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.

The office staff and Dr. Newman are incredibly patient and helpful. Dr. Newman is compassionate and took the time to explain everything and made my daughter feel comfortable with the whole process. She is just finishing treatment and her smile looks amazing! Thank you Dr. Newman and your wonderful team!

I just finished my Invisalign treatment and had the best experience with Dr. Newman and his staff. I had been told by another Orthodontist that I could not achieve my goals with Invisalign and Dr. Newman assured me that I could in under 18 months. I'm very happy with my results! If you're thinking about Invisalign, Dr. Newman can make it happen for you!

Arrogant, talks down to parents, does not like if you have question regarding child’s plan of care. Very rude.

Trying to find an orthodontist for my daughter who has a severe bilateral cleft lip and palate was not easy!! After a Long difficult search Dr. Newman was wiling and eager to take her on. He worked seamlessly together with my daughter’s doctors in Boston and together they have truly performed miracles for her!! Through the years, and all of the many many appointments, his staff has accommodated all of our needs. They are very pleasant to deal with and we’ve never had an issue in scheduling or waiting. I can’t say enough good things about Dr.Newman and his crew. I highly recommend!!!

I am very grateful & fortunate to have found Dr. Newman in our plan, he takes the time to explain the process every step of the way. My daughter just got her braces off & we are extremely happy with the results. I would definitely recommend him if you want someone who cares about results & genuinely cares for your child. Staff are friendly & very helpful as well.

I feel as though I have been a part of this family for many years. both my son and daughter both have beautiful amazing smiles thanks to dr. Newman and his incredible staff. When it was all said and done at 50 I decided it was time for myself. Dr. Newman agreed that I would be a good candidate for Invisalign. 7 months later I have the smile that I've always wanted. Can't say enough about dr. Newman and the wonderful staff that he surrounds himself with.

I used to have such terrible teeth that smiling made me self-conscious. Today, I had my final appointment and cannot believe how wonderful my smile looks now! Not only did they produce incredible results, but Dr. Newman and his staff were accommodating, quick to make adjustments, friendly, and helpful. They made the unpleasant process of Invisalign simple and easy to follow. I cannot recommend this practice highly enough. Thanks to them, I cannot get enough of smiling!

As an older adult, I was somewhat hesitant about how Invisalign would work for me. I selected Dr. Newman’s office because it seemed more personal than other offices I visited. Each visit I was greeted with a smile and I never had to wait. The entire process from beginning to end went very smoothly. My teeth look great and I am so glad I did it. Thanks to everyone at Newman Orthodontics.

Dr Newman is a wonderful orthodontist who is experienced with setting goals to having a bright and straight smile. His location is convenient. His office waiting time was 10 minutes or less. I will highly recommend Dr Newman to others. I am pleased with my daughter’s smile.

We couldn't be more pleased! Our daughter's smile turned out even better than we hoped and in slightly less time than anticipated. Dr. Newman was warm, approachable and extremely knowledgeable. His staff is courteous, efficient and respectful of the patient's time (i.e., no long waits in the waiting room). All in all, without exception, the best decision we could have made regarding our daughter's dental care!
