    Dr Wu is the best Orthodontist here in Elk Grove…read more I have had 3 kids get braces here. And they do not dread going there. As an adult Dr Wu has helped me as well. Coordinating with my oral surgeon and helping me with a favorable outcome.

    I was referred to Dr. Wu by my son's pediatric dentist. After reading all the positive reviews, I…read moredecided to bring my son here. We've been patients for a little over a year now, and unfortunately we've had to come in multiple times for "emergency" visits because bracket fell off, wires came loose, or wires were poking my son. Most recently, my son's wire came off on a Friday night. Since we already had an appointment scheduled for Tuesday, I just had him use wax until then. At that Tuesday appointment, the dental assistance informed us that the wires were cut too short, which is why the wire came off the bracket. However, later that SAME day, my son told me the wire came off again. I called the next morning and thankfully they were able to get us in right away. As the assistant explained the situation to Dr. Wu, his immediate reaction was to blame my 9-year-old. He asked if my son had been pulling on the wire or ate something hard because, according to him, "there's no way" the wire would come off on its own without excessive force. I was honestly shocked and upset that his first instinct was to blame a child instead of considering that maybe the work done the day before was not done properly. Not to mention the day before his dental assistant said that the wire came out due to it being cut too short. So which is it?? The wire can come off when it's cut too short or it requires excessive force for the wire to come off?? I reminded Dr. Wu that we had just been there the day before for the exact same issue. I asked why his first reaction was to blame my son instead of questioning whether his staff may have made a mistake. He immediately became defensive and said his office sees "many, many patients" and they never have issues. I explained that this was not the first time we've had problems with my son's braces and that we've already had to come back several times due to brackets or wires coming loose. What bothered me most was that even after I questioned him, he still blamed my son again and confidently said yes when I asked, "So you're blaming my son for this?" It wasn't until I continued questioning him and pointing out the repeated issues that he gave what felt like a very half-hearted apology. He said he would "look into his protocols" and that he's not "above admitting" when his staff makes mistakes. Dr. Wu ended up fixing my son's braces himself that day, and I immediately noticed he spent much more time and care working on them than the assistant did the previous day. At the end of the visit, I asked if moving forward Dr. Wu could personally work on my son instead of the assistants. His response was simply, "It doesn't work that way." No explanation, no reassurance, nothing. Overall, I found Dr. Wu to be rude, dismissive, condescending, and unprofessional in the way he handled this situation. As a parent, it was upsetting to see a grown professional immediately blame a child instead of taking accountability or at least approaching the situation with more care and professionalism. My son may need braces again in high school once all his adult teeth come in, but we will not be returning here.

    I had such a great experience with Oshetski Orthodontics! I had a negative experience with an…read moreorthodontist in the past, so I put off getting orthodontic work done for a while. My experience here was completely different. Everyone, from Marcelline at the front desk to Dr. Oshetski and the entire orthodontic team, was so kind, welcoming, and helpful. I did Invisalign for about a year and a half and am so happy with my results! I always felt like my concerns and priorities were heard, and that the quality of my treatment was truly important to the team. I highly recommend Oshetski Orthodontics!

    My daughter received her retainer today! We are extremely pleased with the results; the before and…read moreafter are definitely noteworthy. I must say that we had an exceptional experience from day 1. The staff are always pleasant, from when you walk through the door (we adore Ms. Marceline), to the wave good-bye. Dr. Oshetski, has a great disposition, consistently in a great mood and he shows so much respect for his team. I felt that the process was transparent from the very beginning and the ultimate decision regarding the plan was left up to us, I appreciate this approach and it's evident that he really values his work. Finally, he also provided a second opinion for my other daughter and the way he spoke about the prior orthodontist was very respectful and professional...that speaks a lot to one's character. Would definitely recommend! And the music is always

From the calling about the consultation to my most recent appointment, Dr Hu and his entire staff have been very helpful, informative and professional. They helped me figure out how my insurance benefits work and what type of orthodontia worked the best for me. During the pandemic I found myself running out of bands and they were able to send me some through the mail. The whole experience has been the best I could hope for. I even have my daughter coming to see Dr Hu. She's been in braces for about 5 years now. After we moved from the East Coast, I went with another orthodontist first and regretted it right away. After only one visit, Dr Hu has been able to help her out (she has a very difficult problem) and we've gotten more from her visits with Dr Hu than we did with any previous orthodontist. I have also taken my 10 year old to see Dr Hu for a consultation. Since we are in the pre-orthodontia stage, this was merely for getting a game plan together since we know my son is going to need them. Dr Hu explained our options and we went with the more gentler route for now. I would highly recommend New Smile Orthodontics to anyone needing braces. They are easy to schedule with, very helpful, and willing to explain any limitations that they see may be a problem.

After getting stitched up, our amazing dental office contacted their neighbor in the building, Laguna Orthodontics, to see if they could help by resetting and repositioning my Mom's top 6 teeth. They made every effort to squeeze my Mom in, reassure her, X-Ray her, put braces on her, reassure her again, and promised her that her teeth would be more beautiful than they did before the fall! :) They were all so patient, calm, funny, and caring. They stayed after hours until everything was completed (my Mom had to go back and forth between the dentist and orthodontist offices). I am so thankful for Dr. Adams and his staff. They helped to make an already stressful situation less scary. Jean DeLuca (daughter of the patient, Lynda Middleton)
