Patient Reviews
"I got my appointment in August 2024, started my treatment end of September for 19 months. I am satisfied with the result! As an adult, I had a little space between my 2 front teeth and he fixed it! Dr David Rad was really patient with me with all my questions! I did not expect it but they still follow you after the treatment. It hurts but it worth it! I regretted not doing it before because it's more complicated as an adult but at least now I have a new smile and everyone around me are like "Wow!" :). Thank you very much for your kindness and carefulness!"
"We love Dr.Rad very informative and great employees"
"Love Love Love Dr. Rad and staff! We have 2 sets of braces and one Invisalign. Quick service, we never have to wait! Very knowledgeable and always available to speak to us! I highly recommend Rad Orthodontics!"
"Professionalism, compassionate, cleanliness and a friendly atmosphere are a few choice words that I can confidently use to describe Rad Orthodontics and the staff. Every visit we have had we are updated on plans, process, procedures by our Dentist and the assistants. My daughter had her braces removed and the result is amazing. Thank you Rad Orthodontics. I highly recommend this establishment without reservations."
"Excellent staff! Everyone is very professional and hospitable. Efficient with time management and communication. I have two two children being attended to by Rad Orthodontics and our experiences have been amazing!!!"
"Awesome service by Dr Rad and his Team!!!"
"My son has been going to Rad Orthodontics for over 5 years now. Dr. Rad and his staff did a great job with fixing his underbite. They are always happy, polite and friendly. I am very happy with everything. Yesterday, we went to see Dr. Rad to see if my son is ready for Invisalign. Lam was very thorough and took a great scan of my son’s teeth. After Dr. Rad checked out my son’s teeth, he did not recommend Invisalign as my son’s jaw is still changing. I appreciate that he prefers us to wait and not rush to start treatment right away when it is not needed."
"My experience with Rad Orthodontics has been great! The location is close to my job so I can pop in for a midday appointment. And once I arrive, I am seen promptly. Then, I'm out the door on my way back to work within a reasonable amount of time. As a busy professional, this is the perfect solution to my orthodontic needs!"
"As an adult with prior partial braces decades ago, I was looking for mild to moderate adjustments and Rad Orthodontics was great! The remote scanning concept was perfect for me even though the Scanbox contraption was awful. I just used the cheek retractor which was good enough. Efficient and accessible, Lum was my primary provider and he was excellent in monitoring my scans and responding to my questions. He was always courteous and professional - a real asset to the group! Overall, the office is well run and they all work smoothly together. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!"
"So far everything has been such a nice experience with truly the most pleasant staff!! Super happy I switched to Rad for my Invisalign treatment!"

"I take my son to see Dr. David Rad for malocclusion and is very happy with the services provided by Dr. Rad and his office. Everyone is friendly, competent, and responsive to our needs. The staff is responsive to my request. Just this morning, my HSA requested more documentation. I called Dr. Rad's office and got the assistance I needed right away.Updated: 07/18/25I have taken my both my son Jason and daughter Julie Dr. Rad. My son is about to go Phase 2 with braces or Invisalign. My daughter did her evaluation recently and was told that she could wait for another 1 year to see if she needs treatment.Every time we visited, everyone was friendly, explain everything thoroughly. This is a the best office for Orthodontics. Dr. Rad is amazing and has a great personality."
"Dr. Rad offers great services to his orthodontic clients! I found his clinic's information on Google and set up an initial appointment. I had no idea how professional, caring, and thoughtful the staff would be. First of all, the consultation appointment was free which was amazing because they did all of the needed x-rays/pictures for my teeth. And then after the appointment they gave me a detailed explanation of which services I needed. Based on my experience, I highly recommend this clinic for youth and/or adults."
"The entire team at Rad has been amazing at both Potomac Village and Bethesda location. My teenage son started Invisalign treatment last Spring, and he saw both Dr. Rad. They have been very supportive! The process has been very pleasing. We would definitely recommend Rad Orthodontics for everyone who needs professional dental care."
"Both kids have gone here for treatment, one with Invisalign complete and one with braces recently removed. The doctors RAD are always very responsive and happy to hop on a quick call to address concerns. We have been very happy with the treatments, the customer service, and overall environment in the offices."
"Eveyone at Rad is amazing! My 2nd time getting treated here and i have recommended 2 people to them. I would go back any time! The staff is amazing. Dr. Rad & Sierra were always the highlight of my visit."

They were friendly, explained how she must care for her braces, and let her know that they’re available to support her. The office is bright and cheery. I highly recommend the practice for orthodontic services! Thanks Rad!"
"Dr. Mehdy Rad and his team took amazing care of me during my Invisalign treatment! Dr. Rad did a great job of explaining all of my options and then letting me choose the route I was most comfortable. I was really worried I would be in pain and it would take forever, but somehow it was quick and painless. Dr. Rad’s team even went the extra mile and shipped my last set of retainers across the country when I moved. I really appreciate all of their hard work. Thank you everyone!! 🙏"
"You will not find a better orthodontist office than Rad! I never leave reviews, but couldn’t resist in this case. They are fabulous!"
"Dr. Rad and his exceptional team provided an outstanding orthodontic experience for me, a 50-year-old completing a treatment, as well as for my two children. The level of care, state-of-the-art techniques, kindness, and service is truly commendable, instilling confidence in patients of all ages. While perhaps not crucial to the excellent final result of the treatment, the fact that appointments always start on time is impressive, especially considering that Dr. Rad makes you feel the center of his attention and that he has unlimited time for you. Highly recommend for anyone seeking top-notch orthodontic treatment."
"I can’t recommend Dr. Dave Rad enough. He’s an excellent orthodontist who pays attention to detail and aims to have top results. He’s also a really nice person. Everyone at the office is highly competent and professional. I was a patient for two years and have come in for a couple of follow up visits. Every time, it’s been A+. I wouldn’t hesitate."
"I had a great experience in Rad Orthodontics, Highly recommended!!!"
"Brought my son in for a consult. It was determine that he most likely wouldn't need braces until middle school. I appreciated that RAD was very honest in the consult assessment and didn't try to push unnecessary services."
"Every office experience is top notch. Dr. Rad is always on time and the whole staff is friendly, helpful, patient and kind. Mhalli and Delese are exceptional and incredibly helpful when it comes to dealing with insurance and the checkout prcoess. Highly recommend the practice!"
"We have an Autistic child and switched to this practice when we needed to start braces (for the second time). Ortho visits are extremely challenging for our kid and the RAD hygienists are incredibly patient and kind, explain every step, treated our kid like a human being, and did not bat an eyelash at sensory issues, etc. Only as the parent of child with disabilities can you understand how much this matters."

"As a "grown up," I wondered how I would be treated at Rad where they provide care for lots of kids. They could not have been more professional and efficient! I was greeted right away and provided with clear information at every step. The technicians offered excellent customer service and the orthodonist clearly explained the proposed course of treatment. For me that was Invisialign, and within two weeks I had my first set of trays. I would heartily recommend Rad to anyone who is considering orthodontics - even those, like me, who are making the decision later in life!"
"I am extremely satisfied with Dr. Rad and his team! My case was not easy as I had an underbite and a small top jaw. Dr. Rad had prepared me for the surgery, referred me to an excellent oral surgeon, prepared documentation for my insurance company, and straightened all my teeth! The entire team was great and always addressed any concerns and questions I had along the way. I could not be luckier! Thank you, Dr. Rad!"
"I had a great experience with Rad Orthodontics in Bethesda. I was someone who opted for braces/invisalign later in life, and they really made the entire process easy for me. I worked with both Dr. Mehdi and David Rad during my 14 months of treatment. They were friendly and informative during each visit. All of the techs who work there also deserve praise, especially Ligia, who was extremely helpful in helping me obtain a new "at-night" retainer after it cracked. I'm happy I finally fixed my smile & chose to go with Rad Orthodontics."
"Dr. Rad and his entire staff are the best! They are extremely friendly and welcoming! My girls fell in love with how kind and easy going there initial appointment went! Dr. Rad has great communication skills with both parents and children too! He really went above and beyond explaining the entire process with both my girls and allowed them time to ask questions, share concerns and just overall made them feel heard! He was very confident in his ability to make my girls smile even more perfect and because of this and much more I highly recommend Dr. Rad and his offices to all parents and children looking for the best Ortho in the DMV!"
"I had a fantastic experience! The staff is welcoming and helpful, and Dr. Mehdy Rad's bedside manner is outstanding. He answered my questions and walked me through the process of removing my wires. He also took great care to remove all glue residue, which I appreciate. My wire removal definitely was a highlight of my week! :)"

"After considering Invisalign treatments for the past 3 years I finally decided take the first step and schedule an appointment. The scheduling team at Rad Orthodontics are incredible super friendly and very informative. It was quick and easy scheduling my complimentary consultation, in no more than 3 minutes my appointment was booked for next week. With the current pandemic and being a new patient I thought I’d had to wait months before I could come in. I am very shocked and excited that I have an appointment less than a week away. The Scheduling team provided me with a wonderful experience from the first phone call! I can’t wait to officially become a part of the Rad Family !!"

You will always feel good about the advice, treatment, and the services you are receiving from them. If looking for the best, and doctors you can truly trust, I highly recommend this practice.

He’s literally the best and always makes me feel super comfortable even when I know I could be a better patient and wear my Invisalign more consistently (LOL). If you are looking for efficiency, honesty, and results, this is the place for you to get a better & brighter smile!!

I drive over 40 minutes just to have such a positive experience every time so thanks again for your consistency & kindness ! :)"
"Look no further! Dr. Rad and his staff are hands down the best in the DMV. They work hard to make sure their patients have the best experience.

"Dr Rad is a miracle worker! He gets perfect results and minimizes your time in treatment. He has treated 3 members of our family and we couldn't be more pleased with both the process and the outcome. Getting your desired appointment time is easy and the office runs efficiently and on-time. We were able to easily work around the kids' school and sports schedules with Dr Rad's afternoon hours. There is a convenient parking lot with plenty of available spaces right beside the office and it's just a block from Bethesda Row if you want to pop over after your appointment."

"Doctor Rad and his entire staff are wonderful. I was referred by a specialist in order to correct my bite to treat and relive TMD symptoms.Dr. Rad used state of the art equipment to create a treatment plan. I was fortunate that the phase one portion was only slightly more than 6 months. I’m now in maintenance phase, wearing retainers.The approach to treatment coupled with the latest technology put me at ease. Every step was simple with no discomfort. Each person that worked with me was friendly and talked me through what was happening during each visit.-Michele B., Bethesda"
"I highly recommend Rad Orthodontics at Bethesda, MD, this is the office I go to. Both Dr. Rads are amazing. They are very personable and they really have their patients' interests in mind. Every staff member is very friendly and thoughtful. I have great experience every time I go and I feel well cared for. I really can't recommend them enough!"
"Super awesome incredible job!!!! I love my fantastic results. I highly recommend Rad Orthodontics!"
"Rad Orthodontics was recommended to me by my dentist. I truly do not have enough nice things to say about Dr. David and his staff in the Bethesda office. Having braces as an adult is challenging as is, and the staff at Rad Orthodontics made it as easy as possible on me with flexible appointment times and a realistic approach to my treatment."
"I highly recommend Rad Orthodontics at Bethesda, MD. Their staff is extremely welcoming and professional. I’m very happy with my results thus far and I’m happy I chose Rad Orthodontics for Invisalign treatment."
"Best orthodontist in Maryland. I randomly found Rad Orthodontics on google and picked it because of its close location to the University of Maryland. When I missed my appt, they were so accommodating and found me an appt for later in the day in Bethesda. The staff and dentists that work at Rad are beyond what you could hope for - incredibly friendly, caring, and positive. The dentist is very professional yet kind and funny. The atmosphere is fantastic. I hated the dentist growing up, so I walked into Rad for my appt a little bit pessimistic. This experience changed my mind. Go to Rad! It's seriously the best."
"Everyone here is SO wonderful, nice, and professional. Everything is super clean and the decor is very modern, fresh, and stylish. The reception to the dental staff is nothing but helpful, cordial, and knowledgeable. There's no dilly-dallying around, and I really felt like the patients come first in every way. Their sign-in process is straight-forward and smooth, and they are very organized. They offer complimentary coffee. I don't usually write reviews, but everything here is SO stellar, that it really is hard (and a shame) to not celebrate it (especially considering how awful service and customer service can be in other places). Thank you Dr. David and Dr. Mehdy for putting good into the world through your expertise and amazing practice. :)"
"We love Dr. Rad! Clean, open office, friendly staff, easy to get appointments, and they know what they're doing to get your teeth straight! I highly recommend them. :-)"
"I'm a student in DC who's not from the area, and so when my permanent metal retainer broke off from one my teeth I had to scramble to find an orthodontist who could help me. Rad Orthodontist was suggested to me by a family friend, and when I called they were able to get me an appointment for that same day. The office is very nice, with a modern and clean look. The staff were all wonderful and very kind, making me feel comfortable and welcome despite it being my first visit. In less than 15 minutes I was all done, with my retainer glued back on. Dr. David Rad was great, a really nice guy, and very easy to talk to. If I ever have any other dental complications I will definitely be returning here. I highly recommend this office, an overall very positive experience."
"Thank you Dr. M. Rad for this great experience in your office. I'm new in this area and came with a broken retainer. The staff and doctor are really friendly in a warm atmosphere. After a knowledigbale professional chat with Dr. Rad the retainer has been fixt quickly.I will definitely latest come back when my kids need professional orthodontic treatment, too. I highly recommend this office."
"Always love seeing Dr. Rad and team!"
"So far it is my second appointment and I like going back. The office is super clean, the staff is so friendly and very helpful. No wait time, even though there are plenty of patients. I have been hesitant to get Invisalign aligners and Dr. David Rad and his team made the whole process so easy, visually explaning the process and going through the details. Felt very comfortable committing to it and looking forward to the results. The appointments have been a breeze, everyone is so prepared, organized and professional. Have already recommended to couple of friends"
"My daughter and I are both patients of the Rad brothers and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone. Dr. David, Dr. Mehdy and the staff at College Park are knowledgable, professional and show genuine care for their patients. They take time to explain every step of the process. Their innovative treatments have made my second time in braces a breeze! RAD2 Orthodontics are the best!"
"Highly recommended - Mehdy Rad and David Rad are highly skilled at what they do. Professional environment, extremely knowledgeable staff, and my smile turned out impeccable - GRATEFUL!"
"Initially I was nervous about getting braces, but the staff here is welcoming and made me feel at ease. During my visits Dr.Rad and the staff answered my questions and adressed concerns. Today I got my braces off and I'm extremely pleased with my smile. I'm so so glad I chose Rad Orthodontics."
"Highly recommend! After I introduced myself, Dr. Rad immediately remembered what I was there for, which impressed me. The office is bright and cheerful and the staff was friendly. (Also, he took care of what I needed in less than 10 minutes, after I was turned down by 2 other orthodontist offices)"
