Dr. Zand ruined my life! one of the biggest regrets of my life was coming here. During my treatment, two of my main teeth were extracted my two lateral incisor!! and despite having braces with her twice, which she charged me a lot $$$$! the gaps never never properly closed. Years later, I am still dealing with the consequences and have had to spend thousands of dollars on additional dental work. I was never given a clear explanation of why the unnecessary extractions were done, the outcome has had a lasting impact on my confidence and quality of life. I would strongly encourage anyone to get far away from here!! before making permanent decisions about their teeth. read more

Highly recommended visiting Dr. Zand for all your orthodontic needs. I have been a patient twice and both experiences have been exceptional. Dr. Zand is extremely professional, experienced and only recommends what is needed. She is trustworthy, her prices are great and her work is amazing! Everyone in her office is welcoming and friendly, especially the office manager Evita! I have recommended everyone I know to Dr. Zand for consultations, braces and retainers over the years, and will continue to do so. The best orthodontist in town! read more

I removed my braces in 2008, at the age of 15, after having Dr. Zand as my orthodontist. She had me remove FOUR teeth (2 of the top premolars, 2 of the bottom premolars). At the time, I was only 13 and Dr. Zand said that I have "crowding" and she MUST remove those 4 teeth in order for my teeth to be straightened. I was referred to another surgical dentist to remove them. He refused. He said "these are 4 perfectly healthy teeth what is your crazy orthodontist thinking??" So we found someone else to do it. I regret not to listening to him after all these years. I feel like my smile has shrunk, and it's something I've been self conscious about all these years. It kind of makes me feel like my chin started to protrude a little bit too. Fast forward to now at the age of 28, I made an appointment with another dentist to get veneers, because I had SO many cavities in between all my teeth after getting my braces removed. My dentist from back in 2008 straight up told me "is your orthodontist blind? You've had these cavities for about 2 years now. She was supposed to refer you to get them fixed when you went in to her office every month to get the braces tightened." Well, apparently Dr. Zand gave 0 shits because I had deep cavities I needed to fix as a result of my orthodontist ignoring them for 2 years. That's why I made the decision to once and for all get veneers and finally have the smile I've always wanted after all these years and all the thousands of dollars spent. I wish Yelp existed when I was 13 and someone had left this review for me and my parents to read. If I can influence just one person to not go to this greedy, terrible office, then the time I put into this review was worth it. Dr. Zand, you've been in the field for "30 years"... it's time you go back and learn some newer more updated techniques because you're messing up peoples faces. read more

STAY AWAY! READ ALL THE "Real" REVIEWS! WE ARE ALL saying the same things! wow Dr. Zand ruined my teeth & many other family members! Sadly our parents were taken advantage of because they were new to the states. I'm grateful as an adult I can come to Yelp & warn others! * Please if you LOVE UR CHILDREN do NOT FALL for the cheap price! UR children will suffer as adults like I am now! & spend 10X times more from the damage she will cause! PEOPLE WHO SHE SCREWED OVER ARE NOW COMING FORWARD PUBLICLY, BECAUSE WE CAN! & We dont want the same thing happening to others! " YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR" this is a common saying and SO SO TRUE! especially when it comes to Ur health! Spend a bit more & take ur children to one of many reputable orthodontists in the area. & Dr. Zand DO NOT attempt to call/ contact me because We all know & read that you make ur girls call & harass patients , to try to change reviews. * this is what you get, for ruining so many peoples teeth/smiles/health. Hope you get Ur license taken away! UNBELIEVABLE THAT ur still in Business! Ur a horrible human being & even worse so called medical professional! Shame on You! *** STOP LYING ! THERE IS NO OTHER DOCTOR or orthodontist IN THE AREA WITH THE SAME NAME! thats a new tactic that will not work! *** DO NOT BELIEVE THE 5 Star Reviews are fake! names are people who work in her office. relentless & disgusting * DO NOT ATTEMPT TO HARASS ME! read more

DO NOT! Go somewhere else. I always hated going to this office mainly because the staff is incompetent and the doctor does not care about you. She would spend a minute each time I visited. She has caused problems and is always looking for ways to rip you off. Not worth what you're paying and the problems you'll face later and pay to fix those problems with some other doctor in the future. Edit: this is the correct place I am reviewing. Phone number, address, staff names are all accurate. read more

I love Dr. Zand and the rest of the ladies that work with her including my daughter . My daughter ,my sister ,my brother and including me have been patients we never had a problem with anybody she's a great orthodontist and very understanding. She works with you as much as she can. We have no complaint of so ever I don't understand how there's so many negative comments. Me and my family are very happy satisfied with her work. read more

I came to this ortho years ago and I still regret my decision. She completely butchered my teeth along with the teeth of a handful of people that I know who also went here. This definitely is not professional work. She does not understand how to align the teeth according to the structure of your face or to fix the jaw to enhance the face. After pulling out 4 teeth, i have gaps all over due to the excess room she believed the wisdom teeth would fill. All my teeth slant inwards. In order to save a couple hundred dollars I came to this ortho and now have to spend thousands to fix her mess. I suggest finding a better orthodontist for yourself or for your children. None of her work is work a penny. read more

Update - I am in my 30s now and have to get braces again for the 3rd time. Dr Zand had me in braces for over 3 years, and put them back on a few months after because she messed up. Yes - the picture is Dr Zand! This is the correct picture and business. P. S. Evita (the front receptionist) shame on you for years of lying and covering up for Dr Zand! read more

I came here to read reviews because i am a week away from getting braces a second time in my 30s. The first was in my teen years with dr. Zand. I read other reviews to see if people had the same experience and honestly became outraged by dr Zands responses to her patients. Here's what happened with me: I had a large over bite and was told by dr Zand that In order to fix it, I would have to have 2 healthy canines removed. I was 14 and didn't know better so I agreed. What irks me about this now is that several other patients report this same suggestion on her part, of which she denies and insists is a rare recommendation to remove canines. After quite some time of having the braces I started to notice a cross bite. How did I realize at 15/16 years old that things weren't going right? My bottom teeth were being crashed into by my top tooth's bracket. It was very uncomfortable and concerning. Fast forward another couple of years, I asked if I can please have the braces removed because I had become so tired of the trips to her office, which always entailed long waits in the waiting room. Not mention 4 years of metal in my mouth. She agreed to take them off telling me the cross bite was no big deal and could be fixed with retainers. Well, a year of adjustments to my retainers later, still no fix. So yes, I gave up before she fixed the problem, although I doubt she ever could have. Like others report, I also have minor gaps and overall my teeth look like they are going inward. And of course, still have that cross bite I mentioned, of which I've suffered jaw pain and headaches from. I paid $4k back in 2002-2006, so I can't even say it was a bargain. I'm now paying for $4k again to a different orthodontist. It will be worth it though, if it could end the nightmare that dr Zand started. Thanks for nothing dr. Zand. P.s. I too dealt with Evita the receptionist and clearly recall what dr Zand looks like. The Pics here match the "dr" I was seen by, so I'd hope that the "wrong office/dr with the same name" tactic isn't used on me. read more

My biggest mistake was to choose Dr.Zand as my sons orthodontist 7 years ago. She completely ruined his teeth with roots. This is already my third visit to a different dentist and after every X-ray they shook their heads is disbelief. Definitely avoid going there!!! read more

Before Dr. Zand, I had no hope that I would ever feel comfortable and confident with my smile, but she changed that all. I had a terrible underbite, one in which multiple other orthodontists recommended I got surgery. Luckily, I came across Dr. Zand who said I did not need surgery at all. She immediately took me in and had high hopes for me. I'm not usually one to talk about experiences in my life, but this one is definitely life changing and worth the share. She knows exactly what she's doing and she is great at it! I want to thank Dr. Zand, Evita, and everyone else who has helped, for all they've done. There was never a moment that I walked in the building and felt unease. In fact, I was always welcomed as if it were home. There is no better choice than Dr. Zand. She's the best! She's the reason I'm no longer afraid to smile read more

This dentist has defective products they waste all of my time and they took my money. I will never come back to this place again I don't recommend it. read more

This is a garbage Orthodontist. She will steal your money and give you defective products. I'm taking her to small claims court for a retainer that she attempted to "fix." read more

UPDATE: 5/1/2013: Dr. Zand continues to harass me on Yelp, making accusations that I am a fake user or that I was paid to write the bad review. In addition, she is harassing everyone who posts a negative comment for MONTHS without end. Please, Dr. Zand, continue to harass me and post more libel against me. I'd be more than happy to show the proof of my visit to a judge to begin a suit. Also, how dare you accuse all the negative reviews of being fake, when it is clearly obvious that those "30+ positive filtered reviews" are just you and/or your associates making a ton of fake accounts at the same time to try to change your rating. Yelp (and its audience) is nowhere as stupid as you think, and you are just continuing to damage your reputation online. Instead of this pointless crusade, why don't you concentrate on delivered good service so that maybe you could get some REAL positive reviews? ------------------------------------------------ UPDATE: 10/30/2012: Dr. Zand responded to my original post by violating the HIPPA act and publicly discussing ON YELP the content of my private medical records. She followed this up by sending me a message to scare and intimidate me into removing my negative review, and demanded that I prove I visited her office or face legal action. Excerpt: "Please contact our office with your name and the date that you were seen with evidence as such. Please note that failure to do so gives us the legal right to contact the Los Angeles Police Department in order to obtain your IP address and therefore your home address in order for our legal team to contact you about the claims that you have made. Again, if you were seen in our office, we apologize for your bad experience. However, we need proof (such as paperwork that you received with an estimate with the date on it) that this is a legitimate claim otherwise we are in our full rights to pursue legal action with fines up to but not limited to $5000. Please contact us or remove your review within the next 48 hours. Thank you." AVOID DR. ZAND AT ALL COSTS. ------------------------------------------------ I arrived at Dr. Zand's full of hope-- she was recommended to me by my much beloved dentist, with full knowledge that I only wanted to close the gap in my bottom teeth. I probably should have just kept on driving when I originally mistook the front of her office for a Mexican restaurant. Some instincts should never be ignored. When I entered, the slightly dark & dingy waiting room was completely packed. I took this as a good sign of business quality, and patiently waited my turn. I gotta give kudos to the front office staff-- despite the rest of my experience with Dr. Zand, the front desk lady was incredibly kind, attentive, and wonderful. Here's hoping she becomes an orthodontist one day, because she would be a pleasure to see. After a very short wait, I was called into one of the rooms to wait for Dr. Zand. A few minutes later, she walked in and just kinda stared at me for a moment. Eventually she introduced herself in a manner that made me feel like she wanted to be somewhere else, and then put on a pair of gloves and asked to look in my mouth. Now, I know I don't have a perfect bite to say the least. However, I've been happy with my smile with the exception of my gap. This is why I wanted the minimal amount of work. She looked inside of my mouth, and then said bluntly that I needed a full set of braces, asked me if I had insurance, and then quoted me a price. I'm not giving you an abridged version of the conversation-- that was the extent of our dialogue. She never fully explained what she saw with my teeth, never once asked me what I wanted, what I was interested in, etc. Nothing. I then tried to politely explain that I simply wanted to fix my bottom teeth. Somehow she became even more rude, telling me such gems as "You'll never have a pretty smile unless you get full braces", "You're not using all your teeth correctly so you're going to lose them", etc. I fully expect for doctors to give me their full opinion when making a diagnosis, but I've never had a professional talk to me with such disdain and general lack of concern for my opinion, needs, or situation. I had walked in fully expecting to sign up for a year of bottom braces, but... I really felt that if I did decide to undergo braces with her, she would not have any concern for my well being, and would simply want to move me in and out for the money. It certainly felt like she was in a rush. When it comes to considering a year long commitment such as this, I want a doctor that cares about me as a patient and is willing to bring his concerns to me in a reasonable manner, while still trying to work with my situation. I'll be searching elsewhere for treatment. read more

I made a yelp account just to take out my rage on Dr. Zand! Literally has no idea what she's doing. Makes everyone's teeth look like shit then looks at your with a stupid blank stare when you tell her you hate what she's done. Thanks dude, now I gotta spend another $10k to undo how much she messed up my teeth. There's a reason she's the cheapest place to go. Spend the extra money and go to someone who actually knows what they're doing cause I promise you will end up spending more money in the end trying to undo her mistakes. read more

Like numerous other posts, she also extracted 4 healthy teeth, slanted my teeth back, left gaps open, etc... I had to get braces again, I already have small teeth so the fact that she removed 4 teeth isn't helping. I'm even considering getting implants for the teeth she removed so I can have a nice smile. Waste of time and money. She did the same thing to another family member of mine. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Zand to all my friends. I couldn't be happier with the results I got from her. She has been great with the service since she started. I came to see her two and a half years ago and I couldn't be more excited about the outcome :) The first day I came to see her she examined my teeth and explained the steps I had to take. I got my X-Rays and paid $600 the first time for the start up fee. The next week I was already with braces. The whole process was a pain in the butt but worth it. The treatment was more affordable than other quotes I received. It was worth every penny. I can honestly say I have a million dollar smile :D (like this one) read more

This dentist is crazy. I went it to get a quote for Invisalign and she recommended me to extract my four canine teeth and get regular braces. She is crazy!!!! I take care of my teeth and I am 28 years old and i have never gotten a cavity. I went and got my Invisalign at another clinic without them extracting my teeth. It scares me that she is a dentist. Please don't go. read more

My cousin Suzy refereed me to Dr. Zand ... If i can give this palace more stars i would . Came in on 2-11-20 for an exam for my 17 year old son wow the front girl Evita was amazing super Attentive was very helpful and very sweet answered all my questions. We got the records done. And we started the treatment on 2-18-20 wow super happy to pick Dr.Zand for are Orthodontist. read more

A quick advice, if your reading her reviews, read those the patients gave and not the parents. There is a HUGE difference in waiting in the waiting room and sitting in her uncomfortable chair. If you're thinking about coming here because it cheaper, trust me when I say that you'll spend more time and money after fixing the mistakes made here. Her office is outdated and uncomfortable. (Granted I haven't been there in a while but I highly doubt it's changed) When I was their patient, they posted the past patients all over the hallways reassuring you that you're at the right place but to me it was all creepy and defiantly not reassuring. I wasted both my time and money going there and because of that I'm now spending time and money literally redoing my teeth! Don't make the same mistake. read more

Its 2017, I am 27 years old and one of my New Years Resolutions was to fix my teeth this year. I tried looking up every single method other than getting braces, my teeth however were saying otherwise. My teeth were so bad that you would never find a picture of me smiling. I had made appointments with several different places for a consultation l, after visiting Dr.Zand I canceled the other appointments and knew where I'd be getting work done. I trusted her from the get-go, she was honest, told me what I needed to have done, how long it would take, and how much it would cost all at once. Transparency and trust is very important for me when making business decisions. Not to get into too many details, but the top portion of my mouth was too narrow and I needed an expander placed as well. (I know, I told you I had bad teeth) Fast forward. Its been a few months I've had braces and I couldn't be happier. Everyday I see/feel the changes happening. The team who works here are very caring and nice people. They are always happy to see you and truly do care about your well being. I still have a long way to go on this journey, but I will continue to update this review. If you are thinking about getting work done think no more, you've found the spot. 5 Stars Thanks For Reading read more

I came to Dr. Zand when I was 12 years old and she helped me with my smile. I had a horrible overbite and Dr. Zand did an incredible job of fixing it for me. It's been over 15 years since I have had my work done and I still continue to recommend Dr. Zand to everyone. My entire family has went to Dr. Zand and they've all had amazing results. The staff is incredibly nice, especially Evita. She is the sweetest person ever and always does what she can to help out. I would highly recommend Dr. Zand's office to everyone. She's the best! read more

I was Dr. Zand's patient about 17 years ago. I was very happy with her as my orthodontist. She and her staff were extremely nice and professional. She was very caring and gentle, that was very important to me. I never had any issues with her. I was always excited for my appointments so I could change the color of my rubber bands. Just recently my brother was her patient. He also had a positive experience with Dr. Zand and her staff. Evita in the front office is always so nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend Dr. Zand. read more

I'm so happy with my decision to do my orthodontic treatment with Dr. Zand. After debating for many years, I made an appointment for my initial consultation and immediately began treatment with her. She re-assured me I was a candidate and I felt comfortable with every step of the process. Dr. Zand gives individual attention to each patient and works with each patient to schedule the appropriate amount of follow up appointments to be sure that the treatment is going according to plan. I am approaching the end of my treatment am thrilled with the results. Dr. Zand and her staff are highly competent, responsive, and easy to work with. Go with Dr. Zand- you won't regret it! read more

I was referred by a close friend of mine to Dr.Zand. My initial visit was extremely thorough. They use digital x-rays and photos of your teeth so that you can understand everything that is going on in your mouth. Dr Zand explained what was needed in a way that made me feel at ease and she has always treated me with the utmost respect since I started braces in the office Their office is very clean and nice located , the parking is easy since there's a 2 hour free parking on both side of the street Right in front of office I would definitely recommend doctor Zand because to me she have been nothing but honest and excellent at providing her services. They have never let me down. Their staff, especially Evita, goes out of their way to greet and welcome the patients and offer drinks while You are waiting ,their goal is to make the patient feel comfortable You will feel very comfortable and well taken care of in their office read more

No Dr. Zand , there is no confusion to the review and I definitely was a patient. Simply, I want to save families from investing their hard earned money and redirect them elsewhere, somewhere they can get the results they are seeking. read more

I was treated by Dr Zand for almost 3 years. Getting braces as an adult can be very intimidating and brings its own separate challenges but I have yet to regret the day I got them. The process was simple and Dr Zand always kept me informed of my progress. She took special care of me while I was pregnant and under treatment to make sure I was comfortable. Dr Zand's staff also deserves a lot of credit in making this your go-to place for ortho treatment... Evita always accommodated my schedule and would call me to remind me of my appointments or if there was earlier availability. Melina and Melissa are very gentle and understanding of any pain or discomfort with ortho treatment. I will miss seeing everyone on a regular basis but I'm so happy with the overall end result of my ortho treatment... a nice and perfect smile and all thanks to Dr Zand. read more

Yeah... So I got braces from her along time ago. I recently went to see a Maxillofacial Surgeon for a consult to fix my underbite. I had braces on for two years with her, and the last couple of months I broke a couple of brackets. This frustrated her, so instead of finishing her job and fixing my bite, she told me she didnt want to deal with it any more and removed my braces. I was obviously elated at the time (I was twelve years old) but it has haunted me ever since. Seeing other peoples reviews of her confirms my suspicions. She is bad at what she does. Dentistry is all about money these days. And just because your a dentist doesnt mean your necessarily smart, or educated. she is a testament to this. read more

I have been coming to Dr Zand for two years now. I have never experienced any problems with anything here. I could not believe the change I have had to my teeth since coming here. I used to have a major under bite and Dr Zand fixed that. I have a crazy work schedule and Dr Zand has always been very flexible, she has even offered to stay later past closing time to help me out. I have nothing but good things to say about this place, customer service is excellent and I recommend it. I also know the quality of work is great even though I hate wearing my rubber bands. I pretty much do all the things your not supposed to do when you have braces like chew gum, bite on apples, etc but still have rarley ever had anything break (Sorry Dr Zand). There is an awesome lady who works the front desk who checks you in right away so your in and out of the place in less then 10 minutes, my kind of place. I will definitely be recommending Dr Zand to family and friends. read more

My biggest mistake ever to choose Dr. Zand as my orthodontist. Her method of treatment is not beneficial for the patient's health at all. She recommended me pulling two of my healthy teeth in order to do braces, the period she promised me to finish the treatment was not correct and she started to extend it and charged me for the extension period as well. every month I was asking her when it was going to finish and she didn't know and finally I asked her just to pull out my braces after 3.5 years without doing a perfect job on my teeth. When I visited my general dentist after braces, I was told my teeth roots are shortened due to worse orthodontic treatment and my front teeth were all tracked. Now I need to do veneers. I wish I hadn't gone to her. read more

This doctor should not be in business. Both my husband and I are paying for all her mistakes. After each year our teeth keeps getting worse & worse due to all her mistakes. We both need skin grafting on our gum because of her. Yes her staff is nice & mostly you are seen by her staff not even her. She would only spend 5 minutes after her technicians do all her work. read more

Dr. Zand is a professional to the extreme. Orthodontistry is assuredly one of the most challenging professions, technically and emotionally. In the last year and a half, I have watched a miracle with my own teeth: I am 42 and am finally 6 months away from having perfectly straight teeth. My entire life I was afraid to smile and had adopted habits in communication to hide my teeth. That is no way to live. Dr. Zand has handled me with grace and humanity over and over, carefully and gently getting every detail in place so that I can finally, proudly smile. Her front office girl is a sweetheart, her assistants are excellent and she is a gem. I highly recommend this office to anybody needing orthodontistry without reservation. read more

Definitely happy with my end result of having braces. Dr. Zand and el vida. Are honestly kind and helpful throughout the process.

I am so glad I went to Dr Zand, she made my teeth so beautiful!!! My bottom teeth were a mess but I did everything she instructed and till this day my teeth look beautiful. Thank you Dr Zand and the rest of the staff for all your hard work. I will definitely recommend others looking for beautiful teeth :) read more

I am saddened to say I was looking forward to going to Dr Zand as I think she is in the offices where I had my Dr in the 70's, and being referred to her. After doing a LOT of research of several of Orthodontists in Burbank, her reviews are horrendous. None of the other Dr's received complaints on yelp. I am sorry to see the retorts from the Dr, she is not well, or more so continuing to not "Do as the Romans do". Dr Zand, your in America. This behavior is not consistent with American values. With this many negative posts, I cannot imagine her business staying open for long. Yelp is going to get her... as it yells the truth..she won't hide for to much longer. I hope she gets a life trainer and therapist and start taking responsibility for her life and practice. Too much damage here. read more

Dr. Zand is a great orthodontist. She really made a difference in my smile. The waiting room is kinda old and is usually very crowded, but you only have to go in once a month so it's not too bad. The staff is friendly, which is a plus when you're in agonizing pain after your monthly visit. I believe they take most insurance so definitely look into Dr. Zand if you're considering braces. read more

Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time. I went in for a consultation after a former roommate referred Dr. Zand to me. I specifically asked for Invisalign because I'm in my 20s and don't want to have braces. Dr. Zand quoted my $3000 for them. When I went back a week later, she had written down $3500 in the contract, already robbing me of my $500. I signed a two year contract for Invisalign for $3500. A few months later, I realized she's been giving me some generic "Invisalign" the whole time that she says she makes herself and are "much better." The Invisalign she gave me was bubbly and terrible looking! There was no way I can even wear them in public, so I ended up only wearing them when I was off work. She would give me new ones every 2-3 months, whereas Invisalign requires you to get replacements every 2 weeks. I confronted her about it and she convinced me these were better. I told her that after 2 years, as long as my teeth are straight, I don't care. Fast forward 3 years. My teeth literally look the same. Maybeeeeee 5% improvement. I went back to Dr. Zand to get a refund and go elsewhere. She then began begging me to try braces. So great, now I'm 25 and getting braces. Thank you Dr. Zand for making me do the exact opposite of what I asked for. I agreed to braces for 6 months and she said she was giving me a deal by charging me $500 for it. (Now we're up $4000, when she typically charges $2500 for braces). I reluctantly went in to get my top braces, which are clear so at least they don't look so bad. A month later, I went in to get my bottom braces put on. I was told to go to the bathroom and rinse, and what do I see?!?! A mouth full of metal!!! She insists she told me repeatedly that the bottom braces would be metal. I've never been so upset, felt so ripped off and so cheated in my entire life. Do yourself and your pocket a favor and stay away. Pay a little extra and go somewhere that actually cares about their reputation. When I stepped into her office a few years ago, I had envisioned myself to have a perfect smile at 25. This place is a disgusting excuse for a medical office. Fast forward now. I'm 27, gap still in my teeth, have horrendous excuse for a retainer, out $4000, and need to go to another orthodontist and start all over. I know multiple patients who have demanded their money back. I should sue for giving me a false product when she said I was getting Invisalign but literally never want to see her face again. ** I've posted this review once before but was told to remove it by Evita, so I did. But you know what, sorry guys. People need to know. read more

Honestly I get so heated just thinking about the amount of time I wasted at her office. Ugh it makes me so mad. HORRIBLE service. I had to wait at least an hour each time I went for my braces. Sometimes it took at least two hours just to be called in to sit inside for another thirty minutes until someone came just for a ten minute tightening (she wouldn't even do it, her assistants would do it while chatting with each other). When I think about how much time I've wasted at her office just waiting it gets me so mad.. Anyway after I got my braces off, she said the retainers would take one week.. I called to see if they're ready a week later she said it takes two weeks.. After two weeks I called and it was still not ready. Three weeks later I finally got my retainers back but by this time my teeth became crooked again.. I literally had the retainers in my mouth 24/7 and would only take it out when I ate then I would brush my teeth and put it back on. A couple weeks after I continuously put my retainers on I complained that my teeth were still crooked (since she gave it to me three weeks late) and that the retainers weren't doing anything. She just said that I'm not wearing it enough. -.- I seriously wanted to slap her cause I'm very responsible when it comes to things like that. Ughh.. Anyway I got tired of going to her office and waiting for her to look at it and my teeth we're going back to the way they were before so I decided to get Invisalign. And now I'm happy :) but I regret going to her for braces.. I should've just stuck to Invisalign cause it takes half the time and i didn't waste that much time in an office just waiting since my dentist's service is great. Oh and the retainers she gave me were like the ugliest things ever and they were honestly sooooo cheap like I could bend it however I wanted to.. And I know retainers are ugly in general (well not the Invisalign ones lol) but a lot of orthodontists gave out nicer and better quality retainers.. read more

DO NOT GO HERE AND WASTE YOUR MONEY! Not only I wasted my money but I was super displeased with the results. It's been couple of years now since they took off my braces and there's still a gap between my canine teeth (she ordered one canine from left and right to be taken out). When I told her about my concern she simply said not to worry, the gap will close over time. IT NEVER DID. When my braces were taken off I confronted her, she simply said that she can send me to her son who can fix the gap problem (her children are also in the dentistry profession). Made me feel like I was a walking piggy bank (not only I paid more than 3,000 for my braces but now she wanted to send me to her son do he could make some money). Shame. 1 star is a more than enough for this kind of service. read more

I referred My sister massy to Dr Farnaz Zand for braces although all the other Drs had suggested that she had very complicated case and she is not candidate for braces Dr Zand took care of her problem with total patience and excellent work .she is 100% satisfied with the result .I recommend anybody with the need for orthodontic treatment to Dr Zand read more
