I pay all this money to not know what's going on or if my child is on track progress wise! I am very concerned with the level of customer service and care that we are getting. One time I waited over 15 mins just for the front desk staff to say, she would just call me instead of meeting with me and I never got a call back. What is my insurance being used for!? If an Xray is conducted I SHOULD KNOW! The establishment itself is clean and the staff are polite but I definitely don't feel like I am in the loop with my child's progress or treatment!

There are so many orthodontists that do not take a long-term, face-driven approach to treating their patients (and so many patients don't even know that's a possibility!) -- Dr. Patel does. It's not just about making teeth straight, it's about giving patients the best possible smile for their particular face. My daughter had a very narrow bite, and one of Dr. Patel's goals was to broaden her bite, and her smile. What a HUGE difference this has made in her appearance. Dr. Patel has also been able to give us a long-term plan for both my daughter and son - he looks at not only the present, but what would be best over time with teeth being lost, gained, and both of them growing. Orthodontic work affects you and your smile for your entire life, so Im very happy to have found Dr. Patel for my kids!

We started off with a free consultation, Dr. Tran was very professional and personable. We sat and discussed treatment options between braces and Invisalign. We weighted the pros and cons of both, and ultimately I went the braces route. At every appointment, I was learning something new about dental work. I have a feeling Dr. Tran has a passion for teaching because he would explain in layman's term what he was doing and why. I found it reassuring when he explained his thought process while working on my teeth. Doing so allowed me to understand where we were on my individualized treatment plan for straighter teeth. The staff at Tran Orthodontics is a great team. They were always quick to attend to my needs whenever I had any questions or concerns. The dental hygienists always exceeded my expectations whenever I was under their care. Scheduling future appointments was always easy. I found it quite convenient that there are three locations that can provide dental care. They are all located in Silver Spring, Wheaton, and Gaithersburg. I give my highest recommendation to anyone looking for straighter teeth to be under the care of Dr. Tran. I genuinely believe that he is the best there is in the area!

We went as a family, and both of our kids--our two-and-a-half-year-old daughter and six-and-a-half-year-old son--had their routine checkups and cavity screenings. I truly can't say enough good things about our experience. The entire staff was incredibly professional, warm, and welcoming. The office itself is spotless and thoughtfully designed to make both kids and parents feel at ease. The doctor was prompt, kind, and wonderfully engaging with the children--so approachable and patient, which made a big difference. Both of our kids had such a great time that they were actually excited about the visit! I would wholeheartedly recommend this dental office to any parents looking for a caring and competent team to take care of their children's dental health. As a bonus, there's free public parking, and you can easily access the office via elevator from the garage--super convenient. The kids loved the goodie bags they received, which added a fun touch to the visit. We had an early morning appointment, and I highly recommend going at that time--it was calm, cheerful, and everything ran exactly on schedule. We left with smiles on our faces and already booked our next appointment for six months from now!
