I went to Dr. McFarlane on a recommendation from a colleague and honestly could not be happier with how my treatment went. His Team is wonderful, Shelley is efficient and professional, Paula is a wonderful hygienist and Invisalign planner. She and Shelley walked me through the entire Invisalign process.. All information was sent to Dr. McFarlane and a comprehensive report was returned (this was part of the consultation). I had another consultation at another place and was thoroughly disappointed it was a hour of them talking, no pictures, no history, no imaging taken, nothing,

I just had my last visit with Dr. McFarlane and the Invisalign's were absolutely BRILLIANT.. I get compliments on my teeth all the time now, I have no issues with eating anything at all, my bite is perfect.

Advantage to Invisalign's you can use your retainers to bleach your teeth.

The only negative I would have to say about Invisalign treatment is it is a commitment, you have to wear your retainers, you have remove your retainers when you want to eat, you have to clean your retainers, its not for everyone, however I think the end result in comparison to friends who had braces is much better.

Dr. McFarlane stopped my jaw clicking with Invisalign, I was told I would need jaw surgery by a doctor - so happy I tried this amazing alternative first! And my teeth are so straight now, he completely fixed my smile and cross-bite, I would recommend him to anyone considering Invisalign.

My youngest daughter had a different Orthodontist and I wasn't able to get my oldest daughter in for 6 months so I decided to try Dr. McFarlane. I am sooooo glad I did! He goes above and beyond and will email me after appointments with my daughter to give me updates and recommendations. Shelley is so organized and helpful and they also had the best prices in town in my opinion! Highly recommend!!

What a great ortho. My whole family goes to see him, and we are all pleased. The entire staff is great as well. He saved me from getting double jaw surgery, and used his knowledge to correct my complicated bite. If you are unsure about getting your teeth corrected, go for a consult and see what he has to say.

Not only is Dr. McFarlane one of the kindest practitioners I have ever dealt with, his staff are phenomenal. Everybody at the office is always extremely pleasant and willing to help. Dr. McFarlane is transparent with his treatment plan, the likely outcome and with his reasonable pricing. He is also very much a perfectionist and ensures you will receive the best possible results unlike other orthodontists I have seen

I am extremely satisfied with my Invisaline results and how thorough Dr. McFarlane has been at achieving this. Dr. McFarlane and his team are truly professionals. They seem to always go above and beyond. At a time when we seem to be experiencing below average customer service, it's comforting to know that there still are professionals out there that take great pride in their jobs! There is no doubt that everyone at this office cares about their patients. Thank you team!!!

Such a great, professional, caring doctor. Our family loves Dr. McFarlane and his team! We have been seeing them for 3.5 years or more now, with 3 members of the family needing orthodontic work. He cares about his patients; even follows up the next day to see how we're doing after we've had our appliances installed. He's very attentive - listens to our ortho concerns and tries to help out as much as possible. He never wants to pull your adult teeth, which is fantastic - so many orthodontists resort to this. His prices for Invisalign, metal brackets and expanders (as we've needed one or more of all of these) are so reasonable, and most likely better than any other ortho office in our city. It's always such a wonderful experience visiting his office; everyone is so kind and he has a fantastic sense of humour on top of all of that. Highly recommend Dr. McFarlane and his team. The list of great things to say just goes on... you will never be disappointed with their service!

Dr. McFarlane likely saved me from very traumatic and unnecessary surgery. Still waiting to find out about my funding for invisalign, but his proposed cost is even less than any other ortho's I had seen, telling me they needed to also break my upper palette. Very relieved that his common sense approach saw it differently. Very good with children as well!
