I received Invisalign treatment from Dr. Mogavero. While Invisalign itself is great, I would recommend finding another provider. Dr. Mogavero seemed more focused on speeding through the treatment and getting me out quickly rather than ensuring proper results. During the final step of my alignment treatment, he assured me that any remaining teeth movement would occur with the retainers and told me not to worry. However, when the retainers arrived and did not facilitate any further movement, I reiterated my concerns. He dismissed me with, "Have a good year." read more

Dr. Mogavero really cares about the kids. Each one. That's a special person. I highly recommend him.

I owe Dr Frank Mogavero a huge debt of gratitude. He suggested my daughter get a mandibular osteotomy to address the breathing problems that disrupted her sleep, thereby sapping her energy. He recommended Dr. Edward Balasanian (see my review) for the surgery while he would do the orthodontic work. The results are fantastic. My daughter visibly has more energy now and more confidence due, in part, to the positive alteration to her facial profile (though subtle.) I highly recommend Dr. Mogavero and his team, hands down! read more

He's bitter, not very nice, doesn't care if he hurts your child when snapping in a retainer. After going through full treatment, my daughters perfect teeth... her bottom teeth are crooked and I'm sure he'll blame it on her not wearing her retainer... she religiously wore her retainer as prescribed. On to another orthodontist. Don't waste your time or money. You won't get either. read more

I am truly impressed with the staff of Dr Mogavero. They were ALWAYS available when I needed them to fix something or I had questions. I felt like the staff treated me more than just a patient but a friend as well. Dr Mogavero is a great Orthdontist and I would give his name out to anyone with orthodontist needs. He did amazing work on my teeth & I feel so confident with my beautiful smile! To add, Monica & Stephanie are amazing. They always went above and beyond for me and I appreciate them so much. They made me feel comfortable through every visit. Highly suggest this practice for adults & kids with ortho needs! read more

Warning to all military - do NOT go here for treatment if there is ANY chance you will be PSCing at any time during the length of your treatment. We were told that if we moved, we would only be charged a pro-rated amount for services rendered and wherever we moved that they would do the same to finish up treatment. This is NOT accurate. We had to move after only 9 months of treatment (out of 24 months). During that time we paid off 75% of the total treatment cost and received about 30% of the needed orthodontic work. When we got to our new location and visited the local orthodontist we found out that we have to start ALL OVER AGAIN. We have to start treatment again AND pay for ALL of it all again. There is NO pro-rated amount on the other end. The orthodontist here at our new house told us that she advises ALL military to NOT start treatment unless they know FOR SURE that they will remain in the area for the entire duration of the treatment. The exact OPPOSITE advice we were given at Dr Mogavero's Office, despite asking several times what would happen if we had to move. It is incredibly frustrating to have to pay over $8000 for something that we were originally quoted at paying $4500. Do yourself a favor, WAIT to start treatment if there's any chance you are going to have to move. Despite all of the above, I must say that the staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. If we had been able to stay and see the treatment out all of the way, I would have given a 5 Star review. However, after feeling like I just threw away over $3000 despite having asked all the right questions and thinking that I had all of my bases covered, I am less than impressed. read more

Dr. Mogavero is the BEST! My three sons have been under his care over the span of the last 6 years. Each of his team members is extremely personable and professional. I'm happy with their teeth and my sons are happy with all the fun perks of being a patient here (they get points to accumulate towards gift cards for their tooth brushing skills to good grades). Thanks, Team Mogavero!!! read more

We previously used another children's dentist in San Clemente. When our son was recommended for braces we shopped around. Dr. Mongavero's office was highly recommended. He has offices in 3 separate locations, San Clemente, Mammoth and San Juan Capistrano. They always ensure the kids have a note for school and keep conversation. They greet your children by name and always remember them. It feels like my dentist as a kid who saw me my whole childhood from a small town. They really do excellent work at great prices and will even offer Military discounts and accept TRICARE and payment plans. read more

Mogavero J Frank, DDS - Awesome coffee and snacks while the parents wait. - Orthodontists Near Me - San Clemente, California

We discovered Dr. Mogavero shortly after he opened his San Clemente office, and he treated our two daughters. Dr. Mogavero and his staff are competent and caring, in a creatively fun atmosphere complete with giant screened tv's set within a skateboarding/snowboarding theme. They run their office like clockwork: professional and on-time, and the treatment has been amazing, our daughters' smiles are beautiful. When it came time for us to consider orthodontics for our son, our dentist sent us for a referral to their partner, and from there we decided to get several treatment and price comparisons from other orthodontists. We couldn't believe the disparity in treatment options and prices quoted, from required surgical treatments to extractions...the differences were unbelievable. Of course, walking back into Dr. Mogavero's office, there was no question. We had visited the top orthodontists in our area and they all paled in comparison when considering treatment plan and outcome, cost, facility, location, and honestly his amazing staff puts him over the top. He also explained that many dentists legally practice orthodontics with a limited amount of schooling, but who are not board-certified through the American Association of Orthodontics--which we didn't know. With our experience as a guide, look no further than Dr. Mogavero for your orthodontic needs. You'll be in good hands with his attentive, professional and capable care. read more

Dr Mogavero and his entire staff was amazing. I am so happy I went there for inbrace and couldn't be happier with the results! I highly recommend them! :) read more

Exceptional all around!!! Dr. Mogavero and his staff are genuinely caring and truly enjoy their job. The unique office decor has tons of games geared directly for kids and teens. There's a plethora of coffee and even a fresh bake Otis Cookie oven for the parents. I wish I had this experience as a child vs. starring at a cheesy cat poster tacked to the ceiling. :) AAA+++ read more

Dr. Mogavero's office was recommended by my dentist after he suggested getting braces due to pressure on one tooth causing it to crack. Upon entering the office you can tell the people that work here care about their patients. Even though I'm an adult and got adult braces (Invisalign), I enjoyed the warm cookies, gaming room, ski lift chairs in the waiting area! All the people from the front reception desk to Dr. Mogavero are nice, caring people that feel like family. Confirming appointments are a breeze and they work with you to get an appt time that works. If you want a good experience (adult, child or teen) get your braces here! Totally recommending Dr. Mogavero. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Mogavero and his staff for any and all orthodontic care. The staff are extrememly friendly, professional and they do great work. My daughter needed braces and was a bit nervous about the whole process. He and his staff put her at ease and really make the process fun. He offers a really neat rewards program that keep the kids engaged and excited about what's going on in their mouth. There are always refreshments and video games....major plus! They offer early morning appointments as well so she doesn't miss school. Thanks to Dr. Mogavero and his staff for a cool experience...we will be bringing in our son soon! read more

Dr. Mogavero is a true professional. His work is exceptional and he makes patients and their family comfortable. In a world of rushed medical care, Dr. Mogavero manages to spend quality time with patients, explaining the process and getting to know his patients. His staff is kind and professional as well. Our 2 sons are patients and we always refer friends whenever we can. Dr. Mogavero also makes meaningful contributions to the communities he serves, supporting local schools and athletes.... If I could add more stars...I would....we are super happy with Mogavero Orthodontics! read more

I can't say enough about Dr. Mogavero and his staff!!! 20 years and 4 kids later, and they all have perfect smiles! Thank you so much for everything!!! read more

Dr Mogavero & Invisilign program worked amazingly well for me!! My teeth were very crooked and crowded especially on lower teeth. Dr M's attention for detail, and passion for positive outcome was well received. His friendly staff were exceptionally knowledgeable & proficient during the entire process. The organization of the front office was super helpful in arranging the insurance billing & finances as well. Thanks, Dale Baker read more

Dr. Mogavero is an incredible doctor! I know him for 13 years. He took care of my three sons; and I have to say he did an amazing job fixing their teeth! My boys love going to his office! There is so much fun out there! The snowboarding décor is truly phenomenal! There is a room to study with a computer access and a desk. But you rarely have to wait. The administration and office staff is a group of outstanding professionals that stayed with Dr. Mogavero for years, making sure of the highest standards of care. Everyone is caring, kind and friendly. But what most important is my boys have a beautiful smile that Dr. Mogavero and his wonderful staff created! Thank you all for being there for us! read more

I can't say enough about Dr Mogavero and his staff. They have been beyond patient, loving, and attentive to my son. My son has a mild disability and they have gone above and beyond to comfort him (and not shame him when he broke his expander only 2 weeks after having it). When I call, they get us into the office immediately. It makes my eyes water when I watch how sweet they are and how proficient they are at making my sons experience as great as possible! read more

I would never recommend this ortho. He has an aweful bedside manner. My son is afraid everytime we go to his office. He charges for everything and tries to get you to sign up for multiple phases. The girls that work on my son are unprofessional and sometimes have foul language. There are many better places to go. read more
