Hands down the best practice ever! Seriously complete none of your healthcare needs to the 'Ferlito Standard' as you will be disappointed. Amazing front staff, ALWAYS so polite and patient. They see soo many people and always manage to just sound pleasant, even towards the end of the day. As far as my child's care, her braces are phenomenal, never has complained about absorbent issues and has never had an emergency related to treatment process. Her teeth look phenomenal. Ferlito is well respected in his field as well, referral to an oral surgery dentist he made was also a phenomenal practice. Just cannot recommend enough!!

Dr. Ferlito and his team are the best! I have had braces twice, and both times I went to Dr. Ferlito. Recently, I had jaw surgery to correct a medical issue. As part of the preparation for the surgery, I needed to get braces. I didn't hesitate to go back to Dr. Ferlito after having a positive experience with him the first time I had braces. He did a great job coordinating with my surgeon and constantly kept my surgeon and me informed on my progress. Now my braces are off, and I'm really happy with my results. Also, his whole staff is caring and professional. Every time I call or have an appointment, everyone in the office is so nice. I highly recommend Bradford Orthodontics.

Dr. Ferlito is the best!!! I had braces for about 5-6 years and I couldn't be happier with the result of my teeth all thanks to Dr. Ferlito and his amazing staff. The environment is very friendly and welcoming and I actually enjoyed going to my appointments. Even after losing countless retainers they would always replace them for me. I would recommend Bradford Orthodontics to anyone, they're the best!!
