After hearing wonderful things about Dr. Kate’s practice and affordable payment plans, I chose them to put on my braces. I glad I chose them. The orthodontists, assistants, and administrative staff are on friendly, professional, and look out for my best interest. I would definitely choose this practice !

I’ve been going to Premier Smiles since 2018 and I must say Ms Gail ALWAYS displays exceptional customer service and runs the office well! All of the Dental assistants are great but once Ann worked on me, I’ve requested her every since. She does a great job making sure I am comfortable, explaining the work being done and fielding questions that may arise. Lastly, I met the new doctor at Cedar location for first time today and she was awesome as well. She really made me feel like she cared about my concerns and thoroughly explained the plan of action. Thanks for a great experience!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Dale Kates since 2005. In 15 years, I have NEVER had a negative experience. The staff has always been professional and courteous – you feel welcomed from the time you walk in the door. Yesterday was no exception. Sebastian was awesome! He was knowledgeable, friendly and personable. We chatted while he replaced my wires and bands. So, before I left he gave me a plaque that was sitting on his workstation. If you or someone you know is looking for an orthodontist, I highly recommend Premier Smiles Orthodontics. They have several locations in the Cleveland area.

I am with American Orthodontic Lab and I’ve been working with Dr. Kate’s for the last 25 years. Dr. Kates and his staff have been nothing but the best. Since I’m his lab technician, I’ve seen the quality of work his office puts out. Everyone is so friendly and always make me feel at home. I would “highly” recommend anyone who needs orthodontia to visit Dr. Kates and you will be extremely pleased at the results and quality of care.

I have 2 son’s who had complicated cases and years apart Dr. Kates gave my husband and I along with our son’s corrective options for them. The recommendation was not necessarily for the most aggressive approach or immediate action. We were made to feel secure, like family and we all have big, beautiful smiles. The staff is very pleasant, keeps you informed about both patient information and progress as well as financial matters. 3 members of my family including me (with Invisalign) have passed through the office as patients in the last 11 years. We have been well taken care every step of the way.

I had a very good time here! It’s bittersweet to finally be leaving. I love how over time you’re not just a patient anymore. The women at the front desk start to know you and remember your name it’s almost like your other family when it comes to your teeth. Overall my experience here was nice and I definitely would recommend them to others.

My experience there has always been great. But when I got my braces, I really loved the communication and understanding we all had between ourselves. I knew what was going on, and they communicated things very well to me. One worker in particular, Michelle, was really nice and helpful the whole time. She made me laugh when I had first got there upset from some person before. From then on my experience was fantastic. Plus I got to watch TV! I was so comfortable I could have fell asleep while they were working on me.

Excellent service! I have had the best experiences at this office from the moment you walk in, you are greeted with a smile and they make you feel welcome! The financial process was very smooth & all the time he made sure that all my questions and concerns were answered. My daughter has a fear of medical/dental workers. She told me how she loves coming to this office, and she likes it because all the people she dealt with were always nice, and made sure she felt comfortable and if any questions or concerns she had they answered and made her feel at ease and she actually looks forward to her appointments at this office. Any parent out there that has a child with a medical office fear, this place is great for your kid(s). Office is very clean, staff is friendly and very professional. I recommend this office to all my friends and family. 5⭐️

I went to premier smiles a few months back for a consultation for braces and it was a wonderful experience. The work environment was very calm and laid back. The staff there were so kind and friendly I felt super comfortable, like id known them for years. When it came down to payment options they were very helpful and I didn’t feel push to make a decision. I would recommend this place to anyone is a great place!!!

My teenage daughter is seen there as well. Ms. Yvette is the BEST! She goes above and beyond to help us! Please if you’re having financial issues I recommend you speaking with her, she’ll do everything in her power to help you achieve your beautiful smile!!!

ALICIA WAS VERY PLEASANT, I had trouble at the shaker heights office years back and I was uncomfortable even making and appointment. I called the university location and started back treatment. From the phone call, walking in the door, and finishing my appointment every single staff members was very pleasant! They are the best! If you are looking to get braces please come to university! You’ll love the staff! Oh and I offered Alicia lunch or a soda she didn’t take it, she came and found me and introduced herself once I was in the office! VERY PLEASED! Even the financial officer Bill worked with me and was extremely nice! He was so nice I paid a month ahead ❤️

I recommend this company to everyone I come across needing some assistance with their teeth and smile. Thanks for being great to me and my family. My son will be joining the Premier Smiles family soon!

The orthodontic team, doctors, secretaries and dental assistants alike, all know your name and treat you like family and with consistancy! I have never had a negative experience going into the office. I’m a little sad my braces came off today, (after 5 years, yes my teeth were that bad!) but so pleased with my results and look forward to check up visits with my awesome tech Byron!

★★★★★

I had the most amazing experience with my Ortho-Tech, Michelle. She was polite, courteous and professional. She explained what she was doing and what I should expect during my next visit. I told her about some discomfort I was having with my Invisoline and she gave me suggestions on how to resolve my issue. I am extremely delighted with my experience today. Oh, and Dr. D made me smile. I appreciate his professionalism and humor. Mychael

Just had to say Premier Smiles Warrensville Hts. is awesome. The whole staff is the epitome of professionalism. I had an issue with my splint and went in for my appointment and it was taken care of immediately. Dr. Sarraj was in the office that day and I can say he’s the man!!! He took care of my every need and made sure I was happy before I left. Also, the general mgr. was awesome as well. Great customer service from her. They get 5 stars from me. Dr. Kates, Dr. Sarraj and the whole staff, you rock!!! Shinata S.

This was my 1st visit to the office on Cedar, as my grandson had an appointment this afternoon & mom was unavailable due to work. From the time I walked into the office, until the time we left, I was very impressed with each member of the staff. I listened to the front desk staff speak to the patrons via phone for over an hour as I waited for his service to be completed. Each call or in person visit by a patron was handled with care, concern and an extreme level of unmatched professionalism. I also told Michelle who escorted him back to the lobby. Keep up the good work.

I am a patient of Premier Smiles and I can honestly say that my ortho care has been wonderful! I have nothing but good things to say about the clinical staff. When it comes to the dentist, it seems like I revert back to being a child. My anxiety gets the best of me each and every time. But the whenever I come to this location, they make me feel comfortable and they are very understanding . I would highly recommend Premier Smiles Orthodontics.

My daughter does not come to this office, but they were very accommodating when I called to see about getting my daughter’s wires off before her cleaning appointment today. I explained to the person on the phone our situation as to why I wanted to see if my daughter could be seen here. It was np. Everyone was so nice and service was quick! My daughter said no one was scrambling around looking for tools or having personal conversations….They were ready. Thank you!

The place is always clean, perfect temperature inside the building. I can’t brag enough on this place. If you want a ortho home this is the place.

Excellent in every way! I really enjoy the staff here they are not just working on your teeth to give you a better smile ; They are also people who become like your friend. I’ve had many great conversations and relationships here and they are always gentle on your teeth and include you in what they’re doing while they work. The head doctor is very professional and will make sure to take his time with you before he leaves to his next patient. 10-10 would recommend! Update: today was the big day and I finally got my braces off , they took such good care of me and It’s a bittersweet end but I love the way they turned out.

My son is a new patient, transferred from a different orthodontist., and so far we are very impressed with the customer service. We called to check for any cancellations yesterday, and the gentleman who answered the phone was so nice about it. We could tell the staff put in effort to allow us to change the appointment. We really appreciate it!!
