Glen Young personally helped me with my braces and explained every step. He answered all my questions and worked with me for what was most comfortable throughout the entire process. I'm not sure it could have been any better. I love my smile because of this place :) read more

Love my teeth result after one year and half of having braces. Love their excellent customer service! Highly recommended!!! 5 STARS!!!!

Dr. Young and his staffs are so nice and gentle. They care not only dentals, but also financing issue. Before treatment, he offered 3 times of free consultations whether my daughter needs orthodontic treatment. He cared my daughter as if his daughter had same problem. Also Ms. Audrey and other staffs are so kind and friendly. Thank you for your kind service. Grace Ha family read more

I visited Dr. Young yesterday with my kid. It was a great experience. My kid liked this trip too. Clearly and briefly, Dr. Young convinced me and my kid what should do. We are happy for the visit. We are happy for the results. read more

Great office! The staff are wonderful/knowledgeable and the office is very organized. I would highly recommend!

Everyone was very helpful in answering any questions I had and was very open and honest with all information. I left feeling very confident. read more

I love Dr. Young, Dr. Ubaldo & the entire staff! They are all amazing people. I have been with them for over 6 years and they never gave up on me and my teeth. I just got my braces removed and I am very satisfied with the results. I'd recommend going here over any other orthodontist. Whenever I come in for an appointment, I feel welcomed and right at home. They are like a second family to me. read more

Attended a consultation with Dr. Young and his staff. They were great! The consultation was explained very clearly, and there was no pressure to "sign up" right away. Dr. Young is definitely in the running as my daughter's orthodontist. read more

Good and friendly doctors, some mishaps have ocurred with some nurses there... but Dr. Young took all of my feedback into mind and if I ever complained he would fix whatever I found wrong..... I would try this place you will most likely always be satisfied. read more

My review is unique. Sometimes you're unsure of how good a physician is until you actually have the wisdom of experience. In 1998, my daughter became a patient of Dr. Young's. I'm not sure how we selected him - perhaps a referral from a dentist or a friend. At that time Dr. Young knew that my daughter's case would be complicated and counseled us that we should prepare for an eventual jaw surgery. In 2000, we left San Francisco. Prior to our move I met with Dr. Young to discuss next steps in my daughter's treatment. The most important information he shared with me was the following...."Your daughter's mouth is complicated. I believe a good orthodontist will be able to make significant changes with orthodontia alone. When you search for a new practice, listen carefully to the doctor. Some will tell you to forgo orthodontics completely and wait until she's old enough and perform surgery, others will tell you they can try to fix the problems with braces. Select the more conservative approach." I was shocked to encounter just what he predicted. We found a great orthodontist who was able to correct most of her problems with braces. She ultimately needed surgery. Because of Dr. Young's excellent care early on, his guidance, and counsel I feel that my daughter has received the best orthodontic care she could have. Dr. Young is an excellent orthodontist and a fine man. I can't recommend a better orthodontist in San Francisco! read more

Dr Young has been the orthodontist for both of my daughters and I have found him to be respectful, responsive, and a very effective communicator with my children/teens and with me- and both of their smiles are perfect. I would like to recommend his wonderful staff who have accommodated our busy schedules, and made visits pleasant and efficient. Dr Young has gone (far) out of his way to help me deal with compliance issues with my teens (wearing their retainers) and his partnership has been unusual and very effective. I strongly recommend this practice! read more

This was my second time for braces. My first time, when I was eleven, was not a good experience. It left me with well aligned teeth, but that didn't last as the orthodontist did not bother making retainers for me. He said they weren't needed. More than 50 years later, after my teeth had wandered quite a bit, I was at risk of losing the lower front teeth. My dentist highly recommended Dr. Glen Young. I researched Dr. Young on the web and liked what I read. I made an appointment and met him and some of his staff. Dr. Young recommended the Invisalign system and it worked very well for me. Toward the end of the treatment, my lower front teeth were not aligning as they should and Dr. Young installed traditional wire braces to complete the job. My teeth are now very well aligned and my dentist is very impressed with the job. My experience with Dr. Young, his new partner, Dr. Schmiel, and his staff has been wonderful. Everyone is eager to make sure you understand what they are doing and why. They are pleased to answer any questions you may have and you never get the feeling that you are being rushed. It may take a while to get to you (though that is the exception), but when it is your turn you are treated as if you are the only person in the office. Based on the quality of the work done, the outcome of the work, and professionalism of the entire staff, I highly recommend Dr. Young to any adult requiring orthodontic care. read more

I'm an older adult, skeptical at first at what it might mean to try braces. (I had a consult years ago where they wanted to yank four teeth -- and break my jaw--in order to make room!) But referred by my dentist because of an over-bite and crooked front teeth, thought I'd give it another try. Well it turns out that I was a candidate for Invisalign. The plastic trays take some getting used to, but within a few weeks I was able to remove them pretty easily (hint: use a paper towel to get a better grip!). Dr. Young gave a great overview of what was possible and what might be a likely outcome. Probably only metal braces could totally correct the overbite, but it definitely improved. As for the crooked front teeth--they look great now! I went to retainers in just over a year and half--and no pulled teeth! The staff members are friendly and efficient, and Dr. Chmiel is also very attentive and helpful. They answered all my questions about how the braces were supposed to fit and how long to keep wearing them. For older adults (or anyone, really) who are considering braces or Invisalign, I'd highly recommend Dr. Glen Young and his practice! read more

I have gone to Dr. Young on and off for 15 years, beginning in elementary school. He was the most pleasant of all the doctors I would get dragged to ;) For my parents, he spoke slowly and thoroughly, making sure they understood the options. I also vaguely remember him structuring reasonable payments for them at the time. I had braces, then like most kids, being stupid and unappreciative of the time and money spent, I didn't wear my retainer during the developmental years as required. My bite deteriorated, and I was back as an adult. This time, I had the benefit of Dr. Young's explanations. He's always very understanding and lays out the costs and benefits to help me decide how to move forward with the best information. He cares a lot about his patients. He always asks about my mom who used to take me to appointments as a child. He even wanted to get her some chocolates or a present (my mom became very sick in past years), but I declined. And they're great with kids. I go in as an adult now and notice how all the staff cares about these families. It's nice to see. Wish I could bring my mom back there for a visit, haha ;) read more

Dr. Young is the best!!!! I'm an adult patient referred by my dentist to Dr. Young for Invisaligns, as my teeth had migrated significantly since the metal braces of my youth (er, 30 years earlier). My front teeth had rotated and overlapped significantly. This was back in 2008. I work at UCSF and chose the Laurel Heights location because it is conveniently close to a UCSF shuttle stop. The practice environment is pleasant, clean, and efficiently run. Even so, I never feel rushed because Dr. Young always takes the time to explain everything to my satisfaction and answer any additional questions I might have. Every staff member I've encountered has been friendly and competent, and I've never had any trouble getting an appointment when I need one. They are also very up-front about what costs will be incurred, and work with you to decide on a course of action (rather than just deciding for you). My course of Invisaligns was completely successful, and my recent visit this month was to get impressions done for a new retainer, as my previous one finally cracked in half after nearly 5 years of use (about twice as long as had been estimated). I was also pleased with how long the retainer lasted, considering that I occasionally grind my teeth at night. read more

Your Review Dr. Glenn Young made a world of difference in the health and physical looks for three members of my family; myself, my son Abe and my daughter Jacqueline. We all were fitted for braces and appreciated his kind, courteous and precise care of our dental needs. He is a perfectionist, realistic, anticipatory and completely engaged in providing the best results for a great outcome. Not only is he skilled, he is very kind and thoughtful. As a parent, I particularly appreciated his sensitivity toward my son, who has Autism and high sensory needs and his direct and honest communications with my daughter, who at the time was a typical teenage girl concerned about her appearance. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who is looking for quality results in a professional and pleasant atmosphere. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Young, his staff and the entire orthodontic experience and its beautiful outcome. My teeth had been crooked ever since they grew in when I was a child. Now, as an adult in my 60s my teeth had shifted more and more over the years and they were beginning to chip and crack as a result of this gradual shifting. Thus, I decided I needed to have them straightened in order to stop them from cracking and chipping. In order to get an idea of what it would cost to have my teeth straightened , I got pricing from six other Orthodontists and found that Dr. Young's pricing was the best for what one received. I went to Dr. Glen Young because he had been recommended by my dentist. Also, a contributing factor in choosing Dr. Young was that my dentist had sent his children to Dr. Young for their Orthodontic needs. I can tell you that Dr. Young is highly skilled and knowledgeable as an Orthodontist and he is unfailingly kind and polite. He explained everything to me every step of the way and after I finished wearing the braces on my teeth, I now have the most beautiful straight teeth and they no longer are chipping and cracking as a result of being crooked. There are many things to be grateful for in having Dr. Young as one's Orthodontist, one thing is his knowledge which is top notch. Another is his graciousness which in itself is rare in this world. He and his staff are there to serve you in the most respectful, professional ways possible. They are kind and upbeat and highly skilled. Going to Dr. Young's office is walking into an environment where one can rely on being treated the best. You can rely on this and with this consistently thoughtful treatment comes trust. One can always trust that Dr. Young and his team will take care of you so you can relax. There are many children and young adults being seen by Dr. Young and his team and I have notice that they are all treated with utmost kindness and given valuable information. I would highly recommend Dr. Young to anyone seeking orthodontic care. If I could, I would give him and his team more than 5 stars. read more

I'm an old patient of Dr Young. My sister and I had braces of 10 years ago with him and loved our visits to his office. His prices were a little higher than the competition at the time, but the service and attention to detail was well worth the premium!! read more

The best support and customer care! It has been a long journey of ups and downs and Dr. Young, Dr. Ubaldo and their amazing and talented staff, have been there with me all the way! I am in deep gratitude for a corrected bite, straighter teeth and I look forward to smiling with confidence again! Thank you! read more

4 years and 6 thousand plus dollars later I hate how my teeth look. I was referred to Glen C Young, DDS by my dentist, but I should have shopped around. Dr. Young estimated that I would have to wear braces for only two years, it turned out to be four, but that's not the worst of it. Four years of wearing braces and my front teeth are off center (very noticeably) and my bite is wrong. Now I am looking for another orthodontist to correct what Young did not. Do not waste your time and money. read more

My daughter recently completed her orthodontic treatment with Dr. Glen Young and we are completely satisfied. Her teeth and smile are amazing. He was so patient and caring with her. I highly recommend him. read more

We had first initial consultation with Dr Young. He is really nice and and patient and explaining treatment option for my daughter. The only thing I was concerned is the infection control. While I was waiting for to be seen, the girl who clean the operatory between patients, spray and wiped but she did not change all plastic covering of the light handle and light switch. That worried me since they have a lot patients in and out of the chair and they need to be properly disinfected to avoid cross contamination. Please address to that issue and should be 5 stars. read more

I am an adult patient and Dr Young has made me feel welcome and comfortable. He has been extremely considerate of my travel schedule, and he and his entire staff are friendly and caring. Dr. Young clearly has a passion for his work and presented me with options for my orthodontics, and I chose invisalign. He explained the process and strategy clearly and patiently from the start, and continued to discuss the objectives and measures needed throughout my treatment. I needed some corrections -my teeth had moved since my original orthodontics as a teen - and I am thrilled with my newly straight teeth and improved bite. I think he is as happy as I am with the final result! I highly recommend Dr. Young and his practice. He was recommended to me by my dentist and she is also very pleased with the results. Thank you very much Dr. Young! read more

We have been going to Dr. Lee for a very long time! It started with my treatment in 2002, as an adult, mother of 2. I did Invisalign and had braces for awhile. Soon after, both my daughters began their treatment as well and now we all have excellent straight teeth and beautiful smiles. Dr. Lee has done a fine job of taking care of our orthodontic needs and continues to pay attention to our retainers when they break. Dr.lee has been a fixture in the life of my children. We highly recommend him! read more

I had always wanted to get my teeth straightened, but as a child, my parents did not have the money. After college, once I was earning my own living, I was too afraid to take the jump, and have four teeth pulled, which I was always told would have to happen in order to straighten my teeth. Now, as a 60+year old, my teeth are overlapping in front, and I am very self conscious of how my teeth protrude. Dr. Young has been fantastic in straightening my teeth as much as possible by using invisalign, and not pulling any teeth. Even with not being done with the process, I'm already happy about my looks, and feel comfortable to smile without being self conscious. Dr. Young is fantastic at explaining why he does the procedures he chooses, and has an expert staff to assist him. I thoroughly enjoy working with him, and am thrilled with the results. read more

Our relationship with Glen Young has spanned almost 10 years and we could not be more delighted with the results. Both my teenage boys have beautiful smiles...a gift that will last a lifetime due to Dr. Young"s expertise and thoughtful approach to each unique situation. I interviewed 3 orthodontists before choosing him for my boys...he was the only one that said that he liked "work with nature" before jumping to the conclusion that we had to extract teeth---thank goodness! In addition, even though his office is bustling, he takes the time to throughly explain every detail of his approach to adults and children alike. His staff is courteous; children and teens feel comfortable when they are in their care. read more

Dr. Young and Dr. Ubaldo are outstanding DDS. Both doctors really care about their patients and spend quality time with all. I just started with Dr. Young and Dr. Ubaldo, but already I feel confident that my teeth are in great hands. Thank you to both doctors. read more

When I told my dentist that I was seeing Dr. Rodney Lee for my braces, she was thrilled "He really is the best for adult braces" she said. And being an adult with braces, I totally agree. Dr. Lee diagnosed the best treatment plan for my situation and my teeth, not a cookie cutter approach used by many orthodontists. The office staff are professional and accommodating and the two locations were very convenient for me. I am thrilled with the results! Thank you. read more

It's now a few years later and my teeth are very worse off than when the braces were removed. As expected, due to the prolonged back and forth adjustments when I had braces, I now have major gum recession and bone loss. No one's mouth is built to take all that shifting. Teeth will fall out at an early age for me. Dr. Young tends to shave off the tips of teeth to get teeth to fit. Also as expected, teeth wear out over time and have now chipped off in those places. Again, I'd recommend shopping around. Maybe this office is fine, but my experience was not acceptable. read more

All my doctor visits have been very attentive, thorough, complete, helpful, caring and time saving. I associate Dr. Lee and his team with the meaning of quality and mastery of their craft. Everyone in the office is very helpful, kind, and sweet and very understanding, especially with my hectic schedule over the past year. Doctor Lee and his team were very accommodating, helpful, and considerate of my schedule. They are supportive and I can see that they are doing their best to give me the best service and most useful treatment possible. I can see that they have my best interest in mind and help me along the way and allow me to take as long as I need to get back on track in case I fall behind my Invisalign treatment. Over all I have never seen such a thorough, precise, caring, and positive, on point team before in the dental sector. I appreciate it! Thank you and I trust and would recommend Dr. Lee to everyone. read more

On time, flexible, friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Lee has taken great care of my son's teeth. I always feel like we get the best service from the front end staff and the highest level of professionalism from the dental staff and Dr. Lee! read more

My son went to his appointment "solo" today (he's 13) and everything went quite well. The staff and Dr. Young had him quite at ease.

Dr Young has been a fantastic doctor for my daughter. Over the years we have experienced excellent care and professionalism. He is knowledgeable and dedicated, kind and fun with the kids. Our daughter had an extreme case and the now close to the end of the treatment we are very satisfied. He is trustworthy and reliable and highly respected by the general and pediatric dentists in town. The staff follow suit. read more
