Stories from patients Like You
Briauna S.
"My daughter received braces for the first time and she was terrified. However, once she met Dr. Ghowsi all of her fears went away. He's so funny, caring, & gentle with all of his patients but he's also taken his time to create a bond and get to know them. It's not just another appointment with him it's like talking to family honestly lol nothing but laughs during her appointments."
Eve M.
"My son and daughter are patients of Dr. Ghowsi at Happy Braces. Our experience with him has been exceptional. He is not only highly skilled but very friendly and attentive to our concerns, especially those of our son and daughter. He takes the time to listen to their questions and never makes them feel rushed or dismissed during appointments. We are truly grateful to have found such a caring and dedicated orthodontist, and we highly recommend him to anyone in need of orthodontic care."

"We’ve had such a great experience at Children's Happy Teeth. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. Everyone is so friendly and attentive—they always greet us with a smile and are quick to answer any questions we have. Our orthodontist is incredibly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the entire treatment plan and made sure we understood every step of the process. My child feels at ease during every visit, which means a lot to us as parents."

"We were here from out of town, and our son was in pain from a wire- everyone in this office was so welcoming and kind, and they generously took care of our son’s issue. We were so grateful!"
jENNIFER a.
"The staff was Awesome! Dr. Santos and Johnny were great! My daughter is 7 and felt comfortable for her consultation. Was thankful for being informed regarding the phases of treatments, price and risk all were explained. The only thing I would complain was the waiting time but was informed they are short staffed. Johnny made up for it and is a great addition to the office he was multi-tasking the back office, receiving payments, booking appointments. So far we are well pleased with the services rendered."
