Natana S.
Initially, I was anxious about getting Invisalign, concerned it would be a painful process. The friendly staff put me at ease right away and they were correct. It was painless, and they were with me every step of the way, answering questions and working with my schedule and with my periodontist. I highly recommend Dr. Galante. The treatment was effective for me and I now have beautiful straight teeth! Thank you everyone at Cater Galante Orthodontics.
Lori C.
Every interaction I had at Cater Galante Orthodontist was absolutely above and beyond.
I love my new wider smile, and my teeth are all straightened. The finance part was easy, I knew what to expect the entire time, and all the gals from front office, back office, to Ortho assistants..The Drs did a wonderful job managing my plan.
Thank you for a very pleasant experience 😊
