The Best Office in California!
Dr Curtis is The Best Doctor in World !! I highly recommend this ortho office for a beautiful result!
And Rachelle is Awesome !!!
Thank you !

Great Ortho ! Curtis is my orthodontist. I’ve been coming here for two years now. Everyone is super friendly and the office is very clean and up to date. The people in the front are sweet and Rachelle is awesome! It has been a very long journey with my braces. My teeth are getting so straight and I can’t wait to get my braces off so I can show my fabulous teeth off (:

I have known Dr. Curtis for 4 years now. They take good care of me specially that I have really severe TMJ Rachelle makes sure I am not in pain and also listens to all of my picky comments, She is so nice and sweet to every one I always ask her to stay as awesome as she is.

Whenever I need to go to check up for my braces, the staff is super friendly and very kind. They make my checkups enjoyable!

Got my upper braces on August 10. Dr. Curtis is very nice. I like going to my appointments.

Had to do an emergency visit for both girls… they got us in today and I just called this morning! They are so accommodating! Love this team! Thanks Dr. Curtis! Hopefully we won’t have many more emergency visits to come…

My oldest son is having a great experience here. He is in phase 1, with expanding retainers to give him space for his adult teeth. The doctors have been great — I especially appreciate that they speak directly to my son instead of just to me! And the office staff are unfailingly courteous and friendly. We definitely recommend this office if you need orthodontia work.

Tagawa & Curtis Orthodontics did a great job on family members years ago which is why it was recommended to me. I’m coming from LA but its worth the curteous, friendly office. Yay for a beautiful smile!

Dr Curtis and dr Tagawa are great. They are caring, professional and excellent. I got Invisalign with them and now I have both my daughters getting orthodontic treatment with them. They are so great I drive an hour just to bring them to this office. Other places just don’t compare to the excellent service provided here!

We have had four children pass through the doors at Tagawa and Curtis Orthodontics. The entire staff ROCKS! From the office staff to the technicians and both doctors, I can think of no other place where I would want to have my children treated. We don’t live close by and make a 15+ mile drive passing numerous other dental /​ortho offices to be seen here. They are friendly, knowledgable, caring and professional. You’re in good hands here at all times. To sum it up, Tagawa and Curtis No Ka Oi.

I have to update my review — over the last year & a half we’ve not had problems with his braces. His teeth are moving along great.
Also should say that the office staff is really great — very nice.
Can’t wait to see the final results, but in the meantime, I’m very glad we chose Tagawa & Curtis!

I am writing this review before my actual appointment.
Let’s just say I can’t wait to meet the receptionist. Wow! Such an amazing first impression. I left a email on their site to request an appointment for my son because they use the most up to date braces system Damon and Insignia. My call back was informative but most of all I already feel at home and I haven’t set foot in the door.
I will update my review after our appointment. I have high expectations now but have a feeling they will live up to it.

Dr.‘s Tagawa and Curtis are knowledgable, professional, and always nice. The entire staff is just like them. My daughter received the first phase of a two phase treatment. She received retainers and Damon braces. The improvement on her teeth and smile was fantastic. The office also has a great reward system to motivate the kids to keep their braces clean, etc. Looking forward to phase two when all her baby teeth fall out. I also got a retainer for myself. The best orthodontist around!

Dr. Curtis is awesome! My 18-​year old son had an impacted baby tooth that managed to navigate its way far up in the gum line — practically to his nose! Dr. Curtis helped correct this issue and after almost two-​years of braces, gave my son a beautiful smile. Thank you!

Tagawa and Curtis Orthodontics is a great option if you are wanting to get braces. Their expertise has never created any doubt for me. I had my braces for 18 months, and the staff did an excellent job with maintaing them. At every appointment they were concerned about the comfort of my braces, but also, they asked me about school and how I was doing. I never had to wait for a long time before they called my name and was seen quickly. The staff is extremely friendly, and their assistance was a significant help.
I gave them a four stars because I had return three times in the beginning. They had forgot to trim the end of my wire so it was cutting into my cheek. This most likely occurred due to my teeth moving. Nevertheless, this orthodontics will never disappoint you. Today, my teeth look amazing, and they truly made a difference towards my smile. I highly recommend Tagawa and Curtis Orthodontics!

My kids who just had their braces taken off 10 months ago notice their teeth are gradually going back to the positions before. Now I have to pay more money to do X-​ray and maybe put braces back. All for more money. If you can, don’t take them off even they tell you so especially if your kids are young. Their bones are not settle yet. Leave them on for 6 months to a year more. Here they ask you to sign a consent form when they take braces off your children so it is your responsibility afterward. What didi I know? I just listened to the doctor’s advice and did whatever they asked me to do. You would think they know EVERYTHING! Bad practices. I sure learned my lessons.

I have been patient of Dr Tagawa for 2 yrs. My experience has been very good. I had many problems with teeth but the Dr fixed all of them. His staff is very caring and considerate.

I can honestly say I can’t think of ONE single bad thing about this place.
I had to have braces not once, but twice due to an accident. First of all, kudos for them dealing with my brattyness when I first got them back on. I know I was definitely not a happy camper about getting braces again. The only good thing was I got to see people in the office again. The staff is the BEST. Everyone is so wonderful. The doctors are absolutely amazing as well. I’ve recommended a few people to come here and will continue to do so. I’ve never had any problems with my braces either.
If you want a beautiful smile & meet some of the nicest people ever, this is the place to be.

This is a great place! The staff is friendly, and they know how to take care of teeth! Three of my kids went through this office, and their smiles are brighter for it. It’s near downtown Brea, but there is always ample parking. I definitely recommend Tagawa and Curtis if you’re looking for a solid and friendly orthodontics experience.

I figured I should update my review now that care has been completed.
Things at Tagawa and Curtis started out great, as I pointed out in my previous review. They were organized and informational and all that.
But then once I decided to go with them for my orthodontic care, I felt like the level of care dropped greatly. One thing that bothered me greatly was that their schedule was not very flexible. I am a grad student with a pretty busy schedule, and it was really hard to find appointment times that matched my schedule. They also want you to schedule visits wayyyy in advance, which was hard to do when my school ran on a quarter schedule and I wouldn’t know my schedule 2 – 3 months out. It seems like they are open late enough (5:30 is what the website says), but when it comes to scheduling appointments it always seemed like the latest appointment was around 3, maybe 4. I would take this into consideration if you have a busy schedule or even just work a regular 9 – 5.
Then there was the periodic visits. Why did it feel like every time I had an appointment I would show up 10 – 15 minutes early, but then end up waiting 10 – 15 minutes past my appointment time to be seen? And if you don’t have an appointment (for example, rubber band popped off, anything broken, etc), be prepared to WAIT and WAIT. No matter how simple the repair may be. I was also disappointed with how little time the doctor spends with you versus the time spent with the dental assistant.
Granted, they still make an effort. I got a call a day or two after I got my braces on asking how I was doing and tolerating the pain and discomfort. That’s nice. The same phone call took place after a pretty harsh tightening of the wire, too. That was nice, too. But these ‘nice’ gestures were too few and far between all the negatives.
Everything I stated in my previous review still holds true. The initial appointments were great and the wooden nickel program runs throughout the course of treatment (I think I got $ 20 in target gift cards – not a big dent on the thousands I spent there).
I also do want to point out that I get compliments on my smile and teeth frequently. So the end result is there. I just don’t know if I enjoyed the journey very much.
