Office is a friendly and welcoming environment, especially the front desk. The full process to initiate treatment is simple and easy, and includes an amazing attention to detail. Would highly recommend doing your treatment with them.
★★★★★ We had an amazing experience at Schimmel Orthodontics! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. Lucy at the front desk was so sweet, warm, and helpful—and Gibson, their adorable office dog, gave us an extra-special welcome too! Dr. Schimmel took his time with our son, Leo, and explained everything about his braces clearly and thoroughly. He made sure we understood the process and what to expect, which made us feel comfortable and confident that Leo is in great hands. The entire experience felt professional, caring, and personal. We are so happy we chose Schimmel Orthodontics and highly recommend them to any family looking for excellent orthodontic care. Thank you from the Espinosa Family! 💙🦷
He’s the best. He fixed my son’s teeth years ago and now my daughter’s. My son had double row among other issues. My daughter had an over bite every where I went they told me that it couldn’t be fix, but Dr. Schimmel fixed it. Thank you, and the staff is wonderful
Dr.Schimmel, Tatiana, and Lucy (can’t forget about Gibson the front desk manager) ARE EXCEPTIONAL. I have moved a couple of times and will always keep coming back to their practice. They truly care about their patients and only have good things to say. Thank you to everyone there for the quality care they provide.
I cannot say enough good things about my experience! From the very first visit, the entire team made me feel welcome, comfortable, and confident that I was in the best hands. Dr. Schimmel and the whole clinical team provided truly exceptional care. I got my braces less than six months ago, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results—my teeth are now perfectly straight! Spark aligners were faster and more effective than I ever expected. Every appointment was smooth, professional, and pain-free. They explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I was always comfortable. A special shout-out to Lucy! She is an absolute gem. Lucy is friendly, efficient, and incredibly helpful with all the paperwork, insurance, and billing details. She went above and beyond to make everything seamless and stress-free. Her warm smile and positive attitude always made coming in a pleasure.
