Finished my orthodontist treatment and all I have to say is I am extremely happy with how smile came out after doing Invisalign with dr. Montano he is very knowledgeable and good at what he does along with his team Thank you again definitely recommend
I recently got my braces removed after being with them for almost two years now. Would agree that this place deserves five stars. Immediately once you’ve made an appointment and arrive on time, you are taken in (in cases in which you’re late, they call and are willing to wait for you). They accommodate and are extremely well receptive to concerns/questions. The vibe there is very welcoming; so much so that they have a big celebration announcing when someone has finished with their braces. I would fully recommend this place to anyone who is in need of braces or some type of corrective procedure.
We are extremely happy with our experience at Montano Elevated Orthodontics. My daughter received braces to help correct her overbite and treat her TMJ, and we have been very pleased with both the care she received and the results. The staff is always kind, professional, and welcoming. The office itself is beautiful, modern, and equipped with excellent technology, which makes appointments efficient and comfortable. We also appreciate that the wait times are very short, and we are usually seen promptly. The doctor is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to speak directly with both the patient and the family. He explains the treatment process clearly, answers questions thoroughly, and makes everyone feel involved and informed. Since starting treatment, my daughter’s TMJ symptoms have improved significantly, and we are very happy with her progress and results. We truly appreciate the exceptional care and service we have received and would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for quality orthodontic treatment.
Dr.Montano and his staff brought my smile to life and I can finally smile comfortably without being self conscious about my smile, removing the braces was fast and she made the visit easy going for me as I was very nervous for the removal. Thank you to Dr.Montano & his incredible staff!!!!
We have had the absolute pleasure working with Dr. Montano and staff! My daughter finished phase 2 braces and we are elated with the results! Every phone call, text reminder and friendly visit was an amazing experience. Thank you, thank you Montano Orthodontics!!
