McKenna Orthodontics (West Hartford) has been absolutely wonderful with all three of our kids. Our oldest just finished his orthodontic treatment and his smile is beautiful! They are professional, caring and everyone is just wonderful with the kids and adults! Thank you for being so good to us! 1 down and 2 to go!
I had my metal braces when i came over from Philippines. When i found McKenna Ortho in West Hartford, CT (they also have a branch in Windsor CT) i found comfort with the staff’s smiling faces, greeted me warmly and nicely. Friendly staffs. Very accommodating when i have issues with the schedules and thankful for their assistance to credit my dental benefits from my work. My doctors, Dr. Paul and Dr. Mike are very good in their field. Very knowledgeable and they did a great job in making my SMILE BEAUTIFUL again! I highly recommend their clinic when you have issues with over-bites like mine, and any other issues—-just call them and get an appointment! It was worth it. Kudos to ALL in McKenna Ortho👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.

We had a wonderful experience with my daughter’s orthodontic treatment at this office. From the very first consultation, the team was professional, patient, and very welcoming. Dr. Paul and Dr. Michael were both excellent—knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and truly caring. They took the time to explain the treatment plan clearly, answered all of our questions, and made sure my daughter felt comfortable at every visit. The entire process was smooth, and we could really see the progress step by step. The staff is friendly and organized, appointments run on time, and the office is clean and well-managed. Most importantly, my daughter is very happy with her results and feels much more confident with her smile. Highly recommend Dr. Paul and Dr. Michael to any parent looking for high-quality orthodontic care!
Excellent customer service throughout initial consultation, install, and removal! All the staff members are friendly and kind... 10/10
Started my Invisalign journey a few years ago at McKenna’s. The provider’s and staff are wonderful. They are welcoming and made sure I was satisfied with the process and results. I recommend them to everyone.
