Windy City Orthodontics - Lakeview

As soon as I walked in the first door, I saw my name on their board that said "Welcome" which I thought was a nice personal touch that I have never seen before in an office! The ladies up front are super helpful and friendly, asked me if I had weekend plans (: the technician who took my photos was awesome as well and I'm looking forward to fixing these teeth with windy city ortho Edit aug 4th 2026- Yes they give you champagne for your birthday, but one of the technicians cracked my tooth while cutting my wire today 😅 The other technicians are usually great and always ask Dr. P for his second opinion. This tech realized what she did, paused, and then continued working in my mouth. I heard and felt the crack immediately when it happened. I think a one-off thing, but that tech should not be working on patients

I’ve been a patient here for almost a year, and every visit has been a positive one. The orthodontist is thorough and takes time to explain what changes are happening. The staff is friendly, appointments stay organized, and I’ve never felt like just another name on a schedule. My smile is improving with every checkup.

Staff are very polite and accommodating over the phone, and my orthodontic process has been amazing here. Highly recommend.

If you’re going to get braces in your 40s you could do worse than Windy City Orthodontics. Dr. Pakravan is very good. He has a warm demeanor and a depth of knowledge I appreciate. His techs are equally kind and exceptionally skilled and professional. His front desk ladies have a keen attention to detail that represents the office as a whole well. I’ve never had a bad visit and I’ve been a frequent flyer of sorts.

Dr. Darren Pakravan at Windy City Orthodontics is exceptional. After a softball injury displaced our 17-year-old daughter’s front tooth, Dr. Pakravan dropped everything and came into his practice on a Friday evening after 7p to help. In what could have been a very stressful situation, his calm demeanor immediately put us at ease. He took a thoughtful, detailed approach to care, clearly explaining each step and ensuring we understood the path forward. Just as important, he coordinated directly with our dentist (in real time) and created a comprehensive action plan that not only addressed the injury but helped preserve her smile and confidence during a difficult moment. We are incredibly grateful for his responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine care. Highly recommend.
