We had a great experience with Dr. P and the entire orthodontic team throughout my daughter’s Invisalign treatment. My daughter genuinely enjoyed every visit. Appointments were always short and efficient, and we never waited more than about five minutes. The office is clean, bright, and welcoming, and the staff are wonderful with kids. Everyone speaks in such a calm and mellow way that my daughter never felt nervous or stressed. Dr. P was also very thoughtful about finding the best treatment approach specifically for my daughter. For example, she recommended an Invisalign expander instead of traditional braces and later suggested Vivera retainers during the day rather than a night retainer that would make talking more difficult. We really appreciated that the treatment plan was based on what would work best for her rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. With good discipline, my daughter completed her Invisalign treatment in less than a year and a half, and we are very happy with the results. The office is also very well run. The payment plan was explained clearly from the beginning, and the front desk staff often recognized us as soon as we walked in and had us checked in right away. The location is convenient, with plenty of parking as well. Overall, the entire experience was efficient, professional, thoughtful, and very kid-friendly. I would highly recommend Dr. P and her team to other families looking for an orthodontist.
Dr. Stephanie and her staff at Salt and Light Orthodontics are the best. Our 10-year-old son just recently got his braces taken off and the results were great. The entire process was very smooth. The doctors make great use of state-of-the-art technology. We received great communication and explanations all along the way. The office is a very inviting space and the staff were always very helpful. Most of all, Dr. Stephanie has such a warm presence and brings so much joy and attentiveness to her work. She made everything so pleasant for our kid. On several occasions she reached out to personally check on us and make sure that everything was going well. Salt and Light Orthodontics truly lives up to their name of being a stellar example of exceptional care and service.
Dr. P and her team are simply the best. I sought out the Salt and Light team for a second opinion on an existing treatment plan and was so impressed with her consultation that I switched providers specifically to work with Dr. P. The whole team is extremely thorough, and even discovered that a previously treated root canal had not healed properly. Thanks to Dr. P and her team, we discovered the infection and it was treated and is now healed. For the orthodontic treatment, I couldn't be happier with my results. In as little as 12 months of Invisalign treatment, I have the smile I always dreamed of. The support staff is also so friendly and accommodating. I simply cannot recommend Dr. P and the whole Salt and Light team enough.
Dr. Purnomo, Dr. Yoon and staff are top notch. Their faith and character are reflected in how they treat people (with kindness, integrity and humor) day in and day out. Both my children are patients and I’ve been completely satisfied with the course of their treatment. At each appointment you’re seen in a timely manner and if an issue or concern comes up impromptu they fit us in promptly and without fuss. I’ve got nothing but praise for Salt and Light Orthodontics.
My orthodontics experience with this office has been incredible. I am extremely grateful to have found an incredible dr and amazing staff that not only values you as a patient but a person overall. They go above and beyond with their care. My case has not been an easy one. Many have recommended jaw surgery. However, I was able to avoid surgery and extremely happy with my results. Dr P is one of the kindest, most patient, and skilled orthodontists I have had the pleasure of knowing. If anyone is looking for the best orthodontic care, you won’t regret coming here. You will know it is the right office for you right away.
