stories and results all across our social media, YouTube channel, and website.
  We recently sat down with Marci, Nicole, Kathy, Chris to hear more about their experience with Oppenhuizen Orthodontics while navigating care for themselves and their families. Although the journey to a masterpiece smile looks different for each patient – from issues with personal discomfort and health priorities to routine treatment with braces – the results are always something to celebrate.
  Excellent Patient Experience is Our Passion, for You and Your Family
  A common theme among our patients is “whole-family” treatment. Whether patients start with us or come to us from another location or provider, they tend to stay. In fact, some of the patients who received treatment with us as teenagers now bring their own children for braces. That means we’re ensuring that great smiles live on as a family legacy.
  Why do patients stick with us for the long haul?
  Because we value our patient’s time, we strive to create a great experience, we respect each family’s budget and concerns, and we have a proven reputation as an orthodontic provider in the Holland and Zeeland communities.
  A few more reasons you might hear in the testimonial video include:
  - Punctuality. We stay on time, so you can too. It’s as simple as that.
  - Patient comfort. Our patients enjoy a relaxed, no-pressure environment throughout their treatment process. We never want discomfort to get in the way of treatment that can help someone receive a better smile and quality of life. Our experienced staff and Dr. Oppenhuizen offer a down to earth approach and a sense of humor.
  - Patient education. Every patient receives a personal consultation at the start of their journey. The purpose of this consultation is to ensure you or your family members are knowledgeable and completely comfortable with your decision. Dr. Oppenhuizen walks through each treatment option and the steps involved. You’ll have time to answer any questions, no matter how small. “I really appreciate that Dr. Oppenhuizen is a great teacher,” says Chris.
  - Options and flexibility. We’re proud to offer multiple locations in West Michigan for maximum flexibility, whether you’re on vacation or seeking convenience during the school year. You can even start a virtual consultation experience online today, just stop in if an emergency strikes unexpectedly.
  - Passion. We take pride in your smile, and we want you to love the results of treatment. Dr. Oppenhuizen “blends” artistry with proven orthodontic treatment methods to truly craft a smile. This approach and attention to detail stands out from routine orthodontic treatments that are applied as “one size fits all.”
  Commitment to excellent service and patient-first core values have defined our practice for decades, and we’re proud to feature feedback from those we’ve served.
  “If I could sum up our experience with Oppenhuizen Orthodontics, it would be the word excellence. I feel like they do that in everything that they do.” – Nicole
