We visited Otto Orthodontics for a second opinion for my daughter’s need for braces. Not only were the staff warm and welcoming, they were able to significantly beat pricing from another office where our first consult was held. We look forward to working with them in the near future for our daughter’s orthodontic needs.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your positive feedback! Our team is dedicated to fostering a welcoming and professional environment, and it’s rewarding to know that our efforts are recognized.

Initial placement of both my daughter's upper braces went quick and uneventful this morning! My girls were at ease and the assistants explained everything as they went along. The orthodontist was very kind and personable to me and my daughter's. We were in and out within an hour for both!

Anne P.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Otto Orthodontics. From the moment I walked through the door, I have felt so welcomed, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. The entire team is incredibly kind, professional, and attentive, and the level of service has been exceptional. Dr. Otto has been absolutely amazing, especially during a really difficult and emotional time in my life. I have been dealing with a broken jaw that unfortunately cannot be fixed, and navigating that has been incredibly hard. Dr. Otto has been so compassionate, patient, and understanding throughout the process. She has taken the time to listen to my concerns, explain my options, and make me feel comfortable and supported when I really needed it. What I appreciate most about Dr. Otto is that she treats you like a person, not just a patient. Her genuine care and compassion have meant so much to me during a challenging time, and I am incredibly grateful to have her guiding me through my treatment. The entire team at Otto Orthodontics has gone above and beyond to make every appointment a positive experience. Everyone is welcoming, helpful, and truly cares about their patients. If you are considering Invisalign or orthodontic treatment, I cannot recommend Otto Orthodontics enough. I am so grateful I found Dr. Otto and her team. The quality of care, personal attention, and compassion I have experienced here have been truly exceptional.
