Patient Testimonials

We Love Making People Smile

Hear what our patients have to say about their experience with us!

My 10 yr old son is a patient and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Dr. Gidaly communicates with kids well and helped us with the apprehension of the process. He was able to put... my son’s concerns to rest and explained what all to expect. His staff is all wonderful too! I highly recommend Dr. Gidaly and his office.read more

Aaron M.

Dr. Gidaly and his staff have been excellent with both of my daughters. He is also 100% responsive to after-hours questions/concerns (which is always when things go wrong) which is so... deeply appreciated when you're trying to support your child. Sign on and all will be well!read more

Karen & Dr. Gidaly were friendly, and accommodating for our consultation. Karen is very personable, which makes you immediately feel at home. Dr. Gidaly sat down with us, explained my son’s... X-rays and treatment plan in simple, understandable terms. I felt like a real person, not just a number (which is the opposite of how I felt at our previous orthodontist office with my older two kids). Will definitely recommend him to all our family and friends moving forward!!read more

Update! Treatment complete!!!Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!Zammitti and his staff are THE orthodontic practice of the Charlotte area. I would say in the state or even the U.S. Dr. Z's... expertise and knowledge is what you would want from a dental professional. The way he and his staff treat their patients should be the goal of all dental practices, regardless of if it is orthodontic or general dentistry practices. While his level of education & experience could be intimidating, the way he speaks with his patience to explain options as well as the way he interacts with his staff is anything but. He truly makes you feel as though you have a voice in your treatment, rather than using arrogant scare tactics, which I have commonly experienced in the dental profession. If you have the slightest concern or insecurity about your smile, there is absolutely no other practice to consider. I am 110% satisfied with the results!!! From my initial consultation all the way to the end of my treatment, this practice has been phenomenal. It is common & almost expected to go to an appointment & wait well beyond your scheduled appointment time before you're seen. I've never had to wait to be seen. I've had huge anxiety about visiting dentists in the past due to previous experiences. There is something about Dr. Zammitti & his staff that provides comfort & calmness. They make you feel as though they literally know you as a person yet they focus on what they are doing at the same time so you are done & out the door asap. Rather than having time to sit and wait & get anxious.It's a seamless operation he has going on in his office. This is THE orthodontic practice! Definitely a 5 star office!WOW! Just WOW! Absolutely detest dental work due to previous experiences at a dentist's offices being so traumatic & the judgement I feel at the practices I've been a patient at. Not to mention, the use of what I feel are scare tactics or at least come across that way. Therefore, I was definitely nervous about my initial ortho consultation with Dr. Zammitti...dreading the possibility of hearing all the things that are wrong & ugly about my teeth along with the pressure of having to have everything "fixed". My experience couldn't have been any further from that. I couldn't have asked for a better experience from the moment I walked in & met my treatment coordinator to the moment I left & everything in between. My treatment coordinator respected my "dental anxiety" & couldn't have done her job any better. Dr. Zammitti is hilarious to me, I'm not sure why but I find him very funny....and BRILLIANT! Like super BRILLIANT! He actually sat down at a desk with me to talk!!!! He explained things in normal human language that made sense. He didn't try to boast how intelligent he is or the endless list of credentials by throwing out tons of medical terminology that could be intimidating & cause someone to become overwhelmed. I didn't feel judged or criticized. I felt like his approach was more of "this is what I can do to make your smile perfect" rather than "you need to do this or all these bad things are going to happen". Everything was clear & I felt like I had a choice. My treatment coordinator explained the financials, which also made me feel like I had options. Because of my initial experience,I chose to follow Dr. Zammitti's suggestions toget braces. Dr. Zammitti & the assistant, Nathalie,were both very gentle putting braces on...BUT they also worked quickly which was crucial for me....yet I felt like if I had needed a break at any point,they would have been completely fine with it.l & wouldn't have grown impatient. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this practice!!!! If you want your smile to be as flawlessas possible ....GO HERE!!!read more

I loved the service of ms.Coco Bean and zamitti. They were very inviting, accommodating, and informative to what work needed to be done. After going through smile direct, and that being a... dud, this reminds me of the orthodontists that took care of me back in New york when I first had gotten braces at 14 years old.read more

I’m currently a client here & I’ve never had any issues. I’ve recently told my mom about this orthodontist due to my sister needing a better one! Absolutely LOVE my orthodontist & staff... especially Coco she’s very nice and knowledgeable. Definitely answered all the questions my family had. I also appreciated all the jokes to help get rid of the nerves my sister had as she’s now a new client herself.Coco also took the time to get to know my sister and my mom which felt more like family rather than just a client. My sister had her 1st consult and she and my mom left feeling confident and happy about her new orthodontist. Dr. Zimmitti is the absolute BEST at keeping you updated and making sure his clients understand what’s going on and what needs to be done. Every time I go for a monthly visit everyone is so pleasant. Thank you to the entire team I really appreciate you, and thank you for my beautiful smile.read more
