Great ortho! Dr Fred is very knowledgeable and extremely friendly with kids. Love his demeanor and his sense of humour. We've been seeing Dr. Fred for many years for both our children. He did an amazing job on their teeth! read more

During my high school years, I underwent orthodontic treatment for several years under the care of Dr. Warren. However, my underbite and crossbite issues could not be addressed entirely by braces alone, I was referred to a skilled surgeon for a corrective jaw surgery. I am very happy with the noticeable and pronounced improvement in my smile, which has boosted my level of confidence significantly. Dr. Warren's guidance throughout the entire process was invaluable, and my orthodontic appointments were a painless and pleasant experience owing to the warmth and friendliness of the staff. I've always had an interest in working in the dental industry and I would not been able to do it without the wonderful smile that Dr. Warren helped me achieve. read more

Both my young teens have been patients of Dr. Warren's for several years now. They have both had braces and retainers. Dr. Warren has a lovely disposition; he's warm, engaging and always positive. His bedside manner for kids is terrific. My daughter is fairly fearful, and he was great at putting her at ease. She also needed some extractions, and Dr. Warren efficiently coordinated what was required with her dentist. The front desk staff, financial person and nurses are all wonderful. They're mindful of accommodating kids and parents' schedules, and are pretty flexible when you need to make a last minute change. They're also very responsive if you have an issue and leave a message - they get right back to you. I highly recommend Dr. Warren and team's services. read more

Dr. Warren and his team are the best! They are professional, helpful, courteous and super awesome with my little guy. He thoroughly worked with us for a year, explained what was going on or what he's waiting to happen with my son's teeth. And after a year of visits and check in's, we're finally starting phase 1. His team is really knowledgeable and professional. Carol made the payment process seamless, she answered my million questions with a smile, offered to check out options with our insurance, overall she made sure that we were take care off! To add to that she emailed me the same day with more answers to my questions! What a team this practice has, I highly recommend them. They are there for their patients, and they ALL do it with a smile! read more

Dr. Fred is one of a kind! His experience and knowledge speaks for itself through dentistry! His work is excellent! Very thorough and conscience and cares about his patients! I was very nervous about the process of getting my braces. I'm glad I did with Dr. Fred! He is a great listener and cares about your concerns, and will walk you through the process every step of the way! His staff are ALL professional and kind. Thank you, Dr. Fred for giving a million dollar smile! (: read more

As someone in her late 30's, I wanted straight teeth but wasn't excited about the idea of braces. I finally convinced myself to get Invisalign, and went to Dr. Warren. He did a fantastic job - my teeth look better than they have in 20 years! He is a perfectionist, and it showed in the results. Not only that, but I found Dr. Warren to be personable, receptive to my concerns (e.g., removing the button on my front tooth after it was no longer needed because I didn't like how it looked), and enjoyable to visit with overall. I highly recommend him! read more

My kid's not ugly anymore! Seriously though, great doctor, great assistants and her teeth look wonderful. read more

He's literally the worst person I've ever met. Condescending staff and dental work was painful and never catered towards helping me, just milking my family of money. I hate him. 7k wasted and I'm realigning my teeth elsewhere since even after dental work here my teeth still got fucked over. I'd rather go through the ringer of having my jaw snapped in half like the saw movies than ever see his mug again. read more

OK - so I haven't gone recently and I'm not sure why I am thinking of writing a review but something sparked my memory for having braces as an adult - it's been years since I was a patient, but I had a really good experience at the office of Dr. Fred and Dr. Leonard (Father/Son orthodontist office). Although - I was usually probably 1 of 3 adults that was ever in the office during my visits because there were a huge number of kids in there getting their braces. I guess I'm thinking of this place cause I need a new retainer since I stopped wearing it a few years ago and can feel my teeth moving. Anyways, from what I remember, Dr. Fred explained the whole treatment process, the payments and the plan and the procedures. It was actually pretty painless - well ok there was pain here and there and those damn little rubberbands snapping when you don't hook them up right. read more

Our experience has been good here. Dr Fred is nice, funny and has been great with both of my kids. Both kids work was different and he chose the right path for both. The staff is very nice and professional. A bit hard to get appointments at times but they fit you in with emergencies. read more

For the record, Dr. Warren has treated my son through multiple rounds of orthodonture due to his very complicated case exacerbated by very unusual late adolescent/early adulthood growth in his cranial and jaw structure, AND he treated me with Invisalign. Suffice it to say, we have had considerable experience with Dr. Warren and his staff from diagnostics through treatment. Dr. Warren is one of the nicest, most honest, and caring individuals on this planet, and his demeanor, integrity, and quest for perfection in his treatment of patients drives how his staff functions. If it is challenging to obtain an appointment with Dr. Warren, it is simply because he is one of the best in his profession, and is in high demand. My personal experience has always been that his staff has gone out of their way to try and accommodate my appointment needs. If a round of orthodonture takes longer than expected, it is likely due to the fact that Dr. Warren doesn't settle for mediocrity in his patient's results. This was demonstrated to us in our experience with our son's case, and then again with my Invisalign treatment. The treatment plan prescribed by Invisalign called for a defined number of treatment rounds. As we approached the end of those rounds, Dr. Warren told me that he felt we could achieve an even better result if we extended several more rounds, which we did. The end result was visibly better -- proving that Invisalign's computer modeling and their treatment plans can be improved through modification and interpretation by a skilled diagnostician. The additional time with Dr. Warren yielded better results. Unfortunately, we live in a world that is filled with consumers who feel that the world revolves around them, who want whatever they want whenever they want it, and are quick to criticize others when they don't capitulate to their perceived needs. Those people should probably consider a less skilled orthodontist who is in lower demand and who doesn't take the time with patients practiced by Dr. Warren. read more

My experience with Dr Warren's office was below standard.His staff has some difficulty with honesty and integrity. Having met and consulted with Dr Warren I called to set up and to begin Invisalign.The receptionist told me that first I needed to get a CT Scan.I inquired the reason since it was not discussed at my consultation.She was unable to provide me with any information as to why it was ordered and din't bother to inquire.As it turns out it was not necessary. A simple X-ray would have yielded the same results.It cost me 300 dollars out of pocket as well as unnecessary radiation.When I called for information,if the office staff didn't have an answer, they would fabricate a response. I am an RN so I have been dealing with MD and Dental offices for many years.Communication and a sense of empathy is key.The communication in Dr Warren's office is abysmal. I found his office manager to be rude,abrupt and to have difficulty processing my questions and concerns. There are plenty of Orthodontists in San Francisco who are skilled and also treat pts with respect and aim to have good communication with pts.This practice is not one of them. read more

We got much better care at the UOP clinic in Pac Heights for 1/3 the cost! Dr. Warren's is unprofessional, line em up and get em done fast. They left wires poking into my child's cheek which a dentist had to use wire clippers to remove, and then Dr. Warren's refused to even cover the cost of that removal, never mind compensate for the incredible pain their sloppy work put my child in. Then, late stage in braces, they left backers on my daughter's front teeth that nearly gave her dead tooth by shoving it too far apart too suddenly. Boy were they in a hurry to unchain her teeth! Also, the receptionist is perpetually crabby, as if she's doing you a huge favor to schedule an appointment. And all this for only $6000! If I didn't believe that malpractice suits are a bad thing, I'd pursue one here. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. read more

I am so thankful for Warren Orthodontic. The level of organization at this office in INCREDIBLE. I appreciate the reminder calls, the emails and all the ways they keep treatment on schedule for this busy (VERY busy) mother of four. Very impressive. Dr. Warren is super - and helps the kids take responsibility for their part in successful treatment. My 17 year old might forget to take out the trash, but he never forgets to wear his retainer. Thank you Dr. Warren and your entire Staff. Much appreciation! read more

We love Dr. Warren. My two girls are patients now of the son, and my adult stepchildren went to the father when they had their braces. We live in the neighborhood and it couldn't be more convenient. Plus the pricing is painless, and the service great. They are the most efficient office of any kind that I have dealt with in quite a while. They have it down to a science. And kids are so funny about predictability. My oldest girl just has a retainer now, but we're heading for braces soon and she loves going to Dr. Warren. From the neato computer check-in service in the lobby that she has mastered herself, to meeting with Dr. Warren and telling me about all his jokes after her appointment. It's helping pave the way for the little one when she gets so far. Who knows? Maybe our grandchildren will be the next little Dr. Warren patients! read more

My daughter needed braces and we went to Dr. Warren based on a recommendation from a friend. I was very happy to have found him. The advice and options given to us were very helpful. They explained the different treatment types and options both in person and with a video overview, as well as financing options. The service is fantastic with no wait times in the office, reminder phone calls for appointments and a staff that's friendly and helpful. Their office is clean and modern. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get braces for their kids. read more

I've been recommended this place by my general dentist. There's a free orthodontic consultation, and the wait isn't nearly as long as some other places that offer free orthodontic consultation, like western dental (Which i advise against going there for anything). I'm glad i got my consultation here, even though the prices were quite high. But there is a plan through their office which one can pay monthly over 2 years. Satisfied. read more

The staff of Warren Orthodontists were very kind and helpful! Dr. Warren and his team are excellent and I highly recommend this place!

We were referred to Dr. Warren's office and expected a good experience. However, the reality was bitter. Dr. Warren is OK with patients, though he did make mistakes. The office staff is terrrible, rude and disrespectful. We had many positive experiences with other doctor offices, but not this one. The schedule is inflexible and it is difficult to get issues resolved whenever you have one. And keep in mind, Dr. Warren is very pricey ($8000+), but price does not indicate quality. Since orthodontic treatment generally lasts for years, please be aware when you choose an orthodontist. read more

Dr Warren and his team deliver an outstanding level of service! They are extremely professional and offer great expertise for both adults and children. I highly recommend him!!! read more

Our dentist friend recommended him. Both my kids received outstanding care. It IS expensive relative to other orthodontists in SF. However, "the best" almost always is. Highly recommend! read more

Dr Warren is great. My family has been going to his office for the last 20+ years from various family members to myself currently. They have a great friendly office staff and the Doctor has always been great to us. Thanks again. read more

Both my kids are patients of Dr. Warren's and they tell me he is friendly and funny. The office is in West Portal right outside the muni tunnel. They have early morning appts available too. read more

Dr Leonard Warren (retired) was my orthodontist when I was younger and now that I am adult I went to Dr Fred Warren for some refining work after not having worn my retainers for years! Both Doctors are absolutely the most talented, kind and great communicators! The staff is awesome and I always enjoy their beautiful office. Thanks Dr Fred and team! read more

My daughter Greta is a patient of Dr. Warren's and we have been very happy with the treatment she has received. Some of the recent comments posted on this site do not speak to the wonderful and professional experience we have had with Dr. Warren and staff which is why I felt compelled to write a review. I have always found the staff to be helpful and friendly and the front office staff a pleasure to work with. My daughter's orthodontic work is coming along nicely thanks to the work of Dr. Warren. We have been very satisfied and I would recommend this office to any of my friends looking for an Orthodontist in San Franciso. read more

Dr. Warren is amazing! If I could give more than five stars I would. He takes his time explaining your treatment plan. Is willing to answer any question, no matter how many you have. Dr. Warren is a joy to be around, he makes going to the orthodontist enjoyable, he is so sweet and takes his time to make sure no mistakes are made. It is clear he will do everything in his power to make sure the patient is happy. His office staff is so sweet and helpful! I would never go to another orthodontist and will take all my children to see him! read more

Ive been going to Dr. Warren since I was about 11 y/o and they've been nothing but nice to me. I didn't finish the treatment the first time so I waited until I was 18 to get braces again. I had an underbite and my jaw had not grown correctly but he told me all of my options and I couldn't be happier with my teeth right now. I no longer have an underbite and I had surgery on my top jaw to expand it and move it forward (thanks to Dr. Warrens recommendation) I didn't have any pain after wire adjustments and setting appointments was not a problem, plus all of his staff are really friendly, I would 100% recommend. read more

It is very hard to schedule an appointment during non school hours. Also, it is hard to get an appointment period...I had to reschedule an appointment and the next available was one month out. They said this will prolong the braces. Office takes long lunches too, so again kids can't their braces done during lunchtime. I think it is very disruptive to schools and teachers. read more

Dr. Warren is a great orthodontist. He's guided my daughter's teeth to perfection over the last few years. Prior to treatment, he clearly explained his recommendation, and provided a sensible plan and a complete price (yes, orthodontics are expensive, but we interviewed three practices and prices were about the same, but the treatment approach varied considerably). From there, he executed as promised. I've always found his staff and him to be kind, accommodating and generous with their time. I've probably referred 6-8 families, and they've all been happy. read more

I just assume that the person giving Dr. Warren bad reviews missed and appointment and was not able to reschedule during school hours. I have never had this happen personally but I've seen the sign. Dr. Warren is amazing! Not only because I used to be sniggle toothed and now my teethe are straight, but because of the care and compassion I've been shown here. Every member of his staff is warm and out going. I'm guessing it's something he pumps through the air ducts, because his staff is always in a good mood and happy. The billing department is knows what their doing! I'm just about to get my braces off and I'm so happy I chose DR Warren. I went to several Dentists in the area and he was really the only one recommended. He is also fabulous with children. Yo sit in an open room, so you get to see him interact with other patients. DR warren is so warm with his younger clients. I could not think of enough nice things to say about this office, but needles to say I'm very happy about my outcome! read more

Dr. Warren is the real deal! As an adult with seriously messed up teeth, I went to numerous orthos to get initial consultations. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Warren and his treatment plan, his pricing was about the middle of the range of other pricing that I got. His quality of work was excellent! My teeth turned out beautifully, i really couldn't be happier with the results. Everyone else in his office is very good too. I almost always got seated right away, there was probably only one or two times where I went in and had to wait a bit, but that was during school break, so the place was full of kids. He has some great skills and was always willing to answer all my questions thoroughly (i was very fascinated with the whole process of moving my teeth around, so i was always asking a lot of questions). One of my best experiences with a medical/dental professional I would say! read more

My regular dentist recommended Dr. Warren and said he sends his children to him. You know an orthodontist has to be good if a regular dentist will send his kids there. Dr. Warrens is fantastic, his marketing plan is superb, and his reminder phone calls and emails are very welcome. I'm not sure who set up Dr. Warrens support staff but they should be given a bonus. Everything about Dr. Warren and his staff receive an A+ in my book. read more

I give my highest recommendation to Dr. Warren and his amazing staff. I am an adult patient who had a complicated issue (now resolved). Dr. Warren and everyone in his amazing office treated me with great respect, provided honest and accurate information in my treatment plan and communicated with me clearly at every step along the way. The office is nothing but uber-efficient. I was never left waiting for an appointment and their hi-tech approach to record-keeping meant that no matter who I spoke with, they were knowledgeable of my issues. I was always in and out in the time frame that they specified - an important consideration for someone as busy as I was during the time of my treatment. Best yet, his office is on the M line so all was easy. I haven't read any other reviews here; in fact, I don't do Yelp often, but my experience with Dr. Warren's practice was so over-the-top positive that I had to leave a few words. Seriously, you can't go wrong by having Dr. Warren take you through your treatment. And did I say complicated issue resolved? Yes. read more

Dr Warren's office is a factory - it should be called Dr. Warren's Assistants given how many there are and the fact that they do all the work. At any moment there are between 4-5 patients being taken care of by dental assistants in a single room while Dr. Warren simply walks around, spends a few minutes to review your case, then gives instructions/advice to the assistant working on your teeth. Our $7000 orthodontic process took 8 months longer than planned because of the methodology used in this practice. Each "Damon brace" on each tooth is adjustable so that the wires themselves don't do all the work and determine the shape of your teeth as with conventional braces. Instead, Dr. Warren "tweeks" and adjusts the wires in order to move individual teeth. Each time he pinched a wire to reshape it, we got the wrong effect on my daughter's teeth. So he would have to re-tweek the wires at the next visit to fix the mistake he made on the prior visit - you get the idea. This added 50% more time because of fumbling through several mistakes before getting close to straight teeth but still not perfect. When Dr. Warren's assistants finally took the braces off my daughter, her teeth still projected outward (instead of being vertical), her canines still protruded, and a front tooth was slightly rotated, but he promised to "fix" all this by "tweeking" her retainer. More than three years later we're still trying to fix things. And beware, it's between $700-900 to replace retainers and they don't keep the original molds! So if your child loses her retainers on vacation, you will lose your multi-thousand dollar investment in fixing her teeth. read more
