What Our Patients Say

We've been so happy with Dr. Stella and her team! Our son started at age 7. He had a very high arch, was doing speech therapy and had done myofunctional therapy. His jaw is so much wider and his smile is so good now. He also was able to graduate speech therapy recently! He's sleeping better and not snoring any longer. Thank you for helping my son's health!
Awesome place! Dr. Stella has been great
We love Stellar, both my daughter and I are working on expansion and the process is going great! Everyone is very friendly and helpful.
From scheduling to sitting in Dr. Stella’s exam chair, everything was super smooth and easy. The front office team, Leeana and Maigen, were really pleasant to work with and amazing with my 7‑year‑old neurodiverse son—they helped get his imaging and pictures done without any stress and were so great with him. The office is set up to be kid‑accommodating and parent‑appreciating, with a cold beverage of choice waiting and fun kid‑friendly activities in the waiting area. Very thoughtful practice! I left our consultations feeling really informed about both our needs and never felt pushed to start any treatment. Instead, I really appreciated how focused the team was on explaining what would be best for each of us individually. I liked getting contacts and resources for extra support I might need—all shared with me the same day as our appointments. Great follow‑through. Some places still know how to make you feel like a valued customer! For sure, we’ve got our family orthodontist with Stellar!
Wow! I am so blown away by my experience with Dr. Stella and my MARPE install. I was so anxious this morning fearing the pain of the installation. Not only was Dr. Stella calm and reassuring but she was very gentle and caring throughout the process. She communicated each step which helped calm my nerves a lot. She was so detail oriented and meticulous, I felt so at ease with her. I felt zero pain or discomfort. I can’t believe I was so nervous about something that wasn’t bad at all! I’m so glad I went through with this and if you’re nervous about the pain like I was, don’t be! You are in great hands with Dr. Stella! I am so grateful for her!
I am so impressed with Stellar Orthodontics! Dr. Stella is such a compassionate, knowledgable and caring doctor. Her front office assistants, LeeAna and Maigen are so welcoming and kind and her assistant, Jaira, is amazing! I'm so happy to have found her office and would definitely recommend them for all your orthodontic needs!
Very professional, very clear communications, super upbeat and a luxury experience.
I went in to have some lingual braces done after my previous braces didnt really fix a lot of issues and my retainer was done improperly. It was honestly a really great experience. The dental office is clean and everyone is extremely nice. My teeth turned out great and she really listened to everything I wanted. I seriously recommend getting your braces here especially if you want the inner braces nobody can see.
I had a wonderful experience throughout my treatment. Dr. Stella and her staff are amazing. She always listened to my concerns and made my treatment easy and comfortable as possible. I am very happy with the results and I am very glad to have found Dr. Stella. I’m very grateful to her and all her staff 🙂
Dr. Dong was amazing. She took the time to listen to my concerns and questions; then connected it all back after a full evaluation. Left no doubt about using her for my ortho treatment.
I was very impressed with Stellar Orthodontics. From the moment you walk in you are welcomed warmly and you know you’re in a high quality place. I was actually referred by my Myo Functional therapist to learn about more solutions for my sleep apnea. The scan they did was very helpful for understanding what was happening with my airways. Not only that but Dr. Stella really took the time to explain the scan and what options they have. Overall I was very impressed with my visit!
My daughter had her consultation yesterday and it was an amazing experience. Everything was explained to us so well and over all was just a great visit. We feel so blessed to have found Dr. Stella.
We had a great experience at our consultation for both our young boys at this office. The level of care and hospitality was unmatched!
Kind staff and doc. Knowledgeable.
My six-year-old daughter just got upper and lower palate expanders installed And it has been a great experience so far. From initial consultation to install, it took three different appointments over the span of two weeks, and all appointments were fairly short in length. I have felt informed and supported every step of the way so far. I definitely recommend this practice!
Loved our consultation with Dr.Stella! Beautiful office , very educational and kid friendly staff . Definitely recommend
Super friendly and professional. Dr Dong is very knowledgeable and friendly.
Me and my daughter both had consultations. The office was very beautiful and clean. The staff was amazing and very warm. I love the knowledge of not just normal braces but the overall airway. This stands out from other offices! I am so happy we found your office! Thanks again!
I would highly recommend Dr Stellar Othodontics. Very professional and amazing! Thank you so much xoxo
They always help me with my teeth and are very helpful would definitely recommend to go here
Professional, thorough, informative, and very kind. Wonderful from start to finish.
My child is currently a patient at Stellar Orthodontist. The staff is very pleasant and friendly in person and by phone. Whenever I call due address any issue or concern I speak with Taylor who is awesome. She takes her time explaining and responding to any questions or concerns that I may have. Her calm tone, kindness and overall demeanor is very settling.
I’ve only been here for a consult but I was extremely impressed! The office is beautiful, and both the staff and Dr. Stella were so kind. I’m hoping to not need Dr. Stella’s services for myself, but in case I do, I know I will be in the best hands! I will also keep Stellar Orthodontics in mind for my kids as they get older.
My daughter had her consultation with Dr. Stella today and I can't say enough good things! She explained everything so we could understand it, wasn't pushy with treatment at all, and the office is so nice! I'm so glad we found Dr. Stella!
Amazing orthodontist office and friendly staff. Dr Stella is very kind and thorough with her consultations. We loved our visit, especially my children!
