When our seven year-old daughter began to get her permanent teeth, we knew that she is going to need braces. Having had braces myself as a teenager, I know the process of going in every month and enduring the pain and not being able to eat for a week after the braces are tightened. We wanted to choose a good orthodontist because we want our daughter to go through this only once and with the best possible outcome. An experienced orthodontist who knows what he’s doing will make a huge impact on the outcome of our daughter’s teeth. Being in the dental field myself for over 13 years, I’ve seen many cases where patients had to repeat their orthodontia because they didn’t have it done correctly the first time. Having braces is not only about getting straight teeth, but proper alignment and occlusion are all very important. We chose Dr. Tan because he is not only very knowledgeable in these areas but conscientious as well. He ultimately strives to achieve what’s best for his patients. From our initial consultation, we were impressed. The staff at Dr. Tan’s greeted us warmly and were incredibly friendly. Alex, the treatment coordinator took our daughter in for x-rays, got down on her level and started chatting with her. During the examination, Dr. Tan explained everything clearly, how his approach would be in treating our daughter. He was very honest and stated that it would be a long process spread over time but with a successful outcome. He addressed our concerns and answered all of our questions. We felt comfortable with Dr. Tan’s recommendations and are excited to move forward with a second appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Tan and his staff for any orthodontic needs.

My wife and I have been visiting Dr. Tan since he first started his practice. Hes made night guards for us and athletic mouth guards for our daughter when she started contact sports in kindergarten. We had been able to evaluate his "bedside manner", his skills and the skills of his staff prior to the expected orthodontic work for our daughter. I was most impressed with the rapport with my daughter. He was able to gain her trust right from the beginning. His staff is also most friendly and capable. When my daughter got her first set of braces in 6th grade, she had no qualms and actually looked forward to it. She is now in 10th grade and getting her final set of braces in. The first set really helped in that the remainder of back permanent teeth are only slightly off so this final set will just do minor adjustment. Im glad that Dr. Tan recommened to do it in 2 stages to avoid the gross adjustment in high school. She never had to go through the "Jerry Lewis Nutty Professor" stage and finally get it corrected in her teens.

I first went to Dr. Tans office 11 years ago to get my bite fixed for purely functional reasons . Every time I had an appointment, it was like visiting old friends. Such a warm , friendly , professional environment. I was very happy with my smile after it was all done. 10 years later I am bringing my sons to Dr Tan. Much of the staff remains the same. The office is beautifully renovated and has a lot of eye appeal for adults, yet very kid friendly. The level of professionalism and perfection has made us happy that we chose to bring our sons here. They have been quite comfortable with the process and even enjoy coming to their appointments ! I would like to add that Dr. Tan and his staff are quite active in our community , giving much of their time and support to local schools and charities. That character trait always impresses me about local businesses. Go Tan Ortho !!!

We are very happy we chose Dr. Tan for Emilys orthodontist. After her first consultation, we jokingly called him the "Tooth Whisperer". He impressed us as an orthodontist who knew exactly what needed to be done, and we felt confident that he could do the job. Dr. Tan exceeded our expectations. He and his staff have created a great office environment, very positive and cheerful. They understand that this experience is a major transformational process for a teen. They are very supportive and thoughtful offering encouragement along the way. It was a pleasure working with them. Two years later, Emily has a beautiful smile and all of her orthodontic issues have been addressed...we couldnt ask for more. "Thank You" to Dr. Tan and all the great staff at Tan Orthodontics.

My family and I have been going to Dr. Tans office for many years. I have had numerous orthodontic procedures on my mouth and I currently have braces. The staff, along with Dr. Tan are friendly and willing to accommodate, meet and exceed their patients needs. The office is fun, upbeat, modern, clean and has the highest levels of technology. Dr. Tan is willing to do whatever is necessary to help you achieve the perfect smile. I would highly recommend the services of Dr. Tan and his competent team of trained professionals. Your smile of confidence is an outward expression of the inner self confidence you gain from knowing that you have perfect teeth you are proud of. Let Dr. Tan work his "magic" and help you achieve the results you have always wanted. SMILE on!

Had braces twice before. Once as a kid, and again as an adult, but I failed to wear my retainers and my teeth shifted. Researched several Orthodontic practices in the area and felt that Dr. Tan and his staff were the best fit for a third try! I was impressed with the end result AND Dr.Tan placed permanent retainers so that my teeth dont shift again! He listened to my concerns and what I was trying to achieve. I could tell that his practice is all about the patient - even has bottled water, cookies and a modern, comfortable office environment.

My daughter Jynelle Brillantes has had a positive experience here thanks to Dr. Tan and his staff. Dr. Tan keeps an open line of communication, always updating us on what work needs to be done. He gives a step by step process so that we are never surprised and always informed. Whenever we are in for an appointment the staff is friendly, courteous and cheerful. It is a family like atmosphere. We would absolutely recommend friends and family to Tan Orthodontics!

Our family has been with Dr. Tan for 13 years and we couldnt ask for a better provider. Three of my children have had jaw surgery and Dr. tan has made this experience for them awesome, he is very caring and involved with the surgeon. Their teeth look beautiful and the confidence they have because of this is outstanding. Thank you Dr. Tan for the wonderful job you have done.

Tan Ortho is exceptional! The office is clean and very well designed. The staff are friendly and make an effort to ensure patients are comfortable and welcome. Dr. Tan is very good at what he does. Having seen other orthodontic offices, I can say all orthodontists should aspire to this level of professionalism.
