All I can say is that Maryland Advanced Orthodontics is AMAZING! All of the staff there are so nice…read moreand helpful. My oldest was in need of braces. We had gone two other places and were referred here by an acquaintance. Dr. Lavine was great with our initial assessment and explained everything. We felt super comfortable and just loved the overall energy. They really work with you and assist with insurance claims and payment plans. I can't say enough about Janet either. She was so helpful with all of the payment arrangements and any insurance issues we faced. The check in process is so easy, and her appointments always ran on time. The technicians always come out and give updates and suggestions, which makes it very patient focused. They offer various times, which makes it super convenient for working parents and schedules. My youngest will most likely need braces and I'm thinking about going ahead with mine as well. I will most definitely be coming to MAO!

This review is based on my first impressions of this place and consultation experience. The…read morelocation of this practice is convenient but since it's in a shopping center parking can be full in front of the office but no big deal. The staff were so nice when we came into the office and welcomed us in. The wait was not long and they gave me a tour of the place so my daughter could feel at home if we decided to go with them. Dr. Levine was super knowledgeable and detailed with the consultation. He has 30 years of experience and my friend told me she went there years ago and they did such a great job with her teeth. Reason we did not go with them is the distance from where we live. I wanted to shoot my shot because I heard nothing but great things about this place. Pricing is better than North Potomac Ortho too. Definitely shop around before committing, it makes a difference. This would have been first pick if it wasn't far from home.

In general, the orthdontistry industry and the overall cosmetic-medical sciences is very oriented…read moreto the desires of the individual client... that said lots of promises/guarantees will be made in order to assuage the fears and egos of the clients. Whether things turn out well, depends on some factors, e.g., techniques, severity, compliance, complications, etc. I believe this practice to be for the most part very professional, flexible, trustworthy/reliable. And since orthodontics heavily rely on the young, Dr. Groisser's uses my fun gimmicks of rewards and prizes - which is understandable to get children to be compliant with dental braces hygiene. This is my personal experience: As an adult, my 2 front teeth had a wide gap between them. Roughly 10 years ago when I was 20 yrs old I did about 8-10 months of invisalign and it turned out satisfactory. However, Dr. Groisser had to adhere a metal wire on the back side of my front teeth and I had to wear retainer regularly... permanently. (I didn't expect that!) But as the years went by I used less and less frequently my retainer and eventually I lost the original and the spare. And the wire behind my teeth had fallen out a few times when i was living abroad for some years where then I had to get them re-adhered. Eventually earlier this year, the wire once again broke off and without a retainer either the gaps of my teeth opened up. 10 years after invisalign, I decided to do the traditional braces for 6-7 months. I was given a gracious discount as a repeat client. Now at the end of my treatment, I have to continue to wear retainer regularly to maintain the position of my teeth... permanently. This time no wire in the back of the 2 front teeth. I can't say I'm satisfied 100% ... with my entire experience I would say a 90% satisfaction. Ambience: clean, professional, modern contemporary offices in Gaithersburg, Clarksburg & Hagerstown. Dr. Groisser: man of good character, friendly and busy. Very busy, but he makes an effort to know the clients. Orthodontic techs: most of the time, they all were very professional, friendly and efficient in their work. *** However, on the appointment to remove the braces I had an unpleasant experience. The tech had to abrade away the adhesives on my teeth with metal tools. This tech used a lot of force that ended up chipping a couple of my teeth. Dr. Groisser undoubtedly noticed and smoothed out the edges.

The location is great! Plenty of parking! The office staff here are super super super nice! I mean like you don't see customer service like this often nowadays. Adriana, Lauren and Sylvia are amazing! Adriana did my child's installation and my daughter loves her! Super sweet and gentle. Sylvia at the front desk? Love her!! Please don't let her leave! During the consultation the entire team and Dr. G was so informative and gave the best recommendations that will suit my child's needs. I shopped around three different places to get quotes and treatment recommendations but Dr. G got my business! I'm so happy for my child because I know putting on braces can be scary for most kids but this place is so welcoming and my child feels safe! If you have Guardian dental insurance this place is in network too. Thank you for taking care of Mariah! We were able to get the install the next day after the consultation. Super quick and efficient here.

I went in because a dentist told me that the bonding was loose on my permanent retainer. Dr. Fritz…read moresaid that the bonding is not loose and I can likely keep the retainer for another few years before it would need to be replaced. I had gone in asking for a replacement, but he said honesty is the best policy and frankly, this does not need replacement unless you'd really like it done. He did not charge me anything for examining the teeth and the advice - he only would have charged for the replacement, which he himself counseled was not necessary. I appreciate a professional who is clearly not up-selling. He has real professional ethics and puts patient care first. The staff were also extremely friendly, kind and helpful. I would highly recommend.

Dr. Griffin has always had a steady hand, a wonderful bedside manner, and a solid office staff. Biggest surprise of the visit. No cavities! "Now when you say no [cavities], do you mean 1%" "No, I'm talking no [cavities], cavity free!" *Little ode to my favorite Chris Farley SNL skit But I do have to go back for scaling. #SadTrombone Don't know what scaling is? It's essentially when they take this high powered vibrating needle hook machine and scrape the s-hockey-indigio-trapeze out of your teeth for hours. But it's so violent on your mouth that they have to numb you up with like 8 novocaine shots; and do one side of your mouth at a time. monotone yay Anywho! Not Dr. Griffin's fault, obviously mine. Well, there's surely no other Dentist I'd rather go to, especially to have my mouth assaulted by such a tortuous machine, and that should speak volumes for what I think of her practice. Wish me luck! And book Dr. Griffin for yourself soon. Hopefully I'll learn my dentist lesson this time!

Both are very…read moresnippy and rude and catch an attitude if you question them about anything dealing with your dental insurance. My dental insurance is different than most people who have Cigna. I tried to tell both of the receptionist and got a very snippy and rude answer which turned me off immediately. Then I was told I had to pay EVERYTHING up front and would have to be reimbursed via Cigna. Per cigna this is not allowed with any doctors who work or are recommended by Cigna. So I pay for my Dental guard up front along with my X-Rays that I was told I needed. Then I find out by Cigna dental that I was OVER CHARGED because Cigna patients have a set amount they are pre negotiated with the Dr's office and that they should have NOT over charged me. Then I get a third party check from them, that no bank wants to touch because they are stating that it needs to be cashed by them. When I called to ask for another check the receptionist caught a attitude and very rudely finally stated I could pick up another check.... Here's the catch. They work from 8:30 to 5! SO DO I. Go on my LUNCH? LMAO! They close from 12 to 2 p.m. to set up for afternoon appts. So now I have to go and take personal leave to get a check issued to me! How wonderful! As for the actually doctor... he seems very nice and maybe needs to get new ppl and new policies. Maybe if he wasn't giving away Apple Ipod touches I wouldn't have to be ripped off but maybe that's just my thought process. I would recommend you maybe find another place to go to, unless you just have tons of money to give up front with the chance you may get OVER CHARGED and screwed over then this is your place!
