Somerville Orthodontist Reviews: Dr. Mouhab Rizkallah, DDS, MA. Dr. Rizkallah, Orthodontist, 02144.

Patient Review 1:

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.

Treatment Length with Dr. Rizkallah: 20 months.

Patient Review 2:

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!

Treatment Length with Dr. Rizkallah: 1 year.

Patient Review 3:

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.

Treatment Length with Dr. Rizkallah: 11 months.

Patient Review 4:

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.

Patient Review 5:

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.

Patient Review 6:

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.

Patient Review 7:

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!

Treatment Length with Dr. Rizkallah: 12 months.

Patient Review 8:

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.

Fantastic treatment! Dr. Riz is very knowledgeable, personable, and dedicated to his patients and art. I had consulted with 4 other orthodontists, and found Dr. Riz to be the most efficient for the money. My treatment lasted 1 year when others said 1.5 at minimum. Believe it or not, I actually miss going to the orthodontist now that I'm done, but I don't miss my snaggle tooth!

Patient Review 10:

Dr. Riz was recommended to me by good friend who is also a periodontist. She said he was the best, wow she was not kidding. I had a very unusual circumstance with my teeth, which was not easy to correct or to deal with. Dr. Riz not only delta with my issue but did it with complete perfection and unparallel profession. 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.

Treatment Length with Dr. Rizkallah: 6 MONTHS.

Patient Review 11:

I went to Dr. Rizkallah in total anxiety. I was too old (I thought) to wear braces and I am not good with appliances in my mouth. Dr. Riz set my mind at ease immediately and I received nothing but the best service during my treatment. Apart from that, the office was a friendly and welcoming one. When my treatment finished I felt that I had made friends in that office, something I rarely feel from medical professionals. Everyone there was honest and direct, keeping me informed on what was happening and how long it would take. All in all, it was a great experience.

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.

Dr. Riz is an absolute pleasure to work with. He explained everything that he did and why, always asked for my opinion, and aimed to ensure that I was satisified with the overall results. He is very personable and makes you feel comfrtable/relaxed. I had braces as a child that did not yield any pleasing results. As an adult, I am so excited and thrilled to finally have a great smile.

Patient Review 15:

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.
