Los Altos Orthodontics

Visiting here from out of town, one of my daughter’s wires got loose and was painfully digging into her cheek. With five days before we got home, we needed to find an orthodontist who could help! This office gave us an immediate appointment and were very kind to my daughter. Thank you!

My most recent check up was definitely much better. Dr. Boschken and his staff took the time to show me the clin-​check with the updated notes regarding my concern. I now feel more confident that whatever concerns I have had are being addressed.
He also spent more time than usual to ask questions regarding the progression of the case. I appreciate the effort that he took to make the whole experience better. My teeth have come a long way from where i initially started and my smile is wider and prettier.
I would recommend Dr. Boschken (especially to those who can stand up for themselves and make sure their respective concerns are addressed).

I get referred to Dr Ross from Stanford Sleep Center. While Dr Ross is listed at Los Altos Orthos as but he is actually not practicing there anymore and that was not clear to me when I made my appointment. When I emailed and ask would I be seeing Dr Ross, I didn’t get a reply and since it is a free evaluation, I think it wouldn’t hurt if it turns out to be with Dr Boschken instead.
I showed up on time but was waiting for 20 min. Then I was brought in to a room where 3 other kids were getting their teeth cleaned and sit for another 5min It is definitely a ortho center for kids — not a good sign when I’m seeking oral appliance for sleep apnea.
Then I met Dr Boschken. He showed me the one and only appliance he uses on all his patients, bulky ones with wire that’s dated from 20 years ago. There are at least 20 more on the market that uses other materials and less bully. He said he didn’t bother to try. I asked him about tongue retaining device, he said he had never heard of it. He was also in a rush to get out of the room and get his assistant in to tell me about pricing.
With the 30min wait, not up to date with what’s on the market for sleep apnea dental appliances as comparison, and the rush to finish my consultation. I’m not picking dr Boschken to make my dental appliance.

I am very pleased with the results of my son’s treatment. Dr Boschken and the staff are very professional and caring. I highly recommend them to my friends.

Doctor was consistently rude and rushed — not quality or kind care. Wish we’d gone elsewhere.

My two teenagers just moved from braces to retainers as part of the treatment process by Dr. Boschken. We are all pleased with the results.
I drove from Campbell to Los Altos to go to this practice based on the recommendation from a sleep doctor, to widen one child’s jaw/​upper mouth due to sleep apnea. Dr. Boschken addressed that issue for us and my child has been sleeping better — still need to do the f/​u sleep test but child reports being more rested and behavior is improved.
Dr. Boschken and his staff are great — everyone is friendly, there is a great coffee machine for patients/​parents, and I am amazed at how Ricki remembers every clients name and something about them. When I had some concerns during treatment, Dr. Boschken took the time to meet with me to listen and discuss. He kept the braces on one child’s teeth longer than anticipated, but explained why and said he wanted her teeth to be perfect. They are. Thanks Dr. Boschken and all the staff at Los Altos Orthodontics!

I’ve never been to an Orthodonis before but this place is great :)
A awkward that it is right in the middle of a residential neighborhood.
The service from the staff was great! They very very friendly and very thorough.
I’ll definitely recommend them to my family and friends.

Friendly staff. Professional service!

The staff at Los Altos Orthodontics is the friendliest and nicest you will find. Really nice people (they were hired by Dr. Ross who ran the place previously.)
But Dr. Boschken is a different story… He was always rushed. Didn’t seem to be up to speed on the case. His top priority was to finish the case, not necessarily to get it right. Several times during the treatment he made incorrect diagnosis and recommended the wrong treatment plan. Finally, he announced the case complete when we clearly saw it was not. His explanation was «this is how her mouth is…» At that point we gave up on him and went for a second opinion. Sure enough the other orthodontists saw the issues right away and we had to start again.
Dr. Boschken disappointed us and we recommend to our friends to avoid him and look for an orthodontist who is in it to make it right…

We love Los Altos Orthodontics! Dr. Boschken and his staff are amazing. They are so welcoming and friendly every time we go. My daughter has teen Invisalign and Dr. Boschken explained everything throughly and answered all my questions.
I highly recommend Dr. Boschken and his staff at Los Altos Orthodontics.

This is a second go around for me and braces… I had them as a kid and now getting a «tune up» as an adult. Dr. Boschken and his staff are great! Very professional and competitively priced. They offer both invisalign and traditional braces, which allows people to choose the best treatment option to suit their needs. I also like that they treat both kids and adults. Love that they include a free teeth-​whitening treatment after the braces come off. Highly recommend!
