Dr. Kornak gave me straight teeth,a beautiful smile, and improved self confidence in myself that has been with me all my life. My teeth stayed straight for 34 years before I needed braces again. I do get new retainers to keep my teeth straight as teeth move and I want straight teeth no matter how old I get. If I still lived in Riverside I would still be his patient. Dr. Kornak is the best! His office staff "Robyn" was the best too.

So uh I'll let Jewel get my 101st review. Let's move on. First, I'm weird. I was excited to get braces, and not for the obvious reasons. I really thought they looked cool. I didn't care that one day they'd be removed and my once crooked teeth would look presentable. Nope, I liked the process of getting to that point. Being able to choose different colors every month made every appointment seem like Christmas. My teen years, well more specifically 14-17, were pretty special. I embraced every aspect of awkward with pride. I'd only be able to live through these colorfully gawky days once and I made the most out of it. The staff at the office were all very friendly. Dr Grud never had to really do much to my teeth after he put the braces on. His assistants were in charge of rubber band replacement. However, the one time he DID work on my teeth, I bit his finger. I felt pretty bad, and he called me a turkey afterward so we're even now. He was wise to leave the rest of the work to his assistants. I saved this for my 100th review because without this orthodontist, my constant smiling and laughing might have scared off some of the people I can now call friends. Thanks.

I cannot begin to thank you enough for everything you have done for me. To say my experience with…read moreyou has been the absolute best I've ever had with any medical professional IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT - you have literally CHANGED MY LIFE. Before finding you, I was dealing with a Class 3 overbite. Two different dentist advised the only way to correct my bite was through an intense, painful process: breaking my jaw, cutting my gums on both sides, then repositioning my jaw, having my mouth wired shut for 6 to 8 weeks, and then i would have to wear braces for a minimal of 3 years after all that. A friend begged me to get a 3rd opinion with you before i considered the surgery, and it was the BEST DECISION I E V E R MADE‼‼ Instead of surgery, you removed just one tooth on each side, put me in Invisaligns for a little over 8 months, and completely gave me my confidence back. Even when I made a mistake--losing my retainers on a cruise and being months without my retainer my teeth began to shift- you didn't hesitate to come to my rescue when I reached out to you years later. Dr. Tahir, what I appreciate most is that it's never just about the money with you - you GENUINELY CARE ABOUT PEOPLE OVER PROFIT‼ You gave me a TREMENDOUS discount without even knowing the storm I was in--dealing with a bitter divorce, just lost my mother to COVID still while I'm trying to figure out how to put my daughter through college by myself - still navigating the financial pieces of being a single parent, and your generosity is something I will NEVER FORGET. You truly care about my smile, my confidence, and my happiness. The fact that you have answered my texts on your personal line during non-business hours to help me out shows the kind of remarkable, dedicated professional you are. I love you and your A M A Z I N G TEAM, and I am FOREVER GRATEFUL for the joy and confidence you've restored to my life. With deepest gratitude, Lynntasha
