Team
What patients say
Vibe: family-friendly
The practice receives overwhelmingly positive feedback (10/12 five-star reviews) with strong praise for Dr. Hanachi's expertise, friendly demeanor, and exceptional rapport with children and families. However, two one-star reviews raise significant concerns: one about perceived judgment toward Medicare patients and another criticizing extraction-based orthodontic approaches as outdated and harmful. The aggregate sentiment is highly favorable for family care, though clinical philosophy around extractions appears to be a point of contention.
