I look forward to getting to know each of our patients, and appreciate helping patients achieve a healthy beautiful smile.

Where I have the opportunity to work with both Dr. Kaur and Dr. Gunraj. My love for dentistry grew as soon as I joined the team. I enjoy working with patients, helping them achieve the smile of theirdreams.I enjoy connecting with the patients I see daily. Aside from the office work, I also enjoy spending quality time with my family and trying out new food cuisines when I have the opportunity to do so.
I grew up in the Dominican Republic and moved to the united states in 2014. I chose dentistry because Ive always been interested in the teeth function in our day to day life and how much it can affect a person. I have come to love seeing the evolution of a patients smile when they first step in our office for a consult, up until the point where we remove the braces and finally give them their finished beautiful smile.

I enjoy spending time with my family and can't wait to meet all of our new and future patients.
I have worked with Dr. Kaur since 2002 off and on. I am a certified orthodontic assistant and certified radiology technician. I love my job because I am surrounded by positive people with positive attitude in a positive environment. My hobbies include reading, spending fun time with my sisters, and being involved with my daughters dance competitions. I am very close to my family.

Dr. Kaur is a pretty qualified orthodontist, no discussion with that. But the reason I am writing this review and giving only 2 stars is because every problem I have had with this office is money related. And we have had more than one, I can assure you that. Right now I am extremely disappointed because I have been treating my kids here since 2017 and after all those years there isn't any consideration with the history of a no cancellation and always on time for appointments patient. We've been told by Dr. Kaur on January 2022 that we were just waiting for two teeth come out and after that we should be able to end the treatment. During all this months we heard the same thing in each appointment that there was nothing we can do just wait. The 2 years treatment of my daughter ended in June, they said we had 3 months grace period, so we waited until now August/2022 when the grace period is about to end and guess what? This month Dr. Kaur decided that there's something that we can do besides just wait and refered my daughter for a surgery, that can solve the problem. Seriously Dr. Kaur? Why didn't you refer her in January? I called them and asked that and she said that my daughter wasn't ready for the surgery on January. Really? Why every time we went there they always said that nothing much has changed? Why there's a solution on the last month that I already had it covered? I am so frustrated with it that I cannot express all my frustration in a review. We decided to take off the braces either way and guess what? They don't have availability before the end of my grace period. This means that I will have to pay for take the braces off without finishing the treatment. I have another son using braces but with another office and he is having the same "nature mother" problem and you know how the other office is handling it? They won't charge me for the delay, because the delay of the treatment was something that we can't control. We went in all appointments, he used his bands and we never arrived late. Can you see the diference? Same problem different way of solving it. And know after almost 5 years of treating my daughter with the same doctor, arriving on time, using her bands and never canceling the appointment I will have to end the treatment before it ends because right now I don't have money to continue. We are desolated.

I was referred to Dr. Kaur for my braces treatment leading up to underbite surgery and I'm more than happy with how the treatment went. Dr. Kaur and her team were fantastic to work with and made sure the treatment was as smooth and painless as possible.
