We were on a vacation in Carlsbad and, wouldn't you know it - my daughter forgot the rubber bands for her braces. Argh! I called Hulse and they were so helpful and friendly! They gave us the rubber bands at no charge. Now that is what I call great customer service, especially considering that my daughter wasn't even their patient! Thank you, Hulse Orthodontics! read more

My whole family has seen Dr. Hulse. As an adult I needed braces for the first time. It wasn't something I looked forward to but the whole office atmosphere made it easier. Janet is also a rock star in taking care of all the insurance paperwork no matter how complicated it may be (other offices makes you do all the calls and pre-authorization etc..). They offer free consult so go have one today! read more

I think that Dr. Hulse and his team are the best orthodontics office in North County by far. I got my braces off about 6 months ago and they look great. I used to be very self conscience about my teeth and would get very bad anxiety when I spoke with people. Now that the problem is gone, thanks to his team and him, I feel so much confident now! The team he works with are great! Very clean office and a lot of positive vibes in the place. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that is thinking about getting braces and I guarantee Dr. Hulse will do his thing. read more

I am so happy I made the decision to get braces and to chose Dr. Hulse Orthodontics in Carlsbad. Dr. Hulse is an amazing person; he always greeted me with a smile and treated me like a friend. After 1.5 years of treatment I am so pleased with the results and couldn't be happier with my teeth. Thank you to Dr. Hulse and to all his friednly staff. Great job. read more

Hulse Orthodontics is the best! I highly recommend them without any reservations whatsoever. You won't be disappointed if you choose to go there. Everyone there is so pleasant and cheerful and they really know what they're doing. They make the kids (and adults) feel at ease and welcome. The office is clean and inviting. They are very thorough, and don't recommend unnecessary work. We have really enjoyed working with them and my husband's and child's teeth look amazing (one had invisalign and one had braces). We couldn't be happier with the experience. They really are that good. read more

This review is long overdue! Dr. Hulse and his team are amazing! They are always happy and energetic. I have two daughters that needed braces at the same time. They worked with us financially so that we were able to get their braces started at the same time. One of my daughters had a very hard mouth to fix! Everyone told us that she would have to have jaw surgery. During our consultation Dr. Hulse was honest and said that there was a big possibility that we would have to do the surgery, but he was going to do everything he could to avoid that route. And guess what, she didn't need the surgery! Our first daughter had an easier case and her braces are off now and her smile and teeth look beautiful, we couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Hulse Orthodontics they really are the best! read more

We have been so happy with Dr. Hulse and his entire team. From the ease of making appointments to the pain of having to deal with FSA people to the perfect teeth my son now has. Can't thank them enough for the gorgeous smile:) read more

After visiting Hulse Orthodontics today, we were thoroughly impressed. We went in for a consultation expecting to have to spend money to fix my husband's tooth and after meeting with Dr. Hulse, we were quite surprised to hear that there was a better way of taking care of his tooth and that he wouldn't need braces. It was amazing to have a Doctor tell you that you don't need to spend thousands of dollars. Dr. Hulse was really in the best interest of our needs, not out to just make money, which you don't find often! I would recommend him in a heart beat to anyone. All of the staff were incredibly nice and very efficient. It is so good to know there are still good people out there doing business. read more

Dr. Hulse and his team are great. I've been going to him for Invisalign treatment and every appointment has been easy to schedule as well as their office having a great atmosphere with excellent, high tech equipment. I would recommend Hulse Orthodontics without reservation. read more

Dr. Hulse and his staff are the best in the business, and it's not even close. You will receive outstanding care in a friendly and professional environment. read more

After 28 months I just got my braces off. Whoa - my teeth are beautiful! I am thrilled with the results. Spending so much time, not to mention expense, you want an orthodontist and staff extraordinaire to help you through the process. Dr. Hulse and his staff are just that. Upbeat, fun and professional. When you walk through the door you are greeted with many hellos and smiles. The office runs consistently on time, but are always willing to fit you in for a poking wire. Everyone there treats you like you are their favorite patient. It just doesn't get any better. read more

i've had the best experience as an older adult with braces. the whole staff is professional,friendly and fun! the ambiance is light and always with the right music; i get kinda excited to go to my appts. dr hulse is a champ! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Hulse. He is very patient, skilled, and fun...always smiling. His office is very high-tech and clean. He takes the time to make you feel comfortable and understand what's going on with your teeth. I am so glad I got my braces through Dr. Hulse. read more

I wish I could give Hulse Orthodontics more than five stars. I just completed my Invisalign treatment and my results are wonderful. Every staff member is top notch; my treatment plan was always communicated clearly and the office environment is so much fun. I highly recommend to anyone looking for the best orthodontic treatment! read more

Dr Hulse and his staff are some of the most caring, involved medical staff I have ever dealt with. My daughter has been a patient there for five years. At the end of her treatment, her teeth look absolutely beautiful. I never felt anything but total support, as well as fully involved in her care. When her braces came off, the celebration party was truly amazing and made her day. read more

So many wonderful things to say about Dr. Hulse and his office staff!! Not only is the office itself beautiful but everything about it has a fun energy and is very welcoming;) My experience with Dr. Hulse was amazing! (I was getting braces for the second time...the first time being as a teenager who stopped wearing my retainers so my teeth moved back) I never felt like Dr. Hulse was trying to 'up-sale' me on the latest and greatest but was sincerely suggesting a plan that was best for me and would give me the best results! I ended up getting clear braces on the top and metal on the bottom, and as embarrassing as it was being an adult with braces (kids...WEAR YOUR RETAINERS!! lol!) I knew the end result would be worth it and that I was in very capable hands! I had my braces on for a little less than a year and I am thrilled with the way my teeth look! I have so much more confidence when I smile and I owe it all to the amazing Dr. Hulse;) I would tell anyone who is looking for a GREAT doctor to consider Hulse Orthodontics! You will not be disappointed! read more

I went to Hulse Orthodontics because I was grinding my teeth at night which caused my jaw to hurt and I had crowding of my lower teeth. I did not want braces so I decided on Invisalign. I am very happy with my results. All my teeth are perfectly straight and grinding at night is no longer an issue with the clear Invisalign trays. Most importantly, my jaw pain is gone! Dr Hulse is very nice and easy to talk with and I would like to thank Kim and Maddie for always making me feel welcome and brightening up my day. read more

Dr. Hulse and his staff are amazing. I have three boys who have gone through or are in the process of going through braces. Dr. Hulse does fantastic work and it is such a warm, friendly office. Everyone there is kind and patient and the atmosphere really puts the kids at ease. The added bonus is that we've never had to wait in the lobby for our appointments...they get the kids right in and are very efficient! read more

I am so impressed with the entire team at Hulse Orthodontics! The minute I walked in they were so nice and attentive. I got in to see Dr. Hulse almost immediately, and he was so nice and I was so impressed with him. He made my teeth look absolutely stunning after I finished my Invisalign treatment. He polished and shaped them, and they look like new teeth! I would definitely recommend him. I had been going to a different orthodontist, and going to see Dr. Hulse was like finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! It made me see how terrible my old ortho was! He is truly an honest, nice man and wants your teeth to look the best they can and be healthy. You will not be let down. read more

You will be hard pressed to find a better orthodontist in town! Dr. Hulse had a great rapport with my daughter, always explained procedures and processes in terms that made sense. He is also a perfectionist, settling for nothing but the best for the patient! The staff is also outstanding, creating an environment that is friendly and professional. During the entire two years my daughter was a patient, I never had a single issue with her treatment, scheduling, etc. It was always a pleasant experience to be at Dr. Hulse's office! read more

Love love love Hulse Orthodontics! Dr Hulse and his staff are super friendly and very professional. I would highly recommend Hulse Orthodontics. I came in to see if I was a candidate for Invisilign. I was :) and the office billed my insurance and worked out a payment plan for the remaining balance that would work for me. I just finished my Invisilign treatment and am very happy with the results and my new smile! Thanks Dr. Hulse! read more

Hulse Orthodontics really has it all figured out! From the moment you walk in the door, you step into a beautiful office. It almost feels like you are walking into a home. You are always greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. I hate when you go into an office and the receptionist doesn't even look up. When ever I walk in they always greet me by name and ask how I'm doing. I have never had to wait more then 2 minutes. As a full time professional I appreciate their flexible hours and their quick service. The ladies in the back are just as nice and well trained. They are always smiling and even remembered to ask me how my trip to Australia was. I know that they truly care about me and my treatment. Dr H really knows how to hire great employees! I am currently in Invisalign with Dr Hulse. I had braces when I was younger and I couldn't imagine getting them again. Dr H reassured me I could get back my perfect smile back in no time. Dr H is one of the nicest men I have ever met and I know he genuinely cares about my treatment. He and his staff really have it all figured out. They function as a team and make me feel as though I'm apart of the Hulse team. I would not go any where else for my orthodontic treatment! I tell every one I can about Hulse Orthodontics because I want everyone to have the same amazing experience as I have had. When my kids are old enough they will definitely be seeing Dr Hulse and his team. Thank for everything Team Hulse!!! read more

This week was my one-year followup from having my braces removed after 18 months of wearing them as Dr. Hulse's patient. I was reminded again of how professional, skilled and compassionate Dr. Hulse is. His "bedside manner" is impeccable -- and genuine. His staff is knowledgeable and caring -- this team is top notch! As a 63-yr-old getting the diagnosis of needing braces for a severely deep bite that was causing teeth to break, I was shocked and completely clueless about what to expect. Dr. Hulse, his office manager, Janet, and everyone on his team took the time to explain and coach me through what was the best experience one could ever hope for while getting braces put on and dealing with day-to-day "joys" of wearing them. Dr. Hulse is the king or orthodontics in my book, his prices are more than fair, the office is beautiful and easily accessible, and the team is super! My grandchildren will be going here one day soon with my highest recommendation! read more

I could not have asked for a better experience! Choosing an orthodontist can be an overwhelming task. There are a lot of options out there and it's important to take time to find the right one. Dr. Hulse and his amazing staff made it an easy decision for me from the minute I first inquired. They are a class act all around! Everyone in the office is extremely professional, friendly, caring, and accommodating. I can honestly say it was an absolute pleasure going there every month for a year! Dr. Hulse demonstrates that he genuinely cares for his patients and is committed to providing not only a great experience, but also outstanding orthodontic care. At every appointment he took time to explain, listen, and even laugh with my four year old daughter who he (and his entire staff) always welcomed into the office with a big smile. He always made me feel like I was his only patient and was genuinely happy for me with each month of progress. I can't recommend Dr. Hulse and his team highly enough. There is no doubt in my mind that if my two young children need braces someday they, too, will be patients of his. I am so happy with my new smile and that I chose Dr. Hulse to make it happen! Thank you Team Hulse! read more
