About Blue Lake Orthodontics
Dr. Zehra Syed and Dr. Nooni run consultations that check airway health, not just alignment, in an office families describe as calming and convenient for errands.
Reviews often mention the office itself, describing a calming, spa-like space with modern technology and complimentary drinks and snacks rather than a typical clinical waiting room. Families with multiple children in treatment at once are a common thread, and the location's convenience for fitting appointments around errands or gym visits comes up as well. Dr. Zehra Syed and Dr. Nooni are noted for thorough consultations, including attention to airway health alongside alignment, and for explaining treatment and financing options in detail.

I absolutely love Blue Lake Orthodontics! The entire staff is so friendly and professional, they treat you like family! Dr. Z provided exceptional care and was so encouraging through my treatment plan. They worked hard to get me a smile I am excited to show off at my May wedding! I cannot brag and recommend Blue Lake enough, they are the BEST!

From the first time I met Dr. Z, I felt very comfortable. She explained the process of Invisalign and was very gentle during my consultation and examination. I feel without a doubt, I made the right choice choosing Dr. Z as my orthodontist. Highly recommend!!

Dr. Z and staff could not be kinder! The office is immaculate, tranquil and very welcoming. Feels like a spa and really put my nerves at ease! They have drinks, snacks, comfy seating and have truly thought of everything. Dr. Z is extremely knowledgable, detail-oriented and really took the time to answer my many questions. I really appreciate her honesty and how she went over the pros and cons of different treatment plans with me. Highly, highly recommend!
