This was our first time visiting Houston Orthodontist Specialists. The whole staff was very professional and made us feel welcomed. I want to give Francine a HUGE shoutout for going above and beyond and making us feel like part of the family.

Francine was so welcoming and walked us through our consult in a way that made both me and my 10 yo feel comfortable. She took her time in explaining next steps and reassured us that we are in great hands with Dr. Tabakman. Dr. Tabakman has great bedside manner and was wonderful to work with. Glad we are with Houston Orthodontic Specialists!

My experience at Houston Ortho Specialists has been amazing! From scheduling my appointments to the follow-ups, every step has been professional, organized, and welcoming. Ashley was wonderful chairside—she was gentle while making my adjustments, very patient, and took the time to answer all of my questions. She explained what to expect before my next appointment, which made me feel comfortable and well-informed. I also want to recognize the entire team, from the friendly front desk staff to Francine and Dr. T. Their professionalism and genuine care are the reason I continue to make the drive from League City. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you, Houston Ortho Specialists, for providing such outstanding care!
