I have been receiving treatment at Rad Orthodontics (at 3 of their various offices) since I was…read morearound 11 years old. I am now 23. I have received excellent orthopedic work from this practice. Their staff (particularly Jebi, and every receptionist and prep staff I've ever me there) has also been incredibly kind and helpful to me. Dr. David Rad always takes the time to answer any questions about treatment and always makes me feel comfortable. Rad Orthodontics also offers payment plans to aid in paying high fees for things such as invisalign. My only complaint is that Dr. Mehdy Rad has upset me to the point of tears two times when I was still under 18. Once, when I was around 14, I believe, Dr. Mehdy was removing glue from my teeth with a drill and asked me to move my tongue out of the way. He did not specify which direction to move it. I could not remember where exactly he was drilling, so I just tried to move my tongue down. Without waiting more than 10 seconds, he said "Ok, don't move it" **and proceeded to put the drill back in my mouth, against my tongue** My mother was sitting with me and witnessed this. I did not bleed, but this scared me, and hurt very badly. To this day, I am afraid whenever a dental drill goes anywhere near my mouth. This experience was traumatizing. It is just one of example of Dr. Mehdy's lack of kindness and patience. There was still glue left on my teeth after this. Several years later, I still could not handle the feeling of the drill in my mouth or on my teeth. During another appointment when Dr. Mehdy was using the drill, I stated that I needed to stop. He stopped, and then said: "I have hundreds of patients every week. None of them besides you has a problem with this." His reply was invalidating and rude. My problem with dental drills started because of him. In general, Dr. Mehdy Rad does good orthopedic work; his unkindness does not affect this in any way. But he is condescending and impatient. I would not recommend his services, especially to anyone who might be sensitive, like kids. Dr. David Rad is much kinder.

I ended up not making an appointment after I called and found out that, unlike what their website…read moreappears to claim, they don't actually do sedation dentistry. Why do you have it on your website when you don't actually do it? Why is there no disclaimer that you don't actually do it? That's quite unethical. Additionally, they told me to remove my Google review and then told me that I was never there and therefore I wasn't allowed to review them. That's not how it works people. I tried to make an appointment with you only to find out that your website was misleading customers by making it look like you have dental sedation when you don't. Then you lied about not having it on your website. You do, in fact, have it on your website. Right under the dental anxiety section, and when you click on that link, it literally says at the top of the page. "IMPROVE YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT WITH DENTAL SEDATION" That's incredibly misleading. I'd hate to think what your care quality is considering this wasn't up to par and you decided to try to discredit people who point it out. Not my fault you decided to mislead people on your website. You should fix that.

Fast forward to today (after getting my wisdom teeth removed) I had my braces put on.

She took an additional ~5 - 10 min to counsel me thoroughly on how to properly manage my oral care moving forward now that I have braces. I was referred to this practice from my general dentist when I mentioned at my annual cleaning last year that I wanted braces. I am happy to be under their care as I go through my braces journey.

This negative review is about her lack of coordination for almost a year that prevented me from receiving treatment. I contacted her multiple times and through various means (emails, fax and phone calls) as she was always delayed in her response to my inquiries. She claimed that her delay was due to her part-time work schedule. In addition, she consistently maintained it was my insurance providers fault. Yet when I would contact my insurance provider they claimed they never received anything from the doctors office. I literally kept a log of how and when I would contact her as well as my insurance provider. Alas, I finally gave up after a year of chasing treatment which worked out in my favor. I found another orthodontist by the name of Dr. Hickory, who has an amazing staff. Specifically, the Director of Operations Ms. Christy Van Ness was able to see me on my day off and literally just a few weeks later I was approved by my insurance carrier for treatment. Plus, parking at Dr. Hickory's office is free unlike the Orthodontic Studio. I wonder if the doctor is aware of the multiple lapses in assistance? She is loosing business as at least one other patients similar negative experience has been documented here in another Yelp review.

I wish I could give Dr. Hickory more than 5 stars. I truly believe he is the greatest orthodontist…read morein America. I first signed up for Invisalign through a Living Social deal elsewhere. Sure, that service was 1/2 the cost of Dr. Hickory..... but that service was run by a non-orthodontist dental assistant! I quickly decided against the cheap route when I was informed that he wasn't sure if my crooked teeth were too extreme for Invisalign. (they weren't) Then I found Dr. Hickory, and all my worries were over. Dr. Hickory lives alone above his extravagantly decorated Dupont Circle office. Why is this a good thing? Because it means he offers Saturday appointments! I've never heard of a dentist or orthodontist offering such convenient appointment times. Just avoiding the mess of having to leave my office during the work-week for appointments was worth the additional price. But the value didn't end there. From the waiting room and from speaking with Dr. Hickory himself, new patients will quickly learn he was one of the first adopters of Invisalign treatments, and keeps up on all of its advances. Apparently, Invisalign's technology has evolved so much that it can do everything braces can, and more. Dr. Hickory knows how to make those advances work for you, with rapid but painless results. Not once did the treatment make me feel sore or require aspirin. This was my second time with orthodontist service. As a child, I remember having monthly appointment with an orthodontist, with a doctor changing metal wires on a monthly basis. With Invisalign, a 10 month treatment only required about 5 appointments total. Dr. Hickory always answered my questions promptly and reasonably. For example, another orthodontist in DC suggested that I get drastic bone-adjusting vanity surgery before Invisalign. However, Dr. Hickory agreed with my dentist, and thought such a step was too far. Thanks to Dr. Hickory, I didn't have to wear a post-surgery brace on my head and drink my meals for a month through a straw. Instead, he made adjustments on the computer with Invisalign to compensate for the slight bone misalignment. Problem solved. In addition, Dr. Hickory took time to personally inspect my progress and order a set of adjustment aligners at no additional price. I had the option to do another set (a re-re-adjustment?) if needed. Dr. Hickory's staff is professional, polite, helpful, and cheerful. They were helpful with setting up a payment plan and are always flexible with appointment scheduling. They posted pictures of their wild Halloween party on their Facebook wall, and you could tell they treat each other like family. My treatment ended yesterday, and on my way out the door they offered me a bottle of champagne to take home. Quite ridiculous, but fitting for a quirky Dupont Circle office. it was very thoughtful. Now, my teeth are straight and I am no longer self conscious about my smile. With permanent retainers installed behind 12 teeth (6 top, 6 bottom), along with a plastic retainer to wear at night, my straight teeth aren't going anywhere. Dr. Hickory's top quality service is worth more than he charges. After 10 years of crooked teeth, I couldn't be happier. Thank you, Dr. Hickory.

I just thought it needed a little tweaking. 2 years later (entirely my fault that it's been so long--I'm one of those "wear my aligners at night" people just because I tend to graze during the day) I looked at a pic of me from 2015 and my smile is SO much nicer and more even than it was. He pays such close attention to detail that you don't realize just how much better your smile can look--until it does! And his staff is fantastic. I love them all but I am always happy when I meet with Carlos! He is personable, professional and incredibly well-versed in all of the workings of Invisalign. Every I see him, I leave feeling like I learned something new. You can tell he loves what he does and he passes that excitement onto the patient. Invisalign is pretty incredible in and of itself, but Dr. Hickory and his team are truly amazing at what they do. Every appointment is quick but thorough (they don't overbook so you're seen when you're scheduled) and the office is simply gorgeous! They may be slightly higher than other orthodontists but you get so much more than you pay for. The expertise and stellar customer service are worth it.
