“My Smile Doctor team is amazing! I did not start out my braces journey with the San Pedro office but I am so glad that I get to end it with them. Big shout out to Dr. Tayem! He has been an incredible orthodontist, he’s very respectful and explains in detail your treatment plan. Jordan, Jocelyn, and Gloria are all amazing members of the Smile team. They take such great care of me and my teeth and I’ve come to consider them as friends. The front desk staff are always welcoming with a warm smile. I recommend Smile Doctors to anyone who would listen.”
