Victoria Lynskey, DMD MDS

Cute clean office. Thank you to Jenny for helping when office was closed and needed a wire fixed.

As one of Dr. Lynskey’s «older» patients (just turned 68) I think I can offer a rather unique perspective from a demographic not usually associated with orthodontia. After waiting far too long to do anything about my crooked teeth and suffering the ravages of periodontal disease/​surgery and tooth extractions (a total of eight in the back). I decided to take my dentist’s advice and consult with Victoria Lynskey.
She convinced me that Invisalign was a viable option for me and that a treatment plan covering 15 – 18 months should do the trick. Well the bad news was that the treatment plan stretched out to 23 months, but the good news (far more important here!) is that when all was said and done, the results were better than either of us expected and she did give me the option of cutting the plan short if I wanted to. But figuring I had come that far and she was not giving up on me, I decided to extend the treatment for as long as she deemed necessary (at no additional cost) and the results were well worth it. And, by the way, Invisalign really is a relatively unobtrusive, painless means of teeth straightening. In almost two years of treatment hardly any of my friends or family even knew I was undergoing treatment!
Enough has been said here about the great office staff, friendly atmosphere and accommodating business practices, so I won’t add to that. When I told Victoria on my last visit that I would be reviewing her on Unilocal,her larger concern was what she could have done to improve my experience and I was honestly at a loss to suggest anything. And that’s not usually a problem for me! Kudos to Victoria Lynskey and her great staff. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

Dr. Lynskey’s team is an amazing group of professionals. They are knowledgeable, friendly and kind. My daughter is always treated with respect and the focus of her as the patient is obvious.
The office has a delightful ambiance, it’s colorful, always has a family-​friendly movie playing and my daughter is always excited to see what display, event or contest is happening next. These are just some of the ways that Dr. Lynskey and her team make the process of braces fun and keep patients involved and focused on the goal of a beautiful smile.
This team exudes warmth and caring and an excitement about what they will achieve with your resulting smile!

I don’t give any business 5 stars, but if I could, I would give Dr. Lynskey and her staff a 4.5. We moved from another city — and another orthodontic practice. I never realized how bad the other practice was until I experienced how good Dr. Lynskey’s practice is.
— Everyone on the team is genuinely nice, professional, and helpful.
— We are never kept waiting very long, even if we are early for our appointments.
— The office payment plan is very convenient and reasonable. We would have paid less for our braces here than at the prior practice, if we had been able to be here from the beginning.
— Dr. Lynskey works with parents to provide the best solutions for the children. My son started out with a retainer on his bottom teeth, which he lost within one week. (In his room, no less!) After the top braces came off, he needed a top retainer. We knew he would not be able to take care of a removable retainer. Dr. Lynskey and her lab technicians came up with a brand new design to ensure that the retainer stayed in my son’s mouth, but also didn’t impede his chewing, speech, or teeth brushing. It’s a pretty amazing little device.
— Every month, there are little contests for the kids to win fabulous prizes. We won 4 tickets to the California Academy of Sciences. The contests are a lot of fun for the kids to do while waiting (not that we wait all that long, as I mentioned previously).
— The staff makes sure to remind us of our appointments! It’s such a small thing, and yet, not all practices do it.
We’ve had a terrific experience with Dr. Lynskey and her staff. We referred our friends, and they like her as well. I don’t think you’ll be disgruntled if you choose her practice.

I absolutely love them! My son and I got our braces recently and I couldn’t be happier, the staff is friendly they make you feel welcomed. I just love it here. Dr. Lynskey is very knowledgeable. Her staff is awesome!

I was looking for a new orthodontist in the area, and found Dr. Lynskey on Unilocal after searching and reading many different reviews. I have a retainer and it was starting to rub the inside of my mouth, therefore I needed some help. I went in thinking that I would need a new retainer but the assistants took a look and explained that they just needed to adjust it slightly. I was elated that I would not have to spend a couple hundred dollars on a new retainer. Dr. Lynskey spent several minutes explaining why it was hurting me and also ensuring me that I could keep my retainer and it would keep my teeth in place. I highly recommend this honest, professional, and pleasant orthodontist!!!

Dr. Lnyskey has been my orthodontist through 2 rounds of braces. First time when I was 16 – 18 and I had them removed early without getting the necessary surgeries that she said I needed. I knew I would need braces again at a later date and I knew without a doubt I would go to her again. I started braces again at 26. She has been a dream to work with for this second round of braces and working with my surgeon through Kaiser. My treatment has been nothing short of amazing and I can’t believe the quality of life differences I have experienced. Not only is Dr. Lynskey amazing but so are all of her staff. I love Britney, the front desk girl. She calls me when appointments open up to get me in earlier because she knows earlier appointments work better for me. The assistants are all so awesome and gentle (especially nice when they are working on your post surgery). I honestly couldn’t imagine a better office to go to. I feel at home when I walk into the office and I pray that Dr. Lynskey is still practicing if and when my child needs braces.

I have had the best experience with Dr. Lynskey and her staff. Everyone knew my name after my first visit and were always so friendly at my every visit. I really do believe that everyone in that office cares about their patents well being and they have shown on several occasions that they will do anything possible to help their patients. Dr. Lynskey made my teeth look amazing with Invisalign. It took less time and cost less than I was expecting and what I had other orthodontists quote for conventional braces. Even almost two years after having completed my treatment I still receive amazing help from everyone in the office when I need to replace my retainer. I would recommend this office to everyone!

I am so impressed with this office. I just started my orthodontic journey and had visited 3 other offices before deciding. i immediately liked Dr. Lynsey and her staff. After hearing Dr. Lynsey’s treatment plan, I absolutely knew she was the right orthodontist for me. I felt like she really had my best interest at heart. I actually look forward to going, and have been treated with such care. 5 star service all the way!

I LOVE this office. I can honestly say that they are some of the nicest people. How many people can say that they actually looking forward to visiting their orthodontist? I can! Dr. Lynskey promised that I would only have to wear my Invisalign for 10 months and I was right on target. Everyone is so friendly and so welcoming that I might keep losing my retainer just to keep visiting

I had my braces on for a year and a half and Dr Lynskey and staff made it the best experience for me! Love them and love my new smile!

I had a full set of braces with Dr. Lynskey. Before I went to Dr. Lynskey, I had a very uncomfortable overbite and never smiled in pictures. I still come for retainer checks, and over the 2 years I was in treatment, I felt so comfortable coming to every appointment because I knew I would be seeing the same friendly faces. The staff always called me by name and took a personal interest in my life. I have never felt more beautiful in my pictures and I owe it all to Dr. Lynskey. I have beautiful teeth and a perfect bite!

We love Dr. Lynskey! My entire family see’s her and we couldn’t ask for a better, more caring doctor and staff. :)

Such a great office with a very kind, helpful staff. You will not be disappointed with Dr. Lynskey! If you’re looking for professionalism, good location in Santa Rosa, and kind people, look no further!

Love this office! What a fantastic staff, and Dr. Lynskey is so great every time we come. This office is fun for our daughter and she finally enjoys taking care if her teeth. Thank you to everyone at Dr. Lynskey’s for making my beautiful daughter smile bigger and brighter than she ever has before.

Victoria. Lynskey is the nicest person! She is funny and her staff are the sweetest bunch of gals! The office is always spotless and they have a kids movie playing to entertain the kids. I really cant say enough about how much I love this lady and her staff! She made having braces almost fun (which for a cranky older lady such as myself says alot) and she worked around my schedule like no other professional I have ever worked with. If I could give these ladies even more stars I would. Other businesses should look to this group to learn a thing or two on how to run a nearly perfect office! :)

I am very apprehensive about going to the dentist. It’s definitely not my favorite thing. Once I met Dr. Lynskey, I knew she was the right orthodontist for me. She was so kind and caring. She was realistic and honest about my expectations and outcome. Her office was really inviting and warm, and the staff was friendly, and helped me right away. I am really looking forward to working with Dr. Lynskey and improving my smile even more!

When our sons dentist informed us that braces were in his future we «shopped» around. We spoke with friends, friends of friends, read reviews and went in person to see for ourselves. We discovered that there were not only huge differences in price but also «suggested» procedures/​type of orthodontics he supposedly needed!
I was shocked by the differences! Victoria was right on the mark with what our dentist had thought our son needed. She was professional, kind and our sons
braces were perfect. His smile is proof.
We’ve had great service post braces too– retainer issues etc.
There is a reason why certain orthos have massive advertising, elaborate offices etc. They over charge… It’s that simple.
Shop around first… You’ll be glad you did.

It’s been a few years since I was Dr. Lynskey’s patient so, I feel my opinion is tempered with time. Dentally it was a complete waste of my time and enormous amounts of my money. Invisalign was recommended. It was supposed to take 6 months to straighten one crooked tooth in my lower jaw. After 1 year, the tooth was still crooked and another one that used to be straight is crooked now. Dr. Lynskey can be pleasant but, I saw her be rude and bullying many times especially to younger patients who can’t fight back. I did not find her gentle or caring in any way. There is a lot of superficial activity that seems to be patient oriented. I feel it is a complete fake façade. The office staff is pretty good. The dental assistants cry easily. Perhaps they have been bullied by Dr. Lynskey as well.

When our dentist let us know that our son was ready for braces, we started the «shopping process» for a good orthodontist. Let’s face it — orthodontics are pricey so we wanted someone who was skilled at their profession, directly treated their patients (we didn’t want to be passed around to different assistants each visit) and could communicate effectively with us AND our 11-​year old.
After much research and many conversations, we decided to seek treatment with Dr. Lynskey. And we have been nothing short of thrilled with that decision. She makes our son feel comfortable at each office visit, always allowing time to answer his questions and prepare him for next steps. When he knocked off a bracket during a rough basketball game, she not only made time for him immediately in her schedule, but she phoned over the weekend to check on his condition.
Dr. Lynskey has a great personal touch, works directly with each patient and family and gets results. She wasn’t the cheapest or most expensive option — she simply does her job professionally with warmth and skill. You won’t regret selecting her as your orthodontist.
