    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.

From the moment I called and Jessica answered the phone they were attentive, empathetic, and professional. Malia took care of her and was incredibly gentle and caring in her approach. I could tell they love what they do. Dr.White was there diligently explaining the procedure to another patient. I'm beyond grateful to this amazing team for fitting me in immediately and providing top-notch care. Their expertise, kindness, and dedication to patient care are truly exceptional. Not only did they resolve my emergency issue, but they also took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process. Their office is modern, clean, and welcoming, which only added to the positive experience. If you're looking for an orthodontist and a team who truly cares about their patients, look no further than this practice. Thank you again for your outstanding care and compassion. We are so grateful!

I had been self conscious about my smile for some time, and after moving to SB, I decided I wanted to do something about it. After a visit to *another* local ortho office, I didn't think I could afford braces at. all. But while in an awesome "make positive changes" phase of life, I happen to find that Costco offers discounts through Delta Dental. AND Delta Dental covers adult orthodontic care. AND Wright & Feusier strive to care for their community, so they accept Delta Dental. I called to confirm and got a free consultation appointment for the next week. After talking with Deb and Dr. Feusier, I learned about what their goals were (straighter teeth, fix narrowing and crowding, etc), limitations (need metal braces on bottom because of natural overbite, could not remedy overbite entirely because I'm naturally missing an incisor), and the cost associated. They said i could take the cost details home and talk it over with my partner (2600 + 500 for retainers) and projected one month for a visit if I wish to get started. Well, the projected cost was ONE FOURTH that suggested by another local place AND they happen to have a cancellation two days later, so I decided to go for it!! 16 months of braces was freaking awesome through them. I felt communicated with, knew what was asked of me to get the best smile possible, and I absolutely adore the staff of this office. I would GLADLY encourage any child, teenager, adult, or senior to work with Wright & Feusier!!!! Getting braces through them have made me more confident, proud of myself for making a positive change, and so excited to suggest them to my friends.

    I am glad to see people are happy with their care. My mother came in for a consultation and felt as…read moreif she was being talked down to. It bothered her so much that she asked me to write a review. It was not the front desk.

    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.

    I have nothing but good things to say about this business. All of the girls are so sweet, and…read morealways in a great mood. I am always greeted with a smile and genuine "hello" which doesn't happen everywhere. What a great staff! Dr Swenson is such a refreshing addition to the team! He is always cracking jokes, and like the girls, always in a great mood. He makes you feel comfortable and important like you're not just another person taking up a seat. I just got my braces off after having them for a little under 2 years. Any time I needed an appointment change or had any questions they were all there to help. I'm absolutely IN LOVE with my teeth now and I can't stop looking at them. I highly recommend that if you're thinking about braces you should check out Edstrom, Trigonis, and Swenson. You won't be disappointed!

    Dr. Swenson is one of the nicest people I have ever met so it pains me to write this review. I do…read morenot want other families to go through what we have been through at this office. My son finally got his braces off. Three years after getting them on and a whole year delayed. There were numerous problems and mistakes made. Some by my son for not following protocol 100% but mostly the assistants putting brackets on incorrectly, wires not being cut short enough cutting into his cheek, and going months before the next visit before figuring out that bands were not in the right place. Not to mention that when my son had emergencies it was a challenge to get an appointment. Maybe they double or triple book in order to close the office on Fridays. Sometimes waiting over a week before they could get him in. My son was so happy to get his braces off only to be greatly disappointed with the work. His teeth are straight. However, now he has a noticeable flare in his upper teeth which he did not have before. I was unhappy with the service of mainly the orthodontic assistants and inability to get appointments easily from the get go and had tried to switch him to another orthodontist early on in the treatment but was unable to do so. The new orthodontist did not want to do any work on someone who already started treatment Needless to say, I did not send my second child to this office. She instead went to Dr. Thatcher almost 2 years after my son started his treatment. She finished her orthodontic treatment before my son, granted, her case was much easier, with fantastic results constantly receiving compliments from everyone on her beautiful teeth. We plan to consult with Dr. Thatcher to see if she can correct my son's flared upper teeth. It's disappointing to have to now spend money and time on two orthodontic treatment rounds.

    I came in after looking for a reliable orthodontist on Yelp. I was impressed by their reviews and…read morescheduled a free consultation. The day of the consultation I got the braces on! I always was excited to come in for an appointment to get my braces tightened and/or get new wires. The staff here is kind and considerate. I had my braces on for little more than 2 years and am so satisfied with the results. Imelda was the orthodontist assistant that usually helped me and she's amazing. She is super sweet and always made sure no wires were poking me. Dr McDade is an excellent orthodontist, he really cares about his patients and wants them to be happy with their results. After I got my braces off I got retainers and Dr McDade fixed two of my chipped teeth. I had originally gone to Johnson dental and they had quoted me a little more than $8000 for braces. I saw their reviews and was hesitant to go with them. I am so glad I came here. I paid less than $8k and received great orthodontic care by trustworthy and efficient staff.

    I just received my braces last week with Dr. McDade and I am extremely happy. Initially I was going…read moreto go with my regular dentist because it was cheaper. However, when I went to see McDade for a consult, I instantly felt comfortable and knew he was going to do an excellent job improving my smile. Indeed, he mentioned how when I smile, I don't show my upper teeth (and he can fix this)which is true, but I never paid attention and I tend to smirk not smile. I knew my smile wasn't the greatest, but I couldn't pin point what it was. Ok so then I saw my dentist to see if he could do the braces, I didn't like him for this because he didn't mention anything abt my smile like McDade did and I felt he wasn't going to do a great job.-he is not an orthodontist-but it was cheaper. AT the end, I choose McDade and I made the right choice because he uses top of the line equipment, he is kind and an expert at fixing your smile. For those who want to see their regular dentist for braces I say stick with the experts in this field and go to an orthodontist like Dr. McDade, you may pay less w a regular dentist, but you will end up paying more later on when your smile is not completely fixed.
