Louisville Orthodontist and Pediatric Dentist Team Up to Give Back to Children Who Need It The Most
The faces on the children said it all. Smiles, giggles and laughter showed the joy of the moment brought by the gift bags put together and delivered by the teams of Dr L. Douglas Knight, Louisville orthodontist and his colleague, pediatric dentist Dr Shelley Branson.
The sick kids in Norton’s Children’s Hospital were very glad to see their visitors and the goodies they brought. As much as the kids were excited, Dr Knight and Dr Branson’s teams of dental professionals felt the joy of making a difference for those who need it the most.
“We are treating kids everyday in our orthodontic and pediatric practices so we felt a responsibility to do something. It felt good to give back, especially to sick kids. In today’s society, we all have a obligation to contribute back to our communities,” Dr Doug Knight explained.
The idea was hatched at a professional meeting over lunch between Dr Branson and Dr Knight. So on October 9th, 2017, they brought in both of their teams to put together the gift bags of crayons, markers, coloring books and more to deliver to the kids. And 50 children of Norton’s Children’s Hospital are very glad they did.
Dr. Knight is so nice and you get treated so well there. Everyone is nice and friendly. They always make sure you’re taken care of.A Patient

My experience with Knight Orthodontics was second to none! Dr. Knight and his staff exhibit the perfect combination of professionalism coupled with a very warm, welcome and friendly demeanor. My teeth are straight, my bite is corrected and I am very grateful for the results. I very highly recommend Knight Orthodontics.

The way they treat their customers is something I’d expect from a place like this. They treat everyone with dignity, respect, and care. Knight’s is a great small orthodontics business for anyone that needs the help. They definitely do not disappoint!

Couldn’t be more happy with my adult orthodontic treatment with Dr. Knight. His experience shows in the results of his work. His staff is amazing and his office runs very efficiently. I was always early for my appointments and they always saw me before or right at my appointment time. I would definitely recommend Dr. Knight.

Our second child just completed his braces. Dr Knight and his entire staff are wonderful and knowledgeable. Dr Knight stays current on the latest best practices in orthodontics. The level of care has been exceptional and I could not be happier with the results for both of my children.

My 8 yo needed a palate expander to create room for her adult teeth. Dr. Knight and his staff helped us through the process gracefully. Kind, supportive office, payment plans, and fun child-friendly environment. Thank you to all who make this place special!

I had a mess in my mouth! After my initial visit, Dr. Knight explained to me precisely what needed done, how they were going to do it and how it would look when they were finished. He said, “We can fix’em”! As part of the treatment plan, I had an outpatient surgery, Dr. K recommended a surgeon who did the job as expected and without drama (Dr. Vansickles).
Dr. Knight and his team did an awesome job, they are professional and I’m super satisfied with my teeth. This outfit is the next step up from the common Orthodontist.

Dr. Knight and his staff couldn't have been more skilled at what they do. I initially got braces just to correct my teeth, but they found irregularities in my jaw positioning and I ended up having corrective surgery about a year and a half with the braces on. The recovery process afterwards was tough, but they were more than accommodating. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Dr. Knight and his team have always made me feel comfortable and welcome in the facility. Aside from the team being extremely friendly, this is one of the most professional practices I have been to in a long time. Customer service goes a long way nowadays and Dr. Knight and his team go above and beyond. I will continue to recommend Dr. Knight to friends and family in need of orthodontics.

Dr. Knight has provided service to three of my children. One child presented much more than a simple case requiring two rounds of braces, multiple retainers and even oral surgery, all of which Dr. Knight carefully and caringly oversaw. He worked closely with the oral surgeon to achieve the best possible results. In addition, he referred us to a dentist to finish the process with additional cosmetic procedures. The staff at the office are all wonderful to work with. They are very accommodating of scheduling issues and quick to follow up when there are questions or concerns.

I had braces in my teens and pretty extensive work to correct my overbite and alignment. They made it as painless as they possibly could, especially for a teenager. They were always so friendly. I just called to get my records to have on file (I am 25 now) and they told me Dr. Knight had to sign off on them for me to receive them. He called me personally the next day- a Saturday- to see how I was doing and to let me know I could come get my records. What an awesome guy, an amazing practice, and friendly and helpful staff. I definitely recommend them.

Dr. Knight did an awesome job on our child’s teeth. Other Orthodontists said the job couldn’t be done. Dr Knight not only said he could do it, he took away all our concerns. We highly recommend Knight Orthodontics!!

I went in for a permanent retainer repair for the first time with Dr. Knight, and had a wonderful experience. I'm new to Kentucky and he talked with me like he new me for years, he was so personable and took the time to get to know me. He had never worked on my teeth before but knew exactly what to do to re-straighten them and get a retainer back in. There is no "new patient" fee which is always nice. He seems to truly care about his patients' smile (teeth) and I will continue to come back to him for any orthodontic care.

My issue was more complicated than simply braces to straighten teeth - it included extensive jaw advancement surgery as well. Dr Knight and his staff were great through the entire 18 month process - always available, always willing to answer any questions and they also maintained constant communication with the surgeon so that everyone was always on the same page which was very comforting.

I have enjoyed my second round of wearing braces. He has done an excellent job correcting my bite and the time flew by. Before I knew it, my braces were coming off. Dr. Knight and his team really care and take an interest. I used the emergency number, after hours, and Dr. Knight was there for me. When my children come to the point in their life when they will need orthodontics, I will make their appointments with Dr. Knight! Thank you, Dr. Knight and team!

I've been coming to Knight Orthodontics since I was in grade school. The team is so friendly and professional, you will always be greeted with a smile. Dr. Knight and his incredible staff make me feel right at home. Dr. Knight has done an amazing job not just on my own teeth, but on my mom and brother's as well. I highly recommend this office!
