Briana Garcia R.

Leland Orthodontics provides outstanding care and a welcoming environment from the very first visit. Karina at the front desk is consistently friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to answer questions, coordinate appointments, and ensure everything runs smoothly. Karissa, the treatment coordinator, is equally impressive, she takes the time to explain each step clearly, present options thoughtfully, and make the entire process as stress-free as possible.

The level of professionalism and dedication at this clinic is evident, and it is clear that patient care is their top priority. I am very pleased with my decision to choose Leland Orthodontics and would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking orthodontic treatment.

Stacey T.

Everyone at Lelend Orthodontics was amazing! From the start having Karissa explain everything in detail where we understood it all was great. Then being able to get them on the day we were there was very convenient. I didn’t have to take additional time and have him leave school again. The price was also cheaper than a previous quote from a different orthodontist. I would highly recommend them to everyone needing braces.

Catherine N.

Leland is the best! They make every appointment fun and efficient. My son’s teeth already look and feel better!

Faith S.

I always feel welcomed here and you can tell everyone there pride themselves in the work that do. I also wouldn’t be able to afford the smile I’ve always wanted if it wasn’t for their payment plan. It genuinely has changed my life and confidence in a way I didn’t think would ever be possible. Can not recommend them enough! If you’ve been thinking about getting braces definitely go in for a consultation. I promise you won’t regret it!
