    The absolute BEST! When hunting for an orthodontist, I asked my friends on social media and the number of people who recommended Goodman was overwhelming! It made our choice so easy and they definitely live up to the hype! [[HIGHLIGHT]]My daughter has never been a fan of dental or medical offices, but she loves it here!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    My straight teeth!

    & I returned with my next kid! After seeing the results from my daughter's case and the absolute high level of patient care and consistent experience I couldn't wait to get my son in the chair. After seeing his GP we were referred to an orthodontist of his choice but went outside of the referral back to where we knew we belonged- Goodman ortho. This office is one of the rare occasions where the staff does not overturn rather it expands. We absolutely ADORE the Ortho Asst Jeanne!!! The entire team of course is great but we all play secret favorites this is the best ortho office around hands down and I will die on that hill!! Thanks guys!

    Great customer service. From scheduling to updating the status of what's next for each upcoming appointment. The staff is very nice and helpful. I am glad I picked this orthodontics out of all the choices here in San Diego. Highly recommend!

    His beautiful smile and he couldn't be happier

    I absolutely love this place! You feel welcomed every time you walk in. It is fun to watch my 9 yr old son be independent and check himself in. My son finished his first phase a little over 1 year, and he couldn't be happier! We enjoy the snack area each time we visit! One son is a patient, and my other is just waiting with me. They love to play on the iPads while they wait! Dr. Goodman and his staff are so pleasant, and I couldn't be happier with this experience for my child. When he finished his 1st phase, he got a goodie bag and sparkling cider... so awesome! This location is very convenient to where we live. They always try to make an appointment work for working parents and with school/sport schedules. In addition, this office is SO CLEAN AND WELCOMING! I had another choice to go to a different orthodontist in the area, but it was a no-brainer to see Dr. GOODMAN! Cannot wait for my other son's dental journey with this fantastic orthodontist!

    Love the team at Goodman Orthodontics

    I chose Elite Orthodontics because of the amazing reviews that I read prior to getting braces. I…read morewanted to choose the best of the best because not only did I need braces but I had an underbite that I wanted to treat as well. Elite kept me well informed and even recommended me an amazing oral surgeon when I was having trouble finding one that worked with my insurance. The office is clean and has a section for all your braces needs like wax, floss, toothbrushes, etc. there are also three sinks where you can brush and floss before getting your braces tightened. Every visit felt efficient and fast. The techs who tightened my braces were always professional and gentle. Special shoutout to Ashley who always was so friendly anytime she tightened my braces. I saw both Dr Ehsani and Dr Sabet and they were both phenomenal throughout my treatment before and after surgery. The front desk was always responsive and answered all my silly questions via text message. I can't stress how friendly everyone is in the office!! I highly recommend Elite Orthodontics to anyone who mentions getting braces and I would choose them again and again if I ever had to get braces in the future (I hope I don't have to but you get it)

    Elite Orthodontics helped me to correct my bite 4/25-7/26, this was actually my 4th ortho…read moretreatment, so I came into the process with a lot of previous experience and a pretty good idea of what to expect. The total cost was somewhere around $8,500, not more than $9k...making it the most expensive treatment I've personally had. For context, my first tx was a surgical case involving crowding - cost around 5k. 2nd - minor correction completed in under six months and cost less than $2K. 3rd- Invisalign and cost $6,800 and the most time spent in tx. Looking back, I still don't feel I ever received a clear explanation as to why this treatment was significantly more expensive than any of my previous. At the time, I was frustrated with my Invisalign results and eager to get my bite corrected, so I trusted the process that had been proven to give me positive outcomes and moved forward. To be fair, there were a lot of things I liked about this office. The front office staff was always friendly, scheduling was easy, appoints ran on time, and the techs were fantastic.... they were very knowledgeable, and honestly carried most of my experience throughout treatment. The office is incredibly efficient, and it's clear they have a strong team. Where I struggled was with the amount of provider interaction. Compared to my previous orthodontic experiences, I spent very little time with doctor. Most of my appt. time were with techs and because I saw multiple providers throughout treatment, there were times when I felt disconnected from my treatment plan. Since I was progressing, I tried to trust the process, but I often left appoints without fully understanding what the next steps were or why certain decisions were being made. My biggest disappointment came at the end of treatment during my debonding appointment. I have a history of dental anxiety, although I've worked really hard over the years to overcome it, I still deal with it. I've had braces removed before, Invisalign attachments removed, fillings, and plenty of other dental work. Because of those experiences, I honestly wasn't expecting this appointment to be difficult for me. The tech handled the majority of the debonding process, including removing the brackets (ceramics), cleaning off the adhesive, taking photos, delivering retainers, and scheduling my follow-up. She did a great job and communicated well throughout the appointment. What caught me off guard was how different this experience was from my previous treatments. In my prior cases, the orthodontist personally handled the final stages of treatment, including my permanent retainer placement, brace removal, adhesive cleanup, and any procedures involving powered dental instruments (drills). Because that had always been my experience, I was surprised when nearly the entire process was completed by an assistant. Hearing and feeling a high powered drill being used in my mouth by someone other than the orthodontist made me extremely nervous and uncomfortable. Whether that is standard practice or not, it was not something I had experienced in any of my previous treatments, and I was not prepared for it. The adhesive removal process was also much more uncomfortable than I expected (ceramic) . I spent most of the appointment just trying to get through it. My teeth were extremely sensitive during, afterward and still are now . In my previous treatments--including previous debondings and Invisalign attachment removal--I experienced little to no discomfort, so this was a very different experience for me. Although I had become accustomed to the bare minimum time with the actual provider, I was still caught off guard with my removal appt. I didn't see the orthodontist until the very end of the process, he checked my retainers, made a small adjustment, did a little reshaping, and that was essentially it, probably took less than 5 mins. They delivered on the outcome one, but after investing so much money, I expected more from my experience. Looking back, I think my overall experience comes down to one thing: efficiency. This office is extremely efficient, and for many patients that may be exactly what they're looking for. For me, I would have liked more communication, more provider involvement, and more discussion throughout treatment, especially at the end. Do I think Elite Orthodontics has a skilled team? Absolutely. Do I think my teeth look better than when I started? Yes- thank you!! But for the cost of treatment, I expected more direct interaction with the orthodontist and a more personalized experience than I received. If convenience, quick appts, and an efficient process are your top priorities, you'll probably have a great experience here. If you're someone who values one-on-one time with your orthodontist, detailed discussions about your treatment, and significant doctor involvement during the final stages of care, that was not my experience.

    So far, this is the best dental office we've been to for the kids! The staff is friendly, honest,…read moregentle, and affordable. We had a hard time finding the right dentist because other offices were charging ridiculous prices and recommending unnecessary treatments. We even got completely different quotes from different places, which made us skeptical. Then we found Dr. Gire -- he was extremely helpful, transparent, and reassuring. The kids' teeth are healthy, and they actually look forward to their visits now! The office is very kid-friendly, and the kids love that they get a balloon at the end of their appointment.

    One of the worst experiences in my life. My 4 year old had some cavities to take care of. So we had…read moreour first consultation to take x rays. But only x rays of the teeth that needed work for some reason? They did not take X-rays of her entire mouth and we didn't know that. We assumed her entire mouth was X-ray. so two months later, after we were told by the dentist Brandon all her other teeth looked good, she has a big cavity. Probably past the point of repairing and she'll need another cap which is outrageous. Why wasn't an xray of her entire mouth taken? If not why weren't we told to come back and take more X-rays for a more in depth inspection? This could have been caught but due to the negligence of the dentist she has another cavity TWO months later! Absolutely ridiculous. My wife called and very politely asked questions and the lady at the front desk said when you come to you appointment on Thursday you can talk to the dentist. Today she shows up to the appointment and they are refusing to help my 4 year old. They didn't call to cancel or refuse our service. They wanted to embarrass my wife and children and tell them in the waiting room. Brandon refuses to talk to us about it. What a stand up place. Very poorly handled. No apologize was given no explanation from the dentist. Save yourself a headache and more damage to your kids and don't go here.
