    Where to start... so I have dental insurance and this location was list for my EPO. I had a cleaning, root irrigation, and X-ray. My portion was about $200 out of pocket (not great but what ever). The issue started after my second appointment when their office was calling me (I don't have a job I can pick up the phone. I work on live power). I answered the phone she asked me if I remembered when I got my root deep cleanings done from the previous dentist... I don't remember but the previous dentist was doctor DDS Cilderman. She (so tempted to use her name) "tried" to call. Which is a LIE. Then said insurance won't pay without the info (which they shouldn't) and sent me a bill. So I went there to discuss. She ran to the back because it was her "lunch break". Leaving me in the office to steam for 20 minuets and write a review. I made the phone call to my previous dentist who promptly sent me the info in 30 seconds (literally) . WILL NEVER Return. Will never recommend. DONT go here. Hope she gets fired

    The appointment I never booked.

They truly know how to make kids feel comfortable and safe. The doctor was so sweet and gentle, explaining everything in a fun and calming way. My kids felt relaxed (and even smiled!) during their visit--which says a lot.

    I had to go into this office two days in a row for my son, and both visits were extremely…read morefrustrating and a complete waste of time. On the first visit, he was scheduled for treatment, but when we arrived, the treatment was not provided. Later that day, I received a call apologizing and was told he needed an exam before treatment. While inconvenient, I understood and agreed to come back the next day. During the second visit, the doctor then stated he may need to see a specialist and did not want to work on the tooth until we saw one. We followed that recommendation and saw the specialist, who was confused about why he was referred and confirmed there was nothing wrong with the tooth. Lollipop Doctor advised she would make a small retainer to replace the missing/chipped tooth so my son wouldn't have a visible gap. We were then sent upstairs for a 3D X-ray, but instead of my son receiving treatment, I was pulled aside and given a consultation about braces -- which we were never there for. I requested to speak with an office manager on March 24th and, to this date, I have never received a call back. However, the office continues to call me and text me about starting braces, which is extremely frustrating considering my concerns were never addressed. This entire experience felt disorganized, misleading, and more focused on selling orthodontic treatment than addressing my child's actual dental issue. Due to this experience, I will not be bringing any of my children back to this office.

    I came to Dr. Bakar after having a very disappointing experience with Invisalign and braces. To be…read morehonest, I was devastated. I felt like I had lost my smile and would never get it back. I felt depressed, frustrated, and full of regret about the treatment decisions I had made. My previous orthodontic experience left me feeling discouraged and hopeless. Communication was poor, appointments felt rushed, and I often felt like my concerns weren't being heard. By the end, I was so uncomfortable going back that I didn't even return to have my braces removed. Dr. Bakar ended up removing them and helping me start over. Finding Dr. Bakar was a complete turning point. From the first consultation, he listened. He took the time to hear my concerns, explain what had happened, and walk me through my options. Every visit since then has been the same. He is patient, understanding, easy to talk to, and never makes me feel rushed. If I have a question, he answers it. If I have a concern, he listens. What impressed me most is the attention to detail he brings to his work. You can tell he takes pride in what he does. As an engineer, he has an incredible eye for precision, and the technology he uses is far more advanced than anything I experienced previously. The difference in treatment has been night and day. I found Dr. Bakar on Yelp because of the great reviews and detailed photos of patients' results. Even though I drive an hour each way to see him, it has been worth every mile. After many prayers, tears, frustration, and regret, finding Dr. Bakar truly felt like an answer to prayer. He came into my life at a time when I had almost given up hope of getting my smile back. I am almost finished with treatment, and for the first time in a long time, I am excited about my smile again. If anyone I know ever needs orthodontic treatment, Dr. Bakar will be the first person I recommend. Thank you, Dr. Bakar, for your patience, professionalism, skill, and for helping me regain confidence in my smile. I will definitely update this review once treatment is complete, but so far my experience has been nothing short of excellent.

    I wasn't happy with our previous orthodontist and we switched to Dr Bakar mid treatment for all…read morethree kids. He was highly recommended by a good friend and we are so happy we chose Dr Bakar!! We couldn't have picked a better orthodontist. Dr. Bakar has been amazing to work with. I love that he is the one working on my kids every time and that he is a perfectionist and wants things done right. He is incredibly kind and patient and good with my kids. And he always talks to me about what he is doing and what his plan is for my kids teeth. I really appreciate being involved and the level of communication. My oldest got her braces off a few months ago and constantly tells me how much she loves her smile. I'm so happy with the results and so happy she has a beautiful smile. Also, Jocelyn, the main office girl, is amazing and so friendly. She has made all the paperwork, payments and scheduling so easy. I love chatting with her when we go in for appointments. I've been meaning to write this review for a while but life got busy. However, I knew I needed to take the time to do it tonight after Dr Bakar went out of his way to help us today. My youngest had two loose baby teeth (right next to each other) that weren't coming out on their own. Today she bit into something that caused the loose teeth to suddenly shift and she couldnt bite down anymore. She was crying and in pain. Today is a Saturday and the office was already closed by the time this happened, so I text the after hours number and Dr Bakar immediately said he could meet us at the office in 10 minutes. He came in on a Saturday evening to take care of my daughter and help her get those baby teeth out so she could be comfortable again. I am so thankful that he would do that for us and just feel so lucky that we found an orthodontist who is that kind and really cares about his patients. So thank you Dr. Bakar for being the best! We are really thankful for the care you provide our family and for the amazing results we are seeing.

    "You have the smile of an angel..."…read more My family of five has gone to Dr. Devian's office for more than 10 years after he was referred to us by our dentist, Dr. Fletcher. All of us have had the best experience that was possible when you tell a teenager they will be a "brace-face" for at least two years. People underestimate the importance of having a healthy and straight smile (especially Asians). However, I have to admit that my new smile has opened conversations, made friends, generated business, and even paid off in compliments. You wont believe how many random people have walked up to me and say, "You have such a great smile" and walk away! Just walk away. I think it's because it's a sign that you're happy and healthy which is always important in the business world. A couple of things to highlight: *** Dr. Devian is not only very experienced but also very gentle. He will take the time to explain every procedure and every tool. He's also very funny and remembers even the smallest detail of your personal life that you share with him. *** The staff have been loyal to him for a long time. They are extremely friendly and talk to your family. *** They have a "Smile wall" in which they display photos of the end result: a perfect smile. I remember looking at that wall every time I had to go and thought, "I will be there soon." It was very motivating. *** Dr. Devian's office is also one of the few that will put in a semi-permanent retainer for your lower teeth and continually fix a nice retainer for your uppers. It has been at least 6 years since I've been back and he still made me a nice one! *** Dr. Devian always has a personal consultation with you and the family when you initially discuss having braces. He set aside special appointments that are after office hours to meet with you and your family. *** The office is EXTREMELY clean and hygienic. I should know, I used to intern there and work at the back. It's always very homey and decorated for the season. Students always enjoy the fact that they have other school's yearbooks. It's such a thoughtful added value. What's great about your orthodontic experience at Dr. Devian's is that every time you come back you feel comfortable... like a long lost friend... His work has made such an impression on my life that I can't even begin giving him enough accolades. :)
