A year ago I went for a consultation and met with Dr. Jen. She was wonderful, with a beautiful…read moreoffice. However, her staff, specifically the "treatment coordinator" Stephanie was dreadful. This negative review is about her lack of coordination for almost a year that prevented me from receiving treatment. I contacted her multiple times and through various means (emails, fax and phone calls) as she was always delayed in her response to my inquiries. She claimed that her delay was due to her part-time work schedule. In addition, she consistently maintained it was my insurance providers fault. Yet when I would contact my insurance provider they claimed they never received anything from the doctors office. I literally kept a log of how and when I would contact her as well as my insurance provider. Alas, I finally gave up after a year of chasing treatment which worked out in my favor. I found another orthodontist by the name of Dr. Hickory, who has an amazing staff. Specifically, the Director of Operations Ms. Christy Van Ness was able to see me on my day off and literally just a few weeks later I was approved by my insurance carrier for treatment. Plus, parking at Dr. Hickory's office is free unlike the Orthodontic Studio. I wonder if the doctor is aware of the multiple lapses in assistance? She is loosing business as at least one other patients similar negative experience has been documented here in another Yelp review.

Kumra has been an amazing partner in our son's oral health and development. We got a late start…read morebecause we were overseas in his early teens, but everyone at Kumra has worked patiently and compassionately with our son to improve his bite and his smile. He has not closely followed the protocol for Invisalign, but Dr. Mina has been an absolute gem: giving gentle encouragement or matter-of-fact redirection as needed. Everyone from the receptionists to the assistants are friendly, polite and professional. You can't go wrong with Kumra Orthodontics. (Alas, our son prefers that I not post a pic of him and his pretty smile)

From the…read morehelpful, sweet ladies at the front desk to the office management staff (thanks for the delightful coffees!!), knowledgeable orthodontic/clinical assistants and, of course, Dr. Mina and Dr. Bob, they're all amazing! I received excellent and reasonably priced treatment for realigning my upper and lower teeth to not hit (and prevent damage!) - and it was always such a nice experience. Good people who really care and really know their stuff. Whether you wind up primarily seeing the fabulous Dr. Mina or Dr. Bob (what a card!), you can't go wrong. Also loved that they can make their own "Invisilign," which is a more approachable option and works all the same. Also, the parking garage at 1160 19th St. NW is super close, very reasonable on Spot Hero, and likewise, super nice folks!! Cannot recommend Kumra enough! (DC-location patient).

I have been receiving treatment at Rad Orthodontics (at 3 of their various offices) since I was…read morearound 11 years old. I am now 23. I have received excellent orthopedic work from this practice. Their staff (particularly Jebi, and every receptionist and prep staff I've ever me there) has also been incredibly kind and helpful to me. Dr. David Rad always takes the time to answer any questions about treatment and always makes me feel comfortable. Rad Orthodontics also offers payment plans to aid in paying high fees for things such as invisalign. My only complaint is that Dr. Mehdy Rad has upset me to the point of tears two times when I was still under 18. Once, when I was around 14, I believe, Dr. Mehdy was removing glue from my teeth with a drill and asked me to move my tongue out of the way. He did not specify which direction to move it. I could not remember where exactly he was drilling, so I just tried to move my tongue down. Without waiting more than 10 seconds, he said "Ok, don't move it" **and proceeded to put the drill back in my mouth, against my tongue** My mother was sitting with me and witnessed this. I did not bleed, but this scared me, and hurt very badly. To this day, I am afraid whenever a dental drill goes anywhere near my mouth. This experience was traumatizing. It is just one of example of Dr. Mehdy's lack of kindness and patience. There was still glue left on my teeth after this. Several years later, I still could not handle the feeling of the drill in my mouth or on my teeth. During another appointment when Dr. Mehdy was using the drill, I stated that I needed to stop. He stopped, and then said: "I have hundreds of patients every week. None of them besides you has a problem with this." His reply was invalidating and rude. My problem with dental drills started because of him. In general, Dr. Mehdy Rad does good orthopedic work; his unkindness does not affect this in any way. But he is condescending and impatient. I would not recommend his services, especially to anyone who might be sensitive, like kids. Dr. David Rad is much kinder.

The…read morelocation of this practice is convenient but since it's in a shopping center parking can be full in front of the office but no big deal. The staff were so nice when we came into the office and welcomed us in. The wait was not long and they gave me a tour of the place so my daughter could feel at home if we decided to go with them. Dr. Levine was super knowledgeable and detailed with the consultation. He has 30 years of experience and my friend told me she went there years ago and they did such a great job with her teeth. Reason we did not go with them is the distance from where we live. I wanted to shoot my shot because I heard nothing but great things about this place. Pricing is better than North Potomac Ortho too. Definitely shop around before committing, it makes a difference. This would have been first pick if it wasn't far from home.

I genuinely looked forward to all of my appointments and enjoyed the Invisalign treatment process under Dr. Lavine's direction. Every staff member, tech and the doctor himself were all incredibly friendly, efficient and thorough in their explanations and actions. My questions were always heard and addressed. Dr. Lavine even went as far as to help remove my Invisalign attachments before my wedding, and re-attach them after so that they wouldn't show in my wedding photos. Everyone in this office shares a great attention to detail and they truly look out for the well-being of their patients!

The entire team is incredibly kind, compassionate, and thorough, always taking the time to explain everything and make both parents and children feel comfortable. My child genuinely enjoys going to appointments, which says a lot considering that orthodontic work can sometimes be uncomfortable. The staff is so patient and encouraging, and they go above and beyond to ensure every visit is a positive experience. What truly sets First Impressions Orthodontics apart is how much they genuinely care about their patients and their families. You never feel like just another appointment on the schedule. They take the time to get to know you, celebrate milestones, and make every interaction personal and meaningful. We are so grateful for the exceptional care we've received and highly recommend First Impressions Orthodontics to anyone looking for an orthodontic team that combines expertise with genuine kindness and heart.

As an older adult, I'm not the typical orthodontic patient. As a preteen, many years ago I had…read moreteeth extracted & wore braces like many of my friends. My lower teeth in particular had long ago gone back to looking crowded again & I just accepted it. Fast forward to about a year ago. I had over time, developed a significant gap between my top & bottom teeth on the left side of my mouth forcing me to exclusively chew on just a couple of teeth on the right. I thought that I might be developing sleep apnea, although I wasn't snoring. I realized that what was happening was that my two top front teeth were pushing forward & causing my mouth to open at night! I also was suffering with TMJ type pain, but wasn't sure if that was related. I first brought this to the attention of my regular dentist who suggested to me that he could file down the teeth on the right side so that my bite would be evened out ( really....that's crazy!). I found, through Yelp, Dr Bruno & her team. I'm wrapping up my care plan after using Invisalign for about a year. I'm back to chewing normally, my mouth isn't opening up at night, the pain is gone & my smile looks better than it has in decades; I'm thrilled! If you have any of these issues, you are not too old for orthopedic care. But most importantly, call Dr. Bruno!
