Dr. Lee was recommended to me by two friends who had used him for getting Invisaline to straighten their teeth. I wish I hadn’t waited so long! Dr. Lee definitely knows his stuff:) The staff is also very kind and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Lee and don’t wait as long as I did!

Dr. Lee and his staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They are always positive and helpful. I’m in my 50th and after getting some dental work done including implants I end up with misaligned teeth and jaw. It is not an easy fix but Dr. Lee is working very patiently with me to fix the problem. I am experiencing big improvement each and every month.
I am happy to continue the 5-Star streak for Dr. Lee and his staff. Dr. Lee was recommended by my Dentist, who takes her kids to him for their orthodontic work. The fact that a fellow Dentist trusts Dr. Lee’s judgment over other competition, was enough assurance for me that he is the best. My son went from having an expander to now braces, and I have seen his teeth move beautifully without needing any teeth pulled. We love Thousand Oaks Orthodontics and are happy to have found them.
Great great experience. The team is super helpful and sweet and Dr.Lee pays great attention to detail. Very very very happy with their team.
