I love Dr. Kuperstein! She has amazing bedside manner, and I've enjoyed talking to every other employee in the office. Their finance coordinator was so nice and helped too. I was in so much pain before I started my treatment, and the pain relief has been so immense it literally makes me weepy thinking about my life before coming here. Thank you Parkside!

Dr. Kuperstein and the entire team at Parkside Orthodontics have been great! They took the time to understand my child's needs and created a great treatment plan. They monitored my child's progress carefully and made all adjustments. They answered all our questions and took great care with the entire process. I highly recommend Dr. Kuperstein and her staff!

I had an amazing experience at Parkside and would recommend this practice to anyone. I had Invisalign braces for 2.5 years and Dr. Kuperstein and her staff kept me well informed throughout the process and during each visit. I was also pleased and impressed with the way they handled treatments and appointments in regards to covid, it was very professional and again I felt well informed. I am thrilled with the results from my Invisalign. Dr. Kuperstein and family reside in the same neighborhood as well which I felt translated into an extra commitment to great service. It was a fantastic investment in myself and a great place to do it.

Such a friendly staff - Dr. Kupperstein and her team have helped ease my 7yo's fear of getting orthodontia treatment at such a young age. Also very impressed with their practices around pronouns, welcoming LGBTQ families, and gender-neutral patient care. Thank you!

Great customer service from our first inquiry to our first braces appt. Each team member has been clear in communications, thorough with follow up and able to answer all our questions. I appreciate they speak directly to our 8 year old about what they'll be doing, setting her expectations of the experience and listen to her questions.
