We entrusted Dr. Lauren Ballinger with my daughter's orthodontic care beginning in 2019. Nearly seven years later, our family is devastated by the outcome. My daughter was born without one permanent lateral incisor and with a peg lateral on the other side. She also had an impacted canine that needed to be surgically exposed and orthodontically moved into position. The ultimate goal was to properly position her teeth and roots to create space for two permanent dental implants. After the first surgery to expose the canine, the... read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. Today I took my 3 kids back in. One of my kids has down syndrome and one has severe anxiety surrounding dental appts. Dr Lauren and her team are so patient and loving I would drive way more than our current 3 hour drive to see them. I wish I could’ve taken pictures today but my hands were full. My kiddo with anxiety had a very hard time letting the team remove her expander. The last try involved dr Lauren writing out on paper ‘I can do this’ and ‘I am going to be okay’ and had my kiddo copy ... read more

We have been very pleased with the results from our daughter’s first phase of treatment. We started when she was 3 and really needed a “nervous child”friendly provider in order to be successful.

I appreciated the very thorough consultation in the beginning with all the cost details, scans, discussions etc. Billing was simple and straightforwa... read more

Dr. Lauren and the Good to Grow staff are very nice, but the quality of care diminished throughout the 18 months that we spent with the practice. My son’s treatment plan changed often without any explanation. This was very confusing, and I constantly felt the need to do my own research and self advocate. They also don’t have a good system for removing the fixed expanders, resulting in a traumatic experience for the child. We ended up leaving and seeking out a different provider.

Let’s start with the good: Dr. Ballinger knows her stuff and took good care of our kid's mouth. His airway was restricted and through a palate expander, he was able to get significant jaw growth which we are happy about. Her team is friendly and excellent with kids. The office is kid-friendly, though it is open-concept so you don’t have a lot of privacy. The bad is quite long, but the TL;DR; is that she does not like being challenged at all and acted very unprofessionally towards us. It was quite alarming that a medical prof... read more
