What a beautiful and clean office. it was so nice to see quite a busy office with many happy families. We know that braces are going to cost a TON and I was so grateful the staff was willing to put us on a payment plan. My daughters jaw alignment is off and it has helped that Dr. Abar and his staff are knowledgeable and reputable. Yes, there is a bit of a rush but I love that he clearly explained that there are 2 main phases that my daughter will have to go through. He showed the scientific evidence that her jaw misalignment is preventing her from fully developing. I appreciate his honesty and the warmth and kindness his staff has.

Over charged,first I was charged one price and the treatment wasn't done, he said your son need more treatment there is another charge he never told me I was going to be charged twice, the Dr. is always looking to find ways to charge for something else, I don't understand how I made a mistake twice the first time was with my daughter, after she finished with her treatment The Dr. said she needed a surgery I have talked to other doctors they said there was no need for that call surgery it was a procedure to cut inside the upper lip it's what it holds the lip and gum together My daughter is still mad at me for allowing that doctor to do that to her it's bad please don't come to that place you will regret it.

From my understanding, this office hires newly certified dentist while charging the full price. The first time I noticed was when one of the dentist had my mouth pride open to install my Invisalign buttons and after 15 minutes she finally removed it, and it was to the point where my mouth was numb, and wouldn't even close For a few seconds. There are however, one of two supervisors who will double check their work before you leave. Nubia and Noe, both front desk, are professional and able to help with scheduling appointments or sharing documents and such. The problem I had was with Dr. Abar. When I was first recommended to their office I was losing my dental benefits from my last job and felt rushed to make a decision when he told me that they would be able to at least take a portion from my insurance before I lose it Two months after starting Invisalign, I was told I have an additional tooth growing inside my gums and had to pay out of pocket $750 or it might damage my roots. Now that I am almost finishing my treatment, I was told that my teeth are not properly aligned and have to get another x-ray costing $850 and continue wearing them longer than expected which I'm confused why this was not caught on through previous appointments. And as if that wasn't enough money, I apparently need surgery on my gums which will be $2000. And to the confused look on my face, Dr. Abar said to me, "You don't remember? You don't know anything do you?" And then proceeds to pull up documents that I signed in 2021 that states, this particular surgery will not be a part of the total that I agreed to pay. He also has a short temper with his staff when I noticed that one of his dentist wasn't able to access a file he repeated to her, "What are you doing? The file is right there. I don't understand why you don't know how to do this." Again, considering this seems to be a place to hire new dentist. You would expect for him to have a little more patience. This is not the quality of service I expected that I am paying for. Please be cautious with where you spend YOUR money, especially in this economy.

Horrible dentist. Dr. Abar treated me for Invisalign, which cost me well over $8000. From the onset, he was impersonal and extremely pushy to get me to put my deposit. I should have listened to my gut. I did treatments with Dr. Abar, and he clarified that if I wasn't happy with my results at the end, he would continue to straighten my teeth for free. Well, my teeth were still crooked once treatment was done, and he tried to charge me $400. Apparently, treatment at the office is free, but it is $400 for additional aligners. He intentionally left this part out, and I felt so deceived. I ended up hating my results, and will need to pursue further treatment at another office. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. You will find much friendlier, and way cheaper orthodontic care anywhere else.

Rude and unprofessional staff. No costumer service skills. It's just all about money.

Adar Orthodontist did a wonderful job on my teeth! The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional throughout the entire process. The orthodontists were skilled and efficient in their work, and the results were better than I could have imagined. My teeth look and feel great, and I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend Adar Orthodontist to anyone in need of orthodontic care. They are simply fantastic!

After 6 years, my daughter is getting her braces off tomorrow. Her jaw was not aligned properly, so the treatment was longer than normal. 6 years of treatment was not cheap. My daughter's teeth took longer to fix than expected due to unpredictable delays in baby teeth falling out. We ended up paying some extra money for the extended treatment. We went past the predicted time on the initial contract. This is why we had to pay extended treatment fees. Dr. Abar worked with us on costs and monthly payments. The office staff is wonderful, all very professional and polite. My daughter's smile is beautiful, and seeing her confidence makes this worth it.

Consultation is $270. Office will not tell you, they will just bill you. Most absurdly expensive ortho you can possibly find. Please get a second opinion.

They charged for initial consultation unlike most other orthodontists in our area, kind of mad at our dentists for recommending them to us.

Abar Orthodontics has a wonderful staff! They are very friendly, warm, professional, accommodating and thorough. It's been a year and a half and my eldest will be getting her braces off in May and her teeth are straight. My youngest will be starting her second phase of her braces to continue improvement with the alignment of her teeth, underbite and spacing. Dr Abar explains the treatment in detail and welcomes all questions and concerns. He is very understanding and flexible with payments. Dr. Wen is the other Orthodontist who oversees the patient's with the technicians and she is wonderful!I highly recommends Abar Orthodontics for children and adults.
