I just had the worst experience with Linda, a receptionist. I have been going to Dr. Cat since 2016. I paid in full and my treatment should have been over awhile ago. I have not complained since none of my visits were getting charged. My braces were taken off in 2017 and I was supposed to have a permanent retainer on my bottom teeth put in at no charge. This still has not happened. Both my top and bottom retainers come loose very often and now I am expected to pay $75 dollars just to come in. I asked to please have Dr. Cat call me so we could work something out but I was told that Dr. Cat is in

Great doctors and staff. They have a comfortable and conveniently located office. After 16 months of braces, earlier this month I was able to have double jaw surgery at another office. Dr. Papademetriou professionally worked with my oral surgeon on the best treatment plan possible for me. My smile and bite are going to be perfect. I will be highly recommending Desert Ridge Orthodontics to family and friends.

Absolutely the best orthodontist in the valley! I have had three of my children here and the Doctors and Staff are Incredibly knowledgeable and really helpful in understanding the process of what they have to do to correct the teeth and keep them straight! I would definitely recommend Dr. Papa and Dr. Smith. Great team and even better results.
