    This was last Thursday at 11:54 am they were closed, not a soul in the office but online it was listed as open.

    Absolutely terrible at communication. They did a good job at straightening my first daughter's teeth, but their communication is awful.Multiple phone calls for a call back. I went there last week in the middle of the day to just finally get a hold of them for my second child and they were closed.

    High recommended Impress at San Francisco, CA. Everyone is very friendly & welcoming. A tranquil atmosphere makes for a truly welcoming experience. It's my first time doing the aligners since I got here from other country, my dentist doesn't recommend doing braces/aligners but since I'm very anxious with my smile. My co-worker recommended me the Impress when I mentioned I want to fix the gap on my teeth. Impressed definitely fixed my smile. Thank you to Dr. A & Dani for explaining the process from the beginning to end of my journey for aligners, and also helping me out fixing my teeth. Dr. A even polished my teeth before going on my trip. My friends & family noticed how the gap of my teeth are closed. 100% recommended when you are considering aligners! Thank you Impress for making it happen & making me smile more!

    New cutting edge technology that reduces overhead to pass on savings onto patients via patented software built ground up with 3 dimensional X-ray that does precise custom tooth movement. Lower price point not compromising quality but by building the software to move teeth and reducing in patient visits. Dr. Aggie Varady is a very passionate orthodontist that joined 2 years ago. Plan is Consultation appointment, 2nd appointment, and final stretch appointment with weekly check in photos app for communication. Recommend with my utmost respectful regard!

    Just an fyi, this number doesn't go to the office either. I am so disappointed in this clinic. I guess we don't really have an orthodontist. All get is an overseas call center that doesn't do anything at all and figure it out for ourselves. I've… Read more

    This review is long overdue! Dr. Rabanus truly saved my teeth, and I couldn't be happier that I…read morefound him. I took a leap of faith by choosing him based solely on online reviews, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. After a devastating experience with my lifelong childhood dentist--someone I trusted completely--I was left with a botched veneer/crown case that caused me so much stress and regret. From my very first consultation, Dr. Rabanus took the time to explain exactly what had happened to my teeth, walked me through every step of the revision process, and created a clear plan to restore my smile. He was incredibly compassionate, patient, and understanding of everything I had been through. He truly held my hand through the entire process and made me feel heard and supported. Thanks to Dr. Rabanus, I no longer have sensitivity, the unnatural yellow color is gone, and I finally have the smile I always hoped for. I honestly couldn't be happier with the results. I recently found a new general dentist for my routine cleanings, and without me even mentioning who did my work, he said my veneers and crowns were some of the best he had ever seen. His exact words were, "Whoever did your veneers and crowns did an excellent job--they're sealed perfectly." After everything I went through before finding Dr. Rabanus, hearing that from another dental professional was incredibly reassuring and meant the world to me. If you're looking for someone who is exceptionally skilled, verrrrrry meticulous, honest, and genuinely cares about his patients, I cannot recommend Dr. Rabanus enough. I will always be grateful for what he did for me. Hopefully this review is found by someone "like me" who is solely going off of reviews.

    I have a pretty complicated case - crossbite + front incisor implant. I had some crowns done by a…read moredifferent cosmetic dentist several years ago, but was never really happy with them. I decided to see Dr. Rabanus for a consultation after seeing his glowing reviews here. Consultation: The consultation was straightforward. He explained my case difficulties in a very straightforward, matter-of-fact manner. He felt confident he could dramatically improve my smile. He also suggested some additional lower veneers, which I agreed with. It was clear he knew what he was talking about, and showed me photos from other cases to give me additional confidence in my decision. I was IN. The Process: The procedures themselves were straightforward. First session was to get molds for temporaries. Second to remove the crowns and prep teeth for veneers. Third was to install the permanent crowns (had to do a minor do-over on one set - see below). Took about a month. Dr Rabanus also works weekends or late evenings too which is great for busy professionals like me. Results: The results? ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR. I am so happy with my smile now. As Austin powers said- "I got my mojo back"! Everything from the color to the shape is gorgeous. Just the right shade of white to be eye catching without being obvious (e.g. NOT fake Hollywood blinding white). I've got many - many - compliments on my smile. I have never met someone who is so particular abut the results of his work and so determined to ensure his work is EXACTLY what I want. As an example, he sent the crowns back to the lab because they were not the precise shape he wanted (I couldn't tell the difference, but he could.) Pros: - Extremely meticulous and conscientious - Confident and capable. Stays on top of the latest research and techniques (in addition to his Dental degree, he also has a PhD). - Provides clear options and ideas on type of restorative work to be done. I appreciate him sharing his thinking process and how he arrives at the treatment plan he recommends. - Never "pushes" treatment options. Final decision is always up to the Patient. Cons: - None I can think of. Personality wise, I am very type A, so I am very involved in, and always need to know lots of details about, the care and treatment plans. Dr. Rabanus is unfailingly respectful - I found him to be an excellent partner in my care. Summary: I highly recommend Dr. Rabanus. The quality of his work is beyond superb. A modern day Da Vinci, he couples an artist's eye with a scientist's focus on perfection - it's a rare and unusual combination that produces really extraordinary results. You will be very happy with the results of his work. I know I am.

I reached out to Robert Soto (I believe 2-3 months before my wedding) and he was so quick to get back to me with an estimate, and even more impressive, a full video describing the procedure and my specific smile! I was instantly sold and the team worked hard to schedule the consultation and other appointments to get the veneers ready in time for my wedding! The office was also so clean and I loved the iPad set up to watch shows during the procedures with comfy headphones - such a nice addition! The whole process felt so organized and seamless, Dr. Soto made me feel instantly at ease, and I ended up getting the top front four teeth done to also correct for some spacing that I've been self conscious about since middle school!

Nevertheless, she asked me why I was calling. You don't review your messages before calling someone back? On top of this, she was rude, short, unfriendly, and uncooperative. She told me Soto is only doing cosmetic and no general dentistry now. Told her I need 4-6 implant crowns. She said he's only doing veneers and full smile makeovers. Are crowns not cosmetic? I don't know how these people get hired with such abysmal people skills. In any event, I won't ever know if his work is any good or not, only that this office staff was a huge turn-off. Train your employees properly, people. They are a reflection of you and your business.

Ever since treatment my jaw click is terrible, it clicks and cracks constantly. An issue I never had. Additionally my lower front teeth show lots of wear. I got my 5 year scans done (a little late) last month and I have significant root degradation of my two upper front teeth. I have decades of teeth scans and the degradation only started after her treatment. Today I saw a different orthodontist - the changes that Dr. Cheng made to my bite makes my lower teeth contact my upper front teeth. It's lots of force to my front teeth. It's likely that their treatment and changes to my bite caused this. Not only has that constant contact likely caused root deterioration, I've had jaw pain and clicking, and my lower teeth are worn. I will be redoing Invisalign with a new ortho to correct these issues.

As a concerned patient, I asked for basic guidance on proper flossing technique so I could avoid this happening again. Dr. Ordonez refused and said that kind of education is "usually for cleanings" and that I should schedule one instead. That felt dismissive given it was directly related to why I was there. During the procedure, an instrument contacted my upper tooth and Dr. Ordonez said "sorry" at the time. That evening, after the numbness wore off, my wife noticed a chip on that upper tooth that wasn't there before. The next morning (Feb 11) I called the office to report it. The practice manager/front desk (Randy) was dismissive and said, "we don't know when we can get you in," and suggested 2 PM. I explained 1 PM was the only time I could make due to work. He said "maybe we can get you in" and wouldn't confirm until I called back again and pushed for it. Before being seen, I told the front desk I was uncomfortable returning to Dr. Ordonez and asked to see a different dentist. That request was refused. During the Feb 11 visit, Dr. Ordonez was defensive and denied responsibility. When I said her instrument hit my tooth the day before and she had said "sorry," she said she didn't remember and would need to "check her notes." I was also told the notes weren't even completed yet, which didn't inspire confidence. When I asked if the edge could be polished, she said she didn't want to because I would "just come back and complain that it's too short." She also said words to the effect of, "I can't help it if you don't take good care of your teeth," which felt like blaming me rather than addressing what happened. The tone was dismissive and confrontational. A small composite repair was placed, but the way this was handled--from the front desk to the dentist--was not professional or patient-centered. I escalated this to the owner, Dr. Growney, and his response was to defend the office and minimize what happened rather than address the conduct, the refusal to let me see another dentist, or the dismissive communication. The overall message was essentially: "We did nothing wrong," which felt like enabling this behavior instead of holding anyone accountable. Mistakes can happen. How you handle them matters. In this case, the defensiveness, refusal to accommodate, and dismissive responses from the dentist, the front desk, and the owner were the real problem. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this practice.
