PATIENT REVIEWS

Sonoran Smiles Orthodontics is AMAZING! Four family members had brilliant success under Dr. Samantha Vu’s care, including correcting the work of two previous orthodontists who had poor outcomes. Her prices were quite reasonable and she went above and beyond to make sure of a great outcome – a beautiful smile and a healthy bite. She was diligent in making sure the bite was perfect so that in the future there would not be any problems with undue wear on the teeth or discomfort in the jaws. You are in good hands with Sonoran Smiles!

IF YOU NEED BRACES OR ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR: stop and look no further, because this place is FANTASTIC. I love this place. I had gotten braces once before at Western dental. My wonderful experience with sonoran smile vs Western dental is on par with comparing a wormy apple to an entire glorious orchard. In case I wasn’t clear enough, sonoran is the orchard lol If you choose sonoran for yourself or your child, you will not be sorry. Okay, so why? *They go out of their way to make new patients feel special. *They are flexible and work with you, your finances, and your insurance in a manner that has blown away any prior medical experience. *If you don’t have insurance, they will work with you! They also have an agreement with a dentist that treats patients who dont have insurance. This dentist gives PHENOMENAL rates to sonoran smile patients. *They offer Saturday appointments. *The offices are clean, beautiful, and welcoming without the sterility. *They have child centers that give you somewhere you can have the kids while you’re getting treatment, or where your child can hang out for an hour before or after their appt so you can run errands. *Your appointments are not rushed. They are patient, will happily listen to concerns, explain what they’re doing, and answer questions. They don’t rapid fire you through the appointment, they will take the time to do whatever your mouth/appliances need that day. OH and this is a big one: HURT FREE ZONE. Some discomfort is to be expected, but what you DON’T have to expect are nicks, jabs, rushed procedures where they yank, jerk, or pull too hard… Why? Because they pride themselves in their work and take the time to do it efficiently but humanely. *They have a cool point + reward system for kids. *The staff. Oh, the staff. Reception is kind and polite and remembers you even after 2 appts. The assisting staff members are knowledgeable, kind, and a pleasure to be around. (here’s looking at you especially, Hannah!) Staff is non judgemental. *They have two doctors, both are kind wonderful people, but I see Dr. Vu exclusively and she is INCREDIBLE. She really cares about you and your treatment, you’re not just a body in a chair. She talks to you as a human, and is so supportive and encouraging. She’s also incredibly warm and maternal, and just immediately puts you at ease. Her work is brilliant, and her methods are innovative and one of a kind. I truly cannot recommend this place enough!!!! 5 ‘s!!!

This place was recommended to me by five separate people and they have no disappointed so far. Wait time is near nonexistent which is a huge plus. They are honest and don’t try to push more expensive options – my son had wants Invisalign which they could have easily done for us at a higher cost but they were honest about the drawbacks and recommended we didn’t go with it.  Highly recommend!

I think this place is great! I just got my braces off and couldn’t be happier with my results! Dr.Vu is so friendly and caring and a perfectionist! Which I loved, she wanted to make sure everything was perfect! The staff there is very friendly, they offer great payment options, they send you emails and text to remind you about your next appointment, overall a great experience. Coming from someone who has had to get braces twice in their lifetime (for not wearing a retainer) I highly recommend coming here!!

I had my braces put on and removed in less than 9 months from Sonoran Smiles.  Dr. Vu and Dr. Shadow are both amazing!  They have multiple offices.  I visited the one in Gilbert and in Chandler and I had excellent experiences at both locations.  The staff was knowledgeable and friendly and it is obvious they care about their patients.  I never waited more than a couple minutes in their waiting room at either location.

She was very informative and very kind! After getting consultations from other offices, I have chosen her to be my orthodontist and look forward to being her patient! She was vert heartwarming and understood my concerns. I feel like I made the best decision!!

I get braces at the Arcadia location and I am so happy with Victoria. She has great work ethic, care about her patient and she listens to my questions and explains in a way that I could understand. Most important, she is proud of my progress, just by that, you know she takes her job seriously. She makes me excited to go and have the monthly visit. I would highly recommend Victoria to anyone thinking about getting braces. She is the best. You are in good hand for sure.

Both Dr. Vu and Dr. Shadow have treated myself and my 2 children. Both are EXCEPTIONAL clinicians and very skilled at what they do. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome and better service. They made my children feel very comfortable throughout their treatment. Their offices and treatment areas are CLEAN, professionally run, friendly and fun. Dr. Vu is especially skilled at treating challenging cases. I wouldn’t trust anybody else

ABSOLUTELY would recommend 1000 times over!! The staff is friendly and amazing and the providers are 3 times that! I waited years to be able to afford braces for myself and went into consultation expecting just that but was able to get the braces placed the very same day. (Not to mention the fresh baked cookies they make for the patients and families waiting) so yummy.

My son and daughter have been going there for about 2 years and everyone in the office is so friendly, approachable and caring. My kids love it because they do contests monthly and always have new and exciting incentives for the kids. I love it because it is reasonable and the people are very accommodating and easy to talk to.

I just finished my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Vu. I am really pleased with my result. The change in my teeth has been incredible and only took 7 months. Because two of my teeth are on the small side, Dr. Vu made my smile look even better with bonding. I also had two of my visits with Dr. Thayer, and she was great, she was really understanding and took time to answer my questions. The office staff were all really pleasant, and scheduling was easy. Overall, I am really happy with my result and my experience at Sonoran Smile.

I asked Dr. Shadow Asgari for some advice on braces that I already had done by a company that just runs a mill. She gave me professional advice never bad mouthing the job that was done. She was friendly attentive and professional. I wish I would of chose Sonoran Smiles do to my original job. I could see the difference in quality time with the Dr I would get verse the cheap inexpensive advertisement companies we tend to fall for as a consumer. I know where I will be taking my child. Thanks Doc!

Thank you Dr Vu and her incredible staff for giving me a smile I love. Being an adult getting braces can be very challenging. Everyone was so wonderful and caring. They were always friendly and professional. Dr. Vu will give you a smile like no other. It was better than I could of ever imagined.

Dr. Vu and her team are the best! My husband and I were recommended by my sister-in-law and we will definitely continue to recommend them to anyone. This is my and my husband’s second time around getting braces and we can tell the difference in everything she did that the previous Dr. didn’t do. She’s a perfectionist! Thank you Dr. Vu!

Sonoran Smile is an incredible orthodontics office. Not only do they give and care about the community around them but they are so good with patients too! My 11 year old daughter is almost done with her braces and the process has been flawless. I love both Dr. Shadow and Dr. Vu and all of the staff. They are so kind and understanding. Very clean and trendy too. Thank you guys for a great experience! I have 4 kids. I am sure I will be back 🙂

Sonoran Smile was amazing! I work for Chandler Unified School District and employees are free and family is 50% off. That is getting one kid for FREE for me. The office staff was so nice and professional. The location is perfect and the cost is perfect. Both my kids said the Doctor and staff were super kind and sweet. We have been super pleased so far. Thank you Sonoran Smile!

I really enjoyed our time with Dr. Vu. She has a great bedside manner. Her prices are very affordable compared to other orthodontists in the area. What I notice is that she really is a no-frills orthodontist. She doesn’t do a lot of gimmicky advertising like a lot of other orthodontist do, so she saves you a lot of money when it comes to the bottom line. She is professional, her office is nice and comfortable. She told us specifically what the issues were and I felt very comfortable with the treatment plan.

The staff was amazing, super friendly, and my appointments always ran on time. I love my results, my teeth turned out better than my first time getting braces! Now, I have a permanent retainer on both my top and bottom teeth, as well as a night retainer, so now I don’t have to worry about my teeth moving back : )

I am so happy with there service at this location; I transferred my orthodontist treatment from California and in just one month Sonoran smile was able to transform my teeth so much it is amazing. Wish I could have originally started my treatment with Sonoran smile. Highly recommend them. Keep up the good work ladies.

I am a previous patient with dental specialty and associates and was transferred to this location. I must say that I have been in the best hands since I have started my braces, if I would have come to this location in the first place my treatment would have been over within a year or less. She is great at her job and managed to close a gap that other orthodontist couldn’t seem to know how to close. Thank you so much to the staff for making this process seamless

The best place on earth! I don’t think I’ve ever been to a more welcoming dentist office in my life! We have 6 children so trust we have visited many dentist offices! I instantly knew from the consult this place would be our new dentist home �� Thank you! Our daughter said her new braces appointment was so much easier than she thought!

Thank you so much for all you have done and are doing for my family! With three of us receiving treatment simultaneously, it has been fun watching our smiles transform together. The atmosphere and culture makes us feel at home, and a part of the “family.” Thank you!

“Fantastic” Everybody was great! Friendly and professional. My daughter was getting braces and they made her feel comfortable. All options were clearly explained with no presure from anyone in the office. The front desk is always pleasant and helpful. I would recommend Sonoran Smile everyday, all day!!

Absolutely impressed by Jennifer and the Doctor. My 14 year old niece was visiting from the Midwest and was in pain and her doctor back home suggest we see an ortho out here. I contacted the office and worked with Jennifer and she was phenomenal! She offered advice to soothe the issue until we could get worked in to their schedule.  Which by the way, helped tremendously! They got us in first thing the next day! For my niece not being a patient I thought it was a slim to none chance but they got her in! Jennifer stayed in contact with me the entire time and the doc was awesome and fixed the issue within 15 minutes.  We are very apprecaitive for their outstanding service and can’t thank you enough! Great work and a huge thank you from all of us!!!

Thank you so much Sonoran Smile for my beautiful smile!  This was my second time getting braces as an adult, because I didn’t wear my retainer the first time : ( The staff was amazing, super friendly, and my appointments always ran on time.  I love my results, my teeth turned out better than my first time getting braces! Now, I have a permanent retainer on both my top and bottom teeth, as well as a night retainer, so now I don’t have to worry about my teeth moving back : )

Sonoran Smile Orthodontics is a wonderful place to entrust with your teeth. My wife was so impressed at her first consultative appointment. Everyone was so friendly on their staff. Dr. Shadow explained what her teeth needed and why. She was so pleased with the office’s cleanliness and impressed that she decided to get braces. She had her braces put on this week. Once again the staff was so kind and explained each step in the process. Dr. Vu and her staff were so thorough about how to take care of her teeth and gave her everything she needs to do just that! My wife and I love this place and the friendly people who work there and we would recommend Sonoran Smile.

During our free consultation visit we knew we had found the right place for our daughters braces! Even the receptionist greeted us with a hand shake! It was what impressed me the most! Everyone we met greeted us the same way! The environment is super friendly and professional. We are very excited to have found a dentist office that has done a very great job at accessing the care needed for our daughters orthodontic needs, their initial assessment has left my husband and I confident in the plan of action for care. We are thankful for your honest and accurate assessment! Keep up the good work!

Can’t say enough positive things!  Very family-friendly environment which puts any nervous kid or adult at ease!  The staff is friendly and professional, taking time to get to know you and are genuinely concerned about you.  Always showing the latest kid-friendly flicks in the waiting room AND while you’re in the chair while they work on your teeth.  Before your braces are adjusted, they let you visit the Brush Bar, where you can brush your teeth with a disposable toothbrush (with toothpaste already pretreated with toothpaste – just run under water and voila(!) foam!), floss (without having to thread through your braces), and swish your mouth with minty fresh mouthwash.  They use the latest in orthodontic technology and are always honest and straightforward in any issues or concerns that you have. But what about the people?  Everyone is courteous, and after a few visits, it is a familiar community of friendly, helpful folks.  Everyone knows your name and when it is your turn to have your braces adjusted, you are their sole focus.  Though everyone still talks to one another, it is NOT idle chit-chat, they’re at work, (working on you) helping one another out, making sure that you’re getting the best care possible.  You’re never left out of the conversation and if you have a problem with professionals talking among themselves, then I challenge YOU to not talk while YOU’RE at work.  Really, it is a trusting, professional environment and if you’re looking for a definition of teamwork, Sonoran Smile Orthodontics is it! Complimentary lip block, and water are always available during your visit.  Newly-braced patients are gifted a welcome bag with water bottle, toothbrush, floss threader, interdental toothbrush, wax, lip block, a handy printout of what foods NOT to eat, and another handy printout of how to care for your teeth, to set your orthodontic adventure off the right way!

I have been in the dental field for over 7 years. I referred a lot of patients over to Dr Vu at Sonoran Smile Orthodontics and every patient was extremely pleased with her work. I wanted to improve my smile for my upcoming wedding and I went to a few different places for prices. Dr Vu was by far the best in all aspects. The prices are reasonable they work with you and the work is phenomenal. I was done in just 12 months. I am extremely happy with my new smile because of Dr Vu Dr Shadow and all of the staff at Sonoran Smile Orthodontics.
