I had a great experience at this orthodontic office! The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and professional. From the moment you walk in, you feel comfortable and well taken care of. They take the time to explain every step of the treatment process, answer all questions, and make sure you feel confident about your care. My treatment was especially challenging and different from a typical case, so I knew it would take extra time, patience, and expertise. There were moments when I never imagined my smile could look the way it does today, but the orthodontist and team never gave up and always encouraged me throughout the process. Their knowledge, attention to detail, and dedication truly made all the difference. The office is always clean, organized, and efficient, and appointments run on time. What really stands out is how kind and caring everyone is. They genuinely go above and beyond to make each visit a positive experience. I am beyond happy with both the care I received and the incredible results of my treatment. My smile has been completely transformed, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. I never imagined I could achieve these results, and I’m so grateful to this amazing team. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for exceptional orthodontic care and a team that truly cares about their patients! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Elizabeth
I had the best experience at my daughter’s orthodontic consultation! I was actually a patient here about 30 years ago, so it’s incredibly special to now bring my own daughter and see the same level of excellence still going strong. From the moment we walked in, everything was so organized, thorough, and welcoming. The team took their time explaining every detail, answering our questions, and making both of us feel completely comfortable. You can really tell they care about their patients and take pride in what they do. We’re so excited to get started with treatment and feel confident we’re in the best hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an orthodontist who combines professionalism with genuine kindness!Heather
So... I am just finishing up one kiddo’s ortho treatment, and am in the middle of the other ones, and I have nothing but great things to say about this office! I was referred here by my hygienist friend who mentioned that she sees the results of Brodsky’s patients when she cleans their teeth... and says that (both Dr. Brodskys) work is fantastic. Not to take away from that (but a lot of the invisalign seems pretty computerized now) but I want to point out how great the rest of the staff is! This office seems personal and ALWAYS FRIENDLY and helpful. Gaby often answers the phone and has gone out of their way to answer my questions and help me get any paperwork needed for my insurance, etc. The from office staff is the same so we get to see the same faces (which also speaks well of not much turnover)... I have had to make last minute changes in appointments and the office is more than accommodating, The office is clean and the equipment seems very up to date. We seldom have more than a few minutes wait time, and all the techs are fantastic. The communication about what happens at each visit, and where we are in terms of the process has been clear, which is appreciated. I did check out another Orthodontist before committing here, and they were fine... but I feel like this practice really makes it feel like a painless process. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!Dani
Amazing experience from start to finish! As someone in my 30s getting braces, I felt completely comfortable throughout my LightForce treatment and love my results. The entire team, from the assistants to the front desk, was always welcoming, professional, and attentive. They consistently addressed all my concerns and made every visit a positive one. Highly recommend this office to anyone, especially adults considering braces!Valentina
I would absolutely recommend coming here for a consultation! The staff were EXTREMELY friendly, knowledgeable, and personable. The doctor is completely transparent and not at all pushy to sale treatment. He recommended I get in touch with a TMJ specialist and educated me on why that is a better fit for me in comparison to orthodontics. 10/10, a great place to consider treatment for yourself if you value honesty and friendly thorough care. Roxy, Marlene, and Dr. Charles Brodsky are great at their jobs!Erin
