Walking into Dr. Lemchen’s practice was the most comfortable and personable experience I could have asked for. Not only are Dr. Lemchen and Dr. Salzer both experts in their field – they are way ahead of the game and employ all of the most innovative technologies – but also they are thoughtful, caring, approachable and make sure to go into every detail of the orthodontic process.

Verified Patient |Lemchen Salzer Orthodontics Family

Outstanding!! truly a professional clinic. Everyone is courteous, professional and kind, to both the child and the parent. Dr. Lemchen and his staff are truly a gem in the middle of Manhattan. We came over with an emergency when my 10 year old son’s braces broke off (the bracket and wire fell from a job done elsewhere). Dr. Lemchen was recommended to us by friends, and we have to say, we’ve never seen better service in our life.

Verified Patient |Lemchen Salzer Orthodontics Family

Absolutely the best dental experience I’ve personally ever had. No rushing, no pushy sales tactics and clarity at every step of the consultation. From the X-rays, to the moment I spoke with Dr. Jennifer Salzer. Everyone I interacted with on staff was so ‘human’ and sincere.
