It's not only worth making the trip if you live in Escondido or the surrounding areas, but...even if you lived 100 miles away, you'd be wise to make the trip there.

I value the fact that they send reminder texts, they have always been easy and quick to accommodate if I ever had to reschedule. They are very fast, which can be a good thing, or can be bad (if they miss something). To be clear and transparent, I have finally finished my programs and have my braces off, praise the Lord. I recently went back because of the permanent, inside wires became loose and had to have it reglued. I was upset that they were not transparent with their pricing. I was told a certain price over the phone and they said I could decide whether to move forward with the process or not, but when they took me in and the Orthodontist had already reviewed my mouth and the broken piece, at that point, I was charged for the consultation and could not go back. I wish I had known that it would be $240 to repair, I would have checked somewhere else first.

It's a very positive environment. Everyone is super nice. Pearl was so kind to me and we've built a bond since I started coming to Nelson's. Sweetest person ever! I love the big, open modern design of the place.

After two family members completed braces with this business I made a pragmatic decision to send my…read moretwo other kids to a different orthodontist. This decision wasn't based on quality of work. Orthadontia isn't heart surgery and you're likely to get the same great results no matter who you end up using. The outcomes met expectations. What is dodgy are their billing practices, aggressive pressure to get your kids into "two-stage" braces (basically paying for braces twice), and repeated sales calls trying to get your other kids into braces asap was all just too much... Oh and don't get me started with their billing department consistently trying to bill our insurance company even though they already hit the payment limit long ago. Don't they realize that I get an email from my insurance company every time someone tries to bill against the insurance? My other kids have braces now from a different Orthodontist. Surprisingly the new orthodontist said "two stage" wasn't applicable in their cases. Tip - If your orthodontist pressures you into two-stage braces from day one get a second opinion. Two-stage braces should be the exception, but more and more orthodontist groups are making it the default recommendation.

My oldest child had a very complex orthodontic case. We consulted with several well-known…read moreorthodontists in the area, and most recommended extracting three or four teeth. Dr. Davis was the only orthodontist who suggested a different approach. He believed that an unerupted tooth could still be brought down naturally and proposed creating space first to allow that tooth to erupt properly. The treatment took a long time, but the results were worth it. Not only was he able to avoid unnecessary extractions, but my son's bite and facial balance improved significantly. As a parent, I could not have been happier with the outcome. The reason I have so much confidence in Dr. Davis is not simply because the treatment worked. I have a family member who is an orthodontist, which gave me access to professional opinions throughout my son's treatment process. I was specifically advised to find an orthodontist experienced in treating complex Class III cases, and Dr. Davis was the only orthodontist who identified the issue and recommended the same treatment approach before I even mentioned what I had been told. That gave me confidence that his diagnosis was based on his own expertise and experience rather than simply following a standard treatment plan. In my opinion, Dr. Davis focuses on long-term dental health and facial harmony rather than simply straightening teeth. That level of experience and clinical judgment is rare. After seeing the transformation in my son's smile and facial profile, I consider him one of the most skilled orthodontists I have encountered. In fact, I am now considering bringing my younger child to the practice as well, even though his case is much more routine and there are many orthodontists closer to our home. My only hesitation is the front office experience. While I have tremendous respect for Dr. Davis and his clinical expertise, I often found communication with Miranda challenging. There were times when I left conversations feeling discouraged rather than reassured, which can be difficult for parents managing years of orthodontic treatment. That said, the quality of the orthodontic care itself has been excellent, and I believe improvements in patient communication would make the overall experience even better. If I were evaluating this practice solely on orthodontic expertise, diagnosis, and treatment outcomes, I would highly recommend Dr. Davis. The results speak for themselves.
