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.

Was also very friendly, excellent at establishing a quick sense of rapport and comfort. :) Damian was a friendly and personable hygienist, and he struck the perfect balance between functional efficiency and sociable warmth. Spoke very kindly with me before we got started, and after we started the cleaning he didn't try to continue awkward dentist-visit small talk, which I really appreciate. Dr Kadily was fast and friendly. She recommended I get a filling re-done at the branch where I initially got it, but I might get a second opinion elsewhere based on the other reviews I've seen. Still, I'll be returning for future cleanings because I've never had a bad experience with any of the staff. All lovely folks!

One other issue was the amount of time I had to wait, with no real communication as to why the wait. On top of all that, the quality of the dental work was not up to standard.

I wouldn't recommend this location and will be looking for a new dental provider.

It started with the warmest welcome by Tiffany at the front desk. I was quickly invited back to the patient room (a room with a gorgeous view of the city) where my Invisalign retainers were promptly waiting for me. Nina, the coolest assistant, efficiently reviewed all pertinent information and shortly after, entered Dr. Schwartz. The kindest, most gentle, funny, and smart, board-certified Orthodontist you will ever meet! His bedside manner makes you forget you are in a doctor's office. He performed the necessary treatment and off I went, grinning ear to ear while wearing my invisible braces and a bag full of swag.

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.

However, when I did go, the staff were so accommodating with my schedule and let me know when openings were available if someone cancelled last minute. Fortunately I lived in walking distance from the clinic so the convenience was a major factor. Although if you do not live close by, you have to find parking in the neighborhood I believe, unless there is a parking lot in the back - not 100% sure. I've had wonderful hygienists every time I've gone there and Dr. Samaddar is incredibly nice. However, every time I've gone she always suggests getting Invisalign, which based on conversations with a few of my dentist friends, is always something many dentists say to gain profit for their clinic (and Invisalign is not covered by insurance FYI). And sure - prevention is important. Giving SCSC the benefit of the doubt, one of the hygienists there was so thorough, and she was educational and suggested several ways I can maintain my teeth - I wish I remembered her name but kudos to her! All in all I would recommend this place only IF your insurance is in fact IN NETWORK!

The atmosphere is incredibly friendly and welcoming. They'll never rush you out the door or off the phone, even when they're packed. Every time I visit or call to make an appointment I have a fun chat with Sagan, and these folks always remember little details about my life the next time we talk. (They even noticed when I got a new haircut!) I've never had a medical team treat me so much like they really cared about me personally. This is probably why the waiting room always feels like such a pleasant place--even the fellow patients are friendly and chatty. These folks have worked with me with through three different insurance plans without any problems. You can also opt to be reminded of appointments via text, which is endlessly helpful for me. They're quick to reply to emails and scheduling is always super painless. Dr. Bruk is skilled, charismatic, and highly emotionally intelligent. He always explains things clearly and makes every effort to ensure his patients are relaxed and comfortable (even going so far as to change the music from jazz to Enya for me once during an extraction, ha). I really can't say enough good things about this place. Check them out. You won't be sorry!
