    I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Yamada and her team. Before finding Dr. Yamada, I…read moreconsulted another orthodontist who told me that I would need major jaw surgery to pull my lower jaw forward before he would even consider straightening my teeth. The surgery alone was estimated to cost around $29,000, not including the cost of orthodontic treatment afterward. When I came to Dr. Yamada for a second opinion, she took the time to carefully evaluate my case and developed her own treatment plan. Instead of immediately recommending surgery, she found a way to successfully straighten my teeth without it. I am incredibly grateful for her expertise, thoroughness, and willingness to think beyond the standard approach. The entire experience was excellent from start to finish. I also had two very sensitive lower teeth, and Gabby, Dr. Yamada's assistant, was always exceptionally gentle and careful when working around them. Her kindness and attention to my comfort never went unnoticed. Dr. Yamada is knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate, and truly dedicated to her patients. Thanks to her, I now have straight teeth and avoided a costly and invasive surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Yamada and her wonderful team to anyone looking for outstanding orthodontic care.

Buena Vista Orthodontics is what you're lookin' for... Thanks, Dr.Yamada and team.

I had an emergency situation and my son was in major pain. And any parent knows, when your baby is hurting you're desperate for help. Brenn Orthodontics was referred to me, and we rushed over there. It was a unique situation and I wasn't even sure they could help. But they all worked together (with gentleness and compassion) and got helping right away. They even called someone else in to work early to help. This (all girl) team, were like super hero's. It was tricky but they totally fixed the problem and got him out of pain. We both even got popsicles AND craziest of all... they didn't even charge us!! Listen, in a world full of weird dark stuff seemingly around every corner in the news and on social media, it gives me so much hope that people and businesses such as this, exists. Thank you guys. I'm overwhelmed by your professionalism, kindness, and generosity. - Tony (dad). (And Gav says thank you so much too!) :)

    Sadly I had a horrible experience at this doctor. I came in December of 2024 after a traumatic…read moreaccident had broken a tooth and my fixed retainer behind my top teeth. I had the fixed retainer for over 15 years without an issue after getting orthodontic treatment as a teen in France. While my tooth got fixed, and the inside of my mouth healed after the accident, my top teeth moved. I had an initial consult with Dr Brenn and I made it very clear that I wanted another permanent retainer like the one I had. They told me no problem. During my consult they also said they would angle my teeth down. After returning home, I emailed them that this was a concern to me, because I didn't want to bite down on my retainer. They called me and reassured me that there would be no problem. During my treatment which laster over a year (much longer than originally planned), I repeatedly reminded them that I wanted the fixed retainer. I also told them that I was experiencing a LOT of jaw pain, which was dismissed as "you must be clenching". When my treatment was finally over, they said there would be no room for the permanent retainer, that I would bite down on it. I reminded them of their initial promise and my old email, and they reluctantly said that they would try, but I should probably go somewhere else. I did go somewhere else and got a permanent Memotain retainer installed. While getting scanned at this other doctor, I finally realized that the jaw pain I was experiencing was due to the way Dr Brenn ALTERED MY BITE! They changed my bite by angling my top teeth down so my bottom teeth hit my top teeth in two places, causing PERMANENT PAIN! I will eventually have to get another orthodontic treatment to fix the damage they did! I emailed them with all this information, asking for a partial refund, considering I had to pay a retainer somewhere else, and will have to get another treatment later if I want to ease the pain. 3 weeks later I got a letter in the mail saying they won't refund me. They are horrible doctors! They will tell you what you want to hear then backtrack later. They don't take responsibility for their mistakes and are actually negligent and unprofessional. They are like a factory, with no personalized treatment, you will be seen one by one like on an assembly line. The office and equipments are outdated, the doctor is rude and dismissive. I absolutely regret getting my treatment done here, and I am warning everyone who is thinking of going there, don't do it!

I went to a consultation with him and aside from feeling comfortable, I could see how experienced, professional and knowledgeable Dr pita is. He truly cared about helping me get the smile I wanted and also ease my pain when flossing cause of the crowding. We started the process and he was very informative every step of the way answering all my questions. Every follow-up I could see how detailed he was and also how he was always looking - not just at my teeth aesthetically, but also the health and structure of teeth, roots and mouth. The attention to detail and the amount of care was unexpected and so appreciated. And now, after the whole process has been completed, I have straight teeth!!! I smile with confidence!!!

Everyone does their job with the utmost professionalism and kindness! The front office staff always greet us with a smile and a kind word. When we've had to change appointments or come in for emergency bracket repair or replacement, it's never been a problem. The office has always made time for us. I could write a book on the entire process from start to finish on all the reasons Dr. Fotovat is the right choice for your child's (or your) orthodontic needs. We really appreciated his measured approach with our boys who had very different orthodontic needs. He checked our boys every six months for a couple of years before determining the time was right for them to begin their orthodontic journeys. Our older son's teeth were fairly straight, but he had a bit of an overbite that needed correcting. He only needed one phase with the braces starting toward the end of middle school and was done by the end of his freshman year in high school. Our younger son had a multitude of issues from overcrowding to crooked teeth to a major underbite. Dr. Fotovat worked on him in two phases, beginning when he was eight years old. After completing the first phase which included expanders and one round of braces, he waited to start the final phase until his jaw growth slowed down to ensure the best possible outcome. Both boys have the most beautiful smiles now. We could not be happier with their outcomes. Dr. Fotovat really cares about his patients, and he cares about their outcomes. We continue to highly recommend Dr. Fotovat and his team to our friends and to anyone who asks.

I had a very challenging case that took years to complete, and there were moments when I felt discouraged, but they never stopped supporting me or believing in the process. Everyone always took the time to explain things clearly and made sure I felt comfortable and informed every step of the way. Dr. Fotovat was especially gracious and thoughtful, always willing to adjust the plan and find the best path forward so I could achieve the best possible results. I am beyond happy with my outcome and so proud of myself for staying the course. It truly says a lot that I was often excited to go to my appointments, which is rare for any orthodontic or dental office. The office itself is pristine, warm, and welcoming, with impressive state of the art technology that made me feel confident I was in the best hands. I am honestly a little sad that I will be seeing them less now, but incredibly grateful for the experience and the results I have to show for it. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Fotovat and his team to anyone considering orthodontic treatment. Thank you all for everything!! :)

I'll be upfront, dental and orthodontic visits have always made me anxious, but I've felt so comfortable here. Dr. Reyna has a way of making you feel completely at ease without ever feeling rushed or dismissed.

Every single person I've interacted with there strikes the perfect balance of personable and professional; warm enough to calm your nerves, and skilled enough to give you total confidence in your care. It's rare to find both in one place, let alone consistently across an entire team. I've built great rapport with them, and have looked forward to catching up with them on my visits.
