I promised myself I wouldn't post a review until my treatment was concluded, though multiple times…read morethroughout the last year I felt this office was deserving of praise, but I held true to my vow and - am now out of braces and can give Orthodontics of Burien the feedback they're more-than deserving of. Let me quickly preface this review with: I couldn't be happier with my result. My smile is BEAUTIFUL! Being an adult with ridiculously high expectations, I was very thorough in my research and wanted to find the appropriate orthodontist when I finally decided that I was serious about getting braces. I had some experience in this, because this wasn't my first time in braces; I had them when I was a teenager, but didn't listen to anybody back then, and I refused to wear my retainers (& subsequently lost them). Over the next twenty years my teeth shifted and I was left with a narrow bite, crowded teeth, a few teeth that stuck out, a crossbite, and a smile that kept me from feeling attractive or confident. What a waste of teenage ridicule and miserable nights without sleep because of frumpy headgear (not to mention the expense, thanks Mom & Dad for footing the bill back then!). I tossed around the idea of "adult braces" for half a decade. Had I known now what I knew then, I wouldn't have wasted those precious years (word to the wise: if you're contemplating treatment, do yourself a favor and stop delaying - get started TODAY; the only regret you'll have is not starting sooner! As I tell my friends today: if you listened to me a few months ago, you could be halfway through treatment already!!). This office is exactly what I was looking for. The first contact you'll have is with Erin, who oversees the office and ensures it runs smoothly/efficiently. The combination of Erin and Dr. Peralta were what made my decision an easy one - - it's rare to find an office where you not only respect the doctor (Dr. Peralta, the orthodontist), but also the one who runs the show (Erin). Erin spent a ridiculous amount of time answering my questions and making me feel comfortable. This office is very thorough in explaining EVERYthing and made me feel at ease, without feeling pressured into a decision whatsoever. My concerns were: 1) duration of treatment (how long would I be a brace-face), 2) effectiveness of treatment (was my narrow/rickety smile fixable??), 3) long-term expectations/result, 4) cost of treatment, 5) pain associated with treatment, 6) every other concern you hadn't even considered being a concern (did I mention my ridiculous expectations? I wasn't kidding). Dr. Peralta studied my smile and then laid out a treatment plan which was aggressive (like me) and would have me out of braces by my 36th birthday (a mere 13 months from the day I started treatment. A year and a month is all????? Um .... SOLD!) From there I viewed an entire catalogue of Dr. Peralta's prior cases (literally hundreds of smiles that he single-handedly made perfectly straight) which built my confidence in this Columbia Graduate's abilities. Erin then presented a financial plan that worked with my budget and allowed for treatment to become a reality. Communication is key - and Orthodontics of Burien clearly communicates every step of the way. I live/work in Seattle and was amazed at how easy the commute to/from Burien for my monthly appointments was. In fact, I actually looked forward to going in for my check-ups/adjustments because of the friendly staff. Who knew ortho could be enjoyable?! The office is clean, bright, modern, spacious, and comfortable, not to mention their great taste in music which helps to further ease any stress associated with dental work. What an incredible experience the last 13 months were. I'm now 36, brace-free and I have a smile that I'm PROUD to show. I feel more confident, I feel more attractive, and my tongue actually fits in my mouth now! Getting braces was one of the best decisions I've ever made. THANK YOU, Dr. Peralta, Erin, and the fabulous staff at Orthodontics of Burien!!!!

Thank you for the amazing experience and TLC you gave my sister and I during this journey. I have been referring my friends and their kids to your office and will continue to do so. You guys are the best. It was challenging making the trek to the West Seattle location with the bridge closure which is funny now that I think of it... the month I got my braces off... they open the bridge!!! P.S. I've also been referring strangers I meet who I think need braces. So far no fights but much appreciation when I make that referral

Let me preface this review by saying it is on behalf of my husband who was very distressed by the…read moretreatment he received from front office and manager at Advanced Orthodontics Burien. On his behalf, I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the customer service he received during his recent visit to your office. He had written a check for $2,300 toward his treatment (which would entail multiple visits), only to be informed afterward that the exact amount due was $2,303.75. While he acknowledge the discrepancy (less than $4), he was disappointed in how your team handled the situation. When he offered to pay the $3.75 difference at his next visit, this reasonable request was denied. He then made an effort to visit an ATM to obtain cash, and offered a $20 bill -- yet was told your office could not provide change. He even suggested applying the remaining $16.25 as a credit toward his account, which was also refused. Rather than working with him in good faith to resolve a minor payment difference, he was told that he was "not a good fit as a patient" -- a statement I found dismissive, unprofessional, and unnecessarily harsh, especially considering he had already presented a check of nearly the full amount and made efforts to resolve the remaining balance. I expected that he be treated with basic respect and flexibility, particularly as someone who was cooperative and willing to make payment. This experience has left me questioning your office's commitment to patient care and professionalism. I hope Advanced Orthodontics Burien takes this feedback seriously and consider adopting more reasonable, patient-friendly practices in the future. I for one am soured by my husband's experience and have shared with my friends and fellow healthcare colleagues about the poor treatment he received and being dismissed as being "not a good fit".

One of the first things I noticed is how efficiently they run--they always start right on time, which is so rare and highly appreciated. The doctors are true perfectionists who settle for nothing less than flawless work. They took the time to ensure the results were exactly what I wanted, and the pricing was very reasonable for the exceptional quality of care provided. On top of that, the logistics are seamless; parking is completely covered and handled, taking all the stress out of the visit. As a fun bonus, the clinic is located in a beautiful building with a fantastic French bakery just upstairs. The efficiency of their process is unmatched. The turnaround time from my very first appointment to getting my final porcelain veneers took just a few weeks. If you are looking for top-tier cosmetic dental work, I cannot recommend them enough!

I can definitely understand why he was highly recommended by my dentist. Appointments were easy to make and the office was really helpful about answering any questions I had. The facilities were always comfortable and super clean. As an adult going through the process, I appreciated the design and feel of both offices. There's great art up and good tunes at both locations. I mention this because I attended a couple ortho consults where the offices made me feel like I was older than their average client. They managed to make both their offices feel both family friendly and yet approachable for people in their 30s like me. Other than the results, the best part about my experience is that I always felt that the whole team at Peralta Ortho really cares about what they do.

My child went to Peralta for 2 years starting when they were 12, within 6 months they had several cavities & after a year & 1/2 (& 4 fillings) requested removal because our kid couldn't/ wouldn't properly brush with their braces on. Peralta resisted & refused to remove them for 6 more months. Now they need 15 more fillings. When I reached out to Peralta to see if he had anything to say in regards to the fact that his "services" have left my child's teeth in worse shape than before, he refused to accept any responsibility for his part in this failure. Our kid was too immature to care for their teeth with braces & as a professional Peralta should have counsel us to wait. His only response was that our child's oral hygiene was fair & therefore he did nothing wrong. Learn from our family's costly mistake- DO NOT GET YOUR CHILD BRACES unless their oral hygiene is perfect and DO NOT GO TO PERALTA.

Every staff member here has been friendly. I had some insurance questions and they were quick to help me resolve it. Now we are changing insurance, and again they have been great about letting me continue my payments, but not worry about insurance until we file with the new one. So far, the treatment is going well. My son doesn't complain about going. He likes picking out his colored bands. His teeth are moving in a better direction. My daughter has been here for a consult as well. She is in a waiting period. What I appreciated most about her situation is they didn't want to start anything too early. They are letting some teeth come in first. And who knows if she will need anything next year, but I appreciate they aren't pushing her to start treatment now. I can't say that about other places locally. I would recommend this office for orthodontic work. We have been very pleased so far in all areas.

No thanks! We wanted a more personal experience and got that with Dr. Choi. She is knowledgeable, gentle, and patient. She wants the best results but knows the patient must be onboard to achieve that. She talks directly to the patient and lets them know her expectations of their responsibility in having braces.
