They truly pay attention to every detail, and Dr. Jim is a perfectionist in the very best way!Dr. Jim and everyone at Fruge Orthodontics are so kind, professional, and genuinely a pleasure to work with. Appointments are always easy to schedule, and the staff is so accommodating.Seeing our daughter’s beautiful new smile makes us so happy, and we couldn’t be more pleased with her results!

Just his words of reassurance and genuine concern helped me get through this.The entire staff at Fruge's Orthodontist (Gonzales) displayed Professionalism, Caring, Friendliness and Great Customer Service.!Thanks Dr. Jim and Staff"

"I have an awesome experience every time. Everyone is always so kind and patient they make you feel like you’re at home. Ally one of the Assistants there is phenomenal and is a pleasure to be around, they’re all great though definitely recommend for your braces needs:)I had an appointment today and, as mentioned in my previous review, everything went well overall. Unfortunately, the assistant Kate had a very cocky attitude and came across as rude. I’m not usually bothered by interactions like this, but her demeanor was off-putting. I hope her attitude improves going forward, as it affected an otherwise good experience."

(Im an older patient after previously having braces many years ago as a teenager!)Appointments were easy to schedule and were quick-with prompt & friendly adjustments!Anyone considering Invisalign, I encourage you to go for it! You will be thrilled with the results-Fruge Orthodontics will make sure of it!Thanks so much, Dr Jim and staff!"
"I have had the best journey from braces to aftercare post my braces journey. The time spent in braces was quick and the whole staff was super friendly, especially Dr. Andre. He has the most pleasant personality. I recently needed another retainer and they scheduled the appointment quickly, kept me informed of the process and the cost was reasonable. I have recommended Fruge to all I know."

"My son just started phase one of his braces’ journey. Everyone made him feel so comfortable and confident about getting braces. They explained the process and helped him transition to his new normal for the next year!"
"Always a pleasant experience seeing Dr. Andre and his staff for our orthodontic care. Courteous, professional and knowledgeable, everyone who assisted us from the moment we walked in the door to when we concluded our appointment seemed genuinely happy to be there. I especially appreciated how they took the time to explain every step of what they were doing to my son as they applied his braces, while managing to keep the atmosphere light and casual. This approach most definitely helps patients relax, feel more at ease, and, in my opinion, has contributed to my son having less pain and soreness that often accompanies new braces. My own personal experience as an adult patient who completed treatment earlier this year mirrors what we experienced today. Who knew getting braces could be such a pleasant experience!"
"Dr. Andre is my absolute favorite. Dr’s. Brad, Jim & Andre took great care of me while I was pregnant with my daughter. 15 years later Dr. Andre is still absolutely amazing. Great personality, very patient and professional. The clinic consistently runs efficiently with respect to time and scheduling. I truly appreciate Frugé orthodontics, the friendly staff and great atmosphere. My son is 5 years old, but if he needs braces, we know exactly where we’re going! All the best to such an elite team of professionals."

Even before starting treatment, he saw all 3 of my kids multiple times to track their progress to start their treatments at the right time and not rush us into putting braces on. He understands kids will break brackets or not be as diligent as they should with rubber bands, but he makes sure they understand their choices will only delay getting their braces off. His office staff and assistants are all very helpful and kind and great with kids."

"Quick, easy, and really nice workers. I have only ever gone to the location in Denham Springs, but I had to go to the location in Baton Rouge to get my braces removed since I had to push it back b/c I got sick. The staff were very nice and friendly. I’m unsure of the name of the orthodontic assistant who actually removed my braces but she was very nice and good at her job. I didn’t get poked or stabbed once and didn't feel any major pain when they were removing them. Fruge Orthodontics made the whole process of braces extremely easy and efficient. I definitely recommend them."
"Lauren and Dr. Brad were extremely friendly. Applying the braces went by so quickly. Frugè Orthodontics should be your ONE AND ONLY choice!!!"
"My son got the Invisalign braces less than a year ago and honestly, I was a little skeptical at first of the Invisalign, but the results have been absolutely amazing. Dr.Fruge and his team are awesome. My son is excited to go to his appointments, not only seeing the transformation from his treatment but he loves the staff as well."
"Today my 8 y/o son had braces installed and he did such an amazing job, thanks to the wonderful staff members. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and asked to be seated until my son’s name was called which only took about 3 minutes. Dr. Andre made my son feel comfortable as he applied his brackets by talking to him and letting him know he was doing such a great job. Towards the end, the dental assistant thoroughly explained the home care process. I love how they have the open stations. It appears to help patients get comfortable knowing they aren’t the only ones that are nervous about getting dental repairs. Our experience here was wonderful and we can’t wait to return in 8 weeks."

"Upon consideration of several different orthodontist offices, when we visited FRUGE, we decided then and there that that’s who we wanted to use to take care of our children’s braces needs. The staff was absolutely amazing and explained all the details and the step-by-step process of what we were about to go through.

His chairside manner is friendly and he is also funny. His office staff are always professional. The assistants are also friendly and explain everything they are going to do before they do it. Last week I graduated and got my braces removed. Reese, who removed my braces was wonderful and made me feel relaxed throughout the process. I highly recommend Fruge Orthodontics.

"I have a 10 year old son who was getting braces. The orthodontist assistant, Nicki, was very kind and patient with my wiggly kiddo. She took time to fully explain what she was doing to me and my son. I appreciate that kind of attention in healthcare, because you don’t always see that. The office was busy, but time and attention was given to every patient. Dr. Andre was also kind and very attentive to my son. He checked in with him and told him he was doing a great job.

"I've a had a good experience having my braces done through Dr. Frugé Orthodontics. They were good about working with my schedule between school and work. He also worked with me to make sure we'd be finished with the braces before I had to leave for study abroad."
"We love Dr Jim and the team at FRUGE’!We’ve just had our third get their braces off and have beautiful results and I can’t wait to see the results of our younger ones’ sets. Thank you Dr Jim!"
"We’ve had a wonderful experience with Fruge’ Orthodontics. Both of my boys got braces at the same time, and both got their braces off early. The staff is always friendly, and welcomes you with a smile. Planning to bring myself and other children to Fruge’ in the near future. Thanks Dr. Jim!"
"This place is amazing! Dr. Andre is the absolute best! They are always willing to accommodate your needs. I had to move out of state in the middle of my braces treatment, and instead of transferring me to another orthodontist they worked around my travel schedule and ensured they could see me for my appointments when I was home. I had a question while I was out of state, and they let me text them a photo and said the doctor would text me back! Unmatched customer service! I highly recommend them for all your orthodontic needs."
"Dr. Jim and his staff were absolutely excellent throughout my entire treatment! They all worked with me tirelessly to help me get my braces off 6 months early in time for my wedding :)"
"I've been a patient here for 2 years and a half and let me tell you that time is of the essence. Totally worth the wait. Dr. Fruge is so meticulous and really wants all his patients to smile and feel great. I was always so self conscious about my smile and got so used to the braces, that I was nervous on how I would look without them. My teeth look and feel great. Definitely a confidence booster. I couldnt be happier. Thank you again Dr. FRUGE AND STAFF! Happy holidays!!"
"We had a great experience with Dr. Fruge and staff from start to finish! Everyone was very courteous and considerate, and we always knew what to expect. Highly recommend this practice for braces!!"
"Edit: 🦷😁: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Adding my "after picture" 21 months later. The improvement is amazing! I no longer have TMJ!Getting adult braces after already having braces as a child is the worst, but Dr. Andre and his team have made this process so easy for me. Everyone was very kind and informative, and Dr. Andre is a joy to talk to. I can't wait to have a straight set of teeth and better control of my TMJ! Maybe in a few years I can add an "after picture" to my review. 😉🦷"
"Dr Fruge and Staff are the best!! We enjoyed each visit and left with a smile to show how they all made us feel! We look forward to coming back for the next phase of braces! ~Brailey Johnson and Family:)"

"Love Dr. Fruge and the whole team! Both of my girls have braces and we recommend them to everyone!"
"I never had braces as a child but I grew up with the Fruge family. As an adult I had Invisalign that they did for me and I was so pleased with the professionalism and care they took. And here with are with my oldest. She’s young for braces as we try to shift teeth for new ones to come in but they are so sweet with her every appointment explaining each step along her way! Great results all around!"
"Absolutely amazing everytime we are here. There are 4 of us in braces at one time and they still find a way to treat each of us as one of a kind."
"Dr. Jim Fruge has a very kind smile but we don’t get a chance to see it anymore since Covid because of the masks. I do think Dr. Fruge’s personality shines through when he’s adjusting my son’s braces because I notice his cool socks when he is sitting down working! We are extremely pleased with the quick appointment times if there is an emergency. Dr. Fruge is definitely the best orthodontist in town hands down!"
"My son got his braces here. They are very friendly and professional. Always answer any questions I have and makes my son so comfortable. He is excited about how his teeth will look once the braces are off."
"We love Dr Andre! My daughter finally got her braces on today 😬"
"I can’t thank Fruge’ orthodontics and staff enough!! Dr Andre’ is amazing! My daughter had her braces removed 2 years ago and mine were put on. I recently at 48 had them removed and couldn’t be happier. I have the smile I’ve always wanted. Next year my 13 year old son will be in braces. Looking forward to spending more time with Dr Fruge’"

"I can’t praise Dr. Brad enough! When I initially thought about getting braces I went to a few other orthodontist in the area and was told I would need jaw surgery to correct my cross bite. I’d never had a surgical procedure of any kind so that terrified me. I went on google and came across Fruge Orthodontics and noticed all of the positive reviews so I setup a free consultation. Dr. Brad told me there were two ways he could fix my smile ... over time with dedication to wearing elastics or the easier way on him but harder on me way of jaw surgery. I chose to go with time and dedication to elastics. He stressed that if I didn’t wear my elastics as prescribed I would be wasting my money. After 3 years my smile is PERFECTION!! I can’t stop smiling in the mirror! It’s so hard to believe that my teeth are MY TEETH! Thank you Dr. Brad and all of the super nice staff. You all are beyond amazing 💛."
"Dr. Andre and the entire friendly staff are fabulous! My experience was positive from the initial consultation to the removal of my braces. I always felt comfortable during my visits. Highly recommend Fruge Orthodontics!"
"Dr. Andre and the entire staff were amazing! Thank you so much for my new smile!! Highly recommend Fruge Orthodontics for anyone looking to get braces!"
"This was my second experience with braces as I had them in before in my late 20s. I had a small space at the bottom I wanted corrected and since my daughter was already receiving treatment with Dr. Andre I decided to give them another try. Dr. Andre reminds me of home so I immediately felt comfortable. He took good care of me; always friendly and personable and even though he’s that way with every patient when he’s with you you feel special. The staff is always just as friendly. The front desk crew are always smiling and welcoming and the hygienists are fast but perfectionists. I’m so pleased with the final results. Thank you Dr. Andre and everyone at Fruge!"

"What can I say about Fruge Orthodontics? The entire team, from the receptionists to the orthodontic assistants to the orthodontists (Dr. Jim)were nothing short of outstanding. I was informed with every single step of my treatment. The practice works truly as a team. Fruge Orthodontics treats patients from every age group too! My son was a patient more than 10 years ago and I knew when I finally decided to get braces that this was the place to go. It’s never too late to get the smile you’ve always wanted. I’m so glad I did. Thank you Dr. Jim. You really are my hero."

Now that she's done I will be coming going see Dr Jim to correct mmy teeth!!! Thanks Dr Jim and the friendly staff at Frugé Orthodontics!!!"
"My 7 year old had to get step one braces & an expander. The staff were so helpful and made sure she felt comfortable about what the plan for her Orthodotic journey would be. Dr Fruge reassured her throughout the process which helped to keep her calm as they worked on her teeth. There’s been a big change in her teeth and confidence. I’m even thinking about getting braces myself! #WeLoveFrugeOrthodontics"
"Dr Andre and his team really go above and beyond to help their patients achieve the best smile possible. They are so sweet, professional, offer convenient locations throughout, and are so knowledgeable. Dr Andre and his team put my mind at ease during my braces stage all the way to getting a permanent retainer. I would recommend anyone to them! It’s been nearly 6 years since I’ve gotten my braces off and I love how when I encounter him and his team, they give me the same positive smile, energy, and they still approach me by my name!�"

You will not be disappointed!"
"Very compassionate and someone I'm confident in placing my sons health and smile into. He was highly recommended by my dentist as well, should have listened to her the first time and my son and I wouldn't be going through all of this again. It's a shame that after spending 6g on braces you have to start all over. Do your research thoroughly, you can't assume every orthodontist is created equal. My mistake.I'm excited and feel peace this go around, unlike before, my gut was screaming that something was wrong. Listen to your gut instincts as well moms."
"I loved my orthodontist, Jim Fruge. He was patient and walked me through every step of the braces journey. The ladies in there were also kind, informative and gentle with my teeth. I highly recommend Fruge Orthodontics if you are longing for the perfect dream smile!"
"I couldn't think of a better environment to be around every 6 weeks for 2 years! Dr. Andre was so sweet every time I came in to get a new wire or to change my power chain. The entire staff was wonderful and so nice with each visit. I want to thank everyone for being so kind and nice throughout my visits. Its only been a day since I got my braces off and I already can't stop looking at them. I feel so confident with my new smile. Thank you Dr. Andre and the entire staff for everything y'all have done to help me along my journey! Y'all are the best!"

Our experience has been absolutely wonderful and my daughter's teeth as well as, jaw alignment is BEAUTIFUL!"
"Dr. Andre and the dental professionals at Fruge' orthodontics are the best in the business. My child went through braces from 2nd through 7th grade to resolve issues from spacing(speech issue) to her biting on something she shouldn't have and breaking her retainer. Dr. Andre got us through it without anyone getting hurt! I recommend Fruge' Orthodontics to all potential braces wearers in South Louisiana�"

"Before visiting Dr.Frugé, I (28 year old) was told that I would need upper jaw surgery in order to correct my open bite. After more research, I personally decided that the risk wasn't worth the reward. Dr.Jim Frugé and his staff worked with me in order to come up with a long term success path that would give me the functionality I desired without oral surgery. Although this required me to wear braces for a bit longer, the result was better than I ever expected! All my teeth now touch. For the first time in my life, I love my smile. I can't count how many people have complimented me on my smile since my braces were removed. From their friendly and highly trained staff (thanks Liz!) to their efficient and refined process, Frugé Orthodontics has my highest recommendation. Thanks for making braces an enjoyable experience!"
"I would highly recommend Fruge's Orthodontics! Dr. Fruge told me my braces would be on & off in 18 months and they were. The staff was friendly and a consistent help. They would constantly go out of their way to assist me. I am completely happy with the results!"
"My son had a bad overbite that required him to wear an appliance and two sets of braces. Dr. Andre' started him when was 9 and now at 14 he is out of the braces and his teeth are beautiful. He does not have to wear them in high school which is a blessing to any teenager. We have seen all 3 doctors and they are wonderful. My son was always comfortable and never afraid. This has been a great experience."
"Fruge Orthodontics treats you like family! The staff goes above and beyond to insure that you and/or your children feel comfortable at all times. I can't even begin to count the times I've seen one of them hold the hand of a nervous patient. My husband surprised me with my braces for Christmas one year. Dr. Fruge and his staff created a special gift certificate for him to wrap and put under the Christmas tree for me. This is just one example of the great attention to detail and service you will receive in this office. My youngest child would come with me during my visits and had trouble losing her teeth. Dr. Jim began watching her X-rays and helped us to know which teeth needed to be pulled and when to pull them as her mouth grew. His knowledge and keen observations saved my daughter from needing permanent teeth pulled at a later time. Again, another example of the awesome attention you will receive in this office! I highly recommend this orthodontic group to anyone interested in improving their smile, their dental health, and over all well being. The Corwin family LOVES Fruge Orthodontics!!!"
"Our family has had a wonderful experience at Fruge Orthodontics. Dr. Andre did braces for my older daughter and I with wonderful results. My youngest is now seeing Dr. Andre and her smile is looking great. I have also recommended friends and family. Appointments are always quick and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I will continue to recommend them."

"I absolutely loved Fruge Orthodontics! They made me feel right at home every time I walked through the doors. Dr. Andre was the best, he was very interested in not only my orthodontics, but everything else. He was very personable and welcoming. The techs there was awesome as well. They always remembered everyone it seemed and that is something you don't find very often. I definitely would recommend Fruge Orthodontics to anyone who is looking to get braces. My number one choice!"
"I highly recommend Fruge Orthodontics!!! The entire staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. Scheduling was great. I was able to get in when my scheduled allowed and if I ever had a problem with my braces it was handled quickly. If you are needing braces these guys are the best."
"I love the team. Pam worked on me alot and love her. My son also loves everyone there as well. Very down to earth group. The best place to get Orthodontic work done! Have 3 more children that are going to need braces and Fruge Orthodontics is the only place I will go for all my families orthodontic needs."

"Fruge Orthodontics is a wonderful place. My daughter received her braces there while she was in high school. I was a single mom and I felt very comfortable talking with the staff and they were always willing to work with me. Every time I visited everyone was always smiling and the doctors were awesome!"
"The Drs. Fruge are amazing! I've wanted to do something about my smile for several years now (I'm 35 and never had braces), but my anxiety over anything "dental" prevented me from doing so. When my dentist told me my bite was getting worse, I finally decided to make an appointment. So glad I did! I'm 5mos into my Invisalign treatment and could not be more excited about the results I'm seeing... I'm actually ahead of schedule and can't believe have fast it's going! The entire staff is wonderful and put me at ease at my very first appointment. As a mother-of-three, I have to also mention that my appointments consistently run on-time, and I've never had any problem getting an appointment that fit my schedule. What else can I say? If you are thinking about improving your smile, go see these guys. They are truly good people with extremely high standards. Now I know why so many people recommend going to Fruge :)"
