My name is Byron Pritchard and I am thirty-nine years old. I have a beautiful wife named Pamela, a seven-year-old daughter named Hannah and a five-year-old son named Harrison.

We live in Fayetteville in the Eastover area of Cumberland County.

"Braces, at your age," was a question that I received from close friends and family. My personal dentist had been after me for years to look into getting braces and I finally did. The decision to get braces was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Wow! What a "before and after" picture that I have to show everyone.

The staff at Stout and Booth made the whole experience relatively painless and fun at the same time. After my first appointment, the desk clerk asked me if I needed a note for school. That was hilarious. From then on, I knew this would not be bad at all. Everyone was so nice to me during each visit and the personal attention that every staff member gives is incredible. I am so glad that I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Booth. He makes you feel so comfortable, especially us older patients, he makes you feel right at home.

My heartfelt thanks go out to everyone at Stout and Booth for making me want to smile. I have always been a happy, crazy guy, but with these new STRAIGHT teeth, I definitely have something to smile about. Thank you all!!!

Sincerely,
Byron T. Pritchard

PS: My snaggle-tooth daughter Hannah lost her two front teeth this weekend and not only does she want two front teeth for Christmas, she will be next in line for braces. Thanks again. I will miss seeing you all.

We are a military family and it is hard to find a hometown feeling when we are far away from home, but we have found that in Stout & Booth. Our eldest daughter started as an informal patient years ago and we have progressed to all four of our children being served at various stages in orthodontic treatment. Dr. Booth and his staff, of wonderful ladies, are concerned about their job but never forget the person involved. Dr. Booth gives honest professional and personal opinions about each of one of our children. Each child is treated as an individual with their concerns taken into account before and during treatment. We are impressed that Dr. Booth does not overtreat and uses the least restrictive measures first. Stout & Booth is a "family" business where a family's needs come first. We are proud to be a part of the Stout & Booth family.

* Our son, Aaron, has received treatment for his underbite and has had to wear a face mask. Dr. Booth discussed the options and the commitment with our 9 year old. Aaron agreed to wear the mask at night and has made amazing progress in a short period of time. Aaron saw a man, on TV recently, with a pronounced underbite and he said, "That man needs to go to Dr. Booth so he can look as good as me."

My mother, sister and I are patients of Dr. Booth. As patients, we have experienced family-like care at Stout & Booth Orthodontics. As a golfer, I have to travel all over the country and have a busy schedule, but the staff accommodated me very well. Dr. Booth is conscientious and thorough. His work on my teeth has made my smile come a long way.

My name is Derek Covell and I was fortunate enough to have my orthodontics done by Dr. Booth. My life has come full circle and I am now the sales rep for Sullivan-Schein Dental in the Fayetteville area. It was great to get to know Dr. Booth and his staff all over again. I have graduated high school, college, got married, had two beautiful daughters, and grown about 16 inches since my days as a patient, but it still feels like home every time I stop by the office. The staff even enjoys teasing me with my seventh grade photos. I never thought that I would be able to give back to a practice that has done so much for me. They helped shape my smile into what it is today, and I can't thank them enough for that. I am honored to be a part of their team and consider them family!!

Respectfully yours,
Derek Covell

I had wanted straight teeth since I was a teenager. After graduating from college, I went to an orthodontist in Charlotte. He told me that I was too old for braces at age 22! I came to see Dr. Booth about fifty years later and learned that I was not too old. (I was probably the oldest patient ever at Stout and Booth orthodontics.) Dr. Booth and all of his staff made wearing braces a pleasant experience. The 13 months flew by fast and voila! Straight teeth! Almost every Tuesday when I volunteer at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center in the cardiac surgery waiting room, some one will comment on my smile. I think it's because I no longer hide my teeth when I smile!

As a dental hygienist, I feel very fortunate to have experienced Dr. Booth's excellent orthodontic care both professionally and personally. It has been my good fortune to see the quality outcome after his treatment of many of our patients and I am always impressed that no matter how many years have passed, his patients look the same as the day their braces were removed. Dr. Booth and his staff work extremely well together to provide the highest quality of orthodontic care available. It's never too late to have a healthy and pleasing smile. That is why, when I needed orthodontic treatment, I chose Dr. Booth.

At the mention of the word braces, brass players worldwide give a collective shudder. Imagining a mouthful of metal which would adversely affect the way I made music was something to grimace about. As you might imagine, I was a bit more than skeptical about any orthodontic procedures Dr. Booth and his team had in mind. After feelings of general resentment toward everyone, (i.e. Dr. Booth, my mother, and whoever decided to invent braces…) I decided to put my complaining on the back burner, and start learning how to play trumpet again. This was almost two years ago. Since then I've made all-state band, played numerous solo performances, and I've just completed my first year as music major at UNC- Chapel Hill. I'm now playing better with braces than I ever was without them. I really thank Dr. Booth and his staff for caring so much, always asking how the music was going, and even inviting me to play in their office. It's nice to know that someone is working just as hard as you are to reach the same goal. Dr. Booth is determined that his patients have a beautiful smile which improves both their self-esteem and professional life. I can honestly say that this experience has helped me as a person, and as a musician, its effect will be evident in both my music and my pictures. In the music world it would seem that trumpet players and orthodontists are natural born enemies, but after experiencing the supportive, caring environment engendered by the staff, I'm proud to call the people at Stout & Booth Orthodontics my friends.

At 39 years of age, I came to Stout and Booth for help, not out of some vain desire for a better smile, but upon my trusted dentist's recommendation for long-term dental health. I'm glad I took his advice. Dr. Booth and his staff of dedicated assistants lived up to their strong reputation. They were caring and thoughtful, but above all, professional. Not only did they successfully address my dental needs; they left me with a smile my wife and children love. If you're thinking about orthodontics, you ought to go for it, and you should let Stout and Booth take care of you. They will, and you'll be glad you did.

Dear Dr. Booth and Staff:
A many thanks to each one of you, Thank you for going above and beyond, and giving me the smile I've always dreamed of having. Now that my teeth are straight, I have something extra to smile about. Thanks for giving the Raven Family something to smile about. In closing I would like to extend my gratitude to each and every one of you for making me part of the team, and not just another patient.
