Kaufman Orthodontics
The fun and fulfilment I get from helping people and their smiles makes me excited to be a part of this Rochester NY community. Giving people something to smile about is my passion, and I promise you the personalized attention your smile deserves. Whether it's Mendon Ponds or the High Peaks of the Adirondacks, I love to travel and explore new places.

One of the most memorable experiences I've had was a rare opportunity to join a medical team backpacking through the Himalayan Mountains delivering much-needed care to isolated villages. Studies have shown that lasting impressions are made within three seconds of seeing someone's smile. Those with straight teeth are 21% more likely to be seen as happy and 47% more healthy!

My third child getting braces at this practice. Excellent experience as always!
This time it was during Covid, and we were somewhat apprehensive about it. The office took every precaution, putting our minds completely at ease.

Very friendly and reassuring office! Dr Lazzara and the staff work hard to fix smiles all while making sure you and your child are comfortable, explaining every step of the way whether it’s a consultation or procedure.

After a long haul Dr Lazzara removed my braces today. When I got my braces at 54 yrs of age I thought it was crazy. Dr Lazzara is a perfectionist and kept saying “a little more” and I am not disappointed! I waited a long time for a beautiful smile and I couldn’t be happier. Such a wonderful experience.

Had my appointment today to finally get my braces on. I was super excited but also nervous going in to it.
Well, there was definitely no reason to be nervous! I had a blast with Dr. Lazzara and Kaylee! I think I spent almost the entire appointment laughing lol. Thankfully, it didn't seem to mess Kaylee up too much 🤣
Definitely recommend them if you're looking for an Orthodontist!

I recently had a permanent retainer break that I've had since I got my braces off about 7 years ago. I no longer live near my old orthodontist, so I was afraid it'd be difficult to get an appointment with a new one. I called and explained my situation, and the office staff were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. When I expressed my concern that my teeth were already shifting, they got me an appointment as soon as possible. When I arrived for my appointment, they removed the broken retainer and put in a new one quickly and efficiently!

From the moment we walked in, the staff put my 8 year old son at ease. Janet showed him all around and was so friendly and helpful. Dr. Kaufman listened carefully to my son’s concerns and explained everything carefully, in a way he could understand, yet not talking down to him. The staff came up with a plan and communicated every step of the… process. Liza was also amazing with my son when we decided to begin Phase 1 of his care right away. I’m proud of my son for being brave but I give so much of the credit to the staff at Kaufman Orthodontics. They truly create a stress free

New trays today and I'm in the home stretch! I'm going to miss seeing these people when I'm all done. Once again a great visit. The level of care here is amazing. Bree did a great job removing my attachments and putting new ones on. Thanks again!

Having braces is not something one usually looks forward to however this is not the case when receiving braces from Dr. Kaufman. From the moment you walk into his immaculately decorated sports themed office you are greeted by his friendly staff who go out of their way to make you feel at home and comfortable. I always looked forward to my appointments because I loved getting hot chocolate, playing video games, reading, or admiring all the sports memorabilia. Dr K was extremely polite and we always had a nice conversation. The staff as well was extremely friendly, outgoing, and personable. Dr.

Been coming here for many years and have had a few treatments done. Dr. K and the staff are always welcoming and professional. Appointments are prompt and easy. I have always loved my smile results. I'd say Dr. Kaufman is one, if not the best orthodontist in the Rochester area!

When I tell others about Kaufman's, I describe Kaufman's as a "Well oiled machine" . Always a pleasant experience!

I wanted to wait a little while before I wrote my review so that I could thoroughly think about the yearlong process I went through. Also, I wanted to get used to my "new" teeth and see some photos to decide how I felt about getting braces (particularly as an adult) and to let anyone who is thinking about it what the ups and downs are. I got my braces off about a month ago and I am currently wearing a removable, clear retainer for a while. (Side note; I can't tell you how many of my friends either spoke about themselves or their kids and said they wished they wore the retainer like

I was very happy with Dr. Kaufman's office and my daughter loves her straight teeth! I was very happy with the way they treated my family and they always made sure we understood what was going to happen and how my daughter should take care of her teeth while she was in braces. I was very happy with Dr. Kaufman's office. We checked out a few orthodontists before we started her treatment and we felt like Dr. Kaufman would be the best choice based on his active learning and using the newest technology which seemed the most effective and efficient.

Dr Kaufman is a great orthodontist. He and his staff are wonderful. Its a super fun place with guitars on the walls and a game room. The best thing is that when he takes the braces off the teeth, they look awesome. I would highly recommend Dr Kaufman to anyone in the area.
