Dr. Kianoush Tari is a loving wife, proud mother of two boys, an Ivy League trained orthodontist, an active participant in the community, and a consummate student. A native Virginian from Fairfax, she completed her undergraduate studies at George Mason University before attending the University of Pennsylvania for her Doctorate of Dental Medicine. Dr. Tari then received specialty training in Orthodontics, graduating with a Certificate of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, as well as a master's degree in dental research from Temple University.
Early into her residency and specialization in orthodontics, Dr. Tari recognized that a great practice is equal parts professional and personal. Patients expect and deserve a great smile, and because every patient is unique, they also deserve a treatment experience that focuses on their unique dentition and lifestyle. So, Dr. Tari launched her practice in Purcellville with an emphasis on infusing compassion with orthodontic expertise to create a better patient experience. After all, personal and professional are the foundations of trust between patient and practitioner, so Dr. Tari decided to make these the hallmarks of her practice.
“We know that when communication and trust are great, so, too, will be the patient’s experience and smile results. Therefore, treatment at Tari Orthodontics is as much me listening to the cares and concerns of the patient as it is to moving teeth. This collaboration is what sets us apart.”
Family time for Dr. Tari includes exercising, supporting her sons' school functions, teaching her kids how to live a healthy lifestyle, and parents night out with her husband. The family are loyal Washington Wizards fans and attend games as often as their schedules allow. Together they enjoy traveling to different parts of the world and experiencing a variety of cultures and customs.
Dr. Tari is passionate about orthodontics and brings her love of family, friends, and the community into her treatment philosophy. After all, orthodontic treatment is oftentimes life altering. So Dr. Tari endeavors to make every patients time in her care equally amazing.
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
In my spare time, I enjoy singing and spending time with my fianc Vinny and our cat Goob. I have a huge family that I see often and love them all very much. I enjoy taking walks and being outdoors, as well as playing games and having fun with friends.
I enjoy getting to know each patient, and working with them from start to finish. Seeing how excited they are to start treatment, and then watching those amazing new smiles develop, is very rewarding. Of course, the best day is when we take off the braces and the patient sees their beautiful smile for the first time! I provide assistance to Dr. Tari as she cares for our patients. I make sure she has everything she needs, and talk with the patient about what were doing.
Away from work, I spend all of my time with my son and daughter, Matthew and Jalyse. I love baseball and the Baltimore Orioles. Summer is my favorite season. I love cooking out, pools, beaches, and being outside.
I joined Dr. Tari's team in 2021. I work with all new patients by taking X-rays, scans, and photos. I enjoy working with all patients whether existing or new. It is very rewarding to see how excited patients get once they start to see their smile transform.
I joined Dr. Taris team in 2012; everything I know about orthodontics I have learned from Dr. Tari's excellent tutelage. I work with new patients as they prepare for their orthodontic journey by taking X-rays, photos, and scans. I also assist with patient care throughout their treatment. My favorite part of my job is working with kids of all ages and meeting new people. I love learning new things, whether its about a patient or a new technology in the dental field.
My goal is to make everyone feel at home here at Tari Orthodontics. I take care of updating our social media with all the fun things we do throughout the year! I love to treat our patients by doing frequent contests with awesome prizes. I also arrange our Patient Appreciation events which allows me to get to know our patients and their families. I enjoy making nice connections within our town, our local schools and dentist offices. It's great putting smiles on everyone's faces as our team creates the strongest smiles.
Dr. Tari has strived to create a practice that she would choose for her own familys care, thereby imparting a values-driven business model built upon customer service. The four values at the foundation of everything we do are respect, compassion, commitment, and quality. We carefully and thoughtfully measure our delivery on each of these values every day because we know that a great experience while in our care is just as important as the great smile it yields.
Respect: You are unique. Thus, we emphasize the value we can provide by crafting an orthodontic treatment plan that aligns with your goals, cares and concerns. We respect this diversity and embrace your uniqueness. We recognize that your life cant be molded around orthodontic treatment, but rather that treatment must fit within your busy life. We respect your time. And because communication is at the heart of a great experience, we respect your input. Simply put, we listen.
Commitment: Orthodontic treatment is a big commitment in terms of time, trust, and financial investment. Therefore, we believe that we have to reciprocate with equal commitment in everything we do. We are committed to being on time. We are committed to living up to the promises that we make when you walk through our doors. We are committed to providing exemplary care to everyone, every day, and every way possible.
Quality: We strive to be perfectionists for the benefit of our patients. This borderline obsession with quality ensures that we never take for granted your decision to entrust Tari Orthodontics with your smile. Dr. Tari is invested in keeping at the forefront of orthodontic techniques to ensure maximum comfort of care and shorter treatment time. From team-wide continuing education and training to our implementation and use of cutting-edge systems, tools, and strategies, Tari Orthodontics is fastidious about quality. You deserve no less.
