We had the best experience at HalfMoon Ortho! The staff’s genuine care for their patients was evident in their attentiveness, compassion, and kindness. We also received exceptional, highly skilled medical care throughout the entire process. We recommend HalfMoon Ortho without reservation and are truly grateful for the outstanding care we received.

Absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end! Dr. Mody was knowledgeable, helpful and very personable. The ladies setting up my appointments and starting off some of my sessions were so cool and friendly - truly made me feel welcome and like part of the family. I strongly recommend this business to anyone looking for ortho work!

Dr. Mody is terrific, highly recommended if you need Orthodontic work. He does a great job with letting you know how long the work will take, what it will cost and just making you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. My Invisalign process took about 17 months and I couldn't be happier with the final result.
