    I had braces as a child, but found that over time, my adult teeth had shifted and was in need of some straightening. I went to see Dr. Tavaraz and she suggested Invisalign for me. I had a great experience with her office. The staff was professional, the office was very modern and up to date with the latest technology. I was even able to see what my smile would look like at the end of my treatment! I would highly recommend Dr. Tavarez and her team. I'm very happy with my new smile!

    Dr. Tavarez is a wonderful pediatric and adult orthodontist. She has offices in both San Carlos and Menlo Park, though currently her San Carlos location is under contruction due to a flood. The offices are clean and modern with a desk and parent consultation area in each exam room. The rooms have modern dental equipment and the waiting rooms stocks current magazines and water. Dr. Tavarez herself is professional and well qualified. Her office staff can be a bit pushy when it comes to scheduling and financials so do make sure you let them know if you would like a second opinion or to do market research before committing to braces. They have fun contests for the kids monthly and she has a system of T-bucks for them to earn prizes. Overall, I like her, but the staff was a mixed bag.
