Deluke Orthodontics, PC

The Cadillac (or is that Tesla?) of area orthodontics practices. We checked with a lot of local parents before coming here, as it had the reputation for being just a tad more expensive than competing practices, but both the results and the professionalism have made it well worth it thus far.
The business side is flawless: check ins and initial intake are handled very well, and we got good help when the very partial dental insurance reimbursement for one kid’s choppers went to the wrong place. Appointment times are kept very close, and are offered at school-​friendly times for routine visits (although more extensive things may have to be scheduled earlier in the day). Throw in amenities: parent coffee and tea (the good stuff), mostly-​working video game consoles (keeps the younger kids occupied) and a cheery if occasionally a bit crowded waiting area.
Dr. DeLuke’s extremely friendly with both parents and kids and explains things well without being condescending, and the medical assistant staff are also chipper and efficient without making it seem like you’re rushed. So it has that happy medium of being pretty quick but if you need more time to have things explained, not a problem.
One extra touch: one of my kids has a hearing problem for which he sees an ENT; Dr DeLuke took the time to get us a CD of the full scans he did for the orthodonture intake to show all the relevant parts of the head that we could take to the ENT at his next visit, who appreciated them. I take this as a sign he’s a medical professional first, as it were, and an orthodontist second, and that’s what you want in a specialty practitioner.
