I recently ordered retainers from their office for 450$. The plastic used is very cheap, cloudy and bubbly. It is chipping at several places which would be dangerous to our health. I went and asked them to remake it before posting the review. The second time also they sent me the same quality retainers. it's not worth. They are not maintaining the standards. Totally upset with their services read more

A very friendly place to get your braces, aligners etc. The office ambience is very spacious, well lit and looks clean. Dr. shemirani and the staff are very friendly. They have another location in the peninsula too if you'd like the location to be flexible. They educate well on the type of care needed for braces and dental hygiene. read more

Our two (now teenage) sons have been patients of Dr. Shemirani's for many years and have had nothing but a great experience. Dr. Shemirani is incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly in his approach which is what has continued to bring us back. He is also very realistic and accurate with setting expectations with us (as parents) on timelines which has been appreciated. In addition, his entire staff have also been kind and professional to work with making our experience an overall positive one! I highly recommend Dr. Shemirani to anyone who needs to navigate the orthodontic journey either for themselves or their child. read more

This facility is worse. I had to pay out of pocket because office was not able to submit the correct information to insurance on time. The front office is rude and was not even courteous to accept. The billing lady is so rude he made remarks like my son is not bleeding or anything when I told him my son feels like he suffering from discomfort with braces. Making this remark was very strong comment about your child. When I reached out to doctor he declined to address the issue. I will never recommend this doctor and facility to anyone. read more

First visit was very pleasant as employees in front and back greeted you with enthusiasm that you're there.. Walked me through procedure and steps needed for that day and asked repeatedly about my comfort..!! I'd recommend this office and staff to all my family and friends.. I'm definitely pleased to have found them.. read more

Before I start my review, let me begin by saying Dr. Shemirani provides great customer service, cares enough to get to know his patients, and is extremely kind! Staff is nice, I had an issue with a staff member but it was resolved in a professional manner and didn't affect future visits. When I initially decided to move forward with my treatment I was told it would take 18 months. I got my braces on May 2018 and throughout my treatment things went well and on schedule. I was told my treatment was complete and my braces were removed on Sept 2019 which is just 2 months shy of the full 18 months originally stated during my initial appointment/consultation. I had a few follow up visits after...molding for retainers, fitting and once because the wiring on my permanent retainer was out of place. During these visits I pointed out that I felt like one of my front tooth wasn't symmetrical. I pointed it out to a few staff members and Dr. Shemarani and they all said, "it looks good and it's aligned" I called a couple times to be seen or have an adjustment of sort with my retainer (if that's even possible) but I have not received a follow up. It could also be because of timing as Covid lock down happened in March of 2020. It's been 2 years since I had my braces removed, till this I can see and feel the difference and it's extremely bothersome. To others it may not be as noticeable but I notice it (everyday) and committing to something like this financially, you want it to be close to perfect. Otherwise, you'll just feel what I feel...unsatisfied. I'm not sure if having my braces removed 2 months early was the reason for that one tooth not moving forward and being symmetrical but I can't help thinking that time could have helped. Disappointed that my concern wasn't heard. Patient concerns is extremely important and should be heard especially for something as permanent as this. My braces were placed on May 2018. Removed on September 2019. My final couldn't have been on April 2018. read more

I had a great experience With Dr Bobby and his staff for over two years for my kid's braces treatment. Dr Bobby identified and explained the treatment plan very clearly at the beginning. Following this, my kid had multiple visits over the course of two years, and had a smooth experience every time. The staff was nice and friendly and it was easy to schedule and reschedule appointments, as required. The dental assistants working on setting up and replacing the braces were quite efficient and courteous. They gave clear instructions on do's and don'ts each time. Dr Bobby reviewed the progress at each visit and gave updates about the next steps. The end results have been great and I am quite satisfied with the overall experience. read more

We got to know about this great place for Braces through her school kid friends. My kid always loved going there. The staff took great care to make sure the experience was awesome for the kid and the parents. The way Dr Bobby talks to kids make them feel at ease during the procedures. I'd suggest a great place for your Orthodontist needs. read more

Dr. Shemirani is a very kind and friendly orthodontist. He is very approachable and willing to answer any questions you have. One time we had, what we thought was, an emergency and he came from home, before leaving to a personal engagement, and fixed he problem. That was when we first got the breaches on and didn't know what was an emergency and what wasn't. He was just as friendly that evening as he is everyday and from day one. He knows what he is doing and his assistants are very knowledgeable. He has plenty of assistants so you are never waiting long. There has never been a time when I was told that he is behind. They are very organized and professional. I live Dr. Shemirani's office and his whole staff! read more

Dr. Shemirani is amazing! Very nice with kids. My both daughters are going through braces/palate expander stage and they have no complaints. Staff is really good. Never had problem booking or rescheduling our appointment. We drive all the way from Dublin to see him. Very clean office. We would highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Shemirani and his staff are warm and engaging. My oldest daughter needed braces. The plan they put her on worked well. She only needed braces for about a year. They provide text reminders and the insurance processing was easy. I plan to take my other children here. read more

I would definitely recommend this orthodontist!!My sister and I first came here when we were in high school to get braces and we both had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Bobby Shemirani As well as all of the friendly staff members. Unfortunately I did not keep up with wearing my retainers so I had to return back after 11 years to get braces again. Ans once again I am so impressed with Dr. Bobby's work on my teeth. My teeth looked perfect the first time I got my braces off and I'm so exited to see how good they're going to look when I get them off next week! Everyone here really cares about you individually I always leave smiling after every appointment. The conversations are always great! They are Very professional. Thanks again for the wonderful Experience! read more

Dr. Shemirani is amazing but the lady handle the billing, she is so rude and never help. When you ask, she always said I have submit your claim but she never did. I'm insurance broker since 2004, very easy for me to check if they did submit the claim to the carriers or not. Dr. Shemirani should hire the people more professional not like that's. read more

Love going to this office all the staff is very respectful and helpful. And have continually been helpful throughout the pandemic. From the consultation to today, Dr.Bobby and the staff have made my treatment process easy. Dr.Bobby made sure that I understood my treatment and took time to kindly help me understood the length of the treatment process and what it would entail. He also makes sure that I know where I am in the process of the treatment and makes sure I'm happy with the direction we are going in. Lucien and Sharon are the first people to greet me at the office. They are kind and make me feel welcomed in the office. They help me to reschedule appointments at time that are convenient for me. I recommend signing up for text reminders to never forget an appointment! Spencer, Karl, and Hava are the best. They are the ones who often change my brackets and adjust my wires. They are quick and gentle. They always make me feel comfortable and always answer any questions I have! I'm glad that I picked them as my orthodontist office!! read more

Awesome orthodontist for kids and adults alike. The process of braces took only 2 years! I didn't even have to pull some of my teeth. Whenever we had questions or very rarely problems, they were there to help us. The appointmenta always run and on time, even if they are busy. Definitely recommend Bobby Shemirani for a quick, easy, and efficient treatment. They are ready for any challenge when it comes to any teeth. read more

Of all the dentist I have visited, Dr. Shemirani is the best. He speaks very gently and explains in detail. His team is very kind and joyful. I would recommend Dr. Shemirani for your dental needs. read more

Bobby Shemirani is the best orthodontist in the Fremont area!!! he is very knowledgeable educated with what he does. don't waste your time going anywhere else my teeth came out amazing!!! Thanks again Doc from Sabrina... read more

My son is undergoing braces treatment with the doctor at the Fremont office. No complaints about the doctor so far but I find the front desk staff very rude and curt. Braces takes months and it is so unpleasant to deal with these people for so long. They do not have on site general dentist for cleaning. This means you need to take 3 appointments total for cleaning- 1 with your general dentist for cleaning and 2 with Dr.Shemirani's office before and after the cleaning for removing and re-fitting the braces. And not to mention the driving back and forth - half day affair! The hard part of all is getting the doctor's appmnt. They suggest you book months ahead but with high schoolers and their myriad activities this is almost impossible. The doctor only works for a few days in Fremont and is booked completely. This has been a problem for us. Though I have nothing against the doctor, the logistics are hard to navigate with his facility! read more

I got my braces done with Dr. Shemirani, and I have to say I am very pleased with both the results and my interactions with Dr. Shemirani and his staff. Before choosing Dr. Shemirani, I went to 2 other orthodontists recommended get consultations. The thing that stood out about Dr. Shemirani is that during my consultation with him, he was very straightforward with what he thought I needed and realistic with the timeline. The other 2 places I went to gave me two different recommendations that honestly felt like they were piling on the treatments, time, and money to keep me as a patient for longer. Even during the consultations, it felt like they weren't giving me the time of day considering you are about to spend thousands on your teeth. Dr. Shemirani answered all of my questions up front, and even showed pictures and diagrams to support what he said. One of my other consultations told me I needed 5 different treatments (wisdom teeth extraction, braces, crown adjustment?, and two others) in less than 10 minutes. Safe to say, Dr. Shemirani made me feel like my teeth were in good hands with him, and I was not being told to do more than necessary. The staff are also extremely professional, amicable, and respond to emails and calls in a timely fashion. Front desk staff, especially Shannon, were such a pleasure to deal with, and they treat everyone fairly with how they take appointments for days that are popular. For example, you could only make appointments 2 months in advance, which made making appointments on Saturdays easier because as a college student, I had to come down from campus to get my teeth looked at. With payments as well, if I forgot to do a payment one month, I did not feel pressured to complete it that month - I could simply come in next month and pay both months' payments at the same time. I do want to say thought that this may be because I try to be a good patient in general, and I definitely saw some patients/parents of patients be a little more aggressive and quite frankly uncooperative with front desk staff, but all staff remained very professional. The atmosphere in the office and while you're sitting in the chair with the dental hygienists, you never feel uncomfortable. As long as you can hear them, they let you listen to music with earphones in, especially if it's a longer visit. They were all so fun to talk to, and the atmosphere is also definitely kid-friendly. Last but definitely not least, I am very happy with my teeth. I didn't necessarily need them before, but wow I'm super surprised at just how much more confident and open I feel with smiling. Overall, I would highly recommend going to Dr. Shemirani because 1) he is straightforward and realistic with what you need, and won't pile on services you don't need, 2) the amazing front desk staff and dental hygienists, and 3) what my dad likes to call "a Colgate-worthy smile" he wants to send to all my extended family (not that I let him do that). read more

Best place to get your Braces on . I had mine put in and I am back to get my daughter's . Very good experience both time . Dr. Bobby is very knowledgeable and his staff is so pleasant and wonderful to work with . Recommend it highly . read more

Very professional. Dr. Bobby has a good sense of humor and friendly staff.

Ever heard the term "dont take any wooden nickels"? Well here its not a bad thing! Wooden tokens are given as rewards to kids, and can be exchanged and traded in for gift cards, movie tickets and cash!! Better than floss right?? Dr. Shemrani turned my fearful kiddo, into a confident braced beauty! Great services, pricing and accepts most insurance! read more

Though I have not been to any other Orthodontist... Dr Shemirani and his staff are excellent at their job. I was referred by my dentist here for my kids...and later found out that many of my friend's kids also got their treatment here. Dr. Shemirani explains the entire treatment very nicely and is very approachable and friendly. He does not hesitate to resolve any doubts that u might have during the treatment. He is so nice and gentle to kids that kids do not hesitate to go for their appointment either. In fact he had nice little setup to keep kids occupied with games/TV during their wait period... He has a nice reward system for his little patients which binds them into his little community. Also a little Starbucks station is cool. The front desk staff is also very patient and provides all the information that u need. His other staff is also very efficient. His work is excellent off course in braces as well as other orthodontia related treatments. Work gets done in the estimate that he gives. He does lot of follow up visits which ensures that the work he has done is in tact even later on. read more

Dr. Shemirani and his team are the best! They are experts in their field, gentle with their technique and really accomodating with your schedule.

We will come back again when she needs braces for her entire mouth. I'm a happy patient as well! read more

I would definitely recommend Dr. Bobby Shemirani and his team to anyone ! I appreciate the great customer service from everyone. I'm a curious person and I love just knowing the process of things and what's happening throughout my treatment. For a couple months there was a problem with my insurance but I couldn't be thankful enough that they got everything handled!! I felt so bad that my insurance company was being difficult! My treatment was estimated to be 1.5 - 2 years long. Completed at 1 years 9 months. Time honestly flew so fast. My teeth were pretty bad before my treatment. Can't believe how amazing they look now. Big thanks again! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Shemirani to everyone who need a better smiles; I especially encourage adults who is like me who can use confident smile socially and professionally. read more

Bobby Shemirani is a pleasant Orthodontic-person, but his practice is too busy and sometimes he is too. Staff is friendly and welcoming, especially the receptionist. I wish I knew her name. She does try to problem solve but staff do have limits. There are several times Bobby Shemirani said with great confidence that broken brackets are easy problems that can be fixed quickly. However, my experience has found that it is not true. I ended up finding the processes difficult with scheduling appointments and expensive. I do understand Orthodontic treatment can be hard to predict, especially when the patient is a teenager, going to school, who is active in multiple sports. The most difficult thing is scheduling appointments. If you work, have a child in school, and has activities, and have a family schedule, it is difficult to make an appointment. Available appointments for loose or broken brackets have a narrow time slot. This Orthodontic has two offices, one in Foster City and Fremont. Perhaps that is why it is so difficult to get an appointment, especially AFTER braces have been put in. I'm sure there are other Orthodontics just as qualified in the area, and will work with scheduling appointments in a reasonable manner and time frame. read more

I was referred to Dr. Bobby by a friend who spoke very highly of him and his staff, and after meeting them, I would have to agree! I had been to another Ortho consultation before meeting Dr. Bobby but didn't feel comfortable starting treatment at that office. In fact, I waited a while because I wanted to find the right Dr. The good vibes started the moment I walked in and was greeted by the friendly and efficient front desk staff. The office was very clean, organized, and had lots of cool gadgets like a Starbucks coffee machine, and a game/TV room for the kids. I noticed several kids in there keeping busy while they waited. Nice touch. Dr. Bobby himself was extremely knowledgeable, professional and answered ALL of my questions patiently and made sure I understood my treatment options. I honestly could not have asked for a better experience and am actually looking forward to starting treatment with Dr. Bobby! read more
