I rarely write Yelp reviews but I can't recommend Sierra Orthodontics enough. I honestly think I've…read morehad the best medical office experience I've ever had with Sierra Ortho! The entire staff has been so kind and knowledgeable from start to finish. Dr. Gune goes above and beyond to treat each patient with attention, care, and support informed by his extensive knowledge and clear passion for helping each patient. I've struggled with TMJ and jaw issues my whole life and have previously been dismissed by multiple dentists who simply told me "TMJ is hopeless" and "you'll just have to deal with it for life." After a single visit (that only cost $75), Dr. Gune provided me an individualized assessment of my jaw, comprehensive treatment plan, and practical tools that have already provided some much-needed relief and answers I've never had. Even his assistant was very knowledgeable about TMJ and gave me more helpful information and attention than I've received thus far. She was able to identify how ill-informed orthodontic treatments I received as a child may have impacted my current jaw issues as an adult, helping me answer the mysterious puzzle and give me hope for treatment. I was so surprised at how much time his staff spent with me going out of their way to teach me about my unique jaw, show me pictures, and provide treatment options that are doable and cost-effective. She even talked to me about my partner's Sleep Apnea and some possible treatment options for him (who I'd love to get into Sierra). As a grad student with limited funds, I assumed orthodontics were out of my price-range but Sierra Ortho is providing a payment plan that works for me. Their scheduling process is easy (text appointment reminders!), they have state-of-the-art technology (complete paperwork digitally before your visit), the office is beautiful, peaceful, and they pay attention to the little details that make a cozy and positive experience through and through. I wish I weren't moving out of the area or I'd love to continue working with Dr. Gune and his awesome staff! Even with my move, Dr. Gune is going out of his way to help make sure my treatment continues in a new city. It's clear he's not just trying to make money but genuinely wants each of his patients to receive amazing treatment and love their smile. Thanks Dr. Gune & everyone at Sierra for helping to solve my TMJ! :)

Dr Wu is the best Orthodontist here in Elk Grove…read more I have had 3 kids get braces here. And they do not dread going there. As an adult Dr Wu has helped me as well. Coordinating with my oral surgeon and helping me with a favorable outcome.

I was referred to Dr. Wu by my son's pediatric dentist. After reading all the positive reviews, I…read moredecided to bring my son here. We've been patients for a little over a year now, and unfortunately we've had to come in multiple times for "emergency" visits because bracket fell off, wires came loose, or wires were poking my son. Most recently, my son's wire came off on a Friday night. Since we already had an appointment scheduled for Tuesday, I just had him use wax until then. At that Tuesday appointment, the dental assistance informed us that the wires were cut too short, which is why the wire came off the bracket. However, later that SAME day, my son told me the wire came off again. I called the next morning and thankfully they were able to get us in right away. As the assistant explained the situation to Dr. Wu, his immediate reaction was to blame my 9-year-old. He asked if my son had been pulling on the wire or ate something hard because, according to him, "there's no way" the wire would come off on its own without excessive force. I was honestly shocked and upset that his first instinct was to blame a child instead of considering that maybe the work done the day before was not done properly. Not to mention the day before his dental assistant said that the wire came out due to it being cut too short. So which is it?? The wire can come off when it's cut too short or it requires excessive force for the wire to come off?? I reminded Dr. Wu that we had just been there the day before for the exact same issue. I asked why his first reaction was to blame my son instead of questioning whether his staff may have made a mistake. He immediately became defensive and said his office sees "many, many patients" and they never have issues. I explained that this was not the first time we've had problems with my son's braces and that we've already had to come back several times due to brackets or wires coming loose. What bothered me most was that even after I questioned him, he still blamed my son again and confidently said yes when I asked, "So you're blaming my son for this?" It wasn't until I continued questioning him and pointing out the repeated issues that he gave what felt like a very half-hearted apology. He said he would "look into his protocols" and that he's not "above admitting" when his staff makes mistakes. Dr. Wu ended up fixing my son's braces himself that day, and I immediately noticed he spent much more time and care working on them than the assistant did the previous day. At the end of the visit, I asked if moving forward Dr. Wu could personally work on my son instead of the assistants. His response was simply, "It doesn't work that way." No explanation, no reassurance, nothing. Overall, I found Dr. Wu to be rude, dismissive, condescending, and unprofessional in the way he handled this situation. As a parent, it was upsetting to see a grown professional immediately blame a child instead of taking accountability or at least approaching the situation with more care and professionalism. My son may need braces again in high school once all his adult teeth come in, but we will not be returning here.

No explanation was really given as to why it's taking longer, they just keep scheduling follow-ups. Makes me wonder if it's cause they want to just bill our insurance. If that really is the case I will be furious, don't make my poor daughter keep her braces on longer for more $. What I am most upset about is their appointment reminder system admittedly had a glitch and a reminder text which I am use to getting was not given for her appt. that was scheduled 2 months ago! If it is their system that failed then we should not be billed, period. I tried to fight it because it really isn't right but the office manager demands I pay because a fee was already waved for a previous missed appt. which might I add was due to an emergency. She was also trying to tell me what she does to remind herself of appts. which is ridiculous, telling me that's it's my responsibility to remember and they give reminder slips which should suffice but from 2 months ago, really?!!! I am getting greedy vibes for sure and can't wait until my daughter gets her braces off, I would never go back here for my other daughter or refer anyone to go here.
