Dr. Fanning and the staff at Fanning orthodontics are awesome. Our family was referred to him by Dr. Rachelle Shaw, pediatric dentist, here in Albuquerque. The first time we met, Dr. Fanning provided a FULL professional and comprehensive consulation and plan for two of my teenagers. It is important to note that at the consultiaion, I did not ever feel like I was a burden. He was very genuine and down to earth. More importantly, he made my children feel welcomed. At the time of the consultation, the price was a little too much for us even with the payment plan offered; however, we re-visited him about 9 mos-1 year later to start the services for my daughter. The records and previous quote was still honored and services provided almost immediately. The payment options worked for our family’s budget. I have never felt pressured about payments or anything else for that matter. In addition, the staff (love love love Debbie) has always been accomodating with appointments/schheduling. Dr. Fanning is very patient-centered. This is an important quality to have along with integirty and professionalism.. all of which are exemplified in Dr. Fanning as well as his staff. We have been with his office since early 2013, but our family will be moving very soon. Our family is relocating to another state and Dr. Fanning’s office was kind enough to research and find an orthdontist in the new state just minutes from our house!!! I can’t tell you how much I appreciated this extra service. Please note that I do not typically take time out to write reviews no matter how great the service is; however, I wrote this review because like so many moms and dads, I search the internet for information prior to getting services. I hope this review helps Dr. Fanning’s next patients.

We took our 8 year-old daughter to see Dr. Fanning for a second opinion after her general dentist recommended an orthodontic consultation for a missing adult tooth. While the orthodontist at the first place (a corporate-operated business) was knowledge and friendly, the personalized attention, detailed options, warmth, and genuine caring shown to us and our daughter by Dr. Fanning and his staff was unparalleled. We knew, without question, Dr. Fanning would be the one treating our daughter when the time comes for her to have orthodontic work. Thank you, Dr. Fanning, and all your staff for making us feel comfortable and confident in our choice!

My son is about 1 year into his projected 2 year ortho plan. So far our experience with Dr. Fanning and his staff has been excellent. Everyone at Dr. Fanning’s office has a great attitude so the appointments have not been a chore for our 14 year old. During our initial consultation Dr. Fanning took his time to explain how he intended to correct my son’s bite. We didn’t feel rushed and he answered all of our questions patiently. During every ortho apt since then they make sure that my son is comfortable with what ever appliance he is using and they always ask him for feed back. If something is uncomfortable they work to correct the problem and make sure that he is comfortable. So in summary Dr. Fanning is professional, fun with kids, appears to know his stuff and has his staff tuned into patient comfort as part of their job responsibility.

From the first time we met Dr. Fanning, he has made my son feel comfortable and at ease. His office staff is top notch too, and always does their best to accommodate our busy sports schedule with 2 boys! My son actually looks forward to going to his visits because Dr. Fanning takes the time to show his young patients that he cares about their teeth and their lives. Dr. Fanning has gone above and beyond for our family several times, even calling me after hours and on a holiday when I had a question. My son’s teeth are looking great now and our decision to go with Fanning Orthodontics was the best one we could have made. I wish all of our family’s health care providers were as fun, as knowledgeable, and as caring as Dr. Fanning

Dr.Fanning is the most kind hearted orthodontist. He truly cares for his patients, my daughter is only 9 and has a lot issues with her teeth, bite etc. she is so comfortable with him. His staff is also just as wonderful!

Dr. Fanning and his team do an amazing job making you feel like part of the Family. In and out in a timely fashion without being rushed or waiting past your appointment time. I highly recommend Dr Fanning and welcome his ability to show that he truly cares for his patients. He was doing such an amazing job with my family I decided to straighten my teeth as well. Best decision I’ve made. True Smile!
