    They treat us amazing and are very prompt. Also, I love it that they have good incentives for kids with their Orthobucks.

    This orthodontist is just awful. Gave me tons of empty promises, provided with misleading…read moreinformation about my case, did not document all the teeth manipulations and I feel was just pushing me to more expensive treatment. Based on my perception he is either incompetent or was just acting in the bad faith. Another story most of the work was done by his assistant who are treating your teeth like you a couple more extra sets in advance. When they were removing my braces they detached a front layer of my enamel which is just terrible. I honestly would not recommend this doctor to my worst enemy. Ah, last but not least - take a look how many yelp reviews are marked as not recommended - there is a probability they are using unfair/fake reviews to keep the rating high.

    Dr. Cobain is the absolute GOAT. I had gotten a crown recently (nighttime retainer no longer fit)…read moreand I went in for a consultation thinking by the end of the appointment I'd have to pay an arm and a leg for a new Invisalign retainer. However, Dr. Cobain looked at my old one and adjusted it in about 2 minutes, making sure it felt comfortable for me. Perfect. Super thankful to Dr. Cobain and Dana for their kindness and efficiency. I'll be back when I'm ready for the Invisalign! Also the interior office space is very cute, great for kids who may be hesitant about dental/ortho visits.

    Excellent work! My teeth look beautiful! Watch out for (1) up sell and (2) billing practices. Left…read morepractice when dental hygienist tried to convince me I needed a $1500 deep cleaning as gums tender from chemo/radiation. Sought second opinion and glad I did! Recovered well with regular cleaning! Still wonder about the doctor's oversight of staff. Should the doctor not have reviewed and approved the recommended $1500 treatment? Another point of dissatisfaction has to do with billing. Paid in full ($3500) for Invisalign. Insurance, surprise, contributed $800, paid directly to Dr. Lothamer. Refused to refund the $800; had to use it as "credits" for teeth cleanings (I typically do not services beyond cleaning.) Guess that is one way to keep a client!

    I came to Dr. Lothamer after reading good reviews about his dental work. I moved and needed a new…read moredentist and I had a cleaning and needed two other visits for filling replacements (that I already knew about) and I have no complaints and he does do good dental work. My problem with the office and one star review is that I was NEVER told by the rude receptionist (his wife) that they are out of network for my insurance (United Healthcare) and I was going to see Dr. Lothamer specifically for filling replacements that would cost me a lot of money out of pocket if they are out of network and I got a $700 bill after the work was done. I would have looked elsewhere for an in network dentist if the receptionist was upfront about being out of network. Long story short, his wife submitted the claims to my insurance incorrectly so that the entire claim check would be sent to our home instead of their office and we would have to deposit a check and then go and pay the dentist the entire claim amount. (I have never experienced this type of claim payment). The check was lost in the mail and I had to spend a lot of time on the phone with the insurance to reissue the lost check. While communicating this to the receptionist that it will be about 30-60 days until the insurance mails a $2,500 check, she tells me that I better pay immediately or I will be sent to collections or small claims court. I do not have the funds to pay the total claim amount and it was 100% her fault for filing the claim incorrectly in the first place and my personal amount owed I was $700. I'm not one to complain or leave bad reviews but the receptionist was very defensive, rude, and screamed on the phone and then said "we will see you in small claims court" and hung up. I did read reviews of how awful the receptionist was but didn't think much of it because she isn't the dentist and only handles the scheduling and accounting. Please understand that I am an even keeled person and the receptionist is very defensive and blame shifts and appears to be very narcissistic about taking accountability for her mishandling of my claim and I will now be searching for an in network office. Dr. Lothamer is great but his wife (receptionist) is awful!

I was actually a patient here as a teen and returned 20 years later for Invisalign--and I'm so glad I did. From start to finish, the team was welcoming, professional, and wonderful to work with. My consultation was smooth, all of my options were clearly explained, and the payment options were flexible and stress-free. Throughout the entire process, the team took the time to explain each step in a way that was easy to understand and always made me feel comfortable and confident in my care. Dr. Ng is the man--always kind, patient, and thorough with explanations. 10 out of 10 service. You truly cannot go wrong with Hillside View Orthodontics. Highly, highly recommend.

Dr. Ikeda is so wonderful, professional, comforting, and personable. The assistants are all lovely, and some of them have been working there longer than I have been going. They have a rewards program that gives you points for every visit, and through that, I have gotten everything from gift cards to an electric toothbrush. I couldn't be happier with my results and with the care that I have received. I highly recommend giving Hillside at least a chance. If I could go back knowing everything that I do now, I would choose them every time.
