    I highly recommend Dr Wong and the staff here! La Jolla Village Orthodontics really takes care of their patients. I currently am undergoing Invisalign treatment with the clinic, and whenever an issue pops up with my aligners or buttons, the staff immediately helps address them. Likewise, the experience has been incredibly smooth. Thank you so much for all the care that y'all give!!

    We got the same recommendation from multiple people we trust to come to Drs. Wong and Upatham. Super careful and well trained doctors, sweet staff, efficient and lovely little office. Ethical and caring, no hard sell. We have had experience with other orthodontists and this is our forever home.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Wong and her team!!!! They are really outstanding! I came to La Jolla Village Orthodontics after teeth grinding were shifting my teeth and my bite was off. After 1 year of Invisalign I'm nearly done and my teeth are PERFECT!! They have an outstanding and personable staff, wonderful treatment and lots of wonderful perks :) Just wish I could find a dentist in SD as wonderful as them!

    Very happy with Dr. Wong and the staff at La Jolla Village Orthodontics. They are all very professional, attentive and welcoming. When we had an issue with my son's upper expander, which didn't fit after it came defective from the lab, they were so apologetic that even gave me a Starbucks card! My son always feels very comfortable. Parking is very easy.

    I got consultations from 6 different orthodontists, and Dr. Wong and the staff at La Jolla Village were by far the best I saw. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. Other orthodontists did not think I was a good candidate for Invisalign, however Dr. Wong listened to me and my requests and came up with a reasonable Invisalign treatment plan in a shorter time frame. I'm only a couple months in but can already see results! I would highly recommend La Jolla Village Orthodontics!

    I have been extremely pleased with every visit to La Jolla Village Ortho. Dr. Wong and her staff are more than welcoming and professional. All of my questions prior to treatment were answered, and further information was provided to me so that I could make the most informed decisions for myself. I would highly recommend!

    I was referred to Dr. Wong by our local dentist Dr. Spencer. Her entire staff has been so amazing with walking my son and I through his first stages of getting a expander and braces. Dr. Wong is so sweet and makes this experiences exciting for my son!! We can't wait to see his final results.

    Dr. Wong and the staff at La Jolla Village Orthodontics is the best! I'm currently doing Invisalign treatment to correct my bite and noticed a huge improvement shortly after we started. Dr. Wong is so kind, patient and takes her time to figure out the right plan and treatment for your orthodontic needs. The environment at the office is very welcoming and you truly feel like you're more than just a patient there. I also appreciate the covid precautions they continue to take and always feel safe during my appointments.

    The best orthodontics in San Diego! I had very bad past experiences with dentistries and was hesitant to visit. Luckily, everyone is kind, very patient, and understanding. I am now excited for every visit! (Which is not something I have ever said about seeing a doctor.) Plus it's by the beach, it couldn't get any better than that!
