About Ronald P. Kolodziej, DMD, MS, Specialist in Orthodontics
Dr. Ronald P. Kolodziej draws praise for handling complicated cases and delivering finished smiles families describe as beautiful, especially with teens in braces.
Many reviews highlight Dr. Kolodziej's attention to detail and patience in explaining treatment plans to both patients and parents, particularly for teens getting braces. Results come up often, with mentions of corrected overbites, straightened crowding, and renewed confidence once treatment wraps up. Several families note bringing multiple children through the practice over the years, and a few reviewers who had braces elsewhere before contrast their earlier experience unfavorably with this one.

I was in late 40s when i got my braces. I dont regret it, I only wish that I had opertunity earlier. My teeth are still great after years of my braces off. It felt friendly and professional here with Dr. Kolodzeij and his staff. I recommend this office for your orthodontics. I'm bringing my daughter her and it's still the same friendly and professional office.

Dr.Kolodziej is kind, knowledgeable, caring, and a pleasure to meet for my seven year old and myself. He takes the time to truly recommend what he feels is in the best interest of the patient and family. We visited the Brooklyn location which is conveniently right off the highway. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a honest, smart, and skilled orthodontist. He is the perfect amount of talkative and encouraging to the patient while doing a very detailed consultation to tailor the treatment plan to the needs of the individual patient. All the other employees were also friendly and kind, especially with scheduling. We will see you in the future, thank you!
