“OMG Dr. Cottingham is a miracle worker! I started at another orthodontist to begin my treatment, and he retired half way through. When I got to Dr. Cottingham, she said she could correct and fix the things the other orthodontist wouldn't! I was so upset to have to switch orthodontists, but it was a blessing in disguise, my teeth look absolutely amazing! ” — Samantha
“Getting braces as an adult was not something I was looking forward to but my experience at Cottingham Orthodontics has been great. My appointments are always running on time and the assistants are knowledgeable and friendly. Dr. Cottingham is amazing at her job and has a great personality as well!” - Stephanie
