Amazing staff and with professional care advice!!
I’m about five months into my treatment with Dr. Doppel and have nothing but great things to say! As my orthodontist, she has such a calming and caring energy and always makes time for questions and discussion. After three different orthodontic consultations, she was the doctor I felt most comfortable and confident with. Her office staff is extremely responsive via email and phone, and I’ve always been able to get in quickly if I’ve had an urgent concern. They rock! Emilio is the orthodontic assistant I’ve seen for most of my adjustments, and he is great. Patient, kind, and always explains what he’s doing. I feel very confident in his work, and Dr. Doppel always checks in, reviews my progress, and spends time with me at each appointment. I was dreading braces at 38 years old, but I actually look forward to my appointments. So happy I chose this office!
Im very happy with the Invisalign treatment I received from Dr. Doppel and her staff. This office is in a great location. There is street parking or a parking garage right outside. The office is always clean/fresh and all the staff are very professional and friendly. Makes you feel right at home. I would highly recommend this place to my family and friends and anyone who needs braces or Invisalign.
The Staff are polite and kind and very concerned about your health. Dr. D is constant professional
I had a great experience with Dr. Doppel and the entire team. While the price is a bit higher compared to other orthodontic offices, the quality of care and attention to detail absolutely make it worth it. Dr. Doppel is very candid, honest, and always provides a warm welcome. She genuinely cares about the outcome and takes the time to explain everything clearly. What stood out to me the most is that she never cuts corners—on what was supposed to be my final retainer visit, she recommended additional refinement trays purely for aesthetic perfection. That level of commitment really shows how much she values her patients’ results. The front desk staff is also consistently kind and welcoming, which makes every visit a pleasant experience. Although I’m still waiting on my final set of retainers, I’m already confident the end result will be amazing. There are plenty of at-home Invisalign-style options out there, but the professional touch and expertise you get here truly make a difference. I’ll definitely be coming back for check-ups even after completing my Invisalign treatment. Highly recommend! UPDATE: I also wanted to add how impressed I am with their aftercare. After finishing my treatment, I had an issue with my nightguard being too thick and uncomfortable. Dr. Doppel took the time to carefully examine what was causing the issue and worked with me to resolve it. Even after a few weeks, she continued to address the problem until everything felt right. I really appreciate that their care doesn’t simply end once the Invisalign treatment is finished. They genuinely stand behind their work and make sure their patients are comfortable and satisfied afterward as well.
The whole team is kind and bright. Dr Doppel has a deep pool of referring dentists for good reason.
Very friendly staff
A great experience - professional, friendly and very knowledgeable! Thank you to the whole team.
Dr. Doppel and her team are amazing! They are all so kind and great at keeping you informed about whatever happening with what they are doing.
The Team at Pacific Orthodontics was a pleasure and very efficient.
By far the best experience in dentistry I've ever had! Dr. Doppel and her staff make it magical, from estimating the services in an easy to understand way, to consistent appointments where everyone makes you feel welcome. You can tell they really enjoy what they do and enjoy working together. I'm beyond happy with my results!
The entire staff was very friendly, attentive and very professional. They treat each patient with care and understanding to provide the best treatment possible. I’m truly happy I chose this office for orthodontics. I recommend to everyone to make Pacific Orthodontics the first stop when searching for orthodontic treatment.
Everyone is so wonderful! They work with you and listen to your needs. They often can get you back in urgently or early the same day if you are early for you appointment. Very gentle. Kind and caring staff with great views!
I walked in with little confidence that my top teeth could be straightened, and walked out 8 months later with a great smile. Dr. Dopple and staff are incredible - they treat you professionally but at the same time, just like you are part of the family. I had an amazing experience and will miss them - I don't say that a lot about anything dental! LOL
Great experience with Invisaline.
My initial consultation appointment was very professional and orchestrated with a knowledgeable and skilled team. It was a great experience to witness. And Diane is a total expert and just a lovely person. They have the process down pat.
I was told I might need a second jaw surgery. Thankfully, I got a second opinion first. When I first moved to Seattle, I was dealing with ongoing bite issues despite already having had orthognathic surgery (upper and lower), wearing braces, and wearing Invisalign. Another provider here told me more surgery might be necessary. Dismayed, I sought a second opinion at Pacific Orthodontics, and am so grateful I did. Dr. Doppel recommended taking the Invisalign off entirely, skipping additional surgery, and instead pursuing myofunctional therapy. That recommendation has been genuinely life-changing. She has a deep understanding of how anxiety, mouth-breathing, tongue posture, and jaw clenching are all interconnected and how they affect orthodontic outcomes. Her bedside manner is the best I've encountered anywhere. I also want to highlight the front office staff, who are consistently friendly and responsive whenever I've had questions about my retainer or mouth guard. Everyone in this office is excellent, from the clinical team to the front desk. If you've had frustrating experiences at other dental practices in Seattle, Pacific Orthodontics is worth the visit!
I heartily recommend Dr. Doppel. She is a highly skilled orthodontist who also communicates clearly. Her staff are proficient and friendly. My emails and questions were promptly answered and the two referrals I needed during treatment worked out well. In her care, I completed treatment (braces) sooner than estimated or expected. Based on my experience as an adult patient, I am certain Dr. Doppel is good with children and makes the orthodontia experience fun for them.
Thorough exam and ortho plan well described.
Excellent, nice, and smile team! A very pleasant experience!
Fast, Friendly, Efficient!
I was referred to Dr. Doppel by my dentist for concerns related to my bite and TMJ and was truly impressed by my experience at Pacific Orthodontics. Having lived in different cities and countries, I've seen my fair share of dentists and orthodontists over the years, so I don't write reviews lightly. When I contacted the office, the scheduling coordinator was welcoming and professional. She answered all of my questions in advance, including practical details such as parking and the office location, which made the visit seamless. Dr. Doppel has an excellent bedside manner. She is kind, soft-spoken, thorough, and conservative in her approach. She took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, perform a comprehensive evaluation, explain her findings, discuss treatment options, and answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed. I would also like to recognize Siobhan Collins, the treatment coordinator. She was wonderful to work with from beginning to end. She listened attentively, showed genuine empathy, and made me feel heard and understood throughout the process. That level of care and professionalism made a tremendous difference to me when discussing concerns that were causing me a great deal of stress. While there is a consultation fee, I found it to be well worth the cost. The quality of the evaluation, the time spent with me, and the professionalism of the entire team exceeded my expectations.
I removed my braces a few hours ago. I recall getting them glued on ~15 months ago, on 22nd Feb. I barely remember anything else, and that's how I think medical treatment should be. There were no popped brackets, snapped wires, emergency visits, etc, etc. It was uneventful and I loved it. I'd visit every 4-8 weeks, get some adjustments, and repeat. No discomfort or inconvenience at all. 10/10, would recommend.
Hello, to all the beautiful and professional people that work at pacific Orthodontists office. I was in yesterday for a scan for a new retainer after some new crowns were placed, and I couldn't have been happier with my appointment. Emilio, you did such a nice job taking care of me with the scanning and professional courtesy you provided. To the two beautiful young ladies, that work up front, you couldn't make me feel more welcome. I love this office, I'm so glad I decided to have my braces done here. A lot of people comment on my beautiful smile and I would say yep, that's doctor Doppel's work.
Really grateful for Dr. Doppel and her excellent team! Confident my kids' teeth are in great hands. Efficient, friendly communication by front desk and payment staff, too.
Gotta say as a middle aged man I kinda like having straight teeth. From consultation to conclusion the team at pacific was always professional and welcoming. Calm office environment, low anxiety and a high level of coordination/ communication left me with no regrets.
Had a great experience. Friendly welcoming team. Comfortable space. Great result!
As someone who just started orthodontic treatment 2 months ago for the second time in less than 6 years, I felt poor of bad retainer wear, and when I came to Dr. Doppel's, I felt immediately relieved, the pressure was off me. From my first meeting back in January, she was very thorough with her examination saying that there was lower forward tongue issues going on as well as moderate crowding on both arches. Not a lot of orthodontists are as thorough as Dr. Doppel when they analyze that there is a tongue issue going on. She is, better than my previous orthodontist, and PSA: If you want a thorough orthodontist who is fantastic at what they do, Dr. Doppel is the one to go to. I was able to get scans at my first appointment, and my first set of Angel Aligners the second appointment. That's how efficient they are.
The staff at Pacific Orthodontics are the perfect balance of professional and warm. I felt immediately welcomed upon entering the front office. I appreciated being walked through each step of the treatment plan with visual aids and videos. I am excited to continue my braces journey with this office!
I started wearing Angel Aliners in July and got them off today, and I’m so happy with my results. The whole process was super easy, and everything went smoothly because the office made it simple to follow and stay on track. My teeth are straight again, and my bite feels so much better. Dr. Dopple and the entire office staff have always been kind, supportive, and encouraging. They really have the process down, and it made the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. I’m very grateful for their care and would definitely recommend them to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.
Dr. Doppel and the crew are simple the best!
Everyone in the office was beyond pleasant. The office is very well organized and efficient with up-to-date technology and imaging. Diagnostic procedures were thorough and the treatment plan was explained very clearly. My wife had an extremely positive experience with Pacific Orthodontics. My experience thus far mirrors hers. No complaints at all. I'd recommend Pacific Orthodontics without reservations.
We had a Great Experience with Dr. Dopple and with her wonderful staff. Everyone was so extremely friendly & inviting. 💕
Nice staff and a wonderful orthopedist. Dr Doppel is so good and wonderful. She always greets you with happy and warm smile. She looks like she loves what she is doing.
Everyone was so helpful, friendly and amazing guiding me through my first set of aligners in my 30s. Highly recommend to anyone!
Dr Doppel and team are the best!! So professional, kind and they do great work!! Highly recommended!

Introduced a relative to Pacific Orthodontics due to my stellar experience 7 years ago as a mature adult. He didn’t have a good experience with braces when he was younger. Dr. Doppel and her team were thorough and put him at ease. Dr. Doppel also diagnosed an ongoing cause for his teeth being pushed out which will be addressed through non apparatus means ,complementing the clear liner approach with changing trays which progressively correct the alignment. He was comfortable with the approach. i was surprised at the improvements in technology in even 7 years and pleased that Pacific Orthodontics provides a state- of-the -art approach. I know other patients of Dr. Doppel who range from 8 yrs to 60 yrs +. i admit being hesitant at middle age to do orthodontics but so glad that I did, for appearance, chewing , comfort and stopping the cause behind my teeth being pushed out . .
Very friendly staff and answered all of my questions clearly and professionally.
Could not be more gentle or informative or kind!
Dr Doppel and Emilio expertly combine technical acumen with approachability. It’s a tricky balance to achieve, but they pull it off brilliantly and with great results.
Always a great experience. Every time without fail. Doctors are great. Staff is awesome. And wait times are reasonable. I completed my treatment plan today and I can honestly say that I couldn’t be happier with my results. I’m so so pleased. Thank you so much for taking such great care of me.
This was my third visit, and I’m really happy with the experience! The dentist and staff are super friendly and make me feel comfortable every time. The dentist is very nice and always explains what each visit is for and what they’re doing
I love the Yankees there the best team
Dr.Dopple is amazing !! Very caring and patient!
Very welcoming, and kind! I always love seeing them and the process of my teeth getting better!
I love Pacific Orthodontics! We started with another in West Seattle, and we were disappointed with their customer service and attention to our needs. Dr Doppel and her team are friendly, caring, and professional.
This office is the most cleanest office I've ever been to. Also the staff is soo nice/professional and helpful with anything you would need! Everyone is so easy to talk to, Thank you guys!
Dr Doppel is the best orthodontist anyone could ever want. She is very knowledgeable, skilled and kind to boot. I would recommend her to anyone in need of any kind of orthodontic care without hesitation.
