North Coast Orthodontics -- Office Tour

Our Aptos office is located in the Aptos Gateway Business Center at 9515 Soquel Drive, Suite 103 [cross street Huntington Drive]. Our office is conveniently located just off the Rio Del Mar exit from Highway 1 and down the street from Aptos Junior High, Rio Del Mar Elementary School, and Valencia Elementary School (for directions to our office, please click here). Our office has been at this location since 1993.

As we are the largest office in the complex, we have plenty of parking for your convenience. Parking is never a problem, even during the after school rush - it helps that many of our patients simply walk down from Aptos Junior High when school gets out. We encourage you to bring your family and friends to your appointments.

Our clinical area has an open design to facilitate communication between the doctors and patients/parents. Parents are always welcome in the clinic area, and are encouraged to ask questions and be involved in their child’s treatment. We treat many adults in our practice and patients of all ages are generally seen in the same clinic area; however, if desired, we do have a private room for adult patients.

Our consultation room is equipped with computers, a sound system, and multiple visual aids and appliances to enhance each patient’s understanding of his or her specific diagnosis and course of orthodontic treatment. The clinic area also has several computers to facilitate patient education and to help communicate progress throughout treatment.

Our waiting room, separate on-deck seating area and computerized sign-in system helps with patient flow. Our patient “GPS” system allows us to track each patient’s status throughout their appointment to ensure timeliness and efficiency. We provide a wide variety of video games, books, and magazines to entertain friends and family members while they wait. They are even eligible to participate in our numerous office contests.

We are located in a large medical/dental complex, which allows for plenty of parking for our patients. Because we are located in such a central Santa Cruz location, many parents drop their kids off while they run errands during longer appointments.
