Dr. Abar is a wonderful, knowledgeable and well skilled orthodontist. He addressed my concerns patiently. Money is NOT one of his top priorities but patient satisfaction is. I felt in good hands when treated by him. Took his time to explain all the process and procedures. My smile is beautiful now. Nice and understanding staff too. Thanks Dr. Abar read more

I took my daughter for her orthodontics treatment to Dr. Abar's office and couldn't be happier. Everything about the office and the work and Dr. Abar himself was great and a professional experience. Dr. Abar really has a talented eye with work experience to back it up. When we first visited Dr. Abar's office, they gave us a great detailed plan of our care process and everything was carried out according to that plan in a timely fashion. Dr. Abar would check everything in detail every visit and tell his staff what to fix and work on that session. The entire staff was incredibly kind and warm and my daughter was always happy leaving the office. Last week was her turn to take off her braces and she was over the moon! She now smiles with a big broad smile in all her pictures. Her smile looks so good that all her friends think she uses some kind of filter in her photos haha. I can't recommend this place enough if you are looking for an awesome smile :) read more

Danville Orthodontics - Orthodontists Near Me - Danville, California

Dr. Abar was recommended to us through our primary dentist. The staff at Abar Orthodontics is bar none. They are always kind and courteous when visiting and calling with appointment reminders. Even through the pandemic, the staff made sure to keep patients up to date with protocols and procedures leading up to appointments. The dental assistants were always gentle between my teenage daughters and myself I think I am the most sensitive and they were always cautious when doing tightenings. It was always appreciated. read more

The only reason that this isn't 1 star is because my son's teeth are indeed straight now. But this is kind of the minimum I'd expect after $10k, for teeth that weren't particularly rough to begin with. I was referred to Dr. Abar by our dentist, who said we needed to have the "very best expert" for my son's "especially difficult" case. I was curious why he couldn't have referred us to someone closer, as we live in Alameda, and the dentist is in San Leandro, but it became apparent later that they had more connection than I originally realized, when Dr. Abar opened a satellite office actually in my dentist's office in San Leandro. My first impression of the Danville office was pretty positive - they seemed professional enough - but over time I just progressively got a bad feeling - Dr. Abar is all about money. If I had shopped around instead of trusting my dentist it would have been half the cost. (This was confirmed this week when we finally visited another orthodontist and showed him my son's treatment plan. He also confirmed that my son did not - at all - have an "especially difficult" case.) Things that left me unsatisfied, besides the unusually high cost of the braces (which were on for a little less than 2.5 years) included - toward the end of our time there - their financial person quoting me a final amount-due cost that was much higher than I expected and when I showed her my own paperwork with the payment record she suddenly found that she had a $279 "specialist consultation" charge, which she then said was covered by insurance, and a $75 broken bracket charge that she proceeded to "courtesy" me, as she put it. (The first three broken brackets were supposed to be without charge, and my son had only one broken bracket.) There was no apology or explanation for nearly charging me $354 more than they should've. Also, after my son's braces came off, Dr. Abar told me that my son would need a second set of retainers in a month or so, because this first set would be too loose due to his swollen gums at the time of the fitting. The first retainer was covered within our contract but the second would be an additional charge. (I was informed that this retainer set costs $450). Of course, this was not mentioned when I was signing the contract - only that the retainer was included, with the implication being that that would be all that was needed. Another thing that left us less than excited was that they never seemed to know we were coming. When Dr. Abar moved a satellite office into our dentist's office we were able to make appointments there instead of having to trek all the way out to Danville, but after bringing my son back to the chair they would just ask him what colors he wanted and they would start in. Eventually, somebody would walk by and ask what patient this was, and then there would consistently be some confusion and finally we would have to explain that we were "Danville patients," because apparently they didn't have any visibility of us unless they looked at a different system. We went to the San Leandro office for a year and it was always like this. Just left us wondering why they couldn't figure it out, and also wouldn't they like to look at his info or know who he is before they start working on him??? In general, I wasn't a huge fan of Dr. Abar's manner, or that of his financial/scheduling assistant - they both had a "don't question me about this" manner - but I can get past that, if the care was outstanding. But it was merely fine, and also way, way, way too expensive. We had my son's braces off last week, made our final payment, and have fulfilled our contract - I would have switched orthodontists long ago if I hadn't been certain that they would have charged me regardless. Even though we will have to pay fees to our new orthodontist for the retainer phase, I am certain that it will be less than Dr. Abar would find a way to charge me (even though officially we don't owe him anything anymore). When we left the new orthodontist this morning, my son just kept repeating, "I like them so much better." I felt the same way - it was like night and day. My advice is to find an orthodontist that gives you that feeling from the beginning, and skip paying $10k. In other words, don't go here. read more

Dr. Abar and his Staff are not only very professional and knowledgeable but they are also very nice people. Can't recommend them highly enough! read more

Dr. Abar ruined my smile. The roots of my teeth had been cut off flat, about 2-4 mm long; hardly any roots left at all. I complained about pain during treatment but he sped up the process so it lasted 7 months instead of 24. I eventually lost all of my teeth from occlusal trauma, so I was basically left with not enough bone to support my teeth. I'd been better off with Turkey teeth probably. read more

Watch out folks!! This doctor is all about money. Mr. Abar is not honest person. You can't have a patient-doctor relationship with him. You could go to him if you wouldn't mind to donate your money for the worst service for the business man. He took about $1200 from my dental insurance for xray and consultation. He will only give you some discount when you could write a good review on yelp or recommend him to your coworkers or friends. Otherwise he could not give you a penny discount he said. read more

My son (10 years old) is still in phase 1 to move his jawline, but my daughter (12 years old) just got her braces off last week (after 2 years and 3 months to fix her over bite). She looks absolutely beautiful with her new smile. Thanks to Dr. Abar and his incredible staff. Love that they are always friendly and happy. Dr. Abar is so professional, experienced, and efficient. I don't remember having to wait for more than 5 minutes in any of our appointments. They get to work right away, and we are out of there pretty fast! I definitely recommend Dr. Abar to everyone! I totally trust his work. He is really good at what he does and I can tell he really enjoys his work. My kids love going to see him! read more

At the beginning, everything was good. Several months later, the 30-minute wait at the lobby, as well as the 20-minute wait in the chair with the plastic mouthpiece that stretches your child's mouth wide open, began to be unacceptable. A regular 15-minute check-up appointment would extend to be over an hour at the office. Couple times we were seen by another orthodontist that we did not know nor were we informed before the appointment. We had to quit the treatment as the scheduling and waiting was very unpredictable and stressful. Our fault that we had prepaid the full payment at the beginning. Now into 8 months of trying to get our money back. It's great to be new patients there. We are now well taken care of by another orthodontist and the result is extremely amazing. read more

I recommend going here all the staff treat you good, They have better pricing not like other places trying to make you pay extra I love it here! read more

I've been a client of Danville Orthodontics for over 10 years now, beginning with high school and into my mid 20's. I unfortunately had to have 2 tooth implants (after one failed) which impacted significantly the movement of my teeth. This missing tooth was FRONT AND CENTER and somehow they were able to move my teeth to get it perfect. I was treated with both invisalign and metal braces at this office, as well as a number of retainers over the year :) I have to say that the professionalism, kindness and quality go above and beyond for EVERY person here. They turned my awful smile into a beautiful one, and were always great about squeezing me in for last minute appointments. Truly made the process as seamless as it could be given its difficulty! Dr. Abar is an extremely kind and gentle person, is wonderful with kids and a trustworthy guy. read more

Was referred here by my dentist. Had my consultation appointment in December 2016 and began wearing my Invisalign in January 2017. 23 months later and I'm done with my treatment!

I like that they send reminder text messages for appointments. Overall, satisfied with results! read more

After being scam by this doctor several times for the retainer service fees which he accused my daughters didn't follow his instructions. We went to another Orthopedics for examination and for his advice. He told us that the girls retainers were fine. He said they took good care of their teeth and their retainers. He told us as long as the girls wear they retainers every night and do the normal cleaning and disinfection. The retainers should be fine. No need to replace the retainer every nine months like how Dr. Abar had scam us. Just be careful and don't be naïve like us where we just paid because we trusted his profession! read more

Heard about Dr. Abar's office through some great recommendations and boy was I happy I listened. For years I'd put off fixing my teeth, but I decided to go in for a consultation with Dr. Abar and from the first day I knew I wanted to work with him. After my initial appointment, Dr. Abar gave me the choice between braces and Invisalign, and really took his time with me to explain the pros and cons for both. I decided to go with Invisalign and I never looked back. Over the next 10 month period I worked closely with Dr. Abar and his staff to fix my smile and I cannot emphasize enough how happy I am with the end result. End product aside, the staff at Danville Orthodontics is extremely friendly and it's clear to anyone who works with them that they're also amazing professionals. Not only are they great at what they do, but from my first conversation with Dr. Abar, it was clear how much he cares about his patients. Whenever I had an issue, Dr. Abar and his staff were quick to book me an appointment and get me right back up to speed. For anyone on here deciding whether or not to go to Dr. Abar and his office for either braces, Invisalign or just a consultation, let this review serve as your sign to go in and get your dream smile just like I did! You won't regret it. read more
