We’ve had an excellent experience with Dr Ubaldo and all staff at this office. My son just got his braces off today and we’re so delighted! Judging from his original x rays, he’s been spared from a lifetime of jaw pain and complications, and his smile is beautiful! The office has always been very friendly, easy to communicate with, and flexible with changes. The office is also clean and pleasant. We’re very happy and would heartily recommend this practice.
Both my kids had their braces here so we’ve been with them for many years. Dr. Ubaldo and her entire staff is fabulous! She is very professional, patient, and caring for all her patients. My kids were well taken care of and I would highly recommend them.
Had the best Invisalign journey here over 2-3 years. From my first consultation, Dr. Ubaldo and team always made me feel part of the process, wanting to understand my goals and what I was looking for with Invisalign. They were so helpful, informative, and supportive through the journey. I always felt taken care of and comfortable and communication was always clear. I couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone looking for orthodontic care. At the conclusion of my Invisalign, I’m so happy with the results! Thank you all!!
Dr Ubaldo and the team are wonderful!!! We’ve been coming here for a number of years with two boys needing orthodontic care. And really, every single visit felt warm, welcoming, and extremely professional. We couldn’t have asked for a better orthodontic office and team!
I had a lot of crowding with my teeth (the top row especially), and it was causing problems with my embouchure as a musician. I opted for Dr. Ubaldo’s practice because I wanted an orthodontist to weigh in on my situation. Under her and her team’s care and specific considerations of my needs, I had stellar results and even finished my treatment early, well in time for my upcoming wedding! Thank you, Dr. Ubaldo!
