Went in for a consultation today, the staff were excellent and attentive. Dr. Corina was amazing, she gave me many options of treatment, was very kind, and very informative! I immediately felt comfortable because of how much knowledge Dr. Corina has, you can tell she truly wants the best for her patients, enjoys her job, and knows what she is talking about. Clean environment as well.

Dr. Radu worked with me for years on my jaw surgery journey, something I'd put off for a lifetime because of how uncomfortable orthodontics can be. I'm so thankful I found Dr. Radu, she is an absolute pro who is passionate about the discipline as well as kind and compassionate with her patients. I truly wouldn't recommend anyone else.

Dr. Radu is a great orthodontist. My treatment took about 1.5 years with lots of different devices in my mouth. Dr. Radu made sure they felt as comfortable as possible while still being efficient. The technicians are also really good. My teeth look great!

We had a great experience with Dr. Radu. She did the orthodontic treatment for both our kids. She went above and beyond to accomodate the appointments to our schedule. Very patient, thorough and efficient, explains everything in detail. The older one is done with his brackets, the result is amazing. The younger one is progressing nicely. When I asked her opinion for myself, she immediately did a comprehensive exam and explained all the options, without pushing for an immediate decision. Overall, I highly recommend this office.

Dr. Radu, Ina, and team are absolutely the best! They took over my orthodontic care from my previous provider. The transition to Dr. Radu's care was seamless. She took my preferences and goals in mind and tailored the program to it. I'm super happy with my smile, bite, and alignment. Put your trust in Dr. Radu, Ina, and team and they will handle the rest!

I’ve had such a positive experience at this clinic! The team has been incredibly supportive and professional, and I’ve seen amazing progress with my aligners. Highly recommend their services!

Dr. Radu is an absolute gem! I had an incredible experience as a patient with braces for about 18 months. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and straightforward. If you follow her instructions, like avoiding foods that can break brackets and wearing rubber bands and retainers as prescribed, the whole process will be a breeze. Her entire staff is super friendly and easy to work with, and I never had a hassle scheduling follow-up appointments, even when my retainer broke two days before I left for school. I can’t recommend her enough!
