My son was referred to this office by his regular dentist and we could not be happier. The staff is phenomenal and are very understanding about life happening. Everyone does their best to make your visits as easy and comfortable as possible. Their goal is to assist in making your smile as beautiful as it can be. Thank you all for everything. I will recommend your office to anyone who asks.

Fantastic team. Just finished up a little less than 2 years of treatment which prepped me for jaw surgery. Dr Lotzof coordinated with Dr. Berger and my dentist for integrated care. Very professional and friendly. I'll miss them but grateful to be complete!!!

I found this place on Google and scheduled an appointment, they were very flexible with my schedule, providing great service and a very memorable experience. This was my first time with them but I will definitly be coming back if I have any orthodontics-related issues in the future. Dr. Lotzof was very friendly and had a cool accent that contributed positively to the overall experience. 10/10 experience.

I can not speak highly enough about Dr. Lotzof and his staff. Quality work, friendly, and fun. My mouth was difficult. It took my dentist (Mesa Dental), an oral surgeon (Dr. Burger), and Dr. Lotzof coordinating to complete my plan. Wow! is all I can say about my new smile.

Dr. Lotzof is hands down one of the best orthodontists. I had braces twice in my lifetime - as a youth and then as an adult under Dr. Lotzof's care. He put in a permanent retainer that lasted over 20 years! If you want it done right and with quality I highly recommend. Not to mention he and his staff (notably Ellen and Michelle) are extremely professional and friendly!!!

Nice & modern office, great staff members. I highly recommend Dr.Lawrence due to several reasons : 1- from day one he answered all questions and give all the time needed to explain and clarify the problem that i've had with my teeth and the plan to fix it. 2- i had a cross-bite and some jaw problems because of my genes, some places might recommend a surgery for such situation, however, Dr.Lawrence was confident enough to treat me without surgery. 3- Timing : although its always an estimate, but we had a 2 year plan and didn't exceed it much ( 25 months). The result was better than expected, nice and mesmerizing smile, its like dream came true.

As a senior, at the age of 70, it was a hard decision to undertake wearing braces for 2+ years but with Dr. Lotzof's patience and the wonderful care I received with Ellen and the doctor at every visit, I cannot say and thank you enough for a wonderful and worthwhile outcome.

Dr. Lotzof and his staff are fantastic! I had a serious cross bite and Dr. Lotzof created a plan to get it fixed with Invisalign and even extended my treatment at no charge to get it perfect. I'm one of those people who are really uncomfortable with doctors, dentists, etc... and all the staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. Highly recommend.

Dr. Lotzof and staff have treated our family incredibly well. So thankful to be able to trust them with both my son's and my daughter's braces. Husband also had braces put on by Dr. Lotzof. He is a really neat person and all of his staff will put you at ease too, no matter what age you are!

In my mid-teens, I had a consultation with an orthodontist who acted really upset that I had not had braces yet! In my mid-20s, I had a consultation with a 2nd orthodontist who said I needed jaw surgery in addition to braces. In my early 30s, I was lucky to meet Dr. Lotzof, who calmly and confidently delivered amazing results with a smile.

I am in my late 30's and wanted to correct my bite and teeth crowding, primarily for the long term jaw and tooth health reasons. My primary dentist recommended Dr. Lotzof and after reading his reviews decided to give it a try. I have been very happy with my treatment and final results! I must say it took a while, but given my age, this was not unexpected. We first tried three times with Invisaligns, but I had a stubborn tooth that refused to rotate, so we had to go in with partial braces. After several more months on these and gradual increase in rotational force, my teeth finally got aligned! Dr. Lotzof has a very professional and well-trained staff and had always taken care of the treatment and confirmed/ checked the progress and recommended continuation of treatment at each visit. I was very pleased with his treatment, other doctors/ technicians in the office and friendly and professional front desk staff. While orthodontists are expensive in general and your dental insurance might cover a smaller portion of the total amount, I was never asked to pay any additional money through the long course of my treatment. Dr. Lotzof also offered monthly payment options. It's never too late to correct your teeth! I strongly recommend you go for a consultation in Dr. Lotzof's office!
