I love Dr Yamada. She has treated both of my kids with amazing results. I have always been seen on time, the staff is amazing. They always follow up to see how my kids are. The final results are really what I cared about and they were excellent. Love Dr Y and her staff.

Dr. Yamada and all staff were so friendly and helpful from the first day we went in for the consultation for our daughter's braces to the day they came off. They made sure the teeth were perfect and they were excellent in the follow-up and making sure the teeth stayed perfect. There was some discomfort of course (teeth have to move!), but we were pleasantly surprised that it wasn't bad at all. They offered several choices of the kind of braces, which gave us a choice of price that we wanted to pay. They had the latest technology for everything and we were very impressed with how exacting they were in all they did. Our daughter had two missing permanent teeth and they perfectly lined up the teeth and the roots of the teeth so that implants will be able to be put in easily. The office staff was so easy to deal with. They dealt with the insurance company for us and when we needed to do something for insurance, they told us how to do it and it was so helpful and made all the difference. The hygienists were so cheerful and careful. They were like family. The whole office staff was like family. Going to see them was a pleasure. We highly recommend Dr. Yamada and her team!

I highly recommend Buena Vista Orthodontics. Dr. Merilynn Yamada and staff are competent, knowledgeable, considerate and very friendly. To be in a comfortable environment and not be stressed is an integral part of a successful treatment plan, especially one that is lengthy. My treatment plan was "unique" in that my situation was more difficult than the usual patient's. I required screws on the roof of my mouth as well as on the sides of my jaw. The doctor and staff had to work extra hard on me as there was a lot of ingenious wiring involved. One thing that I found fascinating is that all of the technicians take turns, whomever is available takes the next patient. That proves the efficiency, teamwork and competence of the entire staff, all are equally proficient and knowledgeable. Everyone there, including the front desk and office staff made it a very pleasant experience for me. My treatment lasted approximately 4 years and 2 months. Considering all of the extensive work needed to be done on my behalf, everyone worked on me without hesitation. It was painful at times, no doubt about that, but they constantly checked on me and were considerate of that. I had an overall positive experience and am very happy with the end result!!!!!!

She repeatedly chose to do the opposite of what was originally decided for my treatment. For instance: from the very beginning I was to recevie implants and she decided we were just going to take off the braces and get bridges. I had to constantly tell her that was NOT what I wanted or what was in my file for the original plan. SHe would also 'play dumb' EVERY time I would go in there and ask " So what are we doing again? Who is doing your implants? What is your dentist's name"? It was beyond upsetting and frustrating. If she was that adamant to no longer treat me she should have refunded my money and let me leave. By delaying and wallowing and blocking the process I was unable to have my braces off for my wedding AND I still have them on today when I am just about to give birth because we have now gone an extra year more than I was told it would take. I would NEVER recommend Dr. Yamada. DoNOT waste your time.

Very inconsiderate and rude orthodontist. Makes patients wait over an hour for her many times. Impatient and irritable and doesn't apoligize for hurting patients. Very expensive with poor results.
