"We were very pleased with our experience. Dr. Thurman and his staff always went above and beyond to make my daughter feel comfortable. They are 100% about the patient! The atmosphere is always fun and friendly and I think you can really tell what a great doctor he is by how he treats his employees. My daughter got her braces off yesterday and her teeth are gorgeous. We recommend Dr. Thurman to everyone we know."
"Dr. Thurman gave our oldest such a beautiful smile our twins could not wait for their turn as well. It started with the kids club back on 19th street to the follow up visits on Brimhall. Thinking of going somewhere else did not feel right so, yesterday doctor put braces on our second daughter. The Thurman office is effficiant, professional, friendly and fun. We are treated like family and we feel right at home, thank you to everyone at the Thurman office."
