Practice Profile Page

Today i had my braces removed!  Best feeling ever!  But a little sad because i will eventually stop seeing them so often. Susana is so nice and tried to accomodate my busy schedule as much as possible. The assistants are the best!  Gisela and Elvira are great always so happy and friendly and very efficient. Dr. Howard Lee was amazing he made sure I was happy with the outcome and helped me adjust my concerns and made my smile look perfect.

We absolutely love Dr. Lee & his entire Staff! Dr. Lee is pleasant & patient with the kids and communicates very clearly always.  The Assistants & Staff are equally nice & are always right on schedule for each and every appointment. A perfect choice for both our son & daughter – each requiring a different plan of treatment. Our son only needed 1 Phase of care for a little over 2 years, while our daughter is needing both Phase 1 & Phase 2.  Our son’s braces were removed & he received his retainer yesterday. We are all very pleased with the final result 🙂 !!

I came here two years ago so I’m almost done with my treatment! Yay!!! I actually went to the dental office next-door for a consultation but they didn’t offer braces for me so I walked in to Huntington orthodontist and got a free consultation with Dr. Lee. i was told I have a minor underbite so I might need to wear jaw expander by other Doctors, but Dr. Lee said I don’t have to wear the expander, it can be corrected with braces alone. I was super happy about that and decided to go with them. Everybody in that office is kind and friendly. When I go in for my adjustment I can usually go in and out in about 15 minutes. I suggest you go in the morning if you can. It’s way less crowded. If you go after 3:30 there will be a lot of students there since it’s after school hrs. Susanna is the front desk manager she is super friendly and helpful. I called her many times to reschedule my appointment because my work and school schedule. she’s always patient about it.  She will always call me a day a head of time to remind me of my appointment. she is the best!!! I normally don’t like to go to dental offices but here they treat you like family instead of just another patients. I like their wall, it’s light green with quotes on it! Dr. Lee is very professional and he is patient. he will work with you. On top of making my teeth straight he worked with my personal preference. I told him a couple times that I’m unhappy with my upper teeth, and he just kept adjusting them till they met my need. Even though I want perfect teeth I know that everybody’s teeth are shaped differently and sometimes it’s just hard to get exactly what I want. I appreciate Dr.Lee’s effort. Everybody else who works there are funny, gentle and professional. Anyway, so far I really like this office and I would suggest it to my friend and family.

My teeth were so busted before I got my braces. I’m 13 months in and my teeth look look amazing! Dr. Lee is an amazing orthodontist who knows his stuff. The staff make my visits so much fun! They make me feel like part of the family. I always have fun chatting with Elvira while she works on my teeth. Tina, at the front desk, is the sweetest! She always works around my schedule. Get your teeth fixed here! You won’t regret it!

Dr. Lee has been my daughter ‘s orthodontist for a little over two years and he and his staff have been great.  Dr. Lee takes our insurance and made the billing process easy. The office staff has been awesome as well working with our schedule for all appointments. The wait time is practically non existent as we show up for the appointments and get seen immediately.   I will definitely recommend his practice to all my friends.

My entire family is currently undergoing orthodontic treatment at this office.  It started with our 15 year old daughter receiving such great service that my wife and I decided to purchase the orthodontic care we had discussed for so long.  The staff is always pleasant and accomadating.  Tina who is usually at the front desk once met us here on a Sunday morning, opened the office and fixed an issue with our daughters braces!  The facility is clean and modern.  The care and results have been fantastic so far.  If you are considering orthodontic care, you would not regret getting it at Dr. Howard Lee’s office!

Dr. Lee and his staff are very cordial and friendly. Unlike other doctors or dentists that I have met, Dr. Lee is open to questions regarding your treatment. I never feel out of the loop about what is being added or changed. They explain why you would need a bite plate or why your wires must be changed or why they would need to file a tooth. They always update you about your progress so far and how much more needs to be done. They are flexible with appointments. I have had to change my appointments on multiple occasions because I am a university student and my schedule would change every 4 months. They accommodated every time. They treat you as people, not just as patients. They like to send out Christmas and birthday cards. They personalize your experience with a birthday wall for each month and a congratulatory wall for people who have recently gotten their braces off. I’ll be happy to be on that wall when I get my braces off, but I’ll be sad to not see them every 3-4 weeks. I have had my braces for two years and the results so far are amazing. Braces sounded like a horror story according to friends who had theirs done when they were young. However, when I came to Dr. Lee’s office I found it to be an wonderful experience. I recommend this office for anyone.

Dr. Howard Lee is everything that you would want in a healthcare professional. Extremely knowledgable and approachable, a great and patient communicator, and always gentle yet firm in delivering his exceptional technical gifts to patients of all ages. Dr. Hughes and his staff are exactly the same. We are very lucky to have him.

Absolutely love Dr. Lee and all his staff. Both our kids have had a great experience and beautiful outcome with their braces.  Tina in the front is amazing and so helpful specially when we have had to cancel and reschedule (my over scheduling too lol).  I highly recommend Dr. Lee and his professional and extremely friendly staff.   Thank you Dr.Lee for the kids amazing smiles!  Grace and James thank you as well!.
