PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Eshani and his team are AMAZING. My teeth are moving really fast, they get you in and out for appointments and the facilities are great. I’m a surgical case and I cannot wait to see how my teeth turn out! I love the whole staff, but Chris is extra amazing! UPDATE: I’m all done and couldn’t be happier. It was truly a pleasure working with them the last couple years! I was a surgical case and am so glad everything is over! No more #adultbraces!

I am so very pleased with the care and treatment of Dr Ehsani and his team. A-1 care! Dr. Ehsani helped relieve my TMJ that tormented me for years. I was going to need surgery according to other doctors, but Dr. Ehsani used technology and skill to correct my issue and prevent surgery. Hats off to Dr. Ehsani and his team. The facility was always clean, I felt no prejudice or partiality. Most everyone is very friendly but, all were accommodating.

I have had such a wonderful experience with Elite Orthodontics! Dr. Ehsani and the entire staff are BEYOND wonderful and so nice! I was referred to Dr. Ehsani from my dentist and wasn’t pleased knowing I needed braces AGAIN as an adult. But Dr. Ehsani was excellent in explaining the ‘why’ and how to maintain the exceptional results I received to ensure I don’t regress again. A big thanks to Dr. Ehsani and his phenomenal staff:)

I have nothing but an amazing experience with Dr. Ehsani and his team. Appointments were quick, I never had to wait (like at every other dr office), and the staff made it a fun appointment every time. The receptionists were always friendly and accommodating when I needed to get in for an unscheduled fix. Dr. Ehsani and all of the technicians were always kind and genuinely seemed to care about me and my progress. Chris, particularly made every appointment a good time, was efficient and remembered the weird quirks of my braces and made sure to address them each time. Overall, I am so happy with the work and customer service of this entire process!

Dr. Ehsani is a miracle worker.  Our journey with San Marcos Orthodontics began several years ago.  My little boy had a “class 3 underbite,” which meant that when he bit down, his upper jaw was positioned significantly behind his lower jaw.  Further, because his upper jaw was so small, it could not accommodate the number of adult teeth that still needed to descend.  Our pediatric dentist and other orthodontists had advised us that our son would need to have teeth extracted to accommodate incoming teeth.  Dr. Ehsani was the only orthodontist who adamantly emphasized that he would not remove any teeth and would “make it work”–no extractions.  He said, “Why would you make his upper jaw even smaller by removing teeth; this makes no sense.  We will expand the upper jaw in both directions to accommodate the teeth and align the upper and lower jaws together.”  True to his word, all of my son’s teeth came in beautifully, and my boy has a MAGNIFICENT, well-aligned smile.  His braces should be coming off before his thirteenth birthday, and Dr. Ehsani will implement a fixed retainer behind his teeth in order to maintain our hard work.  It has been quite the journey, but Dr. Ehsani is exceptionally knowledgeable and has been consistently patient in answering my plethora of questions.  Also, the staff is amazing.  Sandy, the patient care manager, is friendly and organized.  I highly recommend San Marcos Orthodontics to those who seek outstanding orthodontic care.

Dr. Ehsani and his team were FANTASTIC!! From my initial consultation to today when i had my braces removed, the team was amazing. Any time i needed anything during my treatment they were there for me. The staff is friendly and their work is efficient! Chris is amazing!! My treatment plan was originally scheduled for 24 months and i had them removed after 22 months. Their excitement for me was so comforting. I never once felt like i couldn’t reach out with any questions during this process. As a local San Diego Actor, I can confidently looking forward to performing with my new SMILE! Thank you so much everyone!! I’d definitely recommend Elite Orthodontics to ANYONE

Dr. Ehsani and his team are amazing! Today was the day I have my braces taken off. Sadly, now I won’t have a reason to come back. Special thanks to the assistant Chris! Took very good care of me and my needs and questions every time. A plus for me is that dr recommended Damon Braces and glad I made the right choice. I was always in and out took about 5-30mins. Not only that thanks to the front desk receptionists, they always do a good job of scheduling your appointments where it never have interfere with my work schedule. I remember 2 year ago I was looking at this orthodontist office because it was so close to home and I look up the rating of this office, now I truly know why it is so high! They really take care of you. If you don’t feel happy about your teeth just let Dr know and he will listen and make you happy. He know best! I definitely recommend this place or check it out. You will be happy you did.

We love this office! We started out with a consultation and to my surprise they didn’t want to start braces right away. We returned 8 months later (when some teeth finally came in) and started braces then. The front desk is very welcoming and really friendly. Dr. Ehsani is great and well as everyone who has worked on my son thus far. He feels comfortable there and that’s what matters most. I highly recommend Elite Orthodontics and have suggested them to several people. Thanks for being great!

When I first started my treatment with braces, it was not the best experience. I didn’t see any improvements in over a year and felt like there was no progress. As soon as I moved to California, I searched online and liked the reviews I saw on Elite Orthodontics where I finished my treatment started in Chicago. When I went in for a consultation, I felt welcomed! I loved it so much I started the process the same day! The place is kept clean and the staff is all very sweet! From the front desk staff to the backroom, everyone is very friendly and take great care of you. I finally got my braces removed and I am just astonished and happy with the results. I can’t recommend this place enough! Definitely a place I would recommend to family and friends when needed! Thank you to Elite Orthodontics for the life changing results!

I had such a positive experience with Elite Orthodontics! Everyone who works there is so nice and attentive to patients. The staff here also care about their patients- they remember things you talked about with them during your last appointment, which really made me feel welcomed and comfortable every time I came to an apportionment. I saw great results after getting my braces removed, and the staff here made the experience of having braces as positive as it could be. I highly recommend coming to this office!

My family has been going to Elite Orthodontist for the past six years, and on behalf of all of us, I can honestly say that it is a fantastic practice. There’s plenty of parking space available, and it’s in a pretty central location. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, so it’s always a joy to be there. Dr. Ehsani is very meticulous about the braces coming off at the right time, and never prematurely. Plus, it’s hard not to love Chris. So friendly and sympatico. We will miss you guys at the end of our orthodontia journey.

Words can’t express feelings and experience with Dr.Ehsani and his staff, Dr.Ehsani is a very knowledgable and well-versed orthodontist. Dr.Ehsani And his staff is extremely friendly, warm and punctual. Although I have a very complicated dental situation, Dr.Ehsani makes the solutions very easy through an extremely precise treatment plan. Also, I was able to notice the progression very fast. I highly recommend Dr.Ehsani and his staff to anyone looking for a good and nice orthodontic treatment results.

I first met Dr. Ehsani at Verizon store, completely unplanned. We got to talking, and we realized, shortly thereafter, that a current co-worker of mine was going through Elite for treatment. I had always wanted to straighten my teeth and close some unwanted gaps (I’d never had braces or any other form of orthodontia in the past), so it almost seemed like a sign. After talking to my colleague and hearing her rave reviews, I set up a consultation. I should mention that I was engaged at the time and was *really* hoping to see some results before my wedding, which was roughly six months away at the time (and I did!). Dr. Ehsani and staff were so incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and patient throughout the consultation. After they explained my options and their subsequent recommendations, I decided to go with Invisalign. It may also be worth noting that I work in the orthodontic appliance industry, so I consider myself somewhat well-versed in the different treatment options, appliances, etc. Never once did I feel like Dr. Ehsani or his staff were trying to “sell” me on something that would benefit them from a purely monetary standpoint. I truly believe, based on their assessment and explanation, that their direction and advice came from a place of wanting the best outcome for me as a patient, and that means a lot. Fast forward 19 months, and I’ve just completed my treatment as of today. Not only am I so thrilled with my new smile, but I couldn’t be happier with the professional service I received – from the chair-side staff, to the receptionists and of course Dr. Ehsani. Everyone in the office made my treatment enjoyable and easy. Well worth the investment. If you’re looking for a friendly, educated and professional team to handle your orthodontic needs, I would highly recommend Dr. Ehsani and the rest of the staff at Elite Orthodontics.

I’ve been getting my teeth straightened for the past year and a half at Elite Orthodontics. I found them off of yelp and having no prior experience with Orthodontists, I decided to get a consultation. Though I have no other experience to compare them to, my treatment has been great! I even moved to San Francisco and they been very accommodating working around constraints of flying back in to get the final bits of treatment. I would highly recommend them.

I have worked with three different orthodontists, elite Orthodontics being the third, and they were the very BESt!!!!!! They went above and beyond with their customer service and efficiency being able to help me during the cvoid crises. They really cared bout helping me get my new retainers as quick as possible after telling them I was a bit panicked about my teeth moving. Not only have they been hero’s during the virus, but they gave me my molds!!!!!! My last two ortho’s didn’t so you would have to spend more money if you lost them. Since Invisalign is clear and can be very easy to loose or break that can happen very easily. But now because of elite Orthodontics, if I loose my retainers I don’t have to worry about my teeth moving while not wearing them bc I can just give them the mold!!! Which will save me time and money!!!!! If you are looking for an ortho for the first time or you need a new one, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HUGHLY recommend Elite Orthodontics. THANK YOU ELITE ORTHODONTICS!!!  10/10

I rarely write reviews; however, my experience with Elite Orthodontics and Dr. Ehsani was nothing short of amazing. Dr Ehsani and his staff were there for me every step of the way assuring me that everything will be ok. I was terrified to start the treatment as I had a severe cross bite that needed surgery to correct. The whole treatment took about a year and a half, and Elite Orthodontics made it as easy as possible with prompt appointments, fast adjustments and answers to every single question I had. I was speechless when I saw the end result. I looked like a completely different person. Some people won’t even recognize me on the street. Words cannot describe how grateful I am to Dr Nader Ehsani and his whole team. Even though I am glad to be done with my treatment I do miss those conversations I would have during my adjustments. I especially miss the amazing conversations I had with Chris.

Best experience I’ve ever had! My treatment felt super fast but after the day came  to have them taken off time stood still! after seeing myself without braces & straight for the first time was very exciting & overwhelming!! I would definitely recommend them out. Dr. Ehsani is phenomenal & the staff is awesome, especially Chis Montano always making my visits worthwhile. Super grateful to have found this orthodontists. Thank you all for the the amazing journey  forever greatful

Definitely will continue to recommend. The entire staff is extremely friendly and helpful all the time. Dr. Ehsani was the only orthodontist out of all the ones I have seen who did not want to just pull all my teeth to make room, which from the beginning made me happy. He is very precise with his work and at every appointment made sure everything was perfect with my braces. I’ve always felt like he was taking his time to make my teeth perfect and not just rushing which is great. They have always been super helpful with poking wires and the few times I accidentally broke a bracket. A couple days ago was the day I had been waiting for and it was definitely worth the wait! I absolutely love the way my teeth, smile came out. I’ve never really been someone to smile with my teeth showing but now I can’t stop smiling. I also love the fact that he has you come in after they are off for check ups to make sure everything is good and not just forget about you once you’re done. I couldn’t be more happy with the results.

Go to Elite Ortho! I have been in the dental field for 20 years and I finally felt happy to start my treatment here. I’ve had multiple ortho consults over the past two years and from the first visit here I felt so comfortable with the entire process. From the modern facility to the personal touch treatment to the clinical breakdown, Dr. Ehsani, Dr. Sabet, Alicia and Lauren made me feel completely confident and actually excited to start this journey. Thank you Elite Orthodontics!

I came to Elite Orthodontics after so many months of various consultations & endless research for a place that I felt I could trust & would give me the results that I wanted. After my consultation with them they placed the braces on that same week! It honestly felt very surreal how fast they got the wheels turning because every other office I had gone to would tell me it’d be a while before they could get my braces on. Elite understood the importance & the urgency that I felt to get me the smile I’ve always wanted. They value the time of their patients & prioritize them too! The biggest factor for me choosing Elite was that Dr.Ehsani showed up to my consultation, introduced himself & answered every question I had. In every other office I had stepped into the main Doctor would never be around, so all my questions or concerns would always be answered through a middle man. Most of my smile journey I was helped by both Chris & Kristina. Both of which always made it fun for me! It was never a boring visit where I just sat there while they tightened my braces. My overall experience was amazing to say the least! Oh & I finished a lot sooner than the expected time so that alone was such an incredible surprise!! So if you’re reading this LONG review & made it this far this is your sign. QUIT SEARCHING! This is the place to be!

I posted a review a few months ago .I finished my treatment and may be my experience will help others with the same problem.I had impacted upper canines and I am really glad Dr.Ehsani  and his team could help me with my treatment .I am really happy with a result .I am posting pictures before and after .Can’t say it was easy .It was painful .Anybody who has this problem has to be patient ,and follow all the instructions.My treatment lasted 2 years,I had 2 small surgeries.My smile is amazing now and it worth all the pain I went through .I am really thankful for all your hard work.Doctor Ehsani is very detail oriented person and perfectionist .He won’t let you go until you won’t get your perfect smile.Thank you .

San Marcos Orthodontics is by far one of the favorite places to be when you get your braces !!! Dr. Ehsani along with the rest of the nurses/employees are very very friendly, i honestly feel at home when i go there. I love how flexible they are when i can’t make it to an appointment. They are very understanding and that is what i look for in a place where I am spending money. I’ve gone to other orthodontics (western dental) LOL, and i had the worst experience ever. Until someone recommended me to change and then j I decided to change ! I do not regret it at all! I love the staff and everyone who has been in my braces process. I will definitely recommend all of my friends and family to come if they ever need any braces lol!

I had a wonderful experience here! I came in initially because I needed a new retainer due to an incident with my new puppy :/ They had the cheapest price for a replacement. They were able to get me in quickly. The staff was very friendly and competent. The Dr. was amazing. I decided while I was there to get my bottom permanent retainer re-bonded along with some other things, and he was able to do it right then and there. I didn’t have to come back which was amazing! The retainer I got was a bit on the flimsy side and didn’t quite fit well, so the doctor upgraded me with no charge. It truly was a pleasurable experience start to finish, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an orthodontist!

Dr. Ehsani’s office is located on the third floor of cordinal dr building. The parking was never a problem for me although there is constantly many customers. I have never experienced any trouble getting an appointment. In case of emergency (if your bracket falls off or if the wire is pocking into your gums) they will always find space to schedule you as soon as possible. And thats what is really important. Their staff is super sweet and understanding in case you are late for about ten minutes (never was late more than that). In the beginning for the consultation Dr Ehsani was very straightforward and had mentioned he was a perfectionist and to my surprise he definitely was. Not until my teeth were aligned perfectly and all the gaps were closed he did not want to take off my braces and neither did I. I rather wait for the best results than just take it off. I had my braces for about 2 years and 5 months. Loved my results. Chris was always sweet, always asking how everything was and so were the rest of the staff. Some days it might feel rushed but that is why come prepared with questions if you have any. All in all best experience, thank you Dr Ehsani and all the staff!

I’ve had a great experience with Dr. Eshani and his team. I have been undergoing Invisalign treatment and am very close to completion. Dr. Eshani’s team is one of the friendliest you could ever meet and show concern about how you’re doing in general apart from the procedures. They are also more than willing to work with your schedule and you’ll have little to no wait time when you arrive for appointments. As far as the treatment itself goes, I was given a range of options on the onset of mine. I was impressed with how they are equipped for the latest and a variety of methods to correct your teeth. Throughout my treatment, they’ve given me a clear picture of exactly what was being done at every stage, and they strive for nothing less than perfection. I am extremely pleased with my results and glad I chose to go with them.

The efficiency of this doctor’s office is top-notch. I’ve never had to wait more than 5 minutes past my appointment time to be seen. My one small complaint would be that the receptionists aren’t very friendly (sometimes won’t even greet you at all), but the rest of the staff is GREAT, they treat you with a lot of care and seem to really enjoy their jobs. I’ve had my braces on for about 8 months now and I love the results I’m seeing so far. Dr. Eshani seems to have really high standards for his practice and that’s what I think sets him apart from other orthodontists and why I knew I wanted to put my smile in his hands.

I went to several consultations before making my choice and I couldn’t be happier with the treatment I received from Dr. Ehsani and his staff.  During the free consultation he let me know exactly what to expect.  Now, I didn’t pick Dr. Ehsani because he had the most affordable plan but that was a great bonus!! He has a beautiful office; it’s always clean and the chairs are so comfy you just want to take a nap in them.  I’m a working gal and appreciate that the office is right off the freeway and that my appointments never take very long – they consistently stick to the schedule.  Also there is a dentist office  next door so cleanings are easy to coordinate.  I would definitely recommend Dr. Ehsani to my friends and family.

I am so happy that I chose Elite Orthodontics for my orthodontic treatment! I just got my braces off last week and am very pleased with my results. Dr. Ehsani and his staff are top notch. I was always very impressed with their professionalism, efficiency, and positive and friendly attitudes! Dr. Ehsani really knows his stuff and I always felt like I was in very good hands. He completed my treatment within the time estimated and agreed-upon price. I shopped around before I ended up at Elite and I know I made the right decision. They made the whole experience as painless and hassle-free as it possibly could be. Elite definitely lives up to its name! I am almost sorry I won’t have any more appointments- ALMOST!

There is a reason why Elite Orthodontics has a five star rating. Dr. Ehsani and his staff deliver the best results with the highest quality of customer service. Throughout my one and a half year treatment, I have never encountered an issue. The office is very clean and welcoming. Dr. Ehsani is a perfectionist, which means you won’t be leaving without a wonderful smile. The price may be a little steep to some people; however, I believe it’s worth the investment. Your smile is a part of your profile and it’s one of the first thing everyone looks at.

2 years, one pandemic and 10 months later and I finally got my braces off! I’m SO happy with my results and it was definitely worth the wait. Dr. Ehsani and his staff listened to any of my concerns or questions along the way and truly heard me when I said that I didn’t want my braces off until they were perfect. Chris was also the best! Super speedy, efficient and transparent with all procedures. He makes the visit fun and I’m sad I won’t see him as often. He’s a real gem! The gal that took my braces off today was also incredibly gentle and patient and the doctor even said that he gave her an A+ on the permanent retainer she added today. Really impressed with the whole office. I once heard that they all went to Disneyland together as a work trip (precovid) which made me feel like they have good company culture too which probably helps with customer service. Thanks for everything!!!! I’ll miss you guys.

I had such an incredible experience here and absolutely adore the employees! I loved it so much that even after moving 6 hours up north I still commuted back to San Diego for treatment at Elite Orthodontics. They were always really flexible with my schedule and never left any questions I had unanswered. I’m so happy with my results and will miss the employees dearly!

I was skeptical of getting braces at my age since I didn’t think there were any alternatives from metal braces. Upon consultation, Dr. Ehsani told me that we could go with the Clarity Advanced braces which are more aesthetically pleasing while still having the ability to get the job done! I’ve already noticed so much improvement since getting my braces which, by the way, has not been very long at all! Dr. Ehsani is a magician and his staff is amazing. With having braces, you have to expect wires that eventually start to poke or broken brackets every now and then, but the front office staff are always accommodating with getting me in asap. I tell them what time works for me and they get me scheduled in. The ladies in the front are always stirring up conversation when I come in for my appointments while maintaining professionalism. I love how they remember the things we’ve talked about before although it’s been quite some time! The office is very neat and clean. The back office staff are quick, gentle and friendly. I always look forward to coming in to my appointments because it’s just like hanging out with my friends. The wait to get called to the back after I check in is never long at all, usually just a minute or so and my regular appointments never go over 30 minutes and before I leave, they always make sure I have everything that I need. I’ve been recommending Dr. Ehsani to anyone who is even thinking about getting braces or Invisalign because my experience has been nothing but phenomenal. I will continue to update my reviews during the duration of my treatment. I can’t wait until I get the perfect final result!

You deserve MORE than a 5-star rating!!! My daughter had her braces done a few years ago and I had mine in 2016. We are HAPPY with the results! Everyone has been great! I initially thought those 2 years would be very difficult, having to wear braces for that long! But it went smoothly and fast! My teeth are straight now and i love it. Chris has been especially very helpful with all my questions! Dr. Ehsani is fantastic! Thank you for giving us a beautiful smile!

I’m an 18 year old patient of Dr. Ehsani’s, and he has completed both my braces before high school graduation and my younger brother’s before he started high school. Before choosing Dr. Ehsani, my family and I met with highly qualified orthodontists in Escondido, Carlsbad, and San Diego. Dr. Ehsani’s expertise and pricing could not be beaten. I have a very large asymmetrical bottom jaw, and the several orthodontists I previously met explained to me that aligning my teeth was going to require headgear and years of braces, which would then give me an underbite that required jaw surgery (thousand of dollars and a one year recovery). Dr. Ehsani told me that he does jaw surgery and that that treatment was ridiculous. He gave me the classic smile I was looking for with braces alone. My top brakes were clear ceramic, which I highly recommend–faster than the “wonderful Invisalign” and not noticeable at all. I’ll be honest that the strip mall area and the few interns? aren’t spectacular, but the people in charge really are. Dr. Ehsani is personable, knowledgable, and made what I wanted with my teeth happen. The front office staff are very friendly and knowledgable themselves, and Linda especially knows her patients by name and makes sure they are taken care of–she is a fantastic human being. These people made what I was told was an impossible job by other orthodontists a quick and pleasing five star experience. As far as I’m concerned, that’s what having braces should be like. Love this place!
