It may seem strange to enjoy going to see an orthodontist, but Dr. Fodero leads a team of women that are knowledgeable and experienced and always patient and friendly. Going back for orthodontics as an adult was not an easy choice. She and her crew have made it easily one of the best grown up decisions I've ever made. If you have a need for orthodontic work, go to Chatham Orthodontics.
