Dr. Peluso and his staff are fantastic. We are so grateful for their patience and care as our youngest went through braces. The office offers convenient late afternoon appointments and really works to provide easy access to care.

Highly recommend! The staff is wonderful. They are incredibly patient and understanding with my son who is on the spectrum. They take the time to explain everything and go above and beyond.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. They walked us through the whole process from the very beginning. My son feels comfortable coming to every appointment and looks forward to participating in the fun contests they do. The facilities are always clean and welcoming. Dr. Peluso is so kind to my son and our family. He gives clear direction and is always encouraging. The admin staff is also top notch. I’d recommend them very highly. The only down side for our family is that he’s only in the VA beach location once a week.
