Outstanding experience at Savage, Sabol, and Visser Orthodontics.
Dr. Anthony Savage and Laurie Thompson were phenomenal — knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring. They took real time to explain my treatment plan in a way that actually made sense.
For the first time I can remember, I didn’t feel rushed at all — and it didn’t feel like they were rushing either. That alone meant a lot to me. Grateful to God I ended up here. Highly recommend.

Well, what else can we say about this review except THANK YOU! We love that your experience was exactly the way we want every visit to feel like. Dr Visser is very good at making people feel heard and he does a great job of explaining treatments and procedures. So happy you are part of the SSV family!
I've never been happier with my smile! From day one, the entire experience was incredible. The team here made every appointment something to look forward to. Everyone was so genuinely nice, and so much fun to be around. Their energy and humor really made each visit a fun time. If you are looking for any dental work, I cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Brendan, a new smile, what a great way to end 2025 and start the new year! Thank you for the 5 stars and we look forward to seeing you soon. Happy New Years!
I had my braces done 1979 and they gave me the best crest smile ever! I have perfect teeth & still do! At the age of 58 my teeth are still unbelievably perfect. Ol' Man Visser was such a sweet man. I still get compliments daily on my smile. I had buck teeth over an inch!

Heather what a beautiful smile! Dr Roger Visser was a wonderful orthodontist and sweetest person, very kind of you to mention him. You keep showing off that amazing smile and we appreciate you including your beautiful picture
Hands down, the best orthodontic office I’ve ever been to. Dr Savage is amazing!!! I first brought my older son here for braces, and a few weeks later I decided to get mine done too. My overbite was pretty bad and I had some misaligned teeth, so I was nervous but they made the whole process so easy. They took exceptional care of my son and gave me the same level of attention. The entire staff is genuinely personable, and the doctors are really in tune with their patients. If you have an issue, they get you in quickly and fix it without making you feel like a burden. You can tell they take real pride in their work and in the way they treat people.
Getting both my son’s braces and mine done here was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made. They go above and beyond, and it shows in every interaction.

Davena we certainly appreciate your taking the time to say such wonderful things about our doctors, staff and your patient experience, both for yourself and your son. We love when we hear back from our amazing patients telling us ways in which they feel special and taken care of. While it's certainly about straightening teeth, we believe it is way more than that. It's about making sure the patient is getting the best service both from an orthodontic standpoint and a personal one.
Wonderful experience with Dr. Savage and the entire team at Strawbridge! I originally came here a few years ago for braces, and the results were amazing, they gave me the perfect smile. Three years later, I returned to have my plastic retainer fixed, and once again, the staff was incredibly helpful, friendly, and efficient. Truly the best team!

Peyton we love seeing our patients after treatment is over to help out with any needs or concerns. We are pleased that Dr Savage and the team at Strawbridge got your retainer all fixed. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review on your appointment.
The front desk lady at the Kempsville location was so rude, I had to cancel both my kids appointments, I do self-pay, will take my money somewhere else.

Hello Ms Mfinanga - We are really sorry to hear that you're upset. We completely understand how frustrating this situation can be. We value your time and never want you to feel overlooked. It looks like you missed your appointment, and we do our best to accommodate everyone, but our schedule fills up quickly. We had another patient scheduled immediately after you so it would have been very difficult to give you the proper care and quality of our time had we accommodated you. We always try to send reminders, but I know sometimes things still slip through the cracks, it happens to all of us. We would be happy to reschedule you on a day and a time that works best for you. We truly would appreciate the opportunity for your family to be part of our practice, and we will do everything we can moving forward to have your needs taken care of

I’ve been coming to this orthodontist since I was really little, starting my braces journey with Dr. Visser—and I couldn’t be more grateful. Dr. Visser is truly amazing: he listens, genuinely cares, and always takes the time to explain your options every step of the way. The care and support I’ve received over the years has been nothing but incredible. I’ve never been more pleased with my results! I highly recommend this practice—trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

Sabrina we so appreciate the very kind words and sharing that we have been your orthodontist since childhood. We do have patients who over the years come back to get evaluated if there has been any shifting or dental changes. We always love seeing them again, and we continue to want to offer the same excellent care and service.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Savage and his entire team! They are incredibly kind, personable, and truly go above and beyond to make every visit a great experience. Communication is always clear and thoughtful, and the whole team is friendly, professional, and welcoming.
One of the things I appreciated most was how Dr. Savage made sure my Invisalign treatment stayed perfectly on track so I could have my aligners off in time for my wedding. That kind of attention and care meant so much to me. Highly recommend Dr. Savage and his team for anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate orthodontist!

I had a fantastic experience getting my braces at this orthodontic clinic! Dr. Savage, Dr. Sabol, and Dr. Visser are all amazing—skilled, professional, and genuinely caring. They made every visit comfortable and took the time to explain each step of the process.
Now that my treatment is complete, I’m absolutely thrilled with the results—my teeth look beautiful! I’m so grateful for the care I received and highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.

Thankful I found this dentist. Dr. Savage took the time and listened to my situation regarding TMJ. This has been extremely hard to find in the Virginia Beach area. I now feel more confident that we can make my TMJ extremely manageable!

Lekesha what a lovely review. We so appreciate our patients and recognize that they have many options for orthodontic care. We believe we are the best of the best, so hearing you say you agree makes us really happy. Please tell everyone where you got that special and confident smile!
I had my braces put on yesterday and the whole experience was amazing. From the moment I walked in, the team was warm, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. Dr. Savage who did my consultation and braces was kind, patient, and treated me like family. That personal touch really meant a lot. The atmosphere was so welcoming, and the customer service was top notch. I’m genuinely glad I chose this practice!
