Just came back from my appointment at Hulse Orthodontics for an orthodontist consult and all I can say is that this office is AMAZING! ********************* FIRST IMPRESSIONS: After looking at reviews on yelp, I decided to give Hulse Orthodontics a call to schedule an appointment. Right off the bat, the woman on the phone was so sweet, polite, and was able to answer all of my questions in a heartbeat. Instead of having to wait a week to schedule my appointment they had openings the same week! I ended up scheduling for 2 days out. When the day arrived, I drove to the office using google maps. It was very easy to find since the side of the building said Hulse Orthodontics. The parking lot was very spacious and had ample parking available. Right when I walked in, I was so amazed by the interior design. It was so modern, rustic, and comfortable. Basically - nothing like all the other dental offices I've been to. Instead of a dental office, I felt like I was in a new home showing. I could tell that the office was very kid friendly because there was a separate section for arcade games, what?! I walked up to the front desk and the woman already knew it was me even though it was my first time! I had already filled out the forms beforehand so I handed her those and got checked in within a minute. After about 3-5 minutes, another staff member grabbed me to go do all of my scans. This is a predominantly female staffed office FYI. Everyone was super nice and seemed to enjoy working at this office. ********************* ORTHO CONSULT: I can go on and on about my experience, but I just wanted to say that Janelle and Dr. Hulse was AMAZING during the consult. They told me the good, the bad, and what I should expect. Janelle was so knowledgeable and answered all of my teeth and insurance questions without any hesitation. Overall every staff member I met today were very kind, smart, and professional. I wish they did general dentistry here too, but unfortunately only orthodontia. I saw a lot of kid, teen, and adult patients so I know that this office is popular for all ages. Overall, I am going to recommend this office to every single person I know. The customer service here was absolutely amazing. I could have gone to a different ortho office to get my treatment for a smaller, lower price, but I am happy to pay for the customer service and informative treatment here. read more

I cannot say enough nice things, everything about Hulse is fantastic. Everyone who works there is super nice, is great at what they do, they are always on time and super efficient. Not easy getting braces for a second time in life but they made it painless and had me wishing I had done it sooner. One of the best experiences I've had with any company ever. read more

Dr. Hulse was the ortho for both my boys. He goes above and beyond for his patients. He is super friendly, kind, and relatable. He makes decisions for his patients like they were his own kids. The staff - every single person - is nice, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I have a hard work schedule, so making appointments is difficult. The staff goes out of their way to help and don't make you feel difficult in any way. I truly can't say enough about the Hulse practice. Top notch. read more

Very impressed with this orthodontic office. As an adult I have been here a few times myself. I urgently needed my permanent bottom retainer repaired (was "installed" in San Francisco) and Dr Hulse repaired it and didn't charge me. A few years later, same scenario. When I finally needed it replaced, of course I went to him. I told him if I ever had children they would definitely need braces and I'd bring them. Well, had two kids. My daughter turned 9 this weekend. We took her in today for a consultation and she left with braces. This place is great. Every one who works there from Janet who runs through the treatment plan and costs, Ari who helped put her braces on and Dr Hulse and Dr Kelsey were involved in placing of the braces. It was clear that they both will be taking care of my daughter when she comes in and they were both actively involved. I can't comment on price really except to say that it was in line with what I expected. This practice is also very involved with the community and supporting local schools. I am a big fan and highly recommend Hulse Orthodontics. ETA: Dr Hulse personally reached out tonight to check on my daughter after getting her braces today. They truly care about their patients. read more

From getting braces at age 15 to now at 21 getting some teeth fixed, Dr. Hulse has blew me away. This nye I had an accident that left me with one tooth completely missing and one tooth broken and Dr. Hulse made absolutely no hesitation about getting me in RIGHT away and giving me some temporary relief. He's been a huge help to my family through braces and now this. Words genuinely cannot describe how thoughtful and selfless Dr. Hulse truly is... oh and of course he does outstanding work as well :) read more

If I could give Hulse Orthodontics 10/5 stars, I would. I want to start off by saying that my daughter has been blessed with GREAT healthcare providers across the board. Dr. Hulse and his team at Hulse Orthodontics are the pinnacle of oral healthcare and orthodontics. The staff of the entire facility are always warm, compassionate, and uber professional. They treat the patients and their family members.... well, like family. This is not just their doctors; but their assistants, admin... everyone. They use the most advanced technology possible, which ultimately decreases your treatment time, pain, etc. (My daughter asks why she just can't get all x-rays at Hulse ;)). The facility is always immaculate, welcoming, and inviting. We were quoted a 22-month estimated timeline for braces. They shattered that estimate. My kid gets to eat (almost) what she wants this Halloween. Now, granted, she was also a VERY good patient. Listened carefully to the DOs and did them all. Listened to the DON'Ts and didn't do them. In that sense, healthcare outcomes are always a 2-way street, right? But Hulse Orthodontics makes everything EASY. From initial exam/x-ray/consultation to contract to completion, we knew what we were getting and the plan. I WANTED to be the one to take her to the appts. I enjoyed them. :) Dr. Hulse and Dr. Kelsey are not only the consummate experts and professionals, but their "bedside manners" are nonpareil. Lastly, Hulse Orthodontics continuously gives back to the local schools and community. ALL THE TIME. They make me proud to be a Carlsbad resident. Thank you for everything, HULSE TEAM! They will get my recommendation to anyone that will listen 24/7/365. read more

De. Hulse has been absolutely amazing! Fantastic experience and I had to have 2 teens have braces on at the same time. They both just got them off and their teeth look amazing! Very professional and everything excellent! read more

My experience is based on my short visit there. I'm not going to go into details here... but I felt like I was treated like family, and he basically referred me to go back to my orthodontist in Florida because the treatment I wanted here would be way more expensive. I used to have invisalign... which is a 5-7k procedure... my last few trays have dissappeared, and he said I would need to go through the whole thing again... which is why he said it would make more sense for me to talk to my previous orthodontist. He seems like someone who truly has your best interest at heart... and his staff is all super friendly and kind. read more

Hulse helped me repair my melted Invisalign retainers in 24 hours. I melted my retainer one morning, had an appointment for later that day and the next day I had a new top retainer! They fit better than my old ones and they even graciously tweaked my bottom wire retainers, which were from another orthodontist, so that they fit better. Everyone at the front desk was SO nice and helpful over the phone. Great orthodontist office! read more

I got upper and lower braces earlier this month and am so excited for the journey! Since the initial call I made to hulse orthodontics I have been impressed- great service from front desk to the back! I can't remember the assistant name but she was wonderful! She explained everything she was going to do and how it would feel and even talking about how to care for the braces and my teeth while she was installing them- Ashlee? I know it was a common name but spelled in a unique way. Hopefully she knows I'm talking about her! She was so lovely. Also Dr. Hulse was fabulous! He was so enthusiastic about my results it made me feel great! He must see dozens of clients a day and to have a great attitude makes it better. Sure my teeth are tender but all worth it to have a better smile! I've called a couple times about questions/concerns and they have always been understanding and detailed with their answers which is so re assuring! read more

My daughter just had her braces removed yesterday and her teeth look amazing. They danced to "Celebrate" and gave her a huge tube of gum balls; she felt so special. Dr. Hulse and staff were always very happy to communicate the progress every step of the way. They love what they do and they love their patients. Would definitely recommend! read more

I think everyone with orthodontic needs in my neighborhood comes to this office, and now I see why. The office is large and quite impressive with an arcade to pass the time and sinks for kids to brush their teeth. They are incredibly fast working there and great about scheduling. Furthermore, every single employee goes out of their way to be friendly, warm and a joy to work with. I highly recommend this office for kids and adults alike. read more

Fantastic staff!! So kind and patient!. Beautiful office. We can't say enough great things about our experience!

A HUGE 5 star review that is long overdue for this amazing Ortho! Dr. Hulse has always been the best, I was 8 when I got my braces from him He had set up the greatest payment plans with my family in order to make it work. He does an astounding job at making sure everything is perfect and double checks on his assistants to make sure the work is done right (although, my teeth were pretty bad so I got the pleasure of chatting his ear off most of the time) Every since I got my spacers, to now my finished beautiful smile--and yearly check ups-- he is always there to fix and maintain the beautiful work he puts forth. Also, Melinda and the couple other amazing ladies that handle the front desk have always been warm, welcoming, and so very helpful and reassuring. THANK YOU Dr. Hulse! My family and I cannot thank you enough for all of your generosity! (P.S nice new location!!) read more

As a senior in high school, I was worried about getting braces "too late" in the game. But after visiting Hulse Orthodontics and hearing about the invisalign option, I was able to get my teeth straightened with a way that was unobtrusive and hardly noticeable. Throughout my time as a patient, Dr. Hulse and his staff were always friendly, upbeat, personal, and knowledgable. They truly care about each and every person, and I felt listened to and cared about during every visit to the office. Now, visiting the office almost 5 years later, they have only gotten better. In the past few months, the offices have moved to a new location that feels more like an upscale lounge than a place where potentially nerve-wracking dental operations take place. I enjoyed both of my recent visits and appreciate the time they took into me as a client, even after finishing my Invisalign. Thank you to Dr. Hulse and all of the incredible staff for making the process of achieving straight teeth so smooth, painless, and even enjoyable! read more

When our daughter was in fourth grade, we were told she needed to have her jaw broken and reset in order to correct a severe underbite. My gut feeling as a mother did not want to accept this solution and thought, "There has to be another way!" After speaking with three orthodontists (yes, I'm tenacious), all agreeing the only treatment would be to break her jaw, we found Dr. Hulse. During our consultation, he took x-rays and assured us there was no need to break her jaw and reset it. He explained she'd need two phases in braces; the first to align her jaw then later, when her baby teeth fell out, a second phase to correct the placement of the adult teeth. He went on to describe the kind of treatment involved with each phase. Finally, a plan that was not invasive! Our daughter began phase one at the age of ten. It took a little over two years to complete and dramatically changed her mouth! We had to wait a few years for her baby teeth to fall out then began the second phase. At sixteen, she now has a beautiful smile! We cannot give Dr. Hulse and his amazing staff enough stars or a big enough "THANK YOU"! Everyone in this office is driven by a sincere care for each patient who walks through their doors and is reflected, not only in their smiles and by the way in which they interact, but also by their immaculate facility and efficiency with which this practice is run. Professionalism and up-to-date technology may be the bedrock of their success, but it's the warmth of a family atmosphere that makes you feel you're in good hands. Dr. Hulse has beautified the smiles of two of our children. I wish I had known about him when our three older ones were in braces. To say I recommend him is an understatement! read more

After 2 years of monthly visits to Hulse Orthodontics, my son has a beautiful smile. Dr Hulse was with him every step of the way. The entire staff was always welcoming and accommodating to our schedule needs and took every measure to learn my sons name from the first appointment. Dr Hulse took the time and treated my son as if he was his own child. Hulse Orthodontics is not only a clean, reputable office, more importantly, they are a part of the Carlsbad community. I have referred many of my friends and family and would highly recommend a visit to his office if you are in the need of Orthodontics services. Thank you Dr Hulse for the love and attention you gave my son! read more

The Hulse Orthodontic's staff is always so kind and friendly. 6 years post-braces, I still come in every once and a while to get my permanent retainer re-glued and it is always a pleasant experience. Dr. Hulse got me in and out the door quickly and painlessly. He is always happy to see a returning customer which is why I will always rely on Hulse Orthodontics. read more

Hulse Orthodontics in Carlsbad is a great team of professionals who offer high quality orthodontic care. The front desk staff always greets you with a smile and works to accommodate your schedule.

Will go back with my 2nd child for sure. read more

Excellent service, excellent staff, excellent Dr, excellent end result. Just choose Hulse Orthodontics, you will love your time with them. My wife just completed adult braces with Dr Hulse. Her correction was fairly intense as it involved crowding and therefore extractions and then gaps to fill in by moving her teeth around. My wife wanted Invisalign and every other Ortho said that wouldn't work and that she would first have to be in full braces for at least 2 years, then switch over to Invisalign. We sat down with Hulse and he convinced us he could do the Invisalign and been completely done in 2 years. It was done in 22 months. So that's a review of our experience with their service/people. Here's the icing on the cake... they just moved into a bigger brand new facility and it feels like walking into a nice day spa. Swanky swanky swanky diggs, and his rates with right inline with all of the other Orhtos we interviewed. Couldn't be happier with this experience. Our kids will most definitely be using Hulse Orthodontics if they need braces. 5 huge stars. read more

Friendly staff, professional and attentive. I was given very flexible appointment times and when I showed up they always had me on my way in a quick timely manner without any questions or doubts on my way out. Overall, my experience with Doctor Hulse and the staff at Hulse Ortho was above all expectations and I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about Invisalign. read more

I can tell you the office is clean, the staff is sharp and the doctor is thoughtful and careful, but the story that tells it all is what happened when things went wrong. On Christmas Eve at 7:30 PM we had an ortho emergency. We called the cell phone for Dr. Hulse and he met us at the office 20 minutes later. Quick fix and we were back home and tucked in for Santa within the hour. 5 stars for Hulse Orthodontics read more

Love this office Dr Hulse and everyone who works there is kind and amazing. It's even a bit of a drive for us to get there but with 4 kids all needing braces I will only go here as I trust him. read more
