Meet Our Team

Veronica P.

Literally some of the best people I’ve ever encountered. They made my entire experience so easy, and somehow knew exactly what concerns I had before I ever voiced it. My teeth are so straight, it’s almost embarrassing to smile. 16356/10.

Priya S.

I came to Dr. Richards for Invisalign about 12 years after he originally did my braces and I needed a slight adjustment due to not wearing my retainers. They even gave me a $500 discount on my Invisalign due to being a return customer. Very pleased with the result both times. All the staff are very friendly and professional. Special thanks to Ellie and Hannah.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much Priya! We are so honored you chose us for your treatment twice! We appreciate your kind words!

Lauren R.

I really cannot say enough good things about Dr. Richards and his staff. I received orthodontic care from him from when I was about 9 to 13 years old, and have only positive memories of how much he cared about me as a patient and how well he and his whole staff treated me throughout my many appointments. Now over 15 years later, I’ve had to go in a couple of times to get new retainers after dental work, etc., and when I go in, he still remembers me from all those years ago and takes the time to catch up. I really appreciate how I can still have a working relationship with his office so many years after being an active patient. All of the staff I’ve interacted with are extremely kind and accommodating. And, on top of the interpersonal positives, I LOVE my teeth!! I am so grateful for the work he did to correct all the functional issues as well as cultivating an aesthetically pleasing smile that I am extremely proud of. I would recommend him to anyone of any age needing orthodontic care!

Response from the owner:Lauren we loved seeing you again in the office! We are so happy to see old patients and see where life has taken them! We are so happy we get to continue to help you with your orthodontics needs! Come by anytime!

Cynthia O.

I went to school with Dr. Richard’s and he was always one of the smartest in the class and a great person. He’s given all of my children beautiful smiles and was even able to quickly straighten my smile with Invisalign in 1 year. His office is friendly, efficient and supportive. I’d definitely recommend Michael Richards Orthodontics!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your sweet words, Cynthia! We greatly appreciate it!

Two of my children had their braces done by Dr. Richards. He did such an excellent job. It inspired me to get them myself and I am so glad I did!
I am sad for my other two children that did not get them done here because we didn't live close at the time. I had to bring one of them to Dr. Richards just to get them "fixed" after a different orthodontist did not do the same top-notch job.
Thanks Dr. Richards!!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your sweet review! We're glad we could help take care of your family and their smiles.

Tammy C.

I just got finished with my second time through Ortho. and Dr. Richards and the entire staff were outstanding!! As an adult seeking my second time through braces and did not want traditional braces again. The staff at Dr. Richard's office was great in walking me through all my options and Dr Richards was very upfront about my shorten roots(which was mostly likely caused by my first time through Ortho treatment as a teenager) and the possibility of failure. Dr Richards did everything diagnostically and reviewed it with me before given me a treatment plan that I was fully on board with. We went with Sparks Invisalign and I couldn't be happier with the outcome!! The Dental Monitoring from home was super easy and convenient. I had support from their dental monitor if I needed it, I could text her at any time through the app. Or if I need them in person, they were more than willing to take me in office! I would 100% recommend Dr. Richards and his staff for your ortho needs you will not regret it!!! My teeth look fabulous!! Thank you Dr. Richards and Team!!

Response from the owner:Tammy, thank you for writing such a kind review! We are so glad to hear how great your experience with Spark and Dental Monitoring was for your treatment. While we will miss seeing you for your in-office visits, please don't hesitate to reach out if there is anything we can help with in the future!

Brian B.

The doctor and staff are SO INCREDIBLY KIND and compassionate, this making a difference. They will worked with my child making them feel comfortable, which is not easy for them to feel with their social anxiety, OCD, ADHD, etc. Their confidence has improved as has their self esteem. The doctor and staff have changed my opinion on the healthcare system and on dentists😅 for the better…so much better. I literally cannot say enough good about them and LITERALLY cannot think of one single negative of our experience there and that is 100% fact. The quality of the work and expertise is second to none and I have been to dentists all over the world. One could not ask for a better practice to be a part of as that’s how you feel; not so much a client but more as a friend.

Response from the owner:You are too nice, Brian! Thanks for your kind words about our office and more importantly, trusting us with your child's smile. We are so pleased to hear how happy you both are!

Jill S.

My daughter recently got her braces off, and the results were top notch! Dr. Richards did an exceptional job, and it's clear to see he treats every patient like family, and provides the best possible care. He was kind and remarkably patient with us, even when we broke protocol, and it cost him extra time and work. To top it off, he is remarkably personable, detail oriented, and engages with each patient like a caring friend. We are very pleased that we chose Dr. Richards to be our orthodontist, and highly recommend him to anyone looking for great care and results.

Response from the owner:Jill, thank you so much for leaving this kind review and sharing your experience! Nothing makes us happier than hearing how pleased our patients (& families) are with their new smiles. We are so excited for you!

Jett S.

I have came here many times and they give you wonderful treatments! I honestly cannot thank you guys any more!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words, Jett! We're thrilled to hear that you've had wonderful experiences with us. Your continued trust and support mean a lot to our team. We look forward to serving you again!

Philip W.

Dr. Richards and his staff were very knowledgeable, patient and understanding of my concerns and needs regarding my dental health. I found it to be a rather stress free processing while getting new removable retainers for my teeth. I highly recommend them.

Response from the owner:We are so glad to hear your positive words, Philip! Thanks for trusting us with your retainer care.

Andrè B.

A wonderfully professional, accessible, and enjoyable experience & environment. Michael Richards is a miracle worker for pearly whites.

Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your thoughts and leaving us a kind review! We love hearing and knowing that our patients are happy with their smiles and their time spent here!
