Why Choose a Family-Owned Orthodontist vs. a Corporate Practice

When it comes to your healthcare, it makes sense to seek a provider with the education and experience to give you the best care. But you also want a caring professional who gives you personalized and attentive care every visit. In our society, we’re encouraged to believe that bigger is better, but that isn’t the case when choosing an orthodontist. 

With corporate orthodontic offices becoming more prevalent, you may wonder why to choose a family-owned orthodontist vs a corporate practice to give you a healthy smile. Let’s look at the differences between these options for orthodontic treatment and how choosing Dietrich Orthodontics can give you the best results. 

What are corporate orthodontic clinics?

In recent years, corporate orthodontic clinics have burst onto the dental care scene and keep popping up in communities all over the country. Sometimes, these clinics are founded by dentists who join together under one roof. However, many are owned by large companies, with no orthodontists involved in running the practice. 

These corporate orthodontic offices will employ one or more orthodontists who will come and go, so it’s common to see a different doctor every visit. This takes away from the personal experience that a local orthodontist provides and can make your appointments less comfortable than if you were working with the same team at every visit. 

Corporate orthodontic clinics can provide quality care, but you’ll feel like just another number in most cases. When it comes to your health and well-being, it can be frustrating and uncomfortable to feel rushed, so it’s important to find a provider who always puts your best interests first. 

The benefits of choosing a family-owned orthodontic office

The primary difference between corporate and family-owned orthodontic offices is the personalized care and attention to detail. When you choose Dietrich Orthodontics, you’ll see Dr. Dietrich at every visit—never a stranger who doesn’t know your story and make you feel comfortable. 

Our one-on-one approach guarantees that you get the time and attention you deserve while giving Dr. Dietrich the best opportunity to diagnose and treat your condition accurately. We’ll build relationships with you and your family throughout your treatment, ensuring you feel valued at every step. 

Choosing a private, family-owned orthodontist is a great way to ensure continuity of care. Since Dr. Dietrich and our team know you personally, you won’t have to go through your entire health history every time you visit our Canton or Alliance office. This will keep your appointments running smoothly and always on time. 

When you choose Dietrich Orthodontics for your orthodontic treatment, you’ll receive a treatment plan customized completely to your unique needs. You’ll never find recycled treatment plans from similar cases, and your orthodontic team will take as much time as you need to explain the details of your plan and help you feel comfortable. 

Lastly, choosing a privately owned or family-owned practice like Dietrich Orthodontics ensures that the doctor caring for your family is the owner and stakeholder. Dr. Dietrich is an employer and a small business owner as well as your practitioner. He takes great care in the service he provides, not only in the clinic but in each and every phone call and interaction with his team. From beginning to end, Dr. Dietrich and his team care about you and make decisions to best serve their community individually. Not from a corporate viewpoint.
