  • From the outset, Depew and his staff have been absolutely awesome. We are a few months into my daughter's braces and everything has been great. I feel much better about affording this beautiful smile that I know we will have because of Dr. Depew and his team!

    Brian Alcala

  • Our family has 3 patients here and all 3 experiences have been 5 star. Extremely professional yet personable staff. We are thrilled with our results and would highly recommend.

    Julie Smith

  • Depew Orthodontics is amazing! My treatment experience using Invisalign has been been nothing short of the best. Such a warm, welcoming, family friendly environment with the most wonderful staff. I am truly happy and thankful that I chose to work with Depew Orthodontics. I highly recommend them to take care of your orthodontic needs.

    Kati Gibson

  • A very good first impression. Everyone was pleasant and had a friendly smile. Dr. Depew is the best, especially for adult orthodontics! I would not recommend anyone else.
