I had a great experience at Surf City Smiles in Huntington Beach. The office is clean, modern, and has a really welcoming vibe from the moment you walk in. The front desk staff was friendly and efficient, and I didn’t feel rushed at any point. Taylor went above and beyond for me. She was phenomenal and supportive with me during my entire visit. She's the shining star of the clinic.
I used Surf City Smiles for my braces and I had the best experience! Not only was the doctor super nice and helpful but all of the staff were delightful. If you’re looking for a place to do any orthodontic work, Surf City is definitely the way to go!
Awesome time, Chuck was great! Amazing service and made me feel super comfortable and loved my smile after treatment! Would recommend to anybody in the area for sure.
