Quality vs. Quantity

“Now serving #322…Now serving #322…Last call for #322!”

While “Take a Number” is expected for some of life’s situations…the Meat Market, the Fabric Store, the DMV…it should not be expected or accepted when it comes to your health care and the health care of your children. 

One continuing challenge for all orthodontists is to maintain the balance between the quantity of patients in active treatment and the quality of the treatment results. And you can bet…the balance between quantity and quality differs greatly between private/family owned orthodontic practices and large corporate-owned orthodontic practices. 

While corporate-owned practices may offer patients cheaper pricing…there are disadvantages that patients may experience as well. 

• Limited Selection of Treatment Options 
• Limited Doctor/Patient Time During Appointments 
• Longer Wait Times 

“To be quite honest, I can’t even remember the Orthodontist’s name. We only saw him during the initial exam...we saw his assistant for every other appointment.” Says one mom of her experience with a corporate-owned orthodontic practice. “And the wait time was ridiculous. We were never seen on time for our scheduled appointments.” 

 

At private/family owned orthodontic practices, like Lenz Orthodontics, you’ll never get treated like a number. Dr. Lenz's entire team believes each patient deserves personalized attention and the best orthodontic care available. We strive to make your visits enjoyable, so you'll feel like a family member from the very first visit. And because your time is valuable, we also ensure a minimum wait time. Dr. Lenz sees every patient at every visit and offers the latest technology and esthetic options, like clear braces and Invisalign for both teens and adults. 

 

At Lenz Orthodontics, the goal is to provide you with affordable, high-quality orthodontic treatment that fits your budget. That's why we offer competitive pricing with a variety of payment options, including a no-down-payment option, interest-free monthly payment plans, credit card payments and outside financing. 

 

So, if you are considering orthodontic treatment for yourself or a family member, do your research...because you should have to sacrifice anything when it comes to affordable, quality orthodontic care.
