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.

I started coming here in 2016. I had no complaints about my time with Dr. Montanaro. I am so insanely happy with the results. It is crazy to see the before and after pictures. Every error was fixed in my smile and overbite. There is no only orthodontist that could have fixed my teeth to be as nice as they are after.

Dr. Montanaro was a good doctor, and was patient with me during my experience. I was with him for 2.5 years and my teeth turned out great.

Dr. Montanaro has done orthodontics for myself, my brothers, and my mom. I had braces as a teenager and years later I am still very happy with the results. He corrected my smile in the best way, and changed my life by giving me confidence! If I ever have a concern about my teeth I call Dr. Montanaro and he is always extremely helpful. I highly recommend him for any orthodontic needs.

Dr. Montanaro has been our family orthodontist for many years. I live in London and have continued to use Dr. M for my dental care and needs. Dr. M and his staff are flexible in meeting my needs and has been incredibly accommodating - as my availability is quite limited when I visit CT. I have been to the Bridgeport, Westport and New Canaan offices - all are inviting and makes me feel at home. The staff are friendly, caring, attentive, and makes me feel welcomed.

Dr. Montanaro has been my family's orthodontist for years. He has great attention for detail and is truly dedicated to ensuring you will have a Hollywood smile. How do I know? I live in Los Angeles so we know all about Hollywood smiles. And yes, we come to CT for our visits because Dr. Montanaro works with our schedule and always makes time for us. And the office staff - top notch. The Bridgeport office is beautifully decorated and has a spa like feel.

My son needed braces at an early age. I looked online and saw that he had great reviews and decided to give him a shot. No regrets! He has done a fantastic job making my son's smile beautiful! There was a huge gap between his two front teeth and I was just amazed how nicely the gap closed and how straight his teeth are. I highly recommend his service to anyone in the Fairfield and Naugatuck Valley county.

Dr. Montanaro is the best! He has been my primary orthodontist for years and gave my brother and me both amazing smiles! Post-braces, when my retainers eventually cracked after years of use, he was able to see me for an appointment right away and had brand new retainers ready for me within two days. He is very skilled at what he does, kind and caring, and gives honest advice based on what is best for each individual patient. Several of my close friends and family members have all gotten dental work through Dr. Montanaro and are very happy with their smiles. I highly recommend getting your dental work done through Dr. Montanaro!

Dr. Montanaro is the most patient orthodontist I know with my teenage son who had difficulty maintaining his braces. The end result was nothing shy of perfection. I would highly recommend Dr. Montanaro to anyone seeking for a compassionate orthodontist who clearly explains every step of the process.
