Dr. Marshak is probably the best orthodentist that I have come across. Not only is he very professional, knowledgeable, and very patient...he is very down to earth. I went to him to get my upper teeth realigned since it got shifted after my first braces about 20 years ago. After first exam which is $50, you will be sent to a x ray lab to get the xrays for your teeth so that Dr. Marshak can determine what needs to be done. After that, a mold is made for treatment and future retainers. Every visit is enjoyable...however, one thing I dislike is the front desk lady who seems to very impatient... Maybe it's just me.
