Hello, my name is Sarah. I have been in the orthodontic field for 15 years. I am a people person and knew this field was for me since day one. I love to transform peoples smiles and get to know them as they go through treatment. I am very hands-on when it comes to the kids here as I have two of them myself. In my time off, I love spending time with my family and our four dogs.

Used by a child aged family member after our dentist suggested. The experience... Customer service: If you are military, middle class, attend church on Sunday, and have a 1950's family, this place may offer you a good experience (nothing wrong with this but needs to serve ALL customers). Vibe was part of the good ol' boy network of the AV. The AV from 20 years ago. You may want to look for yourself or child elsewhere. Started off well, but showed through with time. Booking: availability is limited and often appointments run late Expense: slightly above average, but not outrageous Records.: needed a replacement retainer (common with children/ teens) the records were gone and recommended to start the process over for Invisalign with the high price tag. Positive: the office staff were professional and had good customer service. They have snacks and drinks in the waiting room. Clean, seemed knowledgeable, good technology. Toothbrushes provided for brushing at the appointment.

Today was an amazing day. Viv had her braces removed. This is the one kid I thought wouldn't need braces because her permanent teeth where so straight and beautiful. In May she suffered a horrible bike accident that caused her permanent front teeth to fall out. In a panic I reached out on a Sunday to Dr. Buckley, he answered my call, not knowing if he'd be able to help, he had me rush her in. he and his daughter went straight to work. they did everything possible to save her teeth. Putting braces on those teeth to hold them up. After taking care of her for the last 6 months, he felt confident enough to take her braces off today. I can't say it enough on how thankful we are that he answered our call for help and did everything he could to save her teeth. THANK YOU. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, because of you she has her beautiful smile back.

I don't know how there are any negative reviews on this site about this place. Dr. Buckley is very professional and caring about each of his patients and doesn't fail to provide amazing service. We payed a good amount of money for my braces but I had a great experience all the way through and was even able to take them off earlier than anticipated. After our experience at bright now dental with my older sister, this orthodontist was a god send!

After an extremely bad situation with a local ortho who is strictly for profit I decided to shop around and go to Dr. Buckley. Yes, I paid more money to get a mistake taken care of. I highly suggest this Dr. The reason he is hands on and sets up each patient!

Dr. Buckley and staff are fabulous. My son's teeth need a lot of work and everything is moving along nicely. Appointments are made to work around school schedules. Generally, you don't have to wait long for your appointment. We have had a few times something went wrong with the braces and had to go in and have them fixed. For this, you can just walk in and they happily put you in between appointments and handle the situation. Again, generally you don't have to wait very long. We have been pleased and have found most of the Antelope Valley have had their teeth straightened by Dr. Buckley, anotherwords, there are a lot of beautiful smiles due to Dr. Buckley.
