Great experience from start to finish. Dr.Desai and his crew take amazing care of their patients and do a superior job with up to date technology. My both kids have beautiful smiles thanks to them. Everyone is always so warm and welcoming. Today we were greeted by Hippo- the office support dog❤️. Thank you, Elm Tree Orthodontics, for our wonderful journey of braces!

Dr. Desai and his staff were truly amazing. I went to him with an issue with pain and I truly thought there was nothing that could correct it and eliminate the pain. Dr. Desai saw the problem and assured me it could be corrected. I opted for Invisalign and followed the plan. Within weeks I was feeling less and less pain. I have just finished the program and now 100% pain free. Would highly recommend Dr. Desai.

We were recommended by my daughter’s dentist to start my daughter’s new journey. I cannot recommend Dr. Desai and his incredible team enough! From the moment we stepped into the office, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. Dr. Desai 's expertise and care is transforming my daughter’s smile, his kindness and attention to detail made every visit a pleasant experience. The entire staff goes above and beyond to ensure their patients feel comfortable and well taken care of. Thank you, Dr. Desai and team, for the exceptional service that you all have been providing. They’re very helpful and have been wonderful to my daughter. From the consultation, to the actual appointment, and all of the communication in between- this has been such a welcoming/worry- free, and at ease. They have helped me out also as a parent with a piece of mind with everything about this whole new experience. They have answered all my questions and are very helpful with all my concerns. Best place ever. I will recommend them to everyone I know!
