My child has EXTREME anxiety regarding all things medical, dental, etc. Even the eye doctor is frightening. So I was pleasantly surprised how well our visit with Dr West went. Once we explained the anxiety, he was very kind and gracious with my kiddo. He explained things well and picked up immediately when my child was going down an anxiety path and adjusted his approach and words accordingly. As a parent, I also appreciated how he explained the procedures my child was needing, why they were necessary, and how we could do each one. I also appreciated the Payment options offered. Overall very happy with our experience so far! Will update as we have more experiences read more

Dr and his dental assistants are fantastic! Very thorough and thoughtful in the entire process of braces for ALL our kids. WARNING: The receptionists hate everyone and it's not you, or just a bad day. Thankfully the dr and his non phone answering, non appointment booking staff are worth any verbal shrapnel or visual death stairs you get from the process of booking or paying for their services. Do not take any snarky comments or sighs from front office staff personally, think Seinfeld 'soup kitchen' episode and try to think happy thoughts. read more

Dr West and his entire staff are an asset to the community. Not only is his office completely professional and organized- but they put clients at ease. One child went through their entire ortho experience (2 stages) and we have nothing but positive things to say. We moved prior to our other child getting ortho work, but Dr West has remained a great professional asset to our 2nd child's needs. He was involved in an accident and needs quite a bit of extra work and a team of dental professionals they work cohesively. This was especially challenging when moving, and Dr West provided support and research for finding a new team to work with outside of Truckee. Highly recommend!!! read more

Amazing doctor and techs!! If you are adult looking to get your smile redone please see him. He is a wonderful Ortho!! I have had a lot of orthodontic and dental work done and would highly recommend Dr. West and his team. So happy with my teeth. I was a pretty complex case that had relapsed after prior Ortho treatment and he worked with me for a year a half to get teeth back on track. Techs are lovely also and really kind. read more

Jerad L. West, DDS - West Orthodontics - Braces off!! - Orthodontists Near Me - Truckee, California

We live out of town but needed elastics for my daughter so we popped by unannounced and the lovely folks of this orthodontist office freely gave us packs of elastics! So kind, they totally didn't need to do this for us. This speaks volumes as to the kind of establishment they are. read more

Great patience and care with our family! My daughter has a challenging case and Dr West is always very thoughtful and takes time explaining the options and the best plan to follow. read more

I started seeing Dr. West for Invisalign this summer. His office is extremely professional and very modern. They obviously cater a lot to kids and their braces so they offer fun snowboarding or cool Planet Earth DVDs playing while you are "in the chair" and have coffee, water and drinks for the waiting parents and other patients. Everyone in the office is very professional without being scary or stuffy :) And Dr. West is extremely friendly. He also explains every step as he is about to start but without adding time to your appointment. If you need an orthodontist, you won't find a better one. read more

Got me in same day, ONLY Bc someone cancelled, I'm sure it's hard to pull that off every time but it was awesome nonetheless! The entire staff and Dr. West are very nice and accommodating. Plus, he fixed my retainer in 15 minutes and I was charged a VERY reasonable price...extremely thankful!! read more

A small hop outside Truckee, but very accessible for most of North Lake Tahoe. Very friendly and hands-on staff, would highly recommend Dr. West to anyone. Came in with one of those vocational emergencies, son hadn't misplace his retainer for about +2 weeks and it no longer fitted. Dr. West to the rescue! 15 minutes later my son's retainer is fixed and ready again for use. Hail Mary! Thanks. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! read more

I would give him 10 stars if I could! Dr. West and his team truly saved us in a time of dental emergency while on vacation. A wire from my niece's braces suddenly started sticking out into her cheek and causing her terrible pain, so she couldn't eat and was reduced to tears. On vacation up here, we had no idea who to call, but luckily we have great neighbors (to our vacation home) in Truckee who directed us to West Orthodontics, where there kids have clearly received great service. Despite a full practice at a busy time, they made time to fit in my niece for an appointment immediately. Dr. West was not only extremely professional and efficient in fixing the dental problem, he made my niece feel at ease and really seemed like he cared. He left my niece with some handy dental wax and a big smile. We can't thank Dr. West and his staff enough for rescuing us in this time of family emergency and we give them our highest possible recommendation!!! read more

Really great service. Very professional. Exelent staff, plus you get entertainment with the extreme sports on tv. Could not ask for a better experience. read more

Great staff, short drive from truckee dr. West is super nice, my treatment is going great

Today we went to Dr. West on an emergency basis. He saw us promptly and fixed my son's problem quickly and painlessly. We are visiting Truckee and were so delighted to find Dr. West. The office was clean, the staff courteous. I highly recommend him. read more

I very highly recommend West orthodontics they have given both of my children beautiful smiles for a very reasonable price staff is amazing and the environment is wonderful read more

What a great office! We were on vacation and one of my daughter's ties broke on her braces. They got us in same-day, fixed her tie, checked her entire set of braces for other potential problems, and were just really nice folks. Makes me wish we lived in Truckee and could use them instead of our regular orthodontist. read more

West Orthodontics is fantastic! Dr. West and his staff are professional, attentive, friendly, reasonable, accommodating and best of all, excellent at their jobs! West Orthodontics makes going through the braces (Invisalign) phase as an adult an exciting journey rather than a trepidatious one. I highly recommend West Orthodontics for both children and adult orthodontia needs. read more

Dr. West is a great person and an excellent orthodontist. He was patient, caring and knowledgeable and wanted to help me get the results I desired. Both of my children will be getting their orthodontia work done by him in the near future. I can without a doubt recommend Dr. West for both adult and child orthodontia work and can also tell you going to someone in Reno will likely be a mistake (as it was for me). Save yourself the hassle and time of having to ask Dr. West to fix what a Reno orthodontist did not and just go directly to Dr. West in the first place. I wish I had, but am glad I found him in the end. Very highly recommend this kind, smart and professional orthodontist! read more

While on vacation, my son had a bracket break freee and was bothering him alot. Not knowing any dentist in the area, we found Dr. West's office. They were able to see my son within about 30 minutes of me calling. It's great to know you can find an office, and they will see you ASAP. We were very both very impressed with the Dr. and his staff. Great job!! read more
