In my 68 years, I have only found two dentists who really made me feel well taken care of. One was…read moreDr. Stephen Adams and his staff in Long Beach California. The other is Dr. Johnson of Johnson Family Dentist in Solvang. Although my first visit was today, Dr. Johnson and his staff were friendly and professional.

On January 24th, 2025 at 2:30 PM, I attended my appointment to Johnson family dentistry at 678…read moreAlamo Pintado in Solvang, California, Santa Barbara county. I had been referred to a dentist who was willing to do a root canal and recrown of one of my lower molars. I located them as they were the only ones within a 200 mile radius that took my insurance. My regular dentist, Dr Smith, at Feather Dentistry in San Luis Obispo, California, was not willing to do the work. But she had recommended me to someone who would, based on her assessment that I had a need for a new crown and a root canal. I arrived at the dental office and was attended to buy a Dr Johnson. He saw what was required, based on what he read from my referral dentist Dr Smith, and suggested we do the root canal and the crown that very day. I accepted. During the process of the root canal and the crown, Dr Johnson complained frequently that the entire process was quite difficult and seemed to have a problem getting at a point where he was satisfied with the work. I was very roughly treated, although not remarking so because I had no idea if this was normal or not. After quite a heavy physical struggle, he completed the process of both a root canal, and a crown. The final half an hour was done by his dental assistant, whose name I do not have. She seemed like about 35 or 40 years old, Latina, and finished whatever was necessary to complete the medical process. After paying around $1,000 out of pocket as well as whatever was required through my insurance, I left. Within a couple of days I felt that there was something very uncomfortable about the tooth. On April 1, 2025, I went to my regular dentist, D. Smith and talked to my hygienist. I said that I was feeling that there was something uncomfortable about the tooth. So consulting with Dr Smith, my regular dentist, they proceeded to do an x-ray and visual inspection of the tooth. One was noticed that an adjacent tooth had been chipped. So my dentist filled that chip tooth. I asked her if this could have been a result of the actions of Dr Johnson. She said probably not. But of course she was not sure. At the same time, or at some later date, she let me know that in fact the subject tooth the one requiring the root canal and crown had been cracked. She said it in the long run, it would need to be removed, and replaced with either a bridge or an implant. She also suggested that I have a more detailed optical image taken of the injury.

We were on vacation and had an orthodontics emergency. We texted the office and they were…read moreimmediately responsive. We came into the appointment 20 minutes early and they immediately took my son in the back. They were so caring and thoroughly explained what they were going to do to provide an immediate fix. I immediately felt so comfortable and calm in the office. I wish we were closer and could go to them full time. The office was the cutest and so clean and staff was so friendly. My son noticed we were back to our hotel before our "appointment time started." In hindsight, having the orthodontic emergency was a really good thing because it was really nice to have them look at my son's braces and assure that everything is going well.

In the office there is an air of jovial comradery, which is particularly helpful as going to the orthodontist/dentist can be stressful for people.

Any orthodontic work that I've had done there has been effective, with the desired outcome, and they've tried to make the experience as pleasant as possible. Every time I've been there, everyone has been so welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about White & Grube Orthodontics in Santa Barbara. While…read morevisiting Santa Barbara on vacation, my daughter had an issue with her temporary retainer, and even though we are not patients of their practice, they graciously fit us in the same day to take a look. Dr. Grube was absolutely outstanding--kind, patient, thorough, and incredibly reassuring. He took the time to carefully examine the retainer, explain what was going on, and confirm that everything was okay. He never rushed us and made sure my daughter felt comfortable the entire time. He also thoughtfully discussed longer-term options and gave a helpful recommendation for a permanent retainer, which we truly appreciated. What makes this even more remarkable is that this was the second time this office has helped us while we were on vacation. That level of generosity, professionalism, and genuine care speaks volumes about the practice and the people who work there. From the welcoming staff to Dr. Grube's calm and compassionate approach, this office exemplifies what great healthcare should be. If you're looking for an orthodontist in Santa Barbara--or even if you're just visiting and need help--White & Grube Orthodontics is exceptional. We are so grateful to them and highly, highly recommend this practice.

They stated that they will switch over the whole account including the money once we found an orthodontist in Florida. So I dropped it until this month when I found an ortho here in Florida. My daughter has had to have two phases with her ortho and she has completed phase one which was April 30, 2019 through November 2019 from what I can see in the paperwork. So that is seven months out of the 36 months her plan has called for. I paid $7172! $2787 is all I have received And they've stated that 60% of the treatment has been done. I've contacted this company three times by email and asked for communication to be done through writing which they have ignored all emails for over a week. They refuse to email me me back as to why 60% of the treatment is stated when only seven months of the 36 months has been completed , and where is the rest of the money because from my understanding this does not calculate. They will not further communicate with me to help me understand if someone would like to get in touch with me. At this point that would be great. You have my email.

For years, I was told I needed braces because of an extra tooth on my lower row--what I always…read morecalled my "shark tooth." It never felt urgent, so I kept putting it off. Then my top teeth started shifting and caving in a bit, and I knew it was time. I was referred to Dr. Ferris by friends who absolutely raved about him. I'll admit, I was a little skeptical going in--I assumed they'd recommend pulling the tooth like others had suggested. But instead, he recommended Invisalign. It honestly sounded too good to be true, but I decided to go for it. Now, I have a straight smile--no shark tooth--and while I thought I was happy with my smile before, I had no idea how much better it could be. My teeth are straighter than I ever imagined, and I truly couldn't be happier with the results. What really stood out, though, was the entire experience. Dr. Ferris has clearly created something special with his team. From the moment you walk in, the energy is different--welcoming, upbeat, and genuinely positive. Every single person I interacted with was not only professional, but truly kind and engaging. You never feel rushed, you feel taken care of. The level of customer service is exceptional. They remember you, they communicate clearly, they make the process easy, and somehow turn what you'd normally expect to be a purely clinical, in-and-out appointment into something genuinely enjoyable. It's organized, efficient, and still feels warm and personal--which is a rare combination. The office itself is beautiful--clean, modern, almost spa-like--but it's really the people that make it stand out. There's a sense that everyone enjoys being there, and it shows in how they treat their patients. I truly can't recommend Dr. Ferris and his incredible team enough. Professional, fun, welcoming, and results that speak for themselves.

Age 80, I have all my teeth, but lower 4 in front are becoming loose. Dentists had installed…read moresplints, a synthetic band, to tie them to the sound canines on either side, which proved effective, but with more bone loss over time, less so. I thought I'd give Orthodontists a try for a more permanent solution and found Wright and Feusier online. On my first visit I hit it off with Dr. Wright immediately. He examined my teeth and thought he could provide a brace, or wire, that would be custom made to go behind my 6 lower front teeth to tie them together. One of his technicians, that day, scanned my teeth so they could send an exact representation of my teeth to another business that could make the brace. To think such miracles are possible! They scheduled another visit a week later to install the device, which was accomplished by a technician in about a half hour. It was quite a process that seemed to go well and was given final inspection by Dr. Wright. I was advised too, that because I had so much bone loss, even with the device, I shouldn't bite into anything harder than a peanut butter sandwich. Well, just some few days later, I bit into roast beef sandwich, and I heard and felt a disconnection, and the loosest tooth came partially detached from the wire. I was a little discouraged but made an appointment to see what could be done, if anything. On this, the third visit, I saw Dr. Wright, who set me up with Edgar, another technician, who capably made repairs to the detached tooth, as well as smoothing a minor burr on one of my teeth. When he was done, Dr. John Feusier, reviewed his work with a pick to check for soundness and found a spot needing more attention, which Edgar, again ably addressed. Dr. Feusier took another probing look and approved the job, which thus far has proven very satisfactory. Dr. Feusier also recommended a Periodontist to see if there's something he can do about the loose teeth and bone loss. I mentioned all their favorable reviews and that they, unlike other dentists I've encountered, don't solicit customers to write reviews. He said they appreciate them, but don't solicit them, which I appreciate, as solicitations will skew the results towards, perhaps, undue favorability. I was charged $500 for all this work, which seemed like a bargain to me. There was no charge at all for the repair. This is a most ethical enterprise with highly qualified and friendly professionals on their staff. I couldn't be more impressed.
