The…read morelocation of this practice is convenient but since it's in a shopping center parking can be full in front of the office but no big deal. The staff were so nice when we came into the office and welcomed us in. The wait was not long and they gave me a tour of the place so my daughter could feel at home if we decided to go with them. Dr. Levine was super knowledgeable and detailed with the consultation. He has 30 years of experience and my friend told me she went there years ago and they did such a great job with her teeth. Reason we did not go with them is the distance from where we live. I wanted to shoot my shot because I heard nothing but great things about this place. Pricing is better than North Potomac Ortho too. Definitely shop around before committing, it makes a difference. This would have been first pick if it wasn't far from home.

I genuinely looked forward to all of my appointments and enjoyed the Invisalign treatment process under Dr. Lavine's direction. Every staff member, tech and the doctor himself were all incredibly friendly, efficient and thorough in their explanations and actions. My questions were always heard and addressed. Dr. Lavine even went as far as to help remove my Invisalign attachments before my wedding, and re-attach them after so that they wouldn't show in my wedding photos. Everyone in this office shares a great attention to detail and they truly look out for the well-being of their patients!

I'm now approaching 3 years with them, and I still have two turned teeth and a new big gap. They are trying to fix remaining issues using Invisalign, but the process has been very long and it isn't working. I regret my decision not to pursue treatment with practitioner who recommended traditional braces.

I went in because a dentist told me that the bonding was loose on my permanent retainer. Dr. Fritz…read moresaid that the bonding is not loose and I can likely keep the retainer for another few years before it would need to be replaced. I had gone in asking for a replacement, but he said honesty is the best policy and frankly, this does not need replacement unless you'd really like it done. He did not charge me anything for examining the teeth and the advice - he only would have charged for the replacement, which he himself counseled was not necessary. I appreciate a professional who is clearly not up-selling. He has real professional ethics and puts patient care first. The staff were also extremely friendly, kind and helpful. I would highly recommend.

The biggest surprise for me is how fun Gerlein Orthodontics makes the experience for kids. They implement a points system whereby kids can earn points for being on time for appointments, wearing their Gerlein t-shirt, joining the book club, etc. And these points lead to prizes like gift cards. They also have video games in the waiting area. My 9-year-old came home from his first appointment raving about it and actually asked if he could have his birthday party there, lol!

Many of these orthodontists now have super busy offices, seeing 80 plus patients a day. These types of practices can leave you feeling a bit confused because no one has time to really talk with you due to so many patients. Dr Sheferrman, even though I only saw him for a consultation and not treatment, doesn't have that style of a practice. The others are not bad, it just depends on your patient-style as to what you prefer in an orthodontist.

I wish I could give Dr. Hickory more than 5 stars. I truly believe he is the greatest orthodontist…read morein America. I first signed up for Invisalign through a Living Social deal elsewhere. Sure, that service was 1/2 the cost of Dr. Hickory..... but that service was run by a non-orthodontist dental assistant! I quickly decided against the cheap route when I was informed that he wasn't sure if my crooked teeth were too extreme for Invisalign. (they weren't) Then I found Dr. Hickory, and all my worries were over. Dr. Hickory lives alone above his extravagantly decorated Dupont Circle office. Why is this a good thing? Because it means he offers Saturday appointments! I've never heard of a dentist or orthodontist offering such convenient appointment times. Just avoiding the mess of having to leave my office during the work-week for appointments was worth the additional price. But the value didn't end there. From the waiting room and from speaking with Dr. Hickory himself, new patients will quickly learn he was one of the first adopters of Invisalign treatments, and keeps up on all of its advances. Apparently, Invisalign's technology has evolved so much that it can do everything braces can, and more. Dr. Hickory knows how to make those advances work for you, with rapid but painless results. Not once did the treatment make me feel sore or require aspirin. This was my second time with orthodontist service. As a child, I remember having monthly appointment with an orthodontist, with a doctor changing metal wires on a monthly basis. With Invisalign, a 10 month treatment only required about 5 appointments total. Dr. Hickory always answered my questions promptly and reasonably. For example, another orthodontist in DC suggested that I get drastic bone-adjusting vanity surgery before Invisalign. However, Dr. Hickory agreed with my dentist, and thought such a step was too far. Thanks to Dr. Hickory, I didn't have to wear a post-surgery brace on my head and drink my meals for a month through a straw. Instead, he made adjustments on the computer with Invisalign to compensate for the slight bone misalignment. Problem solved. In addition, Dr. Hickory took time to personally inspect my progress and order a set of adjustment aligners at no additional price. I had the option to do another set (a re-re-adjustment?) if needed. Dr. Hickory's staff is professional, polite, helpful, and cheerful. They were helpful with setting up a payment plan and are always flexible with appointment scheduling. They posted pictures of their wild Halloween party on their Facebook wall, and you could tell they treat each other like family. My treatment ended yesterday, and on my way out the door they offered me a bottle of champagne to take home. Quite ridiculous, but fitting for a quirky Dupont Circle office. it was very thoughtful. Now, my teeth are straight and I am no longer self conscious about my smile. With permanent retainers installed behind 12 teeth (6 top, 6 bottom), along with a plastic retainer to wear at night, my straight teeth aren't going anywhere. Dr. Hickory's top quality service is worth more than he charges. After 10 years of crooked teeth, I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Dr. Hickory.

If you are interested in Invisalign, I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Hickory at Embassy Row Orthodontics. He…read moreis nothing short of brilliant! When I came in, my smile was fine. I just thought it needed a little tweaking. 2 years later (entirely my fault that it's been so long--I'm one of those "wear my aligners at night" people just because I tend to graze during the day) I looked at a pic of me from 2015 and my smile is SO much nicer and more even than it was. He pays such close attention to detail that you don't realize just how much better your smile can look--until it does! And his staff is fantastic. I love them all but I am always happy when I meet with Carlos! He is personable, professional and incredibly well-versed in all of the workings of Invisalign. Every I see him, I leave feeling like I learned something new. You can tell he loves what he does and he passes that excitement onto the patient. Invisalign is pretty incredible in and of itself, but Dr. Hickory and his team are truly amazing at what they do. Every appointment is quick but thorough (they don't overbook so you're seen when you're scheduled) and the office is simply gorgeous! They may be slightly higher than other orthodontists but you get so much more than you pay for. The expertise and stellar customer service are worth it.

During the consultation the entire team and Dr. G was so informative and gave the best recommendations that will suit my child's needs. I shopped around three different places to get quotes and treatment recommendations but Dr. G got my business! I'm so happy for my child because I know putting on braces can be scary for most kids but this place is so welcoming and my child feels safe! If you have Guardian dental insurance this place is in network too. Thank you for taking care of Mariah! We were able to get the install the next day after the consultation.
