We love Sawgrass ortho! The doctors and staff are always very friendly, professional and personal. We're on child #3 in ortho treatment at Sawgrass, and we couldn't be happier with how every smile has been turning out. Additionally, everything on the admin side is also as efficient and pleasant as the treatment side, which isn't the case with many offices. Highly recommend Sawgrass Orthodontics for everyone in your family - you won't be disappointed!

Friendly Doctors & Staff - All of them will remember you with your name by the 1st or 2nd walk-in. Always available when you need them. One of the best cutomer experience I have received so far. Update after 5 years: Went back after 5 years with my daughter to get her braces- same staff and they still remember me and felt like I'm home. With new and specious Weston office, Friendly smile from Laura at front desk, Dr Penny and Dr Kristine with their years of experience made me come back with no second thoughts.

It's been just a couple of months since I trusted this wonderful team to help me achieve my beautiful smile, I am close to 40's and having braces at this age is quiet challenging. I've been treated with so much respect every single time. Dr Kristen, Dr Penny and the rest of the team are amazing! Bevy is the sweetest

Best place. My 3 kids had same orthodontist, Dr Penny , she is the best. The service is excellent. She is very professional, friendly, knowledgeable and she have a lot of experience on her field. My youngest daughter is so happy with this place , she said they are gentle when they work on her braces. My son today over 21, he started treatment with Dr Penny when he was in elementary school, His teeth are so well aligned, they look wonderful. Same with my oldest daughter even older than my son, she started treatment with Dr Penny when she was a teen, she had only one tooth out place and as well was really well aligned thanks to treatment. All the stuff is so kind, professional and friendly. Receptionist Genesis, she is so nice! And all of the stuff is nice as well . The waiting time is not long at all, and price is reasonable. The office is so clean and so neat and they have free coffee. We love this place! :)

I love love love love this office , I was recommended to this company by a friend because her daughter used them & loved them. The staff is so amazing as well as both of the Orthodontist. I still have a few more months before my braces are removed to see my results but so far my teeth look amazing & I know they'll be prefect when that time comes. I highly recommend Sawgrass Orthodontics to anyone

Wonderful place! Peter was great with my 7yr old daughter. She was very nervous but he was kind with her and was quick to notice if she needed a break. We have had 3 family members get braces there and would highly recommend them! They are on time, friendly, knowledgeable and take great care of their patients.

I cannot say enough positive things about Sawgrass Orthodontists. After the loss of my orthodontist, Dr. Yang, my mom and I never thought we would find such an incredible group of professionals. From the fantastic orthodontists to the lovely accommodating ladies at the front desk who handle everything from frantic phone calls to scheduling and rescheduling, to the amazing dental assistants, I have nothing but the highest praise. I came in as a very complicated case and the patience and support of everyone inside this office over the years was above and beyond. I am thrilled to have my braces off, and I finally get to see my beautiful smile. I am truly sad to be leaving this fantastic practice - who my mom and I consider our extended family!! Do not hesitate to give them a call. It will be the most positive orthodontic experience and you will love the results.

One of the best dentists you can go too. Been a patient for years and their employees are heartwarming and nice. They also check up on their patients and sent notecards through mail. I totally recommend this place.

Where do I begin. I was referred to this office and I have also referred people to this office based on my experience. The doctors are fantastic and they work so well together. They have such a streamlined process. I have adult braces. It's never too late to fix your teeth. All ages are welcome to this office. I have seen people get balloons on their birthdays, bags of goodies on braces milestones. I even received a personalized handwritten note card for a special event that I was going to just because I had simply mentioned it as I sat in the chair to change my brace bands to match the event I was attending. (Thank you Sophie)This office gives all their clients white glove service in a family atmosphere. . Everyone will know your name and all your special needs. If you have to make a 1-2 year commitment why not make it with people that care about people! It's not just a dentist office it's truly an experience. It's never a bother to go to an appointment because you are always treated well. Just like the braces become a part of you so does the office it's going to be so hard when I graduate from no braces and eventually no visits. Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Sawgrass orthodontics for all you do and giving your patients beautiful smiles!!!

My daughter felt comfortable during her visit and didn't complain one bit about any discomfort during the application of her braces. Gaby was very gentle and explained everything thoroughly. The office is immaculate, modern and the staff is welcoming and professional.
