About Center Family Orthodontics
Invisalign transformations, including cases other providers said wouldn't work, headline reviews here, with Dr. Vassiliou now continuing care after Dr. Fischman's retirement.
Center Family Orthodontics treats a wide range of patients, from young children through adults, with Invisalign cited especially often, including cases where patients had previously been told the treatment wouldn't work for them. The office keeps kids engaged with a Fish Bucks rewards program and saltwater fish tanks, and several notes mention flexible scheduling and appointments running on time. Following Dr. Fischman's retirement, Dr. Vassiliou has taken over ongoing care, a transition some reviews describe as smooth and others found frustrating.

Jamie is amazing! Always in good spirits, always positive and excited to make the experience stress free and enjoyable.
Outstanding, honest practice with a friendly, professional staff and charming environment. We went in for an orthodontic consult and Dr. Vassiliou told us our son didn't even need orthodontics but would instead benefit from a cosmetic dentistry procedure (something their practice doesn't do). There were no referrals or mention of other dentists until I asked when checking out, which tells me they are the first 100% honest dental practice I've ever come across. Dr. Vassiliou's consult was thorough and relaxed, and we feel highly confident in her assessment and advice. The environment is super warm and upbeat; the waiting area has a fireplace mantel, small baskets of giveaways and even a "guess how many pumpkin candies in a jar" contest. Our experience was exceptionally positive and I highly recommend Dr. Vassiliou and her team for honest, friendly and relaxing family dental treatment.
We had started at this practice when it was still owned by Dr. Fischman. Unfortunately my child was still a patient when he retired. The orthodontist that took over the practice is extremely unprofessional. I was shocked at the way she treated my child and her unwillingness to talk with us when we reached out to try to resolve the issue.
Dr. Vassiliou and her staff were so accommodating when my baby had to come with me to a long visit. Dr. Vassiliou even went so far as to get us an extra diaper from her car! Great to have a fellow mom as your orthodontist.
The office staff are amazing - always kind, helpful and accommodating. Both my daughters enjoy coming. She gets her tickets at each visit and looks forward to not only a wonderful smile but a gift card of voice at the end. Thank you Dr. Fischman’ office for a great ongoing experiment!
