I had my first visit with Dr. Truong yesterday after being referred by my new dentist, Dr. Yap, and I wanted to share my experience. From the moment I walked in, the office staff was professional, friendly, and welcoming. When I went back for X-rays, the young woman assisting me was incredibly warm and engaging--she made small talk, asked questions, and really helped me feel at ease. They even gave me a brief tour of the office, explaining where everything happens and what to expect. It wasn't a huge office, but that personal touch made a difference and helped me feel comfortable right away. When I met with Dr. Truong, he asked what I wanted for my smile. I explained that while my teeth aren't in bad shape, I do have a little crowding on the bottom and a slight overbite. I'm an adult, and while some people might question getting braces at this stage, I just want to feel more confident about my smile. I originally went in thinking I wanted Invisalign, but after our discussion, I decided on clear braces instead. What I really appreciated was that he didn't push me in any direction--he simply explained my options between Invisalign and traditional braces. He made it clear that Invisalign requires a lot of self-discipline (wearing them 22 hours a day), whereas braces allow him to have more control over the results. Knowing myself, I felt that clear braces would be the better choice to stay on track and complete treatment in the shortest time possible. Overall, the entire visit took less than an hour, and I left feeling informed, comfortable, and confident in my decision. I haven't started treatment yet, but based on my experience so far, I would absolutely recommend this office. So far: read more

Dear Yelp, I would like to share a concern regarding our recent experiences with the front desk at Dr. Steven-Hung Q. Truong's orthodontic office. My wife recently brought our son to the office after part of his orthodontic appliance unexpectedly came off. Because this was an unforeseen issue, she brought him in so the problem could be assessed. The receptionist questioned why she had not made an appointment. We understand that appointments are generally required, but an orthodontic appliance coming loose or having a piece come off is not something that can always be anticipated and scheduled in advance. I believe this may have been the same receptionist I encountered during one of my son's previous visits. On that occasion, my son and I were the only people in the reception and waiting area, and the office did not appear to be busy. After I checked my son in, the receptionist did not indicate that the check-in was complete or provide any direction, such as asking us to have a seat. Since I was unsure what to do next, I remained at the counter. She then asked whether I had a question. Although these interactions may not have been intended negatively, I found them confusing and unwelcoming. I am not expecting special treatment, but I do believe patients and their families should receive basic courtesy, reassurance, and clear communication from front-desk personnel. We appreciate the orthodontic care provided to our son, which is why I wanted to share this experience. Unexpected orthodontic problems can happen, and when they do, families should be able to approach the office for assistance without feeling as though they have done something wrong because they could not make an appointment beforehand. Thank you for taking the time to consider my review. read more

I started my orthodontic treatment with Murrieta Orthodontics in January 2024, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! I'm absolutely in love with my new smile. Dr. Truong and his entire team are top-notch. Dr. Truong is incredibly meticulous and truly passionate about his work. He really took the time to listen to my concerns and made sure I felt heard every step of the way. It's clear that he's dedicated to delivering the best results, and his attention to detail made a huge difference. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always made each visit enjoyable. I've created such great patient - staff relationships where I felt like they genuinely cared about events in my personal life. If you're looking to improve your smile, I highly recommend Murrieta Orthodontics. I guarantee you'll be in great hands! read more

Both my daughter and myself have been patients of Dr. Truong's. My daughter began her journey with Dr. Truong at an early age due to the extensive issues she had with teeth crowding in her tiny mouth. She has just gotten her braces off and I'm so very pleased with Dr. Truong's care and expertise with her. The office staff has been very professional and accommodating if we had to cancel or reschedule appointments and have been helpful answering questions in regards to our insurance coverage. I highly recommend Dr. Truong and Murrieta Orthodontics. read more

Travelling through Murrieta, my daughter discovered one of her wires had bent, causing significant pain. It was Saturday, our own orthodontic practice was not open. Murrieta Orthodontics invited us into their office, took a look at my daughter's wire, determined it was a quick fix, and fixed it even though my daughter is not one of their patients. They were caring, compassionate, and understanding of our situation. I highly recommend giving them a chance for your business. read more

Best orthodontist around. I love that they have Saturday appointments available. And I love that whenever I call about problems with my kids braces or appliances, they try their best to get them seen as soon as possible. Dr. Truong is amazing with my kids. Always looking out for their well-being. I love how he explains thoroughly about the process that he takes with each of my children. The staff is also great. Always smiling and saying hello to everyone who walks in. The office is nice. They have a tv to keep little ones occupied while they wait, they also have video games and coloring books too. Sometimes it can get a little overwhelming when it gets busy because there's not that much seating for everyone. read more

Murrieta Orthodontics is a great place to go to, should you ever need to get braces. I was lucky enough to not need braces during high school, but unfortunately, my teeth's alignment started messing up throughout college. It wasn't horrible but I decided to go get them fixed before they became too bad; better safe than sorry! I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Truong. He came off as extremely nice and professional. He examined my teeth, explained the different options I had in regards to the various types of braces that I could choose to get and I was on my way in no time. Everything was pretty quick and painless. I'm still a few months away from completing my Invisalign treatment, but I have to say that I'm pretty pleased with the results that I have so far. Definitely would recommend this place. read more

I'm percent sure I made the right choice by bringing my daughters here. With so many options I truly felt overwhelmed. From the beginning I felt very comfortable with the level of service I was receiving over the phone. Once I got into the office it only got better. The orthodontist is very professional and kind. He explained everything to me & made sure I understood. He also spoke to my 10yr old & made her feel comfortable. Now, I take my 12 yr old too. My 8 yr old is next. I'm extremely happy with this place & highly recommend it to my friends & family, that's why I took the time & decided to post this review. read more

Dr. T and staff accommodate everyone of all races, shapes, and colors. I have had treatment on and off since 2007. Not only have they seen me grow, but they have also flourished throughout the years due to ensuring everyone is trained and more importantly that they're happy. Dr. T and staff take the time to welcome and train new employees. This is also extended to anyone looking to pursue a higher education as Dr. T and Kathleen (both alums from UCLA and UCSD) enjoy creating opportunities for the future leaders of the world by on boarding local high school students where they can expand the following skills: clerical , customer service, organization, time management, accounting, insurance processing, communication, computer software navigation.....the list can go on!! These skills will be especially useful for college/college applications and overall anyones future career choice as it has been for me considering I too was mentored in their establishment. Ultimately, Dr. T and staff establish relationships with all their patients and treat them like family. I'd recommend to stop by and form your own opinion as I have and take advantage of the mentoring opportunity they offer so you too can leave with not only a great smile, but also real world experience!! read more

The dentist you recommended to us Dr. Thomas, wonderful. Pulled my daughters teeth with no complications. I can wait for my son getting his braces started with you guys.

While they're only open on Mondays and Thursdays (and some Saturdays), they do a great job of scheduling you and I rarely have an issue with getting a workable, convenient appointment. What's even better is that they actually take you at your scheduled time and they don't make you wait in the back. I come in typically with two kids and we are usually in and out in 30 minutes. read more

My daughter has been a patient of Dr. Troung since around 2010. My daughter had to have 2 phases. This office has always been easy to deal with. From appointments to insurance and payments to treatment. Everyone is professional and nice. Dr. Troung is very nice and is Not in it for the money but is in it because he cares about each patient's smile. I would highly recommend you call here for a consult. I have referred many family and friends. read more

Dr. Truong and his staff are great. Staff is very friendly and attentive. The place is very clean and there is entertainment for the little ones. I was referred to Dr. Truong once I decided to get braces. I had visited other places, but I I knew this place was the best. His work is so great that I didn't mind the 45min drive once a month. I just got my braces off and my teeth are nice and straight! He was able to close the gap on my top side from a tooth that just never grew back. You can't tell I'm missing a tooth! I highly recommend this place. Quality service and braces. read more

Horrible experience. I exercised my right to leave an honest review and no sooner than my son got his braces off, the male orthodontist called me into his office to discuss my honest review. He was condescending, rude, kept cutting me off while I was talking and all but called me a liar. He was upset that I called him and his staff out for being blatantly prejudice against my melanated son. Instead of being non biased he was extremely defensive. He went out of his way to inform me he services all races however I've been bringing my son to this office since 11/19/2015 when he started his procedure and have only seen white assign and Hispanic customers. I clearly see why now. I feel as though his talk with me only shed more light on how prejudice he is against black people. I would definitely detour anyone that considers themselves African American to not spend your money with this business. The male orthodontist has horrible energy. He and his staff need sensitivity training as well as an understanding on how to work with and treat with respect all cultures not just white people read more

Really Professional Orthodontics Place. My brothers and I go here for the braces treatment and we pretty much have a good experience here. The staff are pretty nice here and Dr. Steven Troung is pretty cool. I make my way through the pain of the procedure of the braces by using snapchat and my phone while they work on my teeth. I was just kidding it wasn't that bad when I get my teeth tightened but you get my point. Anyways off topic. LOL. The environment is clean it felt very professional like I said. So yeah. I recommend this place for everyone. The x-rays are pretty cool too. My teeth are now perfect because of this place. I don't know about you and about your teeth but you should try this out, I think you would like it. They did a good job on my treatment. Thank you everyone and especially to Doctor Troung. I feel more confident with my new better teeth :D -Beca read more

Dr. Troung is such a great orthodontist my teeth are perfect! I just got them off today and I am in love with them! They even gave me a goodie bag of all the stuff that I couldn't eat for two years! Their staff were very nice. Dr. Troung really cares how your teeth look and is a perfectionist! I am so glad I went to him! read more

The staff was very friendly and I had a wonderful experience while I had my braces on. They're very knowledgeable about braces and fixed my teeth with care and expertise. I highly recommend this place to anyone. I live in San Diego and would drive about a hour each time. read more

Dr. Truong is very honest and very flexible. I will never find a better orthodontist that works directly with the patients schedule and budget. He provides amazing work and the environment is very friendly, welcoming, and accessible. Everyone in the clinic is very professional and treats patients like a family. Dr. Truong also does the best check ups and follow ups even after braces have been removed. He takes extra care with the patient's teeth because he is not in it for the money. Instead, He does what he does best as he cares about each and every patient's smile. We always leave on a good and happy note. Very Recommended and will refer many friends and family! read more

I went here for an orthodontic consultation and never went back. I have dental insurance that covers ortho treatment so I called them to get info on my coverage and get a list of clinics within the HMO. I was told I had a copay of 1.35k and my insurance would cover the cost of full treatment up to 24 months including fixed and removable appliances, and retainers would be covered with a copay of 250. I got this clinic's information from my insurance and booked an appt. I waited for about 20 mins, then they took panoramic xrays and then met the Dr. He told me i'd need 4 extractions and would have an estimated treatment time of 24 months. I asked about cost, he handed me off to the office manager. I told the lady that I have insurance that will cover most of the treatment minus my deductible. She took down my insurance info, left then came back with the quote.Said my treatment would cost 4.8k for 30 months and my insurance would only cover 1k, so i'd be left with an out of pocket cost of 3.8k. Keep in mind this does not cover the cost of 4 extractions.I know my insurance does covers more, but if the staff are unwilling to work with my insurance and would rather have me pay out of pocket I don't want to give them my business so I just left. I'm glad I ended up going to another orthodontist because instead of extractions he recommended a palatal expander which I wore for 6 months- no need for extractions. That orthodontist quoted me for 3.5k and was willing to work with my insurance. I can't speak for the quality of services at Murrieta Orthodontics, It seems other people really like the Dr's results, but my advice is to shop around. You can get straight teeth without getting ripped off - and apparently without getting your teeth pulled. read more
