MISSION
Our mission is to give the gift of everlasting smiles, in a healthy, friendly and professional environment for our patients and ourselves. Serving our community with the highest standards of care through advanced technology, with a knowledgeable and experienced team. It is an honor and a priviledge to care for our patients and their families with love, compassion and respect.In our office we strive to give each patient friendly and personalized attention. Every effort is made to attend to your needs in a caring and timely manner. Each patient will be treated on an individual basis and seen by Dr. Khakhria at each visit. In order to make it more convenient for our patients we do offer some evening and weekend appointments.
In our ORTHODONTIC office:
To ensure that the quality of orthodontics delivered is of the highest caliber, we are committed to regularly attending seminars, continuing education courses and conventions to remain on the leading edge of the science of orthodontics.
Languages spoken: Spanish, Hindi, Gujarati, Swahili and Portuguese
Your first visit:
At this visit Dr. Khakhria will perform an orthodontic exam to determine the problems that exist and the necessity and timing of treatment. You will be given a set of digital pictures to take home with you. There is no charge for the initial visit to our office.
You will meet one of our administrative staff to review Dr. Khakhria’s recommended treatment plan. We want each patient to know exactly what problems have been identified and the ideal type of orthodontic treatment necessary. Our team is dedicated to the financial arrangements as “pain free” as possible. From handling every aspect of the insurance claim to setting up interest free payment plans.
We work hard to make things easy for you!
