My kids both love Dr. Bruno and her staff. My daughter was born with cleft lip and palate and I'm always comforted by Dr. Bruno's knowledge, approach and patience with all of my questions. I've been especially impressed with her response to COVID-19. She thinks outside the box to make sure her patients have the support and care they need during this strange new time.

Dr. Bruno and her team are fantastic! I had the pleasure to work with Liz and I am so pleased with my results. Dr. Bruno and her team are extremely thorough and kind at every visit. I've had Invisalign for the last 10 months and cannot thank Dr. Bruno and her dedicated team enough for a more confident smile!

Jill and her team are fantastic and I would highly recommend them to anyone. We have had 3 children as patients of Dr Bruno and all receive compliments on their "perfect smile". Dr Bruno are highly competent and have great manner with the kids, they make the process as comfortable as possible. The office staff is also great, and special shout out to Irene who assists with the insurance paperwork - she helped us and I was able to get the insurance to cover a portion of the expenses without any fighting with the insurance company - that alone is a miracle. Thanks to Irene for the help, and thanks to Dr Bruno and the entire staff for a great job on all three kids.

It was only my first visit, but after seeing many orthodontists, Dr. Bruno was confident in creating a convenient treatment plan for me. She was very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. The office's atmosphere was very nice as well. Barbara was also very helpful and kind. Overall, this was an excellent visit.

Dr. Bruno is the best! She has taken care of all 3 of our kids, including 2 rounds of braces for 2 of the kids who had a lot of problems. Her team's service is unsurpassed. They are super friendly and so great about working us in when we have our inevitable lost or broken retainers. And they are efficient with the appointments - no long wait times. Wish all doctors were as respectful of our time as Dr. Bruno is!

Dr. Bruno and her staff are AMAZING. They are dedicated professionals and it shows in every aspect of your visit from the moment you walk through the door. My son absolutely LOVES Dr. Bruno and her staff. They are all so friendly and passionate about what they do. We highly recommend anyone in need of an orthodontist to check out Bruno Orthodontics. You will be so glad you did!

Dr. Bruno and her team have been really helpful and great while treating me. They have been very efficient and have expandered, braced, and retainered me in a very short time. They are really kind and funny and get to know you better than you might think. There's even a Braces Off song that you might get to know during your time with these amazing people!

I've been seeing Dr. Bruno for over three years and I have always been pleased with her care. I had a slight overbite and my teeth were pretty crooked, but after I had braces for approximately 14 months, all of the problems were corrected. While she may bill you more than other orthodontists would, I think it's definitely worth it because the level of attention and care you get from her and the other workers is amazing.
When I had my braces, I would sometimes lose a bracket or have part of the wire poke me continuously in my mouth. All I had to do was call the office and they could usually fit me in in the next 24 hours. Two weeks after I had gotten my braces off and gotten my permanent bottom retainer out in, I bit into an apple and felt part of my retainer become detached. I quickly texted the number on the website and one of the orthodontists/workers walked me through what to do.

The place is a bit of a factory. They move you through largely with a bunch of techs doing the work and don't stick with the timelines originally discussed, not do they explain why they are changing treatment plans when they change them. My 15 year old kid finally got his braces off after a couple of cycles and several years.and they glued a couple of wires behind his teeth and said they should stay there until he is 30. What the fuck is that? One of the damn wires came off after a couple of weeks. Not impressed

I am officially the fourth member of my family to be treated by Dr. Bruno and I couldn't be more pleased! My sister was one of her very first patients and we always highly recommend her! Phenomenal doesn't even begin to cover how great she is as an orthodontist. She is extremely knowledgeable, super caring and exceedingly meticulous. I really do look forward to every visit.
Her team is also incredible, especially Estella who always educates me on what they're fixing/moving around, etc. at any given appointment. I really cannot speak any higher of Dr. Bruno and her wonderful practice!

My almost 10 yr old daughter has been a patient of Dr. Bruno's for the past 2 years. Her incredible staff has made each and every office visit and experience as pleasant as possible--including a palate expander placement, then braces, and finally a permanent retainer! The office is gorgeous, modern, and open. I find ALL of the staff to be super approachable and highly professional. My daughter enjoys her visits here--and that speaks volumes, right? No tears or worries, just a smile that keeps getting better and better thanks to Dr. Bruno :-.

I am extremely disappointed. Dr Bruno is patronizing and completely disregarded my request for the specifications of my retainer. I was also informed of other options that I had to getting the retainer after I had ALREADY PAID 1000$ to get one fitted. She also told me I needed braces again, big shocker that it was another year of ridiculously expensive braces that were "totally necessary"! Naturally I passed up the scam and I will not be returning to Dr Bruno.

My son saw Dr. Bruno over a period of 18 months and got his braces off last month. He had only one set of braces. My son is what I would consider a somewhat difficult patient. He has special needs and, although he has a very loving personality, he has a great deal of anxiety with any type of procedure. We have these issues with his pediatric dentist and we also saw them with Dr. Bruno and her staff.
They were wonderful with him. Dr. Bruno took as much time as necessary to calm his fears before taking any action. She also adjusted her plans to fit the situation and tried having different staff members work with him until she found the perfect fit. He got to know and love all of the staff members, who were extremely kind and patient with him. Monica was especially wonderful with him and ended up working with him over three appointments until we were able to find retainers that would work for his particular needs.
With regard to scheduling, the staff went out of their way to find appointments that worked for our schedule. The bottom line is that my son ended up with beautiful teeth, Dr. Bruno and her staff were very responsive to all of my concerns during the process, the amount charged was comparable to the amount charged by the orthodontist that I saw for my adult braces, and my son had such a good time that he continues to ask when he can go back for a visit.

I wasn't happy with my current orthodontic work and came here for a consult. It ran $95, but man, it's worth it when you've paid $$ for braces in the first place. After my visit I was sorry I didn't discover this place earlier. My teeth would have been straight, braces off a long time ago. office and staff: The office is bright, airy, clean and new.
The rooms are the opposite of the typical confined and stuffy dental/orthodontic rooms I've encountered in the past.in fact, they seem a bit on the huge side, but I think that's partially the expansive windows and layout plan. Good vibes. My consult room actually had a view of the city. The staff were more than courteous--they were downright pleasant.
The consult and Dr. Jill Bruno: Somebody mentioned thorough consult--this included an efficient picture taking session by a competent assistant and a thorough explanation by Dr. Bruno as to what brackets she uses, etc. I would, unfortunately, have to start over because she does self litigating brackets without bands (something I don't have). BUT with my high gloss 8X10 that included 8 pics of my bite and teeth from all angles, she explained exactly what my current orthodontist could do to straighten out the part she initially insisted on filing (to make it 'appear' straighter). Essentially, Dr. Bruno gave me the tools I needed to solve my problem. She never tried to sell me on anything but was upfront, honest and friendly. Again, wish I had discovered this place earlier.

Jill and her staff are always friendly, professional, and eager to make your visit a pleasant one. We have a couple of patients in our family (child AND adult!) and recommend Jill highly. She gives a thorough consultation and offers several options. When problems arise like a broken bracket or loose wire, her staff is quick to get you in to fix it.
My children especially enjoy the ongoing promotions that make visits fun -- the candy buy-back at Halloween, a water bottle giveaway in the summer, and the annual ice skating party is always a huge hit. Not only is Jill fun and wonderful to work with, she is very skilled at her practice; we have the beautiful smiles to prove it! I couldn't recommend her more highly!
