Dr. Lee helped me a lot, and I loved the friendly environment. They got great service.Posted on Bella JiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Becoming an adult and starting orthodontic treatment for the first time was something I thought about for several years. Before choosing this office, I had a consultation at another orthodontic clinic. Since our teeth are something we keep for life, I felt it was important to be careful and find an orthodontist that truly fits me. Compared to the previous clinic I visited, the consultation here was very organized, thorough, and kind. During the consultation, they carefully evaluated things like how much gum shows when I smile and how my jaw looks from the side. It made me feel that they were very professional and detail-oriented. After the scan, they scheduled a Zoom meeting about two weeks later to explain the treatment plan, approach, and estimated timeline. I am now about two months into my Invisalign treatment. Whenever I have questions, I can easily reach them by phone or text and receive quick responses. Everyone at the office, including the doctor, has been extremely professional and friendly. I’ve already been recommending this office to my friends. :)Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
