North Coast and Dr. Schabel have been fantastic helping us navigate through a long process of braces and Invisalign with our two children. We highly recommend and thank them for all their help. The results and smiles are fantastic!

Brooke S.
I had wavered most of my life about whether I should spend the money to fix the spaces in my teeth. I have to say, it was worth every penny—and the time flew by. If you’re on the fence, I highly recommend taking the leap and investing in yourself and your smile. This office is phenomenal, and I’m so thankful for the care they took with my smile. I am forever grateful.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you found value in your investment and appreciated our team's care. Your smile transformation is our priority, and we’re grateful for your trust!

We had a great experience with NorthCoast Orthodontics! Highly recommended. We had 2 kids with Invisalign and 2 different experiences of ensuring they are using them appropriately. Overall, we are very happy with Invisalign and NorthCoast!

Tiffany C.
North coast orthodontist is so personable and professional. They were very efficient and timely. There’s also a beautiful setting while you’re getting your teeth worked on, overlooking a very pretty garden. I would recommend them, plus the price was right compared to others.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Tiffany! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our personable service and beautiful setting. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to seeing you again!
Alivia S.
I got invisalign at 28, after having braces when I was younger and not keeping up with my retainer. Took consistency on my part, but the office, techs, and doctors were helpful and even changed my plan around when I had to move out of town unexpectedly! Highly recommend as an adult
Response from the owner:Thank you, Alivia! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us. Wishing you continued success on your orthodontic journey!
Amanda R.
We have had such a good experience with North Coast. I would recommend them to anyone. They were very understanding every time I had to call and make an emergency appointment to get my daughter Savannah in because something happened with her braces. Everyone there was so amazing. I was a patient of Dr. Schabel years ago when I first got braces and he was just as great then as he is now. Dr.Chan is also amazing.

Thank you to the whole North Coast Orthodontics team!!

-Amanda Curtis
Response from the owner:Thank you, Amanda, for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experiences with our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to continuing to provide exceptional care for Savannah!
Raina T.
We have been extremely pleased with our experience at North Coast Orthodontics. They explained things clearly and always made time for any adjustments needed with our daughter’s retainer and braces. We definitely recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Raina! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to continuing to support your daughter's orthodontic journey!
Aileen F.
Definitely the best, super friendly ! Really enjoyed my treatment with North Coast no one else I’d rather go with for Invisalign. Always a pleasure
Response from the owner:Thank you Aileen , we hope you are enjoying your treatment ! We have so much fun at your appointments.- Team North Coast Orthodontics
Lisa P.
I had an amazing experience with North Coast Orthodontics. Dr. Schabel's excellent communication skills made all the difference in my treatment. He took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I understood what we were doing and why. The entire team is extremely skilled, friendly, and their professional communication and follow-through made the experience seamless.

What truly sets the group apart is how much they stand by their work. Even after my treatment was officially completed, they saw me for minor adjustments and answered all my questions with the same level of care and communication as on day one. That kind of dedication is rare and truly appreciated. I highly recommend Dr. Schabel to anyone looking for an outstanding orthodontist.
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for your kind words Lisa. You were a delight every step of the way!
J H.
The staff was very friendly and efficient. Drs. Schabel and Chan are very knowledgeable and developed an amazing treatment plan. Our daughter had great results and we will bring all our children here for treatment.
Response from the owner:Your daughter was an amazing patient. We're all very proud of how she navigated Invisalign at such a young age. Simply beautiful smile, and a great yound lady. Awesome job mom and dad!
