I found this place on Google and scheduled an appointment, they were very flexible with my schedule, providing great service and a very memorable experience. This was my first time with them but I will definitly be coming back if I have any orthodontics-related issues in the future. Dr. Lotzof was very friendly and had a cool accent that contributed positively to the overall experience. 10/10 experience.

Nice & modern office, great staff members. I highly recommend Dr.Lawrence due to several reasons :
1- from day one he answered all questions and give all the time needed to explain and clarify the problem that i’ve had with my teeth and the plan to fix it.
2- i had a cross-bite and some jaw problems because of my genes, some places might recommend a surgery for such situation, however, Dr.Lawrence was confident enough to treat me without surgery.
3- Timing : although its always an estimate, but we had a 2 year plan and didn't exceed it much ( 25 months).
The result was better than expected

In my mid-teens, I had a consultation with an orthodontist who acted really upset that I had not had braces yet! In my mid-20s, I had a consultation with a 2nd orthodontist who said I needed jaw surgery in addition to braces. In my early 30s, I was lucky to meet Dr. Lotzof, who calmly and confidently delivered amazing results with a smile.

The best! I have 2 boys in appliances now. He did amazing work in a severe issue for my oldest son who had major hesitations about dental work and a bad gag reflex. He has highly competent and friendly staff and Dr L is both an obvious expert in his field and also just a really nice guy!
Definitely get your Ortho work done here!!

Dr. Lotzof and his team are fantastic. My dentist recommended I see Dr. Lotzof because I needed adult orthodontics; my nighttime habit of grinding my molars over the years had caused my upper and lower teeth to meet unevenly, which could result in functional problems later.
Both Dr. Lotzof and his staff went above and beyond to take care of my needs. When one of my brackets came loose on a weekend, Dr. Lotzof opened the office (on his day off) and took care of it. When I was having a hard time getting to the office to pick up a retainer; Michelle mailed it to me. I also wanted to have a teeth

Dr. Lotzof is amazing. Just got my braces off at age 50. After suffering from TMJ and an underbite my case was not an easy one. Before I came in my jaw was flared up in pain, popping and miserable. I consulted with a TMF specialist and consulted with two other orthodontists but was lucky to be referred to Dr. Lotzof. I made the right choice trusting him and so happy my jaw is no longer in pain and I have an incredible smile. Without a doubt I would recommend him to anyone needing braces. Thank you Dr. L!

I took my 9 year old daughter to see dr Lotzof she was very relaxed he talked and explained everything to her, he also emailed me pictures and xrays to pass onto my retired dentist father to look over and was happy to answer any questions any of my family members had! The plan for my daughter was explained in great detail, I was very happy with the experience I had here and would thoroughly recommend dr Lotzof

I brought my three boys in for their first Orthodontist consultation. I was extremely impressed with Dr. Lotzof. It was obvious that he has a wealth of knowledge of what he does and clearly articulated the information to me. The most impressive thing was how he interacted with my boys as patients. He respectively asked them questions and listened to their concerns and thoughts. He said to me these are little adults and need to be heard. I loved that he felt that way. Additionally the doctor's staff was exceptional.

As an adult, I was a little nervous about braces. Before braces, I never once smiled, showing my teeth. Dr. Lotzof and the rest of the staff put me at ease and helped me to make one of the best decisions of my life!! I got my braces off yesterday (12/6/16) and am so proud to be able to smile without feeling self conscious. I am proud of my smile thanks to Dr. Lotzof!!!
