Patient Review 2:

What an incredible difference Dr. Kravitz has made in my childrens smiles! He has transformed not only their appearance, but their self confidenceand I couldnt be happier. My children were previously treated by 2 orthodontists at a different practice, both of whom were straightening the teeth but not addressing their fundamental, underlying problem of an overbite and overjet. Dr Kravitz skillfully corrected the underlying issues with the aid of an appliance and braces. He did so quickly, artfully and professionally.

Dr Kravitz is not only efficient and effective, but his enthusiasm and passion for the field of orthodontics is absolutely contagious. He took an active interest in my children and our family. His ability to relate to the kids made them more willing and responsive to the treatment and actually made our visits fun.

Dr. Kravitz demonstrates a knowledge, skill and professionalism Ive not seen in previous practices. He consistently followed-up with me to ensure I was aware of our progress and as my oldest child neared completion, emailed me the before and after pictures and the transformation was absolutely extraordinary! I firmly believe my children couldnt get better care anywhere in the DC-Metropolitan area.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kravitz: 2 years.

We had a very good experience with Dr. Kravitz. Dr. Kravtiz saw us after-hours, drove in from Maryland on one occasion, and did whatever was needed to make sure Gillian was comfortable. He seems to really enjoy his job and thus makes going to the orthodontist a pleasure, not a chore. The appointments were quick and Gillian was always back into school soon thereafter. I have two younger daughters, both of whom will have orthodontics done with Dr. Kravitz. Gillian's smile looks great! We were very happy and pleased with the entire experience.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kravitz: approximately 12 months.

Patient Review 4:

At age 69 my general dentist recommended correction of unusual movement of some of my teeth. Based on great experience by a granddaughter with Dr. Kravitz, I sought his evaluation and had upper and lower braces put in place. My experience has been that Dr. Kravitz provides top quality care, has a very high concern for patient comfort, is supported by a great staff, offers flexible appointments, is always available for extra consultations, check-ups, or adjustments, and provides all of this at a reasonable price. After 10 months, my braces were removed and realigned, straight teeth emerged - including correction of a difficult molar that was leaning over and affecting my bite. I can now chew food more comfortably, am not biting the inside of my cheeks, and am happy to flash a big smile for everyone! I am wearing a post-brace retainer for a period of time to complete the stabilization of the realigned teeth and am enjoying my "new" mouth! Thank you, Dr. K!

Treatment Length with Dr. Kravitz: 10 montths.

Patient Review 5:

I had the best orthodontic/dental experience in my life with Dr. Kravitz and his team. Dr. Kravitzs knowledge, skill, professionalism and level of caring is not to be surpassed and very rarely equaled.

The receptionists at the front desk were always very friendly, courteous and greeted me by name. The orthodontic technicians were very knowledgeable , skilled and courteous. All treatments were comfortable and performed with no pain.

Dr. Kravitz was available, incredibly, every time I had a question or concern. In todays world, where do you find a doctor willing to return your calls personally him/herself? This is very rare indeed!

Without question Dr. Kravitz and his team match their caring, friendly touch with tremendous skill and knowledge.

Ultimately, Dr. Kravitz achieved my goals and vision for my teeth: optimal aesthetics and function. He and his team did so in a very caring, friendly, pain-free, efficient, and completely convenient manner.

I also am a healthcare provider. I can honestly say that the level of care and service I received from Dr. Kravitz and his team is unrivalled. He has become a model for my own practice. His team is truly a gem in our healthcare system.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kravitz: 11 months.

Patient Review 6:

Dr. Kravitz is a highly professional, skilled orthodontist with an extensive knowledge of TMJ. During my sons visit in 2008 Dr. K asked if I was feeling ok to which I replied that I had another migraine and my jaw was throbbing. He conducted an on-the-spot exam of my jaw found both scary and astounding reasons for my jaw pain/headaches. His diagnosis was that unless I got my jaw fixed, I was looking at a lifetime of extreme pain. Dr. Ks treatment plan addressed the pain, bone deterioration, muscle damage, and long-term neck/shoulder pain that had been exasperated by years of unmanaged TMJ. Dr. K radically changed my life by taking me from a life of constant pain to a life free of the uncertainty that comes from being a migraine sufferer. He does not just attach braces with his fingers crossed that all will end well. He addresses the root of the problem and then develops a plan, using his extensive resources. His energy with patients challenges them to follow the treatment plan to its full extent. His personalization of each patient extends to knowledge of their lifestyle so he can incorporate it into a lifelong solution. My sons and I are eternally grateful for the orthodontic care and attention provided by Dr. Kravitz.

Dr. Kravitz and his team are the best! My son started phase 2 with Dr. Kravitz and I am VERY pleased with the progress. Dr. Kravitz and his staff truly care for their patients! The moment you walk through the door you are greeted with a smile. Dr. Kravitz is very thorough and is glad to explain what he is doing and why.... and not just to the parent! He explains things to the kids which shows how much he values them. We recently had to move (military orders!) and we will miss Dr. Kravitz and his team VERY much. Should I hear of anyone moving to the MD area and will need an orthodontist I will most certainly recommend Dr. Kravitz!

Patient Review 8:

My 9 year old son had a very extreme overbite and was treated by Dr. Kravitz with braces. Dr. Kravitz was always available to us for any problem. We even called him once while we were on vacation and spoke to him personally. He is the friendliest person and takes his time to explain everything. After only 10 months, I am so happy with my son's appearance. He is complimented almost daily on his smile now and I have seen a noticeable increase in his confidence. My experience at Kravitz Orthodontists was amazing and I highly recommend this office.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kravitz: 10 months.

Patient Review 9:

Dr. Kravitz is the best orthodontist I have ever had. In the past I have had three. I have never seen a doctor so enthused and passionate about their work.

I had braces when I was in high school and did not wear my retainer. I went to Dr. Kravitz last May because I had some crowding of my lower teeth and a hereditary space in between my two front teeth forming. Fortunately I had a choice of what kind of treatment (braces) I wanted. Some patients cannot get certain kinds of braces due to what needs to be corrected. Dr. Kravitz also educates his patients!

I chose the Ibraces. I did not have this option in high school. Similar to the outer wire braces, they take time to get used to. A major difference was when I went for follow-up visits to tighten the outer wire braces I was in a lot of pain following the appointment. With the Ibraces I did not experience this. It was nice to tell people I had braces and they would not believe me; I would have to show them.

Dr. Kravitz said I would have to wear my braces for about 18 months. I saw improvement in one month and was delighted when my Ibraces were off in SEVEN MONTHS!

Treatment Length with Dr. Kravitz: two years.

Patient Review 10:

Dr. Kravitz has made my experience with braces wonderful. As an adult I had regretted not getting braces when I was younger, feeling a bit self conscious about my slight open bite. Though people have always told me I had a nice smile, I wanted a better one. After the initial consultation with Dr. Kravitz and his great recommendations of what treatment plan I should take, I was hooked on the idea of having a perfect smile. The ten months of my treatment with braces (ceramics on the bottom and iBraces on the top) was really a worth while experience: Dr. Kravitz and his staff was always welcoming when I came in for my monthly treatment appointments and always accomodating when I dropped in with a problem such as a loose bracket or if I was in need of more wax. Over all I couldn't be any happier with the way my smile looks thanks to Dr. Kravitz and the iBraces.

WOW, it's been 3 1/2 months since my debond and I'm still in awe! Dr. Kravitz and his crew were and continue to be wonderful. I was a bit hestitant to be a professional adult with braces but I'm so thankful that I took the leap of faith. It was a fairly smooth ride and my treatment was completed 3 months earlier than I expected...double WOW! My Hollywood and Kodak smile has definitely boosted my confidence, not to mention its admired by many. It's an investment that I made in myself that I have no regrets about. Thank you Dr. Kravitz for giving me a reason to SMILE :-)

I've also placed my 2 children in Dr. K's care. We, all became "metal mouths" within 2 weeks of one another. My daughter was in and out in 14 months, right on target as she was the reason for the initial visit. She, too has a beautiful set of whites. My son, is still undergoing treatment; however we can already see a wonderful transformation.

Dr. Kravitz and his entire staff are first rate! The entire experience has been so positive, beginning from the first moment our family walked into the office. Dr.Kravitz takes the time to discuss every step of treatment. Dr. Kravitz is not like many, because he truly cares. He has called after hours to see how our daughter was doing. We cannot say enough about how happy we are with this practice.

Dr Kravitz is one of the most wonderful doctors that I have ever come in contact with. I presented as a more challenging case, with a cant to my smile and crowding. Most doctors would perform other painful and long treatments to fix my smile, however Dr Kravitz was able to fix my smile with traditional orthodontics. He was always accomodating and was very personable, from the very beginning there was no doubt that I was in the most capable hands for the treatment I needed to get a perfect smile.

Now that my treatment is finished, I cannot stop smiling. What a difference, and I never knew the impact that a beautiful smile could have on my life. I am truly thankful for the new confidence he has given me.

Dr. Kravitz is an outstanding orthodontist and very caring. I first went to his office 10 months ago and he informed me that I needed braces. Hearing that at 24yrs old and graduating from graduate school in 10 months, I didn't want to walk on stage with braces in my mouth. He told me, that it wasn't a bad thing and that he would try his best to get them off by then. He worked with me and made me feel like he really cared and made sure the process was going well. If I ever had any questiond he was right there to answer them. His team is wonderful they take good care of you and are there whenever you need there assistants as well. Dr. Kravitz works closely with his patients and with many other dentist you don't find that so I was happy for that. Well 10 months later I got them off and on Sat May 17,2008 I walked across the stage with a perfect smile, I couldn't close my mouth and recieved several compliments from my peers. We need orthodontists like him that care about there patients and want to see what they came to his office for a better smile.

Dr. Kravitz took over my treatment, as well as that of my 15 year old son just about 10 months ago. He is WONDERFUL. He is very knowledgeable, personable, efficient, effective, and compassionate about his care. He is very thorough and takes the time to explain his proposed treatment in detail.

He now sees my 11 year old son and it's no different. He has built a rapport with all of us and really understands our individual needs. I was a more difficult case, not standard braces, so I was apprehensive about switching to a new Orthodontist mid-course. I was quickly put at ease. Dr. Kravitz took the time to study my case, talk with me about options, and relieving any anxious feelings I had. My orthodontia is complete, after 2 years, and I begin my restorative dentistry in 2 weeks. I am so happy with how my teeth look and can't wait to complete the process. My 15 year old got his braces off today and he and I are SOOO pleased with how his teeth look. I would recommend Dr. Kravitz in a heartbeat. He is kind, conscientious and thorough - you couldn't ask for better treatment.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kravitz: 10 months.

Dr. Kravitz is by far one of the most talented and caring doctors I've ever had the experience working with. I brought my 16 year old son for a second opinion and he was able to immediately propose treatment to appropriately fix my son's bite. My son was in braces (3) years prior and he was able to identify issues that were never addressed by my previous orthodontist. Brad has been in treatment with Dr. Kravitz for about 6 months and his bite has changed amazingly. He developed a treatment plan specifically designed for Brad's needs which has delivered optimal results. Dr. Kravitz is passionate, talented, dedicated and committed to his patients. He thinks outside the box in regards to his approach to treatment and delivers results in an efficient and compassionate manner. I truly believe he is one of the best in the orthodontic field and would refer him to anyone seeking cousel on orthodontic care!

Dr. Neal Kravitz is a great orthodontist! Before coming to him, I had been seen by two or three other orthodontists and I had left very unsatisfied. However, when I met Dr. Kravitz, I was thrilled to hear the ideas that he had about improving my teeth for the oral surgery I was planning on having. He listened to my concerns and gave me everything I needed whenever I visited. He knew exactly what wires I needed during every appointment and did not hesitate to use the best material to get the job done perfectly. Throughout the seventeen months of my treatment, he worked his hardest to make sure that my teeth were perfect. His enthusiasm and hard work left a great impression on me and my family. We can never thank him enough for the work he has done. I have a great smile now, and I owe it all to Dr. Kravitz.

Treatment Length with Dr. Kravitz: 17 months.

Patient Review 21:

When I think about my experience at the Orthodontics department at UIC, nothing but good thoughts come to my mind. I was a bit of a late bloomer and decided to get braces at a later stage in my life. I have to admit I was a bit nervous, but I was lucky enough to be paired up with Dr. Kravitz, who by far is one of the best doctors I have had in my lifetime.

Dr. Kravitz is a very intelligent man, and a talented orthodontist who proves this by the amazing job he has done for me. He has a great bed-side manner and has the ability to make you feel as comfortable as possible, especially when faced with a procedure that may seem very invasive. He goes beyond the call of duty and calls you on his own time to check in on you. With my specific case, one of my main concerns was that I would have had to have surgery to correct my teeth. Dr. Kravitz showed a lot of confidence by suggesting an alternate treatment. He worked hard to try and follow my wishes, and through some time and hard work on his part, we were able to avoid the surgery altogether. By doing this, he saved me money, the fear of surgery and undue recovery time.

Dr. Kravitz has great passion for his work, and this is demonstrated through the energy and commitment that he brings to each procedure. He took the time to explain each step of the procedure and therefore, I was more knowledgeable about the progress of my teeth. Dr. Kravitz is a perfectionist at what he does, and I wouldnt have had it any other way. He did such a great job with my case that we were even ahead of schedule by several months and I was able to get my braces of sooner that I thought. My teeth looked great, and I couldnt have been more pleased with the results! He is excellent at what he does, and I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who is looking for great service. I wish him and the program much success.
