Excellent professional and Human being! I was on vacation in Seattle and a bracket fell off. I´m from outside the US and I was worried on how expensive would changing a bracket be. Dr. Riolo and his amazing staff didn´t charge me and did an amazing job so that my treatment wouldn´t be impacted. I made sure my dentist back home pays it off, and If I get to go back to Seattle longer I´d definately carry on my treatment with Dr. Riolo.

I have been a patient of Dr. Riolo for two years and have been very satisfied with his work. I have found him to be both an exceptionally competent orthodontist and uncommonly caring professional. He is very skillful in maximizing patient comfort during orthodontic procedures. I should add that he takes the time needed to answer questions and discuss treatment matters in a way that is easy to understand and gives me confidence that my decisions about treatment options are well informed. Also, I have found Dr. Riolos staff consistently friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the services of Dr. Riolo and his staff.

I cannot speak more highly of Dr. Riolo and his staff. When I came highly referred to Dr. Riolo I was scared as I do not like the dentist or any dental work. I was greeted by Kristy warmly and was immediately felt at home. Kristy could sense I was nervous and she went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable and at place. When I finally met Dr. Riolo I was at ease. He is extremely professional and made my comfort his priority. He in detail examined me and detailed what my life with braces would be like. 12 months later I would not be more thankful. I felt out of place being an adult getting braces but once I had them I wanted to be an ally. I was always welcome and rooted on for the next step and for that I am forever grateful.

Dr. Riolo is absolutely amazing! I don’t know what else to say. He was so friendly, kindhearted, funny, and positive throughout my treatment. He is highly educated, willing to answer all your questions, and help you in any way he can. His staff is wonderful and seem genuinely happy to be there. I loved the atmosphere and seeing the quality relationships between him and his staff. He offered so many options from Invisalign to traditional braces (gold, clear, metal...) to incognito! The office is beautiful, modern and high tech. Working in the dental field myself, I have high standards, and Dr. Riolo and his staff have gone above and beyond. He was able to correct my bite, putting me in a much more comfortable and functional position without surgery! I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity for Dr. Riolo to help me with my teeth, and can’t wait to show the world my new beautiful (and functional) smile!

As an orthodontist treated by another orthodontist, I must say that I received nothing but high quality care. If you are looking for an experienced, detail oriented orthodontist who delivers excellent treatment quality I highly recommend Dr Riolo. With his clinical and teaching experience, attentiveness and being a good listener he makes sure your concerns are being addressed properly. Additionally, I must admire him for staying up-to-date with the latest technology that helps deliver better treatment. He utilizes a variety of treatment techniques which allows him to deliver fine customized treatment for each patient.My 1.5 year treatment was recently completed and my bite feels much better. I am very happy that I proceeded with the treatment and chose him as my orthodontist. Oftentimes, I consult my patients orthodontic cases with him and consider him an expert in the field of orthodontics.

Had a wonderful experience getting some new retainers made! So fast, and love that they use digital imaging instead of the old plaster molds to create the trays...a much more pleasant session! Entire staff is friendly and very accommodating on scheduling visits. Highly recommend!

Dr. Riolo is awesome. We were visiting from Northern California and my sons permanent retainer came unattached on one side on the weekend. Dr. Riolo responded promptly via e-mail during the weekend and set up an appointment at 9am Monday to be seen. We filled out the heath questionnaire online prior to coming in and Dr. Riolo resolved the issue perfectly. He is a life saver.

Look no further!! You will not find a more experienced, caring and thorough team than Dr. Riolo and his staff. From the first consultation its clear they lead the way in their industry and Im so thankful to benefit from their passion.Im a 30yo woman who wanted straight teeth but didnt want to shamelessly rock the braces look or deal with the hassle of invisalign. I didnt even know lingual braces (braces behind your teeth) were possible! Such a great decision and I would recommend it to anyone. The compliments I get on my smile now never get old. :)

Excellent service from entire team. Dr. Riolo and his colleagues are very approachable and highly proficient in orthodontics. Location is conveniently located in the same place as my dentist at the Medical Dental Building in downtown Seattle. Highly recommended!

Dr. Riolo and his staff did a wonderful job correcting my bite. I was skeptical as this was my third time getting braces, first as an adult. But, the professional team at Dr. Riolos office made the process smooth, painless and easy. I actually looked forward to my office visits because everyone is friendly, the office is beautiful and Dr. Riolo has a great sense of humor. Dr. Riolo is super approachable and super smart. I was worried that my recent diagnosis of periodontal disease would make it more difficult to straighten my bike. But, Dr. Riolo created a solution specifically for my situation and took great care of my teeth, gums and bite. I strongly recommend Dr. Riolo and his excellent team.

We were on vacation in Seattle and my sons wire came out of his bracket and was bothering him. We went to Riolo Orthodontist hoping they could help us. Not only did they fix his wire but they got him in quickly and they didnt charge us either. The staff is amazing and they went above and beyond to help us. Thank you, you guys are awesome!!

We are tourists staying in Seattle before our Alaskan cruise. Yesterday we needed an emergency fix in our son’s invisible braces. We called dr. Riolo’s clinic who agreed to see and help us with no appointment. Dr. Riolo was super nice and professional, fixed the problem in no time and we were on our way to continue our trip. Thank you so much for your kindness and expertise. Like our son said- I wish we had them back home. This is a reason to move to Seattle... totally recommended!!!!!!

Ive had the great opportunity and pleasure of working with Dr. Riolo for the past year and half. Its great to have the opportunity to collaborate with a trusted, knowledgable and practical colleague. His positive attitude and joyful demeanor always makes the staff and patients happy to be in the office on Saturdays. His ethical and rational style of treatment is welcoming; knowing that youre being told the truth whether treatment is necessary or not. I respect that greatly and thats why Id refer any of my patients to him.

We are visiting Seattle on vacation and my sons braveb needed some repair. Dr Riolo took care of us right away for no charge and could not have been nicer. I wish we could clone him and bring him to Atlanta. Thanks so much.

While growing up I was often made fun of for how my teeth looked. I grew to become extremely self-conscious of smiling and would only give a slight grin to ensure my teeth were not seen. I thought there was not any hope for teeth as crazy as mine to ever be fixed. However, after being blessed by the skills of Dr.Riolo, my smile is now what I am endlessly complimented on. I feel much happier and more confident having undergone the orthodontic handiwork of Chris. I smile at every moment possible and could not be more satisfied. The service provided was amazing- I always felt at ease in the office, while Dr.Riolos warming personality brought a level of comfort. The process of braces was one that went smoothly and has yielded results that have changed my life.

Im about to get my braces off, which means Ive been going to Dr. Riolos office for almost two years. Here are all the reasons I highly recommend this place!1. Dr. Riolo does top-notch work. Im not an orthodontist, so how do I know this? Well one time I was in London and a wire came loose. I went to see an orthodontist there to patch me up. When he was finished this British doctor told me how impressed he was at how my braces were set up, and to give Dr. Riolo his compliments. Thats when I knew that Dr. R is at the top of his game.2. The office is super responsive at getting you in if something is bothering you. When you have braces, its a fact of life that things come loose sometimes. Every single time this happened, they have gotten me in there in 24 or 48 hours max, even if I told them it wasnt that big of a deal. I seriously appreciate this. They make you feel like your well-being is a priority.3. The people in the office are incredibly friendly and fun. This is going to sound cheesy, but when I go in for an appointment it doesnt feel like a dentist appointment, it feels like Im going to hang out with my friends. When youre going in every six weeks, this makes such a difference!So if youre thinking about braces in Seattle, definitely check this place out!

My family and I were in Seattle mid August on a holiday from Dubai. I had been wearing braces for 1.5 years. They only came off a month prior to my trip. I was on my holiday when it broke. A gap started to appear in between my two front teeth much to my dismay. I was really stuck and needed some assistance.We found Dr. Riolos clinic and I have to say he was wonderful. He could tell I was upset by the situation and he immediately took my booking. When I got to his clinic he met me and proceeded to make me feel at ease. He made two new retainers for me and did not charge me through the roof. Dr. Riolo was professional, courteous but most importantly he understood exactly what I needed and made me feel better about my situation. I would strongly recommend Dr.Riolo and anyone of his team members. Thank you so much Dr.Riolo and team!!Louise HodgeDubai

Ive been working with Dr. Riolo for about a year now and I couldnt be happier. Im almost finished with treatment and am totally satisfied with the results. It has been an easy and nearly painless process to have the smile Ive always wanted.Heres one reason Im grateful I ended up in his office and not where I had done a previous consultation:Dr. Riolo saw a unique way for me to utilize Invisalign but their automated treatment plan system kept rejecting it. Because his method offered optimal results in the most efficient way, he went to bat for me and made numerous phone calls until he reached a human being that could fulfill the treatment plan he prescribed. As a health care practitioner myself, I know how time consuming and frustrating these computer systems can be, and any doctor who is willing to take their own time to make sure their patient gets the best care should be recognized.

I am getting Invisalign through Dr. Riolos office and I couldnt be happier with their support throughout the process. Their office is very easy to find, and although it is right downtown, parking is quite easy to find right by the building. The staff are very welcoming and down to earth, making the office environment comfortable and relaxing, yet very professional at the same time. I had many questions about the process and their explanations were clear, allowing me to trust in their work. The office had a few patients being worked on while I was there, but I never felt ignored or neglected as a client. Overall, I would definitely recommend this orthodontic clinic!

I had lingual braces, which involved implants-dr.riolo helped me make the right decision and helped coordinating with my other dental office! Dr. Riolo and his assistants are super friendly! But scheduling with front desk is extremely difficult and inflexible.

Ive been to multiple orthodontists since age 9 (now 21), had headgear, expander and multiple braces through out the years and have not had an experience with an orthodontist that has been as attentive or personable as Riolos office. Absolutely, genuine, extremely detail oriented and wants nothing but what is best for his patients. I had many insecurities with my teeth and was ready to get complete veneers however, my dentist recommended me to see Riolo about braces and Invisalign beforehand. My issues with my teeth were not an easy fix and Ive been consistently amazed and excited by the amount of detail and care hes put into my Ortho treatment the past year. My braces treatment required a lot of technique and close attention every appointment and it was very priceless that Dr.Riolo was nothing more than ready and excited to do it. His expertise has transformed my teeth and I actually dont need to think about getting veneers anymore which wouldve been much more costly. The office and the dental assistants are absolutely the loveliest and patient on answering all of my questions and making my appointments. Having had experiences with quite a few other orthodontists Im super excited whenever I get the chance to recommend Dr. Riolo. For anyone looking for orthodontic treatment I know theyll be in the best care when I tell them about his office.

Chris Riolo and team really know what theyre doing! The treatment is fantastic and everyone is personable and for what Im having done, its extremely affordable!I started with Riolo Orthodontics last May. After one consultation we decided to being with Incognito braces and this has been the most phenomenal experience. I had *what I think* is a fairly complicated situation and Dr. Riolo has timed everything perfectly so that I had braces on, started movement, had a tooth extraction and he placed a pontic (false tooth) in its place on the brace wire. Not a single person has ever thought my teeth were not exactly as they were supposed to be. Dr. Riolo cut the pontic to look exactly like its matching eye tooth and it fits in perfectly on the Incognito Braces. It is impossible to tell that its 1.NOT MY TOOTH and 2.That I have braces holding it on! Were finishing up lateral angular movement with elastics and once there is alignment I will have the screws placed for my implant and we will hide that with the pontic for a bit longer until the actual crown can be placed. Im pretty sure that even after I have completed treatment I will keep going in their office just to stop by and say hi because of how wonderful everyone has been!
