We absolutely love going to Embrace!! I was a bit nervous about my daughter getting braces but they made the process very easy and simple. Her very first visit was so welcoming and Dr. K and her staff are amazing, very knowledgeable and super fun. We highly recommend for your orthodontics needs!
Our visits are always exceptional at Embrace. All of the staff are kind, comforting, and knowledgeable. The definitely make the orthodontics process less scary for our 8 year old.
Love Embrace Dr K and staff. I have taken multiple children to her over the last 10 years! Currently taking my grandson. There is such a welcoming and warm atmosphere that has stayed unchanged over the years. They always are genuinely excited to see us and remember my other children and ask about them too. They celebrate the milestones in their treatment journeys, which makes the kids feel special. They have so many incentives for the kids to maintain their oral health. They have been so flexible and accommodating with appointment schedules. My kids have always loved going to their appointments. You will not be disappointed !
The staff at Embrace Orthodontist are extremely kind. From the very beginning, my son felt he was being well cared for, and at every appointment we’ve had very gentle and patient-focused staff. Thank you, Embrace Orthodontist.
The experience here has been well planned out. All appts booked upfront with a plan and when we get in there has never been a wait for our appt. Their points card helps the kids stay excited for the appt.
So far so good! Came in for a consultation, was provided with detailed explanation of what is going, plan going forward and what to expect with the process. Staff is very friendly and it’s a very comfortable atmosphere for kids. They were able to start services same day.
We’ve had a wonderful experience so far. My 8-year-old recently got her palate expander, and the team has made sure she feels comfortable every step of the way. The staff is friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable, and they do an excellent job working with children. The welcoming environment and thoughtful touches really stand out. So far, everything has been a great experience, and they do an amazing job explaining everything clearly.
We took our 9-year-old for his initial orthodontic consultation, and the entire experience was wonderful. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They even had a personalized welcome sign just for him, which immediately made him feel special. The lobby was spotless and fun, and the arcade machine with classics like Pac-Man and Galaga helped him relax right away. Every staff member we met had a genuine smile and seemed truly happy to be there. They did a great job including our son in the conversation. They did not just talk to us as parents. They made sure to ask him how he felt about the recommended treatments and explained everything in a way he could understand. The doctor was thorough, patient, and very clear when walking us through each treatment option and the reasons behind them. We never felt rushed, and our son left feeling confident and comfortable. Another thing we loved was their rewards program for kids. They can earn points for good grades, brushing their teeth, and even wearing the T-shirt the office gave him to his appointments. It adds a fun and motivating element that turns something that could feel scary into something exciting. Overall, this office creates a clean, friendly, and truly kid-centered environment. They made the entire experience fun rather than intimidating, and we are very glad we chose them.
What can be a scary ordeal for an 8 year old has turned into an enjoyable one! From the time Oliver walked in the front door, he has been put at ease. The front office staff as well as all the providers are very patient, kind and friendly. All of our questions are answered. Everything is explained so that we all understand what is happening. Even this grandma has no complaints!! Thank you Dr K and staff !! Sharon C
Embrace Orthodontics is the best decision I could’ve made for my family. From the second you walk in, you fell like family. Tally is the sweetest and so welcoming, and Dr. K is amazing.
