    Solan Smile Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry is amazing! I was referred here by my primary…read moredental office for a correction after not wearing my retainer since middle school--YEARS ago! I had my consultation and was able to begin treatment immediately. My treatment plan was followed exactly, and today, I just completed my treatment. I am so pleased with my results and the entire experience! All of the staff are so friendly, welcoming, and professional. I absolutely love Renee, Nina, and, of course, Dr. Nassiri! They made the entire process comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend Solan Smile Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry to anyone looking for excellent orthodontic care!

    I can't say enough good things about Solano Smile. My son just finished his orthodontic treatment…read moreand had his braces removed today--and to my surprise, I felt genuinely sad (!) that we won't be coming in as often to see the team. That says everything about our experienc From start to finish, it was seamless. Everything went exactly as planned--no unexpected delays, no surprise costs--just thoughtful, high-quality care delivered by a team that clearly knows what they're doing and genuinely enjoys doing it. Dr. Ramtin Nassiri is exactly the kind of provider you hope to find when trusting someone with your child's care: deeply knowledgeable, meticulous, funny, and incredibly kind. You can feel how much he cares about his patients and how invested he is in their progress. He has a rare ability to connect equally well with kids and adults--warm, personable, and thorough without ever feeling rushed. A special shoutout to Renee, the patient coordinator, who went far beyond what anyone would reasonably expect. Navigating a kid's care with two co-parents in the mix can be a tricky proposition, and she nailed it. Renee brought so much empathy, clarity, and grace; at times it felt like she was part patient coordinator, part family therapist. Truly special lady :) Finally, the space itself deserves mention: a beautiful setting in a vintage Spanish architectural home. Original fireplaces, exposed beams, and tile...it somehow makes going to the dentist feel...cozy? Thank you, Solano Smile, for not just delivering outstanding results--but for making the entire experience something we'll actually miss and look back on fondly.

    I met with 3 other orthodontists, and am so grateful to have chosen Dr. Claire Ferrari. I've dealt…read morewith another orthodontist before and Dr. Ferrari has been the best. She is a perfectionist, cares about her patients, and goes above and beyond. Dr. Ferrari is also very knowledgeable in matters concerning breathing and how it is all connected to your health. I cannot recommend her enough and have been so happy with the Invisalign results. Her assistant, Anne is also wonderful. Anne has been super responsive to any questions and makes it very easy to get in touch with her. Adults and kids love her. Getting Invisalign is expensive, but it's worth it if you go with Dr. Ferrari.

    We recently had a preliminary orthodontic exam for our child at Dr. Ferrari's office in Kensington,…read moreand unfortunately, we left feeling very anxious and disappointed. The experience felt more like a factory than a personalized medical consultation. We were told our child's tonsils were enlarged and that she absolutely needed an expander attached to the bones of her palate, which we understood could be painful. Concerned, we had her examined at Children's Hospital immediately afterward and were told her tonsils were completely fine. We also felt that more time was spent discussing the cost and payment plan than explaining the diagnosis, treatment options, risks, or alternatives. Our concerns didn't feel heard, and the procedure was presented as our only option. We spent $750 on the exam and left with more questions than answers. This was especially surprising because we were referred by our child's dentist, who has always been wonderful and genuinely attentive.

    I wanted to update my review of Total Health in Albany, CA. My son and I started coming to this…read morelocation in 2022, and there have been some noticeable changes with the staffing and office decor that have made me feel uneasy. Let me be clear- the new staff is AWESOME! They're kind, professional, and excellent with my son. The dental work is still great, and my MetLife insurance is still being charged, with just a copayment that I get reimbursed by FSA. My 10-year-old autistic son has had positive interactions with every doctor and dental assistant here in the four years we've been coming, so technically, I can't complain. He just got sealants placed on the back of his teeth and once again he had a GREAT EXPERIENCE with the doctor and their assistant. So obviously I will give them Five stars for their stellar work and customer service! I'll keep coming back, but I'm worried about how much longer this location will last. I'm concerned about the staff turnover, which seems to have happened at this location. Faces I grew accustomed to are gone, and it makes me worry. The cozy office vibe is also gone, replaced by what feels like a corporate takeover with questionable decorating taste. They've installed cheap wooden panels with black lines on the walls of the patient rooms and amateurish paint job in the waiting area ‍. Ugh what is up with that!?! The reception counter's been torn down, and the receptionist is now hidden behind a computer screen at the back of the office. The sitting room's been reduced to two chairs, supposedly to keep wait times down, but it feels impersonal. I'm worried about the pressure on the doctors and hygienists to rush through appointments so no one is left standing. I dread the thought of starting over with new doctors and staff. I like having a doctor who knows our medical history and has built a relationship with us. With this corporate vibe, I'm wondering how long this place will last if good people keep leaving.

    5 stars for the in person staff at the Albany location. Great office staff. Every person I…read moreinteracted with in person was fantastic. 1 star for the phone staff. Over the phone I was quoted over $800 out of pocket for two baby teeth extractions for my daughter. She's double insured. We went back and forth on different phone calls about this. When I questioned it they tried to sell me a payment plan. I said no thanks and I would go somewhere else. The next day I got a voicemail about them needing to get a quote from the secondary insurance and that taking 7-10 business days. I am not sure where the mix up began and why this happened that being said I can't trust them in the future with billing.

    TL;DR I highly recommend Dr. Kurtz!…read more I started coming to this office in 2005, when I first got dental insurance through my job, at the recommendation of most of my coworkers who also were patients of many years. Dr. Seymour Kurtz was a friendly, knowledgeable and steady in his treatment recommendations and care, and I was his patient until his retirement in 2023. His son, Dr. Andrew Kurtz, came into the practice a few years prior, and I have since transitioned to his care. He has seamlessly taken over the practice and continued the friendly, knowledgeable and steady work his father modeled. I appreciate that both doctors Kurtz err on the conservative side of recommending treatment, unlike my parents' old dentist that would try to upsell everything and drill everywhere. This office takes Delta Dental PPO (thank you!!) and Linda the office manager is so easy to work with and also a lovely person. The staff in this office has been the same for decades now, so Daniel and Rhoda the dental assistants, along with Linda, can vouch for what a great employer Dr. Kurtz is.

    I can't say enough about Dr. Kurtz - what a wonderful dentist. I am someone who likes to know the…read morewhys and hows of my medical/dental care, and Dr. Kurtz and his team always go the extra mile to priortitize my dental health. I never feel like Dr. Kurtz's office is trying to upsell me on some expensie add-on, rather their focus is on good oral health and bad outcome prevention with ADA-based recommendations for oral health maintenance. They show me on mini cameras or x-rays any time any treatment is being recommended, and why. One very minor negative is that it can be hard to catch their office by phone, so be sure to schedule your next appointment during your bi-annual visits!
