Our family has had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Leavitt and his team! He has been absolutely amazing with all three of my kids—so patient, kind, and great at helping them feel comfortable during every visit. What I appreciate most is how proactive he is with early preventative care. He always takes the time to explain what's happening, offers thoughtful solutions, and focuses on setting each of my kids up for the easiest and healthiest path as they grow. His approach has given us so much confidence that we're making the right decisions for their smiles

I realized I never got around to leaving a review, even though I completed my orthodontic treatment in April 2026. Better late than never! 😅 I had an excellent experience with the entire team. From the very first consultation, everyone was professional, friendly, and made me feel comfortable. They took the time to explain every step of my treatment, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood what to expect. The office is always clean, organized, and appointments run on time. The staff is welcoming and genuinely cares about their patients. Throughout my treatment, I felt confident that I was receiving high-quality care, and the results exceeded my expectations. One thing I learned from my own experience is that achieving great results also requires commitment on the patient’s part. Following the treatment plan, wearing your appliances as instructed, and keeping up with your appointments makes a big difference. In my case, staying committed was an important part of achieving the smile I wanted. I highly recommend this orthodontic office to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and professional team. Thank you to the entire team for helping me achieve a healthier, more confident smile!

Everything about Whitewater Orthodontics deserves 5 stars; their office is clean and inviting, everyone you see from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out is friendly, they’re ridiculously efficient and helpful, and our kids actually get excited about their appointments.

Susan K.
Was skeptical at first when my kids Dentist referred us to white water orthodontists. First visit was a consultation. Before we left the car I told my daughter to choose between them and her previous orthodontist clinic. Before the consultation was done she had made the choice. " mommy I love it here". As a mom I had done my own observation and from the start to the finish they were all friendly, professional and above all it just felt at home. Today we went back and the atmosphere was still the same. White water orthodontist clinic at Parkland gained another client Will be seeing you again soon. Continue with the great work y'all are doing

I had my braces for about 3 years & everyone who has worked on my teeth are beyond wonderful! Very nice and compassionate and educated! My teeth are straight and perfect!! I just need to get an implant for my missing tooth now! I have also had to bring my daughter with me for some appointments and they are so beyond nice to her! She’s 6 years old now and gets a token to be able to get a little toy out of the machine. Love this place and the people! Thank you all so much! I will happily recommend this office to any and everyone! Also, for my missing tooth they painted my retainer so it doesn’t look bad and that proves the Dentist cares!

Anna N.
I would like to express my gratitude to my orthodontist Dr Leavitt, for the professional approach and attentive attitude throughout the treatment with braces. From the very beginning, the doctor explained the treatment plan in detail, answered all questions and helped me get ready for the result. All procedures were carried out carefully and without unnecessary discomfort, the doctor was always interested in my well-being. I really liked that each visit was accompanied by clear explanations about the work done and further steps. Now, after removing the braces, I see a stunning result - my teeth are straight, my smile is beautiful and my self-confidence has only grown. Thank you very much for your professionalism, attention and care!
Kristina K.
On to our 3rd child being in braces with Whitewater Orthodontics and couldn't be happier
Desirae S.
I had such a great experience—everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming! The space was clean and beautifully maintained, which made me feel at ease right away. I believe her name was Charlene—she was especially kind and made me feel so comfortable, which meant a lot to me since I’m very self-conscious about my smile. I actually teared up when they told me I could be scheduled for braces as soon as the middle of next month. I had expected I might need extractions due to crowding, but they reassured me that likely won’t be necessary. I’m beyond excited to start this journey with them and can’t wait to come back for my braces!
Brigette B.
Great experience! We felt very welcomed and comfortable! Thank you for being great!
Telena H.
