Kurt A. Pierce, DDS MS,

604 Solarex Court, Frederick, MD 21703

"Worst- horrible experience for my kid that he never ever wants to go to dental office and scared. Wasted tons of money and time. Some one was right- treats kids like a cattle. Is there any zero star rating so I can give thumps down for? Never ever recommend to anyone not even my enemy. If you didn't sign the contract yet - just runaway in the opposite direction and never look back..."

"Fraudulent. Infuriating. Waste of your time. Years later I am somehow still running into problems even after 2 rounds of braces and at least 8 years of seeing him. We wasted upwards of $8,000 to now be told I have to see a reputable orthodontist to correct the work that was done and that he missed. I wish I could give 0 stars."

"Garbage. So glad I pulled my child from his care. There are far more competent options at better prices. Not once did any of us feel comfortable with him. Also, other orthodontists have updated their technology, this guy is using the same methods I experienced as a kid in the 80s. I was floored when I saw current technology actually put in place elsewhere. Do you and your kid a favor and shop by reputation. One star because it's the lowest I can go."

"Adult & child in our family got braces; one metal/ceramic, and one lingual. Dr. Pierce explained the process and expectations, and scheduled regular appointments to meet our goals. He's a former NFL player (really!), so he might be a bit direct ... but don't let his demeanor fool you. He's always accessible & understanding, and will take the time to address concerns. Recommend you meet him for yourself before deciding whether he's a good fit for you (rather than just read online reviews)."

"absolutely awful. i wasted my money and time here. he left wires sticking out everywhere and left my mouth bloody and in pain constantly. do not go here. he doesn’t care, nor is he friendly. he broke a bracket off my braces and didn’t repair it, and left it as more broke off. i waited 6 months with only half of my brackets on my braces. DO NOT GO HERE."
