My daughter has just finished her orthodontic treatment with Dr. Sima Rafati and we could not be more pleased both with the process and the result! The doctor is knowledgeable, experienced, and caring. The office is state of the art: clean, inviting, and child friendly with TV screens above the treatment chairs. The staff is very friendly, helping and polite. We had wonderful 4 year treatment experience with them which flew by as one day! The doctor is very patient and understanding with her patients, making sure the treatment is fully complete before she lets you go. My daughter was not cooperative with wearing her rubber bands, hence her treatment took a bit longer than it was anticipated. Dr. Sima Rafati was very patient with us all along, never rushing us or kicking out of the treatment. My son has just started his treatment and we are looking forward to another 4 or so years with this orthodontic practice. I consider us lucky to have found this practice. I would highly recommend Sima Rafati to everyone with orthodontic needs. You can always come to a complimentary consultation just to take a look at the office, meet the doctor, and to find out about your treatment options. Thank you, Dr. Rafati and your wonderful personnel for everything you did for us!

Dr. Rafati has fixed my teeth, my two younger brothers, my best friends son without jaw surgery, my coworker and I have referred countless people to her...Why? Because she genuinely cares and loves her patients. She is always smiling and happy and greets everyone with tenderness. Loving kindness oozes our of her I swear! I was there today and I was greeted by her staff whom were super friendly, I got excellent service and even got to watch a movie while laying in the chair. Her office provides water, coffee, tea and snacks and I think that is just the icing on the cake. THANK YOU for all you have done for me and my family. LOVE and BLESSINGS.

This place is awesome! I have been with them for about 2 and a half years and my teeth are way better. I just got my braces off and my family was saying that my teeth look really good. Thank you Dr. Rafati and all the staff!

I just started coming here for my braces and the whole office is very well-furnished. All the staff are very helpful and easy to talk to. The way they set up TVs with movies in the ceilings helps the time pass as they work on my teeth. Also the way they organize the appointments is very helpful. Overall Rafati Orthodontics is an amazing place that makes my life easier. Definitely 5 stars.

I would like to say that if anyone needs braces, I would recommend seeing Dr.Rafati based on my experience. Recently, I got my braces off and I can tell that she definitely knows how to manipulate teeth so that they are straight as a piano. Also, all the staff members were very welcoming and I felt like I could easily carry on a conversation with the technicians while they worked on my braces. What I found that was very chill about their office was that it looked very welcoming and you feel like you are at the beach. It also included TVs on the ceiling so that you have entertainment while you are waiting for your teeth to be done. Overall,i would recommend seeing Dr.Rafati if anyone is in dire need of braces.

I love the service we got in this office. Not only is the staff courteous and kind, but the work done on my sons teeth looks amazing. Our Appointments were always on time and we loved the online reminders to be there. The environment is very clean, professional and friendly. I would definitely recommend this office to my friends.

Im never one to rate these types of things, but i felt as if their great work of orthopedic dentistry needs to be heard. What separates this orthodontics to the other five places that ive been to is that Dr. Rafati and the whole entire staff are very kind and loving! Every time i come in, theres always a warm welcome. This place definitely makes you feel like family. While the process of having braces was no fun, Dr. Rafati and the staff brings less of a burden in having them. Their kind presence and loving attitude towards their job makes you feel trusted in the ways they go around fixing your teeth. I had braces for about 2 years and now my teeth looks amazing. I would definitely recommend to bring your child or even yourself to this orthodontics. Definitely the best place in the San Jose area and they will try and help anyone. This place definitely deserves 5 stars. :)

The second you walk into Sima Rafati D.D.S, M.S. Orthodontics, you not only know you will get your teeth in shape, but you feel you will have fun. Usually when someone tells youre getting braces, you get scared. (Yes braces hurt and you cant change that) When I was told I was going to this place, it made my day. My sister is three years older than me, and her Orthodontist used to be in the same place that I go to today, so I knew it was going to be amazing. This is because of the environment and staff.In any Orthodontics, you never want a staff that carelessly twists and yanks wires. You want a staff that walks you to your seat, asks you how your day was, and gently tightens your wires. Then they change the color of your braces (to your choice), and asks if youve been wearing your gear. It gives you the feeling that theyre not going yank your teeth out without notice.The environment makes you feel that you are on vacation-literally! The digital windows give you the tropical and happy feeling you deserve. If you have a little one who is getting bored, there is a flat screen TV that plays you favorite G-rated movies. Right below the TV is a snack bar that includes tea, coffee, different fruits, and hot chocolate.All in all, Sima Rafatis Orthodontics is guaranteed to give an exceptional cozy feeling that makes you glad you came.

Dr. Rafati is very helpful. We moved from Portland in the middle of treatment and Dr. Rafati was willing to take over the treatment with minimal costs. She is very professional. She takes time to discuss treatment with us and as a result we are able to complete treatment in record time with quality outcome. We are very happy to refer her to our friends and family.

2 of our children have been going here for many years. The staff is very friendly and Dr. Rafati is a sweet heart. Although one of their female staff member with a very heavy accent is very aggressive and hurt our daughter in our last visit and havent been back since then. I did speak to Rafati and her reply was she was a new staff member. I feel she is not a good fit for your business. Best wishes

I have just had my son finish his 2.5 year treatment with Doctor Rafati, and we could not be happier! My sons teeth turned out great, and they are nice and straight. Her office was very nice and clean, and it was quite comfortable. The staff were all friendly and nice, and they were all very involved in making sure my son had great teeth. Doctor Rafati was friendly and patient, and worked with us and around our schedule to help us. I love Doctor Rafati.

I went to Doctor Rafatis Orthondontics for my braces, and currently Im wearing retainers. I had an open bite, where my top row of teeth and bottom row of teeth did not close together; there was a big gap. After getting braces, the results were shockingly pleasant. Now, my front teeth have come out and they are covering my bottom teeth and the gap is nonexistent. The staff are extremely kind and welcoming, the facility and tools are clean and modern, it is overall such a great place. I highly highly recommend Rafatis Orthodontics for braces.

Just had my braces removed, and my teeth look awesome. Throughout the process Dr. Rafati, and staff treated me great. Every appointment I was made to feel at home, and there wasnt any excessive waiting. My parents were always informed on the reason for each appointment, and they also felt at home with Dr. Rafati, and her friendly staff.

Overall, they provide excellent services. It was was simple and straightforward, which was important for me and my busy schedule. Each of the staff members is very friendly, improving the 3 year experience I had with them. I would certainly recommend them to anyone looking to get braces.

Dr. Rafati and her entire staff are extremely welcoming, so its hard to leave with a frown even if they hurt you - which I cant remember them ever doing! They are all extremely engaged and attentive, not just with you as a patient but with you as a person (expect a lot of interesting conversations). Their movies are entertaining to watch, and I can trust them to give me a beautiful smile while melting away in the chair.Despite not being very good at wearing retainers for my exact designated hours, my teeth are still looking great and have few problems! Thanks so much!

My son sees Dr. Rafati and we both absolutely love her and her staff. The office is extremely clean and everyone is very friendly and caring. I was highly impressed with Dr. Rafatis knowledge and attention to detail. My son is always in smiles whenever we go to their office. They are right on time for appointments and are always able to see us the same day if we have a problem. Im extremely happy with them.

Dr. Rafatis office is GREAT! The staff is awesome! My son just finished his treatment and he always loved going to the office because of the friendly staff and the healthy snacks that they have to offer n always a movie playing to keep the kids comfortable. Dr Rafati is very knowledgeable and very professional and of course sweet =) I will recommend her with no doubt!

Review №21

Ever since the first day that I walked into Dr Rafatis office Ive been very happy I choose to get my braces here. Her entire Staff is very knowledgeable, professional, patient and kind. Every appointment I had started on time and I was finished right on time as well. If I ever had to reschedule at the last minute because of work, they always understood and would move my appointment to fit me in when I was freed up. The Dr was always there to answer any questions and made sure I completely understood the answers. She has very flexible payment options and had one that was just right for my budget.If I ever had a problem with my braces I would call and they would take care of it asap. Even after hours if it was an emergency. And now that I had my braces taken off today, I feel a little sad that I wont be coming here as regularly. I almost wish I could go through the process again. But what I will do is send everyone I know that is thinking about orthodontics to come to Dr Rafati as there isnt a better place on the planet.

We were so impressed with Dr Rafati’s work that we intend to use her for our second daughter’s braces.Dr Rafati and her staff were very passionate about their work. She was very accommodating and helpful, and my daughter was always looking forward to her next appointment with Dr Rafati, every time.I would not hesitate to strongly recommend Dr Rafati for any orthodontic work, and I am sure you’ll always be very satisfied with the results.

Dr. Rafati has excellent training and credentials and communicates her strategy patiently with parents and kids alike. We chose her for my sons because she has advanced training in orthodontic specialties, talked with my boys about the treatment plan, and explained how she would approach challenging issues that might come up. I like her approach, dedication and thoroughness. Office staff is friendly too.

Both me and my daughter are seeing Dr. Rafati. She was referred by my dentist, whose daughter is also seeing Dr. Rafati. I figured I couldnt go wrong with the same doctor. I was certainly right. The office was very well equipped. Unlike many other medical office, this office always runs on time. My teeth was very challenging and Dr. Rafati handled them very well with her experience. I will definitely recommend her to my friends etc.

We know Dr Rafati for almost 6 years now first we started with my daughter as soon as she was done, my Son started his braces, as you can tell we definitely been very happy since we went back same place For the second child. Three things was important for me when I was looking to find the right doctor for my kids and I found them all in Doctor Raffati’s office.#1 having a knowledgeable and experienced Doctor Who is great at what she does and has a nice personality that would work with young children. ✔️#2 friendly & professional office staff ✔️# 3 Open space Area that I can see my kid at ALL TIME while they are working on hers or his braces✔️If I could I would’ve give 100 stars and yes I definitely recommend this office.

Review №31

IF I COULD GIVE Sima Rafati 0 stars I WOULD because I believe she SHOULD NOT BE WORKING with children. She got into a verbal altercation with my child and WAS IN HER FACE SCREAMING AT HER!! This is horrible and if she is a professional, she should know other ways talk to kids and control her anger, especially if she has been doing this for a living. This is an embarrassing dental professional who should consider doing another career because her passion isnt with kids.Her fake smile is great and all around the lobby but catch her in her office behind closed doors alone with your kid and she will show her true colors. I would never recommend any parent here AND DO NOT DROP OFF YOUR KIDS HERE ALONE WITH HER! THAT WAS MY MISTAKE AND I WARN ALL OF YOU NOT TO DO THE SAME

There has been nothing more rewarding to see my daughters care in the hands of an experienced , perceptive, and a compassionate professional.  I appreciate Dr,Rafatis genuine care of my daughter since her childhood.  Having a child with a low threshold for pain that even a haircut is an ordeal, Dr.Rafatis management of my daughter has been a blessing.  Her expertise and wisdom in handling my daughters personalized care is much appreciated.  My family and I feel fortunate to have her as it is very rare to find somebody of such high standards and expertise.Her Omni presence in her office and interaction with her medical staff has been comfort of my mind.

Both my son and I have been receiving orthodontic treatment from Dr Rafati for the past 5 years. My son had braces and I went through the Invisalign treatment. Dr Rafati did an amazing job for both of us. She is very technically knowledgeable and thorough. She has a very kind personality and very empathic with the patients. She patiently works around any issues that may come up and customizes the treatment carefully. Her assistants are also excellent and we got great support from the front desk staff. Overall we are very happy and glad we came to Dr Rafati.

I have been working with Dr. Rafati for several years. She is one of the best orthodontists who I can trust. She cares for patients as well as the staffs. In addition, for Dr. Rafati, patient’s comfort and safety come first, that’s why she always keeps up with technological advancement. Our office always has friendly environment. Admittedly, choosing an orthodontic office for your smile or your child is an important decision. Therefore, coming to Dr. Rafati’ s Orthodontics, we ensure that your treatment is truly worry-free.

I have worked with Dr Rafati for over 5 years now and she is one of the most professional people I know. She is extremely caring and takes her time with each patient, explaining their treatment plan and answering their every question. She is also a perfectionist when it comes to her patients smiles. Our office has 4 operatory chairs, side by side, in our open spaced office where her patients are extremely comfortable with a great atmosphere as well as state of the art tvs to entertain them as they get their treatment done. If youre looking for an excellent orthodontist office, Dr Rafati is the best!

Rafatis Orthodontics is making my teeth look better already! I have an expander right now, but from what my brothers teeth look like now, I cant wait for the results! They make the whole experience really easy. For the kids, they place TVs above their heads (on the ceiling) so they dont get bored and fuss. They have a brushing area, so that you dont have to brush at home at the last second, and the people that work there answer all of your questions/needs. They give you packets of utensils for your appliances and include items like gushy goo, which is a silicone goo that you roll up to make a little barrier from the mouth to the appliance, if it is irritating. They send packets home with you so the parents can understand how each step is taken. Overall Rafatis Orthodontics are a great way to get great teeth!-Megan H.

I’m so glad for having chosen Dr. Rafati for my son. For 4 years Dr. Rafati has been sensitive to my son’s needs and concerns throughout his treatment. Her staff are always courteous, helpful and generally lovely. The assistants in the back are absolutely awesome. I saw so many of them and not a single one was someone I wouldnt want working on my son’s teeth. The office is well-run and well-coordinated. My son never ever had to wait for his appointment. I think what’s most important is that Dr. Rafati works to surpass the standard in her field. She is highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable.. What I am compelled to share, is the unique experience with Dr. Rafati. The amazing way about her and the way she displays her patience, and also how she relates the information and what to expect. Having braces is not the world’s most pleasant experience, and my son can think of a lot of other things he’d rather do than have his teeth worked on, but Dr. Rafati and her assistants make the process as positive as it could be. I felt like they worked with my son rather than just on him. Dr. Rafati’s honesty and professionalism and willingness to explain everything is beyond what is generally offered by her peers, that is why I recommend her to anyone and everyone. Today my son received his retainer.. That will probably be the last time I see Dr. Rafati and the staff. I think my son and I actually going to miss them. Thank you Doctor Rafati for your care and fantastic service. My son loves his new smile!-The Zadehs

Dr. Rafati is awesome! Ive visited several other orthodontics offices before getting my braces. Dr. Rafatis office is the best! Dr. Rafati is honest with me about what the best result can be. She sincerely cares about her patients and is always available. She is a very experienced doctor and takes great pride in her work. Her staff members are very friendly, caring and skillful. They made each of my appointments more enjoyable. Ive been with them for 3 years. Each time going there is like visiting old friends. I strongly recommend Dr. Rafatis office!

Everyone is so nice, warm and attentive to your needs.I had the invisalign treatment and everything went really smoothly and perfectly.Dr. Rafati take time to talk to me and get to know me. She remembers what I did for my last holidays! or what was my concern about the trays I had to change. I really was positively surprised by the whole team and care.The staff is really kind. They are flexible and easy to understand! Carina and Taraneh at the front desk are so helpful and friendly. They always try to do their best to accommodate you with an appointment or a bill you would need.One of my tooth was going back from where it came once the treatment ended and Dr Rafati was really attentive to that and it cost me nothing to have new consultations.Besides, Ive been to several orthodontists before coming at Dr Rafatis office and it appears to be the cheapest for the same treatment.I highly recommend Dr Rafati and her nice and professional team. I am very happy with the results and I know if I have any questions or problems, I can get back to them at anytime (even after the end of the treatment) and find someone who will help me out. The overall experience was really positive for me.

My 8 year old daughter started seeing Dr. Rafati autumn of 2012. She was very scared at first, but the friendly staff and Dr Rafatis reassuring manner, demystified her treatment plan and she now she actually looks forward to her appointments.Judy and Stephanie (RDA and DA) in particular are great with us. My 3 year old who comes with her sister to appointments love these two ladies. She enjoys the movies they play on the ceiling. They make an otherwise unpleasant process enjoyable.I personally love the cleanliness of the environment and their modern approach to their office. Theyre big fans of Cupertino =)My daughter is now wearing partial braces with upper and lower expanders. With all the metal in her mouth, I was a concerned shed feel very self conscious, or worse, feel uncomfortable. But she says she hardly notices shes wearing them and she had loads of complements from her friends on her choice of colours for the bands on her braces.I highly recommend them!

We have been seeing Dr Rafati for ~3 years and we are extremely happy with Dr Rafati and her entire office staff. I would highly recommend her to all my friends in the bay area. We loved her so much that we continued to see her, even after we moved away from South San Jose.Dr Rafati shares her opinion and consults with the family at length. She typically offers a few choices, for the situation and provides her recommendations. She always takes into account your opinion and typical activities and works with you for the right solution, that suits your lifestyles and activities.Dr Rafati is kind, caring and patient with all her patients and cares immensely about making sure you walk away with that perfect Hollywood smile. When the braces go on initially, there is a lot of discomfort and we made several trips to her office. She was always welcoming and ensured we were taken care of. Dr Rafati has called us over the weekend when we have had unexpected emergencies. Lastly, Dr Rafati does not recommend any unnecessary things or prolong the treatment. She starts the treatment only when it is necessary (i.e at the appropriate time) and ends it at the right time.As for her office staff, they are amazing. They get to know you very well and make every visit pleasant. Even if they are not working on you on that day, they will walk over to check on you and make sure you are doing great! The staff here are very experienced and know how to deal with patients, even cranky ones and ones with severe gag reflex. They will comfort you and ease your discomfort effortlessly.The facilities are really clean and state of the art. Overall, I wish all my doctor visits are like this!
