Angle House Orthodontics - Orthodontists Near Me - Balwyn, VIC

Today, Dr Kataria you provided the worst experience I've received from a medical professional in my whole life. I have been a long time customer of Angle House having had braces when I was younger, however I've not returned in 8+ years and do not plan to after today. I received a 'consultation' today for a wire behind my teeth which has snapped, this consultation involved no introduction followed by Dr Kataria thrusting his hands into my mouth unannounced and then proclaiming that I had two options, one of which was $70 and one which was $150 and 'which one did I want?' - no explanation of long term benefits or side effects of either treatment. I elected for the more affordable treatment for the time being and before I could take a breath, Dr Katarias hands were once again inside my mouth but this time with a filing tool which shook my existence. He poked and prodded for all of 20 seconds, asked me how it felt and that was it. Having entered with a sunny disposition, I felt physically violated and angry after this experience, so much so, that I called my Mother who explained she had received similar treatment from Dr Kataria and has since found a nicer, more professional ortho to deal with. The only thing that improved this service was the lovely experience with Margie the receptionist who has been with this clinic for over 10 years and remembered me after all this time - so much love for Margie! read more

Now up to the 3rd Child with Dr Kataria at Angle House and have found this a professional and kind journey. Braces can be a daunting experience for a child and the staff at Angle House have made what could have been an anxiety ridden ordeal into a calm ride. After several quotes and reports I have found Dr Kataria to be a well priced service, highly knowledgeable, and the support staff a well oiled machine who ultimately care for their clients. Highly recommend Angle House and would like to take the opportunity to thank Dr Kataria for the beautiful smiles my children now have. read more

I have had the absolute worst experience with Dr Gopal Kataria. This is the first bad review I have ever written, and I sure hope it is the last. This was my first experience with Dr Kataria as my previous orthodontist retired (Dr Brian McGuiness, who was wonderful). He ran nearly 30 mins late which I am very understanding about however an acknowledgment for my wasted time that I taken out of my work day would have been appreciated, he then gave me inconsistent advice from when I had called the orthodontist to book the appointment, and made me feel like I couldn't ask questions when I didn't understand what he was saying as he told me to 'stop interrupting' him and 'can you let me speak now?' Also he was extremely rude and condescending calling me immature among other things. After he recommended invisilign, I asked him if it would cost approx $8,000 as my friend just got quoted that, in which he ranted 'You can pull any random number out of a hat if you like, my house could cost $XXX, and my neighbors house could cost $XXX, you can't compare etc ...' at this point I tuned out because I was so insulted that he had no consideration or empathy for my situation, and just responded 'I only asked because I thought you might know the approximate cost' on which he continued to scold me by saying 'Well a mature person would've asked it like this....'. As a client of the Angle House for 12 years now, I'm saddened to say that I will never be returning back, and I will stop referring my friends and family there. I have never been spoken to like how Dr Kataria spoke to me in my life, especially by a professional who's services I was trying to engage. Fortunately, the receptionists were absolutely lovely and have always been for the 12 years I was going there. I truly hope it was a once off scenario and I just got Dr Kataria on a bad day so no one feels how awful I felt after leaving Angle House Orthodontics again. read more
