About Dr. Sima Rafati, DDS, MS
Ceiling-mounted TVs, snacks, and results that reviews say still hold up nearly a decade later mark Dr. Sima Rafati's practice.
Reviews point to a modern, well-equipped office — ceiling TVs during appointments and surfaces wiped down between patients — as a recurring highlight, along with treatment results that hold up over time, including a fully closed open bite and braces work still intact years later. Dr. Rafati is described as patient and knowledgeable with both kids and parents, explaining treatment plans up front and starting care only when appropriate rather than pushing early or unnecessary treatment. Several reviews mention families with multiple children in treatment and note scheduling that runs on time with same-day availability for urgent issues.

Dr. Rafati was very nice and kind, the chairs were also very comfy and I love the cozy atmosphere there. Unlike other orthodontists I’ve met the wires never poked. And the staff are always very polite and eager to help out.

I’ve been a patient at Dr. Sima Rafati’s office for the past four years, and I truly couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the very beginning, Dr. Rafati and her team have been incredibly professional, welcoming, and attentive. They always took the time to explain each step of my treatment and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. Now that my treatment is complete, I can honestly say I have a beautiful smile that I’m so proud of. The results exceeded my expectations, and I’m beyond grateful for the care and precision Dr. Rafati put into my case. If you’re looking for an orthodontist who is skilled, patient, and genuinely cares about her patients’ outcomes, I highly recommend Dr. Sima Rafati. Thank you for giving me a smile I love!
