PATIENT REVIEWS

We have been incredibly happy with Dr. Hom. Two of our kids have beautiful smiles thanks to him. A third will get her braces soon. The office is professional. Dr. Hom is focused on the science of orthodontia and has years of experience to back it up. Our appointments were always on time. They do not waste your time with with necessary bells and whistles. I was really turned off when another orthodontist made me sit through videos of her singing song parodies about orthodontia.

We are so happy with our experience with Dr Hom and his team. Our 3 sons are all current patients of his practice. His staff is incredibly helpful, friendly & made our boys feel very comfortable. They each took the time to teach my boys how to brush & floss with braces….during each visit. From the beginning, Dr Hom took the necessary x-rays & explained each of our boys treatment plans. He gave us a transparent, reasonable & simple monthly payment plan for each boy with no extra “surprises.” Dr. Hom’s communication with the boys regarding their treatment plans during each visit was age appropriate and clear. They really appreciated how he treated each of them. My oldest has completed his treatment plan and we are all so thrilled with the results!

I truly appreciate Dr. Hom. He is so thorough in everything he does, his office is very punctual, and the staff is so polite and professional! He is a master at his art of orthodontics and has given me a beautiful smile as well as my two sons. Thank you Dr. Hom!

Dr. Hom was my daughter’s orthodontist a few years back and her experience and results were wonderful, so naturally, when I had to fix my annoying crooked tooth he was the obvious choice!  He approximated it would take six months with regular braces and he was right on the mark!  I love his staff!  They are all very friendly and knowledgeable.  The office is beautiful and I have to say I could fall asleep in those chairs!  Dr. Hom is a professional and super down to earth.  It is my pleasure to recommend him and give them all 5 stars!  Thank you!!!!

Dr. Hom has treated my daughter and my son. Their results were amazing!! Dr. Hom was able to correct my son’s severe underbite. Now he has a beautiful, straight smile!! He and his staff were always very professional, friendly, and accommodating and generous. They also had monthly guessing games which my kids always looked forward to. Like guessing how many candy corns in a jar at Halloween. My son won 2 gift cards!! They really care about their patients. You feel like family when you are there. It’s strange but we will miss going to appointments. We highly recommend Dr. Hom!!

We were referred to Dr. Hom by our dentist for my son’s braces. We not only appreciated the financial transparency but also the detailed information we received during each and every visit. Making appointments was easy and convenient as well. Dr. Hom and his staff are real professional and have a very sensitive and funny way with kids. The results of 2 years of office visits, adjustments and other treatments was beyond our expectations. Dr. Hom is highly recommended.

Dr. Hom’s office is bright, inviting and very comfortable. His staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Hom and his team are always focused on the positive outcome of their patients. This was our first experience with orthodonture, and incidents/accidents that made us anxious were never as drastic as we thought. Dr. Hom and his staff were always reassuring and positive. Our son achieved a very successful result and well ahead of schedule. We could not have been more satisfied. We are grateful for our pediatric dentist recommending Dr. Hom because of his success in treating clients with severe overbites, which our son had. Thank you,
Dr. Hom!

My friend is a dental hygienist and she told me Dr. Hom was the best he would make my kids smiles the best. She was right!!! First my daughter got braces 5 years ago and my 15 year old just got his off. Both of my kids smiles are gorgeous. Dr. Hom is the best. He and his entire staff are courteous, nice and extremely competent. The office is very nice and you hardly wait. I would recommend Dr. Hom again and again.

My daughter just got her braces off. Her teeth looks great. (People call it the Dr Hom smile!) Dr Hom and his staff are very professional, caring and do an overall great job. Dr Hom gave us a treatment plan and quote and everything went along as planned. You hardly ever have to wait in the waiting room, they see you right away. They also get you in and out of the office as quick as possible. If you have an issue, they fit you in and address it right away. This is a large, bright, clean office with an excellent staff. I highly recommend them

Dr. Hom and his staff are amazing! He is very professional, patient and caring in creating beautiful smiles. The staff are extremely flexible in rescheduling appointments and are very friendly. We are very pleased with the results and are definitely coming back for other family members. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an orthodontist in South Bay.

I would highly highly recommend Dr. Hom. I currently have 3 kids, ages 12, 14 and 16 under his care at the moment. My eldest daughter just got her braces off and her teeth look amazing! She had multiple challenges including a very rare occurence of a tooth that grew 2 spaces behind where it was supposed to be and Dr. Hom was able to fix this and all of her issues.  He has the experience in years and acute scientific knowledge of his craft that makes him stand out among the others. His office staff is extremely professional and responsive which has made the many appointments needed with 3 children an easy process.

I found Dr. Hom through a recommendation from my son’s dentist.  My son (14) was in braces 4 years, we could have done 2 years, waited a year and then put braces on again but Dr. Hom suggested keeping them on, the treatment ended up faster and less expensive.  Last week his braces came off and his teeth are amazing, we couldn’t be happier with the results.  During those 4 years I decided as an adult to finally straighten my teeth.  I really should have not procrastinated as long as I did for what turned out to be such an easy process.   Of the many times I’ve been to his office his staff has always been caring, and conscientious and on-time.  Dr. Hom is professional and a perfectionist, which is exactly what I want in an orthodontist.

My daughter just got her braces off and has a beautiful smile.  Dr. Hom did a fantastic job.  The office is clean and inviting and the staff is always very friendly and helpful.  We rarely had to wait more than a few minutes for our appointment.  He made the process very easy and she had her braces off in exactly the time he estimated from the beginning.  I would definitely recommended Dr. Hom as a great ortho in the South Bay.

I went to Dr Hom to address the movement in my teeth after seeing the brilliant results he achieved with my son’s teeth. I took the plunge and opted for braces too and now sport an amazing smile. I never had to wait for my appointment and appreciated the text reminders. Dr Hom was able to tell me step by step what would happen and wasn’t happy until things were perfect. He is very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend him for ALL age groups.

If only we had met Dr Hom sooner.  We took our daughter to another orthodontist in the region and began the process of adjusting her teeth.  Over time we began to doubt the service he was providing because of certain additional things he wanted to do, which we later found out were completely unnecessary.  We discovered Dr Hom and shifted to his office in the middle of the overall process, and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience and the results.  After our initial meeting with him, we knew for certain that he was the one we should have connected with from the beginning.  Dr Hom had to correct a bad decision that the previous orthodontist made, and he fixed the condition properly.  If you spend 20 minutes with him and have him explain what is, and isn’t, necessary, you will come to the same conclusion.  His manner is relaxed, yet confident and reassuring.  Our daughter has just completed the process and we are delighted with the results.  Our son may need the same treatment in the future, and there is no doubt who we will trust to do the work competently, and with excellent results.

My son just finished his orthodontic treatment and his smile looks AMAZING!!  Dr. Hom is very thorough and gives insightful answers to any questions you might have.  He & his staff made the process very easy with their friendly demeanor, ease of scheduling, and high level of communication.  They were focused on making sure that each step of the treatment was working as expected and made adjustments as needed.  I would highly recommend!!

We have had a great experience with Dr. Hom and his staff!  He explained everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and made us feel comfortable with his easy personality.  Every person that works in the office is kind, patient and friendly, which makes every visit pleasant.  I appreciate the text reminders for appointments and we don’t wait long to see the doctor.  We look forward to our next child starting soon with Dr. Hom!

I was referred to Dr. Hom by my kid’s dentist, who recommended him highly above other orthodontists. I have had two children get braces through Dr. Hom’s office and have been extremely pleased with the results and the 2+ year process to get them straightened.  His staff is very personable and professional and they keep you on a regular visit schedule, and remind you of them.  Because they liked the people, my kids did not ever argue about going there, which was a big plus in my book. The vast majority of the time, my kids were seen immediately and Dr. Hom explained clearly to both myself and my child what was going on and what they needed to do, both visually and verbally.  Occasionally, he was short with his explanation, but slowed down and was responsive when questioned and provided more detail.  Further, I found the prices fair and appreciated that they allowed us to pay for them over time without interest. I know other parents who have used him and have been equally satisfied.  You will be very happy if you choose Dr. Hom!

My daughter was highly recommended to Dr. Hom by her dentist because of his expertise, being a straight shooter yet kind, and his patience. Because of my daughter having “short roots”, we knew this process could be a little more challenging and needed to be handled delicately as to not compromise the strength of her short roots. Dr. Hom worked not only wonderfully with my daughter, but also in partnership my daughter’s dentist to make sure her teeth were strengthened and the roots not compromised during the process. The end result, her teeth came out beautifully straight and the roots are just fine. I highly recommend him to anyone.

In my mid-40s, the last thing I was thinking about was getting braces for the first time, but my dentist had asked if I’d considered Invisalign since my teeth had gotten more crowded as I got older.  I went to Dr. Hom to get a second opinion about the Invisalign, and he strongly suggested braces for me.  I am so glad I listened to him!  After a short 12 months, my teeth are beautifully straight.  I could not be happier with the results.  During my appointments, Dr. Hom’s team was always so professional and helpful, and I was able to schedule appointments to accommodate my work schedule.  When I recently got my braces off and saw the difference in my teeth from the original molds, it truly is a miracle what Dr. Hom was able to accomplish!!  Thank you so much!  And, now, my two teenage children are patients of Dr. Hom…I look forward to their fantastic results as well.  I highly recommend Dr. Hom!

All three of my daughters underwent Orthodontic treatment at the office of Dr. Barney Hom. The staff is friendly and professional. The treatment plans are clearly explained and the results are excellent! Rarely a wait, unless there is an emergency which they fit in ASAP Our family has the utmost confidence in Dr Hom’s services and give him the highest rating. Thanks!

We are so happy with our experience with Dr Hom and his team. Our 3 sons are all current patients of his practice. His staff is incredibly helpful, friendly & made our boys feel very comfortable. They each took the time to teach my boys how to brush & floss with braces….during each visit. From the beginning, Dr Hom took the necessary x-rays & explained each of our boys treatment plans.

I have been familiar with Dr. Hom and his office for over 30 years. My sister saw him as an orthodontist when we were children and her smile is perfect to this day. My two kids are currently undergoing orthodontic care and I just got my own braces off. Dr. Hom and his staff are always super polite, on time, and responsive. Dr. Hom is knowledgeable and strives to have a great bite, healthy teeth, and a brilliant smile. I am so proud to now have a “Dr. Hom smile”! I am looking forward to my kids joining that rank soon.

Dr. Hom has been working with both my boys, ever since my oldest was 4 years old. We came in for consultations for 3 years before starting braces for my son. Dr. Hom never charged for those consultations during those 3 years. We initially thought our son had an underbite but after keeping track of him for a few years, Dr. Hom didn’t think so. However, he did need braces to straighten his teeth. His office is very easy to work with. He is busy so scheduling can be a little challenging at times but it is well worth the wait. I trust his judgement, I feel he is honest. Other orthodontists really rush treatment and prescribe extreme measures-I had one orthodontist tell me my son should wear a face mask for 12 hours when he was 5 years old for his underbite. Which didn’t even turn out to be an underbite at all! Bottom line is, I trust Dr. Hom. I wouldn’t take my sons anywhere else.

I finally decided to finally get braces in my 40’s. I never had them before so this was a new experience for me. I got referrals for 3 other orthodontists, had consultations with them and ultimately decided to go with Dr. Hom. I  made the right choice. He was always on time, has a great personality, accommodated my schedule and his staff is fantastic. My teeth look beautiful and I couldn’t be more pleased.  I would highly recommend this office. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks Dr. Hom!

Dr. Barney Hom has taken care of both of our children.  He was highly recommended to us by our dentist, who had used him for her own and for her daughters’ orthodontic procedures.  We are very satisfied with the work that he has done with our kids.  We had been told that he won’t advocate unnecessary procedures, and that he is careful with the optimal timing of braces.  We found these things to be true.  His office staff is pleasant and efficient, and both the waiting area and work areas are clean, bright, and comfortable.  We were almost always able to schedule appointments after school hours, which was very helpful.  Most important, both of our kids have great-looking and healthy teeth.

Dr. Hom recently took the braces off our youngest daughter. And she has an amazing smile now!! Her older sister also enjoyed Dr. Hom’s talents and she has a gorgeous smile as well. With both girls having started & finished braces at Dr. Hom’s office I have spent countless hours in the office. Dr. Hom is a perfectionist – oh yes, he takes his job seriously & wants to best results for his patients. Dr. Hom truly does a fantastic job and is a great ortho!! His staff work hard and he is usually right on schedule and doesn’t run late (important when you’re getting two kids from school, to sports etc) We think Dr. Hom is great & TOTALLY recommend him:)

Dr. Hom is a great orthodontist and I recommend coming here if you want a perfect smile. He helped me with the overbite and did great with the braces. When I got my braces off he put on the retainer which worked out perfectly. He and his staff are very kind and patient. Thank you Dr. Hom for my beautiful smile! As one of the parents to this patient, we are very happy and satisfied with Dr.Hom’s services. We were well informed of the process and expectations as far as outcome of having braces as treatment to my child’s severe overbite. Office assistants and staff are really knowledgeable and overall nice. I would recommend Dr.Hom to my friends and relatives. Don’t hesitate to call his offive and request for an appointment to discuss your case with him. You won’t regret it.

Dr. Hom treated all three of my kids with complete success. The timeline on wearing their braces was consistent, and they all have beautiful smiles as a result. Appointments were so easy and quick (usually 10 minutes), and everything was paid in advance so each appointment was easy in and out. Even better, Dr. Hom never fell behind on appointments, so there was never any waiting or worrying. A great experience for all of us.

We had an incredible experience with Dr. Hom and his entire office. Dr. Hom took the time to explain everything that needed to be done to my daughter’s teeth and even gave us some options with treatment. He and his entire staff are extremely kind and professional. The office is highly efficient and appointments are timed so that you never have to wait (even for a last minute emergency). My daughter just got her braces off and has the most beautiful smile. Thank you, Dr. Hom!!!

Dr. Hom is very professional and knowledgeable. My son just got his braces off and his smile is incredible! During the whole process Dr. Hom and his staff have been kind, informative and patient. My daughter has just started her phase “2” of the process and her teeth already look straight. The team does an excellent job of explaining the different procedures to the kids (and parents) as well as reiterating the importance of good dental hygiene. Appointments run efficiently, with little to no wait time. I recommend him and his professional staff.

Dr. Hom was recommended to me by my dentist. Both of my boys went to him for braces and the final result for both was excellent! His prognosis on how long the process would take was correct each time. A couple of people in the dental field have told me that there are two orthodontists in the south bay that do the best work, and Dr. Hom is one of them! The only regret I had was that I didn’t send my oldest to him earlier, while he was in middle school. I didn’t realize that he could start treatment before all of his baby teeth came out. Because he is walking distance from Mira Costa High School, my oldest went right after school. My youngest is in middle school and I have been driving him, but wait times are pretty short except for the occasional emergency. His staff is always friendly and has always made accommodation for emergencies. Make that appointment now!

Dr Hom has been our family orthodontist for many years. First when our children needed braces and then for my husband and myself as adults. He is thorough and knowledgeable -considering each case individually, informing the patient of the options and recommending the best treatment plan for the patients needs. His staff is accommodating, courteous and efficient. Great outcomes and a very pleasant office experience is why we always come back.

Throughout the last 10 years I had my wife and 3 sons went to Dr. Hom for braces. On every case the results and the experience have been outstanding!!! The staff and the service are excellent and highly competent. My youngest son had a specially challenging case because he had previously lost a tooth towards the front of his mouth in a sports accident. Now he has a beautiful smile!!! We are very happy with the solutions and results obtained by Dr. Hom. We couldn’t have expected better. We highly recommend Dr. Hom! Hector Q.

I have 4 children and all of them have received excellent orthodontic care from Dr. Hom and his experienced staff. My third child just got his braces off today! Three beautiful smiles so far and one more on the way. Dr. Hom’s office is run efficiently and professionally. I have NEVER had to wait past our appointment time. The office is bright, sunny, and always busy. In my lengthy experience there, I have never been surprised by an unexpected bill or an additional charge. His contract is solid and he stands by his work. We are loyal customers and fans of Dr. Hom.
