PATIENT REVIEWS

I love my smile and be more confidence because of them, the team, Dr. Montano himself, and Dr. W. If it weren’t for them I wouldn’t like my smile as much as now. I did not regret going to them for help bring my smile back. The team are so nice and they treat you like you are part of their family. I do recommend going here its a life changer even for me.  I’m so glad to meet them, I’m so happy with my results and smile again because of them. For what I’m trying to say is that if you need help bring your smile back this place is where you get your smile back more handsome than ever. You will not have the same result in other places but here. They make you feel good about yourself. They would give you points for wearing the Montano shirt, good attitude, and being just in time.

WOW, Montano Elevated Orthodontics is the best dental office I’ve ever been to. They work fast and very professional. They have the best technology available. Suzanne was very very helpful and Dr. Montano is “THE BEST” period!. I am very happy i came here and I’m not going anywhere else, I’m bringing my daughter Karly and wife and will recommend them to ALL my friends and family. THANK YOU Dr. Montano.

Everyone is so nice there, from the moment you walk in and leave. Always accommodating and understanding. Gentle and so very patient. We have loved our experience here and highly recommend them!

Dr. Montano came highly recommended to us by friends, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and results we received at Montano Orthodontics. My 12-year-old daughter and I were both patients, and are very happy with our new smiles. The staff was always friendly and warm, and we felt that our questions and concerns were always answered truthfully and completely.  Would highly recommend Montano Orthodontics for quality care!

My 12-year-old daughter and I were both recently patients of Dr. Montano and Dr. Wright. I had a great experience using Invisalign, and my daughter just recently had her braces removed. We are both extremely pleased with our results, and can’t speak highly enough of the friendly and professional staff. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff always took the time to answer our many questions and concerns. Would highly recommend Montano Orthodontics!

I have been a patient at Montano Elevated Orthodontist for a year and a half and I can easily say they are one of the best one’s in Bakersfield! Never have waited more than 10min for my appointment, they are understandable and listen to any concerns you may have with your teeth. I will 100% recommend Montano to any family or friends!  Thank you Montano for my awesome experience

I would love to share my experience at Montano Orthodontics. This was the very first place I decided to go with when I realized my child needed braces. I am beyond happy with the treatment provided and the care that was given towards my child for the last few years of having braces. They are always very nice to my child always made her feel comfortable and that’s something I definetly look for. My child has had her removal and her teeth are amazing amongst that. Dr. Really takes advance care to find the perfect plan for you. Accounting and finances are also very flexible and will manage your needs as much as possible! Everyone always has a smile on and the environment is perfect for everyone. If I was you I would choose Dr.Montano for sure.

I’m still smiling and I’m not even the one who had their braces removed. I would like to share my experience with everyone and say that I am so happy that I chose Montano Ortho. My daughter went in for care and came out extremely happier as we seen amazing results. Apart from that they always helped me throughout any questions or times needed to maintain the best treatment for my child. He provides very professional care and uses the best advanced care out there. The environment provided there is beyond amazing. You will not be disappointed. They are very detailed with helping your child if you are going in for children. They make sure to explain step by step care for them and provide parent with useful information as well and always. I hope I can come back in and choose a treatment for myself. Thank you so much Dr. Montano!! My daughters smile transformation is incredible! 5 stars for sure!

Both of our daughters had fantastic results with Montano. For me, at age 50, I had an overbite that was wearing a groove into my front teeth so I consulted with Montano and found traditional braces would be necessary for around 2 years. Although the journey was tough I am glad to see it through and today it was all worth it. The Montano staff is extremely professional and kind, even when causing the necessary discomfort braces bring. Some positive side-effects of the braces were no snoring and no episodes of TMJ. Thank you to the entire staff of Montano Elevated Orthodontics. I promise to wear my retainers.

My braces are finally off! Montano and his team did such an amazing job! He was recommended to me and never bothered to research other orthodontics; im glad I didn’t!! Always very friendly and professional staff. Staff always made me feel comfortable Always addressed any concerns I had and made sure i was happy. The results were immediate, thank you Dr. MONTANO AND STAFF!!! I will miss you!!

I just got my braces of 1 1/2 years off today, and the experience was great. The office is always very clean and even specially decorated, as well as the very kind staff and Orthodontists. I personally started with crowding and crooked teeth, but now my teeth are straight and beautifully aligned. Montano Elevated Orthodontics is always honest and love their jobs, so have no reason to rush, or ask for unnecessary payments/steps, and it is the place to trust. I also happened to finish with my braces journey half a year early, although that is just my experience. I was also kindly offered a free teeth whitening just for writing this review.  My appointments were always out in the open center of the office, not feeling embarrassing at all but actually less serious and “enclosed”. Surely recommend! Love my new smile!

I was doing a lot of research on where to get my braces from and my coworker recommended I go see Mr. Montano. After getting my consultation and speaking to him I thought it was the best choice to get my braces with him. I got Invisalign instead of the traditional braces and after 14 months I can finally feel great about my smile. I thought the employers were very professional and friendly which made it very comfortable. I truly felt valued by them and they addressed any concerns or questions I had. I would highly recommend.

We have just completed orthodontic treatment for FOUR children with Montano Elevated Orthodontics! My first two children had quite crooked teeth and spent several years each in braces. My next two had less crooked teeth and they were each in braces for just under two years. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and I was confident that my kids were receiving good care. They are all satisfied with their smiles! I would really, REALLY recommend wearing the given retainer every single night. My oldest child lost his and has never gotten it replaced, and his teeth have shifted quite a bit. It really makes a difference.

I Will be starting my journey on the 6th but my first experience at the office was about two weeks ago. The the staff was amazing super friendly they were always smiling they talk to me like they knew me. I love that about this office. You don’t feel awkward just sitting there. The girls really make you feel super comfortable and I love that so as I continue my journey I am very glad that I chose to start my Journey to a better smile here

love this place! they take thier time to make sure you and your child are well informed and ready to start your journey to a beautiful smile. All the staff are friendly and everyone is so pleasant. Thank you guys!

Finally after many years with braces I got them off! I wanted to get braces because I was always nervous about my teeth. I didn’t think my smile was really pretty. But after I got them off I can’t stop smiling. I feel so pretty and happy. I decided to chose Dr Montano because I heard many good things about him and I trusted the reviews. I am very glad I did! The team and staff there were always so kind and I always felt comfortable there. Never once did I felt like an odd one out. They were extremely professional. Once you start going to this orthodontist you will be happy you didn’t choose another! My advice to others is make sure to wear your rubber bands and brush your teeth everyday. Also don’t be afraid of getting them. After you get them off, you will always feel good about your smile!

For the past two years, I’ve been working with Montano through this journey of having this perfect smile. I finally feel more confident and absolutely can’t stop smiling. Throughout the process, everyone was generous and professional. I would absolutely recommend them for anyone. Thank you montano for the experience.

I used Montano orthodontist for my daughter a few years ago and her smile is beautiful. As an adult, I was Unsatisfied with my smile and decided to do something about it. There was no question where I’d be going. The staff are so professional and Dr. Montano and his team create the most beautiful smile in town! The experience was wonderful and I’m more than satisfied with the results.

I just finished my Invisalign journey and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. Dr. Montano and his team are all extremely kind and professional. Prior to my treatment I didn’t realize I had additional issues with my bite and teeth alignment. Now I feel much more confident and love smiling. I would highly recommend Montano Elevated Orthodontics for your smile journey.

Dr. Montano treated our daughter with Invisalign and her teeth turned out beautifully. So when it came time for our son’s treatment we naturally turned to Dr. Montano, once again. Our son’s teeth required a little more work, and he is not our “attention to detail” child, so we chose traditional braces for his treatment. I liked that Dr. Montano did not rush us into treatment. We did several consultations with local orthodontists when our son was in third grade to discuss a potential issue. The other orthodontists were overly eager to begin immediate treatment. I knew that my young son was not responsible enough at age 9 to properly care for his teeth with braces, nor would he have been responsible enough at age 11 when he got them removed to diligently wear his retainers. Dr. Montano was not pushy, and genuinely cared about the treatment process, which began when our son was in the 6th grade. The 2 year timeline was met even with the missed appointments during the Covid shutdown. When they reopened I felt they handled the new Covid guidelines very well. The scheduling/receptionist staff has always been very friendly, helpful, and informative. I especially appreciated their effort to immediately get my son seen when there were issues with poking wires! His smile looks fantastic and we could not be more pleased with the results.

Montano elevated orthodontics is the best place to go if you are wanting to get braces for the greatest results. Today they finally took off my braces and I couldn’t be any happier! I can’t stop smiling!

I came to Dr Montano for braces as a child. The experience was so great that 20 years later, I came back with my own child. He went through 2 and a half years with braces and in that time, I have ZERO complaints. He had a few things unexpected come up along the way (pokey wire, loose bracket) and I was always able to get him in same day for a quick repair. Dr Montano and Cardall all both amazing and their staff is just as good. I am so happy I went with them for my sons braces. Should any orthodontic needs ever come up again, I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly, highly, highly recommend. Affordable, respectable, professional, knowledgeable, friendly and caring…they really are all of those things. Thank you Dr Montano!!!! We are forever grateful for the beautiful smiles you have created!

Dr. Montano and his team are the best. I started my treatment with Dr. Montano right after I had a treatment and my braces off by a different orthodontist. Dr. Montano is seriously the best, he fixed all the mistakes the other orthodontics did to my teeth and bite and now I’m very satisfied with my smile thanks to his work. The scheduling and appointments were smooth, I never had to wait long to be taken in and the staff was very friendly and professional. The place is very clean and well maintained. I definitely recommend Dr. Montano!

I loved my experience! I always HATED my teeth. I had what I called “vampire fangs,” and my bottom teeth were completely crowded. Unfortunately my insurance didn’t pay for my braces so I was paying out of pocket. I thought that meant braces would be impossible but they gave me a free consultation and different  options for a payment plans. I was happy because now I could finally have straight teeth! And to my surprise the Invisalign and the metal braces were the same price so of course I went with the Invisalign. I’m extremely happy I went with Montano Orthodontics because tall of the staff I’ve seen were very knowledgeable and explained everything I had questions about. They were also extremely nice! I truly recommend coming here if you’re looking for braces!

Dr. Montano was able to help our daughter achieve the perfect smile she had always wanted. We are thankful for his education and experience because fixing our daughter came with medical challenges that normal patients don’t have. Initially we went to Thurman Orthodontics, as his office was very popular with the high school students. However, Thurman refused to help our daughter as he was not confident enough to accept the challenge. Dr. Montano not only accepted the challenge, but did a great job without surgery. Our daughter was supposed to have a horrific surgery. I prayed and prayed. Our daughter was committed to doing her absolute best, and she did. Working together our daughter and Dr. Montano created a miracle as our daughter was healed with an expander and braces alone. Dr. Montano is a blessing to the residents of Bakersfield.

My son got his braces off today and we could not be more pleased with the results! Dr. Montano and his staff have been awesome to work with over the last few years but even more so during the last year during this pandemic. The office is very clean and has been updated to protect patients and staff. Everyone in the office are kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend Montano Elevated Orthodontics to everyone!

z7Extremely professional, friendly and overall outstanding orthodontia facility. Montano’s facility is equipped with state of the art technology and the staff is very knowledgeable and well trained in their field of expertise. I would highly recommend Montano for all orthodontic needs. The last 19 months with Invasaligns was an overall positive experience and finishing my treatment today was an absolute joy.

From when I first got my braces to when I got them off, the service was amazing . If I had a broken bracket or loose bracket they would be able to put me in the following week or early next week, when I came in to get my braces off I met Melinda L. She was doing her job and having basic chit chat with me until I started cracking jokes with her, that’s when she started to act more as a friend then an employee. When I got my braces clipped off and my glue was being removed, Melinda dissappeared for the rest of the session while the main doctor was talking to me and telling me that I’m going to get my x-ray and retake pictures of the aftermath of getting my braces off. Then when everything was done I walked outside and saw my car was broken into and I also saw Melinda walking away with my dog. P.S. The last part was a joke me and Melinda made.

My son got his two year treatment with Montano and we are so happy with the results. A friend recommended us and we saw the great results from past patients. The staff was always so professional and friendly. This place is always clean and well maintained. The process was stress- free and fast. Everytime he had an appt. It was fast and they updated us with the process. My son got his braces off and he is so happy and confident with his new smile.

I I recommend Montana elevated orthopedics , my daughter would’ve had her braces for 4 years but she had only had them for 2 years, we are so proud with the results. Thank you Montana elevated orthodontics

I just finished my Invisalign journey and I couldn’t be happier with the end result. Dr. Montano and his team are all extremely kind and professional.

I would highly recommend Montano Elevated Orthodontics for your smile journey.

BRILLIANT!! We could not be more pleased with results! My 15 year old son just finished his 2 year Invisalign treatment and WOW! Didn’t think it was possible for his teeth to be PERFECT! Before we came here, we were at the top Ortho in Orange Cty. where he was doing a pricey and lengthy retainer treatment which did not work. The appointments took hours, were hard to get, office was crowded and he lost it 4 times until we moved here and discontinued the treatment for a few months.  We went to our dentist who said he absolutely needs to have braces and recommended Montano Orthodontics. My son wanted Invisalign and did not want braces. I didn’t think it would be possible due to the level of straightening needed, and the fact that we stopped initial retainer treatment but Montano Elevated Orthodontics made it possible from day one! This place does the impossible! I did not need to remind my son once, he did everything on his own as they made it as easy as could be for a young person to do their at home treatment and he finished in less than the time frame of 2 years! Who does that? I highly recommend this office! Worth every penny and then some! Reasonable prices, highly skilled efficient staff, minimum visits, in and out, no wait and all up to date modern, state of the art equipment!
