Anyway, I feel like I was being sold a car by a sales person and I don't feel good coming out of the office. I'm getting a second opinion and will give my business to someone else more genuine.

When discussing treatment she laid out my options clearly for me and I never got the impression she was trying to sell me on anything, let alone anything unnecessary.

Dr. Hom is amazing at what he does. I took my daughter to him for braces and from the very…read morebeginning, his office staff and Dr. Hom have always been very kind and offered top quality care. He knows what he's doing, he recommend some teeth removal before getting started so that my daughter could keep all her natural teeth (she had some missing adult teeth that would've never came in) and not worry about wisdom teeth coming in later on and making the teeth shift again. He also recommend an oral surgeon for the teeth removal and everything went smoothly! We are currently on the last phase of braces, my daughter's braces came off this week and now we just have retainers. His timing on how long treatment will be is spot on. His office works so well as a team there are no delays, everything gets done quick but efficient. Appointments are always on time, which I loved because we have a busy schedules. I read a comment here where someone said Dr.Hom didn't have any bedside manner. I disagree, Dr.Hom, doesn't have what some would call an "animated" personality but that doesn't mean he doesn't have bedside manner. I thought his bedside manner was great, has always been nice and friendly and he's very straight forward which is what we need to hear when it comes to any type of care. He always answered my questions and made sure I understood what was going on. I never felt like he didn't have any bedside manner. I cannot recommend Dr.Hom and his office enough!! I am so glad that I chose him to take care of my daughter smile!! You can tell he cares about his patients. Thank you Dr.Hom and staff!!

We decided to get a 2nd opinion from Gimlen and we are so glad we did. Not only did our youngest daughter not need orthodontics immediately but we continued to do regular 6 month check-ins for 2 years before actually starting her. That saved us so much time, efficiency/effectiveness of treatment, and money. Gimlen's staff are all extremely caring, friendly, and professional. Both of our daughters are very happy with our results thus far. We opted for Invisalign (which I was initially opposed to) because Dr. Gimlen is a Diamond provider. Best decision we made & we highly recommend Dr. Gimlen!

There are not enough stars on Google for Dr. Maryam Bakhtiyari. Truly…read more (FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE TO READ, HERE IS MY QUICK REVIEW .... 100/10 recommend) For my folks who like context, keep reading. What makes this story so incredible is that it started completely by chance. We met at a restaurant when my son was about 6 years old, (he's 14 now) and somehow the conversation turned to his underbite. As a mother who ALSO grew up with a severe underbite, I immediately assumed he was headed down the same path I was... major jaw surgery at some point. I had surgery myself years ago, and let's just say it was not easy physically or emotionally. Dr. Bakhtiyari looked at me and confidently said something that completely changed the trajectory of my son's life: "If you bring him to me early enough, we can fix this without surgery." At the time, I honestly did not fully believe it. But WOW was she right. Now let me tell you... my son was probably one of her most difficult patients. I'm not exaggerating when I say I think he lost or broke EVERY bracket, retainer, rubber band, appliance... literally everything possible. Following directions? Not his strong suit. Yet somehow Dr. Bakhtiyari handled every setback with patience, kindness, grace, and humor. HER PATIENCE IS UNMATCHED. I genuinely do not know another doctor who could have stayed so calm and encouraging through the chaos we brought into that office. And beyond being brilliant at what she does, her spirit is just as beautiful as she is. Every visit felt warm, welcoming, and easy. The office staff are also some of the kindest people you will ever meet. It honestly feels like walking into a place where people truly care. Fast forward a little... because we were spending so much time there anyway, I casually asked about doing a small cosmetic touch up for myself. My teeth looked completely "fine" but I just wanted a little vanity project. But then Dr. Bakhtiyari looked deeper. After reviewing my scans and X-rays, she discovered that the jaw surgery I had years ago had actually created serious airway issues. She started asking me questions: "Do you struggle with sleep?" "Fatigue?" "Memory issues?" "Constant yawning?" "Brain fog?" I answered yes to almost everything... but the scary part was that I thought all of that was NORMAL LIFE. I thought being exhausted all the time was just adulthood. I thought constantly losing my keys and forgetting things was just stress. And then she explained something that honestly changed my life: "Your brain is fighting for oxygen." I cannot explain the emotion of realizing that so many things I had accepted as "normal chaos" were actually connected to my airway and bite. We started down our path of manually reversing years of damage with braces and banding, my life literally started changing. I started sleeping better. My memory improved. The constant exhaustion lifted. 20+ pounds came off naturally. My face slimmed down. I stopped constantly losing things. I had energy again. My quality of life improved in ways I cannot even fully describe. And somehow through ALL of this, every single office visit was quick, painless, on time, organized, and stress free. Dr. Maryam Bakhtiyari is not just an orthodontist. She is life changing. She gave my son the opportunity to avoid surgery, and she unknowingly helped give ME my life back after a surgery that caused years of hidden issues. I get my braces off today, and honestly I'm emotional writing this because this journey has been so much bigger than teeth. But also, my teeth look gorgeous!!! If you are looking for an orthodontist for your child OR yourself... stop searching. You found her. With LOVE, RESPECT & GRATITUDE Janelle & Noah
