Hurwitz Harris L, DDS

This is CUT RATE ORTHODONTIA done the old fashioned way. We learned the hard way. This orthodontist accepts a certain insurance as FULL payment for braces. From day one I had bad vibes from the office appearance, the waiting time, and finally the doctor himself. I should have trusted my instincts. Dr. Hurwitz was condescending, vague and evasive when we asked questions. The office is small, hot, stuffy and appears to not have been updated since 1972.
He volunteered little to no information to how the procedure worked. The treatment room is not private; there is more than one treatment chair in one large, cluttered, room so the patients can be lined up in assembly line fashion. The assistants, who seem pretty young and have heavy foreign accents, do much of the work.
We were given no information as how to care for the braces as far as brushing. When asked if there were a special way to brush the braces, he said no! The retainer that was given did not fit properly. We were given contradicting information about whether you should eat with or without the retainer. Within 3 hours of having braces placed on the teeth, 3 brackets broke off. Save your time. I find it incredible that this guy is still practicing. Shop around. Today, there are more modern methods to straighten teeth.
