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!

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!

Alexsis N.

I’ve been a patient at North Coast Orthodontics since 2017, and I can honestly say that the team is the best around. I initially came in for some major dental work, and Dr. Schabel always went above and beyond to make the process as seamless as possible. Now, I’m back again for Invisalign, and I’m equally impressed with Dr. Chan and the entire staff. They’re incredibly attentive, not only to my dental needs but also to ensuring I feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. I truly appreciate the care and dedication of both Dr. Schabel, Dr. Chan, and their amazing staff. I couldn’t be more thankful for the outstanding service and the results they’ve helped me achieve!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Alexsis! We are thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive experience with both Dr. Schabel and Dr. Chan, as well as our entire team. Your appreciation for our dedication to your comfort and dental needs means a lot to us. We're grateful for your trust since 2017 and look forward to continuing to support you on your orthodontic journey!

Hands down the best in town. Started in 3rd grade and done before 8th. Perfect smile. The Drs and staff and 100% the best. Very professional and kind. I recommend going here for braces and not even bother looking anywhere else. The level of care can not be beaten. Thank you to all the staff at North Coast!!

Heather Thompson S.

North Coast is the best of the best. Dr. Schabel and Dr. Chan are very friendly and professional. They know what they’re doing! I had braces with a different orthodontist and the results weren’t good. I went to North Coast for help and their work transformed my smile. My teeth are perfectly straight and they did an incredible job with my 2 sons also. We are now a family of beautiful smiles. Thank you!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Heather! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Schabel and Dr. Chan. It's fantastic to know that you and your sons are enjoying beautiful smiles now. Your kind words motivate us to continue providing the best care for our patients!

Fantastic staff who are caring and thoughtful. Played out options and let the patient be the decision maker. Such a good experience and a wonderful outcome.

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We are honored to serve each and every one of our patients! - Team NCO

Amy Kapp P.

We chose North Coast for our child's orthodontic treatment after being impressed with the demeanor, experience, and education of husband-wife team Drs. Schnabel and Chan, and we weren't disappointed. They were able to correct his bite well in less time than they originally predicted, even with some extra revisions at the end, and kept him comfortable the whole way. Their entire staff is thoughtful and competent, too. I'd definitely go back if anyone if my family needs ortho again!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! We do everything in our power to make scheduling, completing, and following up on patient appointments as seamless as possible. -Team NCO

David F.

My 16 year old nephew was visiting from India and he had a problem with his braces digging into his cheek.
I called the office and explained my situation to Danielle who spoke with a manager and asked if we could come in. We were there in about 15 minutes and were greeted with such friendly staff in a very impressive reception area.
My nephew was taken back shortly after and his wire was adjusted so it no longer cut into his cheek. He was also given some wax to use if he had any issues while traveling.
I work in a clinical setting here in Santa Cruz and I was so impressed with the staff at this practice. Very professional, very friendly and caring.
My sister in law and her husband were so overwhelmed with the care they showed their son. It made me proud that they felt this way.
If any of the patients in my clinic ever ask for a good orthodontist I will happily recommend North Coast Orthodontics.

Response from the owner:We are so happy we could represent Santa Cruz in a positive way, and most importantly take care of your nephew and make him comfortable during his visit. Thanks for the review of your brief but meaningful experience with our office. - Team North Coast Orthodontics
