Dr. Mina and her team are the best in the desert. She can perform miracles! I am so fortunate to get my invisalign treatment at the Center for Orthodontics. She is also my husband's hero. His treatment was short and perfect. I highly recommend Dr. Mina.

The reviews highlight the staff which are great. Lobby- cushy. Video games cookies coffee etc. great. Sadly all this means nothing when your child is bullied by the dentist herself, while staff looks on and allows her to belittle children for failing at their endeavors to have straight teeth. And definite difference since she changed her sign to promote Invisalign. How sad when your kid and peers discuss their Orthodonitst as mean and scary. Such an expense and it takes time. Her bad cop mannerisms are just bad. I guess if you do everything perfect and do the thing she wants she can manage kindness- God forbid your dog gets the Invisalign or you mess up the order

Grizelda is the best there! And Dr. Narula is so nice. Everyone is sweet and kind and has the biggest smile on their faces. They make everyone feel more comfortable when going in even if they are nervous or scared.

I am new to getting orthodontics, and I must say that I am absolutely floored by the level of service, warmth, friendliness, and professionalism by Dr. Narula and her staff. Melissa at the front is a gem, and was so patient and helpful with all of my questions. Tatiana was also extremely welcoming! David and Brenda were so accommodating with Financial planning and worked with my difficult work schedule. Dr. Narula herself was fantastic, and gave me the confidence in the process and herself to undergo this process I had put off for so long. You could not find anywhere else better!
