    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)

    I went to Kumra Orthodontics after dealing with a dental issue that had impacted my appearance--and…read moremy confidence--for nearly a year. Due to an issue with my bite, I kept biting my lip, which caused swelling and scar tissue. It became noticeable when I ate and talked, and it honestly made me shy away from social interactions. I kept putting off seeing an orthodontist, and after this experience, I truly wish I hadn't. My free consultation was better than I could have imagined. From the initial phone intake to the stunning, luxurious office, every single staff member was friendly, caring, and genuinely invested in making me feel comfortable. The entire experience felt thoughtful and personalized, and I walked away feeling fully informed about my care and next steps. Jessica handled my intake and X-rays and made the entire process completely stress-free. She took the time to get to know me as an individual, asked thoughtful questions about my concerns and hopes, and was clearly knowledgeable and capable. Viviana, the practice manager, is truly an angel on earth. She radiates warmth and kindness and clearly loves what she does--it shows in every interaction. I had absolutely no reservations or fear because of her care and reassurance. And Dr. Mina... I don't even have the words. She was honest, compassionate, and incredibly thorough. I never once felt pressured into an expensive or unnecessary treatment. We reviewed my X-rays together, she answered every question, and we came up with a plan that was conservative, affordable, and effective. They also referred me to an oral surgeon to evaluate the scar tissue on my lip to determine whether it would resolve on its own or needed to be addressed. That level of care and foresight truly meant so much to me. I walked in terrified and resigned to the idea that I might need braces. Instead, after discussing my options, I ordered retainers. Viviana did my scans and talked me through everything so I felt completely at ease. They even put in a rush order so I wouldn't have to be uncomfortable any longer than necessary. I am beyond grateful for this team and will absolutely be a lifelong patient. If you're considering orthodontic care--don't go anywhere else. Just go to Kumra Orthodontics.

    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.

    PLEASE READ!!! I've taken a while to write this review since it really upsets me. This office is…read morenothing like I expected. Please do not be fooled my the glitz and glam of the place. Although I have much to say, Let me just summarize my experience briefly. My initial appointment was..... great. But I was blinded. I came in for a consultation and ended up getting braces that very same day thinking wow such great service how quickly they "understood my needs" WRONG Dr. Markova is MONEY HUNGRY!!!!! From this day on my entire experience was RUSHED. Verbatim this office specifically RUSHES the process of braces. Before my braces being removed and throughout the process I worked with both Dr. Markova & Dr. Thai. (Constantly stressing my bottom teeth) I noticed i stopped being scheduled to see Dr. Markova once she took my braces off even AFTER I shared my concerns pertaining my bottom teeth STILL being crooked. Dr. Markova simply brushed it off stating I was good and ready looked me in my face and said "the retainer will fix that problem". She is super fake, snotty, stuck up and inconsiderate and very UNWILLING. Smiled in my frowning sad face and walked off after the removal. Shes nice until you push back and she will turn into a different person. (I've inserted photos) I went home and literally cried. I wrote the office a long email AGAIN explaining my issue. It does not matter if I simple asked for possible early take off, if my teeth aren't ready they simply aren't ready! I then came back and luckily worked with Dr. Thai. Got the braces put back on my bottom teeth and started the unfinished process again. IF IT WEREN'T FOR DR. THAI id raised hell in that office for sure. Dr. Thai took TIME and was patient listened to me and did not rush the process. She clearly saw the issue and acted on it. Please Dr.Thai RUN and start your own practice. You're way to good for this atmosphere. To the assistants, speak up, if you see wrong doing and see problems do not be doormats to patients. I've seen you'll bite your tongue to not overstep boundaries or just plain fear. There are plenty of orthodontics with years of experience who know that braces are to not be rushed rather done with care and patience to secure the teeth in place to prevent shifting from happening again! I paid over 7,000 out of pocket for a mediocre job. And will forever steer everyone away from this office. I've been bamboozled.

    As someone who is not a fan of the dental office, I must admit that, in all my visits to various…read moredental offices, Citi Place Dental has consistently offered me the Best dental experience ever. 1. Mildred and Lorraine are exceptional staff members. 2. The office music is current and applicable. 3. The Dentist himself engages in positive and real-time conversation, and he has a skill set that is professional and detailed. 4. This is my first partial, and I love it even on day 4 of wearing it and getting adjusted to it. 5. This was the best dental referral. I am grateful and satisfied with the quality of service.

    I ended up not making an appointment after I called and found out that, unlike what their website…read moreappears to claim, they don't actually do sedation dentistry. Why do you have it on your website when you don't actually do it? Why is there no disclaimer that you don't actually do it? That's quite unethical. Additionally, they told me to remove my Google review and then told me that I was never there and therefore I wasn't allowed to review them. That's not how it works people. I tried to make an appointment with you only to find out that your website was misleading customers by making it look like you have dental sedation when you don't. Then you lied about not having it on your website. You do, in fact, have it on your website. Right under the dental anxiety section, and when you click on that link, it literally says at the top of the page. "IMPROVE YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT WITH DENTAL SEDATION" That's incredibly misleading. I'd hate to think what your care quality is considering this wasn't up to par and you decided to try to discredit people who point it out. Not my fault you decided to mislead people on your website. You should fix that.
