I can’t recommend this Dr Erica and the team highly enough. From my very first consultation through to the completion of my teeth alignment, the level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail was outstanding.The team took the time to explain every step of the alignment process clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout. The treatment itself was smooth, well-managed, and far less daunting than I had expected.What really stood out was how friendly and reassuring everyone was — it genuinely felt like they cared about getting the best possible outcome, not just rushing through appointments. The results have exceeded my expectations, and I’m absolutely delighted with my new smile.A first-class practice with skilled clinicians, modern facilities, and excellent patient care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering teeth alignment
Dr Rayza is absolutely brilliant, as pleasant an experience as it’s possible to get at the dentist!

The team at the Smilepod clinic is Soho, Dr Ana Maria Mackinnon, Dr Stevie Nkansah, Uli Nascimento and Tiger Spencer all contributed hugely to not only giving me a smile I'm finally happy to share but also helped with massive nervousness on dentists visits. From chats with Tiger as I waited, to Dr Ana explaining my options, to Uli being as gentle as she could with my neglected teeth to Dr Stevie giving me a brand new smile. I cannot recommend this team more, truly outstanding service!!!!!
Response from the owner: Dear JobyThank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that our team, Ana, Stevie, Uli, and Tiger, were able to make your experience comfortable and help you achieve a smile you’re proud to share.

I had metal braces with Dr Raj 5 yrs ago. They are a very thorough team. Always accommodate last minute/emergency apponintments. I do need some further treatment and if I lived closer by I would definitely go back to them.

Had my InvisAlign treatment with Dr Erica, and couldn't be happier with the results! I had no idea it would make such a difference to my teeth, my smile. I am sure this is due to Dr Erica's professionalism, care and attention to detail. I've seen many disappointing results with Invisalign - it all depends on the orthodontist. I get loads of compliments on my teeth' transformation, and have been asked to share Dr Erica's contacts. Couldn't recommend her enough!
Response from the owner: Dear Karina,Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear you’re delighted with your Invisalign results and that Dr Erica’s care and attention made such a difference. Your kind words and recommendations mean a lot to us!Kind regardsAgnieszka WyrostekSmilepod
