“First this review has been long overdue and I’ve already completed my treatment of Invisalign here at Simply Orthodontics. But let me tell you right now stop looking for another office. Sure ortho is not cheap so that’s why it’s so important to find somewhere that will actually listen to you instead of looking at you with dollar signs. I’ve done my research and I made the hour commute to come here is honestly because I felt heard and seen. So many places just made me feel forced or pressured to sign with them same-day and didn’t really give me the chance to think it over. So when I met Min I knew instantly this was it I finally found my dental home to help correct my bite and smile. She was so kind and listened to me that I felt I wasn’t just a patient but part of their family. Being taken care of from the beginning to end their level of service and communication was like a 5 star luxury hotel. Dr Shung was always great he doesn’t give you the stuffy old school I won’t talk to you vibes. Instead he will find topics to chat with you and he’s like the nicest doctor you will ever meet. They remember the little details and the staff actually greets you by your name. I can go on and on about how amazing Simply Orthodontics is but you just have to try them out yourself. The consultation is complimentary so it doesn’t hurt to give them a chance. Also they are upfront with pricing and have payment plans available which is so helpful. I appreciate their honesty and how they are transparent so you know they truly want the best interest for you. Trust me when you enter their doors you will feel their warmth and hospitality waiting to welcome you to be part of their dental family.”

Dr. Y is like a wonderful neighbor you wish was your actual neighbor. The skill, patience, and kindness the dentists have here speak volumes. I remember dreading going to the dentist when I was a kid! I would literally run and hide when I knew it was time to head to the dentist. My daughter however, has no fear of dental visits with the team here. It's not like my daughter hasn't had any treatments that would point to that. She's had tooth extractions, braces, retainers, the whole nine yards performed with the dentists here! Yet, she's not afraid one bit. That is priceless to me, as feelings of terror and anxiety on the other hand, are so hard on kids. I can confidently and DO recommend this dentistry office to any parent looking for dentists who don't strike the fear of God in their kids (LOL) and provide next level customer service.”

All patients are well-cared for, creating a welcoming feeling akin to coming home—unlike some local dental practices where you might feel neglected. Dr. Hsiao’s wife, Kay, treats every patient with care, remembering our needs and wants and treat us with extreme patience. I first discovered this place when I received a free cleaning through the UCI insurance plan. The service was very professional, and I ended up coming regularly for exams, cleanings, all the way to fillings and crowns. I feel safe to discuss any concerns I have with the doctor, as he is knowledgeable in his job and always keep good track of all patients’ tooth history and conditions. Unlike other providers, Dr. Anko does a very great job as he always take time looking into patient’s x-ray and tooth condition carefully. He also has all those expensive latest technology products and use them on every patient as needed (e.g. ultrasonic digital 3D tooth model collector, lazer gun, hygiene machines). I did two crowns, one inlay, and one extraction of wisdom tooth in the last few years - all turned out to be very well done. No single pain at all and I safely treat them as a regular tooth. I would definitely recommend this dentistry to everyone looking for quality job and great service at a reasonable price.”
