Update to original review posted on April 10, 2025 re: complimentary consultation…read more Previously, a review was left expressing concerns about a consultation fee. The office, particularly Dr. Tyska addressed the situation. Consultations are complimentary, and the fee was promptly refunded. Dr. Tyska and his assistant Kristen showed genuine concern and listened to feedback, demonstrating a commitment to patient care. The professionalism and dedication to resolving the issue were impressive. My daughter will soon be getting here braces with Dr. Tyska. This recent experience shows me that patient satisfaction is prioritized and that the office is committed to resolving issues.

So disappointed with this business. Buyer beware when it comes to "complimentary" consultation for…read moreorthodontics. The 2 stars is because we once had a great experience 5 years ago. But recently, I had such an unfortunate interchange with their office manager and staff. I called to book an appointment for my daughter to get a quote on another round of braces (she never wore her retainers and teeth shifted back). The front desk told me there would be a fee for return clients but not for new clients. That didn't make sense to me so I said no thank you. I already received a complimentary consultation elsewhere with a quote. And they did NOT charge me. The front desk told me she would have someone call me back. Sure. I got a call back and told the same thing. Ok. Then I proceeded to cancel my appointment. The office (wish I remembered her name), said she would ask the doctors and call me back (again). Days later I received a call and told there would be no fee. Great. My husband brought my daughter yesterday and sure enough, I am charged $85.00. Called and spoke to the office manager. She handled it very poorly, and kept explaining that they did a lot of "extra's" and that the $85 was actually a great deal. The thing is, I didn't ask for any extra's. I just wanted to know if I would be paying the same price for another round of braces and to see if I could get some kind of discount as a returning patient. This manager made a point to say that there was no record of my previous conservations and therefore, she would not do anything. I have worked for years in private practice - Manhattan - selling elective medical cosmetic procedures. I understand how this works. It is not about the money but about the practice keeping their word and honoring their commitment to the patient. I spoke to them 3x before our actual appointment and they still charged me. I am so disappointed with how they now run their business. Very sad indeed.

Dr. Walla engages well with the children, and clearly explains the "nuts & bolts" of it all.

And families get a case manager to contact for any questions or concerns as treatment occurs. Orthodontics has come a *long way* since I had them!

He should not be working with the public. His interaction alone with me makes me want to leave this group I've been at for years because of how awful he made me feel.

I will also be looking for a new practice since they seem to think it's ok for doctors to behave so disgustingly to their patients.

Only after she removed my existing tooth material did she bother to check if she actually had a matching composite color in stock. She did not.She then struggled significantly to shape the new tooth to match my other front tooth, explicitly stating to me that she "is not used to doing square teeth." After three failed attempts in the chair, I left. Over the weekend, it became clear how badly she botched the job--I was left with a visible, uneven gap in the front of my mouth.When I called to reschedule and fix this, Dr. Zaman personally called me back and stated she would rather just issue me a full refund so I could go elsewhere. However, on the day of my rescheduled date, the office called me twice asking why I missed the appointment. The front desk had absolutely no record or knowledge of Dr. Zaman offering a refund.Nobody in this office knows what is going on. I am currently out $551, walking around with a botched front tooth, and being given the run-around by management. I want my $551 refunded immediately so I can pay a competent dentist to fix this mess. Avoid this location.
