“Dr. Lugo put braces on both of my sons and we could not be happier. ”
Dr. Lugo has been an excellent orthodontist. He takes time with both the patients and their parents. His calm manner is great with the kids. I really love how he has taken the time to get to know both my sons.

“Great Doctor Great Staff!”
Dr Lugo always goes above and beyond what is expected. I have had both of my children's teeth taken care of by him as well as my own. Even after treatment is completed Dr Lugo and his staff are always willing to help.

“Very professional and accurate information ”
No wait, super friendly staff and professional. Information was accurate with no sales pressure. Dr.Lugo was very sweet in his approach to our apprehensive daughter and she felt very comfortable.
Will not hesitate to recommend to family and friends.

Dr. Lugo is genuinely concerned about the well-being of my teeth and always offers best practices. He, as well as, his staff, is also very friendly and makes me feel welcomed every time I visit. I will recommend him always, hands down!

“Great Experience!”
Dr. Lugo is very caring and patient. He takes the time to answer any questions or concerns I have. He has seen both of my children and even helped me get a new retainer for myself when I did not see him for my braces years ago!
