had such a great experience at this orthodontist office from start to finish. Dr. Micah always heard my needs and made sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout my treatment. Jasmin was always cool and made every appointment comfortable, made the whole process way less stressful. Diana at the front desk was friendly, and super quick with checking me in, which made visits smooth and easy. I'm so happy with my results and would definitely recommend this office to anyone looking for orthodontic care. read more

Was scheduled for an appointment and delayed for hours. This destroyed my entire day and left me with complications.

FRAUD!!! STAY AWAY!!!!! Save your time, effort & money! This office will bring you in just to lie to your face and say the complete opposite of what they said over the phone. They knew they didn't provide the service & still brought me in for X-rays & consultation just to charge my insurance. read more

Thank you so much for a pleasant dental appointment visit. Shawnee (I hope that's how you spell her name) was very sweet and kind and very helpful!! Also the rest of the front desk, ladies were very helpful and accommodating. If you want good quality care and a dentist/orthodontist that will be straight up with you and not waste your time then this is the place to go to!! read more

I've used Snow for three separate sets of retainers, and in 2024 got ones that don't fit properly. In going back and forth trying to get them to fit properly I was expected to pay an $80 visit fee to talk with someone and hopefully get them adjusted. I had to argue to get the fee waived (and believe me I am not comfortable arguing.). Long story short I have retainers that don't fit right and to waive the fee made me sign something saying they did and no further adjustments will be made. read more

Both Jazmines that work there are amazing wonderful people! They're always so kind to me and always make sure I have the best experience and are always so accommodating, understanding, and they really care about their patients and show that every single time I go for an appointment. They're the only reason I come back! read more

When they finally finished the treatment make me wait for 5 months for my next appointment to remove the holders of my Invisalign,

They will make an ortho appointment for you in office then change your appointment without telling you, so when you show up to the scheduled appointment they tell you that you are not on the schedule for that day and that your appointment is weeks or months away. We drive over an hour and a half to get his care from the Valencia location because it is what is closest to us now and we only had 1-2 visits left; so it didn't make sense to start over somewhere else closer to Santa Barbara, but I honestly wish we had. Save yourself the money and headache and go somewhere else. It looks shiny and nice/new on the outside, but once you're in, it's a nightmare. Only go here if you truly have no other option and insist that you get all appointment reminders emailed to you so you can prove the date and time in court to establish a pattern of them cancelling and pushing care out for months at a time making the process take years longer than it should and they charge you for the increase in visits that you need because of the inconsistent care. read more

Horrible organization on the business front! Perhaps not professional side but definitely business side. Our dentist recommended this place for our daughter. They have been double paid for their service as we were not aware of our Ortho coverage through ore dental plan. I have been given the run around for over 6 months regarding our reimbursement to no avail. Their last promise was to expect a check between 9/5 to 9/8. A total farce! Unreal.. read more

I wish I did more research on this location in Encino before I picked them. Initially the Dentist was great, I only had an issue with one assistant but you can tell she was new so I gave grace when my son would see her on his appointment. The Dentist went of Pregnancy Leave, and that's when I experienced issues. In my contract we agreed on upper and lower braces, after the 28 months they never put on the lower braces and then decided a phase 2 was needed (which ones something completely different if his tooth didn't move down on its own) it's did! However once the new Dentist came in they didn't stick with the plan tried to charge me an additional $4000+ I told them remove his top braces we would not be continuing, they tried to have me sign a waiver so please read ! Basically it's states you're completely satisfied. However they did not hold up there part of the contract. They only provided upper braces. I would suggest try another company or their Valencia location. My sister used that location and had a great experience and that was the reason I went ahead with this location, it was a tad closer for me. I would suggest not working with them. Not truthful and will definitely add on after the 1st phase saying 2nd phase is needed. Luckily I once in the Dentistry field so I was not lost in the sauce! read more

My experience here, has been nothing short of amazing, Although we've through 3 doctors ( no fault of theirs: One left to start his own practice, the other got pregnant, and then the current one) we've had the same Assistant throughout our 4 years! Neda is a God sent for us! From her gentleness to patient mannerism to being an advocate for my daughter. The whole staff is fantastic, from the front desk, the financial staff and the assistants. But Neda has our heart I'm grateful read more

$500 us for a retainer that in February 2021 was $300?. it is because of inflation they said. That is not inflation, that is just greedy. Be careful when starting a treatment there. Sales is the only thing that matters. We are not the marketing department and we will give you the $320 us price you had (of course I was not going to pay $500) The retainers are just made with the most cheap materials.. just be aware read more

Snow Orthodontics - Orthodontists Near Me - Encino, California

Wow this place has gone down hill. I used to come here a long time ago when they were located on Balboa, it was a different practice back then, now the feel of this office is more like a factory/mill. Take a look at my picture, these are the glasses they want you to wear during treatment, especially during a time of Covid you should at least clean items such as these I understand companies need to grow, but the lack of communication was very upsetting. If you were looking for a personal level of attention, I would recommend against here. read more

Terrible office stay away! They are very unorganized and scheduling is awful! I was forced to go here when our other ortho retired under covid So disappointing and will not recommend. read more

I did my Invisalign treatment with Snow Orthodontics years ago, but I desperately needed a new retainer/aligner-- it was my first time in this new office. I went in about three weeks ago and I've been in bed with Covid ever since-- or technically since 48 hours later when my symptoms started. Yes, I am 100% positive I got Covid in this office. Why am I sure? Because I have been under the same lockdown procedures since Mar 2020 because I am immunocompromised. And because I literally went nowhere else --not even a supermarket or gas station, nor did I see another human in fact, in the time where I could have been infected. But in spite of all the hard work and isolation to stay safe and healthy, I got sick in a Medical Office. How ironic. I realize this office is in Encino and the care about Covid may be low, but this is a medical office and there are rules-- the first thing I noticed when I walked in was that out of the two receptionists, one was not wearing a mask. I also noticed five people in the waiting room without masks. There were plenty of signs up all over the reception area asking people to be masked, but let's be real--if your receptionist -- the first person you see, is not masked or asking people to mask up, why would the people in the waiting room? I spent about 10 minutes in that waiting area with all these maskless people and then I was brought to the back. Granted, you might say- well, Bonnie- why would that matter? You were masked and then you only took your mask off in the treatment room, right? Correct- now go look at the photos- this office is a big open room where the waiting room has no full separating walls from the reception area...super awesome during a pandemic. Stupid me thought about leaving and not keeping my appointment, but guys, you have to understand-- my braces cost like $5500 and a new retainer cost $550... this is over $6,000 put into my mouth-- I was so desperate to keep my teeth from moving! Unfortunately, I was unable to keep my appointment the next week to pick up my retainer. The office was nice enough to mail my aligners, which is helpful because it's been nearly three weeks and I'm still super sick. Given that I've lost more than $1500 from missing the ability to work while being sick from Covid, saving money on my teeth is even more important when you think about it. Please be careful of this office, especially if you are immunocompromised-- understand it is not a safe place and there are no Covid precautions being taken. My mom was super pissed and called to complain on my behalf and ask for the aligners to be mailed-- apparently they were not very nice to her and SWORE no receptionist had ever not worn a mask. While I can't prove it, I'm going to go ahead and bet I wasn't magically there the one day people didn't wear masks. The lying is not a good look, guys-- at least admit you don't give a shit. I hope everyone is wearing a mask in this office now as the numbers are quite high, and again, I'm not asking for weird accomodations-- there are actual rules for medical offices- it's not that complicated. This isn't a retail store, the changing of regulations has never applied to you guys-- there should not have been a single maskless person in this office in the last 2.5 years and there should be major other precautions taken. Very disappointing. read more

You should go here if you want to be deceived and have your teeth messed up. I never had any orthodontist with a medical degree perform on my teeth since I got my teeth straightening treatment. I requested an orthodontist, but still never got one. My teeth are okay looking but I was expecting better quality for the price I paid. read more

Okay, they are probably not the least expensive option. That being said, you get what you pay for. Top notch facilities with the most advanced equipment I've ever seen. The staff members are ALL lovely, all hygienists, and a FEMALE orthodontist! She's so kind and gentle w the kids. They validate parking, and have a very easy monthly payment plan. It's also always impressively clean! read more

This dental business is a shocking disappointing circus of a office. I have never in my life experienced such strange business practice and the feeling like the sale is most important over a patient. This place lacks kindness and patient care. I am so sad that my previous dentist had to sell to this company. The billing department is non existent and the receptionist is the one that fields the calls so you never get anywhere with resolving a billing matter. My fellow yelpers, there are other dentists to go to that are true, honest and caring. This place is just wrong. Also, Dr. Snow does NOT practice what he preaches - his teeth are not taken care of From the pictures I have seen! read more

HORREIBLE TREATMENT. if you want your moneys worth while feeling like a PATIENT go to Lasting Dental Impressions instead. they gave me my Invisalign trays and said see you in 7 months! Lasting Impressions is open late on wednesdays and will schedule you for check ups every 2 weeks to answer any questions and make sure everything is ok. MEANWHILE SNOW ORTHO leaves you in the dust and only checks up on you to pay. HORRIBLE i can't believe i came here to take care of my teeth read more

Christina helped me with all the questions and concerns I had. She definitely put a smile on my face, caliauror

This place is very unorganized my daughter had a appointment scheduled I got confirmation email and text with time and date Came in and they had switched her day and time with no reminder call or email .Very bad first impression. read more

I wish one would be allowed to give zero stars. I am a dentist. My daughter's Orthodontist sold his practice to Snow. My daughter just needed to finish up her invisalign treatment, so I thought this should be easy enough and did not bother with trying to find a new orthodontist. This place looks very high tech, everyone is wearing black and I guess it's all build to impress people, but in reality it's filled with incompetence. My daughter's attachments kept falling off the day after they were placed. When I brought her into my office for a teeth cleaning, the attachments were digging into her gums making them inflamed and bleeding. I spent thirty minutes polishing and trimming them. I took photos and documented everything. I pity the parents who are not in the dental field and don't know what's going on in their child's mouth. So I decided enough is enough and decided to transfer to another orthodontist that I know. One would think that that's the end of the story, but you would be mistaken. They make it impossible to transfer. I first called a month ago and I asked for her Invisalign file to be transferred. They took a message and said someone will get back to me. No one did. In fact I made about 5 calls over the last month, and each time was told that a person who deals with this will get back to me and no one ever did each and every time. Finally I was told that Dr. Snow himself had to come in and sign off on the transfer. I waited another week for it to happen. Eventually I received an email that the transfer is in process, and all I had to do was click on the link, enter my child's name and account number in order to initiate the transfer. I did as requested, and it told me that the transfer cannot be initiated, because either some or all the info I entered is incorrect. I called the office again, and confirmed that they had the correct spelling and account number. Everything checked out, but it was not going through. To which their receptionist replied that's it's out of their hands and there is nothing they can do. I stated that they are leaving me in limbo since they are telling me that there is nothing they can do, and at the same time the new Orthodontist doesn't not have the file either. To which of course the reply was that they will have a supervisor call me. That was 2 days ago. Guess what, that call never happened and it never will. Parents, please take advice from a dental professional and a parent, if you value your child's dental health, find another orthodontist. read more

Factory service. Scheduling is awful. Everyone we know that was forced to go here when our other ortho closed is unhappy. Disappointing. Do not recommend. read more

Had an appt for a consultation based on the great reviews, but to my surprise this place failed to live up to expectations. Although the office was nice and clean, the customer service was horrific. No good morning, no smiles from the girls up front. After walking in and not being acknowledged for almost 5 mins I simply left. I highly dont recommend this place, unless you like to be ignored. read more

Well this place has gone down hill quickly. I use to offer exceptional service, always very professional, quick and simply the best. However with growth in the office and new staff it has rapidly declined. Difficult to get an appointment. Nobody answers the phone or returns phone calls. Came in today for an appointment and could not see the orthodontist because he was on a conference call. Who schedules a conference call during patients who have had an appointment for over a month? Can't get timely appointments for follow ups so therefore braces tend to be on months and months over scheduled. read more

I called to request our records. First time I called, I was put on hold for about 20 minutes only to be told that the person who could help me would have to call me back. Three hours later, I didn't get any call. So the second time I called, I explained all that to the person who answered. This time I was told that, if I wanted our records to be sent to my personal email, there would be a $190 fee; but it would be free to have those identical records emailed to another doctor. In addition, I was told that our prior doctor's records (he sold his practice to them sometime in June) still haven't be ingested into their systems so I would have to wait until that happened before I could collect our records. This is how they view customer service: an afterthought and opportunity for more fees. I would give them zero stars if Yelp allowed it. read more

Dr Parsa and his treatment coordinator Jordan are fantastic. Make the whole experience much more enjoyable and hopeful for everyone who comes to get treated. I feel comfortable and that is the most important part about being genuine human beings. read more

I had braces several years ago and the orthodontist I went to retired. So when my retainers stopped fitting and I needed to find someone new I was referred to snow orthodontics. Yesterday I went in and was so pleased with the service they provided me. I had expected to need to get impressions, new retainers the whole deal. I was expecting to have to spend hundreds of dollars. Rather, they were able to fix my retainers. Make some tweaks and good as new. They were so kind and the whole staff was very pleasant. When I went to pay, they didn't change me anything. Even though I told them they weren't the ones who originally made my retainers nor have I ever spent a penny with them. They insisted and said it was no problem. I love a Dr. who puts service over profit and because of that I will now refer everyone to Snow Orthodontics. read more

Neda at the Encino office is an amazing person. She is welcoming, caring and considerate.

If you like shopping at a Costco or a big box store for dentistry then this is the place for you. My daughter was a former patient of Dr. Sack who was a premier Orthodontist in Los Angeles, and unfortunately retired and sold his practice to Snow Orthodontics. I would have NEVER taken her to there for orthodontic treatment otherwise! This is a clinic! Not a private practice. We have tried to work with them for over a year and the treatment process, and results have been less than desirable. We should have transferred her out of there sooner, but out of respect for the doctor who was treating her we waited. However, having to deal with the front office staff and getting timely appointments just made it impossible to bare. Orthodontics requires timely attention to detail, and Snow Ortho is more about volume orthodontics. This is not the place for patients who value the quality of care and attention that come with doctors dedicated to private practice. read more

if I can give this clinic a -1 that will probably be my review I been a patient in this clinic for two year or more I think and I recommend my friend, but then they were so rude with her the receptionist a guy with the glasses was extremely rude with her shes a patient in the clinic now and they always rude with her this place really got worse this past year. I should never recommend this place to my friend, I'm so disappointed you should hired people how can treat their patients better and not just sit there and look pretty (he's not) they Even charge her $60 dollars for a broken brake when is supposed to be $50 what Is this im so disappointed.i really hope that they can get good stuff like they used to have. And for the guy with the glasses work your attitude you are so RUDEEE!!!! you guy really made me look bad with my friend I will never recommend anyone to this clinic NEVER!!! Please stay away from this clinic and their RUDE STUFF !!! read more

I loved the warm welcoming decor! "The place looks very neat and tighty" as my mom said. I was very nervous coming herr but then the welcoming decor really calmed me down. read more

Dr. Azani, Gina, and Shawntae are great! This review is specifically based on my experience with the call center (they basically answer the phone for all the offices). They are ALL rude (except Maria). People spend way to much money on braces to have to deal with bad customer service. As I type this, I've literally been on hold for 15 minutes. read more

I used to like going here. I started with Invisalign but didn't do much for bite so switched over to regular braces. Which is annoying because I asked the doctor before starting Invisalign if it would work. He was so confident that it was. Well it didn't. Now 4yrs still dealing with my bite. Hopefully this is the last year I have to go with them. They always seem to be changing up the staff now. I used to like the old crew (Regina, Dolores, Roseanne) they all left. All the new people are not as friendly, they don't even know you or try to know you which is fine. They lack customer service. They also switched doctors, I don't mind the new female doctor, she seems nice and knowledgeable. The male doctor before her was just okay. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place. I'm just finishing up my treatment so I can stop going. read more

We heard an advertisement of $1000 matched deposit. We went to snow orthodontics presented our insurance and were given a price of $4860. In general it's $5000 or less for Invisalign. At the various places that we've checked. When I asked for the thousand dollar matched deposit I was told if we can't do that our normal price is $6100 and then we knock off $1000 off of that. So basically I'm told that they escalate the price by 1100 bucks And knock off 1000. This is like a bait and switch. No one charges $6100 for Invisalign everyone's five grand or less. Beware of this place. read more

The new office is beautiful! Now my son can watch a movie while waiting for his appointment. read more

See all

The staff & Doctors are EXTREMELY nice & friendly every single time we come to this office. Out of all Dr. Snow offices...they're the best.

So far my experience with Snow Orthodontics has been amazing! Dr. A has done a wonderful job correcting my bite with Invisalign. I went to three other orthodontic practices prior to this one and they all told me it could not be done with Invisalign and that I would have to get braces. I'm 42 years old and could not picture myself sitting in meeting with clients and having braces on! His staff is very knowledgeable and always so happy to see you. So far I have been taken care of by Bryan, Maria, Regina, Erika and Shawntee and they have all been great. When it comes to something as important as your teeth you can't just leave it in the hands of a Groupon or Living Social you have to go to the right guy and this is the right guy! read more

I understand the difficulties faced by medical businesses during the pandemic, however my issues began before the quarantine started. The Dr.s in the Santa Clarita office are nice and seem competent, however the ability to speak to a person, schedule an appointment, and keep an appointment are sorely lacking. Once the initial consultation takes place, and you agree to pay, don't expect to speak to a live human again. Calls are made, with no number that connects to a person. Appointments are made then cancelled with short notice. Several weeks ago I scheduled an appointment in Agora (1 hour drive), to accommodate Snow Orthodontics schedule as they catch up from COVID. 5 minutes from the destination, and 10 minutes from the start of the appointment, they called to say they needed to cancel the appointment. I have now paid for 9 months, and seen the Dr. two times. My kids have been wearing their tray for 6 months- they gag when they wear them now- Do NOT go to Santa Clarita Snow Orthodontics read more
