To start off, I would like to share that this review is coming from someone who can be anxious and over-thinker when it comes to speaking up or bringing up my opinions. Anyway, I just completed my braces treatment and I am absolutely loving and obsessed with my smile. I’m going to go backwards as I describe my experience.

I left the office feeling super confident not only with my smile but myself. I’m glad that I’ll be coming back to the office in a couple months for a check in after my braces have been removed. Oh! It was great to leave with retainers and goodies to keep my retainers squeaky clean

I really appreciated the communication between other professionals and doctor. It made my visits run by smoothly. The only thing I will say is that since I was on the braces treatment, it would become very difficult to reschedule appointments at times. I totally understood the reason why but something to keep in mind if you don’t have as much availability. It can cause a lot of back and forth, as well as for the appointments to be pushed back a week/s. Nonetheless I appreciated their commitment to staying in touch with me, it was so helpful having the option to call or TEXT the office!

My treatment did last a little longer than expected due to the fact that I wasn’t feeling happy with my results (a few weeks before ending my treatment). It took so much from me to share this with the office. It turned out Dr. Lin agreed with me and he worked with me to best understand what I was looking for in my smile. I wanted to keep some of my own features but of course with a better alignment, best described as the “perfect imperfect” as Dr. Lin mentioned. I mean although he said it would be difficult to understand exactly what I wanted, he did it! I feel like I have the smile I always wanted and wished for. I appreciated the doctor’s honesty and knowledge, it was helpful to understand where I was at in the process and where I would be moving forward to. I loved that I was able to voice my opinions, ask questions, hear answers, and have that kind of collaborative discussions about my teeth throughout my treatment.

The environment, the light, the cleanliness, the energy was something that pulled the experience together. I love consistency and I appreciated the attention to detail other people put into this. You can tell how well they take care of the patients and the office. It definitely gives luxury ✨

I remember my first visit. I went by myself after I found out my dad’s insurance was accepted here. I was so excited and nervous. I was welcomed by dear Amber, she was so organized when it came to explaining all the options I had and breaking down all of the questions I brought with me. My mom accompanied me to my next visit and it was such a plus that Amber speaks Spanish! I got so lucky with this, it was so important that my mom knew what was happening and what was available for my treatment. This was all chefs kiss, thanks to Amber my mom understood and agreed to letting me start my treatment at Fellow Orthodontist.

My monthly visits were always smooth. I got to see the doctor and it was all nice and quick. He did start me with the bottom wires first and after a few weeks? I got the top wires. This was helpful to transition into braces and I believe it made the pain a bit more tolerable? I loved loved loved having Suraya (I really hope I spelled her name correctly), she’s an assistant. She has the most gentlest hands ever! Having her remove or place the rubber bands + the mixture of the jazz in the office was a potion for a small nap!

I had a great experience and I love my smile. It was definitely a work of TRUST! Coming from someone that lacks trust, I’m glad I trusted dr. Lin with my teeth :D he does phenomenal work. My sister just started her braces treatment a few months ago & I am so excited for her. I know she’s in amazing hands. Thank you all!!!! I don’t only recommend this place to others but I personally know I would come back if I ever need anything related to Dr. Lins’ specializations!

I googled an orthodontist near me with great reviews, initially just hoping for a quick fix for my bonded retainer that I’ve had for over a decade. From the moment I walked in, Amber at reception was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful—she made the whole process feel smooth, from taking images to walking me through the pricing.

Dr. Lin was gentle, patient, and thorough in explaining my options. What really stood out was how practical and honest he was about possible treatment plans beyond simply fixing the wire. That thoughtful approach completely won me over… and before I knew it, I was already handing my credit card over (lol).

All jokes aside, I’m excited to start my Invisalign Touch Up journey and grateful to be in such capable hands.

Dr. Lin is truly best-in-class. His practice is approachable, friendly, patient, accommodating and customized end-to-end. I’m so pleased with my smile and the care he and his team took in making sure the result was the best it could possibly be. I feel so comfortable with my care plan going forward and know he’d get me in right away if I had any questions or concerns in the aftermath maintenance of Invisalign. I also appreciate how knowledgeable Dr. Lin is. He’s truly an industry expert; his comprehensive expertise in and passion for what he does shines through in every interaction. Lastly, he’s transparent and on his clients’ side. He doesn’t upsell; in fact, he does everything he can to make his treatments affordable without cutting corners and going above and beyond with a meticulous standard. He truly puts the customer first and is the best neighborhood orthodontist in the city. If you let him take care of your smile, you’re in the greatest possible hands!

Best experience ever. Extremely thorough and professional, and I am very happy with my Invisalign treatment. They are very detail-oriented and really care about getting results that make you look natural. I highly recommend you get a consultation with Dr. Lin if you’re thinking of Invisalign’s or other cosmetic work.
