Imagine my surprise when I learned that my dermatologist's wife was not only a general dentist, but could fit me with dentures just as she had done with her mother-in-law. The results have been great: I showed her photos of Claudia Schiffer's teeth and the results are as close as possible to the photos. Also, just as I requested, the teeth are smaller than my original ones and the color is perfect. This personal attention to detail and Dr. Jang's overall kindness and talent make this a great place to have dental work done.

The office is located on the second floor of a building with no elevator or wheelchair access. There are two flights of stairs to reach the second floor from either the front of the building or the rear of the building where the parking is located. While somewhat challenging for me now due to knee and hip issues, I can make it up the stairs using the handrail along the way. However, there may be a time for me in the future that the lack of accessibility will prompt me to change to a different practice.

The entire staff of his office, and the other practitioners to whom I was referred by him, are highly professional, talented, and kind people.

I regret following his advice to remove a crowned, root-canal-treated wisdom tooth that two prior dentists had advised me to keep, as well as agreeing to a bite adjustment in January 2025. Afterward, I developed tooth sensitivity, lingering toothaches, and what I perceived as changes in my lower face and lips -- including sagging, a sunken appearance, and an aged look. From my perspective, these issues only began after the bite adjustment, and the treatment options I've been offered have been complex, costly, and not reassuring. I deeply regret these decisions and strongly urge others to seek multiple opinions before agreeing to any similar treatments. This review is based solely on my personal experience and perspective as a patient.

He left there in a ridiculous amount of pain and bleeding fiercely. We live 45 minutes away and had to pull over three times. When I called for him, the dentist just said everything went fine, and she even stitched him, per his request. He requested nothing during the procedure, could not even talk (obviously). He never ever takes pain meds, but did ask for some and she sent over I think three oxycodone that didn't touch the pain. Something definitely went wrong and rather than fix it, she said it was fine and pretty much blamed him. Since she wanted him back to fill two cavities that he didn't have (went elsewhere).

zero stars - minus*…read more Buyer Beware -- Extremely Unprofessional and Unethical Experience This is a buyer beware review. We had an incredibly disappointing and frustrating experience at this practice. The physician remained largely inaccessible, hiding behind office staff until the very end of the process. Overall, our experience was riddled with incompetence, unprofessionalism, unethical behavior, and deception. My daughter had braces placed here and remained under their care for about 5-6 months before we moved out of the area. Below is a summary of the major issues we encountered -- both during treatment and while transferring to a new orthodontist. 1. Constantly Broken Brackets Almost every visit involved repairing broken brackets -- something we never experienced with our two older children who completed orthodontic treatment elsewhere. The staff repeatedly blamed my daughter, claiming she was eating "hard foods," even when the bracket broke after biting into something as soft as a French fry. Having to return after nearly every routine appointment for broken brackets is highly unusual and concerning. 2. Obstacles in Transferring Records When we requested treatment records after moving, we were told we had to come in person to sign a release -- despite living over 60 miles away. This is not compliant with HIPAA, which requires practices to release records upon a patient's written request without unnecessary barriers. The delay in transferring records to our new orthodontist caused a significant treatment gap, leaving my daughter with broken brackets for an extended period. It took multiple follow-up calls before anything was finally sent. This behavior was both unethical and unprofessional. 3. Extremely Limited Orthodontist Availability The orthodontist was only available Tuesday through Thursday with limited hours. Emergencies or urgent concerns outside those times were left unaddressed. For a medical practice handling active orthodontic cases, this lack of accessibility is unacceptable. 4. Dishonest and Inconsistent Refund Process When we moved, we were told we'd receive only 50% of what we paid -- despite my daughter having completed only 5-6 months out of a 30-month treatment plan. Even their office manager, Daniela, admitted that the fair and standard approach would be a prorated refund of about 80%, but could not justify why the office offered only 50%. They also tried to change the documented treatment time from 30 months to 24 months, reducing our rightful refund. Additionally, although we paid $6,100 out of pocket, the practice also billed our insurance, which wasn't factored into the refund discussion. The entire situation was handled with dishonesty and questionable ethics. 5. Unprofessional Conduct by the Physician After weeks of back-and-forth with staff, the physician finally joined a call -- only to speak in a rude and unprofessional manner. By that point, I had dealt with their team nearly ten times and had lost confidence in the integrity of the practice. Given the repeated mismanagement and lack of accountability, I requested a full refund, which I have yet to receive. Final Thoughts This practice appears to care more about money than patients. Our experience reflects a lack of professionalism, poor patient care standards, and questionable ethics. I would strongly advise families to look elsewhere for orthodontic care.
