My case was incredibly difficult. I had a very bad bite, and some doctors even told me I would need jaw surgery to correct it! I am so incredibly glad that I chose Dr. Yang instead. I was in braces for just over three years, and the entire experience was fantastic. Dr. Yang is a true master at what he does and managed to fix my teeth and bite perfectly without any need for surgery. On top of his incredible skill, the service is unmatched. Absolutely everyone in the office is welcoming, professional, and simply excellent at what they do. I couldn't be happier with my new smile.

As a single woman working a full-time job I had a pretty busy schedule when I decided to get some…read moreorthodontic work to fix some shifting teeth on my lower jaw. Dr Andrews is kind, thorough, detail-oriented, and efficient. Her team is friendly and welcoming, and always greeted me by name, even when I couldn't remember theirs. On my first visit, Dr Andrews listened and looked at my trouble spots and then recommended two plans to me, which differed in cost and speed. Lauren then sat down with me and went over all the numbers and answered all my questions, allowing me as much time as I needed to make a decision. On my second visit, the impressions for the Invisalign were done and this is the part I've always hated - having gone through braces/retainers twice as a child. But Eli was gentle and fast, and very apologetic when the first mold didn't turn out quite right and we had to do the darn thing again. Each following appointment was on time with Dr Andrews and fast, she had great tech to show me where my teeth should be in my treatment plan and made tweaks to make sure I stayed on track. The lack of weekend office hours weren't an issue as the team kept my check-ups to 15 mins long at 8:30am (so I could get to work on time). Dr Andrews even saw me just weeks after she gave birth, that is how dedicated she is to her practice! I'm extremely satisfied with the work and would recommend Dr Andrews for her experience, professionalism, and wonderful work.

My son didn't like the other orthodontist we met with before Dr. Kurth and knew he wanted Dr. Kurth based on his experience in her office and based on the fact that almost everyone from his school sees Dr. Kurth. When my son had a braces wire pop out, Dr. Kurth was responsive and able to get us in the next day to fix it. Her Belmont office is closer to us, but we sometimes go to the Foster City location. The Foster City office is nicer, in my opinion. The Foster City location seems like it runs more on schedule than the busier Belmont office, but either place does the trick. I highly recommend Dr. Kurth!

When it was time for my child to start the braces journey, I did a lot of research and met with…read moreseveral orthodontists. It was very important for me to find an orthodontist that my child would feel comfortable, safe and at ease with because she is very anxious when it comes to dental work. Since we would be spending at least 2 years with an orthodontist, finding one my child trusted was a top priority. When we met with Dr. Kurth, I explained that my child is very anxious and it is important for her to know what exactly is happening and why. Not only did Dr. Kurth soothe my child's fears but she also made sure that her staff followed suit. When we met for our consultation (which is free) she explained the whole procedure to her. What she would need, for how long and most importantly, why. She wasn't just talking to me, she was talking to both of us. Acknowledging the fact that my child is a person, the person that would be experiencing the treatment and that her questions and fears were valid. While I had my own expectations of what the braces journey would be for us...lots of anxiety, tears, and frustrations...I am happy that it has been none of that. I truly believe that this pleasant journey is because of the calm demeanor Dr. Kurth has when she speaks with children and actually hears how they are feeling. She never dismisses my child feelings and always finds a way to ensure her comfort and she never rushes during our appointment. When it was time to make the mold of her teeth, my child was afraid of gagging and throwing up. Dr. Kurth and her staff took the time to listen to her and worked with her to get it done. I was shocked! I was expecting a day full of panic and several tries. But because Dr. Kurth had listened to us (some Drs only pretend too) she knew exactly how to calm her to get it done without any discomfort. That's when I knew we had made the right choice. I love the fact that I can also email Dr. Kurth with any concerns or questions I may have and she responds back! I couldn't believe it because some dentists/doctors won't communicate through email. When my child was having trouble with her expander, I emailed her and she responded that evening with some suggestions to help her get used to it. If you are in the process of starting orthodontic work and whether or not you may have an anxious child, I highly recommend Dr. Kurth and her staff. They have two offices, one in Foster City and one in Belmont. Her entire staff from the front office, dental assistants and office manager are amazing. I couldn't be happier with the choice I made in selecting her. http://jacklynkurthorthodontics.com/

I had been referred to him by an awesome dentist which doesn't work as Orthodontist but this office burns bridges, I wish I hadn't gone to Rim Orthodontics!

I set up a consultation with Dr. Tom and right away I was struck by his sincerity and honesty. He assured me that my dentist was exaggerating and that my teeth would be totally fine without getting treatment. I ended up crying in his office, I was so upset. Dr. Tom took the time to explain all my options and the timeline of my treatment. I ended up going "old school" with wired braces and rubber bands. As a result, my teeth are perfect and I have never been more confident about my teeth. His office staff went above and beyond to accommodate my needs as a busy teacher.
