Amazing staff. Amazing experience. Highly recommend! Very insightful and helpful in improving our daughter’s airway and lack of room for incoming adult teeth. The team was able to connect latching and feeding complications during her first months (she is currently 10 years old). Incredible experience with having her braces and expander on and off in about a year! With her expanded jaw and open airway she is sleeping through the night again and in turn functioning better throughout the days.
Great staff! My son enjoyed his experience at Hamada Orthodontics. Dr. Hamada was faced with a few challenges with my son's teeth and handled each obstacle with great care. My son and I are gonna miss the ladies here and we will be forever grateful for his new smile.
It’s hard for moms to take time for themselves, their smiles, or even reviews :) but this is worth sharing! Dr. Hamada is so well read, researched, and skilled. She and her team genuinely care for each of their patients. I’m so happy with my own experience at Hamada Orthodontics that it’s my only consideration for my kids, and I think that speaks volumes!
I want to take a moment to share my experience with Hamada Orthodontics. Dr. Hamada truly knows exactly what she’s doing. She doesn’t talk over your head, she takes the time to explain things in a way you can actually understand. In our case, she provided valuable insight into why my son was sleepwalking and explained how the tongue plays a major role in what we were experiencing. Both of my sons received palate expanders in June 2025. Thing 1 received an expander and braces, while Thing 2 received an expander only. Since starting treatment, both of their smiles are looking better and they are much more confident. Most importantly, Thing 2 has not been sleepwalking, and his expander was removed on January 20th. Anytime we needed them or had questions, they were always and I mean always quick to text or call us back, which meant so much to us. I will shout it from the rooftops and beyond, thank you sooooo much, Dr. Hamada and team! We are beyond grateful.
Braces are a fact of life for a lot of people, but getting a great orthodontist is not always a given. Hamada Orthodontics is THE BEST!!! From the time you walk in the door, everyone is kind and accommodating. They work with each patient and the end results are amazing!!! Dr. Hamada can change a challenging smile into something a person is proud of, and that - in turn - makes each person feel SO much happier about themselves. What a gift!
