This is a warm and welcoming environment for a family to experience the somewhat tumultuous course of orthodontic treatment. The quality of care is second to none and you can't beat the convenient location!!! I highly recommend them!

We have put braces on three family members and have one more to go so we have spent the last 6+ years going in and out of Embrace Our World Orthodontics. Our experience with Dr. Shanker and the entire staff has been amazing. The office layout, the friendly staff, the updated technology, and the care and concern of the doctors is first class. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone who is considering orthodontic treatment. Thank you for going above and beyond to make our family smiles last a lifetime!

Embrace Our World is so wonderful there are no words to describe it. The office staff is amazing and fun to be around. Dr. Gary, Dr. Jon, and Dr Brian are all around out of this world. They care so much for their patients, and want to see everyone have a wonderful smile. I will tell everyone about this office.

In this world today you can usually find something that a company can improve on, but I have to say I can’t find anything that I would recommend to change. When you call the person behind the phone is so happy you can just see the smile. When you are called back to talk to the doctor or technician they are all working so hard but they are having fun too. I would recommend Embrace Our World to everyone that needs braces because both of my boys have had braces here and you should see their smiles!!! Thank you Dr. Brian Schlueter!!

I am Zack's mom, Kelly Bievenue. We have thoroughly enjoyed our experience at your office. When we first visited a couple of years ago, we were blown away by all the child/teen-friendly games/screens on EACH chair! This certainly made the time pass quickly for Zack.
I also enjoyed the opportunity to earn Target gift cards simply by Zack wearing your tee-shirt or bracelet. Initially, we were saving our points so Zack could earn the soccer ball. Then, I decided I paid for the Invisalign, so these were MY points!
Probably most important is the friendliness of EACH staff member we have encountered. It is always an enjoyable experience coming to your office. Zack is finished with his treatment, but I still have another year or so with Austin.
Correction.....most important is the quality of care Zack was given. When we first came to your office, he had a gap between his front two teeth. Thankfully, that is gone now and he feels much more confident with his smile.

Using Embrace Our World has been a great experience! They completely worked with us in setting an appropriate payment plan to meet our needs. We received appointment reminders by phone and email, as well as keeping us aware of any pertinent information regarding contests, etc. Katie's orthodontic treatment was kept within the original timeline given, at our original consultation. We couldn't be happier with the final result. Thank you to everyone at Embrace Our World.

We had a wonderful experience with Embrace Our World, with all 3 of our kids. They are professional, thorough, give many options, and worked with us on financing as well. They sent out reminder messages that helped a lot with our hectic schedules too. They were also understanding if we were a little late due to traffic or had to reschedule an appointment. All the staff there seem to enjoy their job and between that and the screens for kids to interact with during the appointments, the atmosphere overall is fun and positive. I would definitely go back to them, but I don't have any more kids! :)

The entire staff at Embrace Our World should be extremely proud of themselves for the outstanding service they provide. There are countless orthodontic practices and I'm sure they are all capable of correcting the issues presented, but we feel like we hit the jackpot with Embrace Our World. Everyone has been extraordinarily friendly and the experience was made as painless as possible with the help of technology and/or distraction, not to mention humor. Our daughter walked out today with a perfect smile, all thanks to everyone at Embrace Our World. Thank you!

Our experience with Embrace Our World Orthodontics has been nothing but wonderful. Jimmy is the youngest of my 3 children who have all gone to this practice. All 3 of them have the most perfect teeth now, thanks to Drs. Shanker, Shanker, and Schlueter. Every staff member is SO friendly and knowledgeable. We have never been there when someone wasn't pleasant to us. The office is well run and very organized when it comes to treatments. We are so thankful we chose you for our orthodontics and would highly recommend you!

As a parent, I personally like all the doctors and staff. Each one reviewed my children completely each time we went to the office. The staff made an initial plan for each of my children, but modified at each stage depending on what happened with their teeth. I love the fact they were willing to adjust to make sure my children received the absolute best care. Now, my children did not feel the same way. They felt the staff constantly promised them something, but never delivered. They might say - oh, looks like your are getting close to the end and then the next visit the staff would say it was going to be another 12 weeks. Three months in a child's life is not a short time. There were quite a few times my children left in tears because they felt they had been lied to. Again, I did not see this because I was thankful they were adjusting to my children's teeth. This happened to both my children.

We enjoyed our experience with this practice ! Dr. Shankar and dr. Shankar and dr. Schulter were all hands on! They were interested in your child even beyond the braces ! That's what our children need ... to be spoken to and smiled at! The office is friendly from the minute they say Hello! What a wonderful environment ! They actually look forward going to the orthodontist! And their work smiles for itself!!! They have done an unbelievable job on my children's teeth! Unbelievable!!!!!

My daughter Tamar had incredibly complex orthodontic issues. Now her teeth look spectacular. The change is unbelievable. I am confident that no other orthodontic team could have worked the miracles that the Embrace Our World orthodontists did for my daughter. Not only was the dental care superb, but the staff was always friendly, cheerful, supportive, and helpful during our many visits to the office. Whether in person or on the phone, our questions were always answered, and whenever we needed a last minute appointment, the staff found time for us. Thank you again and again to the entire team!

Both of my children have been patients of Dr Shanker and Schlueter for years now. I have never one day thought that we had made a wrong decision.
These three doctors are all so kind and talented.
I feel that the value we experienced has been well worth every penny. I never felt nickel and dimned. I always felt they made decisions based only on what was right for their teeth, not their pocket!
I still have one child just starting invislign and one finished just today! The finished work looks beautiful!
Thanks Doc's :)

Awesome doctors and staff! My son just had his braces removed today and his teeth look fantastic! He had some challenging issues (which is why we were referred to this office) and has been under their care for the last 8 years. We were not disappointed....his transformation is nothing short of miraculous! I cannot say enough good things about this office. Not only are they knowledgeable and extremely good at their job, but they are also very kind and caring. The entire office really seems to enjoy what they do....it seems like a fun place to work! Everyone always has a smile. My youngest son is also a patient and will be for a few more years and neither one of my boys have ever complained about an appointment. In fact, my 10 year old is sometimes disappointed that his time in the chair is too short....he didn't get to finish his Xbox game! Thank you Drs. Shanker(s) and Schlueter and the entire staff! I highly recommend Embrace Our World!

Dr. Shanker was my orthodontist way back in 1992. 22 years later, he put braces on my son! I'm grateful that these doctors strive for perfection! My son's smile is even more beautiful now since his teeth are so straight! My son is thrilled, too! Thank you to the entire staff!

Our son has an awesome new smile and we are so pleased! Thanks to the thorough and caring staff, the entire experience was much better than we had anticipated. At each appointment the team addressed what our son was doing correctly and what things he needed to improve. The treatment cost was explained up front and and there were no billing surprises! I have no concerns about recommending Embrace our World Orthodontics to anyone. Thank you!

My daughter had to have extensive work with surgery before she could even begin. EOWO found her a surgeon and worked with us to be sure she got the treatment she needed. We have worked with this office for over 3 years and have been so happy with each visit. The entire staff couldn't me more kind and helpful. I have told so many friends about Embrace Our World and will continue to do so. Thank you so much for taking care of my daughter and making her smile as beautiful on the outside as it always has been on the inside.

We had nothing but the BEST experience!
We will never forget when you met us at the office on a Sunday to fix a broken wire and broken bracket that were digging badly into his skin! It took an hour to fix and we were SOOO appreciative of doing this for him at all, let alone on a Sunday!
Our older two sons did not go to Embrace Our World, they both were treated by another local ortho... a decision we will always regret.
Thanks again for everything!

I know, without a doubt, that we made the best choice for our daughters by trusting Dr Shankers and Dr Schluetter with their orthodontic care. Everyone in the office is a pleasure to be around, friendly, and happy! Any question I had was always answered so that I understood what was happenining with their treatment. We had interviewed several other orthodontists in the area and found the prices to be comparable. I feel we got the best overall value with our choice! 2 daughters are finished with their treatment and my 8 year old is beginning! She's actually excited to be going for her own treatment! We LOVE this office!!

My experience with you has been phenomenal. I am extremely impressed with the pbysicinas and staff. Drs. Shanker, Shanker and Schlueter are all very competent and hands on in their work. It is obvious each truly enjoys being an orthodontist and is there for the sake of the patients, not themselves.
The staff is always friendly, kind, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. Dani has had quite a journey with your practice and I would highly recommend you to friends, loved ones and even strangers seeking Orthodontia care for their child or themselves.
Thank you so much,

Our daughter was jealous when our son was coming here for his braces, she wanted to know when she would be able to join the fun! Well, she just got them off, and she is a little sad that she will not be coming back. She asked if she can just come to visit. That says a lot about how good the people are who work here. How many kids WANT to visit the orthodontist? Mine did, and I am very grateful to all the people who worked with my kids. Your office made braces fun. Thank you very much!

We have been going to the doctors' office for close to 4 years. First was getting my son prepared for braces and now that his have been removed my daughter is up next.
The best things about the practice is their punctuality. They are very good about honoring your appointment time. If you are late, you may have to forfeit your time and reschedule just so that they stay on time.
The office is very clean; they just completed new sidewalks around the building; and the personnel are always friendly.
The practice is big enough that they have office staff doing their jobs and only their jobs. The finance people seem to only do the finance things. The technicians are free to only do the work they are there for.
I had one concern with my son's treatment and called to speak with a doctor. He returned my call later that afternoon and was very receptive to what I had to say. My concerns were taken seriously and the doctor and I came to an agreement on my son's treatment. His braces have now been taken off and his teeth look great.
It all adds up to a well oiled machine that I would recommend to everyone.

I would like to take this time to thank Embrace Our World Orthodontics for an outstanding experience for my daughter for the past two years. She walked out of the office yesterday with the most beautiful smile. The quality of care she received with her braces was amazing. The staff there have great communication skills letting us know the next step in her care throughout the process. I love seeing how much fun the doctors and their staff have. I would highly recommend them to any parent looking for an orthodontic office. Once again Thank You!!!

Embrace our World Orthodontics is a very special orthodontics office. They spend extra time and care to make sure you are comfortable and happy. They provide you with games, competitions, rewards, and more. Who knew braces could be fun? Dr. Schlueter is awesome, and all the staff are extremely helpful and friendly.
They go above and beyond in making sure you reach your ultimate goals. They explain what the plan is and advise you every step of the process as to where you are at and what is next in the process for success. The whole experience in my "brace" adventure was made pleasant thanks to them. They are great and I would recommend them to anyone.

Both of my kids had braces. We were always treated with courtesy, friendly smiles and great service. One thing that I noticed about the staff is that everyone seems to genuinely like each other. In a small office setting such as yours, that cannot always be easy. Even if that isn't always factual, I commend all of you for always giving us, your "customers" that feeling when we are there.
I would recommend Embrace Our World to other parents (and adults) looking for an orthodontist.
