Why would you ever go anywhere else?! You are comfortable the minute you walk in the office. Beginning with the charismatic duo front office team of Xaymara and Josie. Never have I waited more than 30 seconds before I'm sitting in a chair and beginning procedure with the very experienced and competent tech Vanessa. Finishing up with the amazing orthodontist Dr. Wu. Usually in and out of the office in 15-30 minutes depending on my coarse of treatment. No time to stick around and make your next appointment... don't worry, Xaymara and Josie are on it. Very shortly upon leaving the office you'll receive a call or text with your next appointment. My teeth ( Invisalign ) are almost done and my husband is also finishing up after about 1 year. Both of us are extremely happy with our perfect smiles!

Dr. Wu and his staff are all very friendly, helpful, and efficient! They have been able to get us appointments for urgent issues when needed. They have what I assume is the latest technology (loved the little scope camera that took a 3D image of her teeth!), and the care is excellent.

my first impression of Wu's Orthodontist Office was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They have excellent service and everyone from the front office to the upstairs room made me feel super comfortable. I would definitely recommend Wu's Orthodontist for anyone looking into becoming an orthodontist patient! They also have several options to accommodate everyone! :)

I don't take a second to give a 5 start to Dr. Wu and his awesome team. Dr. Wu is the most professional and knowledgeable Orthodontists I've ever met. He knew exactly what I needed, listened to my thoughts, provided his suggestions, and made a plan that is the best fit for me. I was also amazed by Dr. Wu's staff, who are always efficient, thorough, and professional. I would take my kids to see Dr. Wu when they are at that age. I would highly recommend Dr. Wu to anyone who is looking for a patient, humble, and experienced orthodontist.

Met Dr Wu for a second opinion consult for a complex case. He was very generous with his time and measured in thinking about all possible aspects of the case. I would highly recommend him as a calm, professional and thorough orthodontist. The office is hi-tech, his staff is equally attentive and everything ran on time.
