PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Gloeckner and staff are very friendly and fast.  We always get right in and out without having to wait. They treat us like we’re part of the family. Nanja always goes above and beyond; exceeding customer service expectations. I’m not one to normally post reviews but they are a rare gem – service like theirs is really hard to come by these days. We truly appreciate you!

I am extremely happy with the care I have been receiving here at Aloja Denistry. Everyone here makes you feel like family they work around your schedule take the time to explain everything in a way you can understand it. Dr.Bruce is amazing dentist he goes beyond to assure that he is providing the best care for your theeth. The office is always clean and organized which is something I always look at personally.

My friend refered me to here to do braces for my misaligned teeth. First time I met Dr. Bruce and his staff, Nanja, I love them. They were so friendly. I believe Dr.Bruce is gonna do my braces well. 5 stars for Aloha Orthodontics. Highly recommended !

Its no secret that many of us are apprehensive about going to the dentist. I am one of those people. However, oral care is essential to overall health and there is no one better to help you than Bruce Gloeckner. This doctor and his exceptional staff not only put your fears to rest immediatley, they genuinely care about you. From start to finish they explain whatever steps need to be taken to keep you happy,healthy and most importantly …Smiling!  You can read their glowing reviews or just go in and have a consultation. I promise, you will not be disappointed!!  Bakersfield is lucky to have Aloha Dentistry.

They’re amazing! Nanja is very helpful and can fix appointments around your schedule! She makes our experience easier and great. I have been going to this orthodontist for more than a year now and everyone there is so nice. They help you when you have any problems with braces. The orthodontist is very kind, as well!

This is a great place to go!!  I *loathe* going to dentists but at Aloha they make you feel comfortable, relaxed, and like you’re making a visit to an old friend’s. They’re not pushy about anything. They leave the decision making up to you, the parent. You just can’t ask for a better experience. I’ve been taking my children to Dr. Gloeckner for over two years and every visit is always a beautiful and fun time for both me and my children!

My friend recommended me this place for braces because she has her braces done here. So I came to Aloha yesterday  for consultation and had an amazing experience. The staff has been incredibly nice  and Dr. Bruce is great. He spent his time to explain the entire process as well as answer all of my questions. They treated me like their family and made me felt like they really cared  and wanted to give their patients the best result  after treatment. So I will start my journey with Aloha Orthodontics after getting some dental works done. I would recommend this place to my friends. Thank Dr. Bruce and his staff.

I love, Love, LOVE ALOHA Orthodontics! Thanks to caring and understanding staff, I was able to choose an orthodontic plan for both my children that was financially affordable (less than $100/month for each child) and accommodating to my wants for their plan. I am not at all invasive-minded, and Dr. Gloeckner worked with me on the various options available. The staff has always been friendly and personal with myself and my children. They get to know us as though we are personal friends on a first name basis. They are open Saturdays, which has been a god-send for the times when that was the only do-able day during the busy week; and the fact that in comparison to the 6 other orthodontic offices that I had visited in Bakersfield, ALOHA is 30-50% less than any of them. The other offices had only one option available and they were not willing to work with us on less invasive options. I love their new x-ray technology which is completely non-invasive ZERO radiation, and it’s 90% effective in diagnosing cavities, compared to the 40% efficacy of standard x-ray exams. I feel at peace and completely confident with the care that my children and I receive at ALOHA from the staff and Dr. Gloeckner. The anxiety most clients feel going to an orthodontist…none here! There is no anxiety with thinking of cost or treatment or outcome. I only recommend ALOHA. You want good ethics, good treatment, flexibility and reliability? ALOHA is your place.

The people here are extremely amazing and friendly. Going to the orthodontist isn’t the most fun or pleasant; however, they made my time here enjoyable. If you’re looking to fix the alignment of your teeth at a reasonable cost, this is the place for you. Not only do the workers here do their job efficiently, but they also make sure you are comfortable and happy during your appointments and with the outcome of your teeth. I 11/10 recommend this place!

Walking in the themed office is very welcoming and frankly, made me want to take a trip to Hawaii. I was greeted by Nan and she’s the sweetest. She took me me to take all my xrays and then went into the consult room where we chatted away and I met Dr Bruce. He was also very kind and informative as to what needs to be done and weighing the options with me honestly not just trying to sell me. I was very happy to make my follow up appointment to get the process started and on my way to straight teeth. Highly recommend. Thank you, Dr Gloeckner and Nan

Best (and almost Holistic) approach to Orthodontics!! After trying THREE other orthodontists in town (and being jerked around by all) we so happily found Dr Gloc. He was referred to us by a few trusted friends so we thought we’d give him a try. He is strait forward and looks for a most effective plan of attack. We love the group down at Aloha, they’re by far the best we’ve seen in Bakersfield and in Tehachapi!

I’m a patient at Aloha Orthodontics and I have to say that Aloha, without a doubt, is the way to go. First of all, the staff at this amazing office is friendly ,courteous and very helpful. The office Is very welcoming. I love that it is a very fast paced office and you never have to wait, unlike many other offices. On top of all that, they saved me over $2,000 on my treatment and they didn’t charge me a cent to start up. ( Zero down).I highly recommend Aloha orthodontics! (;

Aloha is the best place to get your braces done. Very affordable and the staff is amazing. For almost every adjusting/ tightening done on my braces Dawn Wood did them. She is so funny and a great person to be with during the procedures. Also the doctor was very friendly when it came to the consultations/ adjusting my braces as well. Having the amazing staff of Aloha made braces seem not so bad. Highly recommend going there!

I felt welcomed from the moment I came in the door. Very friendly staff. It is a lot like walking in and seeing friends you haven’t seen in too long, even if you’ve never been there. They tell us we’re part of the family and it really feels like it.

My experience with Dr. Gloeckner was wonderful. He was kind, professional, and HONEST. He literally could NOT have hired better staff. The girls in the office are up-beat, fun, helpful and completely on top of their game. I wish I could come in contact with people like this on a regular basis. I highly recommend coming to this office!!!

Aloha Orthodontics is an awesome dental clinic. Very clean and nice atmosphere. The office staff and the orthodontist are super friendly. Dawn changes my daughter’s brace bands every month, and I love how Dawn Christy is very nice & friendly to my daughter Krissy. Besides her friendliness Dawn is a great assistant. Our experiences in this office are always positive, and I will recommend this clinic to everyone I know.

I absolutely love Aloha orthodontics. I have two children who are been treated there. Nanja has been excellent with all my questions, always friendly, always ready to help, and very professional. The entire staff is welcoming and treat us like family. My children look forward to their visits at Aloha as do I. Dr. Gloeckner impeccable and superb work has made my sons smiles worth a million dollars.

I’ve been going to aloha for the last 7 years and I couldn’t be happier with how my smile turned out. The atmosphere is superior to any dentist or orthodontist office I’ve been to. Dr. Gloeckner was my primary care giver and he is the best orthodontist in town. I would recommend anyone, any age to take a visit to Aloha if you need your smile fixed.

Before I came to this office I had such low self esteem about my smile, like I felt like my smile didn’t match my personality which was a total damper in my life. I though and thought for months because this would have been my second set of braces and I didn’t want to have another mistake, however they made me feel comfortable at the consultation and didn’t pressure me to do anything. After a while I finally said okay I’m going to trust the process, and I definitely did. Not only did doctor Gloc but his staff helped me get to the smile that I finally was seeking. Because of them I feel like I can go through police academy and smile huge, go down the isle and smile huge. It doesn’t just stop there tho they allow my personality to shine when I walk through that office. They are like a family away from my family. I have also added a before and after picture. I mean before the braces you could drive a tractor through my gap but because of aloha dentistry not anymore.

The staff did an amazing job for the two years I had my braces here. Right from my first visit I was immediately comfortable and was really excited to improve my crooked smile. They were always caring, tentative and I loved that they really all got to know their patients one on one. I hardly ever had to wait long for my appointments as they schedule accordingly, and work I needed done was done really well and quick. They also always have great advice and instructions when it came to aftercare. Now my train tracks are off and I’m honestly really going to miss heading over there and trying to talk to them with dental instruments in my mouth. Thank you so much to everyone at Aloha Dentistry!

My friend Fabiola Rodriquez , just moved here to the area and needed to find a place that will keep treating her with her braces.. found this place (aloha orthodontic ) we were very pleased when we g got there and they welcome us with open arms…best experience ever speciali the staff are so nice … good with payments and great attention to detail….I highly recommend this place amazing

Dr. Gloeckner and his staff have truly taken care of improving my smile. Him and his staff are very well educated far beyond their means. The hospitality alone is very inviting. Never having to wait to be seen and making me feel like I am their #1 patient is truly amazing. I must say this is the first time I have had the best customer service EVER!!! I have recommend 3 patients to Aloha and all 3 have came back to tell me how delightful and satisfying their are with their orthodontic care. Aloha Orthodontics goes above and beyond and really make you feel like family. I would give Aloha 10 stars if I could!!!

This is what true care looks like at Aloha Orthodontics, I was very nervous and on edge before going, but I needed answers as to why my mouth hurt so bad. They have state of the art X-ray equipment, great atmosphere and caring people!! I loved my experience there and I recommend them to everyone that needs to go to an orthodontist. Prices were reasonable and they work with you. If I could give more stars I would, it was overall just a great experience!!! Thank you Aloha!!

Dr. Gloeckner and staff at Aloha Orthodontics are amazing! They are so friendly and so fun, you feel right at home the second you walk in. I have recommended numerous friends and family and will continue to do so. They took such great care of me through my whole plan of care and even better care of me when I needed my retainers fixed. LOVING my perfect smile and get compliments all the time!! Thank you so much Dr. Gloeckner and all of the staff at Aloha! You’re the best!

Aloha Orthodontics is one of those rare gems you come across unexpectedly, Dr. Bruce Gloeckner and Staff have treated our sons, myself and husband, with exceptional results, our boys started with Ortho-tain appliances which changed their jaw line and bite drastically with a smooth transition into braces to finish treatment, husband is currently in braces to correct his upper teeth for a better bite and alignment.  Dr. Bruce Gloeckner also provides our family with dental care and takes most insurances and an added plus, monthly payments!  Before deciding on Aloha Orthodontics I interviewed 5 Orthodontists in the Bakersfield area 3 would not touch our oldest sons mouth, deciding on Dr. Gloeckner was an easy decision, he knew exactly how to correct our sons mouth and come out with great results. Added benefit Husband likes/trusts Dr. Gloeckner and he doesn’t like/trust many people.

My daughter has restarted braces here. And from the moment we walked in (hesitantly) we’ve been consistently greeted warmly and treated as a valuable customer. The girls here are very knowledgeable and just wonderful. The dr has a very laid back feel. It means a lot when you walk in somewhere and immediately feel comfortable. I mentioned earlier that I was hesitant because of the unacceptable behavior I’ve received else where. It left us doubtful and worrisome. The staff don’t hunt you down they help you understand all the paperwork understand your coverage. It just seems as this gem of an office has been waiting for us. The individualized care is awesome. The staff seem genuinely happy to be there. Come here for great orthodontic treatment. Clean office. The restroom and entire interior decor is personalized. It’s a fun place with great people working.

I love going in they are always so welcoming and have one of the most worming greetings. I always get the best service I have been coming to Dr. Bruce for 2 Years and I’m honestly going to miss seeing them every month since I’m close to the end of my procedure . I am so pleased that know my little brother is starting his braces. Really recommended coming here for your Orthodontist needs!

Aloha, from the first time that I walked in to the office with my twins I felt very comfortable and I knew that we are in good hands. the lady at the front desk made my kids feel very comfortable made she talked to them and smiled like we knew her for many years. then came Dawn sweet girl with big smile and took the kids in. I went along and here comes Dr. Gloeckner Bruce with the same friendly smile. He talked to the kids and explain every thing that is going to happens. they fell in love with him couldn’t wait to get started. from that day the rest is history we got the most beautiful smile for the kids and for very affordable price. i highly recommended to any one. we still go from time to time to make sure every thing is good. Aloha you truly going to feel comfortable in that beautiful clinic with amazing stuff.

Dr. Gloeckner and his staff are amazing. They are fast, efficient and extremely friendly. We have gone to other orthodontist in town, and I can promise you will get the same if not BETTER treatment for almost half the price. Dr. Gloeckner and his staff are there to serve their patients to the best of their ability, and is committed to make sure you leave happy! If you live a busy life style like us and need to get in and out then, this is the orthodontist for you. Office is inviting, clean and comfortable. Affordable payment plans as well. Thank you Aloha Dentistry! 🙂

Superb experience. Brought my 10 year-old to get braces, surprised when doctor proposed a different method to achieve even better results, at a lower price. A year later, my daughter’s teeth are straight, she smiles confidently and best of all, it was painless. The service at this office is extraordinary, doctor was formally trained and practiced in Northern California, Bakersfield is blessed with his local presence. A definite 5-star experience.

It’s no secret that many of us are apprehensive about going to the dentist. I am one of those people. However, oral care is essential to overall health and there is no one better to help you than Bruce Gloeckner.

Very friendly staff, great treatments, and affordable prices. This office treats you like family. Dr. Gloeckner and Dawn are both great professionals and I am so grateful for them both and loved the outcome of my teeth!!! If you need braces, I definitely recommend Aloha Orthodontics.

I had my braces done at Aloha Dentistry and have to say I am so happy and confident with my new smile. My whole experience from beginning to end was the best they always greet you with a smile and make you feel like your family. Dawn is a great assistant, she is so kind and cares about her work. I would recommend Aloha Dentistry to anyone and will be taking my sons when they’re ready for braces. Thanks Dawn, Doc and Staff!

This place is the best! The staff is very welcoming and quick, I hardly ever had to wait for them to attend me. I have been a patient at Aloha Orthodontics for almost 2 years and never had a problem. They have done great work and I can already see a difference in my smile! I highly recommend Aloha Orthodontics for people seeking to achieve a beautiful smile as well as a great staff.
