Allison D.
Dr. Otto is an earth angel!!! I am grateful our paths crossed. We had an unfortunate experience where my 10 year old knocked out her front two teeth at a friend’s home. At this point, we were not a patient of hers and did not know her. She lived nearby, hopped in her car in her PJs (god love her), came over to reinsert the teeth. Dr Otto continued to check in while we were at Children’s hospital and days/weeks following. She researched and offered guidance on when to start braces. Today was an exciting day with brackets ❤️ Update 8/18/2026– She has had her braces on for 6 months and I am shocked with the progress!! Thankfully no ankylosis
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words, Allison! It's heartwarming to hear how we could help during such a challenging moment. We're thrilled to be part of your daughter's journey toward a beautiful smile.
Krisitna G.
I am 51 wanting Invisalign to correct a few of my teeth that have been bothering me and they were very sweet and professional. Everyone I met treated me with respect and kindness. I am excited to get my teeth/bite corrected.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Kristina. Respect and kindness for every person who walks in is what we stand for, and we are excited for you.
