Why Doctor-Owned Matters

Not all orthodontic offices are the same. Here is what makes a difference.

Doctor-Owned Practice

The doctor answers your questions directly
Treatment decisions made by the doctor, not a corporate protocol
Fewer patients, more attention per visit
Pricing set by the doctor, not a corporate office
No quotas, no upselling, no pressure
Doctor answers your questions directly

Corporate Chain (DSO)

The treatment coordinator presents your plan
Rotating doctors, different face each visit
Higher patient volume, less time per patient
Pricing determined by corporate headquarters
Production targets may influence recommendations
Questions go through the front desk staff

Why Choose Limestone Hills

Limestone Hills offers a combination of credentials and care choices that families notice on the first visit. Dr. Viecilli is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics with a PhD in Orthodontic Biomechanics, and he personally treats every patient at every appointment. The same doctor who designs the case finishes it. Consultations include a free 3D CBCT scan and exact pricing before any commitment, and unlike many practices, the practice does not run production quotas, treatment coordinators, or rotating associate schedules. Families bring their kids back for siblings’ braces; adults refer their colleagues. That is the test the practice is built to pass.

Limestone Hills Orthodontics is privately owned by Dr. Rodrigo Viecilli. It has not been sold to a corporate chain, private equity/DSO and never will be.

Yes. Patients bring records from the previous orthodontist and Limestone Hills provides a transfer evaluation. Dr. Viecilli assesses current treatment progress, takes a complimentary 3D CT scan, and recommends the best path forward.
A $150 fee applies for second opinions and transfer cases already in active treatment. The new-patient consultation remains free.
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At that age Dr. Viecilli can identify bite problems, airway issues, and eruption patterns early.
Many children do not need treatment at age 7. Limestone Hills offers a complimentary growth-observation program to monitor development until the right moment.
