Patient Reviews
"Dr. Mattingly, Howelll and staff are so friendly and make you feel like family. They definitely changed my smile for the better! I have gained so much confidence too."
"There is NO place like Mattingly & Howell!I’ve been a patient along with my 3 kids. They are always positive, knowledgeable & make the whole experience relaxing! Too notch docs & staff!"
"All the staff at Mattingly and Howell are wonderful and I have a good experience everytime I come!"
"Dr. Chris Howell (it's comedian Tom Segura, compare photos) has been my oldest son's orthodontist for the last year and a half or so... I couldn't rate him, his partners, their employees less than a 5/5 or a 10/10. They know what they're doing, they communicate well, everyone in the whole organization that I have ever spoken to (the Dr's, their staff and assistants, billing, scheduling, etc)are personable, answer all of my questions one by one, and offer every bit of assistance and flexibility possible. My youngest will probably need orthadontia as well in his future, it is what it is... but I know exactly where to get the best advice, and corrective action if necessary."
"During my ortho treatment Dr.Chris has been very personable, as well as the staff! They always call you by name, and are very quick and efficient. This is my second set of braces, and I’m overall happier! :)"
"I’ve had the best experience with Mattingly and Howell. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Very calm and welcoming. I’m very happy with the outcome of my Invisalign treatment. Highly recommend!!!"
"I can't praise this office enough! Exceptional care! Dr Mattingly took care of me as a kid/teen and now again as an adult. I wouldn't go to anyone else. Since starting my adult invisalign journey, they have called me twice AFTER hours to check on me and see how I was doing. That meant a lot."
"Amazing practice! The team at Mattingly & Howell provided exceptional education. Together, we were able to make the best informed decisions for my daughter’s plan of care. I feel 100% confident that she is in good hands! I can’t thank this team enough! Glad to be here."

Dr. Mattingly is wonderful he explains everything so everyone is on the same page and listens to your concerns and issues. I highly recommend Mattingly & Howell you will not be disappointed."

"The skill at this office is phenomenal. My case is very difficult and required surgery prior to ortho treatment. Both Dr. Mattingly and Dr.Howell are working side by side with my general dentist to gain a great outcome. I still have a way to go but can’t brag on them enough from getting me to a wonderful oral surgeon from day one to get started. And there’s not enough characters left to say how great the entire team is! Appreciate them so much."
"Dr. Chris Howell and the staff at Mattingly and Howell are absolutely amazing! My daughter had to have braces for an extended period of time, for medical necessity, and mere words can't express our gratitude to Dr. Howell for the excellent CARE provided. All of the staff have been truly wonderful Thank you!!!!"
"I love all the staff and Dr. Howell and Dr. Mattingly. They always answer my questions no matter how silly they are to them. They are amazing about appointments and are always on time.

The whole office staff does an exceptional job at explaining each process involved at every visit and they don’t just talk at the younger patients they actually engage with them so that they are comfortable and know exactly what to expect. I can’t say enough about Mattingly and Howell Orthodonics office staff and the two Dr Chris’. Thank you so much and certainly do appreciate my child’s new smile."
"I initially went to Mattingly and Howell hoping to be a good candidate for braces to improve my smile and bite. The additional benefits that came with it were an unexpected improvement in my health. I can’t thank them enough!The initial consultation was very thorough. During this, it was explained that I would be a good candidate for jaw surgery because my lower jaw was small and under-developed. It was something to think about doing later. I was not too excited about the thought of surgery. Braces were placed. Adjustments were made. I could see a significant improvement in my alignment, however my “small jaw” was obviously not proportional. With each adjustment, we would discuss the possibility of surgery, and it’s risks and benefits. Mentioned was a “cure” or significant improvement in sleep apnea. Having this problem is what eventually led to the decision to have the jaw surgery. Approximately 14 months after my braces were applied, I had upper and lower jaw surgery with a highly skilled oral surgeon at the University of Louisville. After 2 weeks, I became aware that the sleep apnea was gone! Also, the general airway obstruction problems I had been experiencing for at least 10 years were gone as well! I was being treated for exercise-induced asthma (The inhaler made no change). I also took a daily medication for allergies (No change). My thyroid was scanned (The scan was normal). I gave up and accepted that I would struggle sometimes with my breathing. THIS IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE!Thanks to the individualized care I received from Mattingly and Howell and the entire staff, I was able to make an informed decision that has improved my health. The whole group is professional, caring, and excellent at what they do. My profile looks great. I can’t wait to get my braces off soon to put it all together. My smile is already better than I ever imagined. To say I recommend Mattingly and Howell is an understatement! Thank you!"
"It was a pleasurable experience. I used the Invisalign and was skeptical at first, but soon realized how friendly and helpful the staff was towards me. Thank you Mattingly and Howell!"
"We have had two children with Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics and have been very pleased. Service was always prompt and efficient. The staff was amazing! They always treated us with kindness and respect. I would definitely recommend Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics."
"I have two sons who have been patients of the Bardstown Office, this office runs like a well-oiled machine. The doctors and staff are very professional and super nice, I have logged close to 100 office visits with Mattingly & Howell over the last 10 years; I've called to get appointments changed to adapt to my sons’ schedules and I can’t think of a time when I got off the phone that I didn’t think “that was easy" or "that was painless”. I have met the doctors and staff outside the office and they are same friendly people they are in the office, always say hi and ask about “my boys”."
"I have three children and all have been patients of Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I am also pleased when I see them out in town and they know me and my children. They are always interested in what they are doing. I have nothing but good things to say about their office."
"The staff and orthodontists at Mattingly & Howell are superior. They are organized and efficient. They treat each patient with sincerity!"
"Though having orthodontic work may not always feel pleasant, the staff at Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics made the experience as comfortable as possible for my daughter, Elizabeth. We have always been pleased with the kind, courteous and professional treatment our daughter received when visiting the Bardstown office. The photos taken at the end of my daughter's treatment contrast dramatically with the photos taken prior to treatment. Thank you so much for giving our Elizabeth such a beautiful smile."
"I have been under treatment at Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics, Bardstown Office, for 19 Months and they are very professional and friendly. As an adult I dreaded the process of braces but they have made it a fun and pleasant Experience. I am very happy thus far with my treatment. I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes in the waiting room. I really can't say enough about the Bardstown office!"
"The orthontists and staff at Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics have provided orthodontic treatment for both of my children. Their professionalism is top-rate! Their time management is also "top-notch!" I have been nothing but pleased with the service and treatment they have provided. I would highly recommend Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics to anyone who needs orhtodontic treatment. :-)"
"We love Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics! We simply can't say enough about Dr Chris Mattingly and Dr Chris Howell and the whole staff......We really have had a great experience and our son Andrew who had a severe underbite, is looking so much better. Andrew is a talker and loves to talk to the DMD's and the hygienists (sometimes a little too much) but the staff is so friendly its so hard not to talk to them. I hope my daughter doesn't need braces but if she does we will most definitely not hesitate to go there as well. Andrew has made great strides but the staff here has much more work on Andrew will be be seeing them for a while longer. If anyone saw the results of him, they would be amazed, we are!!"
"My daughter and I have had a wonderful experience with Mattingly and Howell--the orthodontists are very knowledgeable, the staff is friendly and courteous, appointments are on schedule, and we are always happy with our service. We plan to come back with our second daughter soon!Janean Minter"
"We were so happy with our experience at Mattingly & Howell in Bardstown during our daughter, Candice's treatment that we never gave another practice a thought for our son, Addison's treatment! Everyone in the office is friendly and they take time getting to know the patient. Dr. Chris Mattingly is who my kids seen most often and he would always take time after the appointment to chat with me about my child's progress as well as a friendly "catch up" moment with our family. The office is very clean, they provide a small play area for little ones, and the office design is open for you to see the orthodontic work taking place. The practice is ran very efficiently! When you make your appointment they can tell you approximately how long the appointment should take and I can't think of a single time they were wrong within our 6+ years of appointments with them. Lastly, the wait time in office after sign in is usually less than 10 minutes. They quickly call the patient back and get started on treatment, unlike other offices that claim you have little wait time only to call you into another area to wait again. I honestly can not think of anything negative to list about Bardstown's Mattingly and Howell Orthodontics!"
"As an adult patient in orthodontic care, I can say that the staff and the doctors at Mattingly & Howell Orthodontics have treated me with the utmost respect and care. A visit to their office is always a pleasurable experience!! The doctors want nothing but the best results for me and will do whatever it takes to get it."
