In short

Just 5% of its reviews are low-rated, but 6 of the 9 one- and two-star reviews since October 2023 describe pressure toward treatment the reviewer doubted, and the practice hasn't replied to any of its low-rated reviews. The office itself wins praise: 12 reviews call it clean and seven reviews praise how it looks. Its website describes Ahmed Elbira as a board-certified orthodontist.
