Definitely would recommend this office to anyone looking for orthodontics!! 10/10 across the board!!
What an amazing practice! From the initial phone call, till you walk in the door and you’re greeted with smiles and laughter and then you meet Dr Siomka! Every moment has been just great! They make you feel like you’re part of a family and not just another patient! Thank you Dr Siomka and staff! You’re a true blessing to our family!
Excellent service! One child out of braces, one still going. They’re always friendly, professional, and quick to fix anything same day!
We couldn’t be happier with our choice to go with Siomka Orthodontics! We always feel welcome when we arrive and they are extremely helpful! Thank you for all that you do!
Both of my kids have had orthodontics with Dr. Siomka. We have had nothing but positive experiences. Dr. Siomka and his staff are warm and welcoming, and have always taken the time to make them comfortable. I would highly recommend Dr. Siomka to anyone needing orthodontic care.
Siomka Orthodontics is so kind, accommodating, & helpful! Thanks for always being a positive experience! It's such a wonderful staff of welcoming and thoughtful people!

Coming back for a second time with my youngest son. Love this team! Great and professional people! Reasonable and affordable price! Highly recommend this place!
We’ve been a patient of Dr. Siomka for several years now. The Staff are amazing! Dr. Siomka has saved us a ton of money by his approach to having teeth removed bit by bit with close monitoring in between. My daughter has a very small jaw structure with very large teeth, leaving little room for a straight smile. We just passed our first year of braces and it’s going very well. We had two other Ortho consults locally that wanted to start her with expanders immediately with two phases of ortho care, but couldn’t give us a definitive reason for doing so. As a result of having teeth wiggled out here and there, we only had to do one Phase of braces. We have been very happy with Dr. Siomka’s office overall. Their communication has been great and they have very flexible scheduling.
Fantastic office staff, and wonderful Ortho care. So excited to see the progress of the beautiful smile of my son
Above and beyond service. The staff is the best!
Always amazing! Great and knowledgeable staff, always answer questions and concerns professionally, very accommodating work scheduling. I'm do happy with the service!
Everyone is so friendly and engaging. The entire experience runs like clockwork
We have 6 children and have been coming here for over 10 years. As a former dental hygienist, I cannot say enough good things about everyone here. One of my daughters had a complete underbite, and the difference the expander alone made was amazing. I have peace of mind knowing we started early (check-ups by age 7), and in using the expander we prevented costly, painful, and risk of facial paralysis from oral surgery(jaw wired shut) as an adult. Two children have completed treatment and their smiles are gorgeous! 3 are currently in braces, and one will start expansion soon.(He has a tremendous amount of crowding). Every employee here from the top down has thorough knowledge of the mouth. They are cautious not to do unnecessary treatment. As far as cost goes, I can't compare with others in the area. But as a former hygienist, I have seen orthodontics done so badly that irreparable harm was done in having teeth moved too quickly, resulting in bone loss and a worse bite than before their orthodontic treatment. So buyer beware, you get what you pay for. Lisa and Tracy will work with your budget. We've always received the upfront discount for paying in advance of treatment. (We charged the credit card for cash back). They offer monthly payments too, and a multifamily discount. Lisa and Tracy have even helped with scheduling conflicts and minor emergencies. They are quick to return calls, although it seems the phone is always ringing at this office! They are busy, but highly competent, and extremely friendly. The assistants, Michelle and Donna, have been phenomenal in teaching and promoting good hygiene. They have been gracious and treated us when Dr Siomka has been on vacation, and a rubber band or wire has popped. Thankfully, this hasn't happened often, but they have taken great care of us. They take the best, easiest impressions ever!! Even for gaggers. Highly competent! As for Dr Siomka, I can't say enough good things. My children have been very challenging with severe crowding and one severe underbite. He has handled it all with great care, thoughtfulness, and caution to do it the right way. He and his entire team are the best!
Both my kids are receiving care from Siomka Orthodontics. They are absolutely amazing. Very flexible, helpful, & friendly. I highly recommend this office.
Dr. Siomka is the best! He is so great with my kids. The staff is so friendly and helpful too. Dr. Siomka was also my orthodontist. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
We are extremely satisfied with this practice. We are so glad we chose to take our daughter here.
Incredible office, helpful and thorough staff and a pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend the entire practice!
I love these guys. Always accommodating. Personable, kind, on time, friendly, my son even loved this place. 💯 would recommend! I have never had a bad visit! Kinda sad it’s almost over! 😊
Loved my visit! I recently moved to the area and my daughter broke my plastic retainer, they got me in the next day to make a replacement for me. Overall, the staff is so kind, clean office, and easy scheduling!
