Le was incredibly through, friendly and gentle with the Xrays and cleaning. I had sensitive teeth and Dr. Ta and Le alway made sure I felt comfortable and pain free. Dr. Ta is fantastic. I was very impressed with her through history taking and how much time she took to go over my exam and her recommendations. I never felt rushed, stressed or in pain during my whole visit. I also have a very tight work schedule and let the team know my time constraints and everyone was very accommodating. I felt seen, heard and well taken care of. 10/10 recommend.

“5 Stars Isn’t Enough — We Love Our Orthodontist! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I honestly can’t understand how this place has any bad reviews because our experience has been consistently wonderful. The office is always packed — and for good reason. Their schedule is full because they are that good, and people keep coming back. I trust them completely with my kids’ smiles. All three of my children have been treated here, and we are thrilled with their results. They genuinely care — not just about straight teeth, but about healthy development. The doctor is one of the kindest, most compassionate practitioners you’ll ever meet, and her staff is exceptional: welcoming, patient, thorough, and great with kids. One thing I appreciate so much about their approach is how thoughtful they are about timing. They don’t rush into extracting teeth before a child’s jaw has had a chance to grow and widen naturally — something that can be crucial for long‑term facial and dental health. While some practices might yank teeth too early, this doctor focuses on guiding jaw growth and making space intelligently so that the permanent teeth have room to come in correctly. That patient‑first philosophy — combined with real expertise — means healthier outcomes and happier kiddos. Beyond the clinical side, she does a lot of charity work, which says a lot about her heart and values. You don’t see doctors doing that unless they truly care about people beyond just business. If you’re looking for an orthodontist who is professional, patient‑centered, high‑quality, and genuinely lovely, this is your place. My kids feel comfortable and confident every visit, and we definitely recommend her to other families!”

“After sustaining a severe trauma injury that resulted in multiple issues—including a jaw fracture and several displaced teeth, I was referred to Shimizu Orthodontics by my dentist. The entire team made an extremely difficult time feel almost enjoyable. While juggling numerous surgeries, doctor appointments, and rehab, Shimizu made my orthodontic care the easiest part of my recovery. They offered the best pricing and made the entire experience a breeze. Their simple appointment setup, helpful reminders, and seamless coordination truly helped make a challenging period manageable. Every member of the staff from reception to the doctors made me feel comfortable, welcomed, and, most importantly, well-informed throughout my Invisalign process. I ended up needing additional Invisalign trays to complete my correction, and there was no extra cost. Given the unique situation I presented, I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. They turned what could have been another source of stress into something I didn’t have to worry about. The office itself is wonderful: clean, comfortable, and stocked with snacks and drinks. The team remembered me at every visit and always made me feel at home. Thanks to the entire Shimizu team, I am now one year out from my injury with a beautiful smile to show for it. I can’t recommend them enough. They truly care about their patients and the quality of the services they provide. Thank you to the entire team!”
