Dr. Yoram Kohanzadeh is a double graduate of the University of California in Los Angeles. He graduated Magna Cum Laude with a bachelor's degree of Science in Psychbiology and received a doctorate of dental surgery from the UCLA school of Dentistry.
Dr. K as he is known by most, obtained his certificate in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. There he studied many different styles of Orthodontics and was the Craniofacial resident. Also while practicing in New Jersey and New York he taught and lectured at UMDNJ and Montfiore.
The doctor is trilingual, speaking English, Spanish, and Farsi fluently as he finds it very important to be able to communicate directly with his patients and parents himself. He understands that improving your smile is a personal journey and he tailors each treatment to each patients specific needs in order to help them achieve the smile and self confidence they have always wanted.
Away from the office Dr.K stays actively involved in many of the Orthodontic societies such as the AAO (American Association of Orthodontists), the PCSO (Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists), and the CAO Group. He also loves to give back to those in need when he can. Whether it be volunteering internationally, providing dental care to those who otherwise would be without it or supporting local programs such as 'Give Kids a Smile Day' where he goes to local schools with other specialists and dentists to provide dental care and improve awareness among adolescence.
During his down time he has many hobbies to keep him busy. He enjoys hiking, cooking, cars and tech, and he even has a comic book collection from back when he was in braces! Dr. K also loves to hear all about the interests and hobbies of his patients, so tell him about all of the things that you love to do!

Dr. K is a passionate orthodontists who loves his job. He knows all the techniques to correct any oral problems, including bites and gaps, which will make a difference in your smile and in your life. He also has a great team that helps in attending all the clients needs. I personally had a great, painless experience working with Dr. K on my teeth for a few years. I had a complicated case with my teeth since childhood and now I am happy and I can smile in pictures again.

The team at Smile By Dr. K are incredible. Not only was my care top notch, I was given so many options for my post-braces life, most importantly being a special kind of permanent retainer that my dentist and dental hygienist want everyone to have. I can't recommend Dr. K and his team enough.

Dr. K started my braces treatment back in 2017. When I found out he had left my doctors office I was so devastated. About 4/5 years later I still had my braces and I was able to find where he relocated. Dr. K is honestly the best out there (I have had ~6 different orthodontists outside of him). He was able to have my braces off in less than a year of being back with him and I couldn't be anymore grateful for him. I'm so happy with my teeth and my smile and I'm confident when it comes to smiling! He's also so knowledgeable on his area of expertise plus other areas which helps to making you feel so comfortable as a patient because you know he knows what he's doing! Thank you Dr. K!

Dr K and team having been amazing. From my kids to myself. He not only works on our teeth but he always makes us laugh. I thought having braces was just routine, but Dr K looks at our teeth like art. He strives for perfection and it shows in every visit we make to him. The best decision I made was trusting him with my smile. Thank you Dr K.

This office has been a great experience from day one. The office staff and Dr. K really care about achieving your personal smile goals, and are extremely hospitable and professional. The moment you walk in, you are treated like family, not like a patient or a number. This place is much more than just an office creating a pretty smile. This office is about giving you a glow when you smile. They care about you!

Dr. K is super accommodating and his equipment is from the 22nd century! "Metal mouth" will be a phrase from the past when you go to him. He is kind and patient, understanding and detail oriented. My girls really appreciate him as their orthodontist. And I, as their mother, have peace!
