I can’t say enough about Dr. Ritoli and her staff. Everyone there is friendly, empathetic, and patient. My son has special needs and was referred to this office through our dentist. We do not live close, and would travel 1+ hours one way, so going to the office was a commitment. My son needed braces, was missing one tooth and had another tooth way up on his gum that need to come down. Dr. Ritoli was very gentle and careful which allowed my son to trust the process. Everything worked very well and he got his braces off recently and his smile shines bright! Thank you to Dr. Ritoli and her staff - truly wonderful, caring team. I could recommend them more!

My daughter Ruthie got her braces off today after 7 years of hard work and dedication. It was a monumental task Ritoli group took on due to the complications of her cleft palate. Dr Ritoli and her team are beyond phenomenal, and we love them to death. They treat Ruthie like she is family, and she loves coming here. I was hoping they could improve on the horrible condition her mouth was in, and they performed miracles! Her smile is perfect!
