    Dr is explaining to my daughter what he's doing to do.

    Dr Vincent Spero is the best! My daughter had an infected tooth and he was the only doctor who agreed to see her the next day even though I was calling on a Sunday. He called me back, patiently heard and responded to all my concerns and told me to bring in my daughter early in the morning. And to my major surprise, she just loved him! Neither my daughter nor me like to go to dentists and part of the problem was that she'd refused to go to children's dentists for so long that one day she just woke up with a swollen face and infected gums. When we got there he spent hours patiently talking to my daughter, going over each step and each tool step by step, explaining how things work and how he's gonna fix her teeth. It was an unbelievable experience! He was able to completely get that fear out of her and now she just loves going to get work done on her teeth. We're done with everything and it's been months already, but she keeps asking for a visit, just to go see her Doctor! That's such a great thing for me as a parent to know that she trusts her Doctor! After seeing the care and support my daughter got there, I also got all my dental work done with Dr. Spero! He did a really great job on me. We both are done already and I couldn't be happier with the results! Dr. Spero is very knowledgeable and respectful, he wasn't pushy and would let you take your time every time you needed. Bottom line is that I'm very happy with the work and with the experience both my daughter and I got there! The Dr is highly skilled, the staff is super nice and friendly, have great organization skills, everything is clean, no noise in the waiting room or inside. I highly recommend Dr. Spero for all kinds of dental work for adults and children!

    This arsehole threw money at me when I respectfully gave feedback about my poor experience at the visit. YOU CANT MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

    Thank you, Dr. Lee and your wonderful team. We are truly grateful to each and every one of you for…read moreyour dedication and care. In this big family, we have genuinely felt so much kindness and love. There are so many heartwarming moments that have stayed with us. One time, my 9 years old son insisted on finishing his homework in the treatment area. Not wanting to disturb him, Alvin thoughtfully arranged the meeting with Dr. Lee into the office, and everyone patiently waited until my son had finished his homework before continuing with his appointment. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and kindness. Another time, a pen fell on the floor. Melisa picked it up and carefully disinfected it before using it again. It may have seemed like such a small gesture, but that attention to detail meant so much to me as a parent. It made me feel that my child was truly safe and in caring hands with all of you. There have been so many touching moments like this along the way... We feel incredibly fortunate to receive orthodontic care from what we believe is the best orthodontic team in the world. You have not only helped create a more beautiful smile, but have also helped make every breath easier and more comfortable, while supporting better oral health. Thank you for being with us throughout this journey over the past year and more. We are deeply grateful for everything you have done, and even for creating such a beautiful and welcoming space that feels like a five-star home. And just like family, you remember the children's birthdays and make them feel special by sending your warm wishes on their special day. That thoughtful care means so much to us. The photos below are a wonderful reminder of everything we have accomplished together.

Those that did would only do so with metal wired brackets and extractions. Dr. Lee was the only one offered treatment with Invisalign AND no extractions! The treatment was well-planned, well-documented, and well-executed. Long after my teeth were straightened, Dr. Lee and her office continued to worked patiently with me to make final adjustments until I was completely satisfied with my bite. I used to feel constantly annoyed whenever my teeth would come in contact, but Dr. Lee has given me lasting relief. Vivian Lee Ortho provides excellent value for their expertise and attention to detail. I highly recommend this office. Bonus perks: -Easy parking -Clean lobby, elevator, office. -easy digital scheduling (with text reminders) -Timely appointments -3D Imaging provided detailed visual for treatment diagnosis and explanation. -friendly and knowledgeable staff

From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel like family--they are incredibly welcoming, professional, and accommodating with scheduling. The office itself is always very clean and well kept, which makes for a highly comfortable environment. Before coming here, I was in so much pain, and Dr. Greenberg used homeopathic treatment to help me. Dr. Vickie Greenberg is a true expert. She doesn't just look at straightening teeth; she takes a comprehensive, holistic approach to oral health. I came in struggling with severe teeth grinding and concerns about my airway and breathing. Dr. Greenberg immediately understood the root cause of the issue. Her non-surgical treatments have reduced my grinding, improved my sleep quality, and drastically bettered my overall health. The office has a warm, positive energy, and the quality of care is top-notch. If you want a beautiful smile and a team that truly cares about your long-term well-being, look no further!

During the holiday break, my sister chipped a tooth and couldn't find a dentist in her area who was available to help. Since Ohana Dental had done such great work for me, I decided to take a chance and bring her here. Not only were they able to see her, but they fixed her tooth the very same day. The level of care and service they provided on such short notice is exactly why this place stands out. Highly recommend!

    I truly wanted to give this dentist the benefit of the doubt. I've seen him a couple of times…read morebefore and had a good experience. This time, I felt like he was trying to upsell, but after my most recent visit, I can confidently say that is exactly what's happening. My crown had come off and I needed a replacement quickly, so I returned here out of convenience. From the start, it felt like he was focused on selling me the most expensive options rather than giving honest recommendations. I chose a porcelain crown, but what frustrated me was that he never mentioned that a metal crown would have been a better, longer-lasting choice for a back tooth until after my porcelain crown was permanently cemented two weeks later. Had he told me that upfront, I would have chosen the more durable option without hesitation. He also kept changing his explanation for why my original crown came off. At first he told me it was likely due to the cementing not being done correctly. Two weeks later, he changed the story and said it was probably because of grinding, not cementing. The inconsistency felt unprofessional and confusing. The first appointment was also incredibly frustrating he was overbooked and juggling too many patients, and with only one dentist working, I ended up being there for almost three hours just for a mold and a basic cleaning. I almost didn't make it in time to pick up my kids. Speaking of the cleaning, it was honestly the most aggressive cleaning I've ever experienced. I bled far more than normal not because my teeth were overly dirty, but because of how rough he was. Even when placing my permanent crown and removing excess cement, he scraped my gums so hard that I felt it immediately and tasted blood. It was completely unnecessary. The environment itself is clean, which I appreciate, but the overall experience felt more like dealing with a salesperson than a genuine dentist. Even his staff didn't seem happy to be there. The front staff lady kept asking me to reschedule my 6 month cleaning after I told her twice I was going to call and schedule it later. She even tried asking me to schedule it in January even though I just got the cleaning done 2 weeks ago. Dentist informed me there would be a $350 extra fee to have my crown delivered sooner, something my previous dentist never charged for. It felt like yet another upsell. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. Clean office or not, I want a dentist who is honest, consistent, and focused on patient care not one who prioritizes sales.

Dr. Luu is one of the kindest, most professional, and gentlest doctors we've ever met. We signed our treatment contract in August 2024, and every part of the process met or exceeded our expectations. My daughter, Jasmine, would frequently come home with extra rubber bands and other little items she needed, and we were never charged extra or surprised with unexpected fees or add-ons. My daughter just had her braces removed, and the results are fantastic! We had been a little worried about possible discoloration after treatment, but there was none at all. Her smile looks beautiful. Looking back, the only thing I wish we had done differently was purchasing the extra set of retainers at the discounted rate they offered. We decided not to at the time, but if you're given that option, I'd recommend taking it--it's nice to have a spare set just in case. Wonderful service, an amazing doctor, friendly staff, and a truly positive experience from start to finish. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Luu to anyone looking for an orthodontist. Dr. Luu, thank you so very much for everything. We are so grateful to have had you as our orthodontist throughout Jasmine's teeth-straightening journey. It has been an absolute pleasure, and we will always remember your kindness, professionalism, and wonderful care. We wish you and your entire team all the very best!

My dentist actually recommended Primrose Orthodontics, so here starts my little self-care journey (teeth edition). Dr. Luu and team were great from the very start, from scheduling to actual care. I was ready to drop a pretty penny that was just hanging out in my HSA, but Dr. Luu was transparent and offered me a lot of options and actually recommended I go with the faster and less expensive option since I just needed refinement. Beyond excellent patient care and prompt communication, prices are affordable and I felt like the team spent a lot of time making sure all my questions were answered. They were even accommodating when I told them I had to move some stuff around my HSA before proceeding. Anyway, I'm 6-7 (ayyy) months in, my teeth are straight, and I'm wearing clear retainers over a new smile. 10/10 would absolutely recommend them! Thanks Dr. Luu & co.!
