Dr.Han is the best. I was referred to him by a neighbor that had her kids braces done by him and…read moreshe talked very highly of him. We booked our consultation and here we are almost three years later my last kid got his braces off .. The office staff are amazing and always smiling the moment we walk in the door. Thankful to Dr.Han and his staff for taking care of my kids teeth.

Since the day I walked in almost two years ago, I was greeted by two very happy ladies who…read moreinstantly made me feel welcome. From my first meeting with Dr. Han, I could tell I was in great hands. He is professional, caring, and truly passionate about what he does. The entire process was smooth, from insurance to monthly payments everything was explained clearly and handled easily. What really stands out, though, is the level of care. Every single visit, I was welcomed with a smile and genuine conversation. Being asked how my day was and actually feeling like they cared made the office feel like home. Dr. Han, you are truly great at your profession, and the team you have beside you is just as amazing. I'm going to miss all the conversations with Inez, even when she would jokingly scare me by saying something was going to hurt or that a tooth needed to come out! Somehow, I always looked forward to my ortho appointments. Today, I reached the finish line with my braces, and to my surprise, I received a certificate, a bottle of cider, and a goodie bag with gum and sour gummies. Inez had asked me what I was most excited to eat once my braces came off, and those were exactly the treats I wanted. That personal touch meant so much. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to the entire staff for making this journey so special. I 100% recommend Dr. Daniel Han for braces.

Constantly changing staff, misleading "$2k braces" marketing, and treatment that drags on forever because they only schedule appointments every three months. Its a circus in there! After over three years, my bite and teeth were still wrong. I asked the orthodontist how much longer and she would say "3 more months" then "5 more", she was not being honest. Next thing you know I was about to hit 4 years with a messed up bite and teeth. They clearly don't care. Be 10 minutes late? They cancel your appointment and push you back weeks. Oh but they can text you they're running behind because of short staffing. This place is poorly run, misleading, and not worth the time, money, or stress. You get what you pay for.

I have been a dental patient in the past from 2021-2023 in the chino office . The chino office has…read moresince closed and I needed to be seen to check my permanent retainer in the Colton office. Unfortunately,on two bottom teeth the glue or bonding material wore off so the wire was not fixed to those teeth. Fortunately, today 360 orthodontics took good care of me. They just added the glue/ bonding material I was in the treatment chair no more than 10 minutes and I was not charged since they didn't need to replace the whole fixed retainer on the bottom. I can't speak for others , but they have usually been good to me. I recommend them. Thank you 360 orthodontist! I appreciate that you fixed me right up :)

Truly the best dental experience I've had! Dr. Akkari and his entire team took great care of me…read more I came in for an exam in expecting a procedure, but they made time to handle something time-sensitive and walked me through every step so I knew what to expect. I was blown away by the amount of communication and education, but also the compassion and care of the team. I was a little nervous and afraid to be honest, but they encouraged me, allowed me to take breaks when I needed, and really looked out for my wellbeing. Dr. Akkari prioritized my tooth and preserving it longterm over a quick or pricier fix. Thankful for this place.

Update: 6 years later and I still have had nothing but amazing experiences for my deep cleanings,…read more6-month routine check ups and filings. I just had 2 small cavities taken care of yesterday and I went in there with such ease knowing I was in good hands based on my previous experience with Dr. Akkari. Once again, the whole process was completely pain free and I was out of there in less than an hour (the procedure itself was at most 15 minutes). Also, I cant understand why there are a few negative reviews about their receptionists. Rita has always been super sweet & I can't remember the other ladies name but they have always been super polite and helpful with scheduling, rescheduling, checking in & helping me get a referral to an oral surgeon. And as always, his dental assistants are kind & gentle as well.

He has taken…read morecare of two of our kids so far with incredible and speedy results, and, believe it or not, our younger two kids see what the experience is like and they are excited for their turn for braces! Front office staff: Upon arriving, patients are greeted by his super friendly front office staff (who are also very flexible about arranging appointments around busy sports schedules!) Everything is organized perfectly and when you call to make an appointment, a friendly human being answers the phone (not a machine, like most orthodontists' offices these days). Back office staff: Dr. Kavanagh runs a tight ship and stays on schedule with his professional staff moving deftly between patients, though never making us feel rushed. The back office is squeaky clean, brightly lit, and cheerfully decorated and his friendly staff explains every step of the process and puts kids completely at ease. Dr. Kavanagh: He is the rare blend of the brilliant physician with the perfect bedside manner. His work is incredible (and so fast!) and the way he explains everything to both the kids and the parents makes the kids totally comfortable--he is truly a gem. He has a warm and charismatic aura and engenders such trust and confidence with his professional demeanor AND HIS AWESOME RESULTS! Thank you Dr. Kavanagh for being the BEST of the BEST.

I even decided to get treatment for myself.
