Staff is super friendly and helpful! Visit was quick and efficient. Definitely recommend this practice.

After two family members completed braces with this business I made a pragmatic decision to send my two other kids to a different orthodontist. This decision wasn't based on quality of work. Orthadontia isn't heart surgery and you're likely to get the same great results no matter who you end up using. The outcomes met expectations. What is dodgy are their billing practices, aggressive pressure to get your kids into "two-stage" braces (basically paying for braces twice), and repeated sales calls trying to get your other kids into braces asap was all just too much... Oh and don't get me started with their billing department consistently trying to bill our insurance company even though they already hit the payment limit long ago. Don't they realize that I get an email from my insurance company every time someone tries to bill against the insurance? My other kids have braces now from a different Orthodontist. Surprisingly the new orthodontist said "two stage" wasn't applicable in their cases. Tip - If your orthodontist pressures you into two-stage braces from day one get a second opinion. Two-stage braces should be the exception, but more and more orthodontist groups are making it the default recommendation. read more

Dr Hardie is fantastic as well as his staff. Dr Hardie takes so much pride in is work makes my daughter feel so comfortable. Would highly recommend this office read more

If your you or your child needs to have braces, this is the place to go . Dr. Hardie has given me great care and has made the process enjoyable. I had my teeth rebanded as an adult. My childhood experience with an orthodontist in another city was traumatizing and I waited until I was in my fifties to try it again. Dr. Hardie offered me the latest technology and I just love my straight teeth. He is very cheerful and interacts with adults and children with humor and kindness. I returned today after several years for an adjustment on my retainer and he still remembered me. The whole staff is friendly and it was a real pleasure to see them again. read more

After Dr. Hardie brightened four of our kids smiles with his amazing handiwork, at age 55 I decided to turn him loose on my teeth! I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Dr. Hardie and his staff are everything I love in a medical office- they are always cheerful, friendly, on time, and professional, with a fantastic track record. Dr. Hardie, you make me smile! read more

Was visiting from out of town on July 4 and broke a bracket. Called Hardie Orthodontics in Rancho Bernardo the following morning and they saw me an hour later. They were great. Took care of my problem and didn't charge me! Would definitely use them on an ongoing basis if I lived in the area. read more

Dr Hardie and his staff are amazing! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. They are always on time and super efficient. My daughter was a very difficult orthodontic case and Dr Hardie and Dr. Dan used the very latest in orthodontic treatment techniques/appliances to treat her condition. She ended up needing orthognathic (jaw) surgery due to a rare jaw condition and everyone was very knowledgeable on pre and post operative orthodontic care. I can't recommend Dr. Hardie and his staff enough. read more

Recently I contacted Dr Hardie's Office for an appointment to replace an upper teeth wire retainer I thought was lost. Turns out it was just misplaced, but I decided to keep my appointment since it has been at least 4 years since any adjustments to my retainers. Dr Hardie examined the fit and bite of my retainers wearing them and concluded I did not need new retainers. I originally started my orthodontic treatment with Dr. Hardie in 2007, I found the paperwork prior to this visit, when I was in my late fifties. I continue to get compliments on my smile & beautiful teeth all these years later. It's the best investment in myself I have ever made. It was great to see Dr. Hardie and many of the staff that contributed to my smile. Thank you Dr. Hardie, Valerie, Theresa, Maggie & Ashley. Sincerely, Susan A. read more

Hardie Orthodontics has been such a blessing to my family for 3 generations now! The pandemic put a delay in our recent care and when we finally returned, they welcomed us with open arms and jumped right into action! My son has a complicated situation and they have been so supportive and helped guide us in the right direction! We are still in the beginning stages with my son but feel blessed we have Dr. Hardie and the rest of the team as his orthodontic care providers read more

Dr. Rich and his staff at Hardie Orthodontics are amazing and always willing to help. I started my braces journey with them. They are super nice and always making sure that I am feeling good with the look of my teeth. I recommended them to my sister and one of my friends and they were so happy with the results. I would 100% recommend them to everyone I know. read more

Hardie's is the best in town!! Extremely satisfied with the way my teeth turned out! The staff are extremely nice and welcoming apart from being super nice they also help you find the best prices! Hardin is super funny and always informative of any changes he will be making during your appointment so there is never a time where you feel confused. One thing I was super worried about was they were going to tell me I was going to get my braces off soon and then drag on the date, they were actually very good on timing they didn't drag out the day which was a super big plus for me! Hardies is the best!! read more

Hardie Orthodontics - Confident smile thanks to Hardie and his amazing team!! - Orthodontists Near Me - Escondido, California

Dr. Rich Hardie And his Staff are wonderful! When my two sons were growing up they received their orthodontic care from this office. So when I was having problems with my teeth and jaw this year I turned to Dr. Hardie for his help. I had been clenching and grinding my teeth over the years especially at night creating a lot of jaw pain. In addition my lower front teeth had drifted forward causing crowding adding to the problem. He was able to straighten my lower front teeth with a special retainer and eliminated my jaw pain with a upper night guard. The whole staff is very professional and friendly-they treat you like family. The office is very clean and runs on time. If you ever feel you need to be seen before your next scheduled appointment they encourage you not to hesitate to call and they will get you right in. Thank You Dr Rich Hardie and Staff! 5 Stars from me, Sarah Shedd read more

I love Dr. Hardie office!!!! They are very professional and friendly. Lisa the office manager is always helpful and I love the staff :)

Dr Hardie cares about his patients he's seeing. I went to him as a teenager for braces and had a great experience. As an adult 10 years later my built in retainer broke and I went in to get it fixed. He was able to replace it at an affordable price and save me money by altering my Invisalign to fit around the new retainer so I didn't have to get a new one! read more

I had my braces through Hardie Orthodontics about 7 years ago and I loved my teeth when I got them off! I had a permanent retainer on my top teeth this past week a broke it(my fault) while I was extremely worried bc of the quarantine I was thinking I wouldn't be able to get it fixed. I called them to check if I could come in and they went out of their way to fit me in! I was extremely thankful to be seen. Although I hadn't been seen by Dr. Hardie in a long time they still remembered me and took great care of my teeth. I always recommend going through an actual orthodontist and not a horrible company like smile direct club it is truly night and day. Nothing feels better than knowing that your teeth will be taken care of for a life time! Highly recommend this practice! read more

The best experience. The dentist and staff are great, we never wait long before being seen, they are willing to work with insurance issues, and always are prompt at any paperwork I need or questions I have. We are willing to travel despite moving. The service is that good! read more

We go to the Rancho Bernardo office and couldn't be happier with the office staff, and our orthodontist, Lily Workman. Our initial visit was in November- where we discussed all options with our son, and came upon a decision that worked for all of us. really like the fact that they could wait for our phase 1 treatment until summertime so my son didn't need to deal with the palette spreader during school time. Other orthodontist offices seem to really be big on taking my money- this office has really worked with us on reasonable payments. They are very friendly and flexible! read more

Dr Hardie did braces on me and two of my kids. Very professional and kind. The entire staff is extremely nice and friendly. Four out of five stars because it was quite expensive. (Get dental/Ortho insurance before your kids are teens.). read more

Dr's are great, staff is fantastic. And above all the quality of care is supreme. Great results!

I'm usually not one to talk negatively about things, but I can't let this go unnoticed. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS OFFICE TO ANYONE! A few weeks ago my child was going in for the "Big Appointment" BRACES! After getting his braces placed, he began to tell my wife and myself that the doctor became very angry during the procedure. He mentioned that Dr. Hardie was not only throwing supplies, but talking poorly to his staff and actually walked away in the middle of placing his braces. I can't even begin to explain how immature and unprofessional this doctor was. We recently have moved elsewhere for ortho and are much more pleased with the doctor.. read more

Great experience, awesome treatment, staff is knowledgeable and friendly!

This company massively failed at the end of this relationship. The work was average not bad but not far from expectation. We purchsed braces for my teenage son with no insurance around $6000. They approved for payments of 36 month. We made the effort to pay and payed it off and finished the balance within 12 months. So the day day came to remove the braces 3 years later. Cool we were excited! Then we got a call that we could NOT get the braces removed until $400 was payed. They clamed that we missed 20 some appointments and that we had to pay for those missed appointment. One we 100% denied this. We asked why wouldnt you tell us after 2 or 3 missed? Why wouldn't you send a bill the 1st time we missed? How could a company allow that so many missed appointment were missed with out getting payed. Now i agree we might have missed a couple..but at 20 missed apppintment that means we missed almost every appointment? I must be the worst customer ever by never showing up? Since we new the law we told them they could not deny continued treatment so they took them off with a $50 payment towards the $400. Too bad this company was not happy with my $6000. And wanted to micklw and dime me for something we did not due? read more

I got my braces off today and my teeth are beautiful! I am so grateful this office was recommended to me after a failed orthodontic treatment elsewhere. I had done two years of in Invisalign, and had been in braces another two years to correct issues Invisalign caused, with no end in sight to my treatment. I switched to Hardie Orthodontics and now after five months of treatment my teeth are corrected and beautiful! The staff is efficient, gentle, and amazing! I'm so grateful this office was recommended to me, and I would recommend them to you! read more

Very impressed with the staff and service provided! Dr. Hardie really cares about the children. Thank you!
