Super friendly staff, clean and welcoming environment. Kind and efficient team. Megan explained treatment and process so well during our consultation. I was referred to them by our Pediatric dentist and I am so happy with his choice.

From the first steps of making an appointment to walking in the door at my first visit, I was completely impressed and knew I was in good hands with everyone on the team here. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly, and I was given efficient and thorough information by Dr Moranda. Then Megan was great explaining the financial matters so I could make a decision about my oral care. No beating around the bush or wasting time - never rushed or made to wait, and never pressured. I definitely recommend Dr. Moranda and the happy and professional clan at Schantz and Moranda Orthodontic Care.

Very professional and friendly staff. One of the best and most knowledgeable orthodontists in the Coachella valley. Dr. Moranda has great bedside manners and my 12 year old was very much at ease with the complete examination. Very well organized office and most importantly great dental work performed.

Dr. Schantz and Moranda's office is amazing. They always make us feel welcome. Their priority it safety and also comfort. Thank you for the amazing care you provide to my children! The office staff are the best!

I had adult Invisalign and braces with Dr. Hawkins and Dr. Moranda. From the beginning they were kind, honest, respectful, encouraging. Not usually a fun experience being an adult with braces, but I have to say they sure made it a great one. It went smoothly the entire time, with regular visits included in the cost, a convenient payment plan provided, and each and every one of the hygienists and office staff are so kind and friendly and warm.

They treated me as a friend, not just another patient. I have nothing but good things to say about them. I would recommend them to everyone who's looking for great orthodontists and who want the best results in the end. Are they the most inexpensive in the desert? No. Are they worth the fair price they charge for the care given throughout & the quality of your results in the end? Absolutely. Even their after-care is so great. I love my smile now, and my bite is finally balanced again. Keep up the amazing work Dr.s and staff! So thankful for you all

The staff there are super friendly and very kind. The assistant that helps me with my ortho is super sweet and kind I love and appreciate her and everyone else for helping. This office is a great place and comfortable place to be at as well. Great job to everyone there! :
