I first got my braces in 1980, and I loved my new smile so much that I came to work with Dr. Lastra in 1981. Over the years, I have met many wonderful patients, and now we are seeing the children of some of those patients. It has been so much fun to be in one place for so long and see the changes in the lives of these people and their families.
Our office is designed to make orthodontic care a positive experience. Our goal is to provide you with the highest quality care available. We designed our office with state-of-the-art equipment including computer video imaging, in order to provide you with the most recent advances in orthodontic treatment.
Your first visit is perhaps the most important appointment you will have with us. It marks your first step on your journey towards a happier and healthier you and gives you the chance to discover if our practice is the right choice for you. So, what can you expect from this visit? When you enter our practice, you will be greeted by the staff at the front desk.
There are many different types of orthodontic problems that can lead to people seeking treatment. Any issue that impacts the look or function of the teeth is a reason for treatment. Where the lower jaw extends to the point that the lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth. Where the teeth are too close together, making them difficult to clean or making it impossible for teeth to emerge correctly.
Many people in need of orthodontic care skip treatment because they are worried about the cost. However, our team doesn't want anyone to forgo the treatment they need due to budget concerns. That is why we work hard to make treatment affordable. During your initial appointment, we will check your insurance coverage and make certain to maximize any benefits you have.

I arrived at 8:30 a.m. for my 8:45 appointment. I was the first patient to arrive. Three other patients were seen before me (they were existing and I was a consult). At 9:10 I walked to the front desk and asked if I would be seen. A few minutes later I was escorted back to an exam room and asked to fill out paper work. I asked the hygienist how long would the appointment take. She ignored my question and asked me to fill out the paper work. The doctor walks in and informs me that I left a section black and then leaves. The hygienist returns and I ask again when will I be seen. The doctor and hygienist

Absolute disaster. Dr Lastra neglected to treat properly treat my child and has the expectation that a 9yr old should be scheduling their own follow-up appointments as the parents aren’t allowed in the building. Takes no responsibility for anything and is incredibly rude. Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY.

I generally don't take the time on reviews, unless it entails very negative reception from the vendor. But in this instant I must say the positiveness was so amazing I had to stop and let everyone know. What a great office, what great personnel and what a great doctor. I was so very pleased to have been referred to Dr. Lastra and introduced to her wonderful staff. They were friendly, professional and extremely helpful. I'm looking forward to receiving treatment by Dr. Lastra and I know that her staff will make this process as pleasant and welcoming as possible. Thank you all.

Dr. Lastra provided my son superb care over many years at a very affordable price. My kid had all kinds of jaw growth issues, baby teeth - big teeth issues. You name it and he had it. She was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure the treatment plan was clear and our expectations met. Despite multiple instances of broken braces, (enough to try a saint's patience), she delivered timely care, and in one case, after my son fell into a rock on his face, landing on his teeth, she invited him in for treatment at her office late on a Sunday night on her way home after having driven in

Dr. Idalia is a nice doctor, she explains quite thoroughly. And the doctor who changed the wires did a good job. However, the time spent in the office is just too long, more than an hour per visit! Mostly spent on waiting. (Update: better service now, much faster than how it was. The front desk are now nice receptionists)
