PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Massih is the best and kindest orthodontist I’ve ever seen. She really helped me feel better and a lot more confident about my smile. I had braces for a couple years but as soon as I got them off and saw the results, I was immensely happy with it. I knew I made the right decision in choosing her to help fix my extremely crooked teeth as soon as I met her and her staff. I definitely recommend her to everyone.

I recommend all of my family/friends to Dr. Massih. She’s an Invisalign Provider who’s extremely professional & genuine! She took her time to explain my options when it came to my treatment and top of that she has great payment options. Friendly environment ! Her entire staff is wonderful and polite. They always accommodate my appointments to my work schedule. 1 Pam Distaso Pam Distaso 1 review 3 years ago As a senior, I decided to invest in Invisalign clear braces for 3 reasons. In order of importance: 1. To make flossing closely-spaced teeth easier for aging hands 2. To keep teeth cleaner with fewer tight spots to catch food 3. To maximize functionality for anticipated 30-year need Bonus: Improved appearance I started a one-year program with a nearby orthodontist in August. I liked him a lot and tooth movement was progressing. In January, he notified his patients that he was selling his practice and moving from the area. After making the big decision to start treatment, I was confounded and uncertain about how to continue. He further advised that Dr. Karmen Massih had bought his business. Dr. Massih and I found ourselves working together, never having met each other … and I couldn’t be more pleased! At my first appointment, I found Dr. Massih and her staff to be professional, friendly, and helpful. A big “plus” for me, Dr. Massih has a nice sense of humor! Office is bright and sunny, parking has always been available, and wait time is minimal, if at all. I am delighted to continue treatment with someone who so patiently answers my ongoing questions and truly cares about my results. We will complete the Invisalign process in the next few months and I honestly can say I will miss working with Dr. Massih.

After hearing commercials about Smile Direct Club I decided to give them a try. My teeth weren’t exceptionally crooked so I thought this would be a good option for me. Boy was I wrong! After 6 months I ended up with a huge open bite that I never had before. I was at a loss in what to do! My dentist suggested I get a consultation for Invisalign so after interviewing a couple of orthodontists I decided to go with Dr. Massih. In less than a year she was able to get my bite back to normal and straighten my teeth beautifully with Invisalign! I am 66 years old and finally have the smile I have wanted all my life! Love Dr. Massih and her wonderful staff! Thank you!!

Dr. Massih, Lupe, and the team at Massih Orthodontist are amazing. I chose Dr. Massih based on an Invisalign word of mouth recommendation and can attest that she is the best. Every appointment runs on schedule, expectations are communicated in advance, and Dr. Massih is thorough and readily available to answer questions and address concerns. I enjoy every visit to her office and appreciate her expertise in the field, professionalism, as well as approachability. I initially postponed my visits during Covid but after talking through their precautions I completely trust they’re taking every measure to make sure everyone is safe. Dr. Massih really helps you feel and look like your best self!

Dr. Massih and her staff are the best. Very caring and kind, they are helpful and knowledgeable. Their ability to adapt during this difficult time of covid shows how dedicated they are to their patients. The office is a clean and relaxed atmosphere. If you need an excellent orthodontist you will find one in Dr. Massih.

I just got my braces off yesterday and let me tell you, Dr. Massih did an amazing job!! She was able to change my complicated case into an amazing smile I get to finally enjoy. 🙂 Her patience and quality of work act hand in hand along with her attention to detail and overall perfectionism. I’m beyond happy with the results and can’t recommend her enough to friends and family. Thank you sooo much Dr. Massih! You’ve changed my life and smile!!

5 stars is not enough of a rating for Dr. Massih and her staff. From the consultation to the day I got my Invisalign off has been nothing but perfect. She is very knowledgeable and professional in her line of work and I don’t think there is anyone like her in the area. She got me the perfect smile that I always wanted. Never had to wait to go in and her office was very clean. I don’t think I would trust anyone with my teeth other than Dr.Massih.

I have always wanted to get lip filler to have a more symmetrical look, but I was always too scared to try it until I met Dr. Massih. She was so sweet and calming the entire time. I’m very thankful I trusted her with my lips! My lips came out exactly how I imagined. Dr. Massih is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone interested in lip filler!

I knew as soon as my daughter’s baby teeth had come in that she was going to need braces. When she turned 7, her dentist told me I should go for a consultation, as her mouth was quite narrow. We were lucky enough to find our wonderful orthodontist, Dr. Karmen Massih. Upon examining my daughter’s mouth, teeth, and bite, she explained that my daughter needed phase 1 braces as her mouth was too narrow and her two front teeth too far apart, thus slowing the growth of her adult teeth. We needed to widen her mouth and create more room for her new teeth to finally grow in. Her mouth was a complete mess, but after about 20 months or so, she finally had her W-spring and braces removed…just in time for her 9th birthday. Her smile looks absolutely beautiful and she can’t stop showing it off! In those 20 months of visiting Dr. Massih at her practice, we were always greeting by her kind, helpful, and friendly staff. They always accommodated us by working around our schedules. If we ever had an emergency, we’d immediately get a call back from either the doctor or her staff and my daughter would be seen right away. In addition to my daughter’s braces, I decided to treat myself this year and get my teeth zoom whitened by Dr. Massih. Being a coffee addict and lover of pinot noirs, my teeth had progressively turned more yellow than white. I was a bit nervous as the procedure does take a little over an hour, but she explained each step and made sure that i was comfortable the whole time. Thanks to her, I left with a whiter smile without the pain and sensitivity that sometimes comes with zoom whitening. Dr. Massih is the absolute best. She is well spoken, smart, patient, kind, professional, and extremely knowledgable. She’s also great with children and talked my daughter through it all, always making sure to answer any questions and listen to our concerns. Plus, she has a gorgeous smile that is to die for and obviously takes good care of it- exactly what you want to see when you go see an orthodontist to fix your own! We love her and will definitely be going back to her when my daughter is a bit older and ready for phase 2 braces. I wouldn’t trust my family’s smiles to anyone else!

I just wanted to remove my permanent bottom wire retainer. I was a new patient, but they squeezed me into a busy day very generously and got everything in order. The staff is really nice and friendly, they definitely made the process more comfortable. I would recommend to any parent or person looking for a reliable place for braces near Glendale. Thanks Dr. Massih & Serenity.

Dr. Massih is a LIFE CHANGER, a GAME CHANGER.  SERIOUSLY, THE BEST of THE BEST of THE BEST ORTHODONTISTS in the Los Angeles area!!!!!!!!!!  I was SO afraid of dentists until she took me on as a patient during this crazy Covid-19 pandemic. Note: I have EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA sensitive teeth and have had crooked teeth since I was a little girl.  ):  I hardly show my teeth when I have to smile and feel stressed when I am asked to, like on my wedding day! :/  MASSIH has turned my smile into a BIG SMILE whenever I have a ortho appointment with her and her lovely staff members.  She and Lupe are SO kind, SO warm, SO genuine, SO meticulous, SO patient, SO caring, SO fun, SO gentle, and they practice STRICT CLEANLINESS and PERSONAL HYGIENE throughout your visit — 100%.  I had no worries or concerns when I first called and then entered MASSIH ORTHODONTICS in Glendale  — VERY CLEAN AND RELAXING SPACE!!!!!!!!  I LOVE Dr. Massih and her crew.  EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE.  I will go to Massih Orthodontics FROM NOW ON, and I have had to go to several different dentists… Positive note, I finally found THE RIGHT ONE, A PERFECT MATCH for my future perfect smile!  (:

I usually wouldn’t write a review about an orthodontist, but Dr. Massih’s office was so excellent, I felt they deserved yet another five star review. I just moved to LA and had wasted time at another office trying to get a replacement clear plastic retainer because mine had cracked. It was a semi-urgent matter, as I didn’t want my teeth to shift. I called Dr. Massih’s office and was scheduled for an appointment the next day (awesome!). The office is easy to find with a parking lot around back. I received a warm welcome and went through some short paperwork before being called back right at my appointment time (this is rare, right?!). Most orthodontist offices (sadly I’ve been to FIVE now) are pretty hectic, but Dr. Massih’s office felt peaceful and welcoming. Dr. Massih and her staff person were both super helpful and warm. They were flexible with my pick up time, and Dr. Massih was quick but detail-oriented checking on my retainer’s fit, trimming it a bit to make it fit more comfortably. Sometimes orthodontist offices are awkward for adults, but this one didn’t feel that way to me. I hope I won’t have to go back, seeing as how I’m done with my orthodontic treatment! But I would happily go back there if needed and highly recommend it.

I recommend all of my family/friends to Dr. Massih. She’s an Invisalign Provider who’s extremely professional & genuine! She took her time to explain my options when it came to my treatment and top of that she has great payment options. Friendly environment ! Her entire staff is wonderful and polite. They always accommodate my appointments to my work schedule.

Every zoom experience is NOT created the same. I did Zoom whitening years ago with another doctor. That other doc did not customize the zoom to my personal needs. He started me up on high and it was truly traumatic and painful. My recent experience with Dr. Massih was fantastic. She explained that there are different Zoom levels and found one that suited me perfectly.  No pain! Dr. Massih checked on me regularly to make sure I was comfortable and the results are SOOOO GOOOOOD! Thank u!

My son has special needs (Cerebral Palsy) and in a wheelchair.  While most dentists would not even give me an appointment for my son, Dr. Massih did not hesitate. My son had several bad experiences at other dentists so he was terrified.  She was gentle, kind and patience with him.  He needed Orthodontics’ work not just for cosmetic but also for improvement in his speech.  Because her kindness, my son now has beautiful teeth but most importantly his speech has greatly improved.  I highly recommend her for any patient and especially for Special Needs patients.

I had the most amazing experience with Dr. Massih and her staff from the very first encounter. From our first phone call, to my Invisalign consultation to my treatment process, this is truly the most caring and genuine orthodontist I’ve ever been to. This office is extremely clean, modern and professional. I love how they explain everything and answer all of your questions, while doing it with a smile. Dr. Massih is truly talented, highly attentive and skilled. I am very happy with the results, as well as the process. Everything was clearly explained and we were walked through every step of the way. Thank you Dr. Massih for being world class! I am already so incredibly happy with my smile

Dr. Massih is amazing! One side of my lip was naturally uneven and she was able to even them out along with my lower lips. I had previously been to two other people to try and even out my lips but they were not able to accomplish it. I honestly love my lips now! They are perfect and are finally even. They are how I wanted them to look like all along. I love them so much that I booked another follow up appointment with her within the next 6 months. I also completed my Invisalign with Dr. Massih and now my husband is too. She is truly talented in that not only can she fix your teeth but she can help you with your lips too! We love her and her staff and we highly recommend her.

Dr. Massih and her Treatment Coordinator, Cesia, provided such a spectacular experience at my consultation today! First of all, their office is stunning and so inviting. I was greeted warmly and it felt like a very personal experience, rather than a factory rolling out patients. Dr. Massih was by far the most thorough of all the orthodontists I’ve seen over the past few weeks and spent the most time with me to answer all of my many questions. Cesia was great in helping me find a payment plan that would work within my budget. I am so excited to start my Invisalign journey with them!

I just got my braces off today and for the past two and a half years Dr.Massih and her staff have been absolutely wonderful to me. The two years flew by so quick because they made everything so easy. Even through a pandemic Dr.Massih managed to make going to the orthodontist fun loll! Anyways, thank you Dr.Massih for my new smile i love it 🙂

I had been on my orthodontics journey for almost 5 yrs due to extractions, surgery and a wedding! Luckily, Dr. Massih did an amazing job throughout!! She was able to change my complicated case into an amazing smile I get to finally enjoy. 🙂 Her patience and quality of work act hand in hand along with her attention to detail and overall perfectionism. I’m beyond happy with the results and can’t recommend her enough to friends and family. Thank you sooo much Dr. Massih!

Dr. Massih is amazing! Most people have only seen one orthodontist in their life and have nothing to compare their experience with, but I have been fortunate enough to see more than one and can confirm that she is in the upper echelon of orthodontic care! She is super friendly and approachable and without a doubt, an expert in her field. I have never had to wait for my appointment. Her office is exceptionally clean. Her staff is not only competent they are friendly, respectful and consistent. There are no bad days here. I particularly want to emphasize Dr. Massih’s responsiveness to the COVID-19 pandemic. She is always ahead of the curve, adapting and exceeding public health requirements. I had no hesitation visiting her office. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Massih. She thoroughly explains the procedure, takes her time to answer your questions and concerns working within your needs. And to anyone considering services such as Smile Direct or unsupervised orthodontic treatment–there is no comparison when you have an expert by your side. She is worth every penny!

If you’re looking for braces or Invisalign treatment I HIGHLY recommend Massih Orthodontics! Dr. Massih specializes in oral aesthetic, so it just makes sense that she implemented facial enhancement treatments into her practice as well. Very exciting!! One stop shop. I’m half way into my in Invisalign treatment and so far, I’m very happy! They use tip of the sphere technology and it’s really cool to see how fast teeth shift when you wear it for 22 hours a day like instructed. Everyone has made me feel at ease and they have a lot of patience. Shout out to Lupe for keeping me in line with appointments and being so diligent. Pick Massih Orthodontics you won’t regret it!

I can’t praise Dr. Massih and her team enough, if there is 10 stars I would totally do that. I have always want to get my overbite fix so I went for many consultations and met with so many different doctors. Some were judging me by saying not nice things, some were telling me that only traditional braces will work on my case. Some were telling me that it will take a very long time to fix my teeth, and finally I came across Massih Orthodontics. I called them to make an appointment for consultation, it was the easiest process and they were able to fit me in within the same week. Once I walked in, I was welcomed by the staffs and Cesia was very professional to explain the process with me. Later on, Dr Massih came and checked on my teeth, we did the pano scan. Though my case is a little bit more complicated due to the impacted tooth and needed to extract a few teeth, other than that Dr. Massih was very confident and telling me that Invisalign will work on me, and it will take approx 2.5 years. I had such a huge relief because I wanted to work with someone who is positive, confident and able to make their patients feel comfortable. I had no doubt and decided to sign the paper work and move forward with the braces process. Cesia came back to explain the next step and payment etc… it was super easy and I felt so joyful when I left the office that day. Fast forward til today, I am on tray #17 and everything is wonderful! There is no pain or discomfort at all, i trust my doctor and highly recommend Dr. Massih! She is the best 🙂

I went to Dr. Massih about two years ago for a consultation. Out of all the previous orthodontists I had gone to she gave me the best price and explained the whole process very thoroughly. I had overcrowding and I was told by other orthodontists that I would have to get at least two teeth removed, but Dr. Massih assured me that it would be the last resort. I got my braces off about six months ago and my teeth look amazing. She did a phenomenal job and didn’t remove any teeth, which was my biggest fear. I had a wonderful experience with the entire process and the staff were always delightful to be around. I would highly recommend going to Dr. Massih!

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Massih for the last 2.5 years and she finally has a smile she is confident about! Dr. Massih is such a friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant person on a personal and professional level! Will definitely be back to see her if and when my youngest needs braces. Also, her office is clean and top notch, following all Covid protocols. Thank you so much!

Dr. Massih and her staff are the best! I finished my invisalign treatment yesterday and I am so ecstatic! I can’t stop smiling! My teeth came out perfect! Dr. Massih is extremely knowledgeable and professional especially with invisalign. The process was so smooth from beginning to end. I came to Dr. Massih from a previous orthodontist who unfortunately ruined my bottom teeth. Dr. Massih allowed me to have more than one consultation with her and took the time to discuss my options of how I can correct my teeth before my wedding day. She is very caring and authentic and provided an affordable payment plan for me. Every time I walk in, I am greeted by her and her staff who are always friendly and positive. I highly recommend Dr. Massih Orthodontics!

I came in for a consultation because it’s close to my school and I have nothing but GOOD things to say about this place! The staff is amazing and super friendly, beginning with the front desk to Dr. Massih herself (who is so sweet)! I’m usually a little nervous with new Dr’s but Dr. Massih made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. Overall, great experience! I will definitely be recommending my friends and family!

Dr. Massih and her assistants, Cesia and Anahit, are a team of wonderfully talented and smart young women. Before I found Massih Orthodontics I took my time shopping for the “perfect fit”. I went to about 7 or 8 different Orthodontists (most of them regular Dentists practicing as Orthos) before making a decision. There was something very different & open about the whole process that was unlike the sales pitches I had been hearing before. Dr. Massih is wonderful at communicating what to expect & what she plans to do. Without the pretentiousness of medical jargon, she explains what she does in ways you can easily understand. I wanted to not only create a beautiful smile but to enjoy the process as well. I wanted a team who paid attention to detail, loved what they did and were proud of the work they do. I found all of that plus more at Massih Orthodontics. 5stars Plus ++

I went in today for a consult with Dr. Massih, I was feeling kind of shy and not sure what to expect or if I could really be helped due to previous experiences. I didn’t have high hopes for what my teeth could look like or that it would really change my smile. I am very insecure about my teeth and its been this way for my whole life something I have been ashamed of since a childhood accident knocked my two front teeth out. I never really smiled with my mouth open and I delete any pics where my teeth are showing. I was also concerned with cost and so that further dampened my hopes. I’d just resigned myself before that I’d be that girl with the messed up teeth that doesn’t smile. But walking out of there, today is the first time in my life I feel like I had hope for my smile. Dr. Massih is so kind and accommodating and thorough in her explanation of procedures and what to expect. She made me feel 100% comfortable and I didn’t feel ashamed of my mouth.The payment plans are flexible and affordable and I felt her staff was so knowledgeable and kind. You honestly feel like you’re walking in to somewhere where ppl genuinely care for you. The office is very comforting in color and design and super clean and cozy. I can’t wait to get started on my treatment, I can’t wait to actually smile and be proud of my smile. This is gonna change my life :-).
