This orthodontist treated my daughter who had perfectly straight teeth and a center gap (not wide, just regular). The anticipated treatment plan was for 6 months. 2 1/2 years later she was still in braces but now she had multiple crooked teeth. We never missed an appointment. After two years when I asked why she still had a gap and now multiple crooked teeth, he delayed meeting with me for 6 months while he attempted to put her teeth back to where we started. After they were somewhat straight, he agreed to meet with me to tell me she was almost done. Pay close attention to all of the mouthwork he applies for a simple gap closure. He adjusts the wires to bend upwards which forced her front tooth into the upper gum cavity and he made the side braces crooked which made her straight side teeth crooked. I got two second opinions from area othodontists who agreed it was not only unnecessary but damaging. We changed to a competent orthodontist who fixed her teeth in less than 6 months but had an adjustment issue because Clemente damaged her gum cavity with the rotating back and forth every month for 2 1/2 years. She started with straight teeth and a center gap and ended with crooked teeth and a center gap. He is not a trustworthy orthodontist.

Dr. Peter Clemente is the most unprofessional, passive aggressive, and deplorable dentists I have ever witnessed in my entire life. He does not care about his patients, nor his job. He continuously makes excuses for the mistakes he makes and blames others like his staff. I have made several complaints about his unacceptable work ethic and he continues to sweep it under the rug. He has bad mouthed patients in the lobby and yelled “sue me” when he was being asked how to rectify an issue with a patient and at the end, kicking them out because he knows he was at fault hence embarrassing them and their family. This has happened multiple times on the multiple trips we’ve had to make for him to fix my kids teeth. If we weren’t in the middle of these procedures this crooked dentist suggested and had us pursue, we would not be going back.

The entire staff is rude and disrespectful. This place needs to be shut down immediately. I don't normally write bad reviews but this was the worst experience I have ever had at a medical provider. If I could give this place ZERO stars I would.

Unfortunately can't give this doctor a 0. He is very outdated, runs his practice off an old house. He is a better landscaper than a doctor. Staff is rude and parking is very limited. Worst of all, he doesn't have good knowledge about Orthodontics and gives bad advice. Avoid at all costs.

We just completed treatment for our 3rd child and are very happy with the results. Dr. Clemente takes his time to get a really good job done. Getting in and out of the office was pretty quick and they were always able to schedule us around all of our other commitments. 3 kids and 3 great smiles! We wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Clemente.

VERY unprofessional! He pretends to be kind and fun, but never gives you answers about your treatment. It seems like he'd rather have mindless minions than patients. As soon as I asked questions he became nasty and condescending. He even raised his voice to me and leaned into my face as if to intimidate. FIND SOMEONE ELSE!

I am in the process of having my Invisalgn done by Dr. Clemente. I tried my regular dentist for this treatment and he made a mess of my teeth and paid thousands! I found Dr. Clemente from a friend and he is amazing. I am very happy with my treatment and what he has accomplished this far. He really took on a complicated case that other orthodontist would not do (I went to several) and the results are fantastic and he is still not done! He may wear funny clothes and joke around a lot to make the kids he is treating feel at ease, because this type of treatment is painful, but he certainly knows what he is doing and has been totally professional my entire experience.

Clemente and my teeth are absolutely perfect. My regular dentist even said that it was a great job. He was professional at all times, he was kind and thoughtful and never once did anything that was inappropriate or unprofessional. I hate to see these bad reviews that complain about him, the only people who complain are the ones that don't want to pay their bills in this world and it makes me angry that they do this because that are delinquents and want everything in life for free. Dr. Clemente prices are very reasonable and he give you a payment plan and everything! You will not be sorry if you go to him to get your braces.

Just finished my ortho treatment...great experience! Dr Clemente was great and the staff was friendly, courteous and helpful. I never had a problem with scheduling appointments...they were always very accommodating. I would highly recommend this orthodontist.

This guys is really unprofessional and needs to stop practicing. I got my braces in 2011 and still have them on. He makes various excuses when you ask him to give you a projected date as to when you can get them off. When he examines your teeth he does not do a good job. AVOID at all cost. Not worth the time and pain. Do yourself a favor and find a better doctor who actually cares about you.
