Olympic Orthodontics

The office is awesome along with the doctor and staff. Very clean. Free coffee and nice waiting room while you wait for your child to be done. Always have parking. It is a busy office and hard to schedule appointments without taking kids out of school but the wait time is not long. They work with you on payment plans too. I have had three kids get braces with this fabulous orthodontist.

One of the good orthodontist in Bay Area.
My self and my wife recommend this one because we do have good experience about their customer service and all staffs works there every single of them have knowledge

Dr. J is the best! You will love his positive, caring and can-​do attitude! I am a dad of three kids and we all received excellent care from Dr. J and staff. From when I was a child every dentist or orthodontist said I need double jaw surgery. It wasn’t until Dr. J gave me the confidence to go ahead with the surgery. It is a very tough surgery but I felt with Dr. J being my orthodontist that I was in good hands. Every day I am thankful I did it, my bite is incredible and my teeth line up perfectly. For both of my children, Dr. J did procedures that were above and beyond what I have ever expected; he did it simply because it was absolute best quality of service he could provide. Never once, did I feel like I was being given less than the absolute highest care!
Olympic Orthodontics has the nicest staff and they will do their best to work around your schedule! They are all so caring it makes me smile! You truly feel like you are a part of the family! Thank you Dr. J and family, you have exceeded our expectations!

My son had asked many times to not go back, I wished I would have listened sooner. After 2 years with Dr. Johnston, I went to get a second opinion (which is totally normal in ANY medical field). The Dr. showed up at my home that night unannounced and uninvited and expressed his disappointment (I had never seen him outside the office and did not know him any other way than our orthodontist so my son and I were extremely shocked). He also had pulled my son’s tooth without consent and left cement along the entire bottom gum line. Second opinion!!!

Moved from New Mexico over a year ago 2013. Prior to moving I did a lot of research of an Orthodontist that would take over my oldest son’s braces and mine. Being that I was new to the city I was a bit nervous to go to any Ortho because I had been taken advantage at my previous Orthodontist office. I truly want to THANK DR. JOHNSTON (Olympic Orthodontics) and his Staff for making my transition smooth! Dr. J has not only been an honest person but a very caring professional that will explain step by step. My son had surgery with a periodontist and Dr. J went out of his way to leave the office to make sure that my son’s procedure was done right. How many Orthodontist would care for their patients that way. That means a lot to me and my family!
On another note: Office staff is wonderful and welcoming! Office is clean and with new technology. Waiting time from check in is fast. Scheduling has always been accommodating (Thanks to Maggie and Pat).
Lastly, This is the place to go! Reviews tell it all. Thank you Dr. Johnston! You are the Best! I could not ask for anything better and would drive miles away to see you! :)

I am so happy that I found Olympic Orthodontics! Let me tell you a little about myself, from third grade on I always had weird metal contraptions in my mouth trying to correct my crooked smile. It wasn’t until I was 24 years old that I found out the issue — one side of my lower jaw bone grew longer than the other side. So no matter what anyone did with just braces — the issue would never correct itself. I was able to get Jaw Surgery through Kaiser (Dr. Felice O’Ryan is a MASTER at her craft!), and orthodontics with Dr. Johnson at Olympic Orthodontics in Dublin. Everyone at Olympic Orthodontics is SOOO NICE! And they are truly dedicated to giving you your best smile. From the beginning Dr. Johnson was so helpful and caring — even after hours. I had a rubber spacer lodge itself under my gums and Dr. Johnson (on his free time) was able to tell me over the phone what to do to get it out. He also worked closely with my surgeon Dr. O’Ryan to ensure that my teeth would line up correctly after surgery. 2 years later I have a perfect smile! After years of being so self conscious about my crooked jaw + smile. I wish I had found out about Olympic Orthodontics when I was younger — they probably could have saved me a lot of grief!

I am a very picky person period. Dr. J, however, meets all of my expectations when it comes to my own teeth and my kids’ teeth. Not only he is an excellent orthodontist, he truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend him and his office. He has a bunch of very friendly and professional staff. He has the most updated equipments and the office is very clean and roomy. Dr. Johnston is an excellent and honest doctor and I am very happy to pick him as our orthodontist.

This review is long overdue. The treatment I received here over the past year from Dr. Johnson has truly been a gift. After a disappointing experience with another orthodontist in the area, I decided that I would eat the cost already invested in treatment, and go to someone that did things right. I was referred here by one of my dentist’s office managers whose son had been a patient of Dr. Johnson’s. I’m so thankful I cut my loses and came here. Dr Johnson is a caring professional, who has made sure that I received quality treatment. Every time time I stop in for an appointment, it’s clear that I’m not alone in feeling this way. His office is always packed with other patients, a strong sign of a great business. I would recommend this Olympic Orthodontics to everyone.

BEST! From the moment I made the initial appt, to the consult, to meeting Dr Johnston I’m thoroughly impressed!
They were accommodating, flexible and Dr Johnston is genuine!!!

I was recommended to Dr. Johnston from a friend. I could not have asked for a more professional, caring and overall exceptional orthodontist. As an «older» patient, I still was wearing my retainer at night. Sadly my prior orthodontist passed away. From the moment I walked into the office to the end of the appointment, I could not believe what a fantastic office this is. As a nurse, I have been around a lot of medical/​dental professional. Dr. Johnston is #1 in my books. Also, a beautiful, family friendly office and staff! I would recommended him to any of my family and friends! It is refreshing to see someone who really cares FIRST about his patients. Thank you Dr. Johnston!

I am the Colgate Rep for the bay area so I meet with about 10 doctors every day. After seeing Dr. J’s professionalism and friendly staff I chose to have my 12 year old son go to Dr. J! We even drove 40 minutes to Dublin to go see Dr J and his staff as I saw a lot of his work… Needless to say I am so very happy with my sons SMiLE… I will go see him again with my younger son!!! I can’t explain to you how important it is to find a good quality Ortho… Who specializes in straightening teeth… This is your smile for the rest of your life

After the previous review, Dr Johnston wrote a letter to us. He even contacted the Orthodontist that we ended up going to. He apologized to us for his behavior and communication issues mentioned in the original review. Even though his apology does not change what we went through, hopefully he realizes that and will work out better with other patients and families. I would give him two stars now for realizing and then trying to reach out.

My case is extremely complicated.
It’s an open bite that has seriously stumped the profession, (and don’t blame the orthos for not knowing anything, to be honest) and after four years of braces, I moved and began searching obsessively, and came across this practice!
My case was a «surgical case from day one» was what Dr. Johnston said, and no orthodontist in the Sacramento area discussed WHY my jaw was the way it was. When I asked Dr. Johnston, he said that my jaw bones had failed to grow. When I asked how long I would have to be in braces pre-​op, he said only a year — a year! I consulted with another orthodontist, who said I needed to be in braces FOR THREE MORE YEARS. I said, «What for? I mean I had braces for FOUR years, didn’t I?»
Anyway, I’m so happy I found this practice, and wish there could be more Orthodontists like him. Sadly, there aren’t many, and I know this well-​enough. With my case, orthodontists either are pushy and try to experiment on me (makes me feel like I’m a freak, when in reality, the profession is flawed) or don’t give a crap. Dr. Johnston treated me like a person and truly wanted to help me. I didn’t feel the need to «test» his knowledge in anyway and ask various questions, because I felt like he was confident and telling me all he knew. Too many dentists out there are cocky and think they are «professionals», but when a fireball gets thrown at them, they can’t duck quickly enough.
My case is will always be a reminder that orthos don’t know it all, and although it’s very hard for me to chew, I’m glad I have this skeletal problem. I hope orthodontists will ditch the «wait and see» approach, and move from retractive methods that can damage faces and increase unfavorable vertical growth. (I blame my own bad oral posture and an appliance I had when I was six from yet ANOTHER Orthodontist) It has been the cause of most malocclusions, I’ve learned. Excessive vertical growth has caused my open bite as well. At least I have the opportunity to re-​construct my face/​bite the way it was always meant to be.
I know that was a bit off-​topic but I just had to point that out.
Bottom line: Dr. Johnston is awesome!

For starters I just wanted to say that Dr Johnston is such a phenomenal orthodontist and he has a lovely group of staff members who genuinely care about you. I was referred to Dr. Johnston from my little brother who is extremely happy with his teeth after he got braces. When you first walk into the office you are always greeted by someone at the front desk and it is a very welcoming environment. You can help yourself to coffee, tea and other drinks.
I did not have really crooked teeth or a bad overbite, I just had tiny gaps between some of my teeth. Initially before I went into Dr Johnston’s office I thought I only had one gap but after meeting up with Dr Johnston he showed me I had more gaps than just one. We tried fixing it with retainers and at first it was working but braces were the better option. I didn’t have my braces on for too long.
Dr. Johnston and his staff are always keeping me informed of what they are doing and are always making sure I have no discomfort or pain. When I first got my braces on I was a bit nervous because of the stories I’ve heard but they really made sure I understood what to eat, not to eat and how to take care of my braces.
The staff there are accommodating, patient and understanding when I cancel my app last minute due to my school and work schedule. I’ve had to cancel last minute due to my school work but they are always quick to give me other dates that work better for my schedule and I can’t thank them enough for that. I go to San Jose State University and I take the bus to my appointment which is over two hours but every time I do, it’s totally worth it.
A couple of days ago I just got my braces off. I had them for only 6 months and after taking them off it feels like I never even had them on because it was so fast. I’m so thankful for having such an amazing orthodontists who really cares and will listen to your needs. He is always making sure his staff members are doing their job and you can see how they all get along. I’m really glad my little brother referred me because I’m more confident in my smile and I can’t stop looking in the mirror and looking at how straight my teeth are.
I highly recommend everyone to go here to get braces. You won’t regret it and you will receive outstanding customer service here. My cousin is now going to Dr. Johnston and so far she is having positive results as well. He is the best!
I’m just wearing retainers now and I have my next check up in 2 months

I’m not even sure where to begin when it comes to Dr. Johnston. When I was 16, I had looked everywhere to fix my issue when it came to my jaw. Because I was nearing my adulthood, many orthodontists would not dare to touch my jaw. To put some information into this review, on average, a man stops growing at the age of around 18. This is when your bones begin to settle in making it difficult for jaw treatment with braces and elastics. After having over ten different consultations with orthodontists from different cities, I found Dr. Johnston who confidently took on my case. At the end of the day, his intelligence and confidence in his work got me the results I’ve been seeking for more than over a year.
Other than what he does in his office, I got the opportunity to sit down and have lunch with him. He is definitely one of the funniest guys I’ve spoken to in my life. Dr. Johnston speaks his mind and voices his opinion which is what I absolutely respect about him because it relates to the type of person I am. Because I am seeking a career in dentistry, he has been nothing but supportive towards my goal. Because of the many different stories Dr. Johnston has told me, it showed me that if you put your mind and efforts into something, you CAN accomplish your goals no matter what the hardships are.
To end this review, his staff is nothing but the best, respectable people you will ever meet. I have referred over five friends and family to Dr. Johnston and they have all agreed with me that at a good cost, you will receive top notch results. I hope you all take the opportunity to see Dr. Johnston, he could possibly change your life like he did mine.

Great service! My daughter and I have both happily received care from Dr Johnson and his staff. He is very flexible with different treatment options and provided the effective treatment within a short period of time.

WOW.
I recently broke my bottom retainer and was looking for an Orthodontist to fix it. I found Olympic Orthodontics on Unilocal and decided to give them a try based on their great reviews. I was not disappointed! From the moment I walked through the door I was struck by the obvious care they take with both their patients and their office. Dr. Johnston fixed my retainer and had me on my way in under 15 minutes. He seemed to genuinely care and complimented both my teeth and my regular dentist.
I highly recommend this place!!!

I live in Sacramento, but my dentist recommended this place. Doctor Johnston really cares for his patients. I feel comfortable and I don’t feel like they’re trying to rip me off or recommend crap I don’t need. I love my smile, and no matter how many times I lose my retainer, it’s worth the drive to Dublin for another. Sometimes I feel like I underpay with all the great work they do.
Thanks

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND OLYMPIC ORTHODONTICS!
Here’s why:
I have not had braces in like 15 years (1990’s era) but I have a permanent wire attached behind my teeth from my orthodontist in Seattle. I now live in California and last weekend it felt like the wire had broke and the wire was poking my tongue.
I needed to find a local orthodontist quick, so I searched Unilocal.Olympic Orthodontics had nothing but good reviews, so I decided to give them a call.
I called the office on Monday at 11:30am and I was able to get an appointment the same day at 1:30pm. I was promptly seen by Ally and Dr. Johnston who fixed my wire and examined my upper and lower retainers. They cleaned my lower retainer and Dr. Johnston noticed that the wires on my upper retainer were broken so he is replacing it. Dr. Johnston also complimented my orthodontist in Seattle (Dr. Manley) for the fine work he did on my teeth.
Dr. Johnston and his staff were professional and thorough. I was out of the office by 2:00pm.
Had I been living in California when I needed orthodontic work done, I would have come to Olympic Orthodontics, hands down!

This place is simply awesome. Quick, thorough and great staff. They truly are the best, not only in town but I’d say the bay area. I’m 24 and it doesn’t even bother me that everyone else is middle school, this place is that awesome.
They have excellent payment options. No negatives.
