About LakeStone Orthodontics
Dr. Aabhar Patel has built a reputation for taking over care smoothly when patients transfer mid-treatment, including teens arriving with overdue braces from a closed practice.
LakeStone Orthodontics sees a notable number of patients switching in mid-treatment, and reviews describe Dr. Aabhar Patel picking up where a previous office left off, in one case removing overdue braces comfortably and getting a patient's teeth into shape after years of slow progress elsewhere. Teens in particular are mentioned often, with notes about the doctor taking time to listen and keeping monthly tightening sessions quick and low-soreness. The front desk and assistants are credited with helping smooth the transition for families whose prior practice had closed.

The most amazing experience. We just moved from Tampa, Fl and I cannot thank Dr Patel enough for making this transition so smooth for my son and I. Very thorough and extremely professional. He was so honest I couldn’t have picked a better place for my son to continue his dental treatment!

I had an excellent experience at Lakeshore Orthodontics on Hopkins rd in Buffalo. Dr. Patel was extremely courteous, professional, and very knowledgeable. He carefully removed my teen age kid’s overdue braces (missed appointment from another Ortho at Sheridan drive, so we were asked to pay 2K just to remove braces they were the treating docs too they were greedy) made the entire process comfortable and stress-free. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and efficient, making me feel at ease from the moment I walked in. Their teamwork and positive attitude really stood out. I truly appreciate the outstanding care and excellent customer service I received. I highly recommend Lakeshore Orthodontics to anyone looking for a skilled orthodontist and a caring, professional team! 5 ⭐️ s Happy Mom Rathi Ravi
