I inherited Dr. Phillips when the ownership of the practice changed hands and he has been nothing but 1st class since I started seeing him as a patient. I once came in with a broken piece of equipment and Dr. Phillips, rather than charging me full price, agreed to order me a new one at cost. He didn't have to do this but this goes to show it is not just about the money for him, he wants you to have a quality patient experience. I would recommend Dr. Phillips and his practice to anyone who needs any type of Orthodontic work or care in the San Diego area. read more

Amazing and friendly staff!! I would always look forward to my monthly appointment! Dr. P and staff made each visit enjoyable. Not to mention Linda made the financial side of things hassle free. I am truly happy with my end results! Thank you Dr.P!!! Highly recommend!! read more

I went to Dr. Pulsifer when I was 43 to get braces. I have never regretted the decision and have had a thousand compliments on my teeth and smile. He and his team changed my life forever. One of the best things Ive ever done! read more

Amazing staff! Transferred my case from Ortho in HI to Cali and from the start of the transfer to the end, it has truly been an awesome experience! Pulsipher and family really take care of you and your ortho needs. Thank you for my beautiful teeth. read more

Experience the Best from Dr. Pulsipher Orthodontics - A parent and patient review- Dr. Pulsipher is very friendly and it comes naturally. Dr. Pulsipher is very good with kids, teens and adults alike, answering all questions or concerns patiently, you don't feel rushed at all. A very important quality that I look for as a parent. His Dental Assistants and receptionists are extremely nice and caring as well. They have all been very gentle and kind to my son who is on the spectrum. People on the spectrum can have heightened anxiety and sensitivities, especially towards new and different experiences. My son took the entire treatment in stride in large part by feeling at ease with Dr. Pulsipher. They really care about their patients. Every visit has been exceptional in every way you'd want as a patient or parent. On time, less than 5 minutes if that in the waiting area. Appointments are easy to schedule and they send a reminder text the day before and day of your appointment, this is very helpful. My son received the best care and treatment. The results are breathtaking. If you are looking for professional, friendly and outstanding results for yourself or another, the orthodontics treatment with Dr. Pulsipher is second to none. My son's life going forward is that much brighter and doors will open that much faster. Now that he's received a perfect smile from Dr. Pulsipher. The office is very clean, peaceful, roomy and temperature controlled. Plenty of very comfortable seating in two sections, both are couch-like. The first section has a large TV on the wall and a large coffee table with plenty of magazines. The 2nd section is in front of the reception area and has a video game available for the kids. The dental area is visible from the waiting area just beyond the reception desk and has a large mirror on the wall. This area is extremely well lit with natural light from large windows that wrap around the room and has a lot of lighting from above. There is a private room with a dental chair for initial patient consultations, again lots of light as the door sees through to the main treatment area and has a large window of its own. A+ excellent atmosphere! This review is from the father of a son who just completed his orthodontics treatment at Dr. Pulsipher Orthodontics, we couldn't be more thrilled with the results and care received! As parent and my son the patient, we both loved the experience received with Dr. Pulsipher and HIGHLY recommend his orthodontics care!. A++++ Care/Treatment! read more

I love Dr. Pulsipher and the staff! They take such good care of me and my teeth! I asked to get my braces off for my wedding and they were able to accommodate (for a price of course but it wasn't as expensive as I thought it would be). My visits are painless, they take the time to get to know me and ask how I'm doing. I have not had a terrible experience with them whatsoever. I highly recommend him. My teeth are going to look sooo amazing! I can't wait to get them off! Did I mention that they work with you to get a good payment plan going? That's really great to have so you won't feel like you're burning a hole in your pocket! read more

I can't say enough about Dr. Pulsipher and his staff. I have been through quite the journey with getting braces on for the second time-- (my fault thinking my teeth would stay perfect through college while not wearing retainers...) He helped me execute exactly what I wanted, which involved straightening my teeth, but also an implant and other recommendations needed to get my smile where I expected it. Whenever I needed to change an appointment his staff was more than accommodating. They are a family run business and it's a very bright, clean comfortable environment. I'm thrilled to have my braces off and recommend them to anyone! read more

I had a consult with Dr. Pulsipher about braces and not only was the office tidy and clean, but he was friendly and knowledgeable. The quote I received for the intended work was affordable and Dr. Pulsipher wasn't the first office I had visited. I was also able to work with the staff on scheduling affordable payments that I could make on time. Every scheduled visit to his office was greeted by friendly staff and I never felt rushed nor forgotten. The office is well lit, smells clean but not like disinfencant, is roomy, the sinks are clean and there was often pleasant music flowing from someone's playlist. I never had to wait long in the waiting room, which is spacious with numerous genres of magazines, a large television, a couple of (out-of-date) video game consoles and a play corner for toddlers. Dr. Pulsipher himself and his staff were very professional and always a pleasure to speak with, and I never left feeling a visit was incomplete nor did I ever leave in any pain. For the work that was done, I listened and followed his instructions and didn't spend very long with my braces before I had my teeth straight. I rarely had to reschedule an appointment but if I did they were able to work with me on finding a suitable time and day. A couple of times I needed to make an emergency appointment and the staff was more than willing to fit me in right away. I recommended Dr. Pulsipher's office to my wife and will definitely go back with any future orthodontic needs. read more

Dr Pulsipher is an excellent orthodontist. He is skilled and caring. His staff is knowledgable and friendly. The office is comfortable for adults and kids. Even if you don't live in the area it's worth a little bit of a drive. I live in East County and have no problem driving there for good orthodontic care. read more

I have had the BEST braces experience with Dr. Pulsipher! I was terrified to get braces but every time I walked into their office I was greeted with a warm welcome and smiling faces! I could not be happier with my new fantastic smile! It just so happened that I got to get my braces off on my birthday! I am so grateful I don't think I've been able to stop smiling since I got them off! If you want an incredible smile and to feel like you are in the best of hands in the business, then come see Dr. Pulsipher. read more

Gary H. Pulsipher, DDS - Orthodontists Near Me - San Diego, California

We have been here with Dr. Pulsipher for a year now. My daughter's teeth look amazing. We had several consultations concerning her mouth and several concerns about my daughter losing her permanent teeth due to the braces possibly putting on too much pressure on her protruding teeth. He assured me they would move slow and that he has dealt with several cases similar to my daughters profile with success. I can honestly say that her mouth looks amazing, her teeth look great, and she can smile with confidence. The office staff has been great and accommodating. I would recommend Dr. Pulsipher again and again read more

I had an over bite situation and consulted with 3 different Orthodontics doctors. Some of the doctors recommended jaw surgery, extraction and Invisalign to correct the bite. I was not pleased with any of the options. These doctors told me that if I did not follow their procedures, I would lose my teeth. Finally I found Dr. Pulsipher Orthodontics in Mira Mesa. Dr. Pulsipher told me that it did not require any of the harsh procedures, but could be fixed by extracting 2 teeth and wearing braces, which would take 18 to 24 months. He took X-rays of my teeth and started the work in December 2011. It has been 18 months and my teeth have moved perfectly. I am really happy that I didn't go for surgery which would of cost a lot money and much pain. I must mention their service over the last 18 month period. Dr. Pulsipher took the time to look at even the smallest details and then explained what to do next. The staff is very friendly and supportive. I would strongly recommend Dr. Pulsipher Orthodontics for anyone. You will be satisfied 100% I am sure. Thank you Doctor and Crew. Sam read more

Service it's amazing! Very clean and neat. I love every single staff in DR. P's oiffice

Dr. Pulsipher is the best orthodontist in the world. He treated me when I was in college back in the mid-late 90s when I lived in the area. That's 20 years ago. His staff were great too. read more

Nothing but good things to say about Pulsipher Orthodontics. Friendly staff paired with a good orthodontist, makes for a great experience all the way around. Appointments always ran on time, making it convenient for me to schedule routine maintenance for my braces during my lunch breaks. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Pulsipher and his staff!

Very sweet and friendly staff! I got my braces on at the ripe age of 23. I thought I was going to be miserable, but everyone in Dr. P's office made me feel comfortable and I was happy to be there (even when getting tightened) Thank you Dr. P and staff!! I can honestly say, they are the reason I quit smoking cigarettes too :) Scared me straight! AND have been smoke free since 2003 :) read more

Dr. Pulsipher and his staff are absolutely amazing! Everyone has always been very professional, but also super friendly. I have twins that both needed braces. Local options were limited where I live and cost-prohibitive because I do not have insurance. The drive "down the hill" has been worth it because the charges were less than up where I live and the staff was able to work with me for a payment plan I am able to afford. My daughters have always enjoyed their visits every month and rave about how nice everyone is. Their smiles are getting prettier each month and are both expected to have their treatment finished in under two years. I give them a huge thumbs up and recommend them wholeheartedly. read more

All my kids have had their orthodontics done there. Dr. P and staff are great! Always willing to work with you.

I recently had my braces taken off and I love my new smile thanks to Pulsipher Orthodontics. This process was very easy and affordable, along with fun and Dr. Pulsipher and his staff are all about making you happy with a big bright smile. Kelly and Silvia were the ones that worked on my teeth the most and they are extremely nice, friendly and passionate with what their work they make you feel so confortable as soon as you sit in their chairs. Right when you walk in you will recieve a greeting from the front desk and a huge smile. The environment at Pulsipher Orthodontics is just so friendly and it brightens my day when I walk into their office. Out of the several other orthodontics I looked into before Dr. Pulsipher I rate Pulsipher Orthodontics the best orthodontics office in San Diego. I am going to go back and start their amazing teeth whitening process so I can have quality work done by profesionals who do the best work with the best smiles and the most friendly atmosphere is San Diego. read more

From the first consult to completion I had a wonderful experience. Dr Pulsipher and his entire staff were helpful, friendly and professional. They worked around my busy work schedule and their payment plan made correcting my smile manageable. Thanks again! read more

I found Dr. Pulsipher a few years ago. I had my braces done somewhere else and my teeth moved with the retainers they gave me. I wanted to prevent my teeth from further movement and thankfully found Dr. Pulsipher closer to home. Dr. Pulspiher recommended me a more fitting retainer with springs on them and made my teeth straight again. He also put in a bite plate on the top to help with my jaw and my jaw pains disappeared, what a miracle! He made it seem so easy. I love the retainers 'til this day. Recently, I visited Dr. Pulsipher again due to some traumatic teeth clenching from an auto accident. Now I have a mouth-guard-like-teeth-positioner that helps me protect me from stress-clenching from post-accident trauma, but also positions my teeth. Because of its bulky nature, I had a lot of trouble adjusting to it. I am VERY thankful how patient Dr. Pulsipher and his whole staff has been to help me through the transition. I went in a number of times with questions and requests to have them fit better and Dr. Pulsipher was always pleasant, knowledgable, professional and kind. I can't express how thankful I am to have a Orthodondist who can help me understand what's going on and he makes you feel at ease and that's just an extra gift Dr. Pulsipher & his staff has that makes them stand out. Great things come to those who do good to others. Go Pulsipher Ortho Team Extraordinaire! read more

Dr. Pulsipher and his great staff make Orthodontia as pleasant and relaxing an experience as it could be. The office and treatment area is spotless, and open, which makes the experience less foreboding and more of a social event. The staff is always very friendly and capable. Dr. Pulsipher is a very patient, kind man, who takes the time with each patient to put them both at ease, and to make sure he is moving their orthodontia care in the direction they desire. The equipment in the office appears to be first quality and up to the latest technology, and Dr. Pulsipher seems to make use of the equipment as needed, not necessarily doing more procedures such as x-rays than are necessary to guide the treatment. About the only negative to this practice is that they are not open on the weekend, which makes treating kids in school much more difficult. Overall a great doctor and office at which to get Orthodontia treatment . read more
