PATIENT REVIEWS

We love Dr. Sayed and his awesome team.  They are super friendly and helpful. Shawn up front is rad, Really great helpful guy.  Dr. Sayed and staff always make us feel right at home.  They have a game room for the kiddos while they wait or for siblings, my kids love coming to the office to play Super Mario bros! All 4 of my kids had major problem teeth and their smiles are looking gorgeous! No more snagle teeth here!!! We HIGHLY recommend!!

We just wanted to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to Dr. Sayed and his Staff at Dr. Sayed Orthodontics. I am a General Dentist within the area and have taken my son there for his treatment. He completed his treatment this month and I can’t express enough how caring and efficient they have been during his entire treatment journey. Definitely recommend his office to all patients, friends, and family! The entire staff is amazing, treating everyone with kindness and being super professional. I do want to point out that Shawn did go above and beyond by exceeding my expectations of his professionalism. — Dr. Niktash

I finally got braces in my 50s after considering it for many years. The work was completed after 13 months, and I am extremely happy with the results. My teeth are perfect! Dr. Sayed is very kind and professional. His staff is awesome, from Sean at the front desk to all of his assistants who worked with me monthly, and then to weekly, to get my teeth exactly right. Highly recommended. Thanks!

My 7 year old son’s mouth showed signs of being too narrow as soon as the first front teeth came out. I am amazed by the difference in just 3 months of wearing his retainers. Mark Sayed explained very clearly the plan and the benefits of being proactive. Even if my son might have to wear braces (if he has to but may be not) it won’t be as drastic as if we hadn’t done anything. I am very hopeful that his teeth will find soon room to come out. One huge benefit already that Mark Sayed had told me about: no more snoring or difficult breathing at night, that is absolutely amazing. I was so worried about his recurring snoring, it is simply gone in two months. In dental care, being proactive is key. Don’t wait until your kids have a mess in their mouth to fix. Very friendly staff.

My daughter is extremely sensitive and we were quite concerned that she would really struggle with braces. Dr Sayed recommended the 2 stage approach and I’m delighted to say that she has beautiful straight teeth now. Dr Sayed and his team were kind, patient and encouraging and I would totally recommend them. Thank you all xxxx

Hi I just wanted to let parents know that Mark Sayed DDM has done an amazing job with my first two kids teeth, they are now 18 and 15 and because of Dr. Sayed they have beautiful smiles. My little one is 8 and she is not quite ready to begin orthodontics however Dr. Sayed schedules appointments with her every 6 months just check in to see how her teeth are coming in. What I like best about his practice is that he doesn’t try to sell me on stuff we don’t need. He’s very honest. He keeps up with technology and new findings and is always educating me on the latest in orthodontics. Another thing that I really love about his practice is his staff. The front staff is always very nice, always calls to confirm appointments and I never feel like an interruption. The dental assistants are always patient with the kids and go over an above. On one particular occasion his nurse met us at the office on her day off as she was headed off to an Angel baseball game because my son broke a bracket and was in a lot of pain. Before finding Dr. Sayed 11 years ago, I met with several orthodontists and I chose him because I believed in his methodology and he was highly recommended by my dentist, Dr. Wallace Thune.

Dr. Sayed and his staff are incredibly competent and professional in every manner. The doctor has great integrity and treated us very fairely and kindly. They are always there to take care of our needs. They make you feel like you are the most important person in the room each and every visit. Dr. Sayed uses nothing but the latest and best equipment to treat his patients. The patient always comes first in his practice. His office is always well maintained and organized in a very relaxed environment. They make a game room for the kids to play in while they wait. If you want the best orthodontic care, you definitely want to seek out Dr. Sayed’s services. I have recommended three other people and they would say the same thing.

I couldn’t be happier with our experience at Dr. Sayed’s office. Both my son and daughter have been patients. My son had a very typical case and was easily treated but my daughter has needed more attention. She used a device to bring her lower jaw forward. I’ve learned that this is something she would have had to have surgery for later down the road had it not been attended to by Dr. Sayed. He then has put braces on her and she is just about done. With both my kids I have had great service by the office staff, easy appointment scheduling, kind people working with my kids, and beautiful smiles. The world of orthodontics can be a bit scary to parents but at Dr. Sayed’s it has been a breeze. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an orthodontist. Juli R. Laguna Niguel, CA

My sons have both had the pleasure of having Dr.Sayed for their orthodontist. Not only is he and his staff very professional but they also are very friendly making every patient comfortable and assured they are in the best of care. We have been patients of Dr. Sayed for over 8 years and would recommend anyone who is looking for a great SMILE to contact Dr.Sayed.

Great Orthodontist! I am a general dentist and not only do I refer my patients to Dr. Sayed, my family and friends go there too. He and his staff are well trained, professional, and all ’round nice people. Upon your arrival to the office your greeted like long time friends. Shawn, the office manager who’s been there for years, has a professional, polite and friendly disposition. The back office staff is caring and deliver orthodontic treatment with a gentle touch. Dr. Sayed is not happy unless his patients are happy. Everything is explained prior to treatment and all questions are answered. The office decor is chic, modern and clean. To go to any other orthodontist would be accepting second best. Jeffrey M. Jacobson DMD

All of my 3 kids have had orthodontics from Dr. Sayed; myself included!! We have had a great experience with their staff and the care that we have received. Some early treatment was required for my son, but not my two daughters (they skipped directly to phase 2)-I appreciate the candidness and honesty with what needed to be done and did not feel there was treatment that was at too early of an age. My 14 year old daughter recently got her braces off and won “Best Smile” for the 8th grade at Shorecliffs middle school for her class.

We received a referral from a friend and we are so glad we chose Dr. Sayed for our daughter’s treatment above others! His staff has been kind, his office very clean and modern, and his expertise and treatment has been top notch. Our younger son will be next.

I’m so impressed with Dr. Sayed’s passion for orthodontics and his strong desire to educate and help his patients and the community. He just finished helping several local elementary schools by sponsoring their Science Camp Experience and sharing how orthodontists are scientists. He also helped sponsor 95 San Juan Capsitrano 4th graders visit the Ocean institute. I admire his philosophy of giving back to the community that has supported him for over 16 years. CBD

After having completed my adult orthodontic treatment with Dr. Sayed, I took my son to him for braces. He started out with the jaw widener, then braces for 2 years and has been in his invisalign type retainer for about 6 months. His teeth and smile look fantastic, as do mine! Dr. Sayed is the best and we couldn’t have gotten better results! The process was painless, pleasurable  and most of all rewarding! I thank Dr. Sayed for his wonderful work and would whole-heartedly recommend him to anyone looking for the very best orthodontist!

Absolutely amazing orthodontist! Magnificent staff and great office. I have been bringing all five children  to Dr. Sayed for over 8 years. He did such a great job with my first sons teeth that I make the drive from Irvine to bring all the rest. His prices are quite comparable to other orthodontists. Dr. Sayed’s work is hands down the best. His attention to detail is great. You will not be disappointed with the results. AMAZING

Dr Sayed has been treating our family for the past 5 years. My oldest daughter had her braces removed last year and has a beautiful smile! My youngest daughter started her braces treatment in February and within one week we were amazed at how straight her teeth already are. The entire staff is very friendly and welcoming and do their best to make you feel comfortable during the visit. The office is playfully decorated with a game room for kids in the waiting area. Payment plan was easy and affordable. Thank you Dr Sayed and team!

Best orthodontist ever. I’ve been going to see Dr. Samra for many, many years and would never consider going anywhere but to his office. First of all, his staff go above and beyond to make your experience positive and comfortable and they are extremely professional and easy to talk to. The location is beautiful, as you can see the sky and trees out the window and they are always using the latest technology. Whenever there is a problem with my teeth they figure out a way to fit me in the schedule. I’m consistently getting compliments about my teeth and I owe it to this amazing office. I highly recommend it. Thank you!!!!

I cannot say enough about this place. Dr. Sayed is a talented, honest and a perfectionist orthodontist. His office is clean , nice and very welcoming. His staff are incredibly professional and caring. They really go above and beyond to help get you through the process . I was able to work out an affordable payment plan to cover costs since we didn’t have an insurance plan to pay for it. Shawn , at front desk is awesome. Appointments are on time and easy to make or change. The best decision that I’ve made for my daughter and even myself! My daughter is so happy with the result and I’m still in the process. Beautiful experience , and highly recommended!

After much research I chose Dr. Sayed for my daughters braces. It was definitely the right choice. He is very kind and his staff explains everything before they do it. My daughter even got her braces off earlier than expected! And Sean worked with me on a payment plan!  Beautiful office and a beautiful experience

I have had all three of my boys come through Dr. Sayed. I cannot rave enough about the quality of his work, the professionalism of his staff, and the overall generosity of spirit. Braces are not exactly a cheap affair, but I can tell you, had it not been for Dr. Sayed, I would not be able to give my children the gift of healthy, beautiful teeth. Oh, and by the way, I asked a lot of friends, dentists and orthodontists for a recommendation in my area, and they all pointed to Dr. Sayed!

Dr. Sayed is extremely good at his job. He is professional with an excellent manner towards adults and children alike. Sean in the front office always confirms appointments and is a friendly consistent face. Top notch medical practice and patient care here. I highly recommend!

Dr. Sayed was honest and upfront with costs and timing consistently during my daughters treatment. My daughters teeth look amazing and when her jaw grew and shifted the teeth 2 years later, Dr. Sayed found us a cost effective and successful solution. We have been pleased with the friendliness of The staff and doctor, and would recommend Dr. Sayed to friends and family.

I had been searching for a pediatric orthodontist for a while. I asked my dentist for referrals but instead of referrals he gave me a list of question to ask and the answers that should be given. I then called several orthodontists and Dr. Sayed’s office was the first one that answered most of my question to my satisfaction. During our initial consultation, Dr. Sayed was very patient with all my questions and very thorough with his answers. That was 2 1/2 years ago. My son and daughter are now undergoing treatment and I also have had braces, I couldn’t be happier with the care received at the office. Dr. Sayed, Sylvia, Sean and all the staff are professional, caring and strive to make the experience as painless as possible. I found out later that Dr Sayed is also the orthodontist for my pediatrician’s children. I highly recommend Dr. Sayed.

Dr.Sayed did such a great job on my teeth. I have been seeing 3 different orthodontists before I went to get the opinion from Dr.Sayed and all of them wanted to pull 4 teeth out. I met with dr.Sayed and he said I can do it without pulling teeth and can be done within 1-1.5 years. My husband and I decided to let he takes care of my teeth, it took 14.5 months and I just took the braces off today. I also referred 2 of my girlfriends to get the braces on with him and their results came out beautiful. Thanks a lot to dr.Sayed and great staffs who taking care of me and my friends.

I am a family dentist in Los Alamitos for the past 18 years. Both my kids have seen Dr. Sayed for orthodontic care. I am very happy with his care and believe he is a fine orthodontist. He believes in early interceptive orthodontic care, which I agree is better in some circumstances. I have seen many patients in my years of practice who have been treated by Mark, and the patients and parents are satisfied and happy with the knowledge and expertise he brings. Please give Dr. Sayed a chance to show you he is the most practical and forward-thinking orthodontist around.

Dr. Sayed was recommended to me by my dentist when I needed orthodontic treatment – at age 59! Prior to my needing braces, Dr. Sayed successfully treated my husband, also, who was very pleased with the outcome. So, I knew I would be in good, expert hands. Dr. Sayed was indeed an outstanding choice! He and his office staff are highly knowledgeable and caring. In addition to their friendly, efficient service, the front office staff is very helpful and knowledgeable about insurance procedures and payment options. During the year I had metal braces to correct my dental issues as well as effectively straighten my teeth, Dr. Sayed and his skilled technicians helped me to actually have fun with the braces! I am so glad I had this orthodontic work done when I did… now 3 years later after returning to Dr. Sayed for a check up, I continue to be delighted with the outcome along with a confident smile. I highly recommend Dr. Sayed for all orthodontic needs… at any age!

My mother, brother, and I all had our orthodontic work done by Dr. Sayed and we have nothing but great things to say about him and his staff! We went through consultations with a handful of other orthodontists before walking through the doors of Dr. Sayed’s very inviting office and we found there to be no comparison, an opinion we still hold years after having our braces off. We cannot recommend him enough! Thank you, Dr. Sayed!!!

I have to give Dr. Sayed a shout out only because he has got to be the best Orthodontist in Orange County. I live in Irvine and make the drive down to San Juan just to have Dr. Sayed work on my sons teeth. He has a magnificent office staff and he is the most amazing Dr. around. My son has been going to him for the past year and he has made us feel so comfortable and at eaze not only about the treatment but for all the office visits. His staff has worked with us to get situations worked out to be able to get the best results we can. I would recommend Dr. Sayed to EVERYONE! He is definitly worth the drive and you will not be disappointed 🙂 THANK YOU DR. SAYED

My son has been a patient of Dr. Sayed’s for 6 years. He was only 7 when he started receiving orthodontic treatment and the staff has always been extremely patient, kind, and encouraging. Dr. Sayed knows everyone by name, remembers which children belong to which parents, and takes a genuine interest in all of their lives. He offers so much more than just orthodontic care! The office is warm and inviting and you are always greeted with a smile upon entering. About a year and a half ago, our family relocated to Las Vegas, NV and my son had not yet completed his course of orthodontic treatment. The idea of getting a new orthodontist near our new home never even crossed our minds. To this day, we continue to make trips back to Southern California whenever the need arises so he can continue to be a patient of Dr. Sayed’s. When you find outstanding people offering outstanding customer service and care, you hold onto it no matter what!!

My son Nathan has been going to Dr. Sayed for the last 2 years. I have been so pleased with them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an excellent pediatric orthodontist. The office is a breezy, second-floor unit – very sunny and cheery – and instantly sets kids at ease. Shawn at the front desk is the calmest, kindest person you’ll meet, so flexible with scheduling and always sets my son’s mind at ease. My son normally is anxiety-ridden at dentists and doctors visits but the environment and care here is very nurturing. There are also WII and other games to keep the kids occupied although the wait time is usually under 5 minutes if that. I actually enjoy appointments there because it is such a beautiful and airy office with an ocean breeze and not the typical sterile of a doctor’s/dentist’s office. Also, the office is always buzzing with kids which as a new client initially really set my mind at ease that this doctor was experienced and caring. There are families who with multiple kids who have clearly been with the doctor for many years. The care itself is excellent. My son’s speech and even aesthetics improved with the expander he wore and he’s gained more confidence as a result. I highly recommend Dr. Sayed, Shawn and all the staff here for top-quality care and a nurturing environment that can actually make dental visits fun. ( :

My experience at Dr. Sayed’s office has been nothing but positive.   The staff at the office is friendly and helpful.  Appointments are made at your convenience, quickly and easily.  The atmosphere in the practice is highly professional and very clean.  It is also very kid-friendly and relaxing, not uncomfortably sterile like some other offices.   The results were beautiful and I have been smiling more than ever since getting my braces off.  I was also very pleased that my braces were taken off in exactly the month I was told they would come off at my consultation before getting braces.  Overall, I have no complaints about the service I received and I would recommend Dr. Sayed to anyone.   He is a very caring man and wants to make sure you get perfect results.

4 members of our family have all had a wonderful experience at the offices of Dr. Sayed. Myself (braces for the 2nd time-a little different when your an adult!), my two teenage daughters and my son who’s in the transitional stage (had an expander and is now waiting for all his permament teeth to come in). Super helpful staff and always able to squeeze us in & work around the kids school/sports schedule for appointments. We get compliments on our smiles all the time. 🙂 Thank you!

First let me point out the fact that we live in Murrieta. We moved from Rancho Santa Margarita 9 years ago where I had taken my, then 3 month old, son to Dr. Jon Sayed Pediatric Dentist. After moving, we continued to visit Dr. Jon and eventually were referred to Dr. Mark. My son loved Dr. Jon for his teeth cleaning (very gentle) so why not try his brother for braces? Dr. Mark conducted a thorough examination and put together a comprehensive plan for the years ahead and my son’s growing mouth. In first grade my son was fitted for a pallet expander (sounds worse than it is) and, because he was so young, Dr. Mark gave him a removable appliance so that he could eat properly. After 4 years of using that appliance my son sat patiently on Valentine’s day, 2011 to have braces put on. Dr. Mark had assured me & my husband that the initial investment of time and money for the expander would mean that our son would only POSSIBLY need braces but, if he DID get them it would be only for a year or so. I can very happily say that in June of 2012 the braces came off. Unlike many of our son’s friends who had braces when they were very young only to have them reapplied again when adult teath appeared, or have had them for several years. We are SO pleased that our son’s teeth and bite are absolutely perfect! The charges were fair and never increased, and the appointments were on time and easily made/changed. Sean, at the front desk, is extremely friendly and professional as are the assistants, etc. We completely trusted Dr. Mark and were absolutely correct to do so! He is honest, funny, friendly, professional, and truly a joy to visit. Having his office to go to made the trips and money spent very easy to handle. There are MANY Orthontists in my area but I felt confident going to Dr. Mark and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! Sincerely, Hollye LaJeunesse

My family cannot say enough good things about the level of service and the amount of care provided by Dr. Sayed and his staff. The service starts when you walk in the door, everyone has the best interest of the patient in mind. We are at the tail end of having two boys go through braces & retainers and, while going to the dentist is not what many folks look forward to, the entire process has been great on us (parents) and the boys were always treated very well. We would highly recommend Dr. Sayed’s office.
