| - As a middle-age woman who had already spent her early teens in braces, (with the lovely night headgear), the idea of wearing them again was none to appealing. However, with my lower teeth showing signs of shifting, I wanted to arrest the digression, get them straight again, and then maintain with retainers. A friend of mine had suggested Dr. Galati but I wanted to speak with my dentist, Dr. Clark, to get his input. He also suggested Dr. Galati for orthodontic needs, and shared that they work together often, allowing patients to schedule with them on the same days, making appointments, hygiene care and progress very efficient. Dr. Galati and his team were very welcoming and informative when I went for the consultation. Dr. Galati assessed my situation and clearly mapped out the options. His involvement in professional organizations and continuing education put me at ease knowing he continues to stay at the forefront of orthodontics. His team was also very detailed; advising what my insurance would cover, what my responsibility would be, and the payment plans they offered. They also explained how they handled scheduling and how long the appointments would be. There wasn't a detail missed! Dr. Galati runs on time, and I was never delayed once in the eight months I wore my braces. (Not many doctors offices can claim that!) The staff there is warm, friendly, and very genuine in their concern and interest. You never feel like a number there. The office is clean, organized and there is always an aura of calm. I was convinced it would be me and 100 teenagers but there truly is a great mix of people, which provided me with comfort knowing Dr. Galati can straighten one's teeth whether they are 10 or 50 years of age! As promised, my braces came off 8 months later and I am THRILLED with how straight they are. There was no staining either and the retainers were made within 72 hours. Dr. Galati and his team are superb and I am so happy that I made the decision to do this with the Galati team!
