I had braces from 16 to 21. It took a lot longer than expected, but the people there are pretty nice.

Dr. Brown and her entire staff were always superb - knowledgable, efficient (if not fast!), on-time and very, very nice. Getting kids back to school with as little disruption as possible was always possible. I would highly recommend Brown-Saito Orthodontics to anyone in need of orthodonture work!

Each step of the way they were supportive, communicated everything so well, were always available for questions or any possible need we may have. We had such a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Brown-Saito Orthodontics to all!

Decided when I was 30 to finally get my teeth straightened. The team at Browns walked me through the entire process of choosing invisilign or braces, all the pros and cons. They were clear with scheduling and payment schedules. When I had questions about why and how certain things were done, they took the time to explain them to me. It doesn't seem to be a clinic with high employee turnover, because I saw a lot of familiar faces as I went over the last year. I would absolutely recommend them to my friends and family.

I have nothing but good to say about this orthodontics establishment. I absolutely appreciate the patience and kindness they've shown time and time again. I bring in my two kids (4 months and 4 year old) and they've accommodated to a space with more room separate from others which has been so helpful. Dr. Saito is wonderful, very intelligent. I've had previous ortho work before but this experience has been above and beyond. I'm at the start of a long dental journey with my wiggly front teeth but they've really built trust with me to finally take the steps needed. Rose was amazing during the sign up process in keeping patient with my oldest who is quite the handful and gave me the best resources to turn to. Thanks team!
