Dr Tartakow is absolutely amazing he’s so knowledgeable and insightful. His staff is so amazing ( shout out to Leigh and Suzy) to my son they are thoughtful careful and gentle with children and they understand the anxiety that can come with dental work. I don’t I have the words to express my gratitude for all they have done to correct my son teeth.. My son looks forward to his visit and never complains about the adjustments! Big bonus they are super affordable we got several other opinions and we realized that Dr Tartakow had the best option and affordability out of all the other orthodontist

Great experience - they are very knowledgeable and professional -- staff is very personable and friendly, felt very comfortable. The equipment there is new and top of the line. The TVs above the chair made the appointment fly by without even noticing the clock -- no more staring at the ceiling bored!
Look forward to going back.

My son is a patient at Orthodontic Center of Santa Monica and we love it there. Dr. Tartakow and his staff are absolutely amazing! He’s very knowledgeable and honest. Scheduling an appointment was fast and easy. They’re very accommodating and they worked with my insurance which was great! I visited several orthodontist before and none provided us with that one on one attention. I’ve told all my friends and family about Dr. Tartakow. If your looking for an awesome orthodontist in Santa Monica contact them.

I went into Dr. Tartakow's office seeking a consultation to address concerns with current treatment from a different provider.
The staff was friendly and quick, and took complimentary X-rays. After diligently listening to my concerns, Dr. Tartakow made it clear that things were actually going quite well. He actually recommended that I stay with my current provider because they are doing a great job on my case, and I have to commend him on the up-front and un-biased opinion, and for taking the time to have an in-depth clinical discussion when I was not even a patient to put my mind at ease.

Edit 2: Dr. Tartakow explained that there was a misunderstanding and was kind enough to provide reimbursement as well as a CD of my X-rays to keep. :)
Edit: The X-rays were not as free as I thought! I recently had to get an X-ray at my new general dentist and they showed me that this office charged my insurance for the exam already. I'm new to having insurance so I wasn't aware that I could only have one X-ray covered every year and a half or so. Luckily, my new dentist was kind enough to waive the fee for me! I just wish Dr. Tartakow would have been more transparent...
