About Houston Orthodontic Specialists

Phase-1 treatment for kids as young as 8, paired with no-interest financing plans, comes up often, alongside Dr. Vladimir Tabakman's detailed consultations.

Reviews at Houston Orthodontic Specialists frequently mention early treatment starting around age 8, with families noting developing bite issues caught and addressed well before adolescence. Financing comes up often too, including no-credit-check payment plans and multi-family discounts that cost-conscious families appreciate. Staff are praised for making appointments enjoyable for kids, and Dr. Vladimir Tabakman is noted for explaining treatment plans and monitoring nervous patients before starting care. A smaller number of reviews describe rushed consultations or extraction recommendations that led to regret, and a few mention unexpected charges near the end of treatment.

We had a great experience during my daughter’s first orthodontic evaluation. The staff was friendly and professional, and the orthodontist was very knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly. They made my daughter feel comfortable throughout the visit, and we left feeling well informed about the next steps. Highly recommend this office!

Working with Kandice, is working with the best!! When I go in for my appointment and Kandice calls me back, I know that once I’m in the chair, I can trust that she will take care of me and my teeth! Kandice always makes the hardest part of the job (adjustments) the smoothest part of the visit! Thank you Kandice for all that you do to keep us safe and comfortable!

I’ve had braces for around eight months now, and one thing that stands out is how detail-focused the orthodontist seems. They notice even tiny issues with wire positioning or tooth movement during appointments. Once they adjusted a bracket because something looked slightly off, even though I hadn’t noticed it myself. That attention to detail made me trust the process more. My jaw tension has also improved significantly since starting treatment here.
