I've been getting my treatment here for about a year now and I have nothing but good things to say about the whole office staff. Everyone is very gentle, friendly and transparent about your treatment plan. Mindy was great in helping us figure out w financial plan that worked best for us and explained everything thoroughly in that department. I had braces for 3 years as a teen and I have to say the experience this time around with Dr. Siem has been so much more pleasant. Katy, Daniela and Brenda are great as well. Absolutely no complaints!
Response from the owner:We’re thrilled to hear that you felt welcomed and well-informed during your visit. Dr. Seim and Mindy will be so happy to know they made a positive impression. Creating a friendly and supportive environment is always our goal, and we're just as excited to be part of your journey. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Prompt and compassionate care from Dr Shapiro and all staff I was in contact with. First visit there after a traumatic accident and they put me at ease with their positive attitude. Even all the patients in the comfortable waiting area seemed happy. Update after 1 year: first impressions were confirmed. As I near the end, a painful situation has changed to a nice one. Heather has been careful to reduce my anxiety with humor, and has been gentle when working on my fractured teeth. I really appreciate it.
Response from the owner:Thank you Paul. We are so happy you chose us to help you have your accident! We are always here to help!!

Went for a consultation this morning after reading great reviews on Facebook and Yelp. The office is very inviting and the staff is awesome! The equipment is state of the art and Mindy thoroughly explained everything as she took me through the evaluation and x-ray process. Dr. Shapiro was very friendly and professional as he did the evaluation and explained my treatment plan. Mindy then went through all my options, pros and cons of each approach and patiently answered all of my questions. Nothing was rushed and I did not feel pressured at any time. My experience was certainly representative of the great reviews I've read on FB and Yelp. I also beat my husband playing the Connect Four game in play area for the kids, so there is that, LOL!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you felt welcomed from the moment you walked through our doors and that Mindy and Dr. Shapiro took the time to thoroughly explain everything and answer all of your questions. We believe every patient deserves to feel informed, comfortable, and never pressured, so it's wonderful to know that came through during your visit. And congratulations on your Connect Four victory! 😊 We love hearing that you had a little fun while you were here. Thank you again for your kind words and for trusting us with your care. We look forward to helping you on your journey to better health!

Dr. Shapiro is a badass! If I could give 10 stars, it wouldn't be enough. I'm a clinical therapist and I value patient care. Dr. Shapiro's team has become like family. They're all so kind and welcoming, and I never leave without great conversation. They mean a LOT to me. I had prostate surgery in March, and I received a get well soon card from his team. That will ALWAYS mean a lot to me. He didn't cut any corners and he made sure I was happy with the finished product. Tracy, Brenda, the entire office staff.....family! I would send ANYONE to be cared for by Dr. Shapiro, and it doesn't surprise me that many of my friends have been patients of his. We have sent three of our children to be cared for by Dr. Shapiro. It's bigger than the work. He really cares for people and it shows. Thank you for the smile my 16 year old self needed, but couldn't afford.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and heartfelt review. Reading your words truly means the world to all of us. From the very beginning, it has been our privilege to care for you and your family. Knowing that you trust us not only with your own care but also with your children is one of the greatest compliments we could receive. We are especially touched by your comments about our team. Tracy, Brenda, and the entire staff work hard to create an environment where patients feel welcomed, valued, and cared for, and your recognition means more than you know. We're so happy that a simple card could bring some comfort during that time. For us, Orthodontics has always been about more than creating beautiful smiles—it's about building relationships and caring for the people behind those smiles. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey and for sharing your experience so generously. Seeing your confidence and happiness with your smile is exactly why we love what we do. We are grateful for your friendship, your trust, and your continued support over the years. We hope you will stop by to say hi. Our doors are always open. With sincere appreciation, Dr. Shapiro and Team

There are not enough words to express how grateful I am to Dr. Seim and her incredible staff. Choosing Invisalign was a big decision for me, and from day one, Dr. Seim made the entire process easy, comfortable, and stress-free. Dr. Seim is not only exceptionally skilled at what she does, but she is also kind, patient, and genuinely cares about her patients. She always took the time to answer my questions and made sure I understood every step of my treatment. Her attention to detail and commitment to excellence truly show in the results. The staff deserves just as much praise. Every single person I interacted with was friendly, professional, welcoming, and supportive. Walking into the office always felt like being greeted by people who genuinely cared about my experience. Today, I can honestly say that I absolutely love my smile. My teeth look amazing, better than I ever imagined they could. The transformation has been incredible, and my confidence has grown tremendously because of it. Every aligner, every appointment, and every bit of patience was worth it. Thank you, Dr. Seim and your wonderful team, for giving me a smile that I am proud to show off every day. You have made such a positive difference in my life, and I will always be grateful for the outstanding care you provided. I highly recommend Dr. Seim to anyone looking for an orthodontist who combines expertise, compassion, and truly exceptional results.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful words and your 5 star review! Congratulations on your beautiful smile!
