Her and her receptionist are extremely nice and she made my teeth look so amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better Orthodontist.
i really love the treatment even though i miss my braces i think my teeth look amazing thank you
Alert ‼️ 👎 I had a very distressing experience with this orthodontist’s office. I requested copies of my records for my daughter orthodontist treatment which I am entitled to as a parent and was told they would call the police while I was in the office. After that, I received a phone call stating that my daughter’s braces could be removed, and this was said in a way that felt like a threat related to a billing dispute. My daughter overheard this, which made the situation even more upsetting. In addition, there were ongoing issues with insurance billing including claims not being properly submitted while I was still being doubled charged directly. I have since transferred care to another provider, but this experience was extremely unprofessional and concerning. I strongly recommend that patients keep detailed records, confirm that insurance claims are submitted, and understand their rights dealing with this orthodontist's office .
Dr. Cirtu is amazing. Prior to meeting her, I had been shopping around for the most affordable orthodontics treatment. After we met, I was sold not only on the price, but her service. She made me feel more than comfortable and I looked forward to every visit. I finished my adult-braces (ceramic) treatment a decade ago, and moved nearly an hour away from the office, but that didn't deter me from pursuing her services for my older daughter's (traditional style) treatment. She completed recently, and now both of us have the smile of our dreams. Neither of our treatments were covered by insurance- not deemed medically necessary- but I knew from my own experience that an artisanally designed smile is an investment in your overall well-being. They say you can't put a price on confidence, but I beg to differ. Confidence may be invaluable, but the right orthodontic treatment can get it for you. I can't wait to have her magic hands grace my younger daughter's smile next. Thank you so much, doc! We appreciate you!
My first appointment with Dr. Cirtu was over several years ago, when I met her to have braces put on for my daughter, who wore them for a few years. Seeing how beautifully my daughter's teeth turned out, I decided to get braces myself. I wore them for over three years. There was a lot of work to be done in my mouth, and Dr. Cirtu always said she loves a challenge. I've just now had my braces removed, and I'm extremely happy with my new smile. I'm very grateful to her and highly recommend her to everyone. If you're looking for an orthodontist where you feel like part of a family, she is the only choice. She is so kind and incredibly friendly.
