This by far is the best location for someone needing braces. I was already in braces for a year and they took over my care and did a tremendous job. There isn't one staff member there who I think did not care about my progress and helping me achieve a nice smile. Both Dr. Porter and Dr. Harris listen, provide advice and really make it their mission to give you a great smile if you do the work required. I'm glad to be out of my braces but would definitely recommend this office to anyone looking to fix their teeth and smile. Service is great from the front desk to the ortho chair, can't thank them enough for the hard work they all put in!!

Although I decided to go with another orthodontist since Porter and Harris Orthodontics was out of network with my dental policy, they were very thorough with my exam and consultation. Chellie the treatment coordinator was outstanding. She was very knowledgeable, funny and professional. I somewhat felt bad for how many questions I had since this was my first time going through orthodontic treatment process and dealing with dental insurance. She was very thorough about the process and answered all of my questions in a friendly and respectful manner and never made me feel rushed. She truly went above and beyond my expectations! Kevin

As a 53 year old guy, the last thing I thought I would need at this stage in my life is an orthodontist! But when I was told by my dentist, that I needed oral surgery (that's a whole different review), teeth straightening, and then dental implants, things changed a bit for me. My dentist referred me to Porter & Harris after the teeth removal to help align my teeth. I have been wanting to get pictures of the office but a review of this nature doesn't seem to require them. Because here is the point - EVERY SINGLE person I have interacted with at P&H, have been absolutely amazing. Every staff member of every team, in every department is kind, patient, understanding, knowledgeable, and here is a key one - empowered. The office aesthetics are welcoming and comfortable. They even have a gaming lounge for the kiddos. I am super grateful that everyone at the P&H team is now on my wellness team. They are the BEST!

Appointment was on-time, staff was friendly and did an excellent job of explaining the diagnosis and recommended treatment plan. My young child felt comfortable and happy with the staff and office, which is important to me (as well as their known clinical excellence). My eldest child had braces with Dr. Porter many years ago and it was an excellent experience. Highly recommend this practice.

My son went for a consultation and everyone was happy and friendly. There was a welcome sign with my sons name on it, welcoming him to the family. They showed me many pictures of my sons mouth so I knew exactly what was going on and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend them.

(Translated by Google) This is a great clinic that was recommended to me by my friends in Orlando. I came from Ukraine and I needed to continue orthodontic treatment, which I started back in Ukraine. I was provided with a free examination and consultation, as well as a replacement archwire and a free consultation with a dentist. I am very grateful to Dr. Harris for the assistance provided at the highest level! (Original) Eto otlichnaia klinika, kotoruiu mne posovetovali mot druz'ia v Orlando.

So grateful for this team! They have taken such wonderful care of my daughter throughout her braces and now implant journey. The details, the promptness, the communication and follow-up is incredible. Most importantly, is how they've cared for her as a person not just as a patient. Quick shoutout to Bethany - thank you for saving her smile for her first prom! She now has made such amazing memories and has a fun story that you will forever be a part of!

I couldn't have asked for a more attentive and personable staff. From the very first phone conversation to the finalization of my twins' treatment plans, everything was explained so clearly and professionally. I'm thoroughly impressed with Dr. Harris and her team!

My experience was overall AMAZING! From walking in, and being greeted by the very kind receptionist, meeting with the awesome treatment coordinator, and talking with the very knowledgeable Doctor who seen things at my prospective. This was beyond set to my expectations. The environment was very clean, welcoming, and beautifully decorated. I love how they are informative, professional, and honest. How ever I wish my monthly payment's wouldn't have been over 350.00 dollars a month. But my treatment was very short so it is understandable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone if you have a long term treatment. Especially if you are a cash paying patient and choose the monthly options. Overall I was very impressed.

Four years of treatment; five figure cost; only to be told nothing more could be done. Thank goodness for Dr. Principe. Get a second opinion.

Porter & Harris Orthodontics has done a wonderful job with both of my kids orthodontic needs. The doctors and staff are very warm and friendly, minimizing any of the anxieties of getting braces. We were provided with very thorough treatment plans, so we could select which options best suited our kids. Both kids had the self-ligating braces,,,fantastic. The in office financing was great and helped to significantly ease the cost management for our family. Communication was excellent throughout the treatment process. We are very pleased with the care and service our kids received and love the new smiles! Highly recommended!
