In fact all red meat was difficult to masticate. Yes a real word... So I bit the bullet ( also difficult) and scheduled an appointment. You cannot believe what a beautiful experience I had! The office so clean and bright! Everyone so accommodating... But More importantly, there was a woman who took my information, and she was a slice of heaven! Her name was Joy, how appropriate! She was such a joy! She must had been in her late 60's but by God did not look a day over 55! What beautiful skin! What clear bright blue eyes! Both of them! What a magnetic personality! She made me feel right at home! I felt part of the Lee family! (Except when I stopped by for dinner later that evening they were conveniently not at home) I digress... I was fitted with something referred to in the "industry" as a retainer. Here I thought that was something just reserved for my lawyers ... Boy was I wrong! Most importantly, 6 months later, my teeth are stunning! I have to beat the ladies off with a stick, and boy 'o boy I'm a changed man! Thank you Dr. Lee ... But most of all, thank you Joy! Thank you for bringing "joy" back into my life!

I've officially found my dentist. Dr. Yosi is the real deal…read more I've had a rough go with dentists in the past and going to the dentist gives me real anxiety. So switching was a leap of faith and it paid off immediately. From the moment I sat down, Dr. Yosi made me feel completely at ease. I had a lot of questions and he was very patient answering every one of them. The cleaning was thorough but surprisingly quick, and he gave me thoughtful recommendations for other specialists I should see, which I really appreciated. First visit and I'm already planning to come back for years. If you're in Venice and looking for a new dentist, look no further.

As a insurance agent for over 20 years I get that a lot of people change insurance annually and you cannot help what the policy will or will not pay for treatment if you are already in treatment when you get a new policy and I see people talking about insurance on here but let me say as a person in insurance and who has worked for a corporate insurance company for over 20 years prior to my position now that you cannot blame a office for your coverages or insurance changes over the course of a treatment. The quality of care you get with Dr. Austin and the prices he charges are less than any other office because he is older and has never made the increases other offices have. The finished product and detail you get with him you will not get anywhere else. He is the most genuine person and is very honest you cannot expect not to wear your aligners and them move your teeth. If you cannot commit to wearing them then use braces that are glued to the teeth but do not expect to move teeth with aligners you never wear. Dr. Austin does a very good job explaining step by step and will tell you with each appt. what you need to do or what he has done and the next steps. I highly recommend him!

I had a very positive experience with Abraham Orthodontics. I would like to start by saying that I…read moredidn't end up moving forward with my treatment due to medical reasons, but I believe that they deserve a 5 star review regardless. I set up my initial consultation with Jennifer. It was easy to make the appointment and they accommodated me to make it fit my schedule. When I went in, I sat down with Jennifer and she went over my paperwork with me and proceeded with taking x-rays and photos. All of which were included in my consultation, which was free by the way. She was very thorough, helpful and extremely pleasant to work with. After that, I saw Dr. Abraham. Super nice guy with a wonderful bedside manner. He looked at my photos, my x-rays and my medical history and then we discussed possible options. He was able to do a digital before and after treatment mock up for me which really helped me to visualize the expected outcome. After that, I sat down with Jennifer again, and we discussed the fee for my treatment and options for paying including very fair payment plans or a discount of several hundred dollars if paid in full. I believe for the monthly payments, they just took the cost of the treatment and divided it by X amount of months. No fees for paying monthly. They were not pushy whatsoever. My case is a little different because of my age and medical history. Dr. Abraham went above and beyond to research my case, and was not comfortable moving forward if I wasn't a good candidate . I believe he genuinely cared about what was in my best interest . Ultimately, I was not cleared by my doctor to start treatment, however if I was, I feel that I would be very satisfied and happy with the experience. Additionally, the office is very clean and bright and I've never had an issue with finding parking on 18th St. right by the office.

I went to Abraham Orthodontics in Santa Monica for a consultation about a *very minor* issue -- one…read moreupper tooth slightly out of alignment. Imagine my surprise when they quoted me **$5,500** for *only the top Invisalign aligner*! Their own website says pricing *up to $6,000* -- which any reasonable person would assume covers both top and bottom aligners. When I questioned the quote, I got a canned, corporate-sounding response about my case being "complex" and "tailored to my specific needs." Complex? For moving *one tooth*? And who else's needs would they be tailored to? I pointed this out in writing, asking for clarification, and got essentially the same form letter again. The implication seemed to be: "We don't have to justify our pricing." Transparency clearly isn't a strong suit here. To make things worse, they in essence blew me off and sent me a list of "recommended orthodontists" for treatment, since they weren't interested in someone who questioned their rip-off pricing. One was in Culver City (fine), but the other was in the **Rampart area** -- miles from Santa Monica and better known as the gritty setting of *Training Day*. Hardly the kind of thoughtful referral you'd expect from a high-end Santa Monica practice. In short, the experience felt dismissive, overpriced, and arrogant. If you value straightforward communication and fair pricing, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. There are plenty of orthodontists who can move *one tooth* without moving heaven and earth -- or your bank account.

The staff is efficient, and we never have to wait long, which is a huge plus since that is not always the case at the other offices.

Dr. Gross is knowledgeable, friendly, and, most importantly, takes the time to explain all procedures and answer our questions. We believe in a minimally invasive approach to our health, and he never recommends unnecessary work. Another great aspect is that they've accepted all three different insurance plans we've had over the years, making visits seamless. On top of all that, they have the best toy prize tower I've ever seen! It's such a fun reward for kids and makes every visit something to look forward to. The street parking can be tricky, so arriving a little early is a good idea. 5 star dentist! Highly recommend!
