Wow i don't even know how this place is in business. I had the worst experience here. Customer service is awful. The heavy set blonde lady is only out to get money and does not respect insurance policies.

You serviced my son yet refuse to provide me with information. Guess I'll have to contact the BBB and my attorney. Could have been simple Gail.

Just finished treatment with Dr. Pham for myself and my daughter and I couldn't be more pleased with my results and experience. Dr. Pham's chair side manner is nothing other then amazing, always explained everything, fun environment and great personality. Definitely made me feel like family with the best of care and lived up to the ending treatment results. Thank you Dr. Pham and staff I will be bringing my son for treatment when he is ready as well as refer all friends and family to you.

This place has taken care of me from the start! With one more year left, I never been so excited to have my braces on longer. With the staff and Dr. Chen, I truly feel welcomed every time I come in. Dr. Chen truly knows what he is doing. Even more so, I've met Dr. Pham before, and he seems to know what he is doing too. They both really take care of their patients, and the staff also does their best to do so too. I truly like the ambience in this office, and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for braces or invisalign. 5/5 that is for sure!

I've done two other reviews on this place (i.e. Yelp and Facebook) but I can not recommend them enough! Legacy Orthodontics is such an awesome place that they exude excellence. Not only is Dr. Chen super professional, knowledgeable, and personable, but the staff is also very accommodating and friendly. The environment is very clean and modern too. I felt like I was in the right hands from the start, and I am so happy I trusted my smile with this place. After two years, I am finally braces free! And if I ever need anything, I would def go here again. I highly recommend Legacy Orthodontics!

As an adult, finally decided to do Invisalign for myself. Dr. Pham and his staff were excellent. From initial consultation to getting my first Invisalign set was smooth and they were great explaining what to be expected. Looking forward to great smiles and many kudos to Dr. Pham and his team!!

My dentist friend introduced Lagacy Orthodontics to me as she was searching for a technically good place for her kids. When visiting them I found Dr. Pham very knowledgeable and kind and my kids were comfortable too, so we started the treatment for both of my sons. It's so fun to be at their office as there's always a challenging game for kids and lots of prizes and raffle tickets. Staff are so friendly and nice and I personally enjoy seeing them. Dr. Pham talks about my son's favorite subjects with them and joke with them which is the reason my teenagers don't complain to go to the Dentist's office. Great place, highly recommended!

Doctor Pham I want to thank you for an awesome job you did with my daughter Adriana. She loves the end result and just in time for her Quincenera pre-shoot video and pictures. Not only did you make the process easy but she loved coming to the office she always said the staff and doctor are very nice and carrying. Once again thank you and I will send you more people and my other 2 kids. THANK YOU SO MUCH

I took my daughter to get a consultation for braces two years ago. I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the office, and the way the staff treated my daughter which made her feel comfortable. Dr Chen and Dr. Pham went over her situation and showed concern for her bite that I never saw or thought of until they pointed it out. We started treatment right away, I am grateful to Legacy for giving my daughter a awesome smile that rocks! Thanks again to the whole staff for everything they did.

Legacy Orthodontics has an awesome staff. They are always welcoming and make me feel comfortable everytime I come in. Dr. Pham and Dr. Chen are orthodontists that I can trust because they are honest and perfectionists. Prior to coming here, I had consultations at two other places and they told me I didn't need to pull out any teeth. Come to find out later by the orthodontists at Legacy, if I didn't pull out any teeth and got braces, my teeth wouldve flared outwards which is unattractive. The drs suggested that I get only one tooth pulled out so that it would look straight and not flare out. I am very satisfied with the outcome of my teeth and am glad I chose Legacy Orthodontics.

Great doctors and front office staff! Dr Pham was totally understanding and accommodating to my needs as an adult getting braces. The front office we're super friendly and did everything they could to accommodate my schedule to get me in to see the doctor when I needed. I highly recommend Dr. Pham and Legacy Orthodontics for adults! And I know most of their clients are kids and high schoolers, but they are great for adult clients too!

The Legacy office staff is beyond friendly and makes every visit warm and welcoming. The office and facilities are clean and modern. Dr. Pham is efficient yet thorough during each appointment and procedure. I would highly recommend for families as he treats both children and adults.

Two of daughters got braces here and I couldn't be happier with our experience! The office staff has always been really good to us all. They handled the insurance like true professionals and I never had to worry or do anything. They made it easy for me. They always worked around my family's schedule when making appointments, which was not an easy thing to do. They would send emails for appointment reminders, which I loved because it went right to my Google calendar. The girls liked the quick appointments and the staff was really skilled. The girls tell me the staff in the back was really nice and welcoming. The orthodontist was super personable and always talked to me with updates and issues. The process for the girls wasn't painful either, it was gentle and gradual, but nonetheless, effective! Everyone felt like family there by the end. I'd recommend Legacy Orthodontics to anyone!!

I was recommended to Dr. Pham at Legacy Orthodontics by a family member. I had braces when I was a teenager but didn't keep up with my retainer requirements after the braces were removed. By the time I was in my late 20s, the alignment of my teeth had devolved pretty significantly. I was older and was too conscious of my appearance to get metal braces. I was also in the military and needed to be able to speak on the radio and deploy, so traditional braces were again not an option. Dr. Pham outfitted me with Invisalign and was very accommodating with my irregular schedule. We worked out visits in between my time abroad and and away at training. He was patient with all my questions and was very knowledgeable. The staff at Legacy Ortho was always professional and kind! The technical work was excellent and I am very pleased with the outcome! I would recommend without hesitation if you are looking for consistent, reliable orthodontics work.

My daughter has been coming here for years! (No, they didn't mess up on her braces, she didn't wear her retainer and had to go back for a 2nd round). They are always polite and accommodating. The best part? There is almost always no waiting and they take you at your appointment time - so important when we live our crazy over scheduled lives. I highly recommend Legacy to anyone looking to fix their kids' mouths, or your own!
