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.

Many of these orthodontists now have super busy offices, seeing 80 plus patients a day. These types of practices can leave you feeling a bit confused because no one has time to really talk with you due to so many patients. Dr Sheferrman, even though I only saw him for a consultation and not treatment, doesn't have that style of a practice. The others are not bad, it just depends on your patient-style as to what you prefer in an orthodontist.

It started with the warmest welcome by Tiffany at the front desk.

It had gotten so bad I was really willing to take a wash on the money I had paid just to not deal with them anymore. I just wanted it in the rearview. It had been a couple of months and since our last interaction when I recieved a bill in the mail. . . so now it is time to write a review. First off, I was promised by sales person that my dentist would be removing my permanent retainer for free. This would be the first step to starting my treatment. This was not true. And she was very happy to throw my dentist under the bus for her broken word. "The dentist is the one that is charging a fee as most of my practices will do it free of cost. " OK sure. Well I went to a local ortho to try to get my permanent retainer removed, in order to proceed. Ortho tells me that some of the results discussed during the Evenly consult were unlikely due to the structure of my jaw. Which I had mentioned during the consult. One KEY thing to remember when doing your free consult with Evenly. You are NOT TALKING to a trained ORTHO. This is a sales person trying to make the sale. I was later able to talk to Dr. Hickory who agreed with some of the points brought up by the ortho I saw locally in NJ. He agreed to send me a revised treatment plan that showed what it would look like to just treat the TOP teeth. OK great this is REALLY what I was hoping for from the jump. So I bring up the question; with the proposed change in treatment plan. Does the price of treatment change. **crickets**. When they recieve a question they do not like, they will just ignore it outright. I have MANY MANY email examples of this. This review in general is aimed at the Evenly staff. Dr. Hickory was very accomadating with my questions over the phone. But his office support is not great to deal with. I ended up putting a stop payment toward Evenly because I have not recieved any treatment or retainers from them, I have paid for over half my treatment. Was willing to walk away from it until I got a bill in the mail for treatment they have not given me.

Dr. Schwartz is the best orthodontist you can find! Before I started my invisalign treatment, I…read morevisited two other orthodontists. However, out of the three orthodontists I saw in total, Dr. Schwartz impressed me the most. His calm demeanor, his excitement to explain the process, and his carefulness not to overpromise convinced me to pick him. My case was a bit complicated, so I had invisalign for quite a while. Having said that, I did get to see him for a long time, and what I did notice was that he is calm, quick, precise, confident, and caring. He is such a perfectionist that he will never compromise on quality. He will not end your treatment until he achieves the results that he knows are possible. He is so competent that everytime I visited him I felt inspired to work harder and be better at my own job. When I started my treatment, Tifani (coordinator) and Janeth (technician) were there. When my treatment ended years later, they were still there. They always treated me so nicely that I enjoyed going to the office for my visits. It felt like catching up with friends. So, if you need invisalign and want to be in the best hands possible, look no further. I consider my decision to get invisalign as a great decision. However, I consider picking him as my orthodontist as one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I called to let them know that morning and said I could come in, but I was sniffly and coughing and felt like it would not be nice for the staff. They waived the cancellation fee (I see some of you don't like getting charged for cancellations, but try being on the other side of that equation some time... people can be pretty flippant about wasting your time). Anyway, they waived the cancellation but there were no new appointments available there until March (it was Jan 28 when I had to cancel). So I went on the app, and scheduled an appointment for Feb 1, saturday at Navy Yard. The hygienists at both locations have been the best. Great, gentle technique. Friendly and professional. The offices are beautiful and well maintained. The business model Tend is perfect. Let a large company maintain a consistent quality environment, equipment, office management, billing, payroll etc etc. Use that economy of scale to pay staff well and give them benefits. Free up the dentists and dental staff to provide the best service they can and give us a good way to feedback our good and bad experiences. You can have a bad experience anywhere sometimes...but IMO Tend offers the best dental experience more consistently than any place I've been before.

Worst dental experience of my life…read more I visited Tend in December for a cleaning. At the cleaning I was told I needed 3 fillings replaced. I came back a couple of weeks later and was told the process would involve getting temporary fillings placed, and coming back 2 weeks later for permanent porcelain fillings made in a lab. This was never explained to me before, but I naively agreed. The temporary fillings were horribly painful, and when I called the office to ask for help, I didn't receive a call back for days. During this time I consulted my hometown dentist who told me that in his opinion (a) at 25 years old, it is VERY unlikely I actually needed fillings replaced and (b) many modern dental practices have the technology to do porcelain fillings the same day. When I returned for my permanent fillings, one did not fit. The dentist repeatedly drilled my tooth further, and then told me it did not fit and I would have to come back in another two weeks. I asked for a refund to go somewhere else to get it done the same day but was denied. Eventually I had the permanent "porcelain fillings" placed 2 weeks later. After all of this I was still in A LOT of pain, and decided to see a different dentist because I had lost trust in Tend. That dentist took one look in my mouth and say "Oh wow, I understand why you are in pain...we don't do that here." Turns out, I had been given partial crowns by Tend, not replacement fillings - an entirely different treatment. Not only that, but after taking xrays we found that they drilled so close to my nerve that I may need a root canal now to correct their terrible dental work. In short: I had a dental procedure done to my mouth that I DID NOT CONSENT TO, did not need in the first place, and now am experiencing additional dental issues as a direct result of. In the interest of keeping this review short I am leaving out weeks of rude phone calls, additional charges being added to my bill, and other odd practices - including the second tend dentist telling me she felt uncomfortable working on my teeth because I was a different tend dentists patient and she didn't want to be liable if something went wrong. I would suggest reading through all of their recent reviews before visiting...
