Alpan Orthodontics

I had previous appointment issues before, but they have since gotten better. The staff is friendly, and attentive. I had a consultation with Dr. Alpan, and was pleased with the plan for my teeth! It’s been a few months, they know what they’re doing over here and that’s very comforting. Excited for the upcoming end results:)!

Although this place isn’t too bad, I won’t recommend it and here’s why. I just recently completed my ortho treatment with them and will try to be as objective as possible.
The good:
— Dr. Alpan is a Pro. He cares.
— The staff is (most times) very friendly and nice
— Prices are good
The bad:
— The place is overcrowded. Dr Alpan is just one of the 3 or 4 dentists and be sure that you will only see him once in a couple monthly appointments
— There are many helpers, most of them will be covering your montly visits and also most of them don’t give a f… That is why you overall treatment may delay — they will just replace the rubber bends instead of doing something to speed things up. In fact, they will do that only if you start arguing and complaining. In example, I very strictly followed all the recommendations and still it took 6 months more than they planned, paying extra months out of pocket.
— They assume that you have all the time in the world. Be ready to come in time and wait for 30 mins or come 15 mins early and wait for the same 30−40mins.
Hope this review will be helpful.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with other Unilocalers, here. Dr. Aplan himself is very nice, but the whole vibe of this office is PUSHY. The receptionist calls you all the time trying to get you to make another appointment, which could not be more annoying. Additionally, they overbook so end up sitting in the waiting room for 30 mins to an hour before you get seen.
Also, I paid $$$ for a cheap retainer that didn’t work. I’ve had retainers in the past and this one just felt so poorly made.
Unhappy.

Terrible «orthodontist» who is using his father’s name to continue his father’s career.
Be ready for the following to be guaranteed to happen to you:
–Rude staff «welcome» you
–Have Dr. Alpan screw you in changing the contract that you sign and charge you more money
–wait 1 hour+ for each visit
–sign up in his BH location but get asked/​forced to visit his downtown LA location
HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Worst experience I’ve ever had with an orthodontist. I had tad screws put in my gum, was so painful. The doctor told me it was like a squirt gun and ide feel no pain, it was so terrible they had to check if it was in the correct place. Then was told I needed two more, I decided to not have them put in. I had these screws in the side of my gum for a year after because I was so terrified to have them taken out after my experience of getting them in. Now I have marks where they were placed. Never went back

I just finished my braces treatment and I’m very happy with the results. Dr alpan and his magnificent staff are the best. They always made feel good and treated me great. I thank you all of you guys and of course I highly recommend them. If u want the best and look great Dr Alpan is the place to go.

The staff, the service, everything is a+++ my daughter is 100 percent happy here. Claudia always gives us a warm welcome Anmery is the sweetest woman, all of the techs are warm and kind, and Dr Alpan is an amazing dentist who knows his stuff. He’s running a great team here and it shows these people love their job! Keep it up guys!

My daughter completed an approximately 2 year orthodontic treatment with Dr. Alpan last fall. HER TEETH TURNED OUT BEAUTIFULLY! She is constantly getting compliments on them! Her younger sister had completed phase 1 treatment with a very skilled and reputable orthodontist a few years earlier, but when I took her in for an evaluation, the quote had increased to an obscene amount. Dr Alpan definitely proved that he wasn’t just about the money and actually seems to care about his patients and the quality of his work.
We did not have any issues scheduling. Most of the appointments require at least 6 weeks in between visits, and when we did have conflicts or changes his staff was very accommodating and always worked something out for us. I’m not going to say the waiting room was always empty, but there are some situations that you have to be prepared that you may have some kind of wait. That’s what books and smart phones are for. I can’t say that it was ever completely unreasonable, plus there were also times when she did get in and out quickly. Some people are simply impatient, but when I look at the whole picture, would I rather go somewhere where there was never any wait and have the end result be inferior? I don’t know too many great practitioners that you can always breeze in and out of. Maybe that’s just me. Everyone in the office was very pleasant and professional as well – from scheduling, to the techs, to finances/​billing – absolute smooth experiences throughout the entire process.
Dr. Alpan is on the soft spoken side, but I’m not really in need of being charmed while my child’s mouth is being worked on. To be honest, I didn’t 100 percent trust how it would turn out, because I tend to be leery of new people and experiences and also because she had what I thought were some pretty severe issues with her bite. In the end, I am thankful to him about every other day when I see her smile, and every time she is tagged in a Facebook photo and the first thing I notice is how absolutely perfect her teeth are! Couldn’t have asked for more…

Dr. Alpan and his staff are very skilled, but they have reached their maximum capacity for patients. Scheduling regular or emergency visits is very difficult. They have no flexibility because they have so many patients– even a month out.

We have been going to Dr. Alpan with both my kids for the past 4 years, and LOVE Dr. Alpan and his staff! We always feel at home when we visit and when we call with questions or concerns. We especially love the fact that no matter which office we visit, the staff remains the same!!! We have recommended to many of our friends Dr. Alpan, and they all love their experience as well.
Continue the good work! My kids’ smiles are priceless!!!

I never had braces as a teenager and always knew that I needed them. Dr. Alpan’s modern, organized website caught my attention first, and that he had an office in my area. The site was full of great information and positive testimonials. I was already impressed. I continued to be impressed from my initial visit 2 years ago through today when I got my braces off and received my retainers.
The office is also very modern– everything from email and text reminders for appointments to digital photos of your before and after pictures.
Dr.Alpan is very thorough, competent, friendly and down to earth. His entire staff is just amazing. Everyone treats you as an individual, remembers your name, little anecdotes about your life, and most important, they are professional and experienced dental care providers. I was always able to be accommodated with appointments, questions I had, and generally, I was well taken care of by the entire office. My teeth look amazing; I am still in shock at how different and how good they look thanks to the quality of care provided by Dr. Alpan and his staff. I would definitely recommend Aesthetic Orthodontics to anyone in need of support for achieving a great smile.

Dr. Alpan and team are the best! I’m finally done with my teeth straightening and couldn’t be happier with the results. It took years but I know that’s only because the doctor is intent on only delivering the best possible results. He even corrected things I didn’t realize needed correcting until I saw the huge difference in my smile. I also always really enjoyed going to the appointments to see the rest of the staff. Everyone is always super friendly and easy going. This made the whole process so much more enjoyable (if you can enjoy dental work that is).
DO IT! THIS IS WHERE YOU WANT TO BE!
