We are thrilled to share that in 2025, three of our San Francisco-area clinics were honored in the prestigious Best of Bay Area Parent awards!
This recognition highlights our dedication to clinical excellence, patient comfort, and community engagement.
Join us as we celebrate our Gold, Silver, and Bronze award-winning offices and delve into what makes these accolades so meaningful for families in the Bay Area.
What are the Best of Bay Area Parent Awards?
The Best of Bay Area Parent awards (hosted annually by Bay Area Parent magazine) spotlight top local businesses and professionals who serve families with outstanding quality, innovation, and service.
Parents and caregivers across the Bay Area vote in dozens of categories, ranging from education and entertainment to health care.
Orthodontists are among the most sought-after winners, reflecting the high priority families place on healthy, confident smiles for their children and themselves.
These awards are community-driven: nominations come from readers, followed by public voting. Winners represent the very best in their fields, as judged by those who know them best: local families.
For orthodontic practices, earning a spot on this list underscores not only clinical expertise but also an office environment that’s welcoming, friendly, and kid-approved.
