PATIENT REVIEWS

I had gotten some retainers years back from Dr. Passamano. I’m currently in treatment with a renowned prosthodontist who is doing ortho work in combination with a dental implant crown replacement and potential upper incisor crown and veneer work. Reluctantly, I let the prosthodontist do the ortho work. Figured too many cooks would spoil the stew. As the treatment progressed, I began questioning the prosthodontist’s decisions. I called up Dr Passamano for a second opinion. He took X-rays, digital molds and pictures. He spent an hour with me reviewing the case at NO COST. He called my prosthodontist and they conferred about my case. He gave him advice and then called me back and allayed my fears. My prosthodontist incorporated his advice in treatment. I can’t believe how amazing that was. I’ve seen his work as well. He’s a true professional and good at what he does. Please, if you’re considering ortho work for your child or as an adult, Dr Passamano is absolutely amazing and passionate about his patients and craft.  Can’t recommend enough

TRULY AWESOME! 100 STARS BUT GOOGLE MAXED ME OUT AT JUST 5!!!!!I can’t say enough about Passamano Orthodontics. I started going here about 2 years ago and they have been incredible from beginning to end. I’m finally done and on my retainer now and miss going to appointments and seeing everybody! The initial consultation was great- educational, informative, and very clear. They’re really flexible with schedules, and Grace is a delight to work with when it came to scheduling/insurance/payments. The entire staff for that matter is so friendly and welcoming, and I actually really enjoyed going to my orthodontist appointments as strange as that sounds! I don’t think I ever had to wait longer than 2 minutes for an appointment. They also recently renovated so the office looks super clean and contemporary. They use the most technologically advanced (and probably really expensive) systems and software for scanning your teeth for the aligners, which means the procedures are quick, painless, and completely accurate. This is SUPER important! They’re pretty active on social media and have giveaways or contests once in a while with prizes. I actually was one of the winners of an Instagram contest last summer and received a $100 amazon gift card!!!! Does YOUR orthodontist do that?! I didn’t think so! Dr. Passamano is very passionate about his practice and his patients. He’s a terrific orthodontist who is really good at what he does. He has a great work ethic, doing his job with a smile, professionalism, and a terrific attitude. I appreciate how much of a perfectionist he was when it came to my teeth, and how he cares about results. Even though my case went on longer than it was supposed to (as all cases are different and my teeth were pretty stubborn), he still did whatever it took to fine tune the last details to make my teeth as perfect as possible. There was so much attention to detail, and he really cares about his patient’s satisfaction. I’ve recommended several of my coworkers to Passamano Orthodontics and I’ll definitely be taking my kids one day when they’re older. I am so confident you will have the same awesome experience as me with braces or invisalign. They’re truly the best of the best!!!!!!!!!

Passamano Orthodontics is top notch! Their customer service outshines any other business! The entire staff is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond! Our family is blessed to have these amazing doctors treating our kids

The Passamanos are the best orthodontics out there! I’m an international student and they were extremely flexible and were able to accommodate my needs, even though I was halfway across the world! I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially college students who are looking for an orthodontist that’s flexible to their schedule. The staff was great at preparing the number of Invisalign trays for the months I would be away and whenever I got back during summer or Christmas break, they always had the next set ready. The staff is also great! They’re all super friendly and amazing what they do! Also, whenever I had a question about the fit or what number Invisalign I was on, they were only one email away. I had no trouble with communicating to any of them and they were all extremely fast at replying. Doctor Passamano is great. He knows exactly what you need, whether it be an extra Invisalign case or brush, and is always on top of what he needs to do. He was always prepared every appointment and made it speedy and efficient. I’m so glad I chose to do Invisalign with this team!

The best place to get Invisalign!! Dr. Passamano, Brittney, Debbie, and the whole staff makes you feel right at home from the moment you enter the office. Dr. Passamano is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and truly cares about his patients. Dr. Passamano ensures you receive accurate results and will do everything to make sure you are happy with your treatment every step of the way. I am very impressed and satisfied with the results from my Invisalign treatment. Thank you for being the best in town!

I have been going to Dr. Passamano for about 8 years now and every time I go in for a checkup I am welcomed like I had never left. The staff at the front desk always remember me and make things run super smoothly. All the other staff is super nice too and work fast. I never have to wait long for any of my appointments! One of the things I like most about Dr. Passamano is that I feel like he really listens to what I have to say. I have been wearing my Invisalign retainers every night for a few years now but recently got a tooth filling that made the retainer very uncomfortable. I told Dr. Passamano about this and he instantly said that he could give me a deal on a wire retainer that wouldn’t be so uncomfortable. Just the ease of this whole interaction goes to show what a world class place Dr. Passamano’s orthodontics is!! Definitely the place to go for all your orthodontic needs=D

I’ve absolutely loved my experience with Passamano. Since day 1 they have gone above and beyond to make sure my teeth looked good after braces and would take into consideration things I wouldn’t be thinking of. Additionally they always made me feel part of the process and they pushed to make sure I wasn’t in braces longer than I needed to be. The staff is super friendly and great at what they do. Highly recommend this office to anyone looking to get ortho work done!

I just finished my Invisalign with Dr. (Robert) Passamano and had the best experience! At age 33, I wanted to re-fix my teeth but I wasn’t willing to undergo the discomfort and appearance of traditional braces for a second time. I couldn’t believe how easy and painless my treatment was. I love that you can’t notice the braces as much as with metal ones. Not only was Dr. Passamano able to perfect my teeth, he also helped with my TMJ and jaw pain and headaches. Dr. Robert pays the same attention to detail on my teeth as I do and was able to fix even the small imperfections only I could see! I’m so glad I went ahead with the treatment and would recommend doing it to anyone who is on the fence! The office is so clean and they even have phone chargers at each station, nice headphones and new flat screen TV’s on the wall. The staff is very friendly and great at appointment reminders. Passamano Orthodontics is THE place to get your smile and bite fixed

My experience with Dr. Passamano was beyond amazing. I began the process with an anti metal braces attitude. Dr. Passamano’s recommended metal braces for me but respected my wishes and I started the Invisalign process. The Invisalign process really fixed my smile. However, I should have listened to their expertise in the beginning. I ended up needing to do metal braces for a couple of months to fix a certain tooth to achieve that smile I wanted. Both Dr. James and Robert Passamano were incredibly friendly and professional. The staff is equally amazing. The front desk ladies, Grace and Daniele are so pleasant and kind. They have the best memory and always remembered my name. This made the process really personal for me. They were very organized and always returned calls in a timely manner. The back office assistants, Debbie and Brittany are awesome. They both were so funny and nice, a pleasure to talk to. I would only recommend Passamano Orthodontics. The whole team treats you like family. Dr. Passamano is very knowledgeable in the orthodontics field and made this an enjoyable experience. For someone who hated their smile so long, I can’t help but smile and show off the beautiful smile I now have. I have the smile I have always wanted because of Passamano Orthodontics.

Fantastic orthodontists here.   Both Dr. James and Dr. Robert are very personal who actually care about my teeth and listen to me.   I couldn’t be happier getting my Invisalign with them.  They said the Invisalign treatment would be 16-20 months and it finished right at the 18 month mark.  I have a friend that is already 1.5 years over the estimated treatment time.  So happy with the Invisalign.  I already send my friends there and highly recommend them!!

I see Dr Robert Passamano for my retainers and he’s amazing! Great bedside manner, funny, and still very professional. I love that they offer a brushing station where they provide toothbrushes and mouth rinse. It’s especially convenient when I’m coming from work and didn’t have time to brush! The office staff is very nice and I spend minimal time waiting. With two kids at home, that’s very much appreciated! Also got some cute glasses for a contest they are having this summer

Dr.’s James and Robert Passamano are the best of the best! They listen to what their clients plan to achieve through their orthodontic treatment and get it done perfectly! Very friendly and professional staff from top to bottom. I highly recommend them for anyone in the Irvine area looking for an orthodontist, especially for Invisalign. Thank you Passamano Orthodontics for your great work!

After, visited 4 different Orthodontist, we picked Passamano Orthodontics. Both, Father & son are so friendly, spent about 45 minutes for first visit. Dr. Passamano explained everything & he gave enough time to make us understand whole process. His price is very reasonable. No waiting time. They are very organized, whole staff are so nice & friendly. They have monthly ruffle tickets for Angels baseball game, thats the fun part. I can feel, they are working so hard for patients satisfaction & not for money.  My son likes them so much! I highly recommend to visit them before you pick your Orthodontist

Final stage of my Invisalign treatment and I just can’t be happier . I really don’t know how I can emphasize more that they are just the best in California . So professional , detail oriented , and caring . In each stage , they carefully listened to my expectations and the result was just exactly what I had in mind .
Thank you again for everything . I can’t be happier .

I broke my jaw 12 years ago in a wake boarding accident and was having jaw pains and headaches. My teeth no longer touched, which made eating very difficult. The first orthodontist I saw suggested he re-break my jaw. No thanks!! My dentist Dr. Chris Liu recommended Dr. Passamano, and thank goodness! This father / son team put me on an aggressive Invisalign plan and after 3 years, my teeth and jaw are all back to normal. I can’t believe it’s been 3 years, and what’s remarkable is that in that time, I NEVER had to wait in the waiting room a single time. Each time I check in, brush my teeth and they see me immediately. They obviously run a tight ship, respect their patients’ busy schedules, and are good people. They’ve also had the same staff the entire time, which indicates that they treat their staff well, too. I highly recommend this practice. My kids will be coming here, too

When someone has provided professional services for over 30 years in the same location and has all 5 STAR reviews, that says it all. Dr. Passamano is exceptional and his practice is exceptional. Sometimes it’s hard to convey just how good someone is in terms of their commitment to their profession, the quality of their work, their rare mixture of professionalism and a welcoming personality, the breadth and depth their experience, the orthodontic assistants and administrative staff they hire, and their use of current technologies.  Dr. Passamano is one of those individuals! Dr. Passamano was the orthodontist for our two daughters in their teens and more recently for both my wife and me. We live in the desert and Grace and Danielle have been wonderful in fitting us in when we are early or late or need to come in for an adjustment. When our grandchildren need braces and if they live anywhere in Southern California, Drs. Passamano will be their orthodontists. All I’ll say about Invisalign is that it is a wonderful technology that works and makes wearing aligners – rather than traditional braces – almost fun and easy to wear around others as they are almost invisible.  Drs. Passamano, James and his son Robert, are one of the top Invisalign providers in North America, which means they have achieved superior results

I came here for orthodontic treatment in  Nov 2012 and just finished treatment this week.  This practice is truly commendable for the way they run their business.  The staff – doctors,  dental assistants and receptionists are all very pleasant,  polite , courteous and efficient . They are very friendly with all their patients . They schedule their appointments well so there is no need to wait in the lobby . I  hit a few roadblocks during my treatment and Dr. Passamano was very supportive in addressing concerns and finding alternatives to get a good result. They take a lot of pride in their work.  I strongly recommend this dental practice to all looking for orthodontic treatment

As an adult with invisalign, I had an excellent experience with Dr. Passamano and his staff. Appointments are always on time. This is important for someone who must coordinate orthodontist appointments with school responsibilities. Dr. Passamano keept me informed of the status of my progress. I have recommended him to my friends as I am very satisfied with the results

Our experience with Dr. Passamano office is beyond amazing. Front and back office team are very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Office setting is very welcoming. Nicely remodeling office with up-to-date technologies. The office is spanking clean and organized. Of course the father and son team Dr. James and Robert Passamano are excellent with kids. They start the journey with a detailed thorough consultation for new patients about options, risk and benefits. They answer all the questions and evaluate the plan as they go to be sure that the plan are on track. They don’t push patients in making decisions. They take their time to answer all questions without rushing. Front office staff Grace is super helpful, knowledgeable about insurance and very patient with all the questions. Back office Debbie and Brittany are skillful and great at what they do. The whole team treat patients like family. Dr Passamano always engage patients in conversation and making the experience less stressful. Highly recommended!

Where do I begin! My experience with Dr. Passamano was beyond amazing.. He is truly gifted, talented and knowledgeable! I couldn’t believe how straight and beautiful my teeth are looking after 1 year and a half of Invisalign. I now love smiling with confidence. The staff and just lovely and friendly! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Passamano

Without a doubt – FIVE STARS for Passamano Orthodonitcs! When it came to my third child it was time to find a new orthodontist. A friend recommended Passamano orthodontics and then I found many of my son’s friends were also seeing them! From our very first visit we knew we had found the right professionals to take care of my son’s teeth. Dr. James Passamano patiently explained the process to us so my son and I had a clear picture of how Invisalign would work best for my son’s teeth as he has two baby teeth with no adult teeth following through. Thanks to Dr Robert Passamano, two years on the treatment is over and my son has lovely teeth and the space necessary for the eventual implants. Drs James and Robert Passamano are caring, skilled professionals who made it an easy and pleasant experience for my son. They, along with their team, work efficiently, effectively and are very warm and welcoming.  Grace, in the front office, was also a big factor in our positive experience as she was always helpful and ready with advice and assistance on any matter we might bring up with regard to treatment, appointments, and payments. Oh and there is an easy check-in and my son was promptly seen by Dr Passamano on every visit! I have no hesitation in recommending the Passamano orthodontist – you can be confident your smile and health are in good hands.

My daughter just got her braces off and we couldn’t be happier with the results. My son also goes there but he’s got a little longer. Obviously the finished product is great but the best part about the whole experience was the staff and doctors. They couldn’t have been nicer. They always greet you with a smile and some friendly words. I will miss the people. Thanks everyone

I had a GREAT experience at Passamano Orthodontics. I had liners (not Invisalign, but similar) at another orthodontist that weren’t working, so I came here after being referred by my dentist and going to a few consultations at different offices. This one was the CLEAR choice – great office staff and employees, the orthodontists are amazing, VERY friendly and knowledgeable, and my teeth are now PERFECT. I have permanent retainers and a set of liners to wear at night, but I could not be happier with my results. I have and will continue to refer friends and family to Passamano Orthodontics. Thank you!

We are lucky to have Passamano Orthodontics. They are professional, capable, punctual, friendly and honest. They are the ones who found out we had extra benefits and refunded me. They are the ones who left their thanksgiving dinner table to come to office just to resolve my daughter’s complaints. They referred us to a great surgeon so that my daughter did not have problems even with multiple extractions. From front desk to dentists, they alway make us feel comfortable and confident. If I can give hundred stars I would

I took my twin boys to Dr.  Passamanos office almost 2 yrs ago.  I can’t tell you enough about their quality of work,  professionalism and the amazing office staff. So much so that the twins felt comfortable to go by themselves for appointments after school.  They were treated so nicely.  One of my boys was in football and every two weeks he had a broken wire or a loose bracket.  Every time the office worked him in and fixed his braces without making him feel bad.  In fact,  I trusted them so much that I hardly went to any appointments. Today my other son’s braces came off and his teeth look gorgeous. Thank you Dr.  Passamano Jr & Sr for the amazing service.  I just can’t say enough about this office. What a great experience!!

Final update. I’m scheduled to get my braces/invisalign off in a couple of days. As far as my experience of having work done here goes, it’s been pretty fantastic. My teeth look great. I always felt welcomed between the front desk staff to the ones in the back. I never felt like a number, and most importantly, when I felt I needed to be heard, they listened. One more thing, as far as appointments go, they’re really great about it. They don’t overbook. So you never have to wait long like I typically experience at other medical/dental offices. If you’re shopping around for an ortho, I highly recommend this place

Wow … I love having two Dr. Passamano’s work on my teeth.  I can’t believe the quality of care here.  Both Docs actually spend a lot of time analyzing and talking to me about my progress and goals. I’m so glad I chose an orthodontist for my Invisalign instead of a dentist.  My friend has Invisalign through his dentist and our experiences are completely different. And my teeth look excellent.  I need to change my profile photo now because my teeth look WAY BETTER than before.   Highly Recommend

Our experience with Dr. Passamano office is beyond amazing.  Front and back office team are very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Office setting is very welcoming.  Nicely remodeling office with up-to-date technologies.  The office is spanking clean and organized.  Of course the father and son team Dr. James and Robert Passamano are excellent with kids.  They start the journey with a detailed thorough consultation for new patients about options, risk and benefits.  They answer all the questions  and evaluate the plan as they go to be sure that the plan are on track.  They don’t push patients in making decisions.  They take their time to answer all questions without rushing.  Front office staff Grace is super helpful, knowledgeable about insurance and very patient with all the questions.  Back office Debbie and Brittany are skillful and great at what they do.   The whole team treat patients like family.  Dr Passamano always engage patients in conversation and making the experience less stressful.  Highly recommended!

The staff here are extremely professional and caring. Dr. Passamano goes out of his way to ensure that you’re happy with your results. I signed up for invisalign through a referral from my regular dentist and Dr. Passamano gave me a thorough consultation and gave me choices on how I should proceed with my care. At the time I was going through several procedures involving a few different dental specialists involving a crack root, and root canal, and implant and he suggested different options on how we could proceed. He never rushed me in any way, was not pushy and genuinely cared about how to best save me time and money. He worked with my regular dentist, and specialists and consulted with them and even offered suggestions on how I could save money through all of the procedures. This kind of care is rare in todays world of trying to make a fast buck as though you were just a transaction. I felt Dr. Passamano and his son, Dr. Passamano, cared for me as a patient and a person under their care and looked out for me and my pocketbook as well. The front office and back office are all exceptional. The Dr. patient relationship is still alive at this office and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Excellent attention to detail, patient, knowledgeable,friendly, and unquestionable outstanding people.  This applies to both Dr.’s Passamano and their wonderful staff.  I just completed 1.5 years of Invisalign, which was required since at age 50, my upper teeth were touching my bottom teeth and causing the enamel to wear away.  I was not thrilled at the prospect of braces, but am thrilled with the results.  In fact, I am so pleased that my daughter will be the next person who gets braces.  She has already had her consultation and felt very comfortable with the practice and the process.  Do not hesitate to become a patient of Passamano Orthodontics.  I highly recommend them

I was having  a lot of popping and a TMJ problem that was causing bad headaches and tightness of the jaw when I went to brush teeth in the morning. This was at the time I was already considering a treatment to realign my bottom teeth that over time had shifted after wisdom teeth were pulled. My long time dentist Dr. Rodger K. Uchizono recommended his buddies The Passamano’s down the road in Irvine. Like my dentist this father and son team- Dr. James and Robert Passamano are AMAZING professionals, PATIENT and VERY PERSONABLE!! With an aggressive Invisalign treatment the TMJ problem was corrected within a year and within three years I can now say I have beautiful & perfectly straight teeth again!! My treatment took  bit longer than planned because of a job relocation and (I admit) my perfectionist ways. BUT IT WAS WORTH IT- they were so nice to work with me and loaded me up with extra packets between trips. Dr. Robert was happy to work on the fine-tuning of my teeth until I was satisfied. In general, they work with you persistently and patiently until you are happy and they are pleased with the work that they did. So YES! I would have traveled any distance to see them and their staff. They are Elite Preferred Invisalign Providers with the Invisalign Teeth Scanner iOC Digital Impressions, their office and equipment are immaculate and the staff…I can’t say enough about them (I don’t want to single out anyone) they are all special! All so nice, patient and lovely and I will miss the fun chats we had every time I came in. BTW- my dentist said my teeth never looked more perfect! Pure love and respect to Passamano Orthodontics ! I highly recommend them and I will continue to sing their praises to others.

Both my daughters, ages 14 and 10, are patients of Passamano Orthodontics. When you choose Drs. Robert and James, you become part of their family! My oldest had some complications after her wisdom teeth were extracted, and Dr. Robert answered my email and sent me her panoramic x-rays on his day off. They go the extra mile for their patients. I have referred 2 of my neighbors to them, and after consults with other orthodontists, they both chose Passamano Orthodontics. Grace, Brittany, and Debbie always greet my girls with big smiles. Great family practice!

I highly recommend the Passamano team for their professionalism, terrific bedside manner, and flexibility. I moved out of town during my Invisalighn treatment and when I was able to come back to town, Grace always made sure I was able to see the team, even on their day off! That is incredible customer service.  My teeth also look fantastic and the credit is theirs. Thank you Passamano Orthodontics for helping my smile look its best!!

I am 110% satisfied with Passamano Orthodontics! I enjoy my visits because of the extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly staff. From the front desk, to technicians, to the doctors. They’re genuinely in invested on a medical and personal level. The doctors are meticulous on their work. Bonus; their prices of services are competitive to others
