I got to Dr Milbergs office after getting a recommendation from a dentist, it was my 3rd visit at orthodontist and I felt the difference as soon as I walked through the door, every single office member smiled at me with care. As Sara walked me through the process and possible ways of treatment, check ups and more questions, Dr Laura came in to hear my thought and concerns and made sure I understood how things are working clearing all my doubts, and giving me the courage and confidence in the process wether I decided to move forward with them or not ( I was getting estimates for braces ). For finals I met Branka the office manager, explained more about the process and expectations, finance plans and cost of the treatment, while doing that patiently and professionally. I can't explain why, but the way they treated me made me feel that each and every person there cared about me as a person and not just a number. I got to meet Dr Diane for consultation- you can tell when you see someone who knows what they are doing and talking about, without making the end customer feel clueless. I'm happy I got to Dr Milbergs office and would definitely recommend to visit them for any reason. read more

I received the most honest feedback regarding my 6 year old with crooked teeth growing in. I can not say how much relief I felt after meeting with Diane Milberg. Her entire staff was so warm, it felt like we have known them for years! I would recommend Dr. Milberg to ANYONE, not to mention they are really great for our community, which I fully support! LOVE THEM!!! Amy read more

Written by my daughter, who was the patient here: Anyone who has worked with Dr. Milberg or Dr. Laura knows that they really are the best! Dr. Milberg (along with everyone else who works there) is truly amazing! They are all super kind and fun to be around. They put my braces on in March, and in just a about a week, I could see that my teeth had already clearly moved. My mom and I were amazed with how fast they moved! I always looked forward to going and spending time with Dr. Milberg, Dr. Laura and the others who work there. They definitely made me smile! read more

As an adult going through my second round of braces with a wedding exactly a year away, I had a very candid upfront conversation with Dr. Milberg about my need for an accelerated timeline. Throughout the entire process she listened to me and made adjustments to keep me happy while still offering her professional opinion. The entire office staff was so genuine and friendly that it got to the point where I was looking forward to my appointments just so I could chat with the ladies about the wedding. When her daughter Dr. Laura joined the practice, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that she is just as meticulous and friendly as her mom. I highly recommend Milberg Orthodontics to anyone looking looking to flaunt a perfect smile! read more

See all

Amazing staff and doctors, they did exactly what i needed and got my teeth straight faster than the two other places i has been before that practically scammed me. Would absolutely recommend. Kindest people out there read more

I came to meet with Dr. Laura for an ortho consult for myself. I was so impressed with everyone at the office. the first appointment took about an hour but she was so thorough and really took her time to explain my case and all of my options to me. Then her staff explained my insurance and finances to me for the whole process, I felt very comfortable with everything and left with all my questions answered! The staff was SO nice and the quality of care is top notch and I am so excited to see how my teeth look! read more

I was looking for a new orthodontist for my 11 year old daughter for two reasons...first, we had moved to Coronado and had contracted "island-itis" making it almost impossible to venture over the bridge and, second, I had lost my patience with the "just trust me (and pay for my kids to attend Francis Parker)" attitude of our former orthodontist. I wanted explanations! Why did my daughter need TWO sets of braces? When we were growing up, that was unheard of! I found what I was looking for in Dr. Milberg. The office got her in on the same day I called and got her a new retainer in one week. Then, after gathering former and current info on my daughter and examining her thoroughly, she took 30 minutes to explain what was going on with my daughter's teeth. Even though Dr. M confirmed the plan of our former orthodontist, I thoroughly understood the need for the second set...and, most important, so did my daughter. The office is small and runs on-time and the staff is extremely friendly. Best of all...we can walk there, putting off the need to cure our serious illness. read more

I went to Dr. Milberg's office last week by recommendation of Bobbi and Padre Dental (also nearby and fabulous0. I loved everything about my experience there starting with parking. It's easy, hassle-free and they validate parking. Next is the front office staff. Both Susie (and I believe the other lady's name is Jennifer) are friendly and upbeat. If you have anxiety related to dental stuff, this is a definite plus. The assistants were fun and personable, they even asked to see my wedding pictures haha. But I have to say Dr. Milberg takes the cake. She has a calm and sweet demeanor AND she does amazing work. She is an honest doctor and does not try to sell you things you don't absolutely need. I came to get a replacement retainer. I never have had braces. I'm sure I could benefit from them but I am really okay with my smile aside from one tooth that was crooked, but it was able to be rotated with a spring retainer. I'm sure she could have used that as an opportunity to encourage braces because they would have made a lot more money off me that way, (trust me, other places have tried) . Based on her honesty, fairness, skill and gentle/comforting demeanor, I will recommend her to anyone looking for an orthodontist. If you want to feel at ease, come to Dr. Milberg's office. :) read more

This is a review sent in by my mother in law, Mary Ellen. She is very happy with the service she received from Dr. Milberg and she asked me to post her review for her. "Hooray, today my braces were removed. 21 months ago, Dr Milberg started me on this life long dream. Now at 68, my teeth are beautiful. She and her team were wonderful. I always looked forward to my appointments. I am so pleased with the whole experience and, most of all, with the results." read more

Dr. Milberg has an excellent, well organized team that moves like clockwork. Schedule is done perfectly so nobody needs to wait for a long time. If you need to come for an emergency, they find a way to accommodate you and options for payment are available and convenient (this is not a cheap service). The team members have great connection with the kids and make the experience as pleasant as possible. I can recommend Dr. Milberg without hesitation. read more

Amazing!!! The Dr and staff are amazing!!!! I couldn't b any happier. Their work is amazing. They made daughter is so happy. read more

Diane J Milberg, DDS MSD - Orthodontists Near Me - San Diego, California

I love going to see Laura and Diane and their entire staff. They immediately make you feel so comfortable. They are super knowledgeable with so much experience you know you're in good hands. I had a huge overlap that I was self conscious about and they were able to fix it within a few months and I've never been happier! My teeth look amazing. Wouldn't trust anyone else! read more

Very happy we found the Milberg's. Starting my daughter on braces has been a dream. We appreciate their professionalism, compassion and level of care. This is priceless! read more

I have to give a SHOUT OUT!!! to Dr. Diane Milberg and everyone of the ladies at Milberg Orthodontics. I've had my braces off for a year now and it had been an amazing year of smiles. I never imagined how different it would be with the smile I have. I no longer worry about smiling and others seeing my beautiful teeth. This was made possible by a wonderful team of women. If you are looking into boosting your confidence and enjoying life with a straight smile you've found the right spot. My teeth for the first time in almost 48years are dang BEAUTIFUL!!! I cried the first time I saw them, actually for the first 30min. Thank you ladies for your time and dedication. Now I truly love my smile. read more

Wow, my experience could not more different from that of the other reviewers here. From reading some of their reviews, I am skeptical that they represent the average patient. Many of them seem downright defensive in nature, and strike an odd tone for unsolicited reviews. I wish I had taken them with a larger grain of salt before going to see Dr. Milberg. I was referred to Dr. Milberg by my dentist, a provider who has a great chair-side manner, and who has always been willing and happy to answer patients' questions. From the very first visit though, something seemed off about Dr. Milberg. Perhaps our personalities just don't mesh, but when she started complaining to me at length about another patient (who I believe is the previous negative reviewer), it seemed rather unprofessional. However, needing to get treatment for a rather complicated issue, I pushed back my reservations and booked a second appointment. The second appointment was when things got bizarre. I was asked to take some additional X-rays by one of the assistants. Over the past several years I have had numerous X-rays taken by other providers to diagnose my issue, some of which were not sent to Dr. Milberg's office. That's definitely not her fault. However, I also had a number of X-rays taken during the first visit to her office, as well as some photos. When I asked what the additional X-rays were for, the assistant seemed uncertain and had to ask another assistant, who also wasn't sure. Now perhaps the X-rays were necessary and were different from those taken before; however, I would prefer not to incur the additional radiation (even though it's fairly low-dose) and costs if it's not absolutely necessary. Perhaps Dr. Milberg knew for certain that the X-rays were necessary, but the confusion of the two assistants did not instill confidence. Towards the end of the visit, the first assistant came by with a camera, mirror, and lip pullers and told me that she was going to take some photos. I recalled having similar photos taken during the previous visit, and asked them if these were different. They told me that they couldn't find the photos, and needed to retake them. I asked if I had been charged for photos previously, and the office manager came out to let me know that I had not. I wasn't thrilled about having the photos retaken, but went along with it, and then exited to pay. While I was out in the lobby, Dr. Milberg came out and told me she needed to talk to me. She said that my demeanor was making her staff uncomfortable, and that I needed to "open my mind." At that point, I stopped her and told her that I wasn't comfortable working with a provider who was uncomfortable with a patient asking questions about his care, paid my bill, and left. I will now continue my treatment elsewhere. Obviously there are always two sides to every story, and in this case, perhaps we just did not have a good personality fit. However, I am baffled by Dr. Milberg's interaction with me. At no time was I rude, abusive, profane, etc. to her or her staff. I did not raise my voice or try to be difficult. I simply questioned a couple of procedures, as I feel is my right as a patient. Perhaps the other reviewers are more willing to go along with procedures without questioning them. In my opinion though, a willingness to answer questions and put patients at ease is essential in a dental provider, but I did not find it at this office. read more

Congratulations! You've reached the end of your search for an amazing orthodontist with Milberg Orthodontics! I just recently had my braces removed and could not. Be. Happier. Trust me, deciding to get braces as an adult was very very tough. Once I had my consultation with Dr. Diane Milberg last July, I knew I was in excellent hands. She put me at ease with any concerns I had, answering all of my questions honestly and professionally. I knew that by the end of my journey, I would be incredibly satisfied with the result. Dr. Milberg and her brilliant daughter, Dr. Laura Rein are not only thoughtful in the decisions they make about your straightening your teeth, correcting your bite, etc., but they're also striving for a beautiful appearance. I can finally regain the confidence I had lost, now that I'm not self conscious of my smile. And I owe it to Dr. Milberg & Dr. Rein. A really smart investment on my part, if I don't say so myself! I have to mention the office environment itself, because it's wonderful! I loved the welcoming vibe from the get go. From Corina and Branka in the front, to the hard-working assistants (shout out to Veronica, Kim, and Lia for being so awesome!!!) I was always welcomed like an old friend. My appointments were always on time, and when it came time to sit in the chair, I had only the best treatment. The office is pristine, and all of the equipment is incredibly modern too. The San Diego location is in a really cool modern building in Bankers Hill, with easy parking that can be validated. Although my journey with braces has come to end, I will continue to rave about Dr. Milberg & Dr. Rein to anyone considering braces. read more

Dr. Milberg, Dr. Laura and the MILBERG TEAM are absolutely amazing. I had my braces removed in October, 2016, and have had countless compliments on my smile. The MILBERG TEAM not only manages your orthodontic needs, but they get to know each of their patients and make you feel comfortable! I highly recommend them to anyone in need of braces or even a second opinion!! read more

I was recommended to Dr. Milberg through my primary dentist because I needed my bite corrected. I did not know what to expect and was honestly a little nervous because this was my first time ever going to a Orthodontist office. I was greeted by the front desk and taken to a room to have scans done and a basic evaluation. Dr. Milberg eventually came into the room with the biggest smile ever and with such a positive mood that I honestly forgot I was in a dentist office. It was like talking to your favorite aunt or best friend. Instantly loved this place! She ACTUALLY listened to me, listened to what I wanted and answered every single question I had written and ready to ask. She puts her patients needs/wants first, and then she does her best to align your goals with her professional experience. But never did I feel like I was being told that I have to do a certain treatment, or do something a certain way. Her approach is amazing, custom and tailored to you. I eventually chose to have my teeth corrected with their 3M Clear Aligners. I am so so so happy I came to her office and chose to take action after so many years, she's such a blessing in the dental industry. I honestly look forward coming to the office because all the staff there is absolutely amazing, friendly, caring and fun to be around, it sounds crazy calling a dental office "fun" but trust me, go here and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Love this place and everyone here!!! read more

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Dr. Milberg and her staff! I wish all medical providers could be as dedicated, caring, efficient, and knowledgeable. Every step of the orthodontics process is patiently explained , and your concerns are respectfully addressed. Dr. Milberg has such a kind, gentle, and soft spoken manor, my children always felt comfortable and at ease in her care. My youngest of three kids started seeing Dr Milberg when she was only five, she's now 16 and out of braces, but we are still getting guidance and advice from Dr. Milberg for potential jaw surgery. Dr. Milberg has gone above and beyond by helping us evaluate our options, and calling Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons for us. Jennifer and Susie have always been able to work scheduling magic, and know the ins and out of the insurance maze. If you are looking for the best possible care and results this is the Dr to see. read more

Dr. Milberg is wonderful! I was referred here by another orthodontist who spoke very highly of her. Her staff is incredibly kind and professional and always made me feel so comfortable. I am absolutely thrilled with my teeth post-braces. I have nothing but a glowing recommendation for Dr. Milberg and her office! read more

Great customer service and professional atmosphere. Diane and her staff are wonderful and i have nothing bad to say. Dr. Milburg is not only an orthodontist, but a sales person as well, as she made sure multiple times to remind me to give her office a Yelp review. Business is business, though, so i get it. Great job and shout out to Quinn. :-) read more

I had had an aching jaw for six months. My dentist wasn't sure what to think. My husband encouraged me to see his orthodontist, Diane Milberg. He recently got braces and is a raving fan. Dr. Milberg took the time to analyze the situation and has the extensive knowledge base to immediately understand it was a muscle issue. She made me a mouth guard, and now the pain is gone. Dr. Milberg and her staff are all friendly, professional, kind, and most importantly experts at their craft. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Milberg. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this amazing Mother-Daughter orthodontic team!! This is the most thorough, informative, and compassionate orthodontic office I have been to, and my final stop after seeing FOUR other orthodontists in the area!! From my first phone call to my first visit, this office welcomes you like a member of their family, and does everything in their power to make you comfortable and at ease!! I had braces as a child for 3 years but never wore my retainer. I was embarassed at the current condition of my teeth and decided it was time to get them fixed. After seeing 4 other orthodontists who told me what I needed, I was blown away when Dr. Milberg asked me what I WANTED. My initial appointment with Dr. Milberg was also the most thorough in-depth exam I have ever had! She SHOWED me my bite and my teeth, and we discussed what I was looking for out of my treatment. She also gave me her expertise about what would be most ideal for me, my bite, and my lifestyle, and we discussed the pros and cons of the various options together. She also showed me many befores and afters and the various pieces of the puzzle that would be involved in my plan. I should also mention she..not her staff..spent at least 20-30 minutes with me answering all my questions. I have never recieved such personalized and genuine care!! I decided to start Invisalign-like treatment here, and before I began, they asked me to come back and review my treatment plan before my trays were made. At that visit, I was able to see my final outcome and the areas where there would be buttons and possible reshaping of my teeth. They thoroughly discussed the ins and outs of my plan and made sure I felt comfortable and understood the entire process from beginning to end. I could not be more pleased with the level of outstanding care at this office!! I recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for an orthodontist!!! Thank you, Dr. Milbergs!!!! read more

After reading the angry review of Dr. Milberg I was wondering if she was talking about the same person. Dr Milberg was my sons orthodontist and he is now a father and is going to bring his son to Dr. Milberg. She saved him from a really bad orthodontist in Seattle where she practiced at the time and his teeth are perfect now but unfortunately his son inherited his teeth and small mouth. I have never known a more caring or skilled orthodontist. She is the best. read more

I just recently finished up approximately two years of orthodontia with Dr. Milberg. The staff were friendly and professional throughout and Dr. Milberg clearly knows her stuff (and stays up to date on the most recent research, which is quite valuable!). She recommended surgery, but I ultimately chose to try to achieve an acceptable solution via only orthodontia as I didn't want to take the risk of surgery. She was very flexible and supportive of this decision. Ultimately, her work came out exceptional, especially given that I opted for the more challenging (and less perfect) route. I highly recommend. P.S. Regarding the 1-star review: I asked extensive questions throughout and was never rebuffed -- the doc spent ample time answering my questions in great detail. From the acerbic tone of that review, I'd have to guess the experience was idiosyncratic -- likely related to the attitude of the reviewer. I never once observed anything like that reviewer's experience occurring in the office and frequently observed the exact opposite. read more

Words can't express how much I love both Dr. Milbergs. Not only are they genuinely good people who make you feel like part of the family, they do amazing work. I went to them to fix my snaggle tooth and although they recommended braces they were completely supportive when I opted to do invisalign instead. They are very honest and straight forward and set realistic expectations. There were no surprises or hidden costs along the way. All of the staff is a joy to work with and it's clear that it's an amazing place to work. If you're considering braces or invisalign...look no further. And, whatever you do...don't get invisalign from dentists! Orthodontists will give you a more customized experience that will optimize your results. read more

I highly recommend Milberg Orthodontics to anyone looking for an orthodontist! Dr. Diane Milberg is excellent, she answered all of my questions honestly and really took her time explaining everything professionally. She made me feel like she had my best interest in mind with her recommendations on how to keep my teeth straight and prevent them from moving any more than they already have after I had stopped wearing my retainers for many months. I am so happy with my decision to choose Dr. Milberg as my orthodontist, as well as her daughter Dr. Laura Rein, who works in the office and is just as wonderful and friendly. I also have to mention that every single person working in Dr. Milberg's office is extremely welcoming and so very nice! You really get the feeling that they love what they do and they want everyone who walks into the office to have a great experience during their visit. read more

We love Dr. Milberg! She and her staff are so nice and knowledgeable...she transformed my daughters beautiful smile into a perfect beautiful smile! Thank you! read more

I have had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Milberg's and knowing her since I was 12 years old. She is not only as amazing orthodontist and truly excellent at her job, but she is so intelligent, kind, and actually cares about her patients. I recently had to go back into her office to have a retainer re-made (my friend's dog decided to make it a chew toy) after having my braces off for over twelve years and she still remembered me and greeted me with one of her famous hugs. She is such a wonderful person and I cannot recommend her enough!!! Her staff is also so kind and Brancha also greeted me with a warm hello. After all of this time, she actually remembered who I was, too. My teeth were very overcrowded when I started and she made my teeth look beautiful. Looking back at old pictures, I cannot believe that those were my teeth! She is an artist and a professional and has made my smile just perfect. She also did my sister's braces and her teeth look amazing, too. Again, I cannot recommend her enough. She is truly superb and goes above and beyond to make her patients feel safe, cared for, and appreciated. She is an absolutely amazing orthodontist and I am so grateful to know her and have had her make my teeth and smile look perfect. Thank you, Dr. Milberg; you are truly the best!!! read more

I had the worst experience ever with this office. I will never go back or recommend. Very unprofessional. Very upsetting. I could write a whole paragraph about the specifics of the experience but frankly, it's not worth my time. Just trust me when I say that this place is terrible. Choose wisely when considering a new orthodontist and don't be afraid to get more than one opinion. I called back with a few extra questions and got a dear John letter in the mail a few days later saying "I am not a good fit for their office". What the hell? I got banned for asking some questions before I sign on the dotted line for a $20,000+ treatment plan? What kind of elitist business is that? Completely ridiculous. What a joke this place is. Don't be fooled by the good reviews praising how courteous they are as that is simply their job. And don't make the mistake of asking any questions after your $120 consultation appointment is over as you run the risk of being banned. I got numerous opinions from multiple ortho's and NONE of them were as costly or invasive as the one outlined by Dr. Milberg. Furthermore most of them called back to follow up and actually ASK ME if I had any extra questions and were more than happy to answer all of them. Imagine that, an office that actually wants client. It must be nice to be close to retirement that you can pick and choose your patients according to how agreeable they are. If you're not in it for your patients, why not just go ahead and retire now already? read more

I am a 33 year old patient who was referred to Dr. Milberg for adult braces. I did not receive braces as a child, and was staring down the daunting process of several years of orthodontia plus jaw surgery while maintaining a career as an attorney and getting married mid-way through my treatment. Needless to say, the process seemed like it was going to be more than I could bear. However, right from the beginning, Dr. Milberg and her staff artfully handled my treatment and various personal situations with superb professionalism and sensitivity. Dr. Milberg is a top rate communicator who will take the time to fully explain all aspects of your treatment. She is a perfectionist who expects the highest quality work out of herself and her staff. And, best of all, Dr. Milberg will be your greatest advocate. She is not afraid to express her opinions and will champion the best course of treatment for you. Oh, and it doesn't hurt that her office is timely on appointments and the parking is fairly painless, too! I highly recommend Dr. Milberg to anyone seeking braces, young or (as in my case) old. read more

Dr. Diane Milberg and her daughter (also an orthodontist) are both incredible. Dr. Milberg treats our children Jack and Grace and has done a fabulous job explaining their specific orthodontic treatment needed to my children (to get their buy in) and to me. Her strategies work to create perfect teeth. Dr. Milberg's office runs like clockwork: no waiting, sparkling clean, efficient...and, most importantly, everyone there is NICE! I highly recommend Dr. Milberg and I also thank her for her many contributions to Coronado schools! read more

Dr. Milberg is an exceptional doctor and person. I have referred many friends to her and they all rave about her professionalism and her bedside manner. My daughter completed her orthodontic treatment today at the age of 14 and she had a wonderful experience with Dr. Milberg. My daughter gets complimented all the time on her teeth and we attribute that to Dr. Milberg's early intervention when my daughter was seven. Her approach was methodical and she explained every procedure and progress in a very detailed manner, no matter how busy she was. This is not an assembly line orthodontic practice where you feel like just another patient! Thank you, Dr. Milberg!!! read more

She hasn't even straightened my teeth yet, and I already love her. She corrected my best friend's smile, and it's perfection. Very excited to see what she can do! read more

Dr. Milberg and Dr. Laura and their staff are by far the best ortho team here in San Diego!! I am a needy patient because of past horrible dentist, but these gals know how to take care of business!! If you are looking for the BEST orthodontist in San Diego, here they are!! They are also extremely honest and respectful! Thank you Dr. Milberg, Dr. Laura and gals!! read more

My son has been going to Dr. Milberg for years now, and I'm so glad our dentist referred her to us! My son has gotten a retainer and braces from her, and each and every visit we have in her office is seamless. She and all of her staff are amazing! Outstanding receptionists, technicians, office manager, and doctor! Highly recommend. read more

Love! Love! Dr. Milberg and her staff. They always make us all feel so welcome. She's great with all of the kids that come in and my daughter really enjoys coming to see her. read more

Dr. Milberg is a top notch orthodontist! She is thorough in her assessments and thoughtful in her decision making when it comes to my 9 year old daughter's treatment. Dr. Milberg and her staff are 100% attentive to my daughter's needs, concerns and multiple questions and ALWAYS make her feel comfortable and well cared for. When my daughter had an emergency situation right before Thanksgiving, Dr. Milberg did not hesitate to take time from her personal responsibilities to meet the needs of my daughter and for that we are extremely grateful. This is the kind of quality, professional and caring service we appreciate so much. read more

I love my new smile from the braces that were done by Dr. Milberg. My entire life I had a very narrow bite & a gummy smile, she was able to make me have the perfect smile which I thought I could never have! I could really tell she was very experienced and knew what she was doing. That made me feel at ease. The office is a great central location, and all the staff are so nice and friendly. I definitely would recommend this place to anyone, especially for own kids when the time comes! read more
