Somerville Orthodontist Ratings: Dr. Mouhab Rizkallah, DDS. Dr. Rizkallah, Orthodontist 02144. 23 November 2009

Patient Review 1:

My teeth needed major work. I had three teeth removed and a lot of straightening. My teeth are straight now thanks to Dr. Riz. Overall the process wasn't as bad as what I thought. Dr. Riz gave my girlfriend and I a fantastic deal. It was a third of what we would of paid at a school. I like the clean modern facility and procedures and the staff there is great too. I thought I got a fantastic deal, top quality work at a very modern facility. I would totally recommend this orthodontist to anybody.

Treatment Length with Dr. Rizkallah: one year six months.

Patient Review 2:

Dr. Riz is the perfect combination of a gifted craftsman and a consummate professional. His instincts and passion for orthodontics are unequivocal, yet it is his ability to connect with his patients - and to transform them into equal stakeholders in the orthodontics process - that makes the final result exceptionally rewarding.

Dr. Riz is a fantastic communicator, and along with state of the art technology, a patient feels completely informed and engaged about the work being done to their teeth. This dedication to dialogues and technologies, coupled with the obvious intelligence and experience that Dr. Riz possesses, made me feel that I was in excellent hands. And the results - which came 4 months early - proved that I certainly was!

I am confident that others will have a positive experience with Dr. Riz. He has earned my wholehearted endorsement.

Patient Review 3:

Doing some research on my own, I was pretty confident that a good solution to correct the spacing in my mouth was to get porcelain veneers. However, I came to find out that while porcelain veneers are quick and make your teeth look straight, they are not healthy when placed on crooked teeth. And my dentist, Dr. Biron, did not want to put those things in my mouth without my teeth being straight. Dr Biron wanted healthy straight teeth for me. Enter Dr. Rizkallah. Dr. Biron sent me to Dr. Rizkallah and my teeth were straight in 6 months. I am thrilled.

Patient Review 4:

Throughout my life I was dissatisfied with my overbite and crooked lower teeth. As an adult in my early 50s I consulted a number of orthodontists who all wanted to pull at least four healthy teeth. I wanted a full smile without a punched in appearance. One orthodontist in the Boston area who is supposedly very well respected not only wanted to pull 4-6 teeth, but he also wanted to place 2 implants and porcelain veneers on all of my teeth!!!!!. My dentist, Dr. Brenda Nishimura, who is wonderful, referred me to Dr. Rizkallah. The moment we met, I knew he was trustworthy. He has a much deserved self-confidence, is genuinely caring and has a delightful positive outlook on life. Dr. Rizkallah said there was no need to pull any teeth, place implants or have veneers. I chose lingual braces and the entire correction took only about 1 year! No one knew I had braces unless I told them and I would frequently get compliments on my beautiful teeth. Dr. Rizkallah has a beautiful facility inside and out and has staff who are not only very skilled, but wonderful and pleasant. It was always a pleasure having an appointment. The day my braces were removed I had mixed emotions, because I will truly miss everyone there. In short, Dr. Rizkallah is a miracle worker and the Best of the Best!!!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Rizkallah. I am a 27 year old who was embarrassed to be an adult with braces. Dr. Rizkallah made the process seamless! I had clear braces and finished my treatment in 1 year! I now have the perfect smile. Additionally, the office is very modern, the staff is great and I never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be seen. I recommend Orthodontist at Davis Square to everyone!

Besides having a baby tooth pulled out, I had a basic teeth straightening procedure. The tooth extraction was pretty relaxed because he was really friendly and talked you through it. I would definitely recommend him to others.

From the beginning to the end, the process was painless and easy. A truly unique 'braces' experience due to professionalism of staff and Dr. Rizkallah's brilliance with orthodontia.

Cost was lower than many others and the customer service was unbeatable.

Dr. Rizkallah's office is a tight ship that is extremely welcoming to all types of folks - old and young - with all types of orthodontic needs.

Highly recommend based on all criteria: treatment, cost, facility, manners, etc.

Patient Review 8:

I visited an orthodontist on the North Shore who told me my treatment would start with oral surgery to split the roof of my mouth open and insert a manual crank to spread my upper jaw apart and I would need to wear braces for a minimum of 2 years. I decided to seek a second opinion from Dr. Riz and thank God I went to him! In only 16 months, I had a beautiful smile and NO SURGERY. Best of all, there was no pain involved. Dr. Riz uses modern techniques that "old school orthodontists" are not using. I was given extraordinary care and respect. He and his staff are utmost professionals. As for cost, his prices were very reasonable and my insurance covered a large portion. His office allows monthly payments throughout treatment, which is extremely helpful.

Overall, I would recommend Orthodontics at Davis Square to anyone who needs orthodontic procedures. You will walk out of there as happy as I am.

I got a consultation done for my cross bite, slight under bite and TMJ issue from Dr. Rizkallah. The staff was very professional and the facility is very clean and modern. My procedure would normally take about a year but Dr. Rizkallah took into consideration with the line of work I was in and cut the time in less than half... 6 months to be exact! It was quick and the price was great! I wouldn't be able to get the reasonable price at any other Orthodontics. I have referred my boyfriend and my little brother will soon need braces from Dr. Rizkallah.

Dr. Rizkallah rendered the orthodontic care for my tween. He is extremely patient and kind. He always loves to share a good joke. We always felt we were the center of attention when he was with us. His office staff and ortho assistants are very knowledgable and caring. He really has a passion for orthodontia and it shows in my son's results. The retainer he provides after treatment is very comfortable.There were never any issues. Billing, extra visits, questions... all were handled with great customer service. If you are searching for an orthodontist, Dr Rizkallah is the best!

I was/am a patient of Dr. Riz and thanks to him I am now extremely happy with my smile. I went to Dr. Riz after another orthodontist butchered my mouth and ruined my overall bite. Dr. Riz was kind enough to take me on as a new patient and not only did he fix the horrible mess I had ,but made my smile and bite better then perfect. Dr. Riz is extremely kind and caring and always takes the time to answer any questions or concerns. I would recommend him to anyone who needs braces or like me need a miracle! Anyone who is lucky enough to have Dr. Riz as their orthodontist is in great hands!

Patient Review 13:

My dentist in Lexington (Dr. Nishimura, who is probably in her late 40's) is in clear braces with Dr. Rizkallah. She referred me to Dr. Rizkallah to treat my bite problems (I am in my early 50s). I figured, if she is in braces with him, then he must be pretty darn good. AND HE IS!

So he treats adults and children, but he makes adults feel like adults, and makes kids feel like kids. Consummate professional in every way. Seems to know teeth and jaws inside and out. Seems to know alot about eveything frankly.

The results are fantastic. The process was a little uncomfortable at times, but really pretty easy. I just can't believe how good my bite feels and how terrific my teeth look. AND IT ONLY TOOK 8 MONTHS!

His rapport with patients is second to none. One of the most likable people I have ever met. And it makes a difference in the process. I actually looked forward to my visits, because he is a really interesting guy.

I need to say something about the office too. He clearly cares about his environment. He keeps the office cutting edge, exceptionally clean, and well-designed. He has a massive parking area (in Davis Square?) , and he is across the street from the Red-Line in Davis Square.

Enough Said!

By the end of your treatment Dr. Rizkallah will be a friend of yours. Great guy, extremely knowledgeable and professional, lightest-handed dentist I have ever done any kind of dental treatment with.

The cost-to-benefit ratio is awesome! Each time you have an appointment you pay a part of the treatment, which is very helpful specially in this economy.

The front desk staff as is very friendly and helpful. The assistants are very gentle and quick with the adjustments. Never have I had to wait for more than 10 minutes to be seen, and the adjustment appointments go just as fast too.

Also, when you go there for the first time, do not hesitate to ask the Treatment Coordinator any questions! She knows the answers to all of your questions, plus she is super cool!

The building is so clean you could eat off the floor, and the huge TV in the lobby is a big plus. Another advantage of having your braces done there is that they do most (if not all) of the things you need, like your retainers, right there, in-house!

The results were impeccable, and if you worry a lot about what is going on as you move along with your treatment like I did, you can ask Dr. "Riz" about it, and you will never leave there with doubts or concerns.

Patient Review 15:

I agree with many of the reviews already written. I have an out-of-town uncle that is an orthodonist and I choose Dr. Riz because his assessment was closest to his of all the orthodonists I visited. Overall I am happy with the service he provided. While my teeth are not perfect yet, my braces are off and Dr. Riz assured me that retainer use will do the rest. My treatment took longer than estimated - 16 months instead of 10-12 months. The key is not forgetting to wear your elastics at all! Even occasionally forgetting will extend the time as in my case. He is a bit misleading in his promise to explain everything and teach you how the treatment works as it goes along. He will if you ask him, but because he sees ~6 people at a time, you have limited time to talk to him. Most of the work are done by his technicians, who are very nice and professional. Despite some misgivings, I would definitely still choose him in retrospect.

I did some shopping around for an orthodontist before I found Dr Rizkallah. The other Orthodontists told me I would be in braces for two years and I would need teeth pulled. They were also more expensive. I was pleasently surprised when Dr. Riz gave me a ten month to a year treatment plan and he would not pull any teeth.

I was in braces for eleven monthes. I have beautiful straight teeth and a closed bite! Dr Rizkallah and his staff did an amazing job on my teeth and they were great to work with. I also switched insurance three times during my treament and each time there was no problem.

I am so pleased that I can share my Dr. Riz experience with others. He is truly a gift to people who have struggled with orthodontic issues.

I came to Dr.Riz on recommendation from my dentist. My dentist knew I had a tough case and her words were you need to see someone who thinks outside the box to correct your issue. Dr. Rizs consultation was the first time I had pure confidence in a doctor. He is knowledgeable, honest, and caring. His out of the box thinking fixed my extremely difficult case in a little over a year. During the middle of my treatment I moved from South Boston to Rochester, New York and still continued with him because I knew that no one does work like he does.

Words cant explain the confidence he has restored in me. His brilliance benefits all that see him.

Patient Review 18:

I have never written a review for a healthcare professional before, but am writing this one because I feel so strongly about Dr. Rizkallah and his ability to treat patients.

I waited over 15 years to get my overbite treated. Four different orthodontists whom I had consulted before Dr. Riz wanted me to have orthognastic surgery to correct the bite. That surgery would have placed screws into my lower jaw bone to lengthen my jaw and thereby correct the bite. Ouch!

Dr. Riz was the first orthodontist who said that I did not need the surgery, and also said that he could straighten my teeth and fix my bite within 14 months--much less time than the other 4 orthodotists had estimated.

I was skeptical, but agreed to undergo treatment. TWELVE months later, I had straight teeth and a perfect, pain-free bite for the first time in my life.

Not only was the treatment a success, but Dr. Riz's concern for my comfort truly went above and beyond. A first set of braces gave me problems, and within 24 hours he removed them and replaced them with something I felt more comfortable wearing, at no cost.

I highly recommend Dr. Riz to anyone, especially adults who, like me, had delayed because other doctors said it couldn't be done.

I was an older patient (mid 40's) of Dr. Riiz's, I wanted nice teeth and wanted them fast.

My denist suggested orthodontics, I was very apprehensive. I fortunitally followed my dentists recommendation with a consultation with Dr. Riz. It ended up (except for the having to wear the braces) being a great expeirence. The staff was always professional, the facility is state of the art, Dr. Riz has the ability to make you comfortable and welcome with every visit.

I would highly recommend him and his staff.

I first visited Dr. Riz in June of 2007 for a consultation. I had braces when I was younger (in high school) for more than 4 years and my teeth were still crooked. At 24 and with my wedding one year away, I was ready to start thinking about braces again, in the hopes of finally having a nice smile for my wedding!

The consultation with Dr. Riz was inspiring. I had been to a few other consultations, and most of the other orthos recommended jaw surgery. I did NOT want that, and Dr. Riz was completely confident that I didn't need jaw surgery, just two extractions.

My braces were put on in July of 2007, and my estimated treatment time was 12-14 months. My teeth showed an incredible improvement very quickly. Dr. Riz was both professional and funny during all of my appointments, and his assistants are fantastic. Everyone in the office is very polite, compassionate, and friendly.

With two months or so until my wedding, Dr. Riz did everything he could to get my braces off before the wedding, and he did--my braces came off 5 days before my wedding and just shy of 11 months after they were put on!

I received (and continue to) so many compliments on my new smile, and I often told people that I thought Dr. Riz was magical!

Patient Review 21:

Since all my adult teeth had grown in, I had noticed many problems. Among them, I hadn't pulled my top baby canine teeth early enough, so the adult ones had grown in higher than normal and farther out, leaving my surrounding teeth to spread, and my bottom front teeth looked like they had rotated inward.

After a check-up by my dentist when I was about 12 (I'm 16 now), he suggested that I get braces. I was fitted for them by another orthodontist (NOT Dr. Riz), and personally, I felt uncomfortable with them as an orthodontist. Since it was so expensive, my parents decided to look elsewhere. Last summer, Dr. Riz caught their attention because his price was much lower than others. When we went for an initial check, We were amazed at how artistically designed the office was. The coolest Dentist office we had seen. When he came in to talk to us, he was very professional and very friendly. After looking at my teeth, he told us I would have braces for 12-14 months. I ended up finishing in 10. The treatment was very effective (The key is the elastics!!! You must use the elastics!!), and aside from a few days of discomfort following tightenings, there was little pain. I definitely recommend Dr. Riz for anyone seeking orthodontic treatment.

He is a very good orthodontist and results will be great. Magnificent office, convenient location. I wouldnt use him again however, for these reasons: 1) there is no privacy at all. you sit in a large room and everyone is worked on at once. Somepeople wouldnt mind this, but I didnt like it 2) Parent cannot go back wtih child 3) NO one to talk to anytime office closed, night or weekend. no matter what happens. 40 He supervises a large group of assistants, most do the actual clinical work. feels very impersonal. so there are so many orthos in Boston I think you can get the great clinical care AND be treated by the dentist himself, in a private setting and have someone in an emergency, you dont have to give up those things.

There would never be enough words to describe my gratitude to Dr.Rizkallah. Because of his great expertise and kind feeling, he gave back to me not only my self confidence but also my health.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, I lost 3 of my main 'Molar Teeth'. As the years past my teeth shifted causing almost "buck teeth" and terrible digestive problems as I couldn't even chew my food properly. I was afraid that my appearance, health, and self esteem would all be lost.

Then I found Dr.Rizkallah..........

He carefully outlined a corrective plan for me and as the months past I knew that I had been blessed to be in such professional and considerate hands.

Today, I have the most beautiful teeth and smile as I never dreamed possible. My digestive problems are over and my good health has returned.

I owe much to Dr.Rizkallah for all of these wonderful

improvements in my life. I highly recommend Dr. Rizkallah to everyone who want the best results possible and a wonderful satisfying experience.

Dr. Riz I shall never forget what a gentle, kind, honest and extraordinary person you are. I thank you and to all your staff for your great care for me.

Dr. Rizkallah is a superb clinician. He is friendly, handsome, confident and profoundly competent. It is pleasant to be in his company. Both of my children and I enjoy going to his office.

His work is superior. His approach is thoughtful and proactive. His level of expertise with adults is rare and makes a huge difference (since children's teeth are growing and adult teeth are not.)

The office staff is well-trained and competent.

I give Dr. Rizkallah my very highest recommendation and have referred many friends to him and every one of them has thanked me profusely for doing so.

I interviewed SIX orthodontists prior to seeing Dr. Riz. I actually wanted to meet him last, because I had heard such great things about him. But I wanted to know all that I could before meeting him.

I must say, he stands out from the crowd. He was complimentary of the other orthodontists I met, and I found him to be pretty humble. But he exudes confidence and competence like none of the other orthodontists did. And I like that alot. Never mind that he is exceptionally likable as a person.

Also, he is much more familiar with adult treatment than most orthodontists. My results are fantastic, and he got it done in HALF THE TIME OF ALL OTHER ESTIMATES!

Oh and his office is an amazing service system. Tight ship with excellent service, speedy results, and fair prices.

Seriously: Dr. Riz - You Rock!

From the initial consult to present day, he and his staff have been professional, thorough and extremely pleasant. I had a cross-bite which couldn't be fixed with Invisalign so we went the traditional route. He promised results within 12 months and he delivered beautifully. I can now fully appreciate his perfectionist tendencies. The only pain was from the brackets cutting the inside of my mouth (alleviated by using wax)... which was more annoyance than pain. The cost and billing were never a problem. A payment plan was explained from the beginning. If any questions arose, the staff were happy to give or get the answer. Dr. Riz and his assistants' chair-side manner was fantastic! Just the right mix of personal attention and professionalism. And as a fellow medical professional, I recognize their efforts. I would highly recommend his practice to anyone thinking of orthodontics.

I have had over 3 dentists tell me that work he preformed for me was beyond state-of-the- art and by far the best work they had ever seen. I would put my life savings on the belief that he is one of the best orthodontists, not only in the states but anywhere.

Dr. Rizkallah is great. He really listened to my concerns about what I wanted for my teeth....now after 18 months, both sides of my mouth close when I close my mouth - I can't remember the last time that happened. It's a miracle.

Dr. Rizkallah is a professional, a skilled business man, uses the latest technology, cares about his patients, and is obviously brilliant. After interviewing several orthodontists in my area it was very clear that Dr. Rizkallah was the doctor with whom I was going to entrust my orthodontic work. I have been recommending him to friends/family and I recommend him to you too.

I am 25 years old person who had matured crowded and crooked teeth. Me and My husband shopped around for an orthodontist for couple of months. I met quiet a few dentist. Of those many claimed to be the best in Boston and such. Many of my basic questions about the procedure and health issues were unanswered. When we met Rizkallah, he not only answered our questions patiently, he also explained us how he is going to handle my case in laymen term. He was very confident right from the beginning and promised to make my smile better. We noticed professionalism right from our first appointment. Within few appointments I noticed a big change in my teeth profile. Today, after the procedure is complete, and looking at my smile we are very happy that we choose Rizkallah. He is friendly, honest and open person. Whenever I have a question regarding the treatment that is going on, he answered me very patiently. The service is excellent at his office. And all staffs are very pleasant and with big smile all the time. His treatment is very modern and he is very precise and detailed. He is perfectionist and accepts no less than perfection in what he is doing. If you are looking for a perfect smile, I would very highly recommend Rizkallah

I had a terrific experience with Dr. Rizkallah and the entire staff at Orthodontics at Davis Square. Everyone I encountered there was friendly and very helpful, I never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes beyond my scheduled time to be seen at any appointment, and, most importantly, my treatment was a great success. I was told by another orthodontist that to correct the problem with my bite, I would need surgery followed by 2 years in braces; but Dr. Riz was able treat my case with braces that came off exactly 1 year from the day they were put on. My husband was also treated in the office with Dr. Riz's Simpler Aligners, and he, too, is very pleased we the outcome. We both would recommend Dr. Riz to anyone considering orthodontic work of any kind.

I was very pleased with my results from Dr. Riz and my experience overall. He is incredibly professional and definitely a perfectionist--which is vital for an orthodontist. He never rushed visits and was happy to answer any questions. All of the technicians are very competent, but Dr. Riz always checks all of their work before the patient leaves, which is an added level of security. It is clear that he demands the highest level of skill and professionalism from all his staff. The office is both immaculate and very modern. Only a few times did I have to wait for more than a couple minutes for a scheduled appointment. I was able to get in immediately for any emergency issues I had (broken bracket, loose wire, etc., which seem to be an inevitable part of orthodontic treatment). I highly recommend Dr. Riz to anyone looking for great orthodontic results. He does not specialize in adult patients, but as an adult, it was comforting to see many other adults there--in fact, the majority of patients seems to be adults.

I went to Dr. Riz when I was almost crying from the pain caused by my previous expensive and incompetent orthodotist. Dr. Riz is like a fresh breeze of air, the complete opposite. First, he is an excellent and caring orthodotist. He uses the latest medical technology, is good at judging patients' degree of tolerance to pain, dares to tighten the braces more than a regular and timid doctor would to speed up the treatment. He said the treatment would take 10 mons but I finished in just 6 with beautiful teeth. He is professional, courteous, highly efficient, but he never rushes, makes you feel you are the only patient. He charges much less than what a typical orthodonist would charge. More importantly for me, it wasn't painful at all with his treatment, the braces became just minior distractions to my life instead of constant pain and distress before. Second, he is a very good businessman and makes patient looking forward to going to his clinic. His clinic is no doubt one of the best run small businesses. Very efficient, equipped with the latest software that makes the clinic run almost like an assembly line. I never had to wait for more than 10 mins and very easy to schedule appts. Staff very friendly. I highly recommend Dr.Riz

I saw Dr. Rizkallah as an adult patient who needed minor work done. Estimated treatment time was 4-5 months and that estimate was accurate. I was very impressed with Dr. Rizkallah's facilities and how courteous and knowledgeable both him and his assistants are. There are many assistants to keep patients moving along, yet nothing gets done without Dr. Rizkallah's approval. His office has state-of-the-art facilities, yet patient cost is reasonable. Dr. Rizkallah's front desk staff keeps everything organized and running smoothly. The office manager, Juliana, is friendly and deals with all insurance issues in a timely fashion. As an adult patient, I very much liked the fact that evening appointments are available for those who work during the day. The front desk staff does everything possible to fit you in at a convenient time. I would definitely recommend Dr. Rizkallah to anyone interested in improving their smile, particularly adult patients who do not want to waste more time than they have to on orthodontic care.

Simply the best expierence at any type of Healthcare facility for me. Very friendly staff, very nice professional environment. Dr. Rizkallah's treatment was quick, painless, and the results are nothing short of magnifficent. I had lingual braces that were behind my teeth, no one could ever tell that I had them, anf they were off in 15 months. Dr. Rizkallah's practice is a tightly run ship, beautiful facilities, and just a great expierence from start to finish. Dr. Rizkallah's professionalism, knowledge, and great staff put this practice steps above any other. I am the type of person that is very weary when it comes to choosing any type of health or dental care professional. Feel safe going here, you will receive nothing but the best possible care.

Dr. Rizkallah already has many good reviews, but I'd like to add one more. I had an awful experience with another orthodontist who had me in braces for 5 years and made my teeth actually worse than they were before. Dr. Rizkallah was very sympathetic and offered to give me new braces with a large discount.

Dr. Rizkallah fixed my smile and I really felt he was a dentist I could trust. He is really an expert at what he does and it shows. The whole process was almost painless and I could tell I was receiving top quality braces. His staff is also very well trained and pleasant.

I highly recommend Dr. Rizkallah. You will not be disappointed.

I came to Dr. Rizkallah after very bad experience with another orthodontist. In his office I found the great doctor, contemporary equipment, professional and friendly staff. What a wonderful contrast was his knowledge, flexibility and simply understanding psychology of 50+ years old person. He fixed a problem I started original treatment for and all harm done by previous orthodontist in a very good time. He did not hesitate to contact my dentist and oral surgeon to discuss situation. As a result both my doctors are very happy with his work. He made a stable base for future dental work in my mouth. I will definitely recommend him to all my friends and coworkers.

I came to Dr. Rizkallah in my senior year as a college student. I never had braces because it never seemed like the right time to get them. After visiting Dr. Rizkallah's office I learned that braces are not just for teenagers but rather many adults are now getting braces too. Additionally, I just started a new job at a large financial company only to realize that my boss has braces himself!

After my free consultation I decided to get the clear braces that Dr. Riz offers. The ceramic braces were hardly noticeable and I can even look back on my graduation photos without noticing that I had braces on! Dr. Rizkallah said that if I wore the ceramic braces I could be in and out of them with a perfect smile in 9 -11 months where most other doctors had said 1-2 years. Dr. Riz was true to his word and I was able to have my braces for only 10 ﾽ months. Dr Riz treats each patient individually and showed a genuine interest in taking care of me as if I was his daughter. I am so happy with my results and I would encourage anyone who is thinking about getting braces to do it while you can because there is never the perfect time but the short-term inconvenience of having braces will pay dividends for your future happiness.

I had "shopped" around orthodontists and feel like I couldn't have made a better choice. Dr. Rizkallah's facilities are top-notch, his staff is friendly and helpful, and he is just about the nicest guy ever. I don't have insurance, and getting braces isn't cheap, but I feel like the smile I now have was worth every hard-earned penny I spent with Dr. Riz.

You know how sometimes you dread going to the dentist or the doctor? Even though my teeth ached from the braces sometimes, I never once dreaded going to Dr. Riz.

I will also mention the emergency situation I had: About 6 months into my treatment I fell, chipped a tooth, and broke a couple of my braces. The front desk staff got me in to see him ASAP and he really took good care of me.

If anyone reading this is considering going to him: GO! You won't regret it.

I only wish all of my other doctors could be as pleasant, professional, thoughtful, experienced, and customer service-oriented as him! (One of my pet peeves is waiting for hours at the doctor's office - only one time I waited 25 minutes or so and he even apologized! No doctors ever do that!)

I came to Dr. Rizkallah after a very unfortunate experience with my previous orthodontist and having already worn braces for more than 3 years, only to have them taken off and find out that what should have been done had not been and I essentially would have to start over to ready my mouth for implants.

My dentist shared my case with Dr. Rizkallah and he very generously, without hesitation, took me on. I cannot give any higher recommendation for an orthodontist. His staff and his location are all first rate.

I am a demanding consumer and I actually can not find a single negative about my experience with Dr. Rizkallah. He truly cares about his patients.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done to help my smile!

If you are looking to get braces, look no further than Dr. Rizkallah. I sampled a number of offices and got a good feeling for what was available. After talking with Dr. Riz, I was convinced he was not only the most competent and educated orthodontist around, but the most friendly as well. In addition, his office has new, state-of-the-art equipment for the patients' convenience. Throughout the course of treatment he was very informative and comforting. He was able to work with my teeth to make them straight and beautiful. Not only did he do a great job with my teeth, he did it in a shorter amount of time than any other orthodontist had quoted me and for less money. I couldn't image being more satisfied with any other orthodontist.

The results were magnificent! I was shocked to see the before and after pictures. Doctor Rizkallah did an amazing job in a very short period of time.Procedures were very well explained to me, nothing was hidden. The pain was of a regular orthodontic treatment, no medication was necessary during my whole treatment. The cost did not surprise me, because I did have ceramic braces put on. My insurance surely assisted on my payments. Doctor Rizkallah's entire staff were very polite and professional during these twelve months of treatment. The payment and scheduling transactions were very simple and pleasant. The results were magnificent! I was shocked to see the before and after pictures.

Dr. Riz is knowledgeable and competent at what he does. He is also confident in his assessment and recommendations which I really found assuring. He did an outstanding job and I am already recommending others to him. The office itself is very clean and the nicest, well decorated dental office I've ever been in.

My first visit with the doctor was a amazing. the first word he said about how beautiful my teeth will be, painless, was the result. to be honest the cost was little bit high for me, because i was paying it all alone, in otherwords, no help from insurance or any body, but I would even pay more when I see the mirror, and I don't have to hide my smile, instead of covering my smile with my hands all the time. I was very happy how the chair-side manners, frong desk , hygienists, and all others. I am glad that I gave Dr. Rizkallah a chance to do a great work with my teeth and that in return I get a chance not only a smile but a great smile. A great result.

When I came to Boston for college, I already had braces on from an Orthodontist in Florida. I needed a new orthodontist to continue my treatment. I looked online and chose Dr. Rizkallah; it turned out to be an excellent decision.

Dr. Riz's facility is state of the art and the customer service is great. His dental assistants are great too. He is a perfectionist and is very professional. He is very nice; he always initiates a conversation and asks about well being.

Payment plan was flexible. Dr. Riz accomodated for the $1,500 in fees that I had paid to the Orthodontist in Florida by not charging me for a new treatment. The transition to a new orthodontists was painless.

Unlike the other orthodontist I had who seemed to have no idea what he was doing, Dr. Riz diagnosed my teeth and came up with an effective plan. Before meeting Dr. Riz, I was ashamed of my teeth, but now after my treatment I am so proud of my teeth that I am willing to say cheese and smile for the camera.

I will recommend him to anyone seeking an orthodontist. He is simply the best!

I had been to 3 other Orthodontists before I came to Dr. Riz. Each of the other Dr's had given me a treatment time of 18-24 months, but Dr. Riz gave me a much shorter treatment time. He had my case finished in just under a year, and the results are wonderful!

The office is state of the art, and very adult friendly. I felt comfortable there from day one. His staff knew my name by my second visit.

Dr. Riz is a perfectionist, and took care of every tiny detail to ensure great results. From day one he explained everything to me. I didn't feel left in the dark or surprised about anything. My options for treatment, and cost were all laid out for me at the consultation. Dr. Riz always took the time to answer any questions that I had, no matter how small.

When my braces came off I was able to get my retainers the same day.

I would not let my family, or friends go to any other Orthodontist. I would highly recommend Dr. Riz to anyone in need of Orthodontic treatment. Dr. Riz is simply the best there is.

Overall I was extremely pleased with my experience with Dr. Rizkallah and his practice. The staff is personable, the facility is state of the art and Dr. Rizkallahs expertise in orthodontics is unsurpassed. Before visiting Dr. Rizs establishment I was given an estimate of three years and no guarantee that the spaces between my teeth would close. Approximately one year after my initial consultation with Dr. Riz my braces were off and my teeth were straight and space free. It's impossible to describe the satisfaction at my ability to smile without closed lips and without the awkwardness of covering my mouth with my hand. I never thought I would have a smile worth similing about. Thank you Dr. Riz.

Dr. Rizkallah is very personable and professional. He lets you know what's going on with your treatment every step of the way. I had other dentists/orthodontists tell me it was impossible to close the gap in my teeth, and Dr. Rizkallah not only proposed an effective and successful treatment plan, but my treatment was complete in under a year. After removing my braces, I was able to get my retainer within 24 hrs. The office also gives you the opportunity to set up an online profile where you can view your before and after photos. The office staff is absolutely professional and accommodating. Everyone is friendly and seems to put forth effort to know each patient. I was surprised that the staff recognized me by my second visit and addressed me by name when I walked into the office. Scheduling an appointment was convenient and the office called me and sent an email reminder about my appointment. The location is great, just steps from the Davis Square T Stop, and the payment plan was very affordable. Ultimately, I am completely satisfied with my experience and I have recommended the office to other people. I have a new found confidence with my new smile and Im always excited to show others my before and after photos.

All this in an incredibly convenient location. Dr. Rizkallah has even thought of having a huge parking lot in the backyard just for the use of his patients.

I just got my braces removed last Friday. After 18 months, I have perfectly aligned teeth now.

I started July 2005. I was very hesitant at first. My teeth were too crowded and I was almost 35. I didn't know if it would all be worth it. I had a free consulation with Dr. Rizkallah. He was extremly nice, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Now looking back, he did everything he promised.

I had an appointment with Dr. Riz every month during my treatment. His office is always clean, his service always prompt, his staff always friendly and competent. Dr. Riz himself is always warm, caring and encouraging.

I had four of my teeth removed, but now you can't even see any gap in my teeth. The result is amazing! I won't say that the whole treatment was without any pain, but I think Dr. Riz and his staff did the work as gently and carefully as possible. Now looking at myself in the mirror, I feel it's all worth it.

My overall experiance with Dr. Mouhab Rizkallah for my child's ortho treatment was the best. My son son's treatment was always treated like an individual not a number. With the pleasant, warm, and caring staff at the entrance to the exit of the visit. Not one person in the office if it was a patient to a family, or friend of the patient were always happy to be there. My son also enjoyed the point earning reward system.

The treatment for my son's teeth was a great succes. We love the way his teeth with a perfect smile.

I wish if I had to do it again I would with no dout.

I would like to thank him and his staff for all the hard work in making us feel great at all times. I wish much more great success in evereything you do.

From my son: This orthodontist place is very very great. I thought the braces procees was going to take a really long but it didn't and it went by very quickly. Dr.Rizkallah and the staff were very good with the patients. They were also very patient with me. As I went back for each appointment it was only 10 mins. or less and as they were doing my treatment they were so gently as possible. I would recommend this place.

I would reccomend Dr. Rizkallah to anyone who is thinking about getting braces. He was very professional and he makes you feel special (like you're his only patient). He takes the time to explain everything to you; what will happen, what is going on now, what has changed, etc. He's a nice guy, so there's no stress when you're in his care.

His office is very nice; clean, free internet access, plasma TV in the waiting room, but there's no time to enjoy any of this since you're in and out pretty quickly. I have a long commute to his office, so sometimes I'm pretty early, but they try their best so that I don't have to wait long. Sometimes I even leave at the time that I had my appointment scheduled.

Everyone in his office is very nice. They help you out with whatever you need, they're professional, I have nothing but pleasant things to say about them.

That was my wife's opinion. As for me, I think they run a tight ship. Professional, curtious. As for the price, I think it was pretty good. For what you get, the price was awesome. You might pay a little more than some other place, but you get the whole shebang. Everything is taken care of. No more worries. No more follow up apointments. Definately top notch, highly reccomended.

I am extremely satisfied with my experience with Dr. Riz and his office. Dr. Riz talked with me about the best treatment for my specific case and advised me to go with clear braces. Within a week of my first consultation, I was in braces. Exactly a year later, my treatment with braces was over, three months before expected. Dr. Riz took the time to explain to me why he was performing certain adjustments throughout the year and he told me what exactly he was trying to fix. Everyone in his office was very professional and helpful as well. Also, he offered the best payment plan for my specific scenario and helped to relieve any stress and anxiety I had. He knew I did not want to be in braces for long, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Dr. Riz was concerned with my satisfaction and also took the time to get to know me and keep up with what was going on in my life as well. He takes great pride in his work and told me numerous times that he would not be happy until my teeth were perfect. I have great respect for Dr. Riz and would highly reccomend him to anyone who is thinking about orthodontics.

I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Riz because he does lingual braces. Having had braces when I was young, I was interested in straightening my teeth this time around without obvious brackets. Dr. Riz studied my films thoroughly then presented me with his reccommended treatment. Though lingual braces are more expensive, he suggested that I opt for clear braces as they would better suit my treatment plan. He said that given what needed to be done, the clear braces would be more comfortable and promised that I would love them. He was right. I was and continue to be very impressed with his professionalism, attention to detail, and desire to do what is best for his patients. It is clear that he loves practicing orthodontics and is always looking to improve patient time and comfort using the latest technology and standards. His impeccable office reflects his style; modern and comfortable. His staff is welcoming and organized. Most importantly, I couldn't have imagined better results. My teeth are beautifully straight and my bite has never felt better.

I am thrilled with the results of my orthodontic work from Dr Riz! I would like to offer some advice: if you are currently searching for an orthodontist, you should just stop looking and call Dr Riz, because of these reasons:

-His team is professional, meticulous, friendly, and knowledgeable.

-His office is state of the art, and modern. The waiting room is very comfortable and there is a computer station where patients can go online while they wait.

-The location is very convenient. It's right in Davis Square, 2 min from the T stop, and there's a parking lot.

-It really isn't that expensive, considering all the high end equipment in which the office was full of.

-And most importantly, Dr Riz and his team really made me feel at ease. I never felt uncomfortable or stressed out because he always gave me updates on what he was working on, and how he was doing it, and how long it would take etc...

It was overall a pleasurable experience, and i felt very lucky to have had him. My teeth look awesome, my bite feels great, and i can't stop getting compliments on my smile.

Patient Review 73:

Having received orthodontic treatment at another facility 6 years ago, I was not satisfied with having GOOD teeth. I wanted as close to perfection as my teeth could get. From the very first interview with Dr. Riz, I knew that I had walked into the right place. While discussing the importance of straight lines, tooth centering / jaw alignment, overall proportions, and tooth shape, Dr. Riz's passion and fervent enthusiam for orthodontics were unmistakable. Without having seen any pictures of his work, my first impression was that this man was a craftsman, an artisan, a sculptor whose medium happens to be teeth. His attention to detail was so refreshing as we continued to discuss scalloping tooth edges, and radiusing corners to avoid a fake / dentured look.

Offering every modern form of orthodontic treatment available, as well as some proprietary techniques that he holds patents for, Dr. Riz is uniquely positioned to deliver OUTSTANDING results. I will recommend Dr. Riz without reservation, and put my name on it. Do yourself a favor when you ask for his advice - TAKE IT. Have patience, these few months will be forgotten once the braces come off. The results are SOOOOO WORTH IT! - Charlie Romneos

Patient Review 74:

As an adult seeking orthodontic treatment, I had gone to several area orthodontists and been unhappy with both the office environment and the staff. When I walked into Dr. Rizkallah's office, I knew that I had found the right place. The staff is wonderful and the office is beautiful. They all work together to make the process simple and convenient. I could not recommend this place more highly. Some key points:

-Dr. R makes the initial consult a chance to learn about your options. He explained very clearly every option and candidly presented the costs a the pros and the cons of each choice. You know the total cost and duration of treatment before you begin. No hidden charges, no additional fees, nothing. Very refreshing.

-He offers a wide range of treatment options (braces, invisalign, etc.).

-There is no office that I have seen that is more adult friendly.

-The staff is all very talented and likeable; from the time you check in to the time you leave, you know that you are in competent hands.

-I felt like the treatment was an excellent value.

-They have their own parking lot!! In Davis Square no less.

-And the most important point is that the outcome of my treatment far exceeded my expectations.

My experience was so above and beyond everything I could have hoped for. I started with severe overcrowding in my mouth and was in desperate need of braces. I however am a 30 yr old working in the fast paced Finance world. Dr. Rizkallah eased all my fears by tailoring my treatment to my lifestyle. I know it is a novel concept, but he actually worked with me to develop the best possible scenario for my situation. His professionalism and knowledge is unsurpassed. I was never rushed in and out of a chair and I was always made to feel valued. Dr. Rizkallah is a professional orthodontist with an impressive background and academia credentials. His facilities are unlike anything I have ever seen. They are impeccable with attention paid to the smallest details. Why is this important? Because Dr. Rizkallah designed his facilities just like he does his patients case; attention to every detail to ensure your successfully treated. Do, I recommend Dr. Rizkallah? 100% yes, there is no comparison to his service. I smile so much now and have renewed confidence in my appearance. My family and extended family will all see Dr. Rizkallah; I will not let them go anywhere else. Total Success!

Patient Review 76:

I was extra careful about choosing an orthodontist. I went to so many offices in Boston and Cambridge for consultations, but none of them could make me make the big decision. Finally AND luckily, I heard about Dr. Riz. After the complimentary consultation with Dr. Riz, immediately I decide to get his treatment without any doubts or hesitation. Actually, the price was very reasonable or even much lower than the estimates I got from other orthodontists.

Dr. Riz is a highly skilled, professional and knowledgeable orthdontist. In addition to being a very intelligent and nice person, he really cares about his patients and his work for his patients. He really makes sure that his patients are completely satisfied with his work. He was extremely dedicated to making sure that I was happy with the results and always cared about how I felt. He explained the exact treatment and what was going to be done step by step at each visit. He always listened to me and answered my questions so patiently and professionally.

He is extremely knowledgeable of new techniques and procedures, and he uses state-of-the-art equipment. I found Dr. Ruz to be very dedicated to staying up to date on the latest and best techniques in orthodontic and to using the latest and best technology. Everything in his office is things of the best quality. The braces he uses are amazingly comfortable and work very well. The retainers he uses are invisible ones which tightly fit my teeth to avoid any teeth shifting and strong enough to last for over 15 years easily or for the rest of my life. What is amazing about him is he kindly placed new braces immediately right after I requested him to rotate some of my teeth for better results. Also, I was a little uncomfortable with my upper retainer, and he noticed that and made ANOTHER PAIR of retainers for free. Again, these things are very expensive, but he always does the best for his patients satisfaction. His staff is always very friendly, helpful and equally wonderful.

I cannot imagine how I could have gotten a better result from any other orthodontist. I am 200% happy with the result and the work that Dr. Riz put into my treatment. The entire treatment was always so comfortable; actually it was done 3 or 4 times faster than the estimated treatment length by other orthodontists. It was quick but the BEST! I highly recommend Dr. Riz to anyone looking for the best orthodontic experience available.

Thank you so much, Dr. Riz and his staff!

I Found Dr. Rizkallah on this website and went in for my first apointment. He explained everything that was going on with my teeth and what he could provide to fix it. The cost was great! I saw him on every visit. He is really nice and made me feel very comfortable. Everytime I had a queston or concern he listened carefully and really explained to me about what he was doing and how my teeth were going to react. I fully recommend anyone to go to Dr. Riz. Hes a wonderful doctor and a wonderful person! And my teeth look amazing now!

Dr. Rizkallah was excellent. He personally treated me during every visit (which is more than I can say for my former orthodontist), carefully explained the benefits and consequences of every treatment option and every step of my chosen treatment, and was very skilled and knowledgable. His office uses the most modern equipment and is extremely clean. I especially recommend him to people in my situation -- those who had braces before, but need slight, discrete re-adjustment because of teeth shifting.

I went to Dr. Riz based on the reviews I found on this site and I am very happy with him. He is very confident, clear-spoken, and attentive. His assitants are very competent and friendly. His office is brand-new, comfy, and super modern. I just started treatment a week ago. Yesterday I went in to get my braces and had four teeth removed to make room in my mouth. I was terrified, but the whole experience was very pleasant. I didn't feel any pain during or after the procedure. I am really thrilled. I am also happy with the cost. Even though all his equipments are brand new and very modern, his fees are not expensive at all.

I was too scared to get my braces before because all my friends told me how painful and embarassing it is. Now with Dr. Riz, it is not bad at all.

Dr. Riz is very knowledgeable and sharp. He carefully explained all my treatment options at the beginning of the treatment. Other orthodontists I saw in the past simply suggested risky jaw surgery when it was probably not necessary. In addition to that he is very patient and has shown great attention to detail. In less than 6 months the way my teeth look has improved immensely (quite amazing in fact). Cost seems in line with other practices in the area. My experience has been outstanding so far.

A few months ago, I bumped into a friend that was wearing one of Dr. Riz's "simple" aligners to straighten her teeth. She only had it for three weeks and her crooked front tooth was already straight. I decided to see Dr. Riz myself to see if I could fix my crooked teeth with a "simple" aligner. I was really impressed with the speed and quality of the result. I am smiling bigger than ever! My teeth weren't bad enough to push me into braces, but they weren't good enough to get the idea of braces out of my mind. Invisalign was a bit out of my price- range. "Simple" aligners are great. I strongly encourage anyone in a similar position to check out Dr. Riz's simple aligners. Really cool. P.S. Smooth Office!

Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable only just begins to describe Dr. Riz's approach to Orthodontics. Arguably, Dr. Riz is one of the Boston areas finest Orthodontist with Sommervill's most immaculate facilities.

Upon checking in, you have the option of checking your email at one of two computer stations or watching television on the over-sized, flat screen television in the plush waiting area. You are guaranteed to receive specialized, expert attention from both the staff and Dr. Riz himself.

Allow me to start by saying that my case is a very difficult one. I saw two orthodontists before coming to Dr. Riz. Both of the previous orthodontists were completely stumped and didn't make me feel at all like they had a clear-cut plan for my treatment. When I went to see Dr. Riz he acknowledged that my case was tricky, but within minutes had assessed my situation and come up with a plan that would both make my teeth straight and alleviate the pain I was feeling. Dr. Riz is extremely knowledgeable and one the best in his field. He implements cutting edge technology and materials to make sure each patient is receiving the best treatment according to their case. For instance, he is using microscrews with me; without the screws it would have been nearly impossible to achieve any success with my case. The other orthodontists I saw never even mentioned using microscrews. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Riz, and would even go so far as to say don't waste your time or money anywhere else (like I did!) I still have several months to go in my braces, but my case is progressing nicely and I feel quite sure that, when my braces come off, I will have a great smile and no more pain!

I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Riz. Briefly, I think that this orthodontist has everything you could ever want from a doctor and office. Besides a drop dead gorgeous office, he is doing "Hidden Braces" on me. The braces are on the BACK of my teeth!!
