I was interested in Invisalign, Dr. Z answered all my questions and after 18 or so months I couldn’t be happier with the results!! The office was always clean and the staff always very friendly. Dr. Z genuinely cared about my happiness and overall results, it can be tricky to coordinate timing on everything as I also had two veneers installed by my dentist at the end of my Invisalign but Dr. Z was always supportive of ensuring if I needed anything else he was there for me. He was very easy to work with when it came to payment terms and using my FSA and HSA. Thank you Dr. Z!
I can’t say enough good things about Ziehmer Orthodontics! The office is beautiful, full of natural light, and just has a really calm, welcoming vibe. They even have an iPad in the waiting area where you can order any Starbucks drink you want while you wait, which is such a cool touch. They also offer a private room if you prefer a more private consult, which I really appreciated.
The staff is always so friendly and helpful, and Dr. Z is genuinely the best. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, explains everything clearly, and is so kind throughout the whole process. As an adult going through orthodontics, I’ve felt completely comfortable and confident in his care. I have consulted with multiple orthodontists and it’s a no-brainer going with him!
I’m so glad I chose this office and I recommend Dr. Z to anyone considering braces or aligners!
Dr. Ziehmer and his staff are wonderful! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming and the office is always spotless. I have two daughters currently under Dr. Z’s care and we couldn’t be happier. We highly recommend if you are looking for quality orthodontic care!
We’ve had three family members see Dr. Ziehmer, and every experience has been excellent. He is professional, detail-oriented, and someone we fully trust with our orthodontic needs. The quality of care he and his team provide is outstanding—they are always welcoming, attentive, and thorough. The office runs smoothly, and the results speak for themselves. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Dr. Ziehmer and his staff!
Our experience with Dr. Ziehmer has been exceptional!!! The office is beautiful and welcoming.
My daughter loves him and feels very comfortable going in. She has an expander and he’s made the experience seamless! I’m very happy with how much change he’s created in a short amount of time!
Highly recommend!
Dr. Ziehmer and his staff are outstanding. We visited numerous ortho offices and spoke with several specialists in an effort to find the absolute best dentist to treat our kids. The range of recommendations from other ortho docs was varied and quite expensive. Dr. Ziehmer went through an incredibly thorough exam and presentation with us and told us what he thought was going to happen with both children. He made conservative recommendations and, one year later, his predictions were 100% accurate. Not only will he be treating our kids but he is treating several other family members. Don’t waste any time like I did interviewing other docs – if you get a chance to work with Dr. Ziehmer, seize the opportunity. He truly cares about what he does and he is very good at it!
Absolutely great doctor. Very genuine and gives the time needed for each patient. Best atmosphere for making you feel comfortable during treatment. I highly suggest to visit Dr Ziehmers Scottsdale office and see for yourself that this is the premier orthodontist office in Scottsdale.
Dr. Ziehmer is the best orthodontist in town! He’s great at explaining the treatment plan and his attention to detail is unmatched. I’m absolutely recommending him to my friends and family. Thanks Dr. Z!
