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.

No respect no apology no hygiene no skills
I had a deeply disappointing experience at Arlington Orthopedics due to unprofessional and disrespectful treatment from the staff, including John and his wife. A nurse was rough with my glasses, and later implied I needed a translator due to my English proficiency. Another nurse spoke without a mask, which led to spit landing in my mouth. When discussing a payment plan, John’s wife became visibly upset and insisted on more money, while John rushed a procedure, leaving my teeth with an uneven shape and ongoing pain. Despite my complaints, they offered no apology, ignored my calls until I used a different number, and appeared to incentivize positive reviews with prizes, which made me question the credibility of their reviews. Overall, I felt the experience lacked professionalism, care, and respect.

Retainers
Had a good experience. Got retainers after I finished my at home aligners treatment. Wanted a better quality retainer because I did my aligners online and I don’t trust smile direct club. Will be back for another backup retainer

Love our local orthodontist
We have used Dr. Lindgren for both our kids and even for myself. He is fair in his assessments and doesn't push anything. My son first visited to get an assessment and he was diagnosed with perfect teeth! Nothing required. When my daughter first visited, he said she didn't need anything. However, over time, our dentist suggested that she may need another evaluation. We went to visit Dr. Lindgren again and he reviewed everything and determined a course of action. We had a few choices and went with palate expander and braces in the future. Every visit is good and no fear at all. As for me, my dentist recommended I see an orthodontist bc my teeth were not lining up properly (for years) and he was worried about wear. My visit with Dr. Lindgren also was an assessment and again, to fix my problem, there were many options (including jaw surgery!) however, he said a night guard was probably the best method as my teeth were working just fine. This is a top notch local gem!

I had a terrible experience with Arlington Orthodontics; I would give them negative stars if I could. The atmosphere was so unwelcoming and hostile; they clearly just did not want my business. I also thought it was strange how unavailable the dentists, Dr. Lindgren was. Every time I asked to talk to him about my questions and concerns, I was told he did not have time to speak to me. I would never recommend this place to anyone. I took my business elsewhere and I suggest you do the same.

My child had a very positive experience with getting braces at Dr. Lindgren's office. She was taken care of very well at all of the visits throughout the process, with great results at the end. Scheduling was easy, and everyone at the office was friendly and helpful.

He might have knowledge of his field but his skills of orthopedics are not enough.

Dr Lingren is very experienced and friendly, he always answers questions patiently from parents as well as kids and kids love him! His office environment are also kids friendly and clean. His office staff and nurses are all very nice and helpful. At the first the evaluation step, they have the new advanced 3D tachnique so the kid won't need a traditional unpleasant molding procedure. Much more to share but the space has limitation, so five stars! Thank you Dr Lingren and all your staff!

We liked *everything* about this office - Dr. Lindgren, the hours & the office staff! A special shout-out to Kara. She spent an entire morning on the phone (before we were officially patients) with me & the insurance companies on the last day of open enrollment trying to help me to figure out the best way to cover our upcoming dental costs. She was so knowledgeable & helpful. She helped me formulate questions & figure out our out-of-pocket costs. She was invaluable in the planning process!

I took my son to Dr. John Lindgren at Arlington Orthodontics. I am very pleased with Dr. Lindgren's services! My son has finished treatment and his teeth look great. Dr. Lindgren is very pleasant and personable, and he was easy for my son to talk to. He is knowledgeable and professional, and he always answered my questions thoroughly. He was recommended by my son's pediatric dentist. The dental office is very new, modern, and clean. I highly recommend Dr. Lindgren.

We had an excellent experience with Arlington Orthodontics, from start to finish. We originally went in for a second opinion, thinking that we would probably just go with our regular pediatric dentist who also happened to have an on-staff orthodontist. Once we met with Dr. Lindstrom, we immediately felt comfortable with him and knew he was the right choice for our son's orthodontic work. He offered a much more modern solution for my son's overbite, and even made an accommodation (the Patriots
