We love Dr. Meeks! All three of my kids have been patients, as well as their dad and me, and we cannot recommend him enough. Both offices and staff are excellent and provide top-notch care with a smile. Our family has had Invisilign, regular braces, retainers, spacers, and pretty much everything else amongst the five of us and Dr. Meeks' staff was amazing in working with our insurance and appointment scheduling since multiple kids were under care at the same time. You can't go wrong with Dr. Meeks and he will definitely leave you smiling! read more

Dr. Meeks is the absolute best. After being highly referred from the Ladera moms he was the only ortho we saw. I was impressed with our consult and started treatment right away. Kyndal is finished and the end result is a perfect beautiful smile. Dr. Meeks was meticilous and made sure everything was just right before being done. We had no idea that Kyndal had a baby tooth that was stuck in the gumline because a tooth fragment had formed under it and was preventing it from coming down. She had to have oral surgery to remove the fragment and then a chain was conneccted from the baby tooth in the gums and each visit he would pull it just so until it settled into its proper place. So crazy. Highly reccomend Dr. Meeks and his staff is also wonderful! read more

Dr. Meeks was amazing! Our experience was wonderful. He was honest and trustworthy. His staff was extremely helpful as well. I appreciated that he was honest and didn't encourage braces for my second child until she was really ready. I learned that not all kids need 2 phases. My oldest just got her braces off and her smile is beautiful. Thank you Dr. Meeks!! read more

Customer service: 110% I haven't seen better costumer service in many other places. Chair comfort: 80% They tried to make you comfortable but they weren't adamant about making sure you were comfortable. They weren't as gentle as I've seen some dentists be. Quality of work: 90% Could improve but was still quality. read more

We've had such a great experience with Dr. Meeks. He is knowledgeable, honest about treatment plans and makes his patients (and their parents) feel at ease. Robin at the front office is wonderful, she's so kind, courteous and prompt! Thank you! read more

James M Meeks, DDS, MS - Nothing but smiles! - Orthodontists Near Me - Ladera Ranch, California

This office is the friendliest office in Orange County! The staff is amazing...always smiling and willing to go above and beyond for you. Dr. Meeks is a great orthodontist and very honest. We went in several times before he said my son was ready for treatment. When we actually began treatment we were told to expect 18-24 months...after just 14 months he was ready to have his braces removed. We highly recommend Dr. Meeks and his awesome staff!!! read more

James M Meeks, DDS, MS - Dr. Meeks does great work! - Orthodontists Near Me - Ladera Ranch, California

Our family couldn't be happier with Dr Meeks and staff. First off, his goals aligned with our family - straight, healthy teeth with the least amount of torture for my kiddos. We got bids from 3 local orthos and not only was Dr Meeks the most affordable, it was the least amount of "stuff". His office is casual and fun. My VERY nervous kids were put at ease immediately. I was referred to the office from my cousin who had 3 kids go through the practice with similar happy results. read more

I was referred to Dr. Meeks by my dentist, for adult Invisalign treatment. Dr. Meeks is an extraordinary Orthodontist! He truly is a master at his craft and is an incredible person, he treats all his patients like they are family. The office staff is exceedingly kind, friendly, and so professional, they go above and beyond to treat each patient with incredible care. The office is beautiful, exceptionally clean, well-organized, and the technology they use is state of the art. My treatment plan was during the time of COVID, when all offices were mandated to shut down. During the stay-at-home order, Dr. Meeks took the time to speak with me over the phone, and review photos that I sent to him to periodically check my progress. Once the office reopened, I was impressed with the safety practices and measures that Dr. Meeks and his team have put into place, to ensure the safety of his patients. I was still right on track with my Invisalign treatment plan! My teeth look fantastic and I was overly pleased with the outcome. I give my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a top-notch orthodontist for braces, Invisalign for both children and adults! read more

Here's my middle son after getting his braces removed yesterday (see picture). read more

Dr. Meeks and the rest of the team have been absolutely wonderful! Dr. Meeks is friendly and approachable, provides individualized care, and truly cares for his patients. The facility is very clean, the administration side is very organized, and it's easy to set appointments. I've been so impressed with the care they have provided to my daughter that I've signed up for my own orthodontist needs as well, and plan to have my son taken care of by Dr. Meeks when the time comes. Highly recommend! read more

James M Meeks, DDS, MS - Son finishing his braces! - Orthodontists Near Me - Ladera Ranch, California

The best of the best! Dr. Meeks and his staff could not have been any better!!! Our 15 year old daughter had her braces done by them and her teeth look absolutely perfect now. We thought her case was going to be difficult since she had a pesky baby tooth that was blocking her adult tooth from coming in properly. Dr. Meeks took care of it and made it seem so easy. This doctor is amazing with his patients and everyone loves him. He's one of the nicest guys around and he does the best work. His two offices are absolutely beautiful and state-of-the-art, and his staff is always friendly and knowledgable. There are a lot of orthodontists around, but this guy stands out among the best of the best both clinically and personally. I highly recommend Dr. Meeks to everyone I know! read more

We have had a fantastic experience with Dr. Meeks and his office staff. When we went for the consultation, he was able to say that my daughter would only need braces for 24 months. The first thing they did was take photos as well as xrays. He was very thorough and they were able to tell me exactly what our insurance would cover, and all expenses were included. We have not been nickel and dimed. It was always easy to schedule appointments, and they were always running on time - we never had to wait long. Dr. Meeks made our daughter feel very comfortable. He is very knowledgeable and doesn't make promises he can't keep. My daughter got her braces on in April 2015 and was told 24 months. She was faithful with doing what he asked her to (with regards to wearing her rubber bands, etc) and she got her braces off last week, eight months early! We would highly recommend Dr. Meeks and if our son needs braces, we will be going back to him. read more

Our 16 yr old daughter had braces placed in August 2009. Dr. Meeks' office is clean and modern. The staff is friendly and helpful, especially with scheduling and rescheduling. Appointments have always started on time. I like that they will send you appointment reminders via email as well as calling your home. Our daughter has not had any negative experiences since becoming a patient here. The waiting area is in close proximity to where the patients are worked on. A good thing for a parent who might be apprehensive about not being able to see their child during a procedure. They also allow the parent to stand next to their child if desired, but there's not any available seating. Besides, I'd rather wait in the lobby where there's a coffee pod machine, magazines, and an amazing fish tank to look at! read more

We love Dr. Meeks! My brother and I both got our ortho work done by Dr. Meeks when we were in middle/high school... back when he was in his original office in Aliso Viejo/Laguna Niguel area. The Ladera Ranch office is MUCH nicer, even though it was a tiny bit out of the way... but worth it. It's been a while, but I know we were really happy with our results and loved both Dr. Meeks and the rest of his staff (since you spend a good amount of time with both of them). My teeth unfortunately aren't perfectly aligned anymore, but I think that's more my fault for not wearing my retainer regularly... booo... so... wear your retainer! read more

Dr. Meeks has been our orthodontist for both of my daughters. He is amazing, his staff is amazing and My girls teeth look amazing! My dad was a general dentist for 40 years so I was very selective when picking an orthodontist for my kids. Both my girls needed 2 phases but my son will probably only need 1 phase. I say this because he looks at each kid and doesn't just do the same for everyone. I highly recommend Dr. Meeks!!! read more

Love this office! Dr.Meeks and staff are so warm and friendly. Always great to see them for appt. My son's teeth look absolutely fabulous! read more

Dr. Meeks is fabulous! All three of my kids have gone to him and we are beyond pleased with their results. Not only does he have years of knowledge and experience, he has great bedside manner. A friendly Doctor that takes time to listen and talk to you is so important. His office is clean and his back and front office staff are top notch. We are super busy with the kids sports and activities and sometimes need to cancel, they are understanding and somehow manage to quickly fit us into another slot with little or no wait time. I highly recommend Dr. Meeks!!! read more

My daughter just got her braces off and her teeth look amazing. Dr. Meeks and his staff are so nice, the office is very family friendly and they make you feel right at home.

The Best! We just came home from our second daughter getting her braces off. She's thrilled, and so are we. Although, it's bittersweet to know that we won't be visiting Doc Meeks' office anymore. Through both of our daughters' treatments, he's been amazing... truly professional, a perfectionist, and most importantly... fully understanding of the concerns of the kids AND the parents. His staff have become like a second family, and they were always the only "appointment" that both daughters never dreaded. Thank you Dr Meeks and staff, for giving both of our girls beautiful smiles, and keeping them smiling through the entire process. We love you guys! read more

Such a wonderful staff and a great experience for our family! Everyone made us feel so welcome. The tools available to book appts, email reminders and texts, helps keep us organized. It's been such a pleasure to work with and get to know Dr. Meeks!! We love the results :-) read more

I was a patient over 15 years ago and I absolutely loved going to see Dr. Meeks. He is such a nice guy and was always professional and personable. My teeth still look amazing after all this time even though I often forget to wear my retainer. read more

Our extended family (twoadults over 40, 4 children from 8 to 21) have or are using Dr. Meeks, (Tustin office) all with great results and great service. Office staff has always remembered us and the answer has allways been "no problem' come on in and we'll take care of it. Had Orthos 30 years ago but my teeth moved (alot) out of position, and I was begining to look like I was from the UK or Alabama. One sitting for the install, 6 Months later they are looking great. I have not been to the Ladera Ranch office but the NEW one in Tustin "C" street is great. Reminds me of my First MD's office in Concord Mass. read more

I'll echo the other reviewers - all positive feedback for Dr. Meeks and his team. I've had two kids, each with two rounds of braces, plus all the in-between of broken hardware, vague complaining from the kids that required an immediate interim appointment, and (me) having to re-schedule appointments due to kid or work schedules. The office has been great throughout - appointments are easy and they get the kids in and out on time, the billing is straightforward, and everything works. The kids both loved Dr. Meeks and staff; they always wanted to go to their appointments. And, most importantly, the teeth look great. read more
