Bronx, NY – At Riverdale Family Orthodontics, we know you have many choices when it comes to finding an orthodontic practice. From chains to corporate practices, there are more choices than ever before. But at Riverdale Family Orthodontics, we want you to discover the personalized care behind a family-owned practice.
What makes us different?
Riverdale Family Orthodontics and our partner practice, Tuckahoe Family Orthodontics, are led by the husband-and-wife team of Dr. Sam Polan and Dr. Catherine Woo. Drs. Woo and Polan are Ivy League trained with an amazing five(!) Ivy League degrees between them. Dr. Woo attended Columbia College for her undergraduate work before attending Columbia University School of Dental Medicine for her D.D.S. and M.S. Dr. Polan received his undergraduate degree from Washington University before receiving his D.D.S. and M.S. from Columbia.
Our husband-and-wife team shares a strong commitment to their practices and their patients. They have built a partnership of trust and are guided by their shared values and goals. They were trained together and thus also have shared practice philosophies and methods. And because they’re family, they want all of their patients to feel like family, as well. Every patient is welcomed with compassion and treated as a valued member of the family and a partner in their orthodontic care.
Why visit a family-owned practice?
In larger practices, it’s not uncommon for patients to see different providers at each appointment. This can sometimes lead to an inconsistency in care and issues with communication. At Riverdale Family Orthodontics, you always know who you’ll see, which offers continuity of care for our patients. You’ll see the same smiling, welcoming faces every time you visit our offices, helping you feel at ease and most importantly, at home.
At Riverdale Family Orthodontics, you’re more than just a number. We strive to build lasting relationships with our patients, and love seeing multiple members of families in our office (mom, dad and all siblings!). We take the time to get to know you and your family so you can trust that we’re providing the most personalized care we can.
Larger practices, especially chains and corporate practices, may have rigid rules and policies that must be followed. We offer flexibility and adaptability to our patients. From creating customized payment plans that can comfortably fit into your budget to being able to work around your busy schedule for appointments, we make sure your needs come first.
This also helps when it comes to treatment planning. Drs. Woo and Polan can ensure every treatment plan is tailored specifically to each patients’ individual needs, so you get the best possible outcome. There are no corporate protocols to follow, just ensuring the patients’ needs are met in the way best for them. There is a consistent conversation throughout treatment to make sure patients are involved in their treatment and their goals are achieved.
