Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My Son's Perfect Smile
Dear Dr. Schabel, I was just looking at group FB postings of my son, Curtis. The things that I notice most are that he is smiling, and his smile pretty much outshines everyone else's. This was a while ago, but thank you for your work with my now 27 year old son. I recommend your practice to those young and old(er). Sincerely, Stacy Hughes

The staff provide excellent service and care. Keep up the good work! When you are this good - a less than experience would stand out. Just know that your everyday customer service really shines.

North coast has been exceptional! Both my kids have had their braces done here and always had wonderful experiences! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The office is beautiful and we couldn't have asked for more.

From the first to almost the last appointment (my son just got his braces off!), we have had excellent service and prompt appointments and most importantly, because of Dr. Schabel my son has kept all 14 teeth on the top and bottom, when all of the other "reputable and recommended" orthodontist would have just pulled them or used outdated methods to preserve them (like drilling into the roof of his mouth). Dr. Schabel used a more modern expander so he didn't have to have less teeth, which will he

Absolutely the best team that I could have chosen for the orthodontic needs of my children! They are always friendly, punctual, professional, and great at what they do! My boys' teeth look amazing, especially compared to when they started treatment! Totally worth it!

I just finished treatment at North Coast Orthodontics and I honestly could not express my gratitude and happiness enough. For a really long time I was super unhappy with my smile, and would tend to cover my mouth with my hands when I laughed or didn't smile a lot in pictures. The day my braces came off was so emotional , I could not believe the girl in the mirror with the beautiful smile was me! hank you so much Dr.Chan, Dr. Schabel, and NCO team, you all have really changed my life. =]

The braces experience for my thirteen year old daughter Kalae couldn't have been better! Problems with her bite were corrected four months ahead of schedule which made us all smile. Thank you North Coast Orthodontics.

I have nothing but good to say about the outstanding level of care provided by Dr. Schabel and Dr. Chan. I have been particularly impressed with Dr. Schabel's accessibility--he is always willing to take the time to explain what he is doing, what the procedure is that he is using, and the intended results. Any questions or concerns that I had were quickly addressed by Dr. Schabel. I was never left in the dark or shuffled off to one of his technicians for information. He is the best.
