From the moment we walked into Dr. Dessi’s office, we knew we were working with true professionals. Elm Tree has the qualities that you would want from an orthodontist — immaculately clean, organized, and friendly, caring, professional staff. From Angela and Diane at the front desk, to each and every technician, up to Dr. Desai himself, we always had pleasant appointments that started on time and were explained thoroughly. Dr. Desai’s calming disposition put my daughter at ease and his expertise and thoughtful approach to her dental plan gave us confidence we made the right choice. The result is amazing and the experience overall was so great. The office’s newest added bonus is the happy and adorable therapy dog, Hippo! Love this practice - we look forward to every visit.

We’ve had an amazing experience here! My daughter just finished her treatment after almost two years, and the results are absolutely incredible. Her teeth look beautiful. The entire staff has always been so kind, professional, and patient throughout the process. They made every visit comfortable and positive for my 11-year-old. We’re so thankful for their care and dedication. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for an orthodontist who truly cares about their patients, this is the place for you!

I have had my braces off for probably 13 years and had to come back due to (finally) breaking my retainer. I went back to the practice today and everyone was so friendly and helpful. It was wonderful meeting Dr. Desai and Hippo!

Elm Tree Orthodontics give you the care you deserve when working with your smile. I've been receiving treatment for a year and the entire staff is absolutely incredible. They also have a brand new service animal, Hippo! 100% kid friendly, premium care for all members of the family. Look no further than this practice to get life long results you can't help but smile at! :)
