3 sets of braces with this group. Great experience, staff is very friendly.
Dr Lisa and staff are knowledgeable and personable. Even with a long and complicated treatment, I felt well cared for.
Beware, I went to CMOA for a small alignment issue ended up with ruined alignment. I will now need expensive corrections costing over $5,000.00 and have lost a lot of tooth mass. Before seeing them my teeth all touched when I bit down but I had one upper tooth that was rubbing on a lower one in a bad way. They said this would be a simple fix only requiring top aligners. After finishing treatment with the aligners my teeth were no longer rubbing in front but now my bite felt awkward. I told the doctor this but he said it's normal. A few months later I went to my dentist and she said the only teeth that were touching were my back molars and if that didn't change they could crack or wear away. Also they noticed I had lost some tooth enamel on my other teeth due to my bite being awkward now causing a lot of my teeth that were fine before to wear away to points. I went back to CMOA and told them what was happening and they refused to take any responsibility for it. They told me I "must have had an accident that effected my jaw" and when I told him I had not he said I must have but I forgot about it. The only thing I did was wear the aligner like they told me to. He still said it wasn't his fault and he couldn't help me. He sent me to a specialist to prove it wasnt his fault and they didn't find anything that would explain the issue besides the aligners. I wish I had never gone to see them. I have since had this corrected at great cost by a better orthodontist.
Both my children see Drs. Lisa and Greg at CMOA, they are great with the kids, staff is friendly, locations are super convenient to us. Highly recommend!
Very clean, organized, and everyone was super welcoming! Dr. Lisa Giarrusso was so nice, explained everything, and made my daughter feel very comfortable!
