PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. John Redmond and his team are fantastic and all about results. I have seen them for braces as well as their affordable in-house Invisalign which I am currently wearing (no one has noticed!). Dr. Redmond is extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and not intimidating to the little ones. His staff is very friendly and makes sure you are comfortable at all times. Laurie, in particular, has helped me countless times with questions and repairs to braces, retainers, and Invisalign in a quick and efficient manner. She’s my absolute favorite! Both Dr. Redmond and his staff clearly explain each part of the process, never leaving you worried. I highly recommend this place to everyone with orthodontic needs, your future smile will thank you 🙂

I have been going to Dr. Redmond since 3rd grade, he and his whole staff are the absolute best. Everyone there is super nice and friendly, and every time I visited them they always made sure my braces were comfortable. Whenever there was an emergency they were always able to fit me in. Not only does the Redmond company support you, but they also support my old middle school and current high school. If anyone is wondering what orthodontist to go to, Redmond is the perfect place for you.

Big Kudos to Dr. John and everyone at Redmond Orthodontics in San Clemente. After having braces in college and then losing my retainers several years later I realized why the orthodontist gives you retainers in the first place. Over several years my teeth started to move all over the place. I knew it was time to get my smile back when I started my own business and wanted every competitive edge I could get in Orange County. After doing some serious research from friends, the internet, dentists, etc. Dr. John Redmond was an occurring name. My initial consultation was a delight. I decided to choose their office for several reasons-the ladies in the office are always very welcoming, their office is super clean (!!!), the Invisalign process was a breeze, the back office staff are all Registered Dental Assistants, Dr. John is a true professional that takes his craft serious, they offered me easy financing options and low monthly payments, I always had my questions answered and never waited when it was my appointment time. I really can’t say enough great things about how happy I am with the final results of my smile. Definately going to wear my Invisalign retainers this time.

We love Dr. John Redmond and his entire staff. I have one child that just got out of braces and another in braces right now- so we have been coming to his office for the last 3 years. All the people that work at his office are so friendly and it is a pleasure to go in for the appointments. They are quick and have even gotten us in the same day that I call when my kids have a broken wire or something is poking them. Dr. John is also a huge supporter of our elementary school and a lot of other schools and organizations in the community- I love supporting local businesses that contribute to our community and Dr. John does!! We are extremely pleased with his work! Dr. John Redmond is the best!!

All three of my children went to Dr John. They have beautiful smiles! We couldn’t be happier. We love seeing the same consistent smiles from his staff over the years. It says a lot about Dr. John that he has had many of the same staff members over the past 15 years that we have been there. Thanks Dr. John for the great experience!

In summer of 2016, I walked into Dr. Redmond’s office and was warmly greeted by Laurie, one of his Registered Dental Assistants. It was later than normal office hours and despite her long day that was ending, she welcomed me and took my contact information and answered every question with an empathetic, warm, patient-centered approach that sold me. At that point I had not spoken to anyone else in the office and had no idea about the others including Dr. Redmond, but I was certain this orthodontist office was for me based on Laurie’s friendly, caring attitude. Within a week’s time my appointment had me introduced to Lindsay and Dr. Redmond. Both Lindsay and Dr. Redmond discussed my orthodontics and his approach to bringing my smile to its pinnacle. I already knew it was a complicated procedure since other dentists did not want to attempt it. Dr. Redmond heard my concerns with a confident, yet prudent approach that left me thinking this is more than a business for him. His quote, “This is what I do. This is exactly why I went to school for all those years. We will be OK.” Meanwhile, Lindsay was present to arrange and discuss all my financial concerns. With Dr. Redmond’s approval, we timed my purchase that best fitted my tax friendly HSA, and Lindsay deserves plenty of credit for communicating very clearly the steps necessary in order to maximize my savings. If it wasn’t for Lindsay, I would not have had the financial means to start in summer of 2016. She is a great problem solver that does not fret if issues arise, rather she takes on the challenge as if she is working for her own family. It is now Spring of 2017 and after multiple visits, approximately 6 weeks apart, Dr. Redmond and his staff are as kind, warm, conscientious and flexible as they were in the beginning. How many times have I seen in my 49 years of life a business change their attitude once being paid? Not here. This tells me their collective congenial approach is genuine. As of late, I’ve been working with Beth, another registered dental assistant, who is as professional, friendly and genuine as they come. Her personal approach to me as a client always makes me feel appreciated and cared for. I’m not simply another person/customer, but a living real person with life’s problems. Her gentle, caring attitude sharing a little about her own life makes the experience real. Desiree is often at the front desk and is ready to clarify any financial issues that may arise. Although I haven’t had too many contacts with her, she is very approachable and sweet. Once I had a financial question and she took care of it with ease. The fact I haven’t had to talk with her since then speaks volumes of the entire process. For any business, the most valuable asset is the human capital. Dr. Redmond is fortunate to have Laurie, Lindsay, Beth and Desiree as well as a number of others I have had limited contact with. Individually they are superb at everything they do, but synergistically they make a team that reaches even higher levels of success. I would highly recommend, without hesitation, Dr. Redmond to anyone needing professional orthodontic support! 5 stars all the way!

John Redmond and his staff are amazing! I have two kids, both needed braces. I did my research and had consults with 5 other orthodontists before choosing Dr. Redmond. The quality of what they use, their treatment approach, the way they treat their clients and the homey feel of their office sold me…..and they did not disappoint. Their teeth look amazing!! The staff is so friendly and Dr. Redmond really listens and they are all so good with kids. I would recommend them to anyone and have. My neighbors, sister and school friends have chosen him as well. They are best of the best!

This is an update. Dr. John took on my rather complicated case, after a newbie “Invisalign specialist” made an unholy mess of my teeth. The process of correcting that mess took much longer than he could’ve foreseen… but, he never gave up on me. He isn’t just very good at what he does, intellectually top notch, the office is high tech, he’s also such a genuinely decent and good human being. There is no way he’s making money with me anymore, it’s his honor and good heart that carries me through this ordeal. Needless to say, he is top notch in Covid prevention. I have a slew of preexisting conditions and was horrified of going back and being exposed. He and his wonderful staff flipped over backwards to have me in early, masked up AND two hepa-filter air cleaners in the room, which is a new standard in dentistry, but you would be surprised how hit and miss it is to find those in dental offices outside of big cities. Yep, I adore everybody who works there. <3

I am so grateful I found Dr. Redmond and his team of friendly, professional and efficient team! State of the art precision equipment, clean and safe inviting offices, thorough explanation of treatment plan. And if that isn’t enough, affordable costs and payment plans. So excited to get my clear braces at 68 years young! Thank you for making it possible!

Dr. John Redmond & his entire staff are truly amazing. From the initial consultation through the braces removal process, it was a breeze. The front desk ladies are always warm & welcoming. We were given a time frame for how long it should take to make my daughters smile perfect and it was exactly on target.I appreciate the convenient after school hour appointments as well. My daughter thought the whole thing was super simple and easy. Fresh baked cookies after her appointments were a neat perk. Thank you Dr. Redmond & staff for our daughters beautiful smile. You guys are the best !!!!

Dr. Redmond and his staff are outstanding. Extremely professional very personable and welcoming. The office is immaculate, beautiful decor and the latest technology not subjecting patients to often unwanted impressions. As a dentist and mother I searched carefully for the best orthodontist to treat my own children and I’m very happy with my choice.

All 3 of my boys see Dr John Redmond and he is absolutely the BEST orthodontist EVER! My husband is a dentist and was VERY picky about finding the right orthodontist for our kids because although ortho is common, it’s really important to select a Dr who is knowledgeable and experienced to prevent unwanted complications. After visiting every ortho in town we chose Dr Redmond! He shares my husband’s view of conservative treatment, is extremely knowledgeable and the added bonus is that he has the BEST staff anywhere! Dr Redmond and his staff are professional, friendly, always on time and most importantly they really know their stuff! We recommend this office to everyone we know because there really is no comparison! They are hands down the best ortho office anywhere!

Luke had an accident at school today. He bumped heads with another kid and his lip hit his braces so hard it ATTACHED. We took him to John’s office directly and Laurie was able to coax him into getting it unstuck himself ( He was too afraid to let Laurie or Mom and Dad do it) She is always so loving and the care and compassion she and Krista showed him made ALL the difference! We LOVE Dr John and his staff so much and KNEW to take him there first before the ER. Dr John was not in office at the time but saw us as we left. THANK YOU ladies and Dr John for having the BEST staff ever!

We love John Redmond Orthodontics and recommend them to our friends if they are looking for an ortho. The front office staff is always friendly and welcoming, and Dr. Redmond really cares about his patients’ care. We’ve had two boys in braces through this office and a third is almost ready to begin his treatment, and I have nothing but good things to say.

Dr. John Redmond and his incredible staff are the GREATEST! Both of my daughters have had treatments at his office. One just completed phase 1 of braces and the other is getting ready to wrap up her 2nd phase. During every single visit of these phases, the office truly treats you like you are family and they all genuinely care about you. We have been absolutely thrilled with our experience and give Dr. John and his entire office our highest recommendation

I have been going to Redmond Orthodontics since I was a child. I had my braces with them as a child at Sr. Dr. Redmond’s office and all three of my kids have done their treatment through John Redmond at San Clemente. He is amazing with the kids and will address any concerns you have. The staff is very engaging and attentive. They make you feel like part of the family every time you come in. The level of customer service is unprecedented in a day in age where customer service is servery lacking. Its a breathe of fresh air. Dr. Redmond has also supported the SCHS boys basketball program for many years now and truly cares about the local schools. My last son is coming to an end with his treatment but who knows, maybe grand kids someday will go to Redmond! Don’t go any where else for your orthodontics needs!

I’m writing this review based on the EXCEPTIONAL service that my daughter received after our most recent visit. My daughter had been in some pain due to her new lower braces and we had run out of wax. I called the office on a Saturday morning expecting to leave a message and was pleasantly surprised to have the Doctor answer the phone!!! He talked me through everything and then… he offered to drop by OUR HOUSE on his way home to check on my daughter! Can you believe he was kind enough to offer!?  I know that this is not a normal response to a phone call, but I had to write this review based on how amazing the service was not only by Dr. JOHN but by the ENTIRE Staff! The office is always beaming with smiles and the smell of fresh baked cookies every afternoon. I can’t say enough about this office, their staff and especially Dr. John! Thank you!!!

I am so glad my dentist referred me to this office. They people who work here could not be nicer!! Dr. Redmond is a dream and makes the whole process enjoyable. He and his staff are honest and trustworthy and take the time to make sure you understand what’s going on every step of the way. This practice is soooo kid friendly!! Mine love coming here. Thank you to everyone who is a part of this amazing team.

We love Dr Redmond & all of his office staff. I highly recommend him to all my friends. My 3 kids have all gone through different process of braces which means our family has spent a lot if time in his office. He is professional, though, kind and honest. His office staff (front & back) is always so friend and very helpful. I’ve even a had so bunch of insurance issues and they keep working to help me get money back. They all are exceptional!!

Dr. Redmond creates the best smile in town.  He uses gentle orthodontics and vast experience (it’s a generational business) to care for his patients. Prices are affordable, they took my insurance, were willing to set up a payment plan for the balance if I wanted and processed my flex spending easily. The office is beautiful, clean and the parking is easy. They are current with technology which makes appointment scheduling and reminders very easy and helpful!  The office staff is first class. They have been with Dr. Redmond for decades – you’ll often hear that the parents are former patients whose children are now getting braces!  Laurie, Angie and Bethany are fantastic!!  My kids look forward to every visit. The office staff, Desire and Lindsay, are awesome as well!  Organized, friendly and knowledgable. They take the time to explain costs and insurance. Love them all!  Oh…  Dr. Redmond is pretty fantastic too. He’s a great doctor and a huge supporter of our community. Professional, honest and trustworthy. All five stars!!

My orthodontic journey began in elementary school working with Dr. Ron Redmond (Sr.) with two rounds of braces that brought me to high school with retainers. After a series of unfortunate events in college, including a cracked retainer and a root canal, I did what a self-important college-aged person does and I stopped wearing them/did not get them replaced. Allow me to stop for a moment to say: do not do this! Many years later, I was displeased with how my teeth looked and felt poorly about not maintaining the investment. I was able to see Dr. Ron Redmond again a few times as a brand new set of braces was applied (third time’s a charm!) and then Dr John Redmond completed my treatment. I must take a moment to mention how amazing the staff is here. There are people who had been there since my early years! Not only does this make me feel known as a patient, but that says a lot about the business to have longevity of staff. My mother even came with me to an appointment just to say “hi” to everyone after so many years. They take the time to listen to you and get to know you. They noticed when I walked in with an engagement ring on, and ooh’ed and ahh’ed when my fiance come with me at the next appointment. It’s a wonderful little orthodontic family to be a part of! Also important to me is the way they patiently and clearly answer any and all questions to understand treatment options and application. It makes one feel safe and understood. Long story short, I’m being a responsible adult now with straight teeth and I’m grateful for their professionalism and compassion to my plight. Moral of the story, take care of your retainers the first time or pay the price–literally and figuratively–for another treatment. But if you’re going to get orthodontic care, it should be from Redmond.

Yesterday was my first visit to this office and I couldn’t have been more pleased. It was buzzing with energy and they were very busy but greeted me and knew exactly who I was. They had the paperwork ready for me to complete, and provided me with next steps so I wasn’t sitting there without a clue. You can tell people really love working there, too, because the entire process was comfortable, seamless, and they really took the time to talk to you and get to know you as a patient and person. The tools and technology they use for x-rays, mouth scans, etc. are state of the art, including many options to choose from based on my need for ortho trays. Dr. John took the time to sit with me and helped workout any questions that I had. When I scheduled my next appointment it was easy to confirm via email or text message, too. I would highly recommend anyone, regardless of their age, to visit this office!

Dr. John Redmond and his team are fantastic and all about results. I have seen them for braces as well as their affordable in-house Invisalign which I am currently wearing (no one has noticed!). Dr. Redmond is extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and not intimidating to the little ones. His staff is very friendly and makes sure you are comfortable at all times. Laurie, in particular, has helped me countless times with questions and repairs to braces, retainers, and Invisalign in a quick and efficient manner. She’s my absolute favorite! Both Dr. Redmond and his staff clearly explain each part of the process, never leaving you worried. I highly recommend this place to everyone with orthodontic needs, your future smile will thank you 🙂

We have been going to John Redmond Orthodontics for the last 10 years. The doctor was able to treat my oldest daughter in multiple phases and save her from jaw surgery (which other orthos said was inevitable). My second daughter was treated in under two years. So we have experienced the long term multi phase treatments and the quick and simple treatments in this office. The doctor is knowledge and thorough, the team is incredibly kind and helpful. A gem if you ask me! We drive 30 minutes each way to be seen here and we had many other closer options when selecting the treatment and service. Highly recommend!

If you are reading all the reviews it’s because you are looking for a truly honest and experienced orthodontist that you can trust. I came to Dr. Redmond for a second opinion and after  our first visit he became our first choice for all future braces needs for my 2 children. I feel so lucky to have found him especially after my first experience with the previous orthodontist was filled with a sales pitch of fear.  It leaves such a bad taste in your mouth that when you find a truly extraordinary professional who wants the best for your child verses money out of your bank account or unnecessary procedures, you then realise that you have been blessed. I only wish more doctors are like Dr Redmond!

This is the best orthodontics place hands down! I would give them a billion stars if I could. I haven’t been there for almost 15 years however my retainer broke so I had to do something. I had first tired to glue my retainer back together, but it didn’t fit. I called for an appointment, they scheduled me for the same day! The cost to replace my retainer was lower then other places my friends had told about where they go. Any kind of dental work is scary, but as soon as I entered the office, I was greeted with happiness and familiar faces. It’s crazy, that many years later and almost the same staff! It shows you it must be a great place to work too! During my appointment, Dr. Redmond and his staff told me they may be able to repair my retainer instead. So I went home and after an hour of looking, I finally found it. When I came back over an hour later (I told them I would be be only 15 minutes), they again welcomed me with smiles. Dr. Redmond fiddled with my old retainer in my mouth for a few seconds and then took it to the back. He made some adjustments and sanded my terrible glue job so it was smooth again and voila! My retainer fit! They didn’t even charge me! Most places you go try to up-sell you on everything and here they were trying to not sell me. It makes me feel very confident in their service because they had a perfect candidate, already anticipating the purchase of a new retainer and they stopped me. I believe if they tell you a service is needed or better for you it probably is needed or better for you because they are not trying to make an enormous profit off of you. The way they handled me proves that. Thank you Dr. Redmond and team for making me smile 🙂

My daughter’s pediatric dentist referred us to another local orthodontist who he happens to share his office with for a consultation and after our appointment they were ready to put braces on her immediately and were more focused on selling the idea of braces to my daughter and how fun and wonderful all the color changes would be.  We questioned the decision and asked for a better explanation as to why, but the response still wasn’t making sense.  We opted for a second opinion and couldn’t have been happier making the decision to see Dr. Redmond.  He is honest, informed and has been seeing us every 6 months for about a year and a half monitoring her teeth as she continues to lose them.  Eventually she will need braces, but he didn’t try to sell us on phase 1 like another office had.  The staff is lovely and we appreciate the honesty Dr. Redmond provides.  When the time comes, we will absolutely be having her work done here!

John Redmond is hands down one of the best orthodontist ever! Please make sure your are seeing the correct Dr. Redmond! John Redmond. He has a worthless brother named Bill Redmond who is the biggest disrespectful asshole I ever met. After a very unpleasant visit with Bill I called Dr. John Redmond and he accommodated me right away. He apologized for my terrible experience with his brother and gave me the best care. He was so sweet professional and understanding. His assistant Lyndsay is the best as well. She helped me out when I really needed her. I highly recommend Dr. John Redmond and his staff! Not to mention my teeth are looking straight and fabulous!

Let me first say… What an amazing group! From the moment we walked in for Melissa’s phase II orthodontic appointment. Lindsy and Desiree were super sweet and professional. They made us both feel so welcomed. Once Edgar was done updating all of Melissa’s photos and X-rays I was invited back to join Melissa and meet with Dr John again. Dr John took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. Angie was so awesome her caring chair side manner and friendly personality made us feel right at home. Angie thoroughly explained everything to us from what to expect and how to use Ortho wax, once she was done. Thanks to all of you including Laurie who made time to say hello.

Dr. John Redmond and Staff are amazing!!! 3 of our 4 kids are patients of Dr. John and I really wish we would have seen him with our oldest son. The office atmosphere is always positive and fun. They are always busy, but we’ve never had a problem getting any appointment needed, even last minute. They are honest and up front about all costs and treatments needed. They are accommodating with payment plans. In San Clemente we have a lot of great choices for orthodontic care, but we have truly found the best with John Redmond Orthodontics.

My second daughter has started her treatment with Dr Redmond and his team. They are so knowledgeable and truly care about each and every patient and parent. We are so happy to be back. Our older daughter had extensive and detailed treatment and her teeth turned out amazing after many orthos said jaw surgery and teeth removal. We got 6 opinions before choosing Dr Redmond. Our second daughter is a much more standard treatment, but they even called to see how she was feeling the day after they were put on. I highly recommend them and drive 30 minutes each way to take my daughter. I rarely do that for any business!

If you are looking for orthodontic services with a clean office, professional and friendly stafff and a doctor who goes above and beyond… look no further.  John Redmond Orthodontics treated both my girls and their teeth look great! We recently had to return for the repair of a broken retainer and the staff went out of their way to get the retainer fixed in a hurry as my daughter was leaving to college. This is an amazing place to be treated as the staff is very personable and always makes you feel welcome. Dr. Redmond is very informative as to his plan of treatment and very willing to answer any and all questions you might have.

Best orthodontist in town. I had my braces here as an adult, then brought in my 2nd grader for his expander and braces….little brother is next. Everyone here goes out of their way to make your experience extra special. Dr. John does an awesome job with the teeth. Before comittting to this office I asked for a few recommendations from dentists and neighbors and it seemed to always come back to Redmond. I also remember the cost of braces being significantly lower than the other orthodontist in Talega that we interviewed. My boys love coming here and I enjoy my complimentary coffee 🙂 Big brother got his braces off today and he got a decorated candied apple as a gift, the staff even remembered about him being gluten free!

Everyone that lives in San Clemente knows of Redmond Orthodontics.  Because they have been around since …forever…they have built strong relationships and connections throughout this great beach city of ours.  When it came time for braces for both my kids, it was a no-brainer where to go.  The minute you walk into the door, you feel welcomed and taken care of.  The office is decorated with style and feels as if they put as much love into their work place as they do their home.  Every person on the staff is friendly, welcoming, and gentle to kids as well as adults.  I personally went to them to get a retainer behind my bottom teeth.  Being a little rough on this poor retainer, I can always count on Dr. Redmond to fix and develop a new strategy to better the effectiveness of the retainer.  They embody everything a orthodontist office should be.  Thorough explanation of plan of action and procedure is always given whether it’s braces or just a retainer.  I honestly can’t think of a negative experience or outcome with Redmond orthodontics!!

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
