PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Minnah and her staff are among the most professional and courteous of all the dental and medical practices I have ever experienced. As an older orthodonture patient, I had very high and perhaps somewhat unrealistic expectations going in, and to my delight, my expectations  were surpassed. I was very impressed with every aspect of my experience and extremely pleased with my final result.

Due to the removal of Wisdom teeth, spaces between teeth were progressively increasing resulting in weakening of structural support. My Family Dentist recommended that I see a good Orthodontist. Chose Minnah & Korn. Dr. Minnah patiently explained the treatment, difference between permanent and Invisalign braces. I chose the latter. I was excited to see my progress in 3D X-rays, in about 6 months my teeth closed-in and aligned. A graduate of Harvard University, Dr Minnah is very competent and skilled Dentist. Highly recommended.

Minnah & Korn has been the best dental experience I have ever received from someone who has been over 10 years in and out of different dentists regarding the same condition. Dr.Minnah seemed to even care a lot more about my dental progress than I did at times. Super nice and super welcoming. I always got my money’s worth. She made my entire process very seamless and did such a great job! I will gladly recommend Minnah & Korn to anyone without hesitation!

Dr. Minnah is fantastic. She is an outstanding and a compassionate Orthodontist. I was referred to her by my general dentist who spoke very highly of her.  I wore braces for about a year to straighten out my lower teeth.  Prior to treatment, Dr. Minnah answered all my questions and explained the procedure in detail.   My case was complex requiring coordination with an endodontist for root canal, a periodontist for implants and a general dentist for bonding and crowns. It was clear from the very beginning that Dr. Minnah has expertise in dealing with complex cases. She stayed on top of my case throughout the treatment, and  I am extremely pleased with the end result. I consider myself very fortunate to have been treated by Dr. Minnah,  and recommend her highly. The staff is also highly competent and extremely pleasant.

I highly, highly recommend Minnah & Korn Orthodontics. Dr. Minnah always strives for the best results — she will go the extra mile to make sure that you finish your orthodontic treatment with straight and beautiful teeth. The staff are also super friendly. I always feel at home when I go to the office. Thank you so much, Dr. Minnah!

As an adult with a client-facing legal career, I needed a solution to straighten my teeth that would allow me to maintain a professional appearance and social life style. I did not want aligners as I had seen my colleagues having to remove trays prior to meals. Dr. Minnah suggested that lingual braces (bonded to the inside surface of the teeth) would be a good option for me as it provided maximum effectiveness and would allow for me to continue my professional career with clients. The first week of wearing the braces was uncomfortable but once my mouth was used to the braces, I noticed no difficulty in speaking or eating. It was nice to see the progress and changes in my bite and progress over the next couple of weeks. During the treatment I was able to execute all my professional duties with my clients without feeling nervous about people noticing my braces. From a personal perspective, it was also nice to go out on dates without my dates knowing I was wearing braces. I am thrilled with the results and I am very glad I chose to see Dr. Minnah for lingual braces. She was caring and thorough and she was able to make very custom adjustments based on my specific needs. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Dr. Minnah is absolutely fantastic! My experience with her and her team was nothing short of amazing. She and her staff are A+++, very personable, and always made me feel welcomed. My reason for treatment was one problem tooth that teenage braces weren’t able to fix, and some general shifting from not wearing a retainer after getting the braces off. After consulting with Dr. Minnah, I decided to undergo Invisalign treatment with some fairly unique custom adjustments that Dr. Minnah was willing to make for my particular case. She was extremely informative, caring, and professional throughout the process. I’m pretty detail oriented and ask many questions, but she always took the time to explain every step and make sure I was comfortable. Her work was tremendously successful and I could not be more pleased with both the process and result. If you are considering any type of orthodontic work, I give Dr. Minnah my highest possible endorsement! You will not be disappointed!

I was very luck to be referred to Dr Minnah for my Invisalign treatment about a year ago. Her office is right on Newburry street just a couple blocks from my work. As a physician, I tend to be very critical of poor patient care. I have nothing bad to say about this practice. The staff is amazing. Dr Minnah is amazing. The care I got was amazing. Even with COVID complexities, I was still able to get the care I needed. I would highly recommend Dr Minnah for anyone considering Invisalign or other orthodontic treatment. I am extremely happy with the results from Invisalign with her as my provider.

I’ve been going to Dr. Minnah for my orthodontic treatment for a few months now, and I couldn’t be happier. As a General Dentist myself in need of orthodontics treatment I was looking for an office that offers personalized orthodontics treatment, a family-friendly environment, and flexible hours. I sure did find it at “Minnah and Korn Orthodontics”. Dr. Minnah is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and professional throughout the process. She helped me to make the right decision for my orthodontic care, based upon a thorough analysis of my orthodontics records and my needs, we decided on Invisalign orthodontics therapy. With the clear Invisalign trays, I can enjoy looking at my smile becoming more beautiful every day, and I can remove the trays and do a meticulous brushing and flossing as well. I am so happy with my treatment. Each office visit is so pleasant. Dr. Minnah has an amazing staff, always friendly, very capable, helpful, and welcoming. I am so grateful I found Dr. Minnah and her wonderful staff. I give Dr. Minnah my highest possible recommendations.

I have had a great experience with Dr. Minnah. I needed to get a new retainer and do some minor work to close a small gap that formed. I found their practice through ZocDoc. They worked with me to find the best option that for me. I wanted the cheapest option and to not get braces again and they modified their treatment options to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. I have been going there for several months now and am finishing up treatment. Office is very comfortable, welcoming and easy to get to (5 min walk from back back stop on orange line or Copley on the green line). Everyone at the office has been nothing but helpful and kind. Dr. Minnah always asks about how I’m doing personally and is very thorough. They have been accommodating with my school schedule and allowed me to make smaller payments over a longer period of time. All in all, highly recommend

I thought my visit went well, very smooth. I am always seen on time and taken care of right away. I would recommend my orthodontist(s) to my friends, family and network I service is always outstanding, no issues, and I have never had to wait longer than 5 minutes to be seen.

Dr. Minnah and her office staff were lovely. They were sensitive and flexible to my situation, especially as a transfer patient with a busy schedule. Dr. Minnah went out of her way to take on my case and ensure that I had great care. I am very happy with how my teeth look and will whole-heartedly recommend her to others hoping to improve their smile 🙂

For those who haven’t been to an orthodontist in years, I highly suggest Dr Minnah. My permanent bottom retainer that I’ve had for 10 years suddenly broke. Dr Minnah got me in the next day and fixed it – I was in and out. Not to mention, the front staff was warm and welcoming. For a very stressful and unwanted situation (I’m not local), they provided a extremely painless experience and very quick fix!

I highly recommend Dr. Minnah for anyone needing braces. I was an adult patient taking care of things that should have been done as a child. I very much appreciate that she was transparent about how long the process would take and what it was going to require of me. She worked very well with both my dentist and my periodontist through the surgeries and implants. Everyone in the office is very nice and very capable. It’s not easy to be an adult professional wearing braces but they made the process less painful than I expected it to be. I am very happy I found Dr. Minnah (and Dr. Korn who has since retired) and her team.

When I was considering having my teeth straightened I went for three opinions: 1) Invisaline @ Dentist; 2) Braces @ Orthodontist in Somerville; 3) Braces @ Minnah and Korn. – Invisaline was going to take 2-2 1/2 years. – The Orthodontist in Somerville was going to pull two teeth, and the time commitment was 18-24 months. I didn’t like the open plan in the office. There was no privacy and it was full of teenagers. I am 52 and like my privacy. – At Minnah and Korn, an emphasis was put on jaw exercises and “training forward”. No teeth needed to be pulled, and the time commitment as 12-18 months. The office environment is smaller and more intimate, with a lot more privacy. Their earliest appointment is 7:30am, making it easy for me to get to work on time. Considering that all three options were approx. the same cost, my choice to go with Minnah and Korn was an easy one. I am so pleased with the result because: – the braces were clear and not easy to see. – 12 months and done! – I get lots of compliments on my smile. – an emphasis is put on maintenance, and this will protect my investment. It is without hesitation that I give Minnah and Korn five stars.

My orthodontist is in Chicago so when I broke my aligner, I called around to see if a boston-based orthodontist could help. Dr. Minnah and team went out of their way – staying past their lunch hour to call my Chicago ortho and suresmile (the company that designed the technology behind my treatment) to make sure they had the right machine and material, then made a new aligner for me within 30 mins. I’m not a regular patient here but they clearly take great care of their patients! Can definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an awesome orthodontist in Boston

After all there was a reason that I have waited to have orthodontic treatment for so many years. Dr Minnah and her team have been fabulous to work with. She corrected my overly crowded teeth without pulling a single tooth. Now I am enjoying a perfect smile and occlusion thanks to her exceptional skills and extremely pleasant patient care. Equally recommended for adults and children.

Dr. Minnah is an extraordinary orthodontist. She is diligent and honest, and goes above and beyond in both practice and recommendations. I have trusted the excellent team at Minnah & Korn Orthodontics with my health for over ten years. I cannot recommend them enough.

Dr Minnah is absolutely THE BEST!!! I had braces in high school and now in my 40’s my teeth had shifted a bit. I got a consult with a downtown Boston office advertising a special on invisalign treatment. The doctor told me they would need to shave my teeth slightly to make them straight and would not guarantee the treatment would work otherwise. They were also going to adhere things to the outside of certain teeth to accomplish results. I was completely not on board with this and sought a consult with Dr. Minnah. (Minnah and Korn did my son’s braces as it was THE place for children’s orthodontics and I had not thought about them for myself. I’m so glad I did!!) Dr. Minnah was so knowledgable and easy to work with. She made me feel so relaxed and in control of my care at all times offering me choices and options whenever possible. Invisalign was a painless and very easy treatment! In only a few months my teeth are back to what they were over 20 years ago right after braces. Perfectly straight with NO SHAVING or anything placed on my teeth during treatment!!! I highly recommend Dr Minnah and her entire staff for any and ALL of your orthodontic needs!!

I highly recommend Minnah and Korn Orthodontics and do so based on two generations of experience. I was a patient (as an adult) of Dr. Korn many years ago, and my daughter is now a patient of Dr. Minnah. If you are considering orthodontic treatment, either for your child or as an adult, you simply will not find a more experienced, capable and genuinely caring practice anywhere. If you have a complicated orthodontic problem or suffer from Temporal Mandibular Joint (TMJ) pain, Dr. Minnah and Dr. Korn are so exceptionally experienced and qualified that no other practice comes close to their expertise and success in treatment. In my case, even with braces as a teenager, I had severe TMJ pain for most of my adult life. A year prior to being recommended to Dr. Korn, I was in treatment while living outside of Massachusetts and scheduled for surgery that would have separated and re-positioned sections of my jaw to resolve the malocclusion causing my TMJ problems. This apparently is a commonly accepted practice when, in fact, it turned out to be completely unnecessary in my case. When I returned to the Boston area, my dentist suggested that I have a consultation with Dr. Korn. It was the best decision that I’ve ever made with regard to my health. Dr. Korn did a thorough workup of my case, and he recommended a non-surgical treatment plan that incorporated jaw re-positioning appliances that he has developed over many years of research and practice. The result was that I avoided surgery altogether. Most importantly, since the completion of my treatment many years ago, I’ve never had a relapse of TMJ pain. When my daughter was recently evaluated by our regular dentist with a significant overbite and an adult tooth that had become impacted in her jaw, it was a clear choice as to which orthodontics practice to choose. We couldn’t be happier with the analysis and treatment program that Dr. Minnah is providing. She took all the time necessary to develop an exceptionally detailed and well-considered treatment plan, educated us on my daughter’s situation, and offered for our consideration a recommendation based on several options that best fit my daughter’s situation as well as our resources and timing. We have absolutely complete confidence in Dr. Minnah and everyone at the office goes out of their way to accommodate our schedule and work with us to make the treatment easy and convenient. With an impacted adult tooth to manage along with a significant adjustment to her bite, my daughter’s treatment plan required considerable expertise to take everything into to account. Now, six months into her treatment, she’s is making fantastic progress and we both couldn’t be happier with the choice that we made.

This is an excellent group of extremely professional women who treat their patients with care and respect. Dr. Minnah does not hesitate to explain the reasoning behind any of her decisions; she makes the whole experience a conversation, which makes me feel confident in trusting her.

The best place ever!! My typical orthodontist office is all the way in Central, MA but I attend school in Back Bay. One of my brackets fell off causing the wire to poke into my gums,, Minnah & Korn Orthodontics was able to bring me right in and clip that wire and secure the rest of my brackets. The receptionist on the phone was so understanding and both orthodontists I saw were so kind and helpful. I was in and out! Beautiful office and rooms! Highly recommend !

I can’t imagine a better experience at an Orthodontics office! The entire team at Dr. Minnah’s office is superb. The coordinators at the front desk who greet you and check you in are exceptionally kind and welcoming, and Dr. Minnah and the treatment assistants are incredibly competent, knowledgeable, and caring. They truly want you to be satisfied with your orthodontic treatment, and take your feedback and concerns seriously. I never imagined that an orthodontics office would feel like home to me, but I strangely kind of looked forward to going to the office regularly for check-ins. I actually teared up when I left the office for the last time after I finished my treatment! I am incredibly satisfied with my experience with the aligners, and highly recommend Dr. Minnah and her team if you are looking for orthodontic treatments.

Im 26 years old and have had my braces on for 1 year and 5 months. I’ve had really crooked teeth since middle school and its always been an insecurity of mine. Since getting my braces on, there has been a total 180° change. My teeth are now completely straight and both Dr. Minnah and Dr. Korn have been so incredibly helpful and have explained every little detail along the way. Payments are very reasonable and interest free, and the staff is FANTASTIC. I would HIGHLY recommend this location

I can not recommend Dr Minnah enough!! I’m an adult patient with some needed repairs for my permanent retainer. The office was extremely home-y (as opposed to generically clinical). The practice has a patient coordinator who genuinely wants to make your life easier (handling claims, makes sure you understand a charge before they move forward with a procedure, etc.) I am a service designer by profession and have never been super blown away by orthodontia – until Dr. Minnah’s office! Would HIGHLY recommend.

This review is only for Dr Minnah! I saw her back in 2015. As a foreign student with no dental insurance at the time, I was so relieved to find her. Thorough, pleasant, competent, she listened to my situation and carefully explained my options. I needed urgent help, and though there was no chance of me being a repeat patient anyways, she still made sure I would pay as little as possible. Couldn’t recommend her more.

Dr. Minnah is extremely knowledgable and professional. She is excellent at explaining the steps necessary to complete my son’s orthodontic care. The staff and the office environment is very welcoming. I would highly recommend Dr. Minnah to anyone seeking orthodontic care.

I have had the pleasure of working for Dr. Minnah, as well as being her current patient. I left the Minnah & Korn Orthodontics (MKO) team in 2019 to pursue dental school, and have since been under Invisalign treatment from her. As an aspiring dentist, Dr. Minnah has been the best mentor and role model. The way she conducts every aspect of her practice is through the lens of compassion for patients. I have seen her go out of the way to ensure each patient is comfortable with their orthodontic appliances – even if that means coming into the office on a holiday – this is also true of the entire MKO team. As an assistant, I had the ‘behind the scenes’ look at how she plans her treatment for every patient. She thoroughly studies each patient’s case and always looks for the most effective, conservative approach. She will not have you in braces a day longer than you need them! To say she is detail-oriented would be an understatement – from following up with patients to recognizing a tooth needs to move distally 1mm, you can be confident Dr. Minnah and her team will provide you with the best orthodontic experience. As a patient, I have seen great results in just a few months. I have not been able to get to the office because of the pandemic, but her staff has been very flexible and accommodating to ensure my treatment is on track. Although it would probably be easier to receive treatment from an orthodontist located closer to me, I know I will not receive better treatment than I am from MKO

Dr. Minnah is absolutely fantastic! My experience with her and her team was nothing short of amazing. She and her staff are A+++, very personable, and always made me feel welcomed. My reason for treatment was one problem tooth that teenage braces weren’t able to fix, and some general shifting from not wearing a retainer after getting the braces off.

I’m pretty detail oriented and ask many questions, but she always took the time to explain every step and make sure I was comfortable. Her work was tremendously successful and I could not be more pleased with both the process and result. If you are considering any type of orthodontic work, I give Dr. Minnah my highest possible endorsement! You will not be disappointed!

I have loved my time with Dr. Minnah Orthodontics. Everybody in the office is very friendly and Dr. Minnah has done a great job straightening my teeth using behind-the-teeth Lingual braces. I’m about six months into the process, and have had a really great experience. I definitely recommend her!

I absolutely adore Dr Minnah! Both my son and myself have been with Dr Korn for orthodontic care for several years and when he retired we met with Dr Minnah. Initially I was worried we would never get the kind of care we received from Dr Korn but I am blown away! Her knowledge and skill is only superceded by her kindness and compassion. I highly recommend seeing Dr Minnah for any orthodontic care!

I went into Dr. Minnahs office because I was grinding my teeth at night, and having chronic headaches along with muscle tightness in my neck. I had been dealing with these symptoms my whole life but it got to the point where I couldn’t take it anymore. When I walked in I was greeted with her wonderful team and automatically felt welcome. Dr. Minnah showed me several technics to help me unclench my jaw. At first I was quite skeptical, but once I did them consistently in less then a week I noticed that I was no longer waking up with headaches. I showed my father who also suffered with grinding his teeth and he too felt a million times better. I would highly recommend Dr. Minnah to anyone. Without a doubt one of the best things I could have done for myself.

Highly recommend Dr. Minnah and the team there. I wanted to get lingual braces for a while and consulted with about 10 orthodontists in NYC and Boston before choosing Dr. Minnah, and I’m extremely happy with my decision. This is what you get from her – (1) patience and understanding, (2) quality staff, (3) someone that could talk to adults, (4) very professional service, (5) high quality results. I had lingual braces on for a little over a year, and (1) had no speech issues (except for the first couple days to adapt), and (2) no one noticed that I had them on. I got the results that I wanted (bite correction and straight teeth) without anyone knowing that I had the braces. I’m an active adult in his early 30s that works in finance and travels a lot for work and pleasure. I could not have asked for a better solution with a better doctor.

I highly recommend Minnah and Korn Orthodontics and do so based on two generations of experience. I was a patient (as an adult) of Dr. Korn many years ago, and my daughter is now a patient of Dr. Minnah. If you are considering orthodontic treatment, either for your child or as an adult, you simply will not find a more experienced, capable and genuinely caring practice anywhere.
