Our family LOVES this practice, and we have always received top notch care. Dr. Albea is kind, patient, informative, brilliant, and has the best smile! She makes the extra effort to make sure each person who walks through the door has a great and comfortable experience. As an example, one of our children’s appliances broke loose on a Saturday night. Being a busy mom, I messaged immediately when it happened (so that I wouldn’t forget!), and was contacted almost immediately to schedule a time to have it fixed. These are people who genuinely care about each individual. This office is amazing. Don’t bother looking anywhere else, this is the place for you!
This was a fantastic practice to work with. I am older and we decided Invisalign was the way to go. Along the way, there were some “bumps in the road” ( no fault of doctor) and I had to have trays remade or altered. I loved the time frames for scheduling appointments, especially with a school work day. Often, things were able to be mailed which prevented me from having to go into the actual office too often. I always felt like they were willing to work through things with me…and with a positive and thoughtful attitude.
If you’re looking to upgrade your smile, stop now. You found the perfect orthodontist. Dr. Caroline and her team are personable, caring, and professional. 10/10 recommend her to anyone looking to get braces. All my kids will be using her as well.
Dr. Albea and staff were great! They were very patient helpful with my nervous kiddo. Now their smile is even more beautiful than it was before! Thanks!!
Albea orthodontics is great! They demonstrated professionalism throughout the paperwork and consultation process, while also personally attended my concerns and needs. The staff is friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Asheville area. They are worth the drive!
