The absolute best staff I couldโ€™ve asked for. Since day one, I walked into Dr.Alatsisโ€™s office and was informed of all of my procedures / options in the most informative / friendliest manner possible. After 18 months of orthodontic care, my braces were removed, and I am more than satisfied with the results. Itโ€™s been an absolute pleasure working with the Gig Harbor Orthodontics (GHO) team every step of the way. I would highly recommend / encourage anyone thatโ€™s considering the idea of overall general orthodontic care to give GHO an opportunity to take care of your smile.

I had an excellent experience at Gig Harbor Orthodontics! My daughter had braces years ago with them so it was my go-to when this 50 something adult wanted Invisalign! It was a smooth process, they were detail oriented and always friendly! Super happy with my new smile. I highly recommend them. Thank you!

I canโ€™t recommend Dr. Patra and her practice enough! From our first consultation to my daughterโ€™s last appointment getting her braces off, we always felt welcome and well taken care of. Dr. Patra and her entire staff are kind, patient and thorough. Wait times were minimal and the office was always impeccable. My daughterโ€™s new smile is absolutely beautiful and when it comes time for my other children to need braces we know where weโ€™ll go. Highly recommend!

As an adult with braces, it was challenging to give up certain foods. I never thought I would really get braces, but I can say that I am beyond happy with the outcome. Not eating kettle cooked chips (not to mention raw carrots) for twenty three or so months was worth the wait! The vibes of all the qveens here made coming here for my visits enjoyable each time! Who run the worlddd? Love their new location in Proctor! I was the first one to get my braces off there =^.^=
