Why Patients Choose Nudera

OMG. THEE BEST EXPERIENCE!!! Ok this HAS to be the best team in the area! If you’re looking for the orthodontics out there, I can’t recommend Flanagan Orthodontics enough! From start to finish, the entire team made every visit feel welcoming, fun, and stress-free. Their Halloween costumes every year were legendary 😂 and honestly made appointments something to look forward to. What really stood out to me was how patient and kind they were no matter what. Broken retainer? Popped wire? Multiple “uhhh… I did it again” moments? 😅 Never once did they make me feel bad about it. They always took care of me with a smile and made the process easy. Iykyk lol. Professional, caring, fun, and just an all-around amazing team. Hands down the best orthodontic office out there! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place that truly treats you like family
Dr. Jim is knowledgeable, explains why and what he is doing and is quite friendly. I believe his involvement is a plus to my health. Welcome to Rockford.
My experience with Dr. Flanagan and his staff has been an exemplary experience. Most dread going to a dentist, this outfit will change your mind. Lauri Cox is the face of this company. She worked with me through a very difficult time in my life. (I got hit by a semi on my motorcycle). The year of recovery delayed my getting Invisiline. She reassured me that when I was ready they would be there for me. Lauri guided me through the financial aspect of getting invisiline in a way that worked for my situation. I can attest that all of Dr. Flanagan's staff are very helpful and professional now that I am wearing my first retainer. I am very grateful to Lauri and Dr. Flanagan's team. The new partners are very affable and friendly. They answered my questions and adjusted my retainer a bit. The staff that support them continue to provide excellent service to clients.
It was fast and the assistants engaged in talking with me and my brother a lot, they were very nice as well as Jim.
First time meeting Dr Bob and was super friendly and knowledgeable, so happy to be here
Lori and Dr Jim were amazing. Explained everything to both Logan and myself. Very friendly and informative. Appointment was easy to make and when we got there the staff was friendly. They explained everything that was going to happen and what to expect. Easy to work with. Highly recommend!
I loved everything about our experience. Everyone was great.
The staff is wonderful. So welcoming and professional. They do great work. Would highly recommend.
They are such kind gentlemen, and are skilled with what they do.
Genuinely was very efficient & amazing service. Very clean facility too, definitely recommend coming here!
My son’s consultation was a great experience. Everyone was so nice and extremely friendly. We even learned about the old Olympic sport of Snow Ballet (Dancing)…LOL
Great experience! Everyone was amazing with my daughter and made her feel completely comfortable. She’s excited to go back!
Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Flannigan and staff made the whole process easy and enjoyable. I will highly recommend this location
We absolutely have loved Flannigan Orthodontics- both my kids went for early screenings every 6 months. The fact that we never felt rushed into multiple rounds of braces for no reason was a huge bonus. The staff are wonderful and most recently both my kids (11) have met Dr.Nudera and were very comfortable with him. Which is awesome because we were all a bit worried with the change over. He was so kind to them and explained everything to me as well. We highly recommend this office for orthodontic care!!
The level of professionalism and compassion here is outstanding. The staff were especially amazing with my child, who has autism. They were patient, respectful, and created a calm environment that made the visit go smoothly. We felt supported the entire time.
Everyone was ssssooo nice! I was expecting to go to an office where I’d be pressured into work my daughter may or may not need, then pushed into a credit card when I said I won’t be able to afford the full amount of expensive work, with uncouth doctors and standoffish staff. BUT to my surprise everyone was so friendly, conservative with the braces that will need to be done at a later time, and the candy counter was the cherry on top! Thank you everyone for such a great experience. They speak to you in easy to understand words, no scary medical terms I can’t understand, awesome prizes for the kids! Made me feel welcome and so much more comfortable with going to dentists. 👍🏼😄 can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Flanagan’s office.
What an amazing office! As we arrived for our very first visit, we saw a “welcome new patients” sign with my son’s name on it. He smiled so big. We open the door and immediately know this place is special. The warmth and friendliness of the staff was felt from the reception desk all the way through the exam/consult and as we left. My son, who is only 8, was a little nervous about going to the orthodontist, but after that initial visit, I have to say he is excited about going back. He felt comfortable with everyone. They explained things so he could easily understand and take better care of his teeth. I can’t say enough about the staff and doctor here…they are just the best!
Lori is the best she made us feel welcome and answered all of our questions!!! We are exited to start treatment!!
My son is a new patient and we have had a wonderful experience so far. All the staff has been so kind, prepared us for what is to come with orthodontics and has answered questions patiently. It is also wonderful that they have little prizes and candy for their patients at the end of each visit. Can not recommend this place enough!
So accommodating and they put the individual first. My daughter has autism and they went with the flow. This is my second kid with braces. I truly feel like they care. Highly recommend
Always friendly, knowledgeable, timely and a very well run and organized office. Would endorse wholeheartedly.
Dr. Flanagan keeps you updated with the progress at each appointment. He is very kind and the staff are just as awesome.
Such a wonderful staff very kind and professional.
Professional, clean, reasonable, great team.
Easy access to building. Well greeted by staff. Technician was very friendly and professional. Diagnostic equipment showed my situation. Dr. Flanagan was friendly and professional discussion of my options and treatment.
