Weathers Charles W, DDS

I have been an Orthodontic Assistant for eight years, and had the opportunity to work for a couple, including Dr. Weathers, and observe others through work-​in interviews. I had my braces done by Dr. Nowlin, who is now retired, and if I had to be re-​treated, or if my son were old enough for braces, then I would choose Dr. Weathers in a heartbeat.
He is passionate about his work and it is evident in all aspects of his practice. He, not the assistants, works on his patients. That makes appointment times and length of treatment time shorter. Other places offer a treatment plan and full consult at the first appointment, but Dr. Weathers does not because he STUDIES each case. You are not offered a one-​size-​fits-​all plan, rather x-​rays are diagramed, casts are measured, and pictures are studied to give you a realistic expectation. You wouldn’t want to be at the end of treatment and run into problems that could have possibly been revealed in that study. If you are investing time and money, then you would want time and detail given to your case.
The staff treats you like family and always goes above and beyond. Appointments are offered at convenient times, and you will be in and out every time.
The only down side is that they do not FILE insurance claims, BUT they do work with most plans and provide you with everything except postage for mailing the claim. Orthodontic benefits are not like basic benefits, in that you will very likely receive the maximum benefit regardless of being in– or out– of network. For example, if you have a $ 1000 orthodontic benefit with Metlife, they will likely pay that full amount with any Orthodontist you choose, not just someone in-​network.
Dr. Weathers has years of experience creating beautiful smiles and is highly recommended around town. Online reviews are a good start for information, but they aren’t always reliable. Some places offer incentives for them, so people who aren’t even patients can write them. Most orthodontists offer free consultations, so if you have the time, check with a few and compare.
Hope this review has been helpful!

My father is an orthodontist, so I knew I was going to be picky when it came to choosing an orthodontist for my three sons (unfortunately my father practices in another state).
After meeting with several doctors in Waco, I chose Dr. Weathers and have been very pleased with my choice. Unlike many other orthodontic offices, where most of the work is done in assembly-​line fashion by a bunch of assistants, Dr. Weathers is very hands-​on and does almost everything himself.
Although there is no big screen TV or cappuccino maker in the waiting room, Dr. Weathers’ fees are very reasonable. His schedule runs on-​time and his receptionist Laurie always does her best to accommodate us with after school appointments.
