Isaac Hakim, DMD PC

This office is very very strange. I really rather not get into what happened here with me. But there is something very secretive and odd happenings with them. I would advise to stay away.

We are so pleased with Dr. Hakim and his professional and courteous staff! When we moved into this area year ago, someone referred us to Dr. Hakim and we are so lucky they did! I want to pass on this glowing reference by saying that my son was deathly afraid of everything having to do with orthodontics, and Roger (technician) was so fantastic, he made my son feel right at ease. Now, about a year later, my son has his braces off and is a total pro at the dentist or orthodontist! I could not be happier. Any question we had or issue that might have arisen, an appointment that was missed, or any thing that might come up was handled so well. Dr Hakim is not only renowned for his work, be has a happy, courteous and knowledgeable staff.

Dr. Hakim has a real talent! His skill & patience w my case in particular really shined, I received compliments everywhere I went! While under his lingual braces treatment not only did my overlap in the front of my smile straighten out after only 3 months! But I got compliments from other dentists about the skill he has, «your Ortho has some hands on him» was what I heard every time a professional saw my smile & braces. Not many perform this treatment, he does & excels in it. One dentist in particular studied & went to school w the creator of Lingual braces & said Dr. Hakim blows his application out of the water! So if you’re considering visiting w him, do it! His team is great & assistants (Roger is my favorite) are so passionate about getting results. Dr. Hakim & his team continued to see me & keep my braces on well after the treatment & payments were dated to end, no mediocre results only perfection & for that I’m grateful.

I honestly cannot commend Dr. Hakim and his staff highly enough. They are so kind, so accommodating, and so generous. I’m an Australian living in Los Angeles, currently nearing the end of orthodontic work and about six weeks away from returning home to have my braces taken off. Because I moved, it’s been four months since I last got to see my orthodontist (my dad) in person. A small issue arose about which I was worried, so I called Orthospaceship and they brought me in and helped me out without hesitation. Honestly, I was so moved by how kind everyone was to me, even though I’m not their regular patient. The practice is amazing and will particularly engage the imaginations of kids. Getting my teeth done has never felt so fun! Thanks so much to Dr. Hakim and his brilliant team for going above and beyond. You’re all wonderful and I truly appreciate it! xxx.

If you have TMJ issues, jaw issues, bite issues (open bite) these guys are the experts in LA. They DO NOT accept insurance and they are upfront about it. I wasted so much time and money going on in-​network consultations just to be told «there’s something really messed up with you but we don’t know exactly what, here’s what I guess will help.» If I hadn’t persisted and accepted the first or even second opinion, I would have gone through expensive and painful procedures that ignored the root cause of my problem. Dr Hakim was the first to say «oh I know what this is, exactly how to treat it, and exactly why the treatment will work».

Great orthodontist. Very professional and skilled. He was honest and up front with me and did not mislead me about my treatment. He delivered on his promise. I would recommened Dr. Hakim to anyone that needs orthodontic treatment.

First of all, let me start by saying that Dr. Hakim is freakin’ awesome!!! He has been my orthodontist since I was in High School (10 years or so). I wore braces for almost 4 years during High School. Before Dr. Hakim My teeth were extremely crooked and overlapped. He did wonders and made my smile the most beautiful and confident ever!
Last year, I contacted him again for an evaluation and he was happy to assist me and treat my shifting teeth again. I had never wore my retainers after I got my perfect teeth straightened 10 yrs ago (as everyone should know, we don’t follow instructions)…
This time my parents weren’t going to pay, so I had to pay to get my teeth to where they were. So, I invested on myself. He immediately started the treatment with me. Took samples of my crooked teeth for new retainers and «before» pictures to compare with the outcome.
In every visit he would always take his time to explain to me what my progress was like. The treatment that I paid for was a 10 month– period. Guess what happened after that period? (for those who like to complain a lot?)…He kept seeing me for an extra 2 months for FREE, because he had promised me my teeth would be straight again in less time if I would were my retainers everyday… (And i didn’t) As we all know, that is almost impossible. So, it was my responsibility to wear them as much as possible. Not his fault. I am an adult right… Duh!
So I started to wear them as prescribed. All the time!
Finally, last week was my last visit (sniff) (sniff)… Dr. Hakim took his time to ask for my academic goals, he always remembered our conversations, because he is an amazing human being and cares for all his patients well being!
Lolita one of the employees was extremely friendly and very heartwarming took my «after» pictures to compare the progress made. She even compliment on my whitening that I had previously made. She was always very attentive.
Teresa, the receptionist, she was always very nice and polite when it came to reschedule every appointment. I felt bad one time for canceling an appointment due to my severe strep throat right before my appointment time. She never charged me a fee for doing that, even thou I knew she could. She understood the problem and followed days later to check on my health and also to reschedule my new appointment. She is super nice!
I had never had a single complain during all these years with Dr. Hakim. The staff is always very friendly, and the office is clean and fun to be around.
I love the fact that he makes it fun for all kids no matter the age!
I truly love his work, and is highly recommended him among my family and friends. He also had treated my brother, Pedro, and my cousin, Daniel.
Besides being a Dr. he also teaches Medicine at a University! What else can go wrong?.. I wrote this review to gratefully thank him for the amazing job he has done to my beautiful smile. I am now more confident with all my teeth perfectly aligned and a strong bite!
And for those looking for the best orthodontist, look no more! Dr. Hakim will take care of your needs!
Don’t let a bad review fool you…
Come and visit him and found out for yourself!

7 out of 10 practitioners said I needed surgery to correct my underbite. Dr. Hakim said he could correct it without surgery and he was absolutely right. I got my braces off today and my smile looks great and my bite feels wonderful. Thank you Dr. Hakim!

Although I had my braces for almost double the time I was told I would have them on for (I’m sure I was also a contributing factor), they turned out great!
Dr. Hakim is a brilliant dentist and knows his stuff! His staff is also very very nice and attentive to you and your needs. Roger and Julisa (sp?) are great! Dr Hakim sometimes is a little too serious (lol) but he’s a sweet man and really cares about his patients, and their teeth. He’s pretty much worked on all my siblings; from my two older sisters, to mine and now my two younger sisters, so he must be good then right?! Hah
Thanks Orthospaceship!

I have to say I was initially skeptical when Dr Hakim told me that my 7 yr old needed all kinds of orthodontics. I came in for a retainer to push just one tooth back that seemed to be jutting out a bit. After many conversations with Lourdes (office manager) and the dentist who referred me I was less skeptical and decided to do what Dr Hakim suggested. Almost a year later I am thrilled with what he did with my sons jaw, mouth and teeth. Moving things around when children are growing gets great results fast. Which means less money and time later on. Orthodontics are not about just moving teeth. If that is your only issue he will send you away and tell you to come back when your child is eleven or twelve.
I am so thankful that I found this office. I would recommend anyone to come in and have Dr Hakim take a look!

My daughter’s braces broke whilst we were traveling through LA on a very long overseas vacation. We found Dr Hakim through Unilocal and our hotel concierge. We are grateful for fitting us in at such short notice. Very efficient, professional, polite and friendly staff.

We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Hakim. We trusted him from day 1. He and his staff were professional and respectful at all times. We really liked Dr. Hakim’s approach to our childrens’ jaw growth and tooth placement. He listened to our needs and concerns and was always responsive. Dr. Hakim and his staff were easy to work with from scheduling appointments to billing, etc. And our son’s teeth look amazing! We would definitely recommend Dr. Hakim.

The office is currently refusing to reimburse the money I paid in full to receive my scam «treatment»
The office had me pay upfront for my treatment and lied to me when I asked if they got any reimbursement from my insurance company. The office got reimbursement from my insurance January 2015 and is refusing to give money back seven months later in July 2015.
This is not OK by any means

I discovered Dr. Hakim through Unilocal and loved the before and after pictures posted on the website. Dr. Hakim and his staff are a joy to be around. They are professional, attentive, and in happy moods each time I go in. I have lingual braces and have had no issues. I would definitely recommend Dr. Hakim. Plus, the office is space themed and the ceiling has the galaxy painted on it, doesn’t get cooler than that.

What a great place this is! Dr. Hakim predicted the entire process would last two years, and he was right! And my son’s teeth are perfect! The process was painless except for maybe slight discomfort the evenings after a visit. My son felt engaged in the process and actually looked forward to the visits. He delighted in «designing» his retainer at the end. The appointments were always right on time and the front office was great at working with my schedule. Once I even showed up a week early by mistake and they were able to work me in. Dr. Hakim and his technicians were patient, explained every step thoroughly, and were very gentle. Everything about this office and Dr. Hakim is top of the line, professional, and I highly recommend them.

Worth the Wait!!!
I am an adult that needed braces … Let’s just say not my cutest few years on this earth but my smile and teeth have NEVER looked better!
It took a little longer than expected but if that means my teeth and smile look this good … Then it’s worth the wait!
Dr Hakim knows his stuff! He is an amazing doctor and is very easy to talk to and share concerns and gives great advice!
Roger, his technician is my favorite technician. He also knows his stuff … VERY thorough, communicative and nice!
The office is always clean and has updated software. This is a major plus for me! It is always important to see that a doctor has continued education and stays ahead of the curve!
Thank you Dr. Hakim & staff for my beautiful smile & for fixing my TMJ!!!

Excellent Orthodontist
I have been referring my patients to Doctor Isaac Hakim for over thirty years, and I know him to be extremely accomplished in his specialty. The results that he obtains are always first class and I have great confidence in recommending him to others.
Dr Hakim is a university faculty member and past president of the Beverly Hills Academy of Dentistry. If you or someone you know and love need teeth straightened I suggest you consider Dr Hakim.

This is, hands down, the most amazing orthodontist I have ever encountered. I work in the dental field, so I have encountered many.
Originally I went to Dr Hakim at the urging of my boss, Kourosh Maddahi, DDS, to see what could be done cosmetically for my overbite.
I started out thinking I could do Invisalign and it would be a long but simple road to perfect teeth.
When I arrived Dr Hakim took the time to explain all of my options and suggested actual braces to quickly resolve and correctly handle my overbite as well as the clenching problem that it creates, which ruins my sleep.
I swallowed the unpalatable pill of having to wear actual braces and decided to go with his most highly recommended route. I figure 1.5 years is a small price to pay for orthodontic perfection.
I’m glad I have. The braces don’t have bands. They’re the latest kind that snap the wire into place rather than needing rubber bands to hold them. They have clear and metal options. I was happy when he was able to do a majority of the brackets clear. I started seeing results immediately and every month I can see my teeth shifting to the desired position. I already get compliments from friends and family about how great my teeth look.
Dr Hakim and his staff are friendly and competent. I absolutely recommend them to any and everyone who would like Invisalign or braces.

I have known Dr. Hakim since 1990 and I refer all of my friends and family to his office. It feels like yesterday I had my braces removed because there is not a day that goes by that someone gives me a compliment my teeth… Thank you for for gracing me with a life time of compliments.

Dr. Hakim is a fantastic orthodontist. Not only is he a specialist on orthodontics but also a TMJ expert. That means he will straighten teeth to there most stable jaw joint position Nothing arbitrary here, just beautiful techniques and science that create the most pleasing smile and function.
That is why I have my 13 year old daughter seeing him. I am a dentist and I can say not all orthodontists are alike. Dr Hakim creates a full, beautiful smile, consistently, as I have observed on my patients, over the past 5 years. Well done Dr Hakim!
