Dr. Gao and her dental team are absolutely amazing. The love and care that they put into crafting the perfect smile for you will always be the reason I will refer them to everyone who wants a great experience along their braces journey. Dr. Gao and her team surpassed all my expectations and left me speechless when I saw my new smile. I literally cannot stop smiling 1010 experience

Words can not properly express my gratitude for the expertise offered by Dr. Gao and her staff.Dr. Gao rescued me from a dentists harmful and ill-trained Invisalign work. Please do not repeat my mistake by going through this process with an undertrained dentist who merely has a certificate to sell the product. The undertaking of the Invisalign process was originally sold to me as a treatment of two years and for a rate of 6000. As Ive heard it said going to a dentist who thinks they can do everything is like going to a buffet. Sure you may eat food but if youd like a fine steak or fresh sushi it is preferable to go to a specialty restaurant.Dr. Gao had to place me into traditional wire braces temporarily to repair the damage caused by the dentist. FYI an orthodontist masters the movement of the individual teeth and the jaw structure. This may not be the case with a general dentist who does not specialize in this treatment.Dr. Gao will inform you of the appropriate treatment plan for you. She will not try to sell you an expensive one fits all procedure. The entire staff is valuable to the practice. They are inviting and friendly. Dr. Gao makes you excited to possess the teeth that you really want.

I am SO thankful for Dr. Gao I had previous Invisalign treatment at a different orthodontist who left me with more issues than I came with. I was feeling hopeless about the process and was in daily pain due to the improper treatment by my prior ortho. Dr. Gao truly saved the day She was able to completely fix my bite back into a comfortable position alleviating the pain I was experiencing and fixed all of the cosmetic issues I was wanting straightened out. I could not recommend Dr. Gao more I wish I had found her sooner- it definitely would have saved me a lot of stress pain and money

Dr. Gao and the entire team is great Everyone I interacted with was very friendly and their office is very organized. I never had to wait past my appointment time to be seen. Not only does Dr.Gao run on time but she is very efficient once youre in the patient chair. I had Invisalign and would definitely recommend it. It is a painless process and the results are worth it Im very happy with my new smile and the entire process took about 10 months. Thank you again Dr. Gao and team for a positive experience

My daughter has been seeing Dr.Gao for six months now. Her teeth look way better than before. Dr.Gao is very friendly and professional. She answered all our questions and concerns. The staffs are very nice too I feel very comfortable for Dr.Gao to fix my daughters teeth. I strongly recommend Westwood Orthodontics if you are still browsing around for orthodontics.

I heard about Dr. Gao from a friend. I had a few consults from other orthodontists but after meeting her I knew that this was the way to go and I havent looked back since.. She is really good at what she does is friendly and above all I trust her to always treat me like I am her own family member. What else would you want from your docThank you Dr. Gao Now I see why my friend sent me to you. Oh and the location is awesome. Highly recommended.
