Before diving in, I want to thank Sarah for her kindness, flexibility, and communication during my Invisalign treatment at Image Orthodontics Post Street. Knowing that I live over an hour away via public transit, she went above and beyond to schedule new aligner pickups on the weekday when I'm already in SF. She also clarified aspects of my treatment plan which were a bit fuzzy. I'm over a year into my treatment with new aligners every week and I'm impressed with the progress and ease of using Invisalign. Generally speaking, this experience has been quite smooth. The process of imaging with the Invisalign wand was also a seamless experience and I appreciate the kindness of the staff running it. Little bumps along the way included not feeling heard by the orthodontist when I reported that my jaw started popping. Later when it became painful, I felt like it was taken more seriously. Those symptoms have mostly resolved and I hope that continues. I also wish that I was notified when my initial two points of contact were no longer working at this office rather than email bounce backs/ no response but I understand that may not be the norm. Overall, Sarah's support has been a highlight of my experience, and I appreciate everything she continues to do to help make my Invisalign treatment as smooth as possible. read more

I LOVE Image Orthodontics!! They have been amazing with my Invisalign. The patient care treatment is outstanding! They answer any questions with courtesy and respect. I remember my consultation I was a little nervous but they reassured me and made me confident to move forward with my Invisalign treatment. Another reason why I love Image Orthodontics is the fact that they don't upsell you anything you don't need. When it comes to payment and treatment they are professional and straightforward. I love it when a company has integrity. read more

Awesome team. Accommodates your orthodontics goal. Sara was very kind and understanding with my situation and quickly worked with the orthodontist to create an individual plan for my goal. Highly recommended team! read more

Ms. Ashley at the front desk has really gone out her way to help me! From the moment I stepped foot in there I felt seen. There were many obstacles and hoops to go through to finally get my son the oral surgery he needed. It all started with insurance issues, then transitioned to payment issues, and treatment plan issues. All no ones fault but Ashley was patient and walked me through everything. She answered any and every question I had. I can rant about her all day honestly. The procedure aspect of it was super fast. My son got two wisdom teeth removed and it was less than 30 mins. His doctor was Andrew Weeks. The doctor is a man of few words which is fine I guess but I just wished he was more welcoming. Overall, the quality of care my son received was great. I would recommend this office to any family or friends. read more

Image Orthodontics provides exceptional service. Throughout the course of my treatment with braces through the retainer phase they worked so hard to make my life easier. Ben in particular - multiple times - adjusted his schedule to help me get my retainer fit and was so kind. Everyone in the office and the professionals that adjusted my braces helped me with care and attention to detail. As an adult with braces I was not always the happiest patient.I am grateful for their help! read more

If you are seeking orthodontic treatment, I encourage you to consider OTHER options. The sales pitch may seem encouraging and uplifting, but my experience has been DISAPPOINTING. During each appointment, which occurred only once every 3 months, the dentist would spend just 5 minutes (or maybe at most?) with me. After that, an assistant would take over for the scanning process, and I would be sent home without further clarification. I tried to ask, but I was often left in the dark about important details. What was my treatment plan? I NEVER knew. What issues did I have with my teeth? That information was NEVER provided. What is the name of the orthodontist? That was hard to remember since there was always a DIFFERENT person attending to me during my visits. After 2 years of orthodontic treatment, you might wonder what I gained. [sigh] The answer is frustration, anxiety, overbite after treatment, gum recessions (multiple black triangles between my teeth and lowered gum line), and tiredness and regret of my choice 2 years ago. read more

If you're looking for orthodontic care, I implore you to look elsewhere. Although a handful of staff were kind and welcoming, there are quite a few staff who were incredibly rude and gave an attitude when spoken to. I had many issues with poor communication regarding payments (I had to call to sort out these issues and was very rarely informed, if at all, about these issues) and a few months into my treatment was told that I had no card on file for automatic payments despite setting up automatic payments at the very start of my treatment. I've observed miscommunication between staff regarding my treatment plan and some of the staff do not seem to be very attentive during appointments. I've had to deal with bruised gums and have left appointments seemingly with no issues only to encounter loose wires cutting up the inside of my mouth in multiple locations hours later. The cherry on top was when I received my retainer. Because I was unable to pickup my retainer, I requested for them to be shipped. I was not informed that I would need to pay the shipping fee (which I would've agreed to pay had they informed me day of or later on when it was time to ship them) and only when I called to check on the progress of the shipment was I informed that I needed to pay the fee. I'm sure the photos will speak for themselves, but obviously there was little to no care put into the packaging. Everything, the mold of my teeth and the retainers themselves, were put in a ziplock bag, wrapped with paper towels and rubber bands, thrown into a box, and shipped just like that. Pieces of the mold had broken off inside the plastic bag and my retainer arrived with jagged edges, bits of plastic hanging off, and overall in poor condition. It's incredibly insulting to receive my retainers in this condition when they tell you at the end of your treatment that they will cost a few hundred dollars to replace. Overall, I had a disappointing experience with Image Orthodontics and would not recommend them to anyone. read more

Ada and Ashley have been so welcoming and patient with me throughout the scheduling and appointment process. Throughout my consultation process for Invisalign, I felt heard by Dr.Lee. I had a bad experience with my first orthodontist treatment years ago but have had a positive experience with Dr. Lee and her team. read more

great experience regarding my invisalign treatment and post-invisalign aftercare!! an added plus of going with Image Orthodontics was their flexibility in terms of scheduling as they have a couple of offices in the city where you're able to be seen at either - some of the staff also work at both, so you're seeing familiar faces regardless. in terms of continuous aftercare, i would highly recommend the lifetime retainer. in my most recent visit, Ben was super helpful and informative. not only did he recommend processing my 2 retainers/year at the same time, but also took a scan (vs mold) for future retainers! these were great recommendations to save you the hassle of coming back multiple times throughout the year. overall, the whole staff is awesome - from front desk to ortho team to oral surgeon (also got my wisdom teeth extraction scheduled and done)! read more

I've been very impressed and pleased with the courtesy and professionalism that I've experienced with Image Orthodontics. I especially would like to commend Sarah, Sandra, Marina and Ashley. They have been the absolute best in explaining procedures to me and answering my questions. I recommend Image Orthodontics for anyone who is interested in Invisalign. I'm very pleased with my progress. I've not had the best smile most of my life, but I feel very confident in my smile now. I'm still a work-in-progress. I have a few trays to go...but so far I'm very pleased. Very professional office and staff. Thank you all so much. read more

The team at Image Orthodontist is exceptional. One standout employee who has been instrumental in my treatment is SANDRA.She has delivered outstanding care, demonstrating professionalism, extensive knowledge, kindness, and patience. Sandra takes the time to address all my concerns and provides effective solutions for each one. She has dedicated additional time during my appointments to ensure I receive the best care possible. Her expertise is truly remarkable. Frankly, if it were not for Sandra, I would not be willing to travel two hours to this office. Her influence on my experience has been profoundly positive, and she treats me as if I were part of her family. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the staff, the front desk receptionists and even the billing manager have been exceptional. I will update this review with a lengthy explanation of how my treatment goes when I'm done with treatment. read more

This place is a scam. Most orthodontists will replace your retainers if you crack them. Instead, Image charges you $400 per replacement or tries to upsell you on lifetime retainer replacements. I had a light crack in my upper retainer after about a month and this is what I was told by two people from Image. Before we got to the retainer stage, my experience was also bad but I held off on leaving a review until now. I was told the total treatment would last 6 months, and with near constant wear of about 22 hours a day, it still took 2 years. The orthodontist was dismissive after each additional treatment when my teeth were still clearly very crooked. I felt like they just wanted to take my money and run. My new dentist said it's pretty uncommon for orthodontists to not offer a few free replacements as long as the circumstances aren't weird. Anecdotally, my girlfriend had the same issue with cracked retainers with another orthodontist and they replaced 3 of them for free over the past 6 months. Again, this place is a scam and they simply do not care about outcomes here. I'm switching over to a new orthodontist for the replacements that will do free replacements and actually seems to care about outcomes. read more

Image Orthodontics - Cracked retainer after 1.5 months that Image refused to replace for free like most other orthodontists - Orthodontists Near Me - San Francisco, California

I want to thank Monica, the manager, and her team for replacing a broken permanent retainer for me! I had this retainer for quite a while and when it came off one of my teeth, I immediately booked an appointment with Ada, the patient coordinator, for the next available time. On my appointment day I was kindly greeted by everyone. Dr. Lee was amazing to remove the old retainer as I sat comfortably and Sam, the assistant, was able to put on the new permanent retainer, which feels much more sturdy than the previous one. I cannot thank you enough for taking care of me with such comfort and quickness. The whole appointment, from my scheduled time slot to the end, took less than an hour. I highly recommend them for their amazing care! read more

In all my years of going to dentist this has been the best experience yet. The staff is welcoming, accommodating, professional and so caring. Their gentleness and amazing energy let me know I was in the right place. I have been needing/ wanting braces for 20 years. They have made an impact to improving my confidence and dental health. Thank you Monica and front desk staff (Ashley) for making this visit top tier. So excited for this transformation read more

I've been with Image Ortho for over two years and recently finished my Invisalign treatment. I've always enjoyed going to my appts because the staff over at the Laurel Heights location was always super friendly and accommodating. They always returned my calls within 1 - 2 days when I had questions about my Invisalign treatment. About 2.5 weeks ago, I called Image Ortho because my retainers were deformed. I had accidentally left them in a pair of jeans, which eventually ended up in the washer/dryer. I called Image Ortho immediately knowing that my teeth will begin to shift overtime and asked about getting a replacement. I spoke to a guy who said he would pass the message to someone and I would get a call back. A week went by and no follow up. I called again the following week, this time speaking with a women. I explained my situation to her but also stated my teeth starting to shift and that I needed to speak to someone to see if I needed additional Invisalign trays to straighten my teeth again. She immediately tried to schedule me to go into the office. But because I'm in Los Angeles, I told her that wouldn't be possible. And if I were to fly into SF, I first want to know what the plan was or the costs to get additional trays since my teeth already started to shift. The rep told me she would send an 'urgent' email to the main office and someone will call me back at the end of the day or the following day. 3 days go by and no phone call. So I call again. Third time calling, I speak to another woman and told her it's going on 2 weeks since I've last called and that this was my 3rd time calling with no follow up. She puts me on hold and transfers me to a manager. When I asked why I wasn't called sooner, she states there were no notes or messages from any of the staff that I spoke to to call me back. And her resolution was, we can reorder you your last set of trays for $100 but 'can't guarantee' it'll fit. And the retainer replacement cost will be $800. Why did it take 2 weeks for anyone at the office to let me know this information? And why am I getting advise from someone that works at the front desk? Why couldn't the orthodontist give me a call instead to give me a treatment plan? I would've been more than happy to pay the $100 knowing my teeth would still fit into the Invisalign tray 2 weeks ago. But to tell a customer, especially from a "manager" - who likes to cut you off mid sentence and says that this is the only resolution or go find another orthodontist that's local to you - is just absurd. read more

Veryyy veryyy rudeee Sarah she was not very nice . I lost my braces accidentally and I was ready to pay for the second braces once I went there Sarah supposed to welcome me very nice but she was so rude that's tooo bad customer service I know it's my fault for lost braces but still she had to be very nice instead of acting rude she didn't even look at my eyes she was like get a hell out of here I was really underestimates I felt so bad very rude Sarah . read more

Great, friendly, and informative staff. Very professional and thorough service. I am very satisfied with this team. :)

On a trip through San Francisco I had a problem with my orthodontic fixture. Ada took care of the problem and saved a ton of distractions on our international trip. Thanks so much for the help in a time of need! You guys rock! read more

When first starting my smile journey I loved my experience. Ashley in particular was incredibly helpful and put my mind at ease with payment options and was thoughtful with detailing the care options available to me and set my expectations realistically. It's not easy to take a leap of faith to get braces as an adult. Ashley made me feel confident and excited to do so. Lately, my experiences at the front desk has been bothersome. The young lady who organizes the appointments seems disinterested and lacks phone etiquette. She's quick to rush off the phone, doesn't throughly answer questions and doesn't take accountability when she makes mistakes. I recently asked if they no longer sent text confirmation for appointments to which she said they did. I haven't received one in over six months, which led to me accidentally missing an appointment recently, she responded with "that's weird". I volunteered my information to confirm they had the correct number and sure enough I got a confirmation text right after. It's pretty obvious they have to send the messages on their end and those steps haven't been taken but what was frustrating is rather than an acknowledgment of the mistake, she hung up on me while I was speaking. This isn't the first time that's happened. I've been coming here over a year and I'm pretty sure they don't even know my name. I witnessed a technician while I was sitting in the chair waiting to be seen pointing at me and mouthing "what are they here for", which seemed incredibly unprofessional. I'm assuming they have charts and with the appointment system they have in place I would expect they should have some idea of how far along my smile journey has come along. Even if what I witnessed was out of context, it should not have happened in such close proximity to me. With that, I am pleased with my results so far. My teeth have shifted nicely and the orthodontist is incredibly talented and does have the ability to take care of a high volume amount of patients, however I do think their team needs a retraining on effective communication with patients and spacial awareness. The office could be truly incredible with more hospitality in place. Getting your teeth worked on will always be uncomfortable, but feeling welcome there helps make it easier to bear. read more

Not just the customer service, but the customer EXPERIENCE was great. I was in need of braces and I found them through my dental insurance's website (Cigna). I came on two different days: one for examination and one braces. Here was what I noticed as a customer service professional. THE BUYING PROCESS: It feels like going to a store and buying what you want. I walked in and got an examination the same day without needing to pay, book an appointment, or show my Cigna card. I left with the estimate, payment plan, and contact card stapled together. On the day I got braces, I signed legal and administrative forms with someone explaining to me what each document was for. I chose the payment plan and they accept credit cards. I left with my documents in a folder and aftercare tools in a bag. THE SERVICE: Now, the customer service is what was fantastic. I was treated as if I was already a paying customer even before I paid. I was acknowledged when I entered. They gave time frames for how long I would be waiting in the lobby, when I would be seen, and by WHO I would be seen. All of the employees are approachable, easy to talk to, and work together. During my braces installation, the tech told me exactly what she was doing and what I discomfort I might feel because of it. This type of care was consistent across all the employees. I find it difficult to minus a star. This location could be used as an example in the customer service courses. Thank you especially to Ashley, Binh, Sarah, the doctor, and the receptionists. Yes, I would recommend. read more

Very great service! Gentle with my teeth and check on my dental hygiene. Super kind doctors.

I needed a replacement retainer made, prior to a holiday weekend, when I was going to be traveling, and these folks shined in every way. My retainer was 10 years old, made in another state and by another Dr., and broke into a few pieces on a Thurs night. On the Friday before July 4th I was calling around to every Dentist and Orthodontist I knew (incl my own), and all were either closed for the long weekend, not accepting new patients, or booked. Given that I was leaving for vacation for a week, keenly aware of how quickly my teeth can move, I was in a bit of a panic that no one could help me. Image Orthodontics not only helped me and saw me that afternoon, but they were also super friendly and empathetic to my situation, reasonably priced, and quick to fabricate a new retainer for me in a few hours. My new retainer fits perfectly, and I highly recommend this team of professionals who will take care of you when you need them. read more

Had a great start with Sandra and am now comfortably wearing my aligners. A LOT more comfortable than braces and seem easy to maintain. No parking anywhere near the building so I bike.

Prompt, communicative and very friendly!! Well run office that makes going to the ortho stress free.

Working with Image orthodontics has been one of my best ortho experiences ever. Not only is the team extremely resourceful and results oriented (I'm super happy with my progress), but the staff is so friendly and efficient. I'd particularly like to shoutout Sarah. She's a knowledgeable vet with a chill and kind demeanor...this makes for a great experience every single time. I sit back and trust the process because I know I'm in great hands when she's working on my grill. read more

I had a decent experience here. I came in for an Invisalign consultation and the doctor was extremely professional and helpful. However, when they showed me the samples of what the Invisalign would look like it was much different than what they ordered for me. I'm disappointed because with the Invisalign they showed me they were what I expected. Once I got my trays in they told me they were going to put these things on my teeth to hold the Invisalign on my teeth and I would need to wear rubber bands as well. I had braces when I was a kid and the assistant told me my teeth are already pretty straight so I might not need to wear them. When I asked what they looked like because I wasn't informed about them l, they showed me what they looked like. And to be honest they don't look bad. The part that looks terrible is the Invisalign on top of these dots. Each tray has the bumps on the outside so the in Invisalign is completely noticeable. I've had friends who have had Invisalign and I can barely tell. I had to really look but these are so noticeable and I dislike them. I wish they told me before they ordered all of my trays. read more

I have had a bad experience since Image Orthodontics took over Days To Smile. I received a phone call one week before my appointment asking to move my appointment at an earlier time. I obliged and moved my appointment 30 minutes earlier. Minutes before my appointment, as I was riding the elevator to get to the office, I was informed that the doctor had to leave early due to illness. This "illness" was very questionable since the office called one week before to move my appointment up. I suspect the doctor had a personal appointment which conflicted with my schedule and decided to not see me. I drove 40 minutes and missed two hours worth of work to get to my appointment. Needless to say I was very disappointed and very irked with the doctor. Today, I received an email to confirm an appointment for 4:40. My set appointment is for 4:50. I have a confirmation email that says 4:50 when I made the appointment with the front desk. This random time change confirmation is very unprofessional and very stressful. I have never had a medical office randomly change my appointment time with out verbal notification. I cannot wait for my orthodontic needs to be finished. Dealing with Image Orthodontics has been nothing but stressful and unprofessional. read more

I met with Sandra yesterday to receive my Invisaligns and my treatment plan for the next couple of months. Sandra was helpful and patient, answering my questions while showing me how to take off and place back on my Invisaligns and my elastic bands , and how to use the app. I feel confident that I will be able to meet my dental goals, especially since Sandra will be the one monitoring my weekly progress through the app! read more
