Center Family Orthodontics

Outstanding, honest practice with a friendly, professional staff and charming environment. We went in for an orthodontic consult and Dr. Vassiliou told us our son didn't even need orthodontics but would instead benefit from a cosmetic dentistry procedure (something their practice doesn't do). There were no referrals or mention of other dentists until I asked when checking out, which tells me they are the first 100% honest dental practice I've ever come across. Dr. Vassiliou's consult was thorough and relaxed, and we feel highly confident in her assessment and advice. The environment is super warm and upbeat; the waiting area has a fireplace mantel, small baskets of giveaways and even a "guess how many pumpkin candies in a jar" contest. Our experience was exceptionally positive and I highly recommend Dr. Vassiliou and her team for honest, friendly and relaxing family dental treatment.

We had started at this practice when it was still owned by Dr. Fischman. Unfortunately my child was still a patient when he retired. The orthodontist that took over the practice is extremely unprofessional. I was shocked at the way she treated my child and her unwillingness to talk with us when we reached out to try to resolve the issue.

The office staff are amazing - always kind, helpful and accommodating. Both my daughters enjoy coming. She gets her tickets at each visit and looks forward to not only a wonderful smile but a gift card of voice at the end. Thank you Dr. Fischman’ office for a great ongoing experiment!

Being a former patient myself since Dr. Fischman began his career, and now having two of my children as current patients I can attest to his professionalism and sincere compassion and care for his patients. He takes care to explain the process and the benefits vs downsides if any to anything being done. The clinical staff demonstrate a professionalism and empathy as well as precision in assisting and providing care. I highly recommend him as the one to chose for your child, or adult !

Dr. Fishman and his friendly staff have taken care of both of my kid's teeth. One with traditional braces and the other with Invisalign. From the fish tank in the waiting area and the "Fishbucks" program to encourage the kids to take care of their teeth to the care from the dental technicians and Dr. Fischman himself, we've always been pleased with the experience. They've been accommodating with the scheduling issues that inevitably arise. My daughter is now several years past having her braces removed and her teeth still look great. If you are looking for an children's orthodontist in the Greater Hartford/West Hartford area, you should schedule a consultation with this practice.
