So glad my dental hygienist friend referred me to this place. I needed to redo my Invisalign after a decade to prep for my wedding. No hidden fees, everything is explained in full detail. Very professional. The building is exceptionally clean. Staff are super friendly. Dr Schabel made the whole experience a breeze and worked with my special request with no issues. My teeth have never looked better and it didn’t hurt the pockets.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your experience with Dr. Schabel and our team exceeded your expectations. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, and enjoy your beautiful smile!

Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words, Dave! We're delighted to hear that our team could quickly assist your kids. Your recommendation means a lot to us. Enjoy the rest of your vacation!
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!!

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!
The Hiit Club R.
North Coast office in Scott’s Valley is absolutely gorgeous. It doesn’t just stop with the office aesthetics, the staff is equally as gorgeous, professional and super welcoming. My 4yr old Grandson and I were immediately at ease. Greeted with friendly smiles and taken on a tour. I was asked if I needed anything or had any questions before being escorted to my chair in the clinic area. Everything was explained thoroughly throughout treatment by the assistant Jade. She is amazing in her explanations and her technique as she worked gently and quickly. I must admit I was nervous before coming in and even questioning if I made the right decision in starting this journey. All my fears have been put to rest. I am excited to tears and so happy I chose North Coast orthodontics to take this journey with. Thank you Jade, Doctor Schabel . Also I’m incredibly grateful for the entire staff who entertained my grandson throughout the treatment. Melanie at the front desk handled finances and gave me clear information and explained all my options. My Grandson even go t to meet Dr Schabel . I know he will also have great memories here. So if ever in the future he should need some help with his teeth. We will be forever customers! Highly recommended!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted that you and your grandson felt comfortable and welcomed. Jade and our team are committed to providing exceptional care, and we look forward to supporting you both on this journey!
