I love Valeri Orthodontics!! My daughter have been going here for the past 2 years. I will not go anywhere else for ortho care. I have had nothing but excellent service from the whole staff!! Both doctors know what they are doing and treat you so well. The office is gorgeous and when you have an appointment they are always on time, no waiting around for long periods of time! Keep up the fantastic work Valeri!!

Dr. Valeri is excellent. He has a special way of treating his patients and was amazed on how advanced his technology is. My braces were pretty much painless and everytime I had an issue there was availability to me to walk into the office in little to no time. I'd recommend him 100%

Valeri Ortho is very accommodating with scheduling appointments and is extremely thorough with their care. Anytime my son needed to get in for some type of fix it was not a problem. The final results of my son's teeth were beautiful. Thank Dr Valeri for taking such time and care during our son's treatment!

Dr. Valeri is the absolute best! He clearly explained everything in a way that I could understand. He took the time to make sure I was comfortable and confident in my new smile and took the time to get to know me. I also really love the digital scanner so we did not have to take those messy molds!!!

Dr. Valeri was very informative the entire visit. He replaced my lower retainer and provided multiple options on what would be best for my situation. I appreciated the time and care he took to explain and include me in the decision. The environment is comfortable, including TVs in front of the dental chairs and a nice waiting area. I'll be back in the future for any orthodontic needs!
