Family Orthodontics - Orthodontist Liverpool: Reviews
Negative experience: Completely devastated with my teeth and face. Now, I have had confidence issues ever since. The whole treatment felt rushed and no attention to care or detail was made. Every appointment it seemed like I was in the chair for 5 minutes and then told I was done. No time to ask questions or tell them what I was worried about. Even when I did try voicing my concerns and telling them what I wanted, I felt dismissed or brushed off. I had to get my teeth redone at a different orthodontist who said that the work I got was messy and unfinished. The receptionist with the brown hair also seems very annoyed every time I try to make an appointment or ask them for something. Everyone else there is nice but the environment is so rushed and chaotic that I don’t feel valued as a patient.
Hi Rachel, we are sorry you did not have a positive experience with us. Please contact us directly, so we can address your concerns personally.
Negative experience: If only i could give 0 stars. Dr Paul and his team was supposed to be professional, at first i thought wow i am very happy with him and I'd like to proceed treatment for my son. He explained everything what needed to be done before braces. I told him I'd like to pay through super, he said yes that is fine, we do that payment option. They never got back to me about the forms to be completed, i have sent them 2 emails and they just ignored me. So i found even better and honest orthodontic in my area, these people actually want to help. I would never recommend anyone to Family Orthodontics. Such a shame that i even have to give 1 star.
Fantastic experience: Dr Paul Lam at Liverpool Family Orthodontics is absolutely amazing. He provides exceptional orthodontic care with great professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine kindness. Our patients always speak highly of their experiences and outcomes under his care. The communication and coordination with his team are seamless, making the referral process effortless. We’re grateful to have such a trusted and skilled orthodontist to refer our patients to. — Dr Elvis, Dr Brendan & Associates
Thank you, Dr Elvis, Dr Brendan & Associates, for your kind words and support. We truly value and appreciate the trust you place in us to care for your patients. It is always a pleasure working together to achieve the best outcomes.
Fantastic experience: The team there is very nice and helpful, always making sure appointments are on time. The space there is very clean and hygienic. My entire braces process was done very efficiently and carefully, no brackets or wires were ever broken. Definitely recommend. Dr Michelle Fong was excellent.
Thank you so much Kim, We are so happy that your experience with us has been so positive.
Fantastic experience: Very happy with my teeth!! Dr Paul was absolutely amazing and friendly and fun each time I went in, my teeth are absolutely amazing and I couldn’t be more happy with my results! Definitely recommend family orthodontics to anyone looking to perfect their smile
Thank you Christabel! You've been an amazing patient throughout, and its been an absolute pleasure to treat you!
Fantastic experience: I honestly cannot recommend Family Orthodontics enough! I’ve just had my braces taken off after just under two years, and I can genuinely say the entire experience has been nothing but smooth, positive, and professional from start to finish. From the very first consultation, the team went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable, reassured, and confident that I was in the right hands. I was incredibly lucky to have Dr. Paul as my orthodontist, he made the entire journey feel so easy and stress-free. He always took the time to explain each step, answer any questions, and ensure I felt fully informed throughout the process. You can truly tell how much he and the whole team care about their patients—not just about achieving great results, but also making the experience as pleasant and comfortable as possible. I used to think getting braces would be daunting and overwhelming (to be honest, I put it off for years while my siblings got treatment), but Family Orthodontics completely changed that for me. It was genuinely seamless, and now I absolutely love my teeth and smile! What’s even more telling is that I’m not the only one in my life who’s had such a great experience here, my partner and her family came to Family Orthodontics back when she was in high school, and I’ve had several friends who have either completed their treatment here or are currently in the process. Even one my younger siblings is now a patients here too! It just goes to show how trusted and well-loved this clinic is in our community. Thank you so much Paul and the entire team! If you’re considering orthodontic treatment, I couldn’t recommend Family Orthodontics more highly.

We love to hear that!
Fantastic experience: It’s amazing, my braces were done well and no problems since. Amazing customer service.
Thank you!
Negative experience: Staff were friendly. However I felt I was scammed. Initial consult is free however Orthodontist wanted to do a mouth scan which costs $70 (which I was fully aware of) in order to provide a treatment plan for braces. Then in order to obtain the treatment plan it would cost another $70. This was not disclosed when I called the clinic asking about the process of braces. I have seen other Orthodontists and they did what they needed without any costs involved and provided a detailed treatment plan. Hence why I felt scammed. As they were not transparent with their costs and process, I decided not to continue with them due to loss of trust considering the journey of braces is at least 12 months. Please be aware of the process and costs with this clinic before commencing. I provided my feedback to the clinic to consider being more transparent of their process and associated costs for future patients. Hopefully they take this into consideration.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry that your experience was not as good as you expected. We would never want anyone to feel scammed. We will take your feedback onboard and will work on our communication.

Thank you for your kind review!
Negative experience: The front desk service is terrible, always rushing and giving so much attitude. The people who work there do not display good customer service which we should be provided. It is horrendous seeing them treat customers so poorly when they are simply trying to book their next appointment. People have schedules they need to work around yet the front desk workers get extremely annoyed whenever they ask for different date options. Even through the phone I constantly feel rushed and their tone vividly sounds annoyed as if they do not want to talk to me. It is understandable as some people may have bad days but I have seen this poor treatment numerous times. They do not even put in minimal effort to try be polite and it is unacceptable, especially if we are paying large sums of money for this service. I am extremely disappointed.
Thank you for your review, and we are sorry that you have had a bad experience with our front office staff. At Family Orthodontics we continuously strive to provide the highest quality treatment and care. I would be very grateful to discuss this with you further, at a more convenient time. Once again thank you for your feedback.

Fantastic experience: An amazing orthodontist that has done an amazing job with my orthodontic journey. I couldn’t be more happy with my smile
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend family orthodontics they did my son braces last month and am so happy and my son said they were so gentle with him he didn't feel it can't wait to see the outcome
Fantastic experience: The Family Orthodontic team provide exceptional orthodontic care. From the friendly receptionists to the state-of-the-art clinic, their professionalism shines through. Dr. Paul’s kind chair side manner, helped transform my smile. I recommend for anyone in need of orthodontic care.
Fantastic experience: The team are amazing! Always helpful! Dr Paul is so friendly :)
Positive experience: At first I was very nervous about getting braces as you hear that the process is very painful but i just took off my braces and I realised that throughout the process it was actually kind of painless. I wanted to add that all the team members were so friendly and helpful. Throughout the process they were very thoughtful and caring. Would ask me everytime if any of my brace wires were causing pain so they would re-cut it and or bend it. For front staff they are always so friendly even during the busiest times they would look at best times suited for me for my next booking. I wished they did offer zig zag retainers though but I do have slight spaces in my teeth at least from the far back top teeth.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. Best in the area!
Fantastic experience: A big shout out to the team at Family Orthodontics, they are so great at what they do!! So happy with my teeth, thanks to Dr Fong and the team!
Fantastic experience: Thank you Dr Tim Sew for the fantastic service for our Son Nelson. I highly recommend this practice for anyone wishing their children to get braces as I know you will be looked after. I appreciate the support from the customer service in the front to dealing with Dr Tim Sew. Dr Tim Sew, you made the time comfortable, safe and great communications regarding all visits. We can’t wait to bring our other children as I know they will be in great hands. Keep up the good work.
Hi Erika, Thank you so much for such a wonderful review, we really appreciate it. So happy to hear we made Nelson's experience a positive one. Once again, thank you for making the time. Maria (Practice Manager)
Fantastic experience: Teeth are Straighter than ever thanks to tim.
Hi Anthony, thank you for your review. We are very pleased that you are happy with your straight teeth!! Maria (Practice Manager)
Fantastic experience: I have been going to see Dr Tim for almost 2 years now as he is doing my adult braces. I find dentists/orthodontists/teeth people absolutely terrifying and only went with Dr Tim because a friend had recommended him and i am so glad i did. Dr Tim and all the staff at Family Orthodontics are so friendly, informative and professional. It doesn't feel clinical or frightening to go there every month because everyone is so warm, friendly and welcoming. When deciding about whether or not i should get braces, Dr Tim clearly explained everything, i was presented with all my options and there was never any pressure to do anything - which some dentists have done with me in the past. Once i chose to get the braces, he outlined all the steps, timelines and provided me with clear instructions about looking after my braces. Even the monthly checkups and adjustments have been quick and straightforward. I really appreciate the time, effort and care Dr Tim has taken because braces or anything toothy is a big investment and pretty scary to me. I couldn't recommend Dr Tim and the team at Family Orthodontics highly enough. This whole experience has been extremely professional, seamless and un-traumatising and i'm really loving the way my teeth look.
Hi Mary, thank you for your inspiring review, we really appreciate it and are so delighted that your experience was so positive, . We are grateful to have you as our patient and for making time to write such a wonderful review. Maria (Practice Manager)
Fantastic experience: Have had a great experience with Family Orthodontics. Dr Fong did an excellent job for me with Invisalign - I'm really pleased with the result and her manner is always professional, courteous and helpful. The reception and support staff are all lovely too. And my appointments always ran very close to time. I would highly recommend the practice.
Hi Jennifer, Thank you so much for your uplifting review. We are so happy that your experience was a positive one and that you were happy with your final result!! Once again thank you for making time for us. Maria (Practice Manager)
Negative experience: The worst experience of my life HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND Dr. Mew Sum!!! Never again want to go here he has traumatised my dental experience for life!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Emily, Thank you for your review. I am very saddened to hear that you had such a bad experience. I note that you are not in our system as a patient or parent, thus we are unable to contact you directly to address this. Please contact us on [email protected] or call the clinic at your earliest convenience to discuss what could have been improved. At Family Orthodontics, my team and I continuously endeavour to provide the best care possible. Tim
Negative experience: Honestly, cannot wait to be done with their service and never go this dentistry again. It is clear that Dr. Mew.Sum does not care for his patients as he is unaware of the pain he inflicts when conducting routinely dental procedure. I had my gums bleed and dental equipment being jabbed into my mouth due to his 'accidents' when trying to clean or adjust my teeth which causes extreme amount of pain the next day. If it was not due to an unfortunately incident I would not ever recommend this place to anyone. Go somewhere else more fitting and professional with their care rather than a distracted and unprofessional place like Family Orthodontic. If 0 stars were possible I would of given it that score rather than 1 that's how badly I rate my experience.
Dear Jasmine, Thank you for your review. It is regrettable that you experienced pain and that I seemed uncaring. Unfortunately, we are unable to find your name in our system allowing contact with you directly to apologise and address this. Please call or reach out to us on [email protected] so I am able to rectify this. My aim is as always to treat every patient with respect and care. Thank you again for your review. Tim
Fantastic experience: I completed my braces with Dr Tim and he was fantastic, the staff has always been friendly and helpful. My experience has always been a pleasure and I highly recommend this place. It’s been a while but I needed to get my plates replaced and couldn’t visit on Saturday’s. Quite misleading when I asked the staff earlier in the week.
Dear John, Thank you for your positive review of Dr Tim, we really appreciate it!!. It has been a pleasure having you as our patient. We take onboard your feedback and frustration regarding Dr Tim Mew-Sum's availabilities and will address communication within our team to provide clearer explanations. Thank you once again for your feedback. Maria (Practice Manager)
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Dr Fong and her office team throughout my entire treatment. The people there were kind and caring and the fees and costs very reasonable too...and I researched this! They explained the procedures from the start to finish...no hidden costs and straightforward. It seems quite busy there in the afternoons, so if possible I try avoiding those times. Was recommended there by several friends and have now recommended to my family and others too.
Thank you for your positive feedback. It is much appreciated! Maria (Practice Manager)
Negative experience: Not a good experience. I have booked an appointment, went on time however i still waited 30-45 mins to be accommodated.. 4-5 people came after me and they are served first. so what's the point of doing an appointment then?? They told me there's 2 doctors inside.. so?? that should make it quicker isn't?? i believe they give priority to people who will pay gold for their braces than patients who only requires consultation. Waited more than half an hour and only see Dr Fong for less than 5 minutes. And what did she said?? The xray said they are not sure what is happening. Better go to the surgeon. Hand me a referal letter and ask for $50! waste of time and waste of my $50. She is not even sure if she has discussed previously what is the issue. Just to let you know DR FONG.. on my initial consultation, you already required me to pay $500 without even diagnosing whats the problem. To add on it, you and your staff are forcing me to have it! Good Job Dr Fong! make sure you talk to your patients in a more professional way and not talk to them in a rush, patients go and consult a doctor because they need assistance. I guess you just wanted the money than actually helping patients.
Dear MSB, Thank you for your review. It saddens me that your experience with us was less than desirable. Unfortunately, I am unable to find your contact details in our system to allow me to address waiting times with you directly. It is regrettable that you felt your visit with us was not of value. Please contact us on [email protected] and we may discuss this further. Maria (Practice Manager)
Negative experience: Unlike others, I see they are very specific only on charges and penalties for changing appointments and charging exorbitant rates. I would check others
Dear Arun. Thank you for review. Unfortunately we are unable to find you on our patient/parent data base so that we might address your concerns directly. Similar to other specialist practices, we provide our patients with many details relevant to their treatment; including fees and charges, aiming to avoid perceived hidden costs and future miscommunication. We will take your feedback on board. Maria (Practice Manager)

Fantastic experience: Family Orthodontics is certainly the best in Sydney to go to. The staff are great and helpful, Dr Michele Fong is undoubtedly the nicest and friendliest orthodontist and Dr Tim Mew-Sum presents himself as a very down to earth. All in all they create a strong team who all work together in harmony. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!!!

Negative experience: No not happy. My two girls had their braces done here, I've take my other kids else where. Don't make my mistake.
