My kids have been seeing Dr. Updyke for 12 years. He is very easy going & works within my budget and timeframe. He tells you whether a recommendation is medically necessary or just for cosmetic purposes. Dr. Updyke's super friendly staff is always running ontime, and it's pretty easy to get an appointment. We've seen Dr. Updyke for routine care, emergency care, orthodonture - everything! He stresses preventative orthodonture, which has saved us much money and heartache. My kids even like going to the dentist! (OK - that could be the videogames in the examining area....)
