PATIENT REVIEWS

My daughter is receiving treatment here and so far we have no complaints. She has said that the “bedside” manners of the staff have been wonderful and informative. The customer service in a sense of follow up calls to check on her after procedures are done are on point. They have been very accommodating when my daughter has an issue with her braces, wires, brackets etc. I have already, and would, absolutely recommend Thurman to friends and family.

This practice is beautiful. The office is open and welcoming, not at all like any Dr’s office I’ve been to. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was thoroughly explained to me and my daughter which I appreciated. Neither of us had any questions when we walked out the door. Since having them put on we’ve received numerous communications checking in with us and letting us know they’re there to help. Such a friendly office.

Dr. Thurman has a wonderful staff. Your taken care of almost immediately. Your not waiting for hours. The staff makes you feel welcomed almost like your family. This team should be teaching customer service seminars. I haven’t experienced customer service like this in years. Dr. T is personable and available should you have a concern!! I’m very happy with my decision to have both daughters smiles treated through Thurman Orthodontics.

We have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Thurman and all of his stuff. Everyone is super friendly, caring, and attentive. We are just starting braces on our second child with Dr. Thurman.  Never had to wait longer then 10 minutes for them to call us back!  Our first child’s brace journey was smooth. We always knew what to expect and her teeth look amazing

Thurman Orthodontics is hands down the best orthodontic experience I have ever had. This place is extremely organized, fun, and very clean. Every employee I have encountered including Dr. T are kind, helpful, and treat you as an equal. Love this place, you will not regret trusting Dr. Thurman for your orthodontics. I have one son that gets his braces off in a few months and another that just started and both experiences have been fabulous.

Great customer service from the moment you walk in the door. The office is beautiful but doesn’t smell like a Dr’s office (which was important to my daughter). The staff was incredibly thorough with their explanations of how everything was going to work before and during application.  I’ve had numerous follow up communications to make sure my child is doing well with her first few weeks of having braces.

I highly recommend Thurman Orthodontics. My 12 year old daughter had 2 other consultations, Thurman’s was her third consult. Once I called to schedule I knew immediately this was going to be our choice. The young woman on the phone who scheduled appointment was so nice and professional. Once we went to consult everyone was amazing, from front desk, financial, and back office. She got her braces on 07/19/2021, they called to check on her the next day. So far we are very pleased with their service and look forward to her next appointment.

My son started his braces journey last week and I am very satisfied with the staff and customer services at Thurman Orthodontics. One thing i hate most about any offices is waiting for long period of times in the lobby just to be called to the back, this was not the case at Thurman Orthodontic. Both apt we’ve had went by quick and smooth. I am glad I chose this office  I would highly recommend this office. 10/10

My consultation was an amazing experience and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The energy when you walk in there is super cozy and fun! Weeks later,  I came back for my invisalign & they walked me through it on how it works and had me practice to where I got the hang of it. Highly recommend them! Such great energy from walking in and walking out. Will be recommending Dr. Thurman Orthodontics. I’m on week 5 and already see shifting on my teeth. I’m excited to see what the results will look like.

I have had a great experience at Thurman orthodontist. The staff is very nice and have great customer service. They always make sure you are doing fine and if your comfortable this place is really good I will totally recommend to everyone. I think they are the best orthodontist in Bakersfield.

Today was my last day of my Invisalign treatment…normally people would be happy to be done, but I’m quite sad that I won’t be coming around as often to visit this place!! Dr. T IS SO THOROUGH with his patients! He took my Invisalign attachments off today and took the time to file and round off small details in my smile. I did not know my teeth would come out looking this great!!! AHHHHHHHH!! I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. He has so many patients, but truly takes the time to make each one feel like they’re getting individualized care. This is a gem of a place y’all…and this is coming from someone who had gotten Invisalign treatment 6 years prior in northern Cali. Dr. T and his team cannot be beat. Go hear and no where else for your new smile! You will NOT regret it!

Thurman Orthodontics has been great! We were in and out within 2 hours. The ladies that put the braces on my daughter were patient and kind. They talked her through the process to help her with her anxiety. Then when we ran into a problem with the braces, they got us in, same day, to fix it.  Couldn’t ask for more from our first experience. We love Dr. T and his staff!

We love Dr. T and his staff! They are always so nice. This is our 2nd child to get treatment with Thurman orthodontics. As a momma it’s nice because they get us in on time and out really quickly but still make me feel like we are getting the attention we need. Patients get goodies when they get their braces on, and some candy they couldn’t have while wearing braces when the braces come off. Overall just a really awesome experience.

I have one son who is about to get his braces off and one that just got his put on. Hands down the best orthodontic experience I have ever had. The entire office staff is organized, consistent, and so nice. Dr. Thurman is amazing and while he is a busy dude when he is with you or your child you have his undivided attention. I highly recommend Thurman Orthodontics.

My daughter has had two appointments so far and we LOVE IT. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The first apt was smooth & we went over a payment plan that suit us. After my daughter got her braces on the second appointments, they called to make sure everything was going good with us. Which we really appreciated. The saying so so true, you get what you pay for. For us it is peace of mind. Would definitely recommend

Thurman Orthodontics is such a great place. I did a full 24 month treatment for myself and I’am now starting treatment for my daughter. They are so friendly & super fast in getting you in last minute for any need. I’m beyond happy with my perfect smile & can’t wait to see what they do with my daughters smile. I would 1000 recommend this place!!!

We used Dr. Thurman 5 years ago when my son needed braces and he had a pretty severe overbite . Dr Thurman gave us a time frame of just under 36 months … my son was out of braces in a year and a half!! I couldn’t believe how amazing he looked after they came off .. his teeth still look great BTW! Well now it is my 10 year old daughters turn and her case isn’t as bad as her older brothers, but she does have an overbite as well . She just had them put on a week ago and she’s excited thus far (she was sore the first 3 days as anticipated) but the first thing she said was “straight teeth here I come ” . I’m pleased with all of the staff , everyone is so knowledgeable and kind and do professional, highly recommend!!

Amazing, friendly and professional staff from the front to the back! Doctor is the absolute best. We absolutely love and adore you all! Definitely made to feel like family when you walk through the door.

We recently took our daughter in to see Dr. Thurman. The whole team made our decision to start treatment so easy! From the moment we walked through the door, everyone was very friendly and efficient. We only waited a few moments to be called back, and from there it really went so smoothly! All our questions were answered and my daughter was very comfortable and actually excited to start her treatment that same day! Dr. Thurman was very personable and took the time to talk with us and answer our questions. We highly recommend Dr. Thurman and his welcoming team to anyone needing orthodontic treatment.

My son (11 years old) just got his braces. Everyone was very nice, and professional. They made my son feel welcome. Dr. Thurman introduced himself and had a little chat about what he will experience within the next few days, he added if anything bothers him at all to call in and they will get him asap to take care of him. It was a very good experience and we are Thankful!!

Amazing place very professional and clean . I was very nervous to get my braces but they were very nice and welcoming that they made me feel at peace with the process made sure I was comfortable. I love also how Dr.Thurman was getting involved with all his patients and introducing himself . Best Experience. Will recommend to any of my family or friends .

We recently moved to Bakersfield and asked around to see which orthodontic office we should go to for our 14-year-old son.  Thurman Orthodontics came highly recommended and we are so happy we went there.  We were able to get in for a consultation within a week and started treatment that day.  The wait was only a few minutes and the service was great.  Every staff member was friendly and helpful.  We are excited to have a more confident teenager in 14 months!

Hi my name is Maria duran I took my daughter to get her braces and they were so helpful and very clean and sanitizing and we’re able to answer all my questions I would definitely recommend to the family members and friends any time and loved there service very much I give them a 5 start because they are the best orthodontics love there services and the way they helped us and fair on the prices of the braces and other services love them very much

I have never been happier with an orthodontist practice. Not only are they quick and efficient, but they are extremely kind. I have my two siblings getting braces with them, 15 and 17, and when shopping around we found that Thurman had the best customer service. They were able to put the braces on same day, they offer financing, as well as a down payment monthly installment program. My siblings are very happy and every appointment is always in and out for them. Most months they offer some kind of discount, like $1000 off or $500 off, even discounts for having multiple family members get braces with them.

My daughter and I have both received treatment at here and I would never go anywhere else. Every aspect of this place is impeccable. The ladies who work in this office (front and back) are extremely kind and helpful. Dr. Thurman is absolutely wonderful and is very knowledgeable in his field. If you are looking for top quality treatment, this is your place!

We just got braces put on my son, so I will update when we finish treatment in about 18 months on results and our time here. We went to 3 consultations in one day and I wasn’t quite sold on the other two orthodontists we went to see. Thurman was the last consult of the day and I was planning on going home and thinking on my decision and maybe even going to a couple more consults before deciding.  Although we didn’t meet with Dr. Thurman personally during the consult, the coordinator told us the plan that he had set up and the cost. The woman were working with (I can’t remember her name) was so nice and answered all our questions. I had seen a special for $500 off and free whitening so she factored that into the price as well. They had a plan for insurance on retainers with only a small deductible if my son ever loses or breaks his retainers down the road. The place was very clean, the people were nice, and they seem to be popular because there were a lot of people getting braces adjusted while we were there. We ended up signing papers and getting braces put on that day. My son felt comfortable there and said that would be his choice out of all 3 places we had gone that day. Dr. Thurman came over to check that the brackets were all placed where they should be and introduced himself. Everything seems very organized and I feel good about our decision to trust them with my sons teeth!

Thurman Orthodontics was so clean and fast. Such affordable monthly payments for braces + a bleaching kit. You can tell the staff is happy to help and is excited for their patients. I went in for a free consultation at 8:15 AM and came out at 9:45 with braces! If you are currently looking to achieve a better smile, I HIGHLY recommend Thurman’s, you WILL NOT be disappointed!!

So far i LOVE this place, came here as a second opinion from a previous dentist to weigh all my options. I truly thought they were going to give me the same run down but nope they gave me options that really highlighted exactly what I wanted done to my smile! I was shocked but they were so enthusiastic, the whole staff is very welcoming and I am so glad I chose them!

The best Orthodonics I have been too! I drove four hours to see Dr. T for a consultation and they give you the option of starting right then and there. By far, I am so happy with how my experience went! The staff is all very friendly and they genuinely care for you. Also, they give you affordable options and they provide you with any support you may need! Excited to see how my treatment goes but overall this is the place to trust with your new smile and I am glad that I did!

The team at the clinic is amazing. Wait time is minimum and staff is very friendly. They explain everything thoroughly from appointments, finance, procedure and after care. The vibe at the clinic is kid friendly. My boys loved it there. Dr. Thurman assured my son that he will be there for him and explained it to him as a person. He addressed my son and staff listened to his concerns. Which was a positive point for me. I can text or call to make an appointment for my son if anything is bothering him regarding his braces and he will be seen at the earliest possible time which is in a day or same day. My son got his braces the same day , they made an effective plan for him and made him feel comfortable. I am very happy so far with my experience at Thurman orthodontics.

What an amazing team not only were they fast but they were on time and efficient and very open to communication .My son has had very bad experiences in the past with specialit’s so I have to  admit I was very afraid he wouldn’t be open to the experience but this team not only was very communicative about everything they were doing but they made my son comfortable with the care because they kept him informed and that made all the difference. I highly recommend this team their smile from behind the mask shows in their eyes and that makes all the experience more worth while thank you from the bottom of our hearts
