PATIENT REVIEWS

Three of my kids have been patients of Dr. Tahir and really enjoyed going to his office. My youngest daughter will probably end up going also once she’s ready. They loved the friendliness of the staff and the welcoming environment. While waiting, we can enjoy a movie or video games. How wonderful is that! One can also enjoy a cup of coffee or tea while we wait. Definitely a comfortable place.

Dr. Tahir did so much for me to transform my smile, not only for me, but also my sister. I had gapped teeth and teeth that wouldn’t have came down without his help and knowledge. He’s not only my orthodontist but also friend. Always checks in with how I am doing. Dr. Tahir is the most caring doctor of any kind that I have worked with. Even after braces he still does everything he can to help continue to have an amazing smile the rest of my lif

Dr. Tahir is by far one of the most amazing orthodontists around. I have been going to him since high school for a total of 12 years. I currently live over an hour away and still drive to him for any routine or check ups in regards to my retainer. He has become a friend and always remembers his patients which is unlike so many professionals these days with high volume of clientele. I had by far one of the worse smiles back in 2003, and today I feel confident and beautiful and it’s all thanks to this guy right here. He takes the time to make sure it’s perfect and you can be confident when you smile. If your looking for a orthodontist look no further both locations I have visited personally and are wonderful! Thank you Dr. Tahir your definitely a smile expert who has my vote!!!

Dr. Tahir and his staff are nothing short of amazing! Their expertise, professionalism and great hospitality towards clients make the experience unique and painless. My braces were removed nearly 8 years ago and my teeth are just as perfect as they were the day my braces came off. I love my smile! For those people who are afraid of taking the next step to perfecting their smile, don’t be!

If there’s one thing I get a lot of compliments on, it’s my STRAIGHT TEETH and my smile – and I owe my awesome grin entirely to Dr.Tahir&his great staff. I had to come in here for regular visits for sometime now I am currently still with braces but, the change is quite amazing! (I definitely remember coming here as far back as middle school) as we corrected a poor bite and uneven teeth. This whole process was worth it. These guys definitely are doing an amazing job with my teeth! As far back as I can remember the staff here have been awesome, friendly, and worked as quickly as they could to help everyone who’s come in for an appointment. And that great staff is super important, because without them getting your teeth poked and prodded and painfully adjusted over time could have been an extremely miserable experience. I can definitely say I never dreaded going to an appointment, so seriously, kudos to the staff! Also, kudos to them for dealing with me, because even if I never dreaded an appointment I definitely came in a couple times feeling super cranky because of the pain involved with some treatments. I’m sure little me acted badly at one point or another, but they don’t hold it against me. 🙂 They don’t slack on maintaining their lobby and building, either. Honestly the place looks as pristine as it did the first time I walked in the office. Their office is bright, clean, and filled with a mix of cartoons, pictures and beautiful origami. So seriously, if anyone deserves 5 stars, it’s this place. They work hard and every fellow patient I’ve met has great results to show for it. I was recommended here and now want to recommend it to everyone else. Thanks for the great smile, guys!

I just had my braces removed about 8 months ago and I am beyond happy with my results. I did a lot of research before I got my braces put on and shopped around for the best prices and the best service. I did consultations at various places and I could tell that some of the places just wanted me to get in-and-out and could care less if I signed up or not. I was referred to Dr. Tahir by a friend. My consultation at Dr. Tahir’s was not rushed, they explained my various options and I was told the truth. All other places had suggested invisalign [since being an adult with braces is not the most fun] but Dr. Tahir advised me that it was not the best option for me [my teeth were REALLY bad]. I ended up getting clear braces and I loved them! They did not yellow and Dr. Tahir was very flexible with my appointments since at the time I was still in college and out of state. His staff is great and I love going in and getting a chance to watch the movies they screen throughout the office. They have 2 offices, Oak Lawn & Berwyn, I have been to both and have found the same high-quality service in both [although aesthetically I prefer the Berwyn office]. They have a lot of clients but the service is fast and I have never had to wait more than 15 minutes to be seen by someone. Dr. Tahir is a perfectionist and trust me when I say that you want this in an ortho! [you are paying quite a bit of money after all!!] My teeth are perfect and he really took his time to make sure I was happy with my smile. Bonus: I got a free ipod for signing up and when my braces were removed I got a nice bottle of wine to celebrate!!

As a former patient I can truly say my experiences with Dr. Tahir have always been above standard. After a little over a year of having my braces I fell in love with my smile and my confidence in smiling skyrocketed. Dr. Tahir and his staff are always very welcoming and very patient and will work with you to find the best solutions for your smiling needs 🙂

I went to Dr.Tahir with major concerns about my bottom teeth being extremely separated with gaps. I originally just wanted braces on the bottom but he educated me on not only did I have major spaces between my teeth I had an under bite. So, the best thing to do was to get full braces top and bottom. Dr. Tahir and his staff are the best. They catered to all of my needs, times when my teeth were bothersome from the braces and I would have to come in on a emergency visit, they will contact me immediately and also call me back later to check on me after. I have visited both facilities during my braces journey and I can honestly say they are the best. Although, I know longer have my braces and I love my straight teeth and smile. Dr Tahir and staff still meet my needs. Especially, when I need an appointment just to make sure my teeth are still on point. 🙂 Thanks Guys!

I Love My Braces!!! Dr. Tahir is awesome and his office is an amazing place. I have yet to go to a dental office which has so much energy and people who will help you get the best for you. What I most liked about Dr.Tahir is his attention to detail (I guess his artistic and origami paperfolding stuff) helps him out in this way — I call him the “orthodontic tooth artist”. He gave me a smile I could never dream off. He loves his work and you can tell just by meeting him one time. The staff is just as amazing as he is. I would absolutely recommend this place if you need braces or invisalign. Thanks. 🙂

I did a ton of research before starting my braces. My search ended when I found Dr. Tahir’s office in Berwyn. The experience could not have been better. I felt comfortable with him and his staff. He answered my questions fully and his office is amazing, very colorful and modern. I love the painted stuff on the wall and pictures of so many people who are doing braces now or he treated in the past. He truly cares about the experience people have in his office and it shows. I cannot recommend him enough! And his staff is super friendly. They even followed up after our appointment to make sure all of our questions had been answered. Wow. Now, I am in Braces and will soon have a beautiful smile. And maybe end up on the “Hollywood” wall of smiles. Thank you Dr. Tahir and smile team.

Growing up I always hated my teeth, they were very crooked and noticeable but that never stopped me from smiling. Since I was a child I always wanted braces because although I loved to smile, my smile was far from perfect. I began my journey to a perfect smile during college. I was extremely nervous because I knew braces would be painful and because I felt too old to have braces. When I met Dr. Tahir and his team all my nervousness and worries went away completely. From the lady at the front desk to the person holding the suction utensil, they were all so welcoming and friendly. Now that I’m braces free I couldn’t be happier. I’m extremely grateful for Dr. Tahir for being a perfectionist and never giving up until I had the perfect smile! If I could go back in time I would still make the same decision in choosing Dr. Tahir and his team at Coolbraces!

I had it rough growing up. Glasses and fkd up teeth? Wow, it was rough. As an adult, I looked into getting braces. My bite was so bad that I was told I needed to have my jaw broken and realigned first. Seriously?!?! Then I found Dr Tahir. He reassured me that he could give me a great smile without the pain of having my jaw broken, cuz I mean, who would voluntarily do that?!?! I put my trust in Dr Tahir’s hands and am so happy I did. Getting braces was a life changing experience for me. Dr Tahir and his staff are great! I went to Dr Tahir for my braces several years ago and was so happy with the service and results that once my daughter was due for her braces, we went straight to Dr Tahir. They offer payment plans, have a location in Berwyn and Oak Lawn, and play movies while you wait. Oh and have a coffee machine. Plus, they display pictures of their patients showing off their smile. What a great way to show off their work.

I still get compliments about how nice my teeth (and jaw line )are by dentists and strangers. I got my braces at the age of 12 and now I am 28. I probably should go back there when I have my baby. I know that pregnancy can do some crazy stuff to the mouth. Dr. Tahir still remembered me the last time I came in when my permanent retainer broke (maybe 4 years ago). He even asked about my family by name. He probably wouldn’t recognize my married name but remember my mouth and face. HA! He is very personable and friendly. He is a perfectionist but I wouldn’t have it any other way when it comes to my teeth and jaw line.

Taking a moment today to give a special shout out to my personal orthodontist and more importantly friend Dr. Ejaz Tahir! I’ve known Dr. Tahir and his staff over at Cool Braces for over five years now & there isn’t a day or moment that passes where he doesn’t exceed expectations for ALL of his patients. Dr. Tahir is a firm believer that we’re all born with gifts and it’s our job and responsibility to ensure that we use those gifts to help others. I can’t thank you enough Ejaz for always going above and beyond to make sure my teeth are the brightest in the room, being an inspiration and role model for those who have had the pleasure of meeting you, and for giving myself & so many others the confidence to always wear our biggest smile!

I had a terrible overbite and gap in my teeth and Dr. Tahir and his team were diligent in helping me achieve a better smile! The customer service is beyond excellent and thanks to Dr. Tahir, I wasn’t required to wear a headgear. Definitely recommend!

I have had great experiences during my appointments with Dr. Tahir and his staff. The environment in his office is very positive and everyone there is very passionate about their work. I put my trust into Dr. Tahir and he fulfilled all my expectations. I am super happy with his work and I highly recommend Dr. Tahir and his staff!

Dr Tahir and his staff have been a blessing for me and many who struggle with crooked teeth. My treatment was a long one, I’m sure I’ve been one of his more complex cases considering how bad my teeth where. His staff and himself always treat me very well and have a very pleasant attitude. Their attention to detail is great and now my teeth are nice and straight, witch has boosted my confidence and pronunciation tremendously. Im very happy with my experience, can’t imagine having gone with anybody else. Thank you Dr. Tahir and staff!

Dr. Tahir and his office are very friendly, attentive, and always serve with patients’ best interest in mind. As a college student, scheduling appointments can be tricky for me, but Dr. Tahir and staff are very understanding and accommodating. Could not have picked a better place to fix my smile!

He was the only one who would take my case and he had done an amazing job on my teeth. It’s a little pricy for the Invisalign but it’s worth it. I never have to wait too long for any of my appointments. The staff as well are all very nice and they do a great job at explaining the process. They also speak Spanish which is a bonus. Highly recommend it!

I came into Dr. Tahir’s office with an overbite and teeth that were not lined up. Dr. Tahir and his staff took great care of me from the time I walked in until the time i left. To pass time he has kid friendly movies in the waiting area, a teeth brushing station that is available before being attended to and always helps his fellow orthodontist if they need confirmation on any wire or bracket changes. Dr. Tahir kept me up to date on all of my appointments and what to expect next and always made sure all my orthodontic needed were taken care of before leaving his office. Thank you Dr. Tahir and staff!

Dr Tahir and the team made my daughter’s visits amazingly seamless and efficient. Sabrina can be nervous and very shy. I loved how they brought out my daughters confidence, by always chatting with her remembering conversations from the last visit (what?? How can they remember all that). Sabrina became a natural conversation starter with strangers that became friends. So thank you Dr. Tahir and the team for bringing out Sabrina natural confidence both by treating her like a person and by giving her perfect straight teeth!

I definitely recommend this place to everyone who is looking to straighten their teeth! Very patient friendly office and staff! They make you feel comfortable with all of the amenities in the office such as FREE game machines, complimentary coffee, an a huge screen tv that plays all of the new released movies! You don’t even feel like you’re at a doctors office! Dr. Tahir and staff have done a great job on my teeth. Their work has made my smile flawless and I’ve gotten sooo many compliments on my smile. It has really boosted my confidence 100%. All around dr Tahir and team are excellent and I always recommend this office to anyone. It’s definitely worth the money and time. They make you feel like family that’s for sure. I have been out of braces for 8 years now and they are still apart of my life! Any concerns I have they are still willing to help. Costumer service is right on point! The most friendliest office I’ve been to, that’s for sure!

Dr. Tahir has taken a unique perspective to orthodontistry. For a fact I’ve visited another two offices and it was apparent that they did not take my questions into consideration, they made me feel as if my questions were irrelevant and saw me as money walking through the door; not the place to take my hard earned money. Immediately walking into Dr.Tahir’s office I was greeted with warmth by the front desk. I met with Dr.Tahir and he gave me a timeline and description of how the process would look and take. The staff was friendly and professional, I knew I was at the right spot then and there. Dr.Tahir was friendly, professional, and creative with every visit. He took the time to see me and every other patient to craft a unique smile with every person he saw. Dr.Tahir is by far the most attentive orthodontist I have seen. I Highly recommend Dr.Tahir to anyone looking to receive an awesome smile.

Coming here was probably the best choice I’ve ever made for not only my smile but my confidence. Dr. Tahir was nothing but informative and caring about any questions or concerns I had about treatments. The staff were very welcoming and the vicinity was super clean and maintained. I would think anyone that cares about their smile would visit his office and I’m pretty confident you will leave extremely satisfied. I’m a former patient and I have nothing but the best things to say about Dr. Tahir and his work. A+

Dr.tahir is the most passionate person I know especially when it come to his career. I’ve known him for only a few years but it feels much longer. I love what he did with me and my daughter teeth. I’ve recommended several friends and they all love him. 5 stars aren’t enough to rate his work or professionalism..

Who wouldn’t want to be beautiful or handsome? Who wouldn’t want to feel loved? Were you ever that person? Well I was! I always dreamed of being that “Perfect little Princess” or just the most prettiest girl in the school. Sometimes it’s not about how you look it’s about how you feel. Self-esteem is all that matters! If you don’t believe your the most prettiest or most handsome person in the world, then who will? Well Dr. Tahir! He has to be the most educated, loving, caring and funniest person in Orthodontist History. Yes I said it! He is wonderful! He makes you feel like your the most beautiful person in the world! Not only that, he makes you see it to believe it! Trust me you will see that not only you feel beautiful and your self-esteem is way above average, but it is actually true. He’s like a Fairy God Father. The service is wonderful! NO NEEDLES! NO PAIN! NO TEARS! NO ANGER! Just BIG BIGGER AND BETTER SMILES with bright shiny white teeth. Almost like diamonds in the sky! Truly, he is amazing the staff and service is wonderful. I can’t get enough of watching “Despicable Me” or other great movies while getting fabulous! Hands down he is the BEST I mean absolutely the BEST Orthodontist in Berwyn & the Chicago area! Looking for a place to make your teeth happy? Visit Coolbraces.com and your life will be more amazing than ever! Trust me! Thank You Dr. Tahir for making me the most prettiest woman in the world!

I was nervous about getting my braces and Dr.Tahir and his staff were very kind and friendly and put me at ease. I didn’t think I would ever look forward to getting my teeth fixed but I have seen so much nice change in a short period, I am hardly nervous. Of course, the movies playing and lots of energy helps to keep me distracted. Everyone is buzzing around and getting things done and not just sitting around. All in all, I am very satisfied and would recommend this office to other for braces or invisaglgn.

I went to several orthodontists to see who I would go for my braces. I had heard of Dr.Tahir from several of my friends and dentists in the area. I’ve heard he is ‘the artist’ with teeth and braces and does very good work. As soon as I walked into the office, my experience compared to other dentist offices was completely opposite. It was a happy place with lots of people, flat screen tv’s, coffee and smiling faces. They have very friendly people working there who will help you with signing in and giving a tour of the office. I found Dr.Tahir very easy going, not stuffy like I found some other places I went to. I got to meet him even though he was very busy. Dr. Tahir was clear on what needed to be done and then his assitant worked out a payment plan that fit my budget. I’m glad I met Dr. Tahir and my teeth and smile are looking really great. And I can catch up on some great movies too. Great job everyone.

Dr. Tahir or as he likes to refer himself as “Uncle EJ” along with his staff are very friendly and approachable. I came in for an x-ray and with his well trained staff, they made the process very easy and fast. After getting the x-ray, Dr. Tahir kindly informed me that I had a wisdom tooth growing and that it needed to be removed by a specialist as soon as possible. With that being said I highly recommend seeing Dr. Tahir due to how efficient and quick he makes the process, along with how informative Dr. Tahir is when it comes to an issue you may be having.

If there’s one thing I get a lot of compliments on, it’s my STRAIGHT TEETH and my smile – and I owe my awesome grin entirely to Dr.Tahir&his great staff. I had to come in here for regular visits for sometime now I am currently still with braces but, the change is quite amazing!

Dr. Tahir is a great orthodontist. Dr. Tahir and his staff are fun, energetic, professional and friendly. I have been very happy with the service and attention they have provided, from the original consultation to putting on and adjusting the braces, and ultimately to their removal. Their prices were very reasonable and they offered me a payment plan that I could not get elsewhere. Parking is not a problem either. What’s more, the end result is fantastic: my teeth are straight and so much easier to keep clean, all leading to a healthier and happier smile

Straight Beautiful Teeth!!! I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Tahir at his Berwyn office!! The standard of care is excellent. In addition, all of the staff are warm, friendly and caring! They do their best to take care of you! I am currently nearing the end of my treatment with braces and I’m simply amazed and delighted with the results. Dr. Tahir is a wonderful doctor and I trust his expert opinion 100%. I would have no problems recommending any of my friends to Dr. Tahir. By far, the best dental/orthodontist practice I have ever visited!!!

I went to Dr. Tahir 3 years ago for a consultation after he was referred to me by a close friend. Before the initial visit, I didnt know what to expect. However, after meeting with him I could sense his passion and care about his work and his patients. I still however wanted to do my due diligence and shop around for other opinions and prices.. I went to several other dentists and none of them gave me the details of my treatment plan like he did. A year went by and I went back to him again for a second visit.. Dr Tahir remembered me from the first visit a year before and that truly meant alot to me. But I was still indecisive not knowing how I would pay for the treatment and also not wanting to take on any additional debt. Another year went by before I went back to see him for a third time.. This time He came into the room and said to me it is a time sensitive issue and expressed his concerns about my reluctance; which I explained. Dr. Tahir was able to tailor a plan that worked with my financial needs and so we started the treatment. A year later he allowed me to share my smile with everyone.. I was once self-conscious and insecure about my smile but now it’s my best feature.. Dr tahir turned my biggest insecurity into to my best feature since I loved smilling.. My only regret is not getting it done 3 years ago…�

Dr. Tahir and his team did an amazing job on my smile. I remember growing up taking pictures from kindegarten through college I would never show my teeth. I was so embarrassed with my smile until one day I decided to go on line and find an orthodontist. I found Dr. Tahir and decided to make an appointment.  I was nervous to show him my teeth but I knew it was time to obtain that beautiful smile i have always wanted. Dr. Tahir and his team are amazing they gave me that smile I have always wanted. I had my braces for about 4 years and finally the braces came off a week before my wedding. I was amazed and truly happy with my results. I see my wedding pictures and I say to myself thank god I found  Dr. Tahir and his team. They did wonders. It was truly the best thing I have ever done. I love my smile. Thank You Dr. Tahir:. sincerely Veronica

I’m surprised this place doesn’t have many reviews. It’s like 50 people in the waiting room at all times so I would think this place would have millions of reviews. For being as busy as this practice is, the dentist is really cool. He is very knowledgeable, truthful and has bed manners. He has updated equipment and the front desk staff are good too. All in all the dentist does a great job and knows what he is doing.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
