We love everything about our experience at Cater Galante. They explain everything clearly, work with payment schedules, and are extremely kind! Not to mention the plan for my son’s teeth has had better results than we could have imagined. Absolutely recommend !
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.
