Dr. Digiovanni is a really good orthodontist! He really cares for his patients. As you can see from my pictures, he has so many opportunities for kids to get prizes and play games in his office. He really made his office like a little aquarium! One staff told me he did it all himself!!! I couldn't believe it. For me, I had a consultation with him. He referred me to a periodontist because of my receding gum line. Even the periodontist that I saw spoke very highly of Dr. Digiovanni. To me that really says something about his work ethics and caring for his patients individually. He doesn't want to just do a job if it's not worth it or the outcome won't be as what the patient wants. Highly recommend this orthodontist! read more

Misleading... they advertise they take new patients but then wanted to charge me money to see the orthodontist for a consult. Essentially, I have to pay for a meet and greet. It gets even crazier, they wanted my prior orthodontist to sign a permission slip, like I'm going on a 4th grade field trip, if it's ok I see another orthodontist to finish up treatment. I spoke to the office manager and she stated the same. As such, the appointment was cancelled. I have free will to go to any orthodontist I choose and don't need to ask permission from anyone to do so. Even if I didn't want to continue treatment and just simply have a retainer made, they still wanted to follow the same protocol, where I pay just to meet the orthodontist (no work done) and get a permission slip signed. Ridiculous... UPDATE: As explained in a private message to Dr. DiGiovanni, this is NOT a law (look it up) but more so a rule their office came up with. I have contacted Align Technology via email (makers of Invisalign) who also shared my sentiments (see highlighted section on attached photo). After contacting Dr. DiGiovanni's office, I contacted a "diamond level" Invisalign provider (highest level they have) who did the work I needed done ... and wait for it... never had to get a permission slip or ask my previous orthodontist. This is not just my experience, but also the experience of a close friend who also changed providers and didn't need a permission slip signed. It's no different than if you want to change doctors, you don't need to ask your old doctor if you can go to a new one, needing them agree in order to leave... you simply leave and find a new doctor. Not only did I get the work done elsewhere, I also didn't have to pay a consultation fee either. Dr. DiGiovanni's office wanted hundreds just to MEET the doctor. Get out of here! read more

I'll start off by saying my first experience with this office was not great. It was mostly a scheduling error, and I waited for an hour to see Dr. DG (or so I thought), but ended up seeing another Dr who said she needed to get his input. It left kind of a negative impression for me and I almost didn't come back. That being said, I decided to give them another chance and SO glad I did. I went back in today and had an amazing experience. The waiting room has tons of fun things for the kids/teens to do so they don't mind waiting. I met Dr. DG and he had excellent bedside manner. He's very thorough and took the time to explain everything extensively. And then there is his assistant Raquel. That woman is a true gem. She is organized, friendly, extremely knowledgeable. As an owner of a medical practice myself, I appreciate good talent and she is the best. I will be starting treatment with their office for my son and if you are looking for an orthodontist, look no further. I highly recommend! read more

John DiGiovanni Orthodontics - Orthodontists Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Dr. DiGiovanni's office is by far one of the most welcoming, decorative, and professional orthodontics. It's a beautiful feeling for children and for adults. I, myself, feel so pampered and cared for while just sitting in the waiting room. Once you have your check up, your care team never fails to explain every step of your treatment and what to expect next. Dr. DiGi and his team are true experts in the orthodontics field and you will not regret saying yes to Dr. DiGi. After experiencing Dr. DiGi's level of professionalism and experience, he was the first ortho doctor I thought of when my husband's teeth began to shift! Both my husband and I were very happy with our ortho care and our decision in trusting Dr. DiGiovanni. read more

I want to thank Dr DiGiovanni for the treatment of my daughter Renata Monteverde, for his quality time in explaining the orthodontic treatment process to us and very excited to see the transformation and aesthetics at the end of it, but above all for how extraordinary it is and with a big heart. And I also thank Alba for her treatment and very courteous manner in which she treated us, and Kim K who did an excellent job very carefully and explaining the care and how to do her new oral hygiene with her braces, at reception they welcomed us very kindly, everything very synchronized and everything on time. Thank you all for your ethics and professionalism. read more

If you are looking for a professional, caring ortho office with modern equipment and a tenured team, check out Dr. DiGiovanni's clinic. My family has been Dr. DiGiovanni's patients for almost two years now, and the experience we had was above and beyond. As a new patient, I was looking for three things: an experienced doctor, clear financial commitment, convenient location. Dr. DiGiovanni teaches at UCI, and he is one of the top-tier Invisalign providers. His team works for him for years, and they have a very established routine. I got all the financial details and estimates after my first appointment. Finally, the office is near Fashion Island in Newport Beach with enough parking. It is stylish and friendly inside. My son and I have now completed the ortho treatment, and we are happy with the results. On a side note: I'm always happy to patronize businesses that support local communities and play an active part in them. All contests and celebrations that are happening at Dr. DiGiovanni's offices are making a huge difference. It is a responsible, community-oriented business that makes people smile. read more

I love this office so much. My son is getting his phase 1 here and I know he is in good hands. I had my braces here twenty years ago and I'm so happy I can bring my kids. Dr. DG is the best. read more

There is only one orthodontist in the Orange County area to see, Dr. John DiGiovanni! I can't say enough about the type of care my family received at this practice. Just to start the office staff alone is inviting and professional, not to mention the friendly office assistant Jaime! She always greets my kids with a smile and is flexible with appointment setting. The professional orthodontic assistants are exceptional in this practice. Especially Jackie and Pluis, they provided exceptional care to both of my teens and myself. Besides the quality of care, they were friendly and always provided a comfortable and safe space. Honestly, the orthodontic assistant Jackie was the highlight of each visit. Not to mention both of my kids have perfectly straight teeth, thanks to Dr. John DiGiovanni's care. So if you are looking for the best in the OC call Jaime and book your visit. read more

Dr DiGi's office staff are super nice, helpful and efficient. I had a retainer made and it was done in one day. Let me repeat one day and it fits perfectly. I highly recommend him. A rarity these days to find such a great doctor. He is top notch. read more

For the best orthodontia experience and smile in Orange County, you can't look any further than Dr. DiGiovanni's practice. I haven't been back to Dr. DiGiovanni's office since 2009, and this time I was in dyer need of two new retainers. To my surprise, I was able to get an appointment the very next day. The office itself is beautiful, staff is amazing and kind, and my consultation with Dr. DiGi was so easy after so many years have passed. The best part, they had my retainers ready the next day. I am so grateful for how easy this process was. Thanks for an awesome experience, even so many years later. read more

Total Waste of time and money! Parents, do your home work before coming here, not every kid need stage 1& 2 for Ortho treatment, only dr.DiGi recommends it in 95%, as he mentioned to me and promised that my son only needs 1st stage. Well, assistant mounted brackets sideways and my sons teeth tilted to the wrong direction and it took DiGi only 6 months to remount them properly, he was too busy to even see my son before that. Then they just suddenly stopped treatment as soon as monthly payments of "first stage" been finished and it was not even close to be done and asked for another 4+K and I waved them goodbye. I was so upset because believed dr. that my son ONLY needs 1st stage. I was beyond frustrated and went to another orthodontist and she just laughed and said that I got ripped by hungry NB doctor who needs to pay rent for his fancy offices. read more

My dentist of over 20 years suggested Dr. DiGiovanni for my Orthodontia needs. The office is nicely decorated and you can see they have a ton of clients. I am sure they were good at some point, but they are too busy to take on new customers. I honestly would not suggest them. Too many things went wrong. 1) The online system notifies you of your appointment with the wrong time. Since I showed up late, I was not able to see Dr. Digiovanni. They continued to take prelim pictures in order to do a 3D Mock Up. 2) They have a special new patient coordinator that assured me that Dr. Digi would contact me with next steps. I am not sure if the new patient coordinator screwed up or this was a huge miss by the Orthodontist. 3) My appointment was on June 8th and I have never heard back from them. I just double checked my insurance to see if they tried to put in a claim and I did not find one. Hope this helps anyone considering Dr. John DiGiovanni's office. Alicia read more

Thank you Dr. DiGiovanni for the wonderful service, quality, and amazing staff. My daughters self-esteem and confidence has increased because of her amazing smile.

Both my son and I are patients of Dr. DiGiovanni and have had an outstanding experience from the start to finish! Highly recommend this office... every person is helpful and friendly! read more

I love the fun and friendly vibe of DiGiovanni and Cook! I honestly have not been to any other dental office that goes above and beyond in creating an interactive space for kids, adults and families. For those nervous about getting check ups...the aquariums are relaxing. They celebrate your orthodontic milestones with you, often by giving flowers or other gifts. Finding any healthcare professional who provides the highest quality of care in a welcoming and comfortable manner is difficult. I always shop around. If you are tired of shopping...bingo! Here you go. You'll have to keep visiting the office so come here and make it enjoyable. read more

It's been 13 years since I had braces with Dr. DiGiovanni, and I couldn't be more grateful for the work he did. My teeth are straight, healthy, and look great! read more

Dr. DiGiovanni is the absolute best! I am so so thankful my family ultimately found Dr DG and his wonderful staff. I was told by my other orthodontists my son would need tooth extractions or need jaw surgery and after consulting with a jaw surgeon I really wanted to avoid surgery if at all possible. A friend referred me to this office stating her family had a great experience and Dr. DG was super talented and the office was top notch. I soon learned of many other people in Costa Mesa who Had gone to Dr. DiGiovanni for the orthodontia and had nothing but amazing things to say about their experience and results From the first visit I was super impressed.He and his staff Were really friendly knowledgeable and obviously organized. I received a detailed and friendly phone call prior to my appointment which was a nice touch. Dr. DiGiovanni made my son feel great about himself and the process of braces. He presented one option is surgery but two other options that I felt much more comfortable withThat didn't involve surgery or tooth extraction. My son is actually looking forward to starting his treatment next month. I expected the fees to be much more for someone of his caliber and being in Newport Beach also after hearing reviews of his top-notch work from friends But they were no different from the quotes I received in other offices I found Dr. DiGiovanni and his entire staff really fun and professional and I can see why everyone raves about this office read more

Dr. DiGiovanni is a dental artist. I have been complemented many times for my smile, and its all thanks to his decades of expertise in creating head turning smiles. It is evident the moment you walk into their office, that he and his knowledgeable staff truly love and take pride in their profession. They understand each client has unique needs, and are quick to asses and clearly explain the best approach and procedures to transform your smile into a PERFECT smile. read more

Dr Di Giovanni is by far a quality dentist who takes his time to greet and know his patients. Commuting from Long Beach up to Newport was probably the best thing I have ever done to my mouth. I highly recommend Dr Di Giovanni. I have never received better treatment then I did here. From Dr Di Giovanni to his whole staff I have nothing but good things to say throughout the board. Thank you Dr Di Giovanni for making my smile perfect!! read more

Simply THE BEST!! We chose to trust Dr. DiGiovanni with both of our kids' orthodontic treatment because my husband, who is a general dentist, did a dental study club with Dr. DiGiovanni and my husband got to see first-hand just how knowledgeable and caring Dr. DiGiovanni is. Forget the fact that he has a beautiful office near Fashion Island; he is so kind and gentle with the kids; he is so experienced and has already successfully treated many of our friends' kids, as well, Dr. DiGiovanni always goes the extra mile and makes sure that whatever issues you have concerns about gets addressed in a timely and thorough manner. For example, my husband and I really did not want to have to pull any of our kids' teeth, if possible, for orthodontic treatment. So, Dr. DiGiovanni made sure that spacers were put into my son's mouth early on, before the braces even go on. This way, there would be enough space for our son's teeth to grow in and we will most likely not have to pull any of his permanent teeth to make room. Yay!! Also, our daughter was referred to go see an oral surgeon before treatment started to make sure that her teeth will grow in properly and to see if any baby teeth needed to be pulled first. We really appreciate Dr. DiGiovanni taking all of these precautionary steps before treatment even starts, to make sure that the procedures go smoothly and we don't have to pull any of the kids' permanent teeth in order to make their teeth straight, with a good bite, in the end. THANK YOU, Dr. DiGiovanni!! We can't wait for the kids to start their treatment. We're confident that the results will be more than spectacular!! read more

ADULT ORTHO MADE TOLERABLE If you've decided to take the plunge and fix your teeth as a full grown responsible tax paying adult, this is really the only place to go. Dr. Digi probably treats 40% adults and really knows his craft. I feel very confident in his thorough 18 month treatment plan. His personality is really kind and he is very thorough explaining what you'll be suffering through! (Braces are no joke!) I can't wait for my result. Raquel is GREAT on the intake, she breaks it all down and is the kind of girl you'd like to go to have a cocktail with, bright eyed and funny! Joanne up front is super nice, will take great care of you and make sure you are stocked with plenty of wax. Kim, my RDA is an expert! She is practically an ortho herself! Alba, his office coordinator is sweet and on her "A" game always. Honestly, if you're ready for the financial, emotional and physical commitment of braces or Invisalign, this is the crew you want on your team. Imagine if you had a really functional family, and after all the visits, you'll almost see them more than family...than you want Digiovanni Ortho! read more

I had an amazing experience with DiGiovanni and Cook Orthodontics!!! I am still currently in my braces so you can send me a message about any questions you might have! I am 19 years old. I never had braces when I was younger, and I was starting to feel very self conscious about my smile. First off, I have to say they are the best orthodontists ever. I shopped around before picking DiGiovanni and Cook and no one else compared to them. It was super fun, I enjoyed all of my visits! They have the best waiting room I have ever seen. The staff is soooo nice and friendly, I personally had Dr. Cook as my Ortho and she was great, I noticed results in my teeth ( I had a bad gap and when I closed my mouth it looked like my mouth was still open :P ) Within the first few weeks my bite dramatically changed and its still changing! My teeth are almost perfect now and i have a short time to go, but i was surprised at how fast and easy my treatment has been. They work with your school and work schedule, im working and in college currently so this was a definite plus for me. They have the most advanced technology currently available, and are constantly researching new ideas and going to conferences to have the best orthodontic technology/services available. I must also say that they do a different variety of options to choose from, invisalign, "Invisible" ceramic braces, traditional metal braces, etc. and all of the services are reasonably priced plus they fix your braces for FREE at anytime if you break a bracket or rubber band, no questions asked!! ...that was the best part for me because I love hard candy, chewing/crunching ice cubes, and sticky foods so I was getting mine fixed often haha. Another thing they do is a point/reward systems which is pretty cool, they let you earn points for different things (they give you a huge list) and you can cash in your points for awesome prizes (Disneyland Passes, Nordtroms gift cards, iPod touches, and almost anything else you can think of..the list is gigantic!) Over all, I HIGHLY recommend DiGiovanni and Cook Orthodontics, they really are the best in their profession. read more

Getting braces as an adult was a great decision and I'm glad I did so with Dr DiGiovanni and his friendly staff. Before moving back to San Francisco I working in OC on an extended contract, where a colleague highly recommended Dr. DiGiovanni. So, after reading the more recent Yelp reviews I decided to have a consultation with him. He was very thorough and presented me with different options. I appreciated the detail he wen into and I decided to go for it. I'm really glad I did. Dr Digiovanni and his staff made the stressful process actually an enjoyable experience. His staff is knowledgable and friendly and the office modern. I am really happy with my results and recommend this office to any adult seeking braces. read more

This review was a long time coming. If you are looking up Dr DG, chances are that you or your child need braces. I met Dr DG as a 38 year old with a crossbite/ underbite. Prior to this, I had consults with at least 2 other Newport orthos (one of them was actually my child's ortho), and all of them had the same general recommendation: to have jaw surgery which involved breaking my jaw to align it properly, and then get in braces for about 2+ years. I did NOT want to do this, at age 38. What I wanted was camouflage dentistry with sustainable results. (I discovered that this was an option because I became friendly with another dentist. Up until then, I didn't even realize it was an option or I would have done it sooner.) I met with Dr DG and he was the ONLY ortho that got it. We did Xrays, went thru treatment and surgery options (yes, I fully understood and signed off on the risks and just to be sure, met with 2 independent oral surgeons - one that he recommended and another reputable one). I did a ton of research on the web, even watched a jaw surgery on Youtube (super gross, don't do it)! I will not describe my specific treatment plan (you should understand your own, though)- but let me put it this way. About 18-20 months of clear braces and other stuff later, my teeth look awesome. They really do. I am so happy with the results, I get compliments all the time, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Don't get me wrong. I did not love being IN braces. But, I love my teeth now. And working with Dr DG made what would have been a not-fun experience, productively fun. Dr DG and his staff were a dream to work with. They were accommodating, caring, gentle when needed, quick with offering the Advil (ha!), fast when I needed to get somewhere else, flexible about fitting me in (even after hours) when "something just isn't right" and always explained to me what was going on with my teeth and (the inevitable question at about 18 months)- HOW MUCH LONGER AND WHY. Always. Another always- I always saw Dr. DG at every appointment, so he had full mastery of what he wanted to do with this complicated case. He stayed as long as he needed to- could be 5 minutes ("OK, we're on course here, carry on") or he could be 25 minutes. I did not feel rushed. If cost is an issue, Dr DG;s quote for my treatment (the braces part) was exactly the same as everybody else's. Or less, actually (since it ended up not involving the jaw surgery). Incidentally, I did not interview Dr DG for my children's ortho care because someone told me that he was expensive. That's just not true. I wish I knew then what I know now. Hope this helps! read more

I am simply in awe! Talk about a well organized practice that makes you feel welcome from the minute you make the initial call. I took my son to an ortho a few years ago and lets just say that the results were less than acceptable. He mentioned that most of his friends at school are a patient of this practice and we should make an appt with Dr. DiGiovanni. I am VERY glad that we did! There was no pressure and in fact Dr. DiGiovanni recommended that we do minimum work to fix our concerns. I highly recommend this practice to anyone who needs an orthodontist. The transparency and the genuine care trickles from the top down. Everyone's goal here is to make you feel welcome, comfortable and earn your trust. Professionalism, integrity, warmth, and much more!!! Thank you Dr. DiGiovanni and team! Alex & Pasha D. read more

Dr. DiGiovanni is the best orthodontist that I've visited. He truly went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable during my appointment. The entire staff was super nice and trustworthy, and my overall experience could not have been better! read more

I felt compelled to leave a review for Dr. D and his staff because they are absolutely the best of the best. Dr. D. has offices in Newport (glam and bright) as well as Laguna (super cool and beachy). I've been to both and you just don't feel like you are going to the dentist. The vibe is so bright and happy. Staff is so easy, warm an welcoming. And Dr. D. couldn't be better. I spent a lot of time looking for someone to make my smile wider. I reviewed tons of pics of his patients and cannot believe the beautiful smiles he creates. I am so happy with my results and he made the entire process so comfortable (I did Invisilign). So, so easy and I just can't say enough good things. I would recommend Dr. D for kids or adults. Kids will love the fun energy and if you are an adult like me (hate going to any dentist - freaks me out), this would be the doc for you. Whatever your situation, mostly if you just want a big, beautiful smile you can't go wrong with Dr. D. He really is the best! read more

I researched other orthodontists for approximately 2 1/2 months and after my daughter and I met with Dr Giovanni we instantly knew he was the perfect fit. His office staff and assistants are amazing as well and the office itself is very modern with all the latest technology. We would highly recommend Dr Digi to anyone! read more

I've been thinking about getting braces to fix my bottom teeth for a while now and I heard of Dr. Digiovanni through a friend. I have always disliked going to the dentist/ortho (I've had braces before so if you're like me, look no further! It is safe to say that I am so happy I chose him to help me correct my smile! He is so personable, easy going, caring and definitely knows what he is doing. Thank you Dr. Digi for my amazing experience so far! read more

4 members of my family have been patients of Drs DiGiovanni and Cook with excellent results. The staff is highly professional, caring and pleasant to be around. Orthodontia is a significant investment of time and money, so I recommend that you research and compare alternatives. Our experience with Drs DiGiovanni and Cook was most positive. 2 daughters had full orthodontia in 2 phases. My wife and I chose Invisalign. All treatments were completed in the forecast time, with smiles all around. In my case I was hesitant to deal with the inconvenience of adult orthodontia, but I'm very pleased with the results read more

I went into Dr. Digi office not because I needed braces, because I did not like how my lower teeth grew in as a child. Let's just say they were straight to most people, but not too me. The staff did not see any need for me having braces, but since I was not satisfied, the staff and Dr. Digi did whatever it took to make me happy with my lower teeth. Kids must love going to Dr. Digi office for the game room, playing on the iPads and all the the prizes that can be won. If you are looking for an Orthodontics office that takes good care of you and/or your kid(s) no matter what your Orthodontics needs are, Dr. Digi and Staff is the 1st place one should visit. read more

I've been going to DiGi for over 20 years! His staff is incredible; they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I had two sets of braces with this office and I just recently completed my Invisalign. Highly recommend!! read more

Dr. DiGiovanni and his staff are absolutely amazing! I came here as an adult female in her 40s regarding a tooth that has always been much higher than all the other teeth. I was interested in Invisalign. However, after my consultation, it was determined that I would need traditional braces. Raquel, who I consider my handler, met with me and went over my treatment options. She was absolutely awesome in every way! She was very clear with the timeline and also let me know that the tooth could in fact be fused and even with treatment may not move. I decided to take the chance anyway. While having the braces, the office accommodated me for a broken bracket, a pokey wire, and my appointments. They knew my case and everyone, and I mean everyone was cheering for me and rooting for my tooth to move! I had this entire team of people totally supporting me, which made their office a wonderful place to visit (which is so weird for me to say about an orthodontic office but so true!) Dr. DiGiovanni and his staff never rushed and always answered my questions. I honestly cannot say enough about the staff and service. Unfortunately, for me, the tooth did not move but the office was very clear from the beginning that it might not. Dr. G gave me some options for next steps. I tried all of those but the tooth still did not move. But again, each step of the way, the team was hoping as was I. In the end, my teeth were much straighter and Dr. G ultimately recommended another option with bonding that "fixed" that tooth so my smile was much more straight! I am especially grateful to Raquel, Dr. G and the entire staff! read more
