We are nearing the end of my daughter's treatments. I was just thinking back to two years ago when we looked at four other doctors to see about treatment for her. First doctor - franchise dentistry place. He was young and unexperienced. If we had done treatment with him, he would have done serious damage to her mouth (like "burned" the roots of 4 good teeth). Plus, franchises only have their orthodontist in 1-2 days a month. Bad idea if you have a problem any of the days they're not there! Stay away from the franchises. Second doctor - extremely experienced and knowledgeable but his office staff was nasty. You will be starting a 2-3 year journey when you start orthodontic treatment. If the staff does not communicate professionally and treat you like you're a million $, RUN AWAY! We did. Doctor #3 - very smelly office. Lots of chemicals used there (I need a pukey face emoticon inserted here) and his whole mode of dentistry was outdated. We wanted more than just a great doctor with a great staff. They needed to have an office that said "up-to-date" but not extravagant. Doctor #4 - said my daughter's mouth was too complicated and he would not do it. I really appreciated that! Then he referred us to Grinz Ortho. So ... Dr. Zeihmer may be the 5th doctor we looked into but he's our #1 Doctor for our kid's orthodontics needs. I don't write recommendations very often because if my name is on it, I kind of take a hit if someone has a bad experience. If you're looking for orthodontics treatment for yourself or your family and you live even remotely near Tucson, make sure you go to Grinz Orthodontics before you make your final decision. Yes, it took us a long time to find the right orthodontist but we have have a large family and there will be 5 more kids who will need treatment!!

Dr.Ziehmer and Grinz Orthodontics gave me a reason to love my teeth and love my smile. They were understanding and helpful.They also made me feel like I was family.Best orthodontics ever!!

Dr. Z is great and so is his staff. I have 2 kids in braces and they work around my busy schedule for follow-up appointments. We've had 2 emergencies and they got us in quick and really showed concern for my son.

Yes, Dr. Z and his staff are top notch! My daughter was quite young (9) when she began treatment and the staff were always so patient and gentle with her (and the fresh baked cookies didn't hurt either.) :) They make regular scheduling as accommodating as possible and I will never forget the time they stayed open late for an "emergency" fix! We are BIG fans of Team Z!!

I love this place. I am a middle school teacher and my students recommended this dentist and it is not hard to see why. The staff is extremely accommodating, the office is warm and inviting, and they give incentives to their patients for a variety of things...like having good oral hygiene to encourage patients to brush, floss and rinse regularly. Kids love the rewards and spinning the "wheel" for prizes. I wish my experience with braces was this pleasant. I have already recommended this dentist to others with much confidence that they too will be treated like royalty.
