Most kids fear the doctor or the dentist or even the orthodontist...but it's impossible to fear Dr. Gilbertson. I think I've been coming to this office for about eight years now. I've had two sets of braces, multiple palate expanders, and I've needed to wear sets of rubber bands a few times. Needless to say, I'm experienced. The ladies in the office are always kind and friendly and do their best to remember each patient's story. The appointment process is quick and easy, and it's very simple to change appointment times (like when they're made way too early in the morning). Recently, I pretty much ruined my plastic retainers by placing them in hot water. I called a few places in Santa Barbara and they wanted to charge me $580 for new retainers. I called Gilbertson's office to ask what could be done and they gave me a price of $360. The receptionist gave me an appointment for the following day and I had molds taken and orders for new retainers sent within a day's time. Dr. Gilbertson is even mailing the retainers since I no longer live nearby. I'll go out of my way and drive a few extra hours to see Dr. Gilbertson. If you're looking for someone who cares about his patients, he is the orthodontist for you. read more

The staff at this orthodontist office really came through and helped me out when I needed help during the quarantine. I am an existing patient and have enjoyed going there for 2 years. I highly reccomend going here. read more

I highly recommend this wonderful doctor he is lovely with children! And patient with his patients

As a wine and spirits writer, event planner and consultant, most of my Yelp reviews are NOT about dentists. But, in a previous life, I worked as a dental office manager and consultant. In full disclosure, now when I walk into a dental practice I am scanning everything that a patient will see, hear, and even smell. And, like you, I scan Yelp reviews and Facebook to learn what I can before I check out a business. When I took my 17 year-old daughter into Dr. Steve Gilbertson's orthodontic office I discovered a professional staff, state-of-the-art dental equipment and a very knowledgeable doctor. Everyone made eye contact with both my daughter and myself throughout the appointment as we discussed treatment options and the timelines for each, what my daughter would expect at each visit, necessary diagnostic x-rays and cost. In the dental world this is called "Inform before you perform." I was duly impressed and I'd highly recommend Dr. Gilbertson to anyone seeking an orthodontist in the Santa Clarita Valley. read more

Best Orthodontics in the SCV!!! Very helpful and nice staff. I have had an amazing experience with Dr. G since day one. I have been through two years of braces and am currently wearing a retainer. My teeth look amazing. Dr. G and staff pay attention to every small detail. When I got my braces off they gave me a bag of treats (all the stuff I couldn't eat with braces). Every time I go for a check up, they have a new contest. I highly recommend this orthodontics office :) read more

I don't actually get to see Dr. Gilbertson, since I'm old, but my 15 year old loves the choice we made for his orthodontist. Everything seems to be going smooth as we are one year into the process. I love that he shows his appreciation for clients, by taking over the Canyon Theater Guild for a Patient Appreciation Event. My in-laws had 4 kids through his office and were very happy. Dr. Gilbertson and his staff seem to be very caring about the work they do. I highly recommend him. read more

While traveling thru California my son's brace wire began to irritate his mouth. We needed an orthodontist to cut the wire in order to stop it from poking his inner cheek. We were staying with family in Santa Clarita and they recommended Dr Gilbertson. So we called the office and they were more than accommodating! They got us in right away and not only took care of the wire but also made sure everything else was intact. The entire office staff was very welcoming and Dr Gilbertson was very hospitable. Thanks to everyone at the office for getting us back on the road and pain free! PS The recommendation came from my sister who had braces several years ago and her teeth are still in perfect alignment...absolutely beautiful!! Me and my entire family highly recommend Dr Gilbertson! :-) read more

My son loves going to Dr. Gilbertson! I was originally planning on taking my son to Dr. Pair but I couldn't get a definite price on what his braces were going to cost. I went to Dr. Gilbertson and they had a contract drawn up with multiple ways to pay and went over everything with me. His staff is great with kids and very friendly. They are like a family here and they treat you like you're apart of it. They have multiple contests for the kids throughout the year and even put on a holiday event in December. My son is right on schedule to get his braces off in two years and there haven't been any extra charges since we started. read more

Dr. Gilbertson and his staff are great! My daughter just had her braces removed and the process from start to finish was as pleasant as could be. Very efficient service. I don't recall her ever having to spend much time in the waiting room. We also live close to the office, which I highly recommend because of frequent stops by the office for lost rubber bands, broken brackets, etc. Their pricing was comparable to the other two estimates we received. We highly recommend!! read more

I went to Dr. Gilbertson for my Orthodontic work several years back as an adult and was so impressed with his treatment and my results! Unfortunately, I didn't wear my retainers and now my teeth have begun to shift. I contacted Dr. Gilbertson and he offered me a very reasonable price and option for invisalign or traditional braces. My son has also gone to Dr. Gilbertson and recently has gotten his braces off. He has never once complained about going and has enjoyed the monthly opportunities to win a prize for just being a valued patient. Besides the Dr. being outstanding; the whole office is welcoming and very professional. On our scheduled appointments, we are never left waiting to be seen. I have also attended the annual patient appreciation day and have felt my son and my whole family were recognized by staff and truly appreciated. I also need to mention that they "get" kids and keep parents informed. They have a Facebook site that is always changing and keeping the kids engaged. Their website is informative and they also send office reminders and other important information via e-mail but never spam. I have seen other Orthodontic sites and they really don't get social networking which is where the teens are all about! Without hesitation, I recommend Dr. Gilbertson and his whole office! read more

I have been going to Dr. Gilbertson for many years now. He does a great job of fixing smiles and making all of his patients feel comfortable. What I really like about this office is the staff. Everyone on board does a wonderful job of having all patients feel comfortable and the staff does what ever they can to suit the needs of their patients. I am thankful to be a patient here and would recommend this doctor and office for anyone in need of orthodontist work! read more

Dr. Gilbertson and his team have been straightening the teeth of my children for the last 18 months, and each visit is a joy. The team is friendly and attentive, quick and efficient. The office hosts monthly contest with amazing prizes, which the kids love! My son just had his braces removed and his teeth look beautiful! read more

I don't often write reviews on Yelp.....However Dr. Gilbertson's office has impressed me on so many occasions that I can no longer bottle up my enthusiasm for him....his impressive work and this particular office. The office staff (never without a smile) are always attentive and caring....the minute you walk in the door. Not sure but they may be telepathic as well....or at least, they seem to be.(To me anyways) Both of my children have had concerning dental complications prior to coming to this office....since......we started them on there individual courses of braces...now....we all can breath a sigh of relief, and see the light at the end of the dental tunnel....Along with the compliments the kids get for their teeth instead of an apprehensively shy smile from being self-concious of their overlapping teeth. Just stopped in the office today for a quick wire-adjustment(without an appointment) and was out with my delighted child in under 5 minutes. Try that at any other dental office. Nothing seems to ever be a problem for this office. Beautiful teeth are now in my children's future. I can't recommend this office enough for any of your Pediatric Orthodontic need. read more

Our daughter just finished 2.5 years of treatment, her braces came off today & we could not be happier!!! Dr. Gilbertson & his entire staff made a grueling process go as well as it could! The staff is kind, friendly & caring. Helpful with insurance policies, referrals to outside doctors, et al. We could not say enough good about our entire experience! read more

Our twin boys just finished their ortho treatments with Dr. G. He and his staff have provided fantastic care every step of the way! Dr. Gilbertson followed our boys for at least two years (no charge) prior to starting treatment and was able to work with us on pricing since we had two going thru the process at the same time. One of our boys even had to go thru two treatment phases! We can't speak highly enough about the care our boys received with Dr. G! We will and have recommended him to many of our friends. Some things we love about the care...1) Dr. Gilbertson's attention to detail and to the needs of our individual children, 2) his staff was always welcoming and supportive to our children, especially when they had to have something tough done in treatment, 3) we loved that there was little to know staff turnover in the last 5 or 6 years that we've been going there...our boys almost always had the same person working with them at every visit and they were very comfortable with everyone that works there, 4) the fun incentives and contests they offer to the children on a monthly basis, 5) the top notch care throughout the process. The list could go on! Thanks again to Dr. Gilbertson and his entire team! read more

I was so grateful to Dr. Gilbertson/Dr. Megan's office for treating a female LDS missionary! She had been turned down by another local orthodontist and they took her in right away, fixed her ortho problem (which would've been expensive) AND did it for free!!!! Thank you so much for being so kind especially with her so far away from home! read more

We had a good experience with Dr. Gilbertson during my oldest son's 2 year program. Staff is focused and helpful, the office is clean and professional, and the work is outstanding. My son's teeth turned out fantastic! We've got two more boys heading Dr. G's way. One down, two to go... read more

We were referred to Dr. Gilbertson by our Pediatric Dentist. We have been seeing Dr. G for just over 2 years now, and my daughter just had her braces removed at the beginning of the month. Her smile looks beautiful!! :) Our experience with this office was excellent from start to finish. At the beginning when we were first getting started, they were very thorough about explaining the various options with types of braces, as well as walking me through numerous payment options. The interest-free option was great, and much appreciated!! We saw them about every 6 weeks over the 2 year period, and never once had to wait for our appointment. They always take her right back, work on her and get her out of there in about 20 minutes. They are also great about squeezing us in when we had the occasional broken bracket. The entire staff is very helpful and friendly, and I love all the little extras touches to recognized the kids and try and make the experience fun (colored rubber bands, monthly give-aways, photo wall, etc.) This office is simply the best! read more

I'm a General Dentist in town and I refer all my patients to visit Dr. Gilbertson's office before they decide on an Orthodontist. There are plenty of other good offices to choose from but I know that once they meet Dr. G and his staff they won't want to go anywhere else. I have two sons that have both been to Dr. Gilberston's office and we have had a great experience. My oldest son only needed minor movements that could be accomplished with a retainer. My youngest is a whole different story! He needed major work! As a dentist myself, I found the process of fixing all of his issues to be well thought out and the journey was actually enjoyable for my son and me. The whole office is professional, knowlegable, and the most caring office you can find. read more

My son Daniel got his braces of yesterday and his teeth look amazing! They did a great job. He had them for 2 years and my son enjoyed going to his appointments because they made him feel comfortable and they took the time to explain things to us. I highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Gilbertson is an excellent orthodontist. We're thrilled with our straight, beautiful smiles, thanks to him and his team. We've been patients of his over the past two years, and we highly recommend his office to anyone needing braces. read more

Steven D Gilbertson, DDS - Our new straight smiles! Thank you, Dr. Gilbertson and team! - Orthodontists Near Me - Newhall, California

Our older daughter was a graduate of Dr. Gilbertson's and now attending UCLA, she continues to wear her beautiful smile proudly. In fact, because of the training and education she received at the office, she still wears her retainer nightly (I hear from many friends that their kids do not because the importance of this was not addressed with them)! My husband and I are both in the medical field and therefore, have very high standards for the medical providers we use for our family. We were so beyond happy with Dr. Gilbertsonm his office, and entire staff, that when it was time for our younger daughter to have orthodontic work, there was no other office we would have considered. Just this morning, that daughter had her braces removed and she joins her big sister in the winning smile club. Dr. Gilbertson and his staff are not only dedicated professionals and treat each patient as an individual, but they provide the best possible care and support. We have had the most positive experience with orthodontia for our kids and it is all because of Dr. Gilbertson and his amazing staff. There are many orthondic providers in the SCV but if you want the best, there is only one option, and that is to entrust your loved ones to only the best, and Dr. Gilbertson and his staff are simply that! read more

Dr G and his staff are the best! Since our dental insurance did not cover orthodontics, we were concered about affordability. His office was more than willing to work with us on payment plans. With 3 daughters that needed treatment, cost was a major concern. People always comment on what a beautiful smile my daughters have. The investment was worth every penney! read more

This is the best and most professional orthodontist office you will find in the Santa Clarita valley. I had 8 other consultations before choosing Dr. Gilberston for my daughter, who had a pretty severe overbite, and He was the best! I am pretty picky when it comes to my kids and Dr. Gilberston was the only Dr. that met my expectations. My daughter had her braces removed today! This was a quick 2 years and it was smooth sailing the whole way through....The front desk was always friendly and professional. Ashley and the entire front desk staff always had a smile to greet us! A very positive atmosphere. Very pleased... read more

We have taken all of our children to Dr. Gilbertson's office. They are always friendly, the place is spotless they are always punctual and they are always kind. The kids teeth are all looking good and I am happy to say that we have just a few more payments on the last one and we will be done with the Gilbertson's for ever! We will miss them but not the payment. read more

By far the best ortho in SCV. Both of my kids felt very comfortable from the moment they walked in... to back in the chair. The staff is awesome! Dr. Gilbertson takes his time explaining all the different options. Would recommend 10 stars! read more

Dr. Gilbertson is outstanding. I highly recommend him. His office and staff are client friendly and my boys enjoy going to see him. I have twin boys and both got braces from Dr. Gilbertson. The just had them removed and they have a terrific smile. read more

Dr. Gilbertson and his office staff are top notch and stellar. My junior high son had a pallet expander and braces for 2 yrs. Dr Gilbertson is so kind, knowledgeable and has such a soft and caring touch. My son was so happy with the quick appointments and the amazing assistants. The office always has a fun contest or game going on which really engages the children. The office is clean, up to date and stylish. The office staff are so friendly and accommodating with appts and last minute changes too. I only wish I had taken my 3 much older children there. My son just got his braces off today and BAMMMMM..... His teeth are GORGEOUS AND SO PERFECTLY STRAIGHT! I am thrilled and will tell all my friends to head to this wonderful orthodontist office! Tenney family Wish we could give 10 stars:) read more

From the start, Dr. Gilbertson and his staff was friendly and professional. They did exactly what they said they were going to do...create a beautiful smile! The front office was always timely and accommodating. They created a financial plan that worked for our budget. We were never kept waiting, the assistants were always friendly and willing to explain the treatment progress. Wonderful experience. Cindi T. read more

The staff in this office is very nice and friendly but my problem is that I took my daughter in over 1yr ago for a consultation and because we decided to start the two boys before her (at another office) we had to hold of on my daughter..so now we are ready to get her started. I contacted Dr. Gilbertsons office to schedule a consultation letting them know that it was over 1yr since she had one with them if she needed to start all over again the girl on the phone said it should all still e ok but they will have Dr. see her again just in case anything has changed.. I thought their price was a bit high so I thought I would try to negotiate with them when I would go in.. So they kindly scheduled the best appointment convenient for us and we went in.. I waited in the lobby expecting them to come out and call me to go through the financial, and treatment process but this did not happen.. What happened.. my daughter came out with the assistant who proceeded to explain about the 8 spacers they just put in her!!!! I was blown away.. first of all I never signed any documentation.. I never went through the financial aspect of things and they got started on her.. I was really disappointed they did this.. their price is $2,000 higher than the office we currently have our two boys going to.. the only problem with this that office its that its a bit far and we thought if we stayed local so she could walk to her follow ups on her own.. She now has her drivers permit and because of the disappointment with this office (if they got her started without my consent what else will they do to her) we decide to save $2,000 and take her elsewhere... we were recommended o this office by a friend who was happy with their service, the office staff is nice and courteous but them doing this gave me a lot to think about . read more
