Dr. Mar is pretty awesome. Maybe a little on the pricier side but it’s for a reason. He made me realize that teeth, the perfect smile and bite can be designed and not just any orthodontist can do it. He puts you at ease and him and his staff are definitely looking out for your best interest. Everyone is super nice and informative there. 10/10 would recommend. Pretty sure my Invisalign experience wouldn’t have been such a breeze had I gone elsewhere.

Dr Mar and his staff have been really pleasant. I wanted clear aligners instead of braces so my dentist referred me to see Dr Mar since this is his specialty. I have been in treatment for about two months with Clearcorrect aligners and am really happy about the progress so far. I can actually see that my teeth have shifted. The fees are not that expensive as well which was a big factor. I do recommend Dr Mar and Clearcorrect if you don`t want a mouth full of metal.

I just started my treatment with Dr Mar 3 months ago. He is doing Clear Correct on me which I am so happy that I don’t have to have the metal braces. The aligners are really comfortable and everyone comments that they don’t notice them. Dr Mar is a caring person and his staff are so nice which helps. I will follow up after my treatment is over but overall very impressed so far!

Honestly not very happy with the results. The front desk staff were always kind and amazing but the nurses ( who do most of the work) were not. Many times they did not know what they were doing and it was like they were afraid to ask one of the main doctors for assistance. There have been many times where they scheduled me in around their lunch time so I would get looked at by the nurse then sit in the chair for 20-30 minutes waiting for Dr. Mar to come take a look. He is very kind and knowledgeable but definitely needs to do a better job of looking over the work of his nurses/assistants. More than a few times I have had a nurse break a bracket trying to shove a wire in and just kept quiet until next appointment because I didn't want to remain in the chair for another half hour. Paying over $12000 and 2.5 years on my braces I expected them to be near perfect, not just good enough. I still have an overbite and I am still not happy and confident with my smile. Dr. Mar you are a very personable and knowledgeable orthodontist but your assistants who do much of the work need to feel more comfortable in asking you for help when they are so clearly having troubles. I am sure you will speak to them and make it better for future patients but that does not bring back my money and time, nor does it make me satisfied with the results.

I am sorry you are not pleased and it sounds like your experience was not positive for you. I do not have nurses working in my office, my treatment staff are Registered Dental Assistants with their Orthodontic module. I have taken your feedback and processed how this happened. I am not going to try to make excuses because I believe in honoring the patients ‘perception. Your perception is your reality. We have implemented some changes to address your concerns; however, I know this does not take away your experience. Thank you for sharing and you are most welcome to book a consultation with me to discuss this further.
