    I had an amazing experience with Thurman Orthodontics! From the very beginning, the entire team…read moremade the process of getting braces feel simple, stress-free, and actually exciting. I had gone to three other orthodontists before this, and their pricing honestly felt overwhelming--but Thurman Orthodontics was by far the most affordable option without sacrificing quality. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made every visit comfortable. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt confident moving forward with treatment. You can really tell they care about their patients and want the best outcomes for you. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience. If you're looking for a place that's professional, affordable, and has a great environment, I would definitely recommend Thurman Orthodontics!

    I completed treatment here and initially thought everything was fine, but I was not fully satisfied…read morewhen my braces were removed. When I expressed concerns about the final result, I was told everything "would settle" instead of a reassessment. After my braces came off, I was only seen by assistants, not the orthodontist. When I mentioned that something felt off and that my teeth seemed to be shifting, my concerns were dismissed rather than properly addressed. The retainers provided are extremely thin and fragile. They crack very easily, and I've had to return multiple times for replacements. Each replacement costs $20, and turnaround time for an appointment isn't always quick. Given how flimsy the retainers are, they don't provide the level of stability you would expect or need after orthodontic treatment, even with consistent wear. I asked to purchase a backup pair since they break so often, but I was told that wasn't allowed. When I raised concerns about relapse, instead of offering a small correction, I was encouraged to start full braces again, the most expensive option. There was no discussion of minor or conservative adjustments. Two years later after braces, my teeth have shifted significantly. In my experience, the retention plan and aftercare did not prioritize long-term stability. Retention is critical after braces. Once the active treatment was completed and paid for, the long-term follow-through was not a priority. I am now having to pay out-of-pocket elsewhere to correct shifting that a stronger retention plan could have prevented. If you choose this office, ask detailed questions about their retention protocol and long-term follow-up before committing. I would recommend choosing a provider who takes that phase seriously.

    Golden Hills Dental, Coarsegold: 2025 Aug 14 (1 of 5)…read more Jessica, hygienist: 4.5 of 5 It was a day like any other, except I have a dental appointment scheduled. Although I don't have any pain, I wanted to see what a 'professional' dentist says. I found this clinic, not through referral or recommendation, but from a flyer I received in the mail. Once there, I completed their forms - the usual things we do as a new patient. They suggested a cleaning so I said yes. Since I had a complete mouth X-ray several months back, I urged them not to take any more X-rays. While I was waiting, I overheard the dentist telling the patient before me that she needed extensive work, but all that could be done the same day. With that much work, I was impressed. In my mind, I'm hoping that I won't need as much work as that poor lady. After waiting sometime, I was called in for a cleaning. The dental hygienist, Jessica was pleasant, professional and understanding. (4.5 of 5) When my turn came for the dentist to see me, he mentioned the amount of work I needed. He didn't spend much time with me, yet he was quick to diagnose the problems. I was in disbelief. My shock must have shown on my face when he said that. A red flag popped up in my head. I clearly just heard him say the same lines to the lady before me. "This is what you need. We can do the work the same day but you need someone to drop you off and pick you up. It'll take about four hours." The dentist then said Suzanne will go over the cost with me. I was shown into another room, and several minutes later, wearing a white coat, Suzanne came into the room. Imagine how dumbfounded I was when Suzanne said it'll cost seven thousand two hundred and fifty-three dollars for the work. I asked if I really need all that work done. She said she can give me $158 discount, and not charge for the sedation, but it'll still be over seven thousand dollars. I checked myself out with the breakdown of the work and said I'll think it over. I reached out to Golden Hill via email to see which tooth or teeth need immediate attention. I didn't hear back. (1 of 5) Needless to say, I opted for a second opinion. The dentist I went to mentioned that none of the work requires immediate attention, but I should watch out for any signs of pain or discomfort. I am glad I got a second opinion. I am flabbergasted that Golden Hills Dental has such little empathy for their patients. To that end, I'm glad they did not see fit to respond to my email.

My son was born with a cleft lip/pallet and Dr. Greg and Dr. Nicole have been great with working with my son and his surgeon. They are truly amazing people. *Update - my son is now 18 1/2 and just had his braces taken off, we are so happy with his smile! I am forever thankful for this office and their team!

I never thought that at this age I'd be getting braces, let alone go through jaw surgery, but here I am smiling from cheek to cheek. Dr. Nalchajian and her entire office staff at the Fresno location welcomed me as family since the moment I arrived. From scheduling to making sure they were flexible with what location I could be seen at, the girls in the front are kind, funny, and extremely helpful, which is so wonderful. Dr. Nalchajian is bilingual and I love talking her in Spanish. I am unable to put into words how much information she has provided me with and even when she was busy moving her child into college, she still sent me a message when I had a question. Every interaction I've had has been heartwarming and leaves me with a happy feeling as I walk out the door, except when I had my braces tightened for the first time, LOL. Ouch! Pain wasn't as bad and went away after a couple of hours. Due to my jaw surgery, my mouth is extremely sensitive, but they were very precise and thoughtful in adapting to applying my bands and tightening for the first time. As you can see in the pictures, the gap has appeared and I have an expander in. Hopefully in a few months the expander will be removed and I'll keep you updated on my journey. Thank you to Dr. Nalchajian and her entire family in that office.
