Read What Our Happy Patients Have to Say!

We absolutely have loved Flannigan Orthodontics- both my kids went for early screenings every 6 months. The fact that we never felt rushed into multiple rounds of braces for no reason was a huge bonus. The staff are wonderful and most recently both my kids (11) have met Dr.Nudera and were very comfortable with him. Which is awesome because we were all a bit worried with the change over. He was so kind to them and explained everything to me as well. We highly recommend this office for orthodontic care!!
The level of professionalism and compassion here is outstanding. The staff were especially amazing with my child, who has autism. They were patient, respectful, and created a calm environment that made the visit go smoothly. We felt supported the entire time.
Everyone was ssssooo nice! I was expecting to go to an office where I’d be pressured into work my daughter may or may not need, then pushed into a credit card when I said I won’t be able to afford the full amount of expensive work, with uncouth doctors and standoffish staff. BUT to my surprise everyone was so friendly, conservative with the braces that will need to be done at a later time, and the candy counter was the cherry on top! Thank you everyone for such a great experience. They speak to you in easy to understand words, no scary medical terms I can’t understand, awesome prizes for the kids! Made me feel welcome and so much more comfortable with going to dentists. 👍🏼😄 can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Flanagan’s office.
What an amazing office! As we arrived for our very first visit, we saw a “welcome new patients” sign with my son’s name on it. He smiled so big. We open the door and immediately know this place is special. The warmth and friendliness of the staff was felt from the reception desk all the way through the exam/consult and as we left. My son, who is only 8, was a little nervous about going to the orthodontist, but after that initial visit, I have to say he is excited about going back. He felt comfortable with everyone. They explained things so he could easily understand and take better care of his teeth. I can’t say enough about the staff and doctor here…they are just the best!
Lori is the best she made us feel welcome and answered all of our questions!!! We are exited to start treatment!!
My son is a new patient and we have had a wonderful experience so far. All the staff has been so kind, prepared us for what is to come with orthodontics and has answered questions patiently. It is also wonderful that they have little prizes and candy for their patients at the end of each visit. Can not recommend this place enough!
So accommodating and they put the individual first. My daughter has autism and they went with the flow. This is my second kid with braces. I truly feel like they care. Highly recommend
Always friendly, knowledgeable, timely and a very well run and organized office. Would endorse wholeheartedly.
Such a wonderful staff very kind and professional.

Easy access to building. Well greeted by staff. Technician was very friendly and professional. Diagnostic equipment showed my situation. Dr. Flanagan was friendly and professional discussion of my options and treatment.
Great service, loved how they are very good at explaining what they will be doing and why. Very nice staff!! We look forward to having Flanagan and his staff as our family Orthodontic office!!

We love Flanagan Orthodontics! Everyone is so friendly & the office has a very welcoming feel.
I needed a new retainer and scheduled an appointment. Upon arriving, the office was very clean and all staff were super kind and helpful. My appointment went quickly and I’ll be able to have my retainer soon. I highly recommend this for both children and adults.
Always so friendly and professional.
Great staff to make your appointment pleasurable. Office design brings smiles and warmth to your visit. All questions answered and expectations of what my smile can be.

Always friendly and helpful, and so quick to get retainer replacement for my daughter!
They very helpful, went above and beyond to help me even with stuff they didn’t have too, you want to be in good hands, this is the place ! I promise
Our first time and will highly recommend. The front desk staff is super friendly, Lori is amazing and was very thorough and helpful. Dr Flanagan is also amazing. Explained everything clearly and answered my questions before I could even ask them. I left the office feeling very comfortable about my daughters treatment plan. My daughter Briella felt very comfortable.
Staff is amazing and was very comforting to my 7 yr old daughter who was very unsure. Highly recommended. From the receptionists, to Lauri and Dr Flanagan, our experience was fantastic.
I came in for a consultation for tooth straightening and I could not have had a better visit! Everyone was super friendly, Dr. Flanagan explained things very thoroughly, and Lauri was gentle with the scans and a joy to talk to. She made understanding the finance options super easy, too. Even if I don’t go through with the straightening, I’ll still be telling people to go their for their orthodontics needs!
I’m always comfortable at Dr Flanagan’s office! These people take care of everything from beginning to end treatment and ever after! Big thank you to everyone in the office for the amazing service my family has received.
