Dr. K and his team are amazing. His team has always provided great customer service during my entire treatment. They have always worked really well around my work schedule and have fit me in last minute a few times. I would definitely recommend Dr. K & his team for your orthodontic needs. I am completely happy with my treatment plan and I love my smile. read more

I wish I could say I had a great experience with this practice. Time after time the office proved itself to be unorganized and unprofessional. Dr barely looked at my teeth during follow-up appointments and there was never a conversation about my treatment plan. The wait time was always 40min+. They would forget to call me when my new Invisalign aligners were ready. One time they ordered the previous set of aligners that I had already used for months. I'm glad I decided to reach out to ask because if I had continued to use the old aligners, my teeth would've moved all the way back. The front desk is unhelpful and not polite, even on the phone. The assistants are always changing which is never a good sign. read more

I had Invisalign done here, and I couldn't be happier. They really listened to what I was concerned about and accommodated that. I'm a voice actor, so I had some specific needs and concerns. Everyone is professional, friendly, and helpful. I'm finishing today and getting my retainer! I'm very happy and definitely recommend them. read more

My daughter went to Kare Orthodontics for her braces and retainer. The entire process took over 3 years and the final results are stunning. My daughter has beautiful aligned teeth. The staff and pricing was straightforward and professional. After the first year, her retainer broke and they were generous and replaced it for her. This is a very down to earth, sweet, caring spot. I appreciated the diversity of the staff and the clients. read more

I have been going here since August for my braces, and I love the service here. All the staff are super nice and helpful, and I have had no issues with my braces here. The interior is very cozy and their quality of work is great! read more

I had such a positive experience here! The entire staff is warm, welcoming, and professional. They really care about their patients and made me feel comfortable the whole time. Shout out to Alisa! Thank you! read more

I will write an update after I see the results from our son's braces, but so far so good. Dr. Karimian (Dr. K for short) genuinely cares about straight and healthy teeth. I went to him for a second opinion when the first orthodontist in Greenbrae/Kentfield (not gonna say her name) advised oral surgery for our son. On second thought, I might review the first doctor to save others...that's how Yelp originally started in the first place. Good doctors are hard to find, Yelp is here to HELP! Needless to say, I bounced out of Kentfield so fast and started making phone calls to other doctors. My husband is never on my side when it comes to good decision making. He wanted to go with the first doctor. I'm like who needs surgery for dental work, unless it's severe like deformity from an accident - all surgeries have its risk(s)! I'm not a doctor and used my common sense SMH! A mother knows best. The braces aren't cheap and difficult to maintain, but our son will thank us later (actually just thank ME) lol. He can't eat certain foods like popcorn, candies, etc. Next step is wisdom teeth pulling to shift the teeth over to avoid jaw surgery. This doctor knows how much I want to avoid any surgery. We'll see the outcome real soon, final stretch! 'Til we meet again ~ say cheese & see you on Yelp (SYOY)! read more

My experience with Dr. Karimian has been very well! I've seen him for a couple years now and he's very precise about my teeth being perfect. I was always very insecure about my smile but ever since I started my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Karimian, I've loved my smile and I've received a lot of compliments. The staff has always been nice to me and lenient with my appointments. I recommend him to friends and family! read more

Dr, Karimian is the best! All 3 of my children have had their teeth corrected by him, and each of their experiences was exceptional (both with brackets and with Invisalign). My youngest daughter's case was especially complicated, requiring multiple phases of treatment over 3+ years, and Dr. Karimian was always present, kind, and communicative. His assistants are competent and helpful, and scheduling and billing were both easy as well. I highly recommend Dr. Karimian to anyone who needs orthodontics - especially to parents whose children need straightening. read more

Dr. Griffin initially approved me for Invisalign, very friendly and knowledgeable with many years of experience. I felt comfortable. My dentist told me I was grinding at night and braces would help to align the bite to the right spot. Also my two front teeth were a little crooked. Dr. K has been treating and taking care of me and my son every since the braces started. Dr. K is very genuine and caring, and always has a nice big smile and happy to see us. Even during the beginning of COVID, my bracket broke and I think Dr. K was answering all the emergency calls himself, he fit me in quickly to fix it when all business were shut down due to COVID. I am on my extended last 12 trays and I am very happy with all my experiences with all the staff here. They are are hardworking and provide accurate prompt service all the time. Thanks to Heather, Rosie, Lordes, and the others at the front I forget their names... Highly recommended, parking lot in the back through a tight alley off of Grand ave. Sometimes there would be someone sitting in their car waiting in the alley totally blocking the entrance and don't know why they don't just back into the parking lot of plentiful amount of spaces. In that case, make a right on 4th ave off of Grand ave and enter the parking lot in the middle of the block. read more

I love the whole team at Kare Orthodontics. Everybody's kind competent and efficient. Dr Karimian is very knowledgeable. He pays attention to details and make sure the end result is perfect. Highly recommend this office. read more

What a wonderful experience I had with Dr. Karimian and his team. He is such a wonderful person, understanding, caring, and will provide the best care you deserve. His team, they made me feel welcome, and made me feel like part of their happy family. If you are looking for an Orthodontist, look no further. You will not regret having Dr. K and his team taking care of your needs. Lastly, I would like to give a big thank you to each and everyone who took care of me, Dr. K and his entire team. Charles L. read more

Wow my daughters teeth have never been better, she has the most crooked teeth I've ever seen, but thanks to this marvelous place she was able to smile again. I would recommend this place if ur looking for astonishing results. Miracles do happen thanks to the wonderful staff. Thank you Kare Orthopedics. read more

I have had a great experience with Dr. K. I had invisalign done to readjust my teeth and the results were just wonderful. My bite has been corrected and my teeth are now straight. Dr. K is a guy who is just a caring individual who really cares about the outcome of your teeth. He goes the extra mile to serve you and your family. One Sunday, my son was a birthday party and had his tooth knocked out. I called the dental office even though I knew it was closed and reached Dr. K. He walked me through the steps I needed to do in order to save my sons tooth and even offered to come and take a look at it immediately, even though it was his day off. 5 stars from me.

Thank you Dr. Karimian! you are a gift! read more

Dr. Karimian is a excellent Doctor. I had Invisalign with Dr.Karimian. When I was done the treatment, I was very happy with my smile. Also, Doctor Karimian and his staffs are very enthusiastic.

must read!!!!!!!!!!!! my previous post is being hidden for some reason so please read it below. it is important for people to know my experience here. i do not want anything in return, i just want people to know about this especially if you might be told you need "2 phases" for a large amount of money. this orthodontist is telling others to write him reviews after he saw my review. be aware of these actions. read more

I recently completed my Invisalign treatment with Dr. K and I could not be happier! I was one of his first Invisalign patients in 2015, and since, he has been nothing short of excellent in the personal and professional care he has provided me. Considering I had very unaligned teeth prior to his office's service, Dr. K was extremely thorough throughout out my almost 4 years of treatment to make sure my teeth as well as smile were perfect. Both himself and his staff were always accommodating and patient to my hectic schedule while I came in for appointments, even preparing me with multiple aligners during my live abroad in Colombia! Overall, Dr. K is an individual who is friendly and warm to connect with, and importantly, will go above and beyond to serve you. read more

so happy with my end results, my smile looks beautiful, thank you doctor and Heather for the wonderful wor.

I started my treatment with Dr. Karimian 4 years ago and all I can say is THANK YOU! I've had an amazing journey with my treatment even when the pandemic had started. I have always felt so insecure about my smile but now with my treatment ending, I have the confidence to smile a lot more now! He has such an amazing team who I had help and met with through all of my appointments. If I were to recommend who to go to for orthodontic care, I would 100% say Kare Orthodontics! Thank you Dr. K! Comencé mi tratamiento con el Dr. Karimian hace 4 años y todo lo que puedo decir es GRACIAS! Tuve un viaje increíble con mi tratamiento incluso cuando había comenzado la pandemia. Siempre me he sentido tan inseguro acerca de mi sonrisa, pero ahora que mi tratamiento terminó, ¡tengo la confianza para sonreír mucho más ahora! Tiene un equipo increíble con el que tuve ayuda y con el que me reuní durante todas mis citas. Si tuviera que recomendar a quién acudir para recibir atención de ortodoncia, ¡diría 100% Kare Orthodontics! Gracias Dr. K! read more

At first I was indecisive to get braces but after hearing great things about Dr. Karimian I knew I had to go see him! Now I can say that it was the best decision I've ever made. Dr. K is extremely professional, detail oriented, and has great humor. It's now towards the end of my braces and I'm so happy with the final result. He gave me exactly what I wanted for my teeth to look like. He is so patient and truly wants you to be happy with your smile. His attention to detail seriously amazes me! The environment in the office and the office staff is also so welcoming and enjoyable that you actually look forward to coming to the dentist. Anyways, If you want that perfect smile, and amazing customer service at an affordable price, I would highly recommend Dr. Karimian for your orthodontic treatment! read more

Dr. Ehsan Karimian is the best orthodontist in the bay area. I have been under his care for the last 4+ years and I would give him an A+++. This is the honest opinion of the Professor of Neurosciences I happen to be. Enjoy the experience. No regrets only gratitude towards this brilliant dentist and human at every level! Try him as soon as you can if you care about your health. Amazing!​ read more

I love Dr Karimian and his staff. I got Invisalign and my teeth were super crooked. Now I'm all straight and they are so sweet he took time to help me with a chip in my tooth as a temporary fix until I see a dentist! He's truly so kind and all of his staff are fantastic. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

Kind, Competent, Efficient & Affordable. When I was a little kid, I was afraid of the Dentist and refused to even consider braces. As a result, I had crooked bottom teeth for decades ... nothing terrible, but I noticed it and it bothered me. Then my dentist recommend to Dr Karimian - he understood that feeling and had a solution. When all was said and done, my teeth are perfect so I smile more :) Dr K is a pretty wonderful guy - his staff is even better! From the front dest to the nurses and techs, everyone is patient focused, in a good mood and having a bit of fun - it makes the process enjoyable. At first it was a bit odd being an adult patient in a sea of teenagers, but I wasn't the only one - you won't be either. Don't wait another decade to get your teeth fixed, go have it done; it's absolutely worth it. Dr K is The Man - you'll like him (which is important) and he will do great work - he's a perfectionist ... basically a Tooth Artist :) read more

When it comes to orthodontists there are many to choose from. But it's not hard to like Dr. Karimian. He is a very talented Doctor with a big smile. He is someone that I will sent in all my family and friends. His office is very modern with a warm environment. He has personally shown some of his very difficult cases to me and the results were astonishing. read more

This doctor immediately stood out for his ability to listen, pay attention, make you feel comfortable and cared for! I have never felt more secure and at ease in hands of a dentist. Dr. Karimian went well beyond the expectations of standard care, and it is my pleasure to make that known to anyone seeking a great dentist. I don't want to digress with the nitty-gritty of my teeth work, but let me tell you this, Dr. Karimian knows exactly how to make the pain go away and to keep it that way - he's very conscious of patient's comfort, and I was thankful to know that he responded to all my pain cues. Work's done quick, thoroughly, and courteously. What else could I - or anyone - wish for? One more secret - he never really tried to be nice, you know like some people do and it is so obvious. He IS in fact really nice like that WITHOUT trying, I think that's just his natural state of being, his personality. Really few people, less doctors, out there like that! read more

Dr. K is a great doctor who cares about his patients dearly. My parents went to him after looking for a second on what to do for my crooked teeth, it was told that I'd have to have jaw surgery in order to have braces, but luckily my parents found him, for if they didn't I'd have to go through an uncertain surgery. I must thank him and his team for the help and effort they have put in order to give me the smile I desired! read more

Dr. Karimian is great. My twin boys just got their braces off and their teeth look wonderful. Dr. Karimian is personable, professional and super competent. His staff are always gracious and the office looks wonderful. I felt that his prices were really fair especially given the level of care my boys received. It has been a great experience from beginning to end. I would highly recommend Dr. Karimian and Kare Orthodontics! read more

About six months ago, I was made aware that I needed braces. On a limited budget, I was willing to commute for an Orthodontist that I could trust. I set out for several Informational interviews. I went from North to South Bay, got five quotes ranging from $4,500- $12,000.00. I learned that Orthodontics is not an exact science, more like life itself- always improving and growing. Each Doctor has a slightly different approach. Choosing Kare Orthodontics, Dr. Ehsan Karimian DDS, MSD, has been the best decision I have made all year. I am proud of myself for making this choice. It took a few steps to find the best doctor for my needs. This doctor's office is friendly, clean, this whole team is easy to communicate with. It seems to me, Doctor Karimian uses cutting edge technology, his efficiency, his many accomplishments in the field of Orthodontics- to ensure successful results for his patients. As a result, I am always feeling very grateful and thankful when I smile. Phewph, I finally am enjoying my smile and experiencing a great improvement in my life. A beautiful smile can brighten up almost anyone ;)) Thank You Kare Orthodontics! read more

I was looking for a professional & five stars dentist for my Invisalign project & someone recommended doctor EHSAN KARIMIAN, now I finished my treatment with him & very happy with the result, he brought back my confidence plus a nice shiny smile on my face! Thanks again read more

Dr Karimian is such a good guy - he fit me in for a scan at very short notice and it is much appreciated. The practice is well-located and the staff very friendly and efficient. Many thanks to you all. read more

I had braces for about 4 years and the whole time I was seen by Dr.Griffin. Such a friendly and kind dentist. At the time my braces were coming off they brought in Dr.K and this is where the dentist office took a turn for the worst. From the moment I got my braces off and was given retainers I was assigned to Dr.K who would make my experience there just terrible. Every appointment with Dr.K would consist of me going to the office and waiting 10-15 minutes just to sit in the chair for what felt like seconds. He would merely look at my teeth sometimes just at a glance and then walk out telling the dental assistant I could make another appointment for 6-8 weeks from then after barely looking at my teeth. His appointments made me feel as if my money was just all he was after. After I finished payment of my braces that's when I would only be seen for maximum 5 minutes per appointment. Things were much different when Dr.Griffin was in charge and had the help of Dr.Carol. They actually took the time to explain everything to you and be there during the whole process. There's many Orthodontists around the Bay Area who take better care of their patients. Please reconsider going somewhere else do your research and find another Orthodontist someone who actually cares about their patients!!! read more

They truly 'care'! Visiting from Texas and had an emergency with son's braces. Called 6-8 other orthodontists and got the answer of we can't touch anyone else's brace work unless you transfer full care to us. These guys were happy to help, didn't make me do a bunch of paperwork, made the fix in 2min and didn't charge me a penny! If they treat a non-customer this way I can only imagine how great they are with their regulars!!! read more

I am so happy that I found Dr. Ehsan Karimian though my son (he is also was my son's dentist)! He gave me a new perspective because he truly cares about us, the patients. Dr. Karimian has extensive experience and is very knowledgeable. He is patient and very gentle to his patients. My jaw was out of alignment and my smile was crooked. Dr. Karimian realigned my jaw and it saved my smile! I would recommend all my friends and family to go to him and I will definitely follow him wherever he will practice in the future. read more

Dr. Karimian is an excellent dentist. I was very lucky to have him work on my crown at the Buchanan Dental Center. He is an expert technician, knowledgeable and VERY GENTLE. I had a traumatic experience at a dentist and was wary. Dr. Karimian was so gentle, professional, understanding and kind, I lost any apprehension I had. I trust him to do the best possible dental work with little or no pain. I highly recommend his work and will continue to go to him for dental services. read more

This place is awesome! Office is beautiful, orthodontist is superb, staff are friendly and nice. I strongly recommend them to everyone. They really know how to take care of you and financially they work with you until it meets your needs. read more
