This orthodontist is SO easy to work with. My daughter was bullied because of her teeth and with the help of this practice, we are making things better for her. They are ALWAYS available if any issue comes up. They run their appointments on time and the folks at the front desk are incredibly friendly.

My Invisalign journey took about 18 months from start to finish. Hit a few bumps along the way and had to rescan my teeth a few times, but very happy with how things worked out. I can't say enough good things about this clinic and Dr. Mahood. When my teeth weren't tracking as expected, both the doctors discussed my case and came up with solutions to make forward progress. The doctors and the clinic were very accommodating when I moved to Seattle mid-way through my treatment. Their ortho friends in Seattle helped me a couple times for urgent needs, while Bella Smile was flexible with making appointment times work with my flight schedule. It was also easy to contact the doctors over email/text. I whole-heartedly recommend Bella Smile.

Dr. Bella Shen Garnett and Dr. Kimberly Mahood transformed my smile. They went the extra mile to make sure every detail wasn't looked at and refined. All the additional check-ups have been thorough and personal. The Page Street office has a modern, clean, and welcoming vibe. I'd highly recommend them!

We had our first appointment a few months ago already, and I have to say we are very pleased. My daughter (8) and myself have been treated very nicely, explained (mainly to her, not just me) everything in detail and felt no rush, giving us plenty of time and space for questions and discussion of the why, how, options, etc. The follow up appointments have been just as nice. Usually on time, no waiting in a room forever! And flexible and accommodating in general :)

Dr. Shen was not only compassionate but also cleared up A LOT of questions I'd had for yeeeears about my orthodontia. She even gave me the names of a couple other orthodontists in my network when we realized she wasn't in my insurance network. 10/10 recommend!

We cancelled the day before the appointment because my son was ill, but still received the "how was your visit?" request.
