Xiaobin Wang

Dr. Yu and all the staff here are very friendly and patient with our kids. We are very happy with the result.

Patricia Rivera

My son had braces from October 2023 through June 2025 and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and efficient. Visits were always quick and the office was spotless every time we came in.

The orthodontist is amazing, kind, patient, and truly skilled. My son used to be very self-conscious about his smile but now he can’t stop smiling. The results are beautiful and it’s been such a confidence boost for him.

We are beyond grateful for the care and attention he received throughout the process. I highly recommend this office to anyone considering orthodontic treatment. You’ll be in great hands.

Marco

I had my first ortho treatment with Yu Smiles. I was on clear aligners for about a year and a half, and will now be switching to retainers.
The overall experience was great and I have not a single complain. Dr. Yu is capable and helpful, and always willing to answer questions. Sandy operating the scanners and x-ray is very kind and gentle. Gale at the front desk is super sweet and radiant, and it's always a pleasure to talk to her. Just ask, and she's willing to help you figure out payments and plan what's the best option financially for you. Jasmine, Kathleen, and the whole team have always been kind and fair with me.
I would definitely recommend this place for your teeth alignment treatment.
