Find an Orthodontist Near You

Ask a Friend
One of the easiest ways to find the best orthodontist in Seattle is to ask friends who they recommend. If your friends have similar tastes in other topics, you are likely to have a similar goal when it comes to picking a healthcare provider. This is especially true if you are seeking the best orthodontist in Seattle to take your child to. Typically, if their best friend likes an orthodontist, your child will, too. Very often, you will find that your friends are happy to brag about a positive experience they had when straightening their teeth. Just remember to look up the orthodontist's website to get more information and to make sure that they offer the services you need.

In our office, we are proud to treat generations of families, working with grandparents, parents, and children throughout the local area. This enables us to establish a rapport with our patients that makes each child in the family more comfortable with straightening their teeth. As an example, when the oldest sibling gets braces, all of the other ones are watching and probably hanging out in the waiting room during adjustments. This way, when it is their turn to get braces, they are comfortable with the office and staff. If you find an orthodontist that can treat the entire family, like ours, it can make having orthodontic treatments far more convenient.

Look Up Reviews
Online reviews are an easy way to quickly check the reputation of an orthodontist and ensure that other patients are satisfied with the level of care they are receiving. By reading through the good, the bad, and the ugly, you can get a fair understanding of what working with a particular orthodontist is like. We recommend conducting a search for the best orthodontist in Seattle. If you are interested in a particular service or need them to treat a specific age group, add those keywords to your search. For example, "best orthodontist in Seattle for children". After the paid ads and local business listings, a variety of review sites will typically pop up. Yelp tends to be at the top along with Angie's List. By clicking through to those sites, you can read other patient reviews. Yelp uses a star rating system, so it is easy to identify if an orthodontist office is beloved by patients or is in need of improvement. You can even look at the profile of the person writing the review to see how many reviews they have written. This can be helpful in determining the quality of the review overall.

Another way to read reviews is by searching on Google+. When you conduct a search for the best orthodontist in Seattle, the local listings will appear next to the map, directly underneath the paid ads. Under each listing is both a star and numerical rating based on reviews that patients have written on the orthodontist's Google+ profile. As a local orthodontist, we encourage patients to leave reviews so that those who have not worked with us can get a better feel for our office environment and the high-quality patient care that we provide. Other practices do the same, and this allows you to glance at the orthodontist offices listed, to see who is truly the best in the area based on patient experiences.

Conduct Research
You can also perform research independently. Similar to when you were looking for reviews, conduct a search for the "best orthodontist in Seattle" for the service that you are looking for. Next, visit the website of the orthodontist offices that come up and read through the information on their site. Review the services that they offer and write down any questions you may have. This will give you a good idea of whether they are the best orthodontist in Seattle, the best children's orthodontist in Seattle, or none of the above. Compare the information they present with the information provided on the websites of other orthodontics practices until you find one that you feel will best fit the needs of your family.

Social Media Reviews and Referrals
If you live in the local area or anywhere in Washington, it can sometimes be easier to ask for a referral or feedback on social media. Given how easy it is to post on the go, you can ask your friends who the best orthodontist in Seattle is while waiting for a meeting or cooking dinner. Understandably one of the easiest ways to find an orthodontist is to hear what other patients have to say, so reading the replies and comments can be very enlightening. You can also check out the Facebook profiles of your friends to see if they are a fan of any local orthodontist practices. You can then click to visit the practice’s profile page and read information about their services as a whole. Patient reviews on social media profiles can be a helpful resource for seeing what local patients have to say.

If you are looking for the best general orthodontist in Seattle, best children's orthodontist in Seattle, or even the best oral surgeon, you can also receive helpful information by asking a question on Google+ or even Twitter.
