"Amazing experience! I took my daughter in for a consult to begin braces, our tc Hannah was amazing, she was so nice and willing to help in making sure our payments were right where we felt comfortable, she walked us through everything and answered all our questions. Dr. Davis was just as amazing she was extremely informative with the process of braces and was very observant in my daughter's face structure when recommending which teeth need to be extracted. Definitely recommend this place if your looking to get braces started."

"We have completely treatment with one kid. We currently have 1 more in treatment and one more starting soon. Braces aren’t like they used to be. He offers several different types of braces. My youngest sucked her thumb until she was 6 so she started at 9 and now in a “break” while her adult teeth comes in. My oldest had a massive gap. But not anymore. Everyone is nice. It runs pretty quickly there is only a few times we had to wait over 10 minutes. I really don’t have any complaints."

"Madison is a 2nd generation who just visited Dr. Farina today! Her dad sat in his chair at the old office in Tampa years ago! She was so excited to get her braces. When we left she said the office was so nice and the staff was amazing. She really enjoyed the tablets to play games before going in the back, and I couldn’t agree more! Thank you for such a wonderful visit and we can’t wait to go through this journey with you all! 💕"

"I recently had braces for about 2 and a half years. I started and ended my orthodontic experience with Fatima Orthidontics. They are really nice and friendly. The Orthodontists make good conversation and don’t make you feel uncomfortable. My favorite part was how i got to choose the color on my braces, it wasn’t picked by them. I highly recommend farina to anyone who needs their teeth fixed! 😊"

"Both of my kids have braces and we have always had great experiences with Drs. Rudy and Farina and their staff. Recently my daughter was scheduled for an MRI and we were told at the last minute it couldn't be done with her braces on. I called the office and they got us in immediately to remove her braces so that she could return for the test the same day. It was an exceptionally good experience on a very stressful day. (Her results were normal!!) I highly recommend Farina Orthodontics!"

"As ALWAYS the service is as good as it gets! Sofia recently required braces per Dr. Farina AND had oral surgery performed by Dr. Andres Guerra; he did a terrific job! He is highly qualified, professional, accommodating, courteous, pleasant and smiling at every opportunity. Dr. Guerra answered ALL questions in concise, clear and understandable terms; he did not rush through answers or limit questions; a GREAT addition to the already SUPERIOR Farina Orthodontics practice!I HIGHLY recommend Farina Orthodontics to anyone who is interested in EXCEPTIONAL Orthodontics and a staff that is equally as high-caliber!!!"

"I was 12 when I started my FIRST complicated, orthodontic treatment due to crowding & an overbite. After 2 years of wearing the traditional, unsightly, uncomfortable, orthodontic wires & brackets & a night time head gear, the results were impressive for awhile. However, my teeth began to shift & were no longer straight. After 50+ years, I decided to have my complex orthodontic issues addressed AGAIN. This time, the evolution of orthodontics enabled me to opt for an Invisalign® treatment, which utilized custom aligners. Over the course of a year, my teeth gently & gradually shifted into proper place. My teeth-straightening process ended w/high tech x-rays that encircled my head & took cutting edge pictures of my teeth & mouth. To preserve the exceptional results of my once again straight teeth, retention treatment consists of a removable upper retainer & a discreet, fixed lower retainer. I am grateful for the evolution of orthodontics for many reasons! One, I removed the clear trays when I wanted. Two, there were NO food restrictions. I ate whatever foods I enjoyed. Three, I enjoyed virtually invisible teeth-straightening. Four, I brushed & flossed my teeth normally & maintained healthy periodontal tissue. Five, the evolution of orthodontics allowed for treatment while traveling. When I advised the office I was traveling, they provided me w/extra trays... during the course of my Invisalign® treatment, I traveled 17K miles through 15 states. Finally, my smile w/STRAIGHT, ALIGNED teeth increased my face value, my positive self-image, & my confidence. I once again have that 'million dollar' smile. In summary, I am extremely pleased & wholeheartedly want to express my appreciation...THANK YOU Dr. Farina & kudos to your office staff @ the Amberly office. I can honestly say w/conviction, my state-of-the-art orthodontic treatment was much more effective & enjoyable than the previous rudimentary regimen!"
