We love Dr. Al! Dr. Ellender and his staff made my daughter and I feel confident and comfortable in her treatment plan. After years of struggling with image issue due to crooked teeth, my daughter gains confidence with each visit, knowing that Dr. Al is providing her with excellent care towards a beautiful, straight smile. We can't imagine going anywhere else and highly recommend this practice! Oh and the cookies too :)
