I couldn’t be happier with my experience at Braces Place in Davis Square! 😁 I recently finished my treatment, and I absolutely love my new smile! Dr. Rizkallah and his entire team were amazing throughout the whole process. From my very first appointment until the day my treatment was completed, everyone was always so kind, welcoming, professional, and attentive. The results were definitely worth the wait, and I’m so grateful to Dr. Rizkallah and his wonderful team for giving me a smile I feel confident about. I highly recommend Braces Place to anyone looking for an amazing orthodontic experience! 🦷✨

I went to Dr. Mouhab after a bad experience at another office and wasn't sure what could realistically be fixed. From the first visit, it was clear he knew exactly what he was doing. He took the time to assess everything properly and explain what needed to be corrected in a way that made sense. What stood out most was how precise and intentional his work is. Nothing felt rushed or guessed. Every adjustment had a purpose, and the attention to detail really shows in the final result. The outcome looks natural and exactly how it should have been done the first time. I also appreciated how he handled the situation overall. I never felt dismissed and he never got tired of all my questions, which made a big difference given my prior experience. If you're dealing with corrective work or just want things done right the first time, I would absolutely recommend Dr. Mouhab.

I rarely leave reviews but had a horrible experience here with my daughter. Prior to making the appointment I verified whether my insurance would cover the consultation. Once we got there, they refused to bill my insurance for the X-rays (it would have been covered had they not imposed their way) because it is their strict policy to charge patients rather than bill insurance for X-rays. Then, we saw that several patients are tended to in one open room for their cleaning and adjustments. It felt like a room to care for cattle rather than a human health care space. Everyone’s mouths are open in one room- everyone is having their teeth cleaned next to strangers- absolutely no privacy. I understand for emergency situations, make shift health spaces like this one are appropriate and even a blessing but this place is ta Davis square - it’s strange to stuff people into an open space like that. If you like cooperative, transparent and private clinics this place is not for you!! We’ve lived in so many cities that the low standard of care here was so jarring that I’m taking the time to warn others.
