I have 4 daughters that all needed braces. I took them for multiple consultation in our are and…read moreDr. Buchart is the only one I would allow to put braces on their teeth. My one daughter had a tooth laying on the side and a missing front tooth that never formed. I got recommendations to have surgery to wait until she is 18 and have a permenant implant. Dr Buchart was able to move the tooth up and move the other teeth so you cannot even tell there was a missing tooth. All 4 of my daughters now have beautiful smiles. Dr. Buchart also took my dental insurance and was the least expensive for what the insurance did not pay. His staff is always friendly and professional. I would recommend his office to anyone that needs braces.

It is easy for me to say, look closer at other orthos before choosing with this practice! If you must, cause this guy IS good, go with Invisalign!!! This review is not intended to hurt this practice, but you have to know what you are in for. The doctor does do great work but I felt left in the dark over my experience as he doesn't share any clincheck information. Doc expects patients to remember everything from the first visit years prior. So take notes. It would be helpful if the office actually stuck to its schedule. Best of luck if your kid breaks a bracket. You may not be able to get help when needed cause you never know which office will be open, which times, or days. Expect to leave messages that may or may not get returned. Also ask what type of appointment you have, cause they expect you to wait an hour and not tell you. Two locations with one doctor is a pretty obvious red flag that I learned the hard way. My treatment had to be extended due to how bad the office is run. resulting in keeping some trays hostage when it was time to move on. At the end of your treatment, be prepared for a large balance (not including the $500 over night trays) despite on time perfectly scheduled payments that should conclude at the end of this very specific time framed situation. I guess the billing department can't math. So glad this experience is over!!!!

Gross Incompetence & Deceptive Consultation: I initially went to Dr. Andre Kandy for two upper crowns and one lower bridge. The work was so poorly done that the crowns were too high, then he trim a lot of times but still making it impossible to chew even soft bread or salad or soft fish, only I can eat is soups. Instead of fixing his mistake, Dr. Kandy manipulated me into getting 6 additional crowns (3 upper left, 3 lower left) under the guise of "opening my bite." After installation, the upper and lower teeth DID NOT EVEN TOUCH. This left my remaining natural teeth bearing all the pressure, causing excruciating pain. 2. Scientifically Absurd & Unethical Lies: When I pointed out that my teeth didn't meet, Dr. Kandy gave me a ridiculous, insulting explanation: Your teeth are like a baby's; they will grow longer and eventually touch. An independent specialist later laughed at this claim, confirming it is biologically impossible for a 40-year-old adult. To "fix" the disaster he created, Dr. Kandy then tried to upsell me on doing crowns for all my front teeth as well! 3. Cowardly Leadership & Management: Dr. Arvind Philomin (Owner): I spoke to him several times. He personally promised to fix the issue and have his office schedule me for a redo. Instead, they ghosted me. He refused to take my subsequent calls, hiding behind his assistants who claimed they "passed on the message." Managers Lisa and Shirley: Completely complicit and irresponsible. They are only interested in taking your money, not in patient care or rectifying blatant malpractice. 4. The Resolution: Even after a specialist's report proved that Dr. Kandy's work was non-functional and technically failed, this office refused to refund my money. They are nothing but thieves. I eventually went to a different dentist office (Gordon E. Krurger at 6740 Crosswinds Drive, zipcode33710) who fixed everything. My new dentist successfully restored my bite WITHOUT needing to crown my front teeth as Dr. Kandy had "advised." After 2 weeks of new installation, I can choose everything without any hurting or painful. Summary: I lost nearly $20,000 to these greedy, unethical, and unskilled people. Do not set foot in this office or any other practice owned by Dr. Arvind Philomin. They are dishonest, they will take your money, and they will leave you in pain without taking any responsibility. Stay away from this immoral business! I have attached the specialist's report and photos of the crowns that were cut and removed after being made by this unethical office.

My daughter had a difficult case and I researched all treatment options and went to 3 other consults before deciding to go with Dr. Johnson. I felt he was very thorough in reviewing her case and came up with the best possible options. He's very knowledgeable not only with regular orthodontics such as malocclusions, but also regarding airway/breathing problems, etc. He takes his time and answers all your questions and explains everything thoroughly. I haven't had much contact with the front office other than checking in and scheduling appts, but it's always been pleasant and efficient. I've referred several friends as well and all seem happy with the practice.

Upon telling the tech of my situation, she had me put in my new retainer and remove it twice which induced severe jaw pain. She then left and the front desk staff started cranking loud music causing my ear drums to feel like they were bleeding. The pain was too much for me so I left the office filled with loud music and went to my car where the doctor then put his body blocking my car from leaving the parking lot demanding I give back MY retainer. I believe this doctor crossed the line by using his body to keep my car trapped in my parking spot. He wouldn't back away from my vehicle until I told him I was going to post a google review of my experience. Only then did he back up.
