    Dr. Cruz in his giraffe for the 2022 Halloween!
    Lourdes L.

    Dr. Cruz and his staff are hands down the best. The office experience is welcoming and fun. I enjoyed my visit last Halloween everyone was dressed up! I love how I feel special every time I come in, but I'm sure all his patients feel the same. Another great feeling is how Dr. Cruz always remembers our conversation from my previous visit. Overall the quality of care and office experience are great. I would recommend Dr. Cruz to anyone!!

    Chilling

    Their is no greater feeling than a kid smiling from ear to ear because they won't have to hide their smile ever. As a parent it's the best. Dr. Cruz and his team have been professional and very friendly. Look around no more, this place is the best. From beginning to the very end.

    Before and after!

    I chose Elite Orthodontics because of the amazing reviews that I read prior to getting braces. I…read morewanted to choose the best of the best because not only did I need braces but I had an underbite that I wanted to treat as well. Elite kept me well informed and even recommended me an amazing oral surgeon when I was having trouble finding one that worked with my insurance. The office is clean and has a section for all your braces needs like wax, floss, toothbrushes, etc. there are also three sinks where you can brush and floss before getting your braces tightened. Every visit felt efficient and fast. The techs who tightened my braces were always professional and gentle. Special shoutout to Ashley who always was so friendly anytime she tightened my braces. I saw both Dr Ehsani and Dr Sabet and they were both phenomenal throughout my treatment before and after surgery. The front desk was always responsive and answered all my silly questions via text message. I can't stress how friendly everyone is in the office!! I highly recommend Elite Orthodontics to anyone who mentions getting braces and I would choose them again and again if I ever had to get braces in the future (I hope I don't have to but you get it)

    I've been with Elite Orthodontics for about two years for my braces treatment, and overall I had a…read morereally great experience. From the beginning, the staff was always friendly and professional. They explained the treatment plan clearly and made sure I knew what to expect at each stage. Throughout the whole process, appointments were well organized and I never felt rushed. The doctor was patient and detail-oriented, which made me feel comfortable and confident in the treatment. Anytime I had questions or concerns, they were addressed quickly. Now that I'm done with my braces, I'm really happy with the results. My teeth look so much better and the whole process was smoother than I expected. I would definitely recommend Elite Orthodontics to anyone considering braces.

Dr. Poggio and everyone here has taken their time to make sure I feel the most comfortable and understand the process of having trays on. From financing to the actual putting on of the invisalign trays, the process has been amazing. The staff are incredible and they make you feel like you're a friend in the neighborhood. I love it here and my husband also has come here before as well and has had nothing but amazing things to say. I'm always so excited to come in and see everyone; not only for my teeth, but just to catch up and say hi! I'm proud to have them as my ortho team and excited for the future. Please dont hesitate in giving them a chance. They are more than worth it and will make you feel awesome from start to finish!! See yall soon!

Meeting with Dr. Poggio and her staff completely won me over without a doubt. They were exceptional. They explained the whole process, used state of the art equipment and were beyond friendly. I noticed a difference within a week of using invisalign. I'm extremely happy I chose Dr. Poggio and her wonderful team. I've been to their office a few times and I'm always greeted with a big smile. I'm looking forward to my next appointment.

My kids actually enjoy coming here, which says a lot! The staff is incredibly patient and accommodating, especially with little ones like my youngest who aren't the biggest fans of cleanings. They take their time, communicate clearly, and create an environment that feels safe and supportive. Everything runs so smoothly--it's truly a well-oiled machine. Even the team members behind the scenes who handle texts, scheduling, and rescheduling are responsive and kind, which I really appreciate as a busy mom. I honestly wish I could come here as an adult! More than anything, I love that they're not just providing a service--they're helping teach my kids lifelong habits around dental hygiene in such a positive way.

However the three stars knocked off because the front desk is extremely rude. Right when you walk in, they ignore you and point to a kiosk to check in and don't make eye contact like they are avoiding you on purpose. Mind you I've only been here twice. And each visit was the same. They also NEVER answer their phone calls even if you leave a voice mail. Their main form of communication is text message. They reschedule through text and answer any questions through text. Also last time I checked out, one of the ladies at the front desk (couldn't catch her name) was talking to her coworker in front of me for like a good 3 minutes and it was completely unrelated to my visit. I felt like I was a burden burdening their conversation, and she asked me with the most annoyed tone if I was free a month out after they were done. Not "hi, I can help you right here" or "did you get everything you needed today?" Like I'm burdening you with your 3 minutes of conversation? The picture even says please DO NOT CALL. please tell me this a joke? What's the point of having a receptionist if I'm burdening them and they don't want to speak to customers? Text is NOT a professional form of communication.
