So as you know, I like to write reviews so that other people, like myself who move to a new area, can really get a good idea of what doctors are around. As noted in my other reviews, I make sure that when I research doctors, dentists, etc, they have to meet a very high standard, especially the excellent care I got in New York.
With that in mind, I recently went to the dentist (another review coming soon) and had two cavities. Now in NY, I got braces and I had a permanent retainer behind my teeth once they were taken off. The cavities, unfortunately, were near the permanent retainer. Because of this, I had to have the permanent retainer removed. So how was I going to find a REALLY good orthodontist, who knew what they were doing, to do it the RIGHT way??
My dentist told me to try Perez Orthodontics. Of course, I was very skeptical, going back and forth with my Dentist and orthodontist in New York, I had to at least give it a shot and did some research on Barbara Perez. Even though there were no reviews, I had to try something or spend the money to fly to New York to get it done!
So in coordination with my dentist's office, which by the way, was SO convenient as they are only 10 Minutes apart, I set up an appointment to meet with Dr. Perez to have the retainer removed. I was greeted by some really friendly staff, everything was very clean and organized, and felt really comfortable. They have an open room concept, three chairs lined up but the atmosphere was great and fun! Dr. Perez greeted me right away and she was so nice! She explained everything in detail and really took the time to understand my concerns. I did not expect that at all and the staff was knowledgeable as well! This was definitely not your typical, "run of the mill" operation. Cordial, reasonably priced, and friendly. That's what I liked, especially NO PAIN!! BONUS!!
So I had my retainer removed, then the next day the dentist filled the two teeth. An hour later, I was in Perez's chair getting the brand new retainer on! WOW!!!
So overall, great experience, friendly staff, caring and NO PAIN!! Funny thing is that both my dentist and Dr. Perez could have been sisters! They look very much alike and have the same bubbly, caring attitude that I have really grown to love about them. Feels like I have known them for a long time and so looking forward to going back! (Even though I don't have to right now).
I definitely recommend Dr. Perez in orthodontics as you would not be disappointed! Now... I have to get Dr. Perez and my dentist together for lunch! ROFL read more
