Being in the service industry for most of my working career, I completely understand the importance of exemplary customer service. You and your staff have completely exhibited such service. It has always been a wonderful treat to fill my appointments. I sincerely appreciate everything you have done for me. I am extremely thankful for what you have helped me achieve. Bergsma and her staff are always friendly and professional and do a wonderful job working with my kids. It's never too late to get braces!

With three kids having orthodontic interventions, we have spent lots of time at Dr. Bergsma's office. The staff is welcoming and friendly, extremely knowledgeable and helpful in all areas. Dr. Bergsma's soft spoken nature and ease helps the kids feel safe with the unknown. The office is conveniently located. During pandemic times, all protocols in place made us feel confident we were as safe as can be. We are extremely happy with the treatment received and would highly recommend Dr. Bergsma.

My daughter had an orthodontic emergency while we were on vacation and Dr. Bergsma and her staff were so gracious to fit us in same-day and give excellent counsel to fix the issue. Dr. Bergsma was gentle and kind to my hesitant daughter, explaining everything along the way so she wouldn't be nervous. Grateful for their willingness to help out-of-towners!

We have used Dr. Bergsma as a family for around 2 decades, with 3 patients receiving care thus far. The office staff are kind, professional and easy to work with. She fixed the teeth of two family members (beautifully) and turned me away for orthodontic services because she felt my problems would autocorrect, which they did. She offered an affordable, interest free payment plan and sends email reminders for appointments and payments. I encourage you to consider this office for orthodontic needs, should they arise.

We love Dr. Bergsma and her staff! They're always friendly, efficient, on time and helpful. As parents of two (eventually three!) kids who need orthodontic care, we truly appreciate their payment plans, and the cost seems just right. We highly recommend this office to anyone looking for five star orthodontic care!

My daughter started her orthodontic experience at about 10 years of age. She went through expansion, braces and retainer. She always had a positive interaction with everyone in the office right from the beginning. The office atmosphere is relaxed and Dr. Bergsma comes out with a report after each visit. My daughter now has a corrected alignrd bite as well as a beautiful smile! I would definitely recommend Dr. Sara to anyone looking for a caring and quality experience. I will always be thankful we chose her.

Both of my daughters have had their braces done by Dr. Bergsma and now have beautiful smiles to prove it! We couldn't be more pleased with the results, the staff, the facility, the professionalism and at the same time the warm, friendliness of all. I am pleased to highly recommend Dr. Sara Bergsma to anyone needing an orthodontist.

As a grandmother with my teenage grandson needing braces, I had heard very high praise in the community for Dr. Bergsma's skills and her excellent staff. Two years later my grandson has one of the most beautiful smiles you could wish for! I liked that the staff did not get excited when a wire broke and got us an appointment as soon as possible. The office environment is very calm (and clean) and in addition I was able to work out a payment plan that did not overly strain my budget. Lastly, the orthodontic plan for my grandson was very detailed and both he and I liked knowing what was ahead in his treatment. Thank you Dr. Bergsma and Staff! Barbara Weber

Our experience with Dr. Sara Bergsma and her office staff has been wonderful! Both of our children are patients and because of her excellent reputation, we never thought twice about where to take them for their orthodontic care. She has consistently exceeded our expectations and her staff goes out of their way to make our kids feel welcome and comfortable during each appointment.
Our family has been particularly impressed with the professionalism and high quality treatment offered at Dr. Bergsma's office. The results are amazing and we recommend her without hesitation.
