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 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 ❤️
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.
Tonia W.
The staff and doctors at Otto Orthodontics really care about their patients. They are compassionate and knowledgeable. With so many orthodontists to choose from, I’m really happy with the choice we made to go with Otto for my kids.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! It's great to hear that our team's compassion and expertise made such a positive impact. We look forward to continuing to provide exceptional care for your kids!
