Dr. Lau, Lacy and the entire staff at San Carlos Orthodontics are beyond amazing. I completed a three year treatment plan with Dr. Lau: the results were perfect and the experience was somehow joyful and pleasant?! Yes, they can make you look forward to having braces! Throughout the three years, I never had to wait for my appointment! They are so punctual and efficient with scheduling; perfect for an adult like me going through braces. Any questions I had were always answered clearly and I was well informed on the treatment/progress. Everyone is so friendly and kind, I was in good hands and well taken care of. I highly recommend this office for your orthodontic needs :) My only complaint is that now my treatment is over so I don't get to visit!

Dr. Lau and his team are fabulous! Professional and friendly. I have been working with Dr. Lau for 2 years on my orthodontic treatment. I am very satisfied with my result. I highly recommend Dr. Lau and his team!

Not too long ago, I found out my son would be needing braces through his dentist. After having consultations with several orthodontists, I decided to go with Dr. Lau. And I am SO glad I did! Not only is Dr. Lau super professional and skilled, he is also very friendly, courteous, and patient. Dr. Lau took the time to explain the entire procedure to me and answered any questions that I had. I never felt pressured into starting treatment after our initial visit. And let's not forget about Dr. Lau's staff! Every single person that works in his office is lovely. It feels like I'm chatting with girlfriends when we talk! They are all so welcoming and accommodating. If I ever needed to change an appointment, the front desk was on it and made the appointment work to fit around my schedule. I asked my son what he thought about his experience with Dr. Lau and his staff, now that his treatment is completed. He told me he really liked going to his appointments because everyone was always so friendly and nice to him, especially Dr. Lau. He would ask my son about his day, what's going on with school, sports, plans for the weekend, etc. And he would also explain what he or his assistant would be doing before starting with the appointment, which really helped put my son at ease. If you're looking for an orthodontist, I would really recommend visiting Dr. Lau's office. We are so pleased with the results!

This is a long overdue review for Dr. Lau and his fabulous team. My wife Xing was a patient with Dr Lau for almost 2 years. She is very satisfied with the result. Every time we visited, Dr Lau and the team explained in details about the progress. The automatic appointment reminder and check-in system is very convenient and thoughtful. Throughout the entire process, Dr Lau kept very clear communication with our dentist Eddy on coordinating the Invisalign adjustment toward making space for the tooth implant. We highly recommend Dr Lau to anyone who is looking for a caring and professional team. Best regards from Xing and Mike.

Dr. Lau and his staff were all very friendly and treatment progressed smoothly despite the covid restrictions. I chose to do Invisalign instead of traditional braces so the treatment was more expensive but Ann and Dr Lau accommodated us with a good financial plan. My checkups were thorough and relaxing as I conversed with the staff on how things are with the braces or school and such. Very happy with my excellent experience with San Carlos Orthodontics and loving my improved smile !

Amazing Dentist, took good care of me for 5 years before I left for the military. Really appreciate everything him and his team did, from the reminders to the reschedules when I was busy. If you want someone who knows his job extremely well Gary is the guy.

My daughter got braces at San Carlos orthodontics. Her teeth look amazing! Dr. Lau and staff are one of a kind. I highly recommend them to anyone looking into orthodontic work. They not only do great work, they make you feel at home. Thanks again Dr. Lau and staff you are the best!!
more Tony D.
As a child, I had gone through wearing braces and eventually a retainer. Then as I progressed throughout adulthood, I stopped wearing the retainer. My teeth started getting crooked, so I consulted with Dr. Lau. I have been very satisfied with the orthodontic care he has provided. He is personable, attentive, and willing to educate me when I ask questions. Many thanks!

I have had a great experience at San Carlos Orthodontics. Their customer care is excellent. Dr. Lau and his staff are friendly and knowledgeable and clearly care about their customers. They have gone above and beyond to accommodate my schedule. Dr Lau listened to all of my concerns and developed a care plan to match my goals. The office is nicely designed and I have never had a long wait time to be seen. Five stars!

I was a patient at San Carlos Orthopedics for my Invisalign treatment. My experience from the moment I walked into the office for the first time till the final checkup a couple of days ago has been excellent. Dr Lau and his entire team are incredibly professional, attentive, friendly, and accommodating. Appointments were always smooth and on time, I never felt rushed. The office is meticulously clean and organized. I am really happy with the results of the treatment, my teeth look great! I highly recommend Dr. Lau and his practice!
more Phillip L.
I went to Dr. Lau after my former orthodontist towards the end of my invisalign treatment went out of business and left me with no instructions on how to go about my treatment. From the outset, I knew Dr. Law was a pro, and he laid out my options for the remainder of my treatment. He was caring and thorough, and I felt taken care of (much different than what I had experienced at my former orthodontist's office). Thank you, Dr. Lau!
more Anthony W.
I had an absolutely amazing experience at San Carlos orthodontics. From a practical standpoint I got my teeth straightened and looking good, despite having started with some fairly large problems. Everyone is extremely helpful and supportive throughout the process and even years later I am glad to go back and chat with the amazing friendly staff when I get my retainer checked. Highly recommend:)

I am so excited I just started inbraces ortho treatment (braces behind the teeth). Dr. Lau and his staff are all so friendly and professional. They make you feel welcome and do a great job. I can't recommend them enough! This is the perfect time while we are all wearing masks to get ortho work. My husband is doing Invisalign with Dr. Lau and is really enjoying the process too.

Dr Lau and his team are not only very professional but also very nice. They make you feel confortable, my kids liked to go at his office.

We hope to find the same service where we are moving, but I have some doubts!

I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Dr. Lau and his team. The front desk staff and technicians are super friendly, and Dr. Lau is hands-down one of the best doctors I've ever worked with. He took his time to always answer any questions I had, explain treatment thoroughly, and never left me guessing or unclear about any elements of my treatment. I'm so happy with the results of my Invisalign treatment, and even more grateful I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Lau and the team! Thank you all.

Dr. Lau is the best orthodontist. He is very gentle, friendly and extremely nice. He must be a great leader and role model for his staff because everyone in the office is nice like him. Appointments are always on time. Love the yummy, warm, delicious cookies I get after my visits, too. I ended up taking off my braces 1 year earlier than scheduled, how awesome is that.

Dr. Lau is an excellent orthodontist. He has been treating three of us (two kids and 1 adult) and we've all seen dramatic improvements. He is a perfectionist, which is exactly what I want in an orthodontist. He and his team are also kind, courteous, patient and flexible. They have gone above and beyond to take precautions for the health and safety of their patients and of their own staff as they reopen their office.

Dr. Lau transformed my teeth so quickly! He is truly a perfectionist when it comes to your teeth and will always go the extra mile to make sure you are happy with your smile.

Dr. Lau and the team at San Carlo Orthodontics were amazing to work with and I would highly recommend them for orthodontic care on the Peninsula. I had never had braces growing up but as my teeth continued to shift around in adulthood, I decided to get Invisalign. Dr. Lau did a great job explaining the proposed treatment plan and really made me feel at ease about the process. Everything went as Dr. Lau envisioned and I couldn't be happier with the results. I'm now the proud owner of straight teeth, a better bite and an overall great smile! Thanks Dr. Lau and team!
more Dương T.
I cant say how grateful I am to dr. Lau and his team. They did a excellent job straightening my teeth and fixing overbite part and I am really satified with my teeth right now. Even though I just had a limited time in the US, dr. Lau tried his best to give me the best result and I really appreciate his effort and also his patience and care. Besides, staff there are really friendly, welcoming and helpful. I always felt comfortable coming there for my appointments.
more Jeff W.
I can't say enough about Dr. Lau's wonderful office. I'm a physician myself and I asked my most trusted colleague whom I should see about initiating the process for aligners. Despite having local orthodontists closer to me, my colleague recommended that I visit Dr. Lau's office for care. I couldn't be happier. The office is gorgeous, the staff are outstanding, and the care is absolutely top notch. Thank you Lacy and Desiree for going above and beyond to accommodate my appointment and for your kindness and expertise throughout the process. I am beyond impressed and pleased with my experience at this office. Fantastic from start to finish!

Dr. Lau and his team are terrific. I just finished my Invisalign treatment. Thanks to them my teeth look great and are ready to chomp! They answered all my questions, were very patient with me along the way, and were able to work around my always changing job schedule. They made it easy. I highly recommend Invisalign for adult patients. It's super convenient and the time goes by fast. All you have to do is wear the trays and not too many hours off. Wish I did it sooner, but glad I signed up with Dr Lau. He gave great advice!

They have fair price and a very good staff who handles insurance well. I highly recommend this place.

Dr. Lau and his team are exemplars for excellent customer service and patient care. From the moment you are greeted by the front desk team to the caring bedside manner of the back office staff and Dr. Lau himself, you are in good hands. My child is somewhat of a worry wort and they do a great job minimizing her anxiety. I reached out to the office one late afternoon to get a doctors note for the next morning, they made it a point to get this to me before day's end. Five star service in my opinion!

From the second you walk through the door you are always greeted and made welcome. Scheduling appointments was easy and convenient with my daughters school schedule. Dr. Lau's approach was much more conservative than other offices I had been to in the past for consultations. He was thorough and explained everything that was happening through the entire process.

I had braces when I was a teenager. But my teeth got crowded again. So I got braces again, and that was the best decision I have ever taken. Dr. Lau and his team are extremely friendly and helpful. They will answer any question you have and help you throughout the entire process. They always think for your best. Dr. Lau suggested the treatment plan best suited for me and after 2 year and half years I have straight teeth and the beautiful smile I always wanted. I am very very happy with my results. If you are looking for an orthodontist for your kids and for yourself as an adult, this is the place you want to go to.

I just finished my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Lau. I had an excellent experience. Nothing to complain about whatsoever. His staff was extremely friendly, Dr. Lau always took the time to answer my questions and explain the next step in the treatment, and Ann took care of all of the billing stuff promptly and diligently. My teeth look great, I am very happy with how it turned out. And the time it took was shorter than what Dr. Lau originally said, so that was a bonus. Under promise over deliver! Highly recommend Dr. Lau and his team!
more Patricia C.
Dr Lau has taken care of orthodontics for two of my kids. One kid had quite a few complications with missing adult teeth. When we took her to the oral surgeon, he raved how Dr Lau did a textbook perfect job with her orthodontics. He and his staff are also super nice and accommodating. They are always focused on making the experience as pleasant as possible for the kids.
more Gary N.
Dr. Gary Lau is amazing! When we were referred to him, I didn’t expect the level of service that we received from him, Ann, and the rest of his office. Gary and his staff are all so good with both of my girls, so much so that they look forward to seeing him in the office. His involvement in the community is also unparalleled with the many different outreaches that he does for teachers and his patients. If you want an Orthodontist for your children, or even yourself, you’ve found him right here at San Carlos Orthodontics.
more Jason B.
After a month after my treatment was completed, I am still amazed and happy with the results. Dr. Lau and his team was amazing throughout my treatment. At the beginning, I was unsure whether braces were the right decision due to my age. However, after the first consultation and talking with Dr. Lau, I decided to go through it. I enjoyed the fact Dr. Lau was involved in all my appointments and answered any concerns or questions I had. He explains every step of the way, so you know exactly what is going on. His staff is just as great. They make sure to acknowledge you as you step in or out of the office and provide snacks and drinks as you wait. At the end, I was able to finish my treatment earlier and as soon as the braces were of, I was really satisfied with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Lau as an orthodontist.
more Jess G.
Good on the basics, and good on the extras. Solid care, nice people, good coffee and cookies, and convenient appointment reminders. Totally fair pricing as well. There are few things cooler than needing braces in your thirties, and despite being surrounded by kids in middle school when I went in, it was still a solid experience. I had a couple teeth that needed to be maneuvered to prevent gum loss, and it worked out really well. If you're looking for your kids, this is the place. If you're looking for yourself, it's also the place. Also, as an added bonus, the amount of time they told me it would take was the amount of time it actually took, in terms of having braces. That's uncommon in Orthodontics. Dr Lau is great, and if you're looking for a quality practitioner, look no further. You've found them.
more Patty B.
We had such a fabulous experience with Dr. Lau and his team. My daughter's smile is beautiful, quite hard to imagine when she began her treatment with a severe overbite and crowding. The little things really do matter to kids. She felt like she was in control as soon as she walked in and did the "self check-in" and then happily headed to the sink to brush her teeth. These little things really matter to kids! Dr. Lau is kind, explains everything clearly and has such a gentle demeanor. As a working mom, I really appreciated that appointments began and ended on schedule. Finally, ending each visit with a chocolate chip cookie helped seal the deal for my daughter!
more Sherry M.
Great place, great atmosphere and great staff. I have twins that both needed braces. The first place I went wanted to start both of my children at the same time. The staff didn't make me feel confident in their work and the price for both was outrageous. I was referred to Dr. Lau and he and his staff was amazing and welcoming. He didn't want to start my daughter until all her adult teeth came in. This is something that the other office did not inform me about. It also helped me financially as well. 2yrs later both my children is out of braces with a beautiful smile going into high school. Thank you Dr. Lau and your staff for such a wonderful job on my kiddos.

I was referred to Dr. Lau by my dentist when my lower teeth started to shift out of place. I had my reservations about seeing an orthodontist after wearing some sort of braces-like apparatus many years ago as a teenager. I could tell that this would be a different experience though after meeting Dr. Lau and his team. They explained all the options with invisalign upfront, including the cost and payment options. It didn't take long to notice the invisalign trays working and Dr. Lau and his team closely monitored my progress. In only about 6 months, my teeth were back in line! I'm wearing a retainer now at night and I still check-in periodically with Dr. Lau. I would definitely recommend Dr. Lau and his team if you're looking for an orthodontist, even if you're an adult like me.
more Lily C.
I couldn't be any more happy with the results of my orthodontic treatment. Dr. Lau, Ann, Marni, Lacy and Anna are just an amazing team to be around. At every visit, they're always happy to greet me and remember everything that I've talked to them about the previous time they saw me (which is usually 4 to 6 weeks prior). Dr. Lau was open and honest with my treatment and how long it would take. The entire process himself and his team have been very open and patient with answering my questions. Thank you so much San Carlos Orthodontics for taking care of me! I'm SO happy with my final result :)

Overall A+ experience, highly recommended! -Efficient and super clean office -Professional and friendly Dr. and staff -Kid friendly I just had my old retainer replaced by Dr. Lau at San Carlos Orthodontics and the experience could not have been better. My new retainers fit perfectly and it was due to Dr. Lau's attention to detail. I originally had a wire on my top teeth removed by a different office. Dr. Lau noticed there was some residual glue left over and removed it before scanning my teeth for my retainer. He constantly made sure I was comfortable and addressed any questions or concerns I had. His office staff was also willing to work with me to see if my insurance would cover a part of the cost. They also did their best to accommodate my work schedule in setting up an appointment on a Saturday. The office is very clean and inviting. They also have a self check-in tablet available. Dr. Lau and his staff are very friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.
more Chloe L.
I literally made a Yelp account just so I could give San Carlos Orthodontics five stars. Dr. Lau and his team readily took on the challenge of my weird missing bottom tooth which left me with a misaligned overbite, even after enduring three years of not-quite-effective braces with a different orthodontist. Dr. Lau is so thorough and genuinely caring that he took it upon himself to re-open my case and develop a new plan full of innovative ideas to arrive at a permanent solution. Although I was not pleased at the thought of getting my braces back on during my senior year of high school, he and the other staff members like Ann were constantly personable and reassuring, which made the experience as painless as possible. They always took the time to explain every minor adjustment to me, and made a point to check in about my life as I started my first few years of college. On top of that, their flexible weekend hours made it easy for me to find appointments that fit my schedule as a full-time student living an hour away. I can truly say that I feel as if I grew up in this office, and I highly encourage anyone who is considering getting braces or Invisalign to go in for a consultation!
more Deanna A.
Dr. Lau and everyone in this office is absolutely amazing. We started with a consultation and my daughter has been a patient since! They are very clear in discussing the decisions for the treatment process and are flexible with their time. Their friendliness has encouraged my daughter to like having braces! I trust them completely and have recommended so many people, each of who feels the same way as I do. If you are in search of an orthodontist, San Carlos Orthodontics is the place you should go!

Dr. Lau is a caring, highly competent orthodontist. His staff is organized and welcoming. He goes above and beyond his work and cares for the community. At my son's recent visit, I told him I was helping organize a collection of school supplies for the children displaced by the recent Camp Fires. He straight away offered to donate some supplies he had. He came out of the back with an overflowing box of markers and crayons. Then he wheeled them to our car and helped load them up. Thank you Dr. Lau for your compassion.

I have the worst teeth of anyone in my family. Mouth too small, too many teeth; overcrowded and underdeveloped mouth that I thought was unfixable. San Carlos Orthodontics is magic in a muggle world, where no matter how long it takes, no matter what crazy process needs to be done, you will be safe and sound in their hands. I went there for 7 years to fix my teeth, and I still go back now is to have them check out my retainers, or for a friendly hello, as I got to know them all well over my years of coming. Simple check in process, they explain everything that needs to be done, and you're out in a jiffy with apple juice and a cookie in hand. I highly recommend if your child needs any form of braces, retainer, or invisalign; they'll fix you right up :) couldn't have asked for a better orthodontist
more Kris P.
The entire team at San Carlos Orthodontics is fantastic. I have two boys who have been patients for awhile now, and the front office is extremely helpful. Not only are they helpful and patient with appointment setting, they also are great about striking up conversations with my teens and keeping them engaged while they are waiting in the lobby. The assistants and also Dr. Lau are also excellent and caring and they make the kids feel at ease. I also appreciate the level of communication they provide after each appointment. We'll continue to be patients for years to come, and I'll continue to refer others!

If you live in the Peninsula and are looking for an orthodontist who you can trust, go see Dr. Lau at San Carlos Orthodontics. You can always count on seeing Dr. Lau when you go in for an appointment. He listens, is friendly, and is super gentle when working on your teeth. His office is really new and clean and welcoming - a large TV with a children’s movie playing and also internet kiosks - and always fresh baked cookies. He also works some Saturdays which is great it’s hard for you to take time off during the weekdays. The first time I went into Dr. Lau’s office for a retainer consultation, I had an inflammation on my gums. Though I didn’t think much of it (though it hurt), Dr. Lau looked at it and said that I should get it checked out immediately by a periodontist. He then personally called several of his contacts in the area to see who could see me the soonest possible. It turned out I had an infection from a wisdom tooth, where the bacteria that was eating away at my bones! While removing my wisdom tooth, the periodontist suggested I also remove the next molar out because the roots were no longer rooted into the bone (that had been eaten up by the bacteria). I wanted to keep as many of my real teeth of course, but was unsure which option was better. When my periodontist asked Dr. Lau for his opinion, he said I should to keep it as I remove it if it becomes necessary in the future. I’m so glad he said that because my tooth is still fine and intact 2 years later! Finally when my mouth healed from the surgery, I went back to Dr. Lau’s office to make a retainer and I’ve been really happy with my retainer and adjustments since then. I'm so glad I found Dr. Lau because I know that he will take great care of me and my teeth!
more Irene L.
I've been wanting to get my teeth straightened out for the past few years since my wisdom teeth shifted all my teeth around so I finally asked around and was referred to Dr. Lau's office. I'm extremely glad because he and his team are very knowledgeable about what needs to be done. I got Invisalign for both my top and bottom teeth and after a little less than a year, my teeth were straight again! During the whole process, Dr. Lau and his team were very professional and constantly kept me updated with how my teeth would be moved and things I need to pay attention to. In the end, I got retainers to wear at night to help keep my teeth from moving. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
more FERYAL C.
We love Dr. Lau and his staff. He is very patient with my kids and never gets tired of answering thousands of questions I ask as a parent. The staff is very friendly and comforting to the kids as well. My kids are 7 and 9 and have to wear retainers. They cannot wait for their next appointment to visit Dr. Lau. The office is set up to accommodate and entertain kids of all ages. Not only is Dr. Lau a great orthodontist, he is also great supporter of the community that he is serving. We really enjoy attending his many events and participating in his competitions. In short, I highly recommend Dr. Lau.

My daughter was extremely nervous about getting her braces and everyone from the front to the back did an amazing at making her feel comfortable. I'm glad we chose to go to an orthodontist over getting braces at her regular dentist office. Dr. Lau was thorough in his recommendations on her treatment plan. He took his time to explain everything. The financial specialist gave several payment options. I appreciated that she made the process so easy and was so sweet. I can't say enough great things about the entire place. I'm so glad we chose them!!

We love Dr. Lau and his staff. He is very patient with my kids and never gets tired of answering thousands of questions I ask as a parent. The staff is very friendly and comforting to the kids as well. My kids are 7 and 9 and have to wear retainers. They cannot wait for their next appointment to visit Dr. Lau. The office is set up to accommodate and entertain kids of all ages. Not only is Dr. Lau a great orthodontist, he is also great supporter of the community that he is serving. We really enjoy attending his many events and participating in his competitions. In short, I highly recommend Dr. Lau.

I can't say enough about the staff and Dr LauI'm very particular about customer serviceSitting in the lobby waiting for my turn I happened to notice how incredibly professional the receptionist was not only to each person that entered, but her phone skills were amazingly professional and courteous. Dr Lau never seems to stop smiling and for someone like me that gets incredibly anxious about dental visits or having people touch me, it was a very painless and easy visit as he made me completely comfortable. Literally everyone is so professional, friendly and amazing and those are qualities not often found these days it seems.Definitely Dr Lau and his staff are an amazing group that provide top quality service and careThank you!!

Dr. Lao is the best ortho ever!! I am 24 and needed to get retainers to shift my teeth around. He was totally understanding of my concerns and made me feel comfortable the whole time. I have a phobia of dentistry in general and he was super careful and walked me through every process. His office is SO COOL! The staff is incredible--truly the nicest people ever. GO HERE!

I never had braces as a kid, and as I got older, straight teeth became a bigger deal to me. By the time I went to Dr. Lau, I was already well into adulthood. During my initial consultation, he informed me about the pros and cons of traditional braces versus Invisalign and what results I could expect from each. I decided to go with traditional braces. Dr. Lau said that I would probably have to wear braces for 18 to 24 months. By month 17, the braces were off! Dr. Lau was able to straighten my teeth in less time than we had anticipated, and with the results that I had wanted. He's always professional, friendly, caring, and honest. I highly recommend him to anyone! Tip: brush and floss religiously, always wear your rubber bands as Dr. Lau instructs, and never miss an appointment.

If you live in the Peninsula and are looking for an orthodontist who you can trust, go see Dr. Lau at San Carlos Orthodontics. You can always count on seeing Dr. Lau when you go in for an appointment. He listens, is friendly, and is super gentle when working on your teeth. His office is really new and clean and welcoming - a large TV with a children’s movie playing and also internet kiosks - and always fresh baked cookies. He also works some Saturdays which is great it’s hard for you to take time off during the weekdays. The first time I went into Dr. Lau’s office for a retainer consultation, I had an inflammation on my gums. Though I didn’t think much of it (though it hurt), Dr. Lau looked at it and said that I should get it checked out immediately by a periodontist. He then personally called several of his contacts in the area to see who could see me the soonest possible. It turned out I had an infection from a wisdom tooth, where the bacteria that was eating away at my bones! While removing my wisdom tooth, the periodontist suggested I also remove the next molar out because the roots were no longer rooted into the bone (that had been eaten up by the bacteria). I wanted to keep as many of my real teeth of course, but was unsure which option was better. When my periodontist asked Dr. Lau for his opinion, he said I should to keep it as I remove it if it becomes necessary in the future. I’m so glad he said that because my tooth is still fine and intact 2 years later! Finally when my mouth healed from the surgery, I went back to Dr. Lau’s office to make a retainer and I’ve been really happy with my retainer and adjustments since then. I'm so glad I found Dr. Lau because I know that he will take great care of me and my teeth!

I visited Dr. Gary Lau's office when accompanying my niece for her consultation. I was impressed with the office reception, as the staff was warm and on point, with cookies and drinks laid out, and game kiosks available for my younger niece to play on while she waited for her older sister to finish her appointment. I secretly came along because I wanted to get Invisalign for myself, so I wanted to check out Dr. Lau, his staff, and the office. During my niece's consultation, Dr. Lau clearly explained his approach for the braces. Seeing the pictures and images on the computer screen from the scans he took gave certainty on what really needs to be done for her treatment.I made an appointment for myself shortly after. Here I am, ready to spend thousands on Invisalign, and Dr. Lau says I don't need it! I must admit, that I know my teeth are already straight, but I'm a perfectionist. Dr. Lau did notice signs that I may be biting down too hard during my sleep, which can result in tension headaches, which I did have! He recommended a night guard as a possible aid in relieving my migraines and tension headaches so I went ahead and got the molding done. Dr. Lau is very technical and has soft hands when working. He explained what he was doing as he was doing it. No wonder, my niece felt so comfortable and relaxed during her treatment. Surprisingly, the night guard did relieve the headaches! I must applaud Dr. Lau. It's not often you come across a straight shooter that actually takes the time to really listen and see what's really going on. On top of that, have the ability to provide a solution that works! If you're a parent looking for an orthodontist for your child, go to Dr. Lau. My niece absolutely loves it. If you're an adult looking for straighter teeth, go to Dr. Lau. We all know what a million-dollar smile can do for one's confidence. Having experienced treatment from Dr. Lau, I would give him the highest recommendation. He is a board-certified orthodontist that has all of the state of the art technology, provides comfortable treatment, has a great staff, and most importantly to me, has rare honesty. It really shows why he is ranked the #1 Orthodontist in San Carlos.

Dr Lau and his team are truly the best in the bay area. I am an older patient that represented some special challenges and he was always kind, creative, up to speed on the latest technology and techniques to get my teeth straight. I can't say enough about the team and their ability to work with you, fit you into the tight schedule when you break part of the brace etc. Also, they are just great people to be around, always upbeat, fun and engaging. I highly recommend him and his team!

Dr. Lau is awesome. My oldest needed braces, and it was going to be a long process as her mouth is small and her teeth have no space to grow out. But Dr. Lau explained everything, and made me feel good about the entire process. He is so friendly, and truly has the right touch with kids. Unfortunately, my younger child will need braces too when the time comes. But at least Dr. Lau will be there to help. He and his staff are very thorough, they take the time to listen, and take into consideration all of our concerns with the treatment plan. Definitely all of the things that I look for in a care provider.

Highly recommend! I went to Dr Lau with interest in getting Invisalign. Dr Lau took the time to thoroughly explain the timing and details of the full process. He also encouraged me to ask questions and had the patience to answer them all, which helped to set my expectations and to understand the pros + cons. I proceeded to get Invisalign through Dr Lau, and have felt taken care of throughout the process. Dr Lau was very gentle with application, ensuring that I was OK throughout each step. He has made it very easy for me to maintain at home by giving me all necessary materials and explanations, all while making it known that he is available to help with any other questions. I am thankful that I am in such good hands with Dr Lau, and highly recommend him for any orthodontic services!

I brought both my kids (15 year old son and 13 year old daughter) with Dr. Lau because of his great reviews. I had a good feeling in the office from day one. Once I learned the total cost for the braces for both the kids, I was a little hesitant as it was going to be a great investment, I then quickly learned that they had an affordable payment plan that allowed me to do both kids at the same time. Dr. Lau and his staff explained the procedure and informed me the aprox amount of time each of the kids needed with the braces to achieve the goal that we wanted. It's been 2.5 years now, both my kids have had their braces removed, and they look spectacular. My kids cannot believe their teeth look so amazing. I am really happy with the results they achieve and the professionalism they received during the entire time of treatment. Their smiles are worth every dime I invested in them. Thank you Dr. Lau and to all his wonderful staff for the work they put into my kids smile.

Dr Gary Lau and his very friendly staff were a joy and a breath of fresh air to due business with. Being an older patient (64) I was hesitant to the procedure at first.

For those thinking I'm too old, reconsider, every time I look in the mirror, I'm so glad I did.Try it, the results speak for themselves! Thanks Dr Gary, your my Hero!

San Carlos Orthodontics is by far the best Orthodontics in the Peninsula. The overall environment of the office is friendly and very gentle when handling your teeth. As a kid I was always scared of so many items in my mouth, since my dentist never told me what was going on. However, Dr Lau tells you what is going to happen while he works on your teeth or even before he starts. For me it took about 2 years to get my teeth straightened and I have to say I never noticed what a beautiful smile I have. Thank you again Dr Lau and Staff for the wonderful set of teeth you helped me accomplish. :))

"I am so impressed with Dr. Lau and his staff. I have had excellent care with Dr. Lau, and he is very thorough. He takes the time to make sure all my questions are answered and that I am comfortable with my braces, before I leave the office. I have my three children in his care - and even with a small drive to his office from where we live - it's worth it! Free parking - clean and inviting office, a fridge filled with drinks for the kids - plus freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and a place to do homework - it's perfect! All around - Dr. Lau's office is completely comfortable. From the setting to the dental assistants - I have no complaints. In fact - because of the complete confidence in the office and people working there - I ended up getting braces myself - at 47 years old! I couldn't be happier. Dr. Lau has a gift for making patients feel welcome and at ease -while doing the BEST job making your teeth straight and perfect! I recommend Dr. Lau 100%! We have been to other offices - and this is by far the best!

Dr. Lau made me a new retainer after my old one broke after 15 years. He made the process painless and easy.Throughout the process, when taking my impressions and fitting my retainer, he was patient and showed a lot of care. He consistently asked me whether I was comfortable or if I had questions. I appreciated that he spent time talking to me about my options and made sure I was comfortable with my choices. In the end I went with a clear tray upper retainer and an acrylic and wire retainer for my lower teeth. The fun part was getting to choose the color of my lower retainer - I went with the gold sparkles and it came out better than I imagined. Now I am excited when I get to wear my retainer! Overall, it is very apparent that Dr. Lau cares and has his patients best interests in mind and I would recommend him as an orthodontist. Other notes:- Super clean office- Very friendly staff- Kid friendly

He spent hours explaining all options, with much patience, detailing all pros and cons, and helping us come to the decision that's right for our son. He's not aggressive and over-treating like most other orthodontists we encountered. We feel very confident to have our sons future teeth conditions in his hands. Wonderful office people too.

The best way to start your year is to take care of yourself and your teeth. So when my dentist told me I was grinding and clenching my teeth at night and needed a retainer I wasn't too happy about this. Luckily I was recommended to Dr. Lau at San Carlos Orthodonitics and he took care of me. He is extremely gentle and was very informative on what he planned for my teeth. I received my new night guard retainer quickly and had a follow up to make sure it fit well and everything has been amazing since!
