I am very grateful that a friend had referred my daughter to see Dr. Nakamura for her 2nd phase for braces. Their practice was very welcoming from the start and I really like the fact that Dr. Nakamura explained everything to us at the first visit. We just got a large, extensive quote from another orthodontist, and were relieved to hear from Dr. Nakamura that a lot of those crazy procedures weren't needed or necessary for my daughter. Mandy their office manager was also very helpful and accommodating in helping make those first few lengthy appointments work with our very busy and demanding schedules. We are roughly a year in and are very pleased with how far my daughter has come with her treatment as well as their ability to schedule late afternoon appointments which works around my daughter's long school days as well as the friendliness of the staff. We recommend you get a 2nd opinion with Dr. Nakamura before taking the plunge into any orthodontic work. You won't be disappointed! read more

this office is amazing! the Dr is so kind and knowledgeable. He is very fair priced and does not push anything on you that you don't need ... the staff is so kind too :) read more

Dr. Nakamura is still the best! My first child had braces with him 10 years ago and now my youngest has braces with him. Here you will get fair, honest and kind treatment. No upselling, no pressure. The office is simple, extremely clean, everyone who works here is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Nakamura is a really nice family man that knows his stuff. He has the experience and knowledge. My oldest still has the most beautiful smile 10 years later thanks to Dr.Nakamura and my son's teeth are already looking great just a few months in. Thank you Dr. Nakamura and staff for always welcoming us with a smile and being so great! read more

Dr Nakamura was great with my daughter and explained everything to her. Her teeth look great

It's been a few years since I finished my treatment and I still get many compliments. I do however still wear my retainers. Thanks again Dr. Nakamura and the entire office team!! read more

I was recommended by several clients on Facebook. Dr. Nakamura is the best and his payment plans are reasonable. His office staff is awesome, especially Mandy :) They make you feel at home. Highly recommend them. read more

Dr. Nakamura did my adult braces 16 years ago. He did a phenomenal job and I am still receiving compliments on my teeth. My son had phase 1 braces at age 7 due to some teeth coming in incorrectly. He is 14 now and just completed his phase 2 braces last week. He had zero problems with his braces and his teeth look fabulous. My daughter has a corrective retainer since age 8 and is about to have her braces with Dr. Nakamura. He is a great clinician. I love that he is very conservative with treatment. He never tries to sell parents on very invasive treatments that other orthodontists do. Their office is very professional, we never have to wait longer than 5 minutes and 99% of the time they are ready right as we come in. Appointments are quick and thorough. Dr. Nakamura has a calm demeanor and he is great about explaining things to kids and parents. His office manager, DeAnn is so sweet. The kids adore her and she is great at her job. I have referred many families to their office and they have all been happy. Thank you to Dr. and staff for such a great experience all these years. read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Nakamura. I was treated as well as my husband and 2 boys. The doctor was so wonderful, very caring and honest. I could tell he truly loves what he does and wants all of his patients to leave his office looking perfect! The office staff was super friendly and very accommodating to mine and my kids school schedule. I couldn't be happier with my results as well as my boys. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Nakamura to anyone looking for that old fashion doctors office where you feel like family and not another dollar sign. read more

I just finished my treatment with Dr. Nakamura after 2 years and the result came our perfect. A lot of orthodontists said that I needed surgery to achieve the best result, but Dr. Nakamura could help me achieve that without surgery. Another thing is other ortho quoted me the price for Invisalign and normal braces literally the same because they want me to go with Invisalign. Only Dr. Nakamura gave me a good quote for that. Doctor and his team are super friendly and I feel really comfortable everytime I came here, and the Doctor answered all of my concerns in detail. I highly recommend Dr. Nakamura if you're considered of getting braces read more

A+ for the following reasons: *Dr. Nakamura is honest and fair. *They are great at managing patient flow. We have never had a wait! This is unlike our former orthodontist where we sometimes had to wait 45 minutes. *My son, the patient, has a rather unique orthodontic case. It caused some anxiety for me as the parent since it required oral surgery. Doctor was very good at navigating the situation and patiently educating me on the process along with being honest about the risks and potential outcomes. So far everything has worked out in our favor and we have ideal results. *The office manager is great and very responsive for scheduling. *The doctor is experienced and offered us easy, alternative solutions to procedures that another popular orthodontist wanted us to make more elaborate than necessary. Doctor Nakamura will not try to upsell as a cash grab. He has earned our trust. *Lastly, although the location is a bit off the beaten path for us as Foothill Ranch residents, we are actually in & out very quickly. They are very efficient. I zip down the 241. It's not bad at all. I love this office and wish I would have came to them a few years ago for my first son's ortho treatment. Highly recommended! read more

I had a great experience in this office. As an older patient you never know how things are going to work out but my teeth look great. The staff is fantastic the communication is fantastic and I would recommend Dr Nakamura to anyone who's looking to get braces for themselves or anyone in their family. read more

This review is long overdue. All three of my children have had braces with Dr. Nakamura and we are so pleased with the care and consideration given by him and his staff, not to mention the great results! Our family dentist recommended Dr. Nakamura, said he was the best and he was right. The 30 minute drive to the office over the past 10+ years has been worth it. Dr. Nakamura is a true professional and perfectionist. Two of my children had terrible crowding and cross bites but Dr. Nakamura gave them smiles to be proud of. Thank you, Dr. Nakamura and staff! Thank you Dee Ann for making our visits easy and pleasant! read more

I am in my 50s and I had Dr Nakamura fit me with braces. It's easy to see that he is very experienced and really knows what he is doing. He did a great job, and in less time than I thought it was going to take. He definitely can be trusted. And they are very fair with their prices. I highly recommend! read more

No one better with a nicer staff. Both our boys have beautiful teeth compliments and Dr. Nakamura!

I have gone to two different orthodontists and Dr. Nakamura knocks them out of the running. He is so kind and very direct about the kind of work I should receive and is very honest if I need it or not. DeAnn is a great manager who handled my insurance situation so greatly. Julissa has the best attitude and always greets me with a smile. Best orthodontics office in RSM. read more

Dr. Nakamura has been a fantastic Orthodontist for both my kids. Each visit is a great experience thanks to the wonderful staff they have over there. read more

Fantastic orthodontist and staff!!! Dr Nakamura is super friendly, intelligent, caring, and also very detail oriented to insure that the work you pay for is excellent in every way. I've had other kids treated for braces elsewhere and I wish I'd known about Dr Nakamura sooner. (Definitely not the same experience!) From start to finish he and his staff were excellent and I am so grateful for them and my daughter's smile shows the perfection of his work! read more

Dr Nakamura and his staff are great. It's been probably 13 years since I've been a patient of his. Saw him for my first round of braces in 3rd grade (circa 1996) and for my second round 7th grade-senior year of high school. My teeth were jacked!! I had to get 2 bicuspids extracted my overbite was that big, thus why I needed braces for so long. Finally got them off senior year and lost my top retainer shortly there after. Bottom one stopped fitting after some dental work. My teeth have pretty much stayed in place and are straight, but just recently my dentist notes I'm starting to get more space between my top teeth, mostly the left side. I went to see Dr Nakamura again to see what my options were. He could have told me I needed Invisalign or some other pricey thing. Instead he was very honest and told me since it's nothing too major, a few mm here and there, he could do an active retainer for me to help close the small gaps. Great! Opted for a more expensive bottom passive retainer (the metal and acrylic kind) to just keep them where they are. Just picked them up today. He spent his time adjusting things so they were comfortable. While I'm not looking forward to having to wear the top retainer all the time, I know it'll be worth it and cheaper than more veneers which was my other option from my dentist. His office manager Deeanne (sorry if i spelled that wrong!!) is amazing and so is all his staff. Highly recommend Dr Nakamura! read more

DeAnna-ALL STAR,,,, Dr. Nakamura's office has been awesome. We have triplets that have all required braces and retainers. The prices and payment schedules have been great. They have been wonderful if we needed to be worked in at the last minute they always managed to accommodate us. Everyone has been great, with one exception. DEANNA has been AWESOME BEYOND COMPARE, on at least two occasions we have had an emergency where one of the children was in immediate need of attention, both times the Doctor was not available nor a nurse technician. On both occasions, Sunday's and the office being closed, DeAnna home on her day off, both times DeAnn professed she did not know if she could help as her job was the front desk and both times she volunteered to come try and help. And both times she solved the problem relieved the pain and saved the day. This last time it was early on a Sunday morning and I am certain I woke her up. Both times I tried to tip her and both times she refused, Dr.N you are fortunate to-have such a wonderful loyal staff member. Five stars, triple AAA, 10 out of 10. Barry Clark 406-471-4514 read more

Very sweet, kind doctor. Willing to see daughter urgently. Kind about us constantly changing appointments.

Nakamura did my daughter's braces & her teeth look great. Great office staff, always on time and the price is great. My son just started treatment & has been just as smooth. Recommend him highly. read more

The prices are pretty good here, the staff is nice. Dr. Nakamura likes to talk though. He's not a very good listener either. If you have a concern or question, he may just ignore you and keep on talking. I had two children get their braces here and they do have nice strait teeth, but I am looking for another orthodontist. for my youngest. Some times I can't tell if he's doing something because it's the right thing for my children or he just wants more money. He's okay, I'm not jumping off the ceiling excited about him and not upset either, but I don't plan on my 3rd child going to get braces here. My friend referred me to him and she loved him, so maybe it's just me. read more

I have been so pleased with Dr. Nakamura and his entire staff. Everyone is so patient, kind and helpful. I have two kids who have completed their braces and one in her final phase. Deanne has been very helpful with insurance and making sure we would receive every benefit allotted to us! read more

Dr. Nakamura was the orthodontist for my older son, and now for my younger son, age 14. We have nothing but good things to report about Dr. Nakamura and his office staff. Dr. Nakamura is kind and caring and he takes the time to explain everything thoroughly. His work has been excellent. My older son, who had a severe overbite, has a beautiful smile for over 5 years now. My younger son is in his second year of work and we see great progress. The office is well run. It is impeccably clean, and they always seem to run on-time which we appreciate! Deanne, the office administrator is friendly and always accommodating, and knows the insurance process well. She takes good care of us. And we always appreciate her reminder phone calls. I highly recommended Dr. Nakamura for orthodontic treatment. read more

Dr. Nakamura and staff are top notch! Thank you DeAnn for always making me feel welcome and working around my difficult schedule. If you are looking for an Orthodontist office that really cares about their patients, then Dr. Nakamura and his staff will not disappoint! read more
