The service and standard of care here is above and beyond, from the doctor to the office staff. Every step and treatment was thoroughly explained to us. Everyone is welcoming and caring. It's not always easy to see the transformation day by day but looking at the before and after pictures it's really incredible to see the difference. Would highly recommend this office to anyone in need of orthodontics. read more

Our experience with Dr. Arleen Azar Mehr and her team has been absolutely amazing! My second daughter just got her braces off, and we've been coming to this office for the past six years--first with my oldest daughter and now with my youngest. From educating us on proper care to creating such a friendly, calm, and welcoming atmosphere, the entire team has always gone above and beyond. They've even accommodated us with last-minute appointments with broken brackets, which we truly appreciated. They work so well together and always make their patients feel comfortable and at ease. In fact, my daughter didn't even want to take her braces off because she said they fit her style--and she genuinely loves coming here! Thank you, Dr. Azar and team, for giving my daughter such a beautiful smile and for providing such remarkable care and service over the years. We will truly miss you all! read more

Amazing experience. Doctor is very knowledgeable. Friendly staff and great care. Very good experience.

Great orthodontic experience for my 8 year old daughter. She was nervous and they were so kind and patient with her throughout the whole process. Results are excellent- can't recommend Dr Azar enough! read more

Loved my experience with Dr. Azar and her welcoming staff! Im super happy with the results of my treatment with her :)

I highly recommend The experience was great! Teeth looking beautiful. The staff was very professional and kind. I'm finished and happy

I came to Dr. Azar-Mehr's office check if my retainer/invisalign still fit as it had been 15 years of use. I also wanted an opinion of long term/conservative management of my bite. I had years of orthodontic treatment in as a teen and am aware that I have a malocclusion (off-bite). At the time, my parents couldn't afford surgery so we had an orthodontist who worked with us to get me to the best bite he could though it wasn't perfect. I'm happy with my aesthetics and am aware of my off-bite and it's risks. I told the office this. While taking photos and x-rays, the support staff made multiple unsolicited comments like, "Wow, does all your family have a bite like this?" They commented so much that by the time the orthodontist arrived, I reiterated that I was here to check my retainers, had some questions regarding the long term effect of my bite but that I preferred this to just be a check up. Dr. Azar-Mehr proceeded to tell me that I had a "foundation made of sand," and that any other form of dental treatment short of surgery would just be a "bandaid." She told me I needed jaw surgery AND orthodontics. She said that I likely have breathing problems and will have a whole other host of issues. I told her I had no pain, dysfunction, nor breathing problems to which she made no comment. She asked me what insurance I had to refer me to a jaw surgeon but I've never had any insurance that would cover something as expensive as a orthgnathic (jaw) surgery when the patient has no symptoms or even aesthetic concerns. As for my retainers, she glanced at them but did not check their fit on my teeth. When I mentioned my Invisalign, she did not look at my trays but stated that her office did their invisalign better. As a patient, I felt as if all my concerns and preferences were dismissed. I understand this was her professional opinion but her blunt and uncollaborative language made me feel incredibly pressured to select the most invasive/expensive treatment that didn't take into account my current goals or symptoms. After all that, I was charged a consultation fee and I still don't know if my retainers fit appropriately. read more

Great results and friendly staff! Two of my children have worked with Dr. Azar - one for Invisalign and one for braces. My third child is now starting Invisalign with her. Dr. Azar and her staff are awesome and they really take care of their patients. read more

Dr. Azar and her team are the BEST! All three of my kids had the greatest experience with her! Three perfect smiles, THANK YOU!

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Azar and her team! Hilary has guided me through this process and given me so much encouragement. Dr. Azar corrected my cross bite that 2 other doctors were unable to fix. I will be forever grateful for this painless experience. My smile is literally perfect and my confidence is now out of this world! At this both my nieces and sister are either seeing Dr. Azar an her team or in the process. read more

Dr. Azar was my children's orthodontist so when it came time for me to get Invisalign, she was the obvious choice. The whole office creates an upbeat environment and the professional services are beyond compare. She receives my highest possible recommendation. read more

Wonderful experience with Dr. Azar-Mehr and her staff. Professional, friendly, and highly skilled! Her teeth and smile have improved significantly and we are happy with the results! read more

Dr Azar-Mehr and her staff are fantastic, I am SO happy with my new teeth and new smile! I live in downtown LA and so it was a bit of a trek for me to get to her office but I do believe it was worth it because I received excellent care and I am so pleased with the results. Also, they were always very accommodating about rescheduling and squeezing me in for appointments because of the distance and the fact that my work schedule is kind of unpredictable and all over the place, so the ladies at the front desk were truly very helpful with that. It's definitely an investment, paid out of pocket, but well worth it, not just for the cosmetic results but for the health benefits as well. I highly recommend Dr Azar-Mehr if you are looking to get orthodontic work done. Well worth it, life changing in my opinion, I feel so much more confident!! read more

Dr. Azar and the team are the absolute best! My son was treated here and I saw the amazing results and became a patient myself. The front staff and back office are kind with a friendly approach welcoming environment. Dr. Azar is an expert within her field and I believe my case was complicated. She was able to deliver great results. I now have a straight smile and no longer have spaces or pain in my jaw from a misaligned bite! Do not hesitate to get a consult! read more

Perhaps of all the Yelp reviews you may see on this platform this review of Dr Azar-Mehr is the most comprehensive and complete you will ever see. It is based on a decades long professional relationship with one of if not the best Orthodontists in California. I first met Miss. Azar when she was a student at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry. She was a dental student and I was her instructor. Arleen distinguished herself not only as a top student, but as a leader in her class. She was not only supportive and helpful to her fellow students, but was a tremendous resource for instructors as well. She expertly completed all her requirements with ease and on time. It was no surprise when she was selected to attend prestigious graduate Orthodontic Program at USC. Upon returning from my deployment to Iraq in 2003 I purchased a dental practice in Northridge and was eager to begin a new chapter as a private practice dentist. Imagine my surprise and delight when I found out my favorite student had her orthodontic practice three miles from my office. Every orthodontic referral I have ever made as a dentist has been to Dr. Azar. She was methodical in her diagnosing and treatment of my patients. Every patient I sent her returned with outstanding results. Dr. Azar was always careful to ensure my patients received the proper course of treatment specific for their unique case. After 20 years of private practice I returned to academia, but my relationship with Dr Azar-Mehr didn't end there. I have sent both my wife and son for treatment with Dr Azar-Mehr. My wife has completed treatment and as you would expect the results were outstanding. My son is mid-treatment and the experience has been very pleasurable for him. He looks forward to spinning the wheel and collecting tokens. If you are considering orthodontic treat for a loved one you must consider Dr. Arleen Azar-Mehr. Both she and her staff are superlative professionals and you will receive the best possible care. read more

See all

I came to Dr. Azar with a Class III underbite and a lot of nerves. I needed an orthodontist who worked with my insurance and could coordinate closely with an oral surgeon at Kaiser. From day one, Dr. Azar and her team set me up for success. They explained every step of the plan, including braces, surgery, and post-surgery care, so I always knew what to expect. Adri and Hilary took great care of me at every visit and answered all my questions to reassure me. The communication between Dr. Azar and my surgeon was seamless, and the office staff made scheduling and insurance simple. I was originally quoted two years for the full process, and we finished braces four months ahead of schedule. My bite is corrected and my smile looks amazing. Huge thanks to Dr. Azar and her entire team, with a special shoutout to Adri, Hilary, and Valerie for their kindness and professionalism. I recommend them wholeheartedly. read more

Last year I noticed my teeth moving and I had a free consultation with Dr. Azar. I am grateful that her office is still in Northridge and she has not retired. I trust her because of the beautiful smile she gave my children twenty-five years ago. Dr. Azar recommended Invisalign and I am so happy with the results. Everyone in Dr. Azar's office is as friendly and kind as the doctor. I strongly recommend this office if you are considering visiting an orthodontist because your teeth have shifted or you are grinding your teeth or you need a boost in self confidence. You will be glad you did and probably will not be able to stop smiling. Thank you Dr. Azar and the your wonderful staff. read more
