I went in for a consultation with Dr Smith and appreciated how friendly, kind, patient everyone was - particularly Dr Smith and Gisbel. I am immunocompromised and was so appreciative of both of them taking the precautions I requested to keep me safe during the appointment. It’s so rare for healthcare providers to do so these days. Highly recommend!

The Orthodontic Studio is absolutely fantastic! They take everyone but specialize in children. I gave them five stars, I wish I could give them 10. I’m a very tough reviewer. I seldom give more than 4 stars but when it comes to Dr. Smith and her amazing team. I had to relent and give them the deserved 5 stars. My two daughters had a great experience with their braces over the past 2 years! Thank you Dr. Smith & the Orthodontic Studio team!
