North Coast Orthodontics

We are REALLY happy we chose North Coast. We consulted with every orthodontist in town (it seems). What drew us to NC, was their attention to detail with the options to treatments. I felt they were absolutely giving us the positives and negatives to each option. That was eye opening. The other orthodontists we met with just told us «this is what we will do». The end. Dr’s Schabel and Chan were the opposite. They treated us like educated individuals, and could be involved with the right plan for us. That was unique in our consults, and won us over. We are now very well underway, and could’t be happier with our decision. The kids (all 3 of them!) are progressing nicely. Also, gotta give props the the staff. Friendly, professional and efficient. All in a gorgeous office.

I can not express how amazing this orthodontic office is. I’ve needed braces since I could remember, but my family couldn’t afford it. I felt like I wouldn’t be able to either but they worked with me as I’m a college student who only works part time. They made my dreams of having braces come true! Dr. Schabel explained every step of the process thoroughly and made sure my teeth were perfect before I had the braces removed. My treatment took longer than expected because of this but let me tell you, Dr. Schabel is a miracle worker. I never imagined my teeth would come out this beautiful. I am so grateful to this office for their hard work and patience with me. Thank you so much Dr. Schabel and the NCO team, this was truly life changing.

What an exciting day!
Our daughter Isabella got her braces off! Her teeth look amazing!
The whole experience and treatment with Dr Schabel and his team has been wonderful. I felt in experienced hands with Dr Schabel — every step of the way communication and treatment was highly professional. My daughter’s face and teeth have changed in such a positive way, it’s beyond words!
Thank you! You guys are awesome! :))

I am not a local attendee at their office; however, I called their office a few days ago and asked if I could get one of my brackets re-​bonded (as one of them had come loose). This was because my doctor who would normally attend me is located hundreds of miles away. In the short days between when I called and how I was welcomed today, the lady who took my call, Tiffanie, had already phoned my orthodontist back home and set up a time for me. The staff was attentive and kind the whole way.

After calling several popular SC county orthodontists, I found North Coast Orthodontics the most helpful. My exchange student from France was having problems with her braces and the kind people at NCO gave her a checkup for free! My student was really anxious about the state of her braces, but NCO professionalism put her at ease. Thank You NCO!

Top Notch! This office is great. The staff are professional, knowledgable and friendly. The office was spotless and organized. They have all the latest technology. The Orthodontists really know their stuff. I went in told them what I needed. They were considerate in addressing my needs promptly and without pressure. I would highly recommend anyone that is considering orthodontic work to go with North Coast Orthodontics.

Best ORTHODONTICS in the business! Clean and sanitary like none other! Friendly and professional employees! A FIRST CLASS establishment in EVERY WAY!

Excellent service! North Coast delivered a great experience and were consistent and kind during our whole treatment. We are completely satisfied!

I just finished treatment at North Coast Orthodontics and I honestly could not express my gratitude and happiness enough. For a really long time I was super unhappy with my smile, and would tend to cover my mouth with my hands when I laughed or didn’t smile a lot in pictures. Growing up I wanted braces so bad, but I don’t think my parents thought I needed them, no matter how much I pleaded with them. Being an adult now, I was able to make the choice and decided to finally get the smile I have always wanted! Once I met Dr. Chan and Dr. Schabel and looked at their before and after gallery on their website, I knew that I didn’t want anyone else to work on my teeth. They are perfectionists, and I knew I wouldn’t settle for anything less than perfect… I had been waiting for over 10 years after all!
My first impression of the office was that it was very clean, modern, and beautiful. The women in the front and who took my exam were extremely warm, yet very professional. Everything was presented and explained very thoroughly, every question I had they were able to answer or found the answer. I felt listened to and understood.
The day I got my braces was one to remember. The entire staff was excited for me, and greeted me by name when I walked in that morning. I was so excited to start this journey with them! After I got my braces on they went over how to take care of them and also gave me bunch of cleaning tools to take home with me. My entire treatment went better than expected and every visit I received an update on my treatment. They were also great at working with my schedule when making appointments.
The day my braces came off was so emotional, I could not believe the girl in the mirror with the beautiful smile was me! I feel so much more confident and find myself smiling more. They even had a little celebration for me, with pictures taken and a candy bar! The North Coast Ortho team has surpassed my expectations and I have recommended them to all my friends and family to go and see them! Thank you so much Dr. Chan, Dr. Schabel, and NCO team, you all have really changed my life. =]

Had a great experience with Dr. Chan and Dr. Schabel. The entire office was super attentive and helped me deal with a really lengthy Invisalign process. Costs were pretty reasonable considering how much work they put into it, and at the end of the day I was extremely happy with the results. Would absolutely recommend giving these guys a try.

Just wanted to make sure that North Coast Orthodontics gets credit for the their expert patient care and genuine customer service. All three of my kids have had to have orthodontics — we used North Coast for the younger two and the experience was better than ever. Over the last 3 years and two sets of braces I never felt that it was a chore getting my kids in for their treatment. The office staff is always accommodating, friendly and welcoming — Ashley (our personal favorite) — definitely needs acknowledgement for her positive attitude and her ability to make you feel comfortable and special. Thank you North Coast — Dr. Schabel — for making my childrens smiles exceptional.

Wow! Does this office have it together or what! They sure do know what they are doing. I was impressed from start to finish. Dr. Schabel is awesome, and his wife Dr. Chan is the sweetest! At every appointment, I am told what I should expect with everything regarding my treatment and I love that. Any question I have is answered thoroughly and with precision. The staff is so nice and I love being greeted by name when I walk through that door. It makes me feel so comfortable and like I am really cared for at this office. Also, they have this new thing called Acceledent that I am using for my Invisalign. its speeding up my treatment! I love it so much. North Coast Ortho is definitely up-​to-​speed on their technology. Overall, I would and will recommend this place to anyone that asks me! I wouldn’t send them anywhere else. North Coast has been such a great experience!

From start to finish this place was a nightmare. We had multiple device issues, including devices not being properly placed. When my daughter’s retainer fell off the first time, it took Dr Schabel two months to replace it. The second time it fell off, it only fell off on one side and the Doctor told me to just leave it in. I couldn’t even brush her teeth! When it fell off completely a day later he was extremely annoyed that I called him and told me «I don’t know what I can do to help you, just snap it back up in her mouth.» He finally relented and had me come in and it took him an hour to readjust the retainer to fit in her mouth without immediately falling off. When we had our last appt before we moved away he told me to keep the retainer in her mouth until we got into another orthodontist. He said I had six months. We got into an orthodontist the other day and her retainer has been forcing her teeth apart for the last 6 months and her teeth don’t even touch in the back. So now we are looking at a whole other set of problems.
This office does not run like a Doctor’s office. They are rarely available, and when they are they put up so many roadblocks to actually helping you it is extremely stressful dealing with them. We paid 1500 dollars up front, and then 220 a month and never felt like our daughter was properly cared for. I had to fight every step of the way to have him fulfill his side of the contract. Dr Schabel is almost always on one vacation or another. His bedside manner is abrupt and downright abrasive. He frequently snapped at my daughter and left a long, irritated message on my vm once.
All we wanted for our daughter was to have the best care. We would have been better off going to Mexico.

Nick and our experience with Dr Shabel and his staff has been terrific, Nick’s progress with the braces has been incredible and the team have been very informative, supportive & positive along the way! We are super pleased with the staff and especially the excellent results after braces!

5 STARS for sure. As an adult patient, I can’t say I was looking forward to wearing braces, but I was looking forward to correcting my underbite. Having said that, walking into North Coast Orthodontics for each appointment was a pleasant experience each and every time, and not just because of their patient & family friendly office environment. From the ‘front end’ to the patient chair, Dr. Schabel, Dr. Chan, and the ENTIRE staff are courteous, friendly and professional across the board. The doctors and assistants clearly explain each step of the process, and are open to answering any questions along the way. Not to mention, I had my 3yr old son with me on most appointments, and he became quite comfortable in the ‘game room’ and the staff was always keeping an eye on him while I was in the chair.
At my first appointment in December 2012, the goal was established for 12 months of orthodontics. Braces went on in January 2013. Because I did not want to keep the braces on any longer than necessary, I wore the prescribed ‘rubber bands’ consistently day and night (with few exceptions). 12 months later in January 2014, my bite is correct, my teeth are straight, and my braces are off!
I can’t be more pleased with my experience at North Coast Orthodontics, and of course, I recommend them in the highest regard. And when it comes time for my son to get braces, I know where I’ll be going. Many thanks to Dr. Schabel & Dr. Chan for a great experience all around.

North Coast Orthodontics is the best. The staff are awesome and super sweet. With the cool technology in the waiting room (including iPads and video games), it’s not hard to wait 2 minutes before they call you in. Which leads me to saying that there is never a long wait and the will always find a time to fit you in to fix a loose wire. When they told me I would have braces for about 2 years, I though the change would come slowly. But in less than a month, I was noticing incredible shifting in my way-​too-​tiny-​jaw. After about a year, my jaw is now normal-​sized :) and my teeth are almost perfectly straight!!! All thanks to North Coast Orthodontics!
THANKS, DR. SCHABEL AND DR. CHAN!!!

We have been going to North Coast Orthodontics since my oldest needed braces and we still have two in braces (whew!) Have had nothing but the best experiences with all three kids. They are always friendly and helpful, will check into insurance issues if they arise, and of course the kids love the waiting room technology.

I knew I found the right office for ortho care after my consultation. The staff is incredibly nice and they always greet me with a smile. The office has state-​of-​the-​art equipment and the décor is beautiful. I actually get excited to go to my appointments. I knew I would have braces for approximately 2 years but I saw a difference with my teeth in as little as 10 weeks! I recommend North Coast Orthodontics to everyone!

Our dentist referred us to Dr. Schabel and Dr. Chan to treat our 14 year old son’s overbite caused by teeth crowding. They did a great job explaining the whole process from initial recommended extractions, to bite realignment and braces. The whole process went right on schedule and was completed in two years. Not sure what they told him about using the retainers overnight… but he does! Very nice doctors and staff. Beautiful, convenient office on 41^st Ave. I highly recommend them.

North Coast Orthodintics has been a pleasure to work with. Out of my 4 children, two have already begun orthodontic treatment, one just completing a 3 year process. I have been met with nothing short of kind, flexible and an incredibly knowledgable staff. There are many times I could have expected less than patient responses to my rather chaotic schedule, however they have done everything possible to accomodate me, have always been gracious as various situations have arisen for my children, and provided outstanding orthodontic care. My sons smile is beyond incredible, and my 2^nd patient is well on his way. I have been asked many times for a recommendation, and I do not hesitate to praise this office and their entire staff!
