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.

From the…read morehelpful, sweet ladies at the front desk to the office management staff (thanks for the delightful coffees!!), knowledgeable orthodontic/clinical assistants and, of course, Dr. Mina and Dr. Bob, they're all amazing! I received excellent and reasonably priced treatment for realigning my upper and lower teeth to not hit (and prevent damage!) - and it was always such a nice experience. Good people who really care and really know their stuff. Whether you wind up primarily seeing the fabulous Dr. Mina or Dr. Bob (what a card!), you can't go wrong. Also loved that they can make their own "Invisilign," which is a more approachable option and works all the same. Also, the parking garage at 1160 19th St. NW is super close, very reasonable on Spot Hero, and likewise, super nice folks!! Cannot recommend Kumra enough! (DC-location patient).

Dr. Schwartz is a great orthodontist and I would highly recommend his practice. He and his staff at…read moreCapitol Orthodontics provided excellent advice on selecting the most suitable orthodontic treatment for my needs. Following several consultations with other (three) orthodontists in the area for my specific situation, I am now glad to say that I made a good decision to have Dr. Schwartz as my doctor. Dr. Schwartz is very talented orthodontist who cares about his patients and was always open to answer any questions that I had about my treatment. His practice uses state-of-the art innovative orthodontic technologies. Financial payments options presented by his staff were clear to understand and everyone at his office was very professional, super nice and ready to help. After he took off my braces, I was very pleased with the final results of the treatment! I would highly recommend his practice without reservations.

I was a patient at Capitol Orthodontics at the DC location until recently, and I want to…read moreacknowledge the excellent care I received from Dr. Schwartz. He is patient, kind, professional, and truly cares about his patients. Nina and the other dental assistants are also outstanding. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and consistently provide excellent care. Unfortunately, my experience with the front desk, specifically Tifani Lively, changed my overall impression of the practice. Over time, her professionalism declined, and she repeatedly blurred the line between personal and professional interactions. On one occasion, she used my personal phone number, which was provided for my patient records, to contact me about personal matters unrelated to my treatment. After that, she contacted me several more times about personal matters. I chose not to respond to those communications because I wanted to keep our interactions strictly professional and limited to my care as a patient. I found this repeated contact to be highly inappropriate and a serious violation of my privacy. During another visit, while I was at the front desk scheduling my next appointment as instructed, she began discussing personal matters with me that had nothing to do with my care. This conversation took place during business hours and in front of other patients, making the interaction uncomfortable, unprofessional, and at times somewhat hostile in tone. I was scheduled for a retainer checkup on 8/5/2026 and confirmed my appointment the week before. Then, on 8/3/2026, I received a text message stating that my appointment had been canceled. No explanation was provided, and there was no attempt to reschedule. Given the repeated inappropriate personal contact over the weekend and the hostile nature of our most recent interaction, I am concerned that my appointment may have been canceled for reasons unrelated to my care and without Dr. Schwartz's knowledge. While I cannot confirm that this is what happened, the timing raises legitimate concerns. It is disappointing that the actions of one staff member overshadowed what was otherwise an excellent experience with Dr. Schwartz and the clinical team. I hope the practice takes these concerns seriously and reviews its policies regarding professionalism, patient privacy, and appropriate use of patient information so that no other patient has a similar experience.

Updated Review - Hindsight Is 20/20: Buyer Beware…read more Looking back several years after completing treatment, I feel it's important to share my experience. My orthodontic results lasted only about 2-3 years after my braces were removed. After that, my teeth gradually shifted and gaps began to form, despite wearing my retainers exactly as instructed. When I returned to discuss the issue, I was disappointed that there were no meaningful solutions offered other than paying for additional treatment or purchasing new retainers. The retainers themselves were another frustration. I paid approximately $600 for each set, yet both broke much sooner than expected. When I contacted the office about a newly purchased retainer that appeared to be defective, I was told through the receptionist to see my local dentist instead. That response left me feeling dismissed, especially since the problem involved a retainer made by their office. Once my treatment was complete, I felt there was very little support when problems developed that were related to my orthodontic care. While the office staff was always willing to schedule appointments, my concerns ultimately weren't resolved, and I was left feeling that the only options presented involved spending more money. The office itself is attractive and offers plenty of extras, but I personally felt that those amenities were reflected in the overall cost of treatment rather than the long-term quality of care. In addition, parking is very limited and inconvenient, making appointments more difficult and expensive. Everyone's experience may be different, but mine was disappointing. I recommend researching your orthodontist carefully and considering not only the treatment process but also the level of long-term support you'll receive if problems arise after treatment. 2017 Initial Review: So excited I found VCO via google online. I had just moved and was in the middle of treatment for my existing braces, and she was one of very few who would take me in & continue my treatments. (Most orthodonists dont like to take on patients who already have braces) Her office is very clean, fun, eclectic and modern! Chrissy is wonderful, and she makes me feel comfortable to trust her with achieving my goals of a beautiful smile and straighter teeth. My monthly visits are quick and easy. They get me in and out. Chrissy always addresses my concerns, whether it's in person, email, or phone. Im excited to see my results in Nov - Dec timeframe!!.

PLEASE READ!!! I've taken a while to write this review since it really upsets me. This office is…read morenothing like I expected. Please do not be fooled my the glitz and glam of the place. Although I have much to say, Let me just summarize my experience briefly. My initial appointment was..... great. But I was blinded. I came in for a consultation and ended up getting braces that very same day thinking wow such great service how quickly they "understood my needs" WRONG Dr. Markova is MONEY HUNGRY!!!!! From this day on my entire experience was RUSHED. Verbatim this office specifically RUSHES the process of braces. Before my braces being removed and throughout the process I worked with both Dr. Markova & Dr. Thai. (Constantly stressing my bottom teeth) I noticed i stopped being scheduled to see Dr. Markova once she took my braces off even AFTER I shared my concerns pertaining my bottom teeth STILL being crooked. Dr. Markova simply brushed it off stating I was good and ready looked me in my face and said "the retainer will fix that problem". She is super fake, snotty, stuck up and inconsiderate and very UNWILLING. Smiled in my frowning sad face and walked off after the removal. Shes nice until you push back and she will turn into a different person. (I've inserted photos) I went home and literally cried. I wrote the office a long email AGAIN explaining my issue. It does not matter if I simple asked for possible early take off, if my teeth aren't ready they simply aren't ready! I then came back and luckily worked with Dr. Thai. Got the braces put back on my bottom teeth and started the unfinished process again. IF IT WEREN'T FOR DR. THAI id raised hell in that office for sure. Dr. Thai took TIME and was patient listened to me and did not rush the process. She clearly saw the issue and acted on it. Please Dr.Thai RUN and start your own practice. You're way to good for this atmosphere. To the assistants, speak up, if you see wrong doing and see problems do not be doormats to patients. I've seen you'll bite your tongue to not overstep boundaries or just plain fear. There are plenty of orthodontics with years of experience who know that braces are to not be rushed rather done with care and patience to secure the teeth in place to prevent shifting from happening again! I paid over 7,000 out of pocket for a mediocre job. And will forever steer everyone away from this office. I've been bamboozled.
