Can't say enough good things about Dr. Grinbaum. She and her staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and understanding. I felt costs and payment options were very clearly laid out for me with no pressure to go in more expensive directions. Only a few months into treatment, I'm super happy with my results, and I feel I have a very clear idea of what is going to happen every step of the way. Highly recommend!

Dr. Grinbaum's office has the best service that I've received at a consultation. I went for an Invisalign consultation and her team made me feel super welcomed. I got pictures of my teeth taken and a 3d scan done. After that, Dr. Grinbaum spent time with me to answer all my questions. She didn't rush me at all and made sure that all my questions were addressed. Of all the Orthodontist that I have met with for consultation, she is one of the most involved doctor.

July 19, 2018Julie B.Verified patient
This practice is very well run, professional and very knowledgeable . Kelly and Cheryl were amazingly welcoming and very informative. Dr Grinbaum is extremely thorough and very clear on time of wear, possible discomfort and results. I was shown a digital image of what my teeth would look like after treatment. I have been searching for orthodontic treatment behind the teeth for a while. I am so glad I found this practice.
June 23, 2018Dina D.Verified patient
Very clean office! The aesthetics of the office are very nice too! It's a very cute and comfortable environment! Dr. Grinbaum is very nice too! She explained my options for invisalign or a retainer! I appreciate the office breaking down the price for me as well for the treatment!

I am currently undergoing orthodontics treatment with Dr. Grinbaum, and she along with her team have done an amazing job thus far with preparing me for my upcoming oral surgery. Every individual in the clinic is very warm and welcoming, while efficiently ensuring prolonged time is not spent at each appointment.
