About

Dr. Syed Omar Aziz Rizvi

There are orthodontists who straighten teeth, and then there is Dr. Syed Omar Aziz Rizvi — a clinician who transforms lives.

A Fellow of the World Federation of Orthodontists and holder of a Master of Dental Surgery in Orthodontics from Rajiv Gandhi University, Dr. Omar brings over a decade of world-class clinical expertise to every patient who walks through his door at Ar Rawdah International Hospital in Dammam, Saudi Arabia.

His journey began with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 2009 — where he was awarded Subject Topper for the Highest Marks in Pedodontics — a distinction that foreshadowed the academic excellence that would define his career. He went on to complete his Masters in Orthodontics in 2013, and in 2015, sought advanced Clear Aligner certification in the United States.

Dr. Omar is not merely a practitioner — he is a researcher, a published author, and an international speaker who has presented at orthodontic summits across India and beyond. His research on laser irradiation in orthodontics and innovative appliance design has been published in peer-reviewed journals.

“My strength lies in my approach to the patient, which is 'Value Addition' — helping them leave not just with healthier teeth, but with a genuinely better life.”

But what truly sets Dr. Omar apart — what his patients write about on the testimonial wall in his clinic — is something no degree can teach: the ability to make a person feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. Patients from Saudi Arabia, India, the Philippines, and across the expatriate community in Dammam have trusted him with their smiles.
