    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)!

From the moment I walked in, Anna at the front desk made me feel welcomed and comfortable. She was friendly, organized, and took the time to clearly explain all the payment details and options, which really helped me feel informed and confident moving forward. I never felt pressured -- just supported and well taken care of. Dr. Rocha was professional, knowledgeable, and very reassuring throughout the entire process. He explained everything clearly before starting and made sure I understood what to expect. I really appreciated how attentive and patient he was. Abby, the assistant who put my braces on, was amazing. She was gentle, thorough, and constantly checked in to make sure I was comfortable. Getting braces can feel intimidating, but she made the whole experience smooth and surprisingly easy. The office is clean, welcoming, and runs efficiently. From start to finish, it was such a positive first experience, and I'm actually excited to begin this journey. Highly recommend Valley Orthodontist and Dr. Rocha to anyone looking for quality, compassionate care in San Rafael!

He had Invisalign started a little over 2 years ago and now has a gorgeous set of straight teeth. They allowed him to be independent in going to his appointments and because of that he had gone from a teen with very questionable hygiene standards to being truly diligent (with no parental prodding!) in his dental care. He managed to not lose a single tray and I have to say it was as painless a process as I could have ever hoped for- considering he's a picky kid, this was the best route for him and I don't regret it at all. I credit the incredible attention and care of Dr. Rocha for helping him get through this milestone. Thank you!

We can not thank Dr.Haney and his receptionist Alyssa for working out the details to help make it happen. Dr. Haney was very professional and from our brief interaction you can see he has a very kind, generous, loving heart! THANK YOU HANEY ORTHODONTIST!!!!

    I regret choosing this orthodontist. What a nightmare!…read more Dr. Haney recommended Invisalign to close a small gap between my teeth in preparation for a bridge. I was told the treatment would take about two years and cost approximately $8,500. I followed the instructions carefully from 2021 to 2023. I wore my aligners day and night, attended all required appointments, and paid the full amount through the office's progress billing system. Unfortunately, the treatment was not completed successfully. When I moved from California to Oregon in late 2023, a new orthodontist evaluated my treatment progress and determined that the Invisalign treatment had not actually finished correcting the spacing between my teeth. In order to complete the work, I had to undergo additional orthodontic treatment and pay approximately $2647 out of pocket to the new orthodontist to finish what the original treatment was intended to accomplish. When I contacted Dr. Haney about this, he initially declined ANY responsibility. After further communication and with the help of Invisalign Corp. he later stated he would send $847 toward the additional cost and asked for my mailing address. I provided it, but the payment was never sent as he failed to uphold his promise to me. At this point, the additional orthodontic treatment I had to undergo represents duplicative costs for work that should have been completed under the original treatment plan: $2,647. After multiple attempts to resolve the matter privately, I received no further response. Because the issue remains unresolved, I have filed a formal complaint with the California Dental Board. I would still prefer to resolve this matter professionally. If reimbursement for the additional treatment costs is provided, I will update this review to reflect that the issue was addressed. If you are seeing this message, it was never addressed!!!

    I've been disappointed by how much the pricing has increased over time, particularly for something…read moreas straightforward as a replacement retainer. There no longer seems to be any consideration or loyalty pricing for long-term patients. After calling around to other local orthodontic offices, I found comparable replacement retainers for nearly half the cost, and overall pricing differences that can amount to thousands of dollars for similar services. I've had orthodontic care at other offices in the past, including a more affordable practice in Novato (now retired) and Wilson, and the quality of results was the same. Unfortunately, this office now feels far more expensive than others offering comparable care. While the staff and outcomes have been ok, the pricing no longer feels competitive or reflective of long-standing patient relationships. I would encourage prospective patients to compare pricing with other offices before committing. Also, most advanced offices offer scanners instead of molds, so much more precise! And now if one loses retainer the can use scan avoiding costly old fashion mold replacement. Probably no good for $ for dentist but great for patients!

I find communicating with her to be an odd experience most of the time though... There are an unusual amount of awkward pauses and a tone that seems to imply I might not understand the basic information I'm being given. I always feel as if I'm having a conversation with a robot that has been programmed to speak to children. I haven't decided whether to chalk it up to personality quirks, which intelligent people often have, or if she's maybe judging my intelligence on my appearance. I may not fit the mold of mundane suburban existence, but I do hold an advanced degree in a field of life science, not that one needs to in order to understand a basic update regarding their kid's braces. Anyway, the rest of the office staff are very easy to communicate with and highly organized. All in all I would recommend them.

She was not only warm and patient, but she immediately established trust with him, allowing her to take all the dental records in a way that he actually found cool and fun! Dr. Carlson was incredibly personable and sweet with my son, asking him questions directly and including him in his consultation. He listened to my concerns, advised on the next immediate steps and also put a plan together for long-term goals. He uses the most up to date and innovative technology, yet is still conservative and incredibly mindful in his methodology and treatment. As a dentist myself, it is of the utmost importance for me that my son has not only a comprehensive approach, but also a thoughtful one considering all the different factors in his development. I value Dr. Carlson's expertise and respect his pragmatic approach. I know he is not only looking at my son's teeth and skeletal development, but also his current and future smile, his airway, his speech, his future experience with orthodontics and how all of this will affect his social development and overall health from childhood to adulthood. Aside from being in the field of dentistry, as a Mom I also need to follow my intuition and after our first visit I know my son is in great hands.

Basically, if you or your family needs orthodontic care, you won't find a a better service or more committed care than Carlson Orthodontics.
