This is one doctor that they look forward to seeing and we are so happy we found Straight Smiles!

Dr. Mateer is hands down my family’s favorite doctor. We have been going to him for over 8 years and we have had nothing but positive experiences with Dr. Mateer and the friendly office staff. He is not only a great orthodontist, but an even better person. He always takes the time to build rapport with his patients by learning about them and speaking with them. LI Straight Smiles is the best!

I highly recommend Dr. Mateer for all of your child’s orthodontist needs! Dr. Mateer is accustomed to working with children and making them (and their parents) feel comfortable. He genuinely cares about his patients and their families. The office has a welcoming atmosphere and all of the nurses and receptionists are kind, compassionate and professional!

I have been seeing Dr.Leavy since I was 11. I’m 29 now and recently went through a few jaw surgeries which needed me to be back in braces. Dr.Leavy and her entire staff are so beyond nice, their office is gorgeous and they truly care about the well being of their patients! During the recovery Dr.Leavy texted me, wanted to keep up with how I was doing and always made me feel so comfortable walking in there. The atmosphere of the office and staff is just so warm and friendly! Absolutely love it here and would never see any other ortho!

The office was absolutely amazing . Everyone was kind , friendly and warm . It is a beautiful clean and modern space with no to very minimal wait time. My quiet/shy daughter was treated wonderfully and interacted with tenderly and patiently. Dr. Mateer is probably one of the best Doctors I have EVER interacted with - being in the field and as a mature adult .. I have interacted with A-LOT of Doctors - so I don’t say that lightly . First impressions matter and he is hands down one of the best . This was our first visit and I look forward to many years of a wonderful partnership in the dental care of my daughter .

The whole office is so friendly and helpful. They share any and all information with you and the patient, and even more information!!!Dr. Mateer is so friendly and a positive person! He knows his patients and makes my daughter comfortable with each visit!!! He greets her with a fist bump and a big“hello!, What’s new? Any new sports?”He’s great!

We started seeing Dr.Leavy in October 2021 for my 7 year old, who at the time had very crowded teeth. She received a pallet expander and now is in braces. Everything went so smoothly and Dr.Leavy is very knowledgeable, helpful, and patient in making the experience a great one. My son just got his pallet expander today, and we are ready for another great experience with Dr.Leavy and her staff. Highly recommend!
