About Ellicott City Orthodontics
Text reminders, quick rescheduling, and a smooth handoff from Dr. Switzer to Dr. Pardis Parizadeh keep families and mid-treatment transfers on track.
Reviews at Ellicott City Orthodontics point to unusually responsive scheduling: text-based reminders, quick rescheduling, and staff who fit patients in on short notice or even shifted appointments around events like birthdays. The doctor, now Dr. Pardis Parizadeh after a transition from Dr. Switzer that reviewers describe as smooth, comes up often for a calm, collaborative approach and realistic treatment plans. Patients transferring mid-treatment also mention feeling well accommodated, and several reviews describe straight, well-finished results after complex cases.

Ellicott City orthodontics has been a great experience for my son. My son is not always compliant. But the orthodontist is always patient with him. The office staff are always pleasant. Thank you.
