Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Horrible. All about MONEY. Half of the technicians are trained adequately and new faces all the time. My braces were never installed correctly and the dr approved off on them. I was sent a dismissal letter to have my braces removed while still having spaces. I went and got a 2nd opinion from two separate Orthodontists and they both basically said the same thing. My teeth are in bad shape and it’s due to the lack of quality that Dr. Behl and his staff provided. Please seek another dr before making your final decision with this place.

My daughter and I love the staff at the Hampton office. The young lady name Stephanie was so friendly and took good care of my daughter. She had to get her bottom braces fixed today and Stephanie was great. Thank you.

The customer service at Behl Orthodontics is excellent and it seems everyone must love coming to work immensely. The treatment received so far has shown that Dr Behl is very knowledgeable and passionate. Highly recommended.

Dr Behl and his team deserves all accolades. They are the best when it comes to customer service and treatment care. When I got my Invisalign aligners, Dr Behl spent all the time in the world to explain the procedure. He even called me personally to check up. Orthodontic assitant Ms Hamel is really great and she even signed me up for Dental Monitoring.

Don't be fooled by the positive reviews on here. My invisalign treatment should have completed over a year ago but it's not because Dr. Behl and his staff messed up my teeth. There is maybe one technician that I trust and that's it. I have also witness Dr. Behl treating his staff poorly a couple times and it made me feel so uncomfortable. If you're considering ortho care, please go somewhere else!!!

I have been a patient of Dr. Behl's for about 15 months. I have never been happier with my smile. I get compliments everyday on how great my teeth look. Give them a call, he is amazing!

Where to begin...When I first made the appt to have a consult for braces, we never saw the doctor. They took an xray and sent in a pre-authorization the the insurance company (all about money), but never met Dr. Behl until the day braces started (& at my insistence). They have several office so making an appt can be impossible. Not enough roomhere to list all the problems in this practice. After being a patient there for several months now, I would never choose them again.

The staff at this office leave much to be desired, the techs were more interested in the new shoes that one of them had gotten, than assisting the patients. I was getting impressions for retainers and was trying to let the tech know that the metal was cutting into my gum but she blatantly ignored me to talk about shoes. I will never go back to this office. Please look elsewhere. They might be cheaper than some of the other orthodontists in the area, but you truly get what you pay for.

I have been a patient at Dr Behl's office for several months now. The staff is very friendly. I appreciate the way Dr Behl and his staff speak directly to my son. His treatment was explained completely and they always update me on his progress. Having several offices also make scheduling appointments very convenient. Great place to get braces.

If you like unorganized and crowded offices, this is for you. It was loud and very uncomfortable. I felt like I was at Social Services Offices or the DMV. NEVER NEVER AGAIN!
