There are so many orthodontists that do not take a long-term, face-driven approach to treating their patients (and so many patients don't even know that's a possibility!) -- Dr. Patel does. It's not just about making teeth straight, it's about giving patients the best possible smile for their particular face. My daughter had a very narrow bite, and one of Dr. Patel's goals was to broaden her bite, and her smile. What a HUGE difference this has made in her appearance. Dr. Patel has also been able to give us a long-term plan for both my daughter and son - he looks at not only the present, but what would be best over time with teeth being lost, gained, and both of them growing. Orthodontic work affects you and your smile for your entire life, so Im very happy to have found Dr. Patel for my kids!

Unless I can't breathe, I would rather suffer alone at home. I've been to Dr's offices where you spend twice as much time waiting than receiving care. I have known Dr Garbis for a very long time since our kids grew up playing football together. But I only started going to him maybe 3 years ago along with my son. Let me tell you, what a world of difference. No longer are there any reluctance. The staff is professional, courteous, friendly and actually pretty fun to be around from start to finish. And they are really efficient. Hardly any waiting at any of the times I've been there. I even had to change schedule but none was available for the time that I needed for months. So I requested they put me on a wait list for that time if it showed up. Sure enough, they contacted me within a month because someone cancelled. Again, in and out like clockwork. There is absolutely nothing more I can expect from a healthcare provider. Thank you Dr Garbis and the entire staff.

I Went in to Correct ONE Tooth. I walked away losing MY SMILE!…read more I've lost a house before. I've lost a car before. But I never imagined one of the most painful losses of my life would be my smile. I originally came to Dr. Bonebreak to correct ONE tooth. I trusted his professional judgment, followed every instruction, attended my appointments, took time off work without pay, and visited my regular dentist every other month for cleanings costing approximately $200 each to ensure greatness. Between treatment, lost wages, and related expenses, I estimate this cost me well over $10,000. I did everything I was supposed to do. And I deeply regret ever beginning treatment here at Flagship Orthodontics. My lower left teeth now look noticeably different from my lower right teeth. Some appear tilted inward and overlapping. My alignment is uneven, my midline is off, and I'm very unhappy with my teeth and smile. I also have dark buccal corridors on both sides of my smile that make it appear narrow and unbalanced, a very dark space on both sides. When I brought these concerns to Dr. Bonebreak, he acknowledged seeing what I was pointing out. Yet instead of providing meaningful answers, I felt he repeatedly deflected. He flipped through photographs of other patients' mouths, pulled up images, and compared my teeth to other patients' teeth, seemingly suggesting my situation could be worse. I wasn't there to discuss someone else's smile. I was there because I was devastated by mine. I specifically asked whether getting braces again or pursuing another orthodontic treatment could help. He said no. Instead, he discussed breaking my jaw, surgery at Johns Hopkins, spending days in the hospital, and shaving down my teeth. It felt like he was making it sound as extreme as possible to deflect. Then came the comment that hurt the most. He suggested I have to start adjusting the way I smile. REREAD THAT AGAIN. His remedy is that I adjust my smile to hide the result of his treatment! Unbelievable. Then he said come back and see him in a month if I need to talk. For what? To talk about how I feel I've been wronged? It felt like pure manipulation. I'm 54 years old. I've been smiling this way my entire life. To spend thousands of dollars correcting my teeth and then be told to change the way I've naturally smiled for 54 years felt like a direct insult. I do a podcast, and my smile looks horrible on camera. I didn't pay an orthodontist to teach me how to smile. I paid him to correct my tooth. So I got a second opinion. Another orthodontist examined me and told me this CAN be corrected with braces. No breaking my jaw. No Johns Hopkins. No days in the hospital. The very treatment I was told wouldn't help. Now I'm facing thousands more out of pocket to fix the result of treatment I already paid for. What I find particularly troubling is that this dentist has been recognized as one of the top dentists, yet my experience left me feeling unheard, dismissed, and devastated. The money hurts. The lost time hurts. But neither compares to looking in the mirror and feeling uncomfortable with my own smile. I would pay millions to have that smile back. My tears are flowing as I write this review. I wish I had never started this treatment. I wish Dr. Bonebreak never touched me. If you're considering treatment here, get a second opinion first. This is my honest account of what happened in that office. I do not recommend this orthodontist.

My older son has received treatment there for the last two years. My younger son went in today to have an upper treatment started. He is 9 and will need a lot of work done over time. We agreed on this treatment plan pictured here in October. Today I was told that if I needed to also agree to start lower expander treatment, which would add thousands to the bill. I explained to the doctor that I was a single mom of three children and I needed to take the treatment one step at a time. We had agreed on this plan and I was prepared to pay for this and get the upper treatment today. Dr. Selnick said that she was "not comfortable taking me on as a client" because essentially she needs her clients to be able to jump when she says to jump. That if I didn't "trust her" enough to have a good relationship and allow her to begin all of the treatments at once that she couldn't treat my son. She said she would consider it if I signed a paper saying they thought it would be best to do both upper and lower treatments and I said I would sign it. Then she said "it doesn't matter, I don't think you are the right fit for me." So to be clear, the right fit for Dr. Selnick is someone with money, who doesn't ask questions, who doesn't expect the agreed-upon treatment or payment plan to be accepted. Be ready to be asked (or demanded) to pay exponentially more and asked to leave if you push back. I'm mortified.

She met regularly with other doctors on a team of dentists & orthodontists to discuss the different options that could be done for her, besides oral surgery to her jaw. We opted not for the surgery. It took a few years of artistic precision oral construction but in the end, it was very, very successful and we were all very pleased! After that, I was comfortable knowing someday she would do my minor teeth straightening-- and as an adult and a mom, I would not have anyone else work on my teeth for orthodontics. By far, she is one of a kind and it's obvious that she loves what she does as an orthodontist. Her patients are happy as well as the staff- and her mom works the desk also. That is a nice touch!
