I wish I could say I had a great experience with this practice. Time after time the office proved…read moreitself to be unorganized and unprofessional. Dr barely looked at my teeth during follow-up appointments and there was never a conversation about my treatment plan. The wait time was always 40min+. They would forget to call me when my new Invisalign aligners were ready. One time they ordered the previous set of aligners that I had already used for months. I'm glad I decided to reach out to ask because if I had continued to use the old aligners, my teeth would've moved all the way back. The front desk is unhelpful and not polite, even on the phone. The assistants are always changing which is never a good sign.

I was told my 11 year old would have jaw misalignment etc. We agreed etc and signed up for the 5000$ plan.After initial consultation with a Dr.she was then to take pictures herself at home and send them in! She did it twice and then refused.She never wore her Invisalign again.We were legally obligated to the 5 grand even after I explained the situation. Three years later we go in to have holders on teeth removed .When I mentioned to a person working there what had happened,she shrugged her shoulders and said -same with my son. But 5 grand,shrug? Kids! I had given up three years ago! You can't force them in their mouths! Lo and behold- we get the before and after pictures-send with pride!We did it! Her teeth weren't perfect but look pretty ok. But she never wore the Invisalign prescribed! So beware.Initial treatment day was so convincing and then you're basically on your own or your child's to take photos and send them in from home. Wasted money and worse-fights over wearing them, unfortunately not totally needed treatment. Lots of toys for patients and lovely staff but actual Dr contact minimum at best.I did call and ask cuz my Invisalign Dr checked every 6 weeks and these are kids with growing teeth and subsequent issues.

I did Invisalign treatment here last year. This office has their act together for sure. They…read moreclearly take care of a lot of children and teens here, but I also feel totally comfortable going there as an adult. Dr's Kim and Wilson are both on point. Their office runs like a well oiled machine. They are always on time, and they handle claims submission and payment like pro's. I see another reviewer that seems to have had a bad experience with the insurance piece, but that was not my experience at all. Most importantly, they seem to know everything there is to know about Invisalign. I had done Invisalign through a general dentist about 9 years ago and the experience was totally different. I would highly recommend going to an expert if you are going to invest several thousand dollars for treatment (mine was about $5,000 for a year-long treatment plan).

I've been disappointed by how much the pricing has increased over time, particularly for something…read moreas straightforward as a replacement retainer. There no longer seems to be any consideration or loyalty pricing for long-term patients. After calling around to other local orthodontic offices, I found comparable replacement retainers for nearly half the cost, and overall pricing differences that can amount to thousands of dollars for similar services. I've had orthodontic care at other offices in the past, including a more affordable practice in Novato (now retired) and Wilson, and the quality of results was the same. Unfortunately, this office now feels far more expensive than others offering comparable care. While the staff and outcomes have been ok, the pricing no longer feels competitive or reflective of long-standing patient relationships. I would encourage prospective patients to compare pricing with other offices before committing. Also, most advanced offices offer scanners instead of molds, so much more precise! And now if one loses retainer the can use scan avoiding costly old fashion mold replacement. Probably no good for $ for dentist but great for patients!

Dr. Valley is a thorough orthodontist and runs a very tidy and organized business. She sees my kids…read moreand has done a good job with them. I find communicating with her to be an odd experience most of the time though... There are an unusual amount of awkward pauses and a tone that seems to imply I might not understand the basic information I'm being given. I always feel as if I'm having a conversation with a robot that has been programmed to speak to children. I haven't decided whether to chalk it up to personality quirks, which intelligent people often have, or if she's maybe judging my intelligence on my appearance. I may not fit the mold of mundane suburban existence, but I do hold an advanced degree in a field of life science, not that one needs to in order to understand a basic update regarding their kid's braces. Anyway, the rest of the office staff are very easy to communicate with and highly organized. All in all I would recommend them.

Dr. Valley is incredible--she always knows exactly what she is doing and is fantastic at explaining everything and addressing any concerns. She is very kind, patient and warm-hearted. She always makes an effort to accommodate our schedule (despite her extremely packed one), and always makes herself available for any questions over the phone (even in the evenings) or emergency appointments in case a bracket falls out, or a wire is hurting, etc. The entire staff at Valley Orthodontics is always professional, polite and on top of things.The office is super cozy, clean, and fully stocked with refreshments (water bottles, hot cocoa, etc.) I would DEFINITELY recommend going to Dr. Valley! =)

We've been amazed at the treatment our daughter has received, and wholeheartedly recommend Sean to our friends and colleagues. The office has a great staff, and is equipped with some most amazing 3D imaging equipment. It makes you feel like your at ILM or Pixar rather than a orthodontic office. The pricing is fair, and the total charges are set for the duration of the treatment (even if you run into surprises). Basically, if you or your family needs orthodontic care, you won't find a a better service or more committed care than Carlson Orthodontics.

Dr. Carlson and his team at Simple Orthodontics were absolutely stellar. Dee made my son feel…read morecomfortable and at ease throughout his entire visit. She was not only warm and patient, but she immediately established trust with him, allowing her to take all the dental records in a way that he actually found cool and fun! Dr. Carlson was incredibly personable and sweet with my son, asking him questions directly and including him in his consultation. He listened to my concerns, advised on the next immediate steps and also put a plan together for long-term goals. He uses the most up to date and innovative technology, yet is still conservative and incredibly mindful in his methodology and treatment. As a dentist myself, it is of the utmost importance for me that my son has not only a comprehensive approach, but also a thoughtful one considering all the different factors in his development. I value Dr. Carlson's expertise and respect his pragmatic approach. I know he is not only looking at my son's teeth and skeletal development, but also his current and future smile, his airway, his speech, his future experience with orthodontics and how all of this will affect his social development and overall health from childhood to adulthood. Aside from being in the field of dentistry, as a Mom I also need to follow my intuition and after our first visit I know my son is in great hands.

They are very accommodating with appointments (I never had to take either of my kids out of school once) and appointments always started and ended on time. My husband and I both work in SF so the logistics of going to the orthodontist can be hectic. My daughter said Dr. Lee and Jasmine were always very gentle and did not cause her any pain. They also take insurance and are good about dealing with yours for you :) One of my biggest pet peeves in Marin is dentists who do not take insurance and make you deal with it on your own. I would recommend Dr. Lee and his office for your braces without hesitation!
