Very impressed with this office! Everyone was SO friendly and welcoming & they answered my questions thoroughly! I have 0 knowledge when it comes to the world of orthodontics but after our appointment, I feel so confident in the care my children will be receiving!
The experience from scheduling to the actual appointment was great! The staff is so friendly and informative. Everything was explained and no pressure to begin treatment. Our son, Ethan loved the treatment coordinator, Lauri. Dr. Bob was so kind and let us know how long treatment would be and was very thorough in his exam. We will be starting full ortho treatment in a few weeks.
We were very satisfied with the care we received and will definitely be returning for my son’s Second phase braces. I would definitely recommend this practice to others!
I had an excellent experience with this orthodontist and the entire team. Dr.Nudera took the time to explain every step of my daughter’s treatment and answered all of my questions, which gave me confidence throughout the process. The office is clean, organized, and appointments always run on time. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for quality orthodontic care.

Great place of business where the owners trust the staff.
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!

The staff is wonderful. So welcoming and professional. They do great work. Would highly recommend.
