Ron Greenspan DDS

I took two daughters to Dr. Greenspan. We had the following problems:
1. Too expensive. We switched when it was time for retainers, and we saved money.
2. Long waits for treatment. Sometimes we were there for over 2 hours.
3. Dr. Greenspan is not a nice person. He was rude to me, and my daughters. He treats his staff very poorly.
4. Dr. Greenspan is particularly not nice to women. He refused to explain my second daughter’s treatment plan to me. My ex-​husband had already signed and paid, and Dr. Greenspan said that he had already explained it to my ex.
5. There is a revolving staff. The hygienists last 6 months to a year.

Great experience for first my daughter and then I decided (Mom) to get braces again after gradual movement from when I had braces as a teen. Very nice staff and professional treatment. I love that he has his own panoramic X-​ray in-​office so there is no delay getting current x-​rays. He has taken get care of both myself and my daughter and trust his experience to recommend him to anyone looking to have a new smile.

I was very picky when choosing an orthodontist to have braces again for the second time. This time as a 27-​year-​old adult, I wanted premium services to make sure it was done in a timely manner with excellent results. It is usually hard to find a doctor that meets your expectations but I can honestly say that Dr. Greenspan and his staff more than exceeded my expectations.
I got my braces off today and the results are unbelievably amazing! We were exactly on schedule and stuck to the timeline he gave plus the results delivered all the changes I was expecting. Many of my other friends who got braces as adults were initially told a few months but in reality their treatments got stretched to over a year for a touch up! Being that I had already had braces before and my teeth were relatively straight, I was expecting only minor improvements but boy was I wrong! Even though I already had a good smile before, I still got pretty dramatic results and my smile went from good to amazing!
Not only were the results amazing, but the journey getting here has been as comfortable as it can possibly be. By that I mean that they take extra care to be thorough in the little things such as making sure to file down wires so that it doesn’t poke you, being flexible with scheduling around your busy schedule, always greeting you with the friendliest and most professional staff. Even today when I got my braces off Jessica and Dr. Greenspan were extra thorough in making sure no cement was left behind. I remember my first time getting braces the ortho left so many traces that I had to go back to the dentist to get it all off.
This staff definitely sets itself apart from other teams in so many little and large ways. I would highly recommend that if you like to get things done efficiently and done right, this is the place to go. I got every penny’s worth. Thank you Dr. Greenspan and the entire staff!

i was so happy to know that we are done with him and his office. i feel bad for the girls who works there as they seem not happy at all to be working there. he is a money lover and will try his best to rip u off.

Curious why Unilocal has filtered 20+ something reviews, and only allows 2 reviews to stay for my Ortho. Unilocal makes no sense at times. I had straight teeth but a challenging alignment issue due to a previous surgery. There is no one else I would have trusted to get the job done. He has the top of the line equipment in a very clean, modern office. Parking is always easy. His system for scheduling is automated and helpful with e-​mail reminders sent before each visit. His business is all the way around very service oriented. He really considers all approaches and thoroughly discusses his strategy before implementing.
His staff is personable at each visit, professional, and knowledgeable when assisting him. He has gone over and beyond with his follow up, and care. I honestly can’t say enough about the progress I have seen thus far. I had a tricky case. I am done, and am already elated with the results. My kiddos are in line to see him next. I do refer him to anyone in need of braces, and will continue to do so. To have proper alignment makes me giddy, and was well worth having braces… again…at my age.

experienced staff — my second child is in braces and doing well! would totally recommend Dr. G

For my 27^th birthday, I treated myself to braces. Something I’ve been wanting since my smile affected my self esteem. I visited Dr. Greenspan based on the referral of my dentist, who spoke highly of him.
I have now been a patient of his for over a year. I cannot think of one thing that is not perfect with his practice. His staff is always nice and accommodating. He was always able to see me, even if it was a same-​day appointment. The equipment he uses is state-​of-​the-​art, and you can tell he spares no expense. He is EXTREMELY knowledgeable. Just take a look at his credentials and experience! I would trust no one else.
If I could do it all over again, there is nothing I would change.

We just finished treatment for our 13 year old and we couldn’t be any happier. the service that we received at Dr. Greenspan’s practice was superb. The staff was friendly and competent, appointments were available at the time we needed them and there was not much waiting in the waiting room. Dr. Greenspan is always very honest, doesn’t try to sell you braces if you don’t really need them. I have a second daughter that may need braces (she goes for checkups with Dr. Greenspan every 6 months) and there is no doubt in my mind that if she does end up having braces, this is the practice to do it at.
I highly recommend Dr. Greenspan’s office group. We could not have been more pleased with our experience.
Thanks,
Noemi

Hi! Today, after just getting my braces off, I feel fantastic. I have to owe it all to Dr. Greenspan and his staff. Each time I went to the office everyone was very warm and welcoming, and they were great to talk too! No matter how much I was frustrated with my braces for the short period of time which I had them, the happiness I feel now is completely worth it. My teeth could model for an ad! Thank you so much Dr. Greenspan and everyone else who fixed my teeth and made them look like this. :)

One kid down, one to go. And we will definitely go back to Dr. Greenspan for the second one.
Where to start? Dr. Greenspan is a perfectionist. Everything from the look to the bite will be flawless before he decides that the treatment has concluded. And I mean ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS. He nitpicked over micro-​millimeters with kid #1 and insisted on extra treatment (at no extra cost to me). I appreciate that kind of attention to detail; after all, why bother with expensive orthodontia at all if it’s not going to be done right.
He does not nickel and dime his patients — we decided on a price at the beginning of treatment and Dr. Greenspan stuck to that price — no matter what — to the very end. His fee was very reasonable (note: we had estimates from two other popular North County orthodontists that were higher, although all three were comparable price-​wise. We chose Dr. Greenspan based on two friends’ recommendations).
Appointment scheduling was never an issue even though we had to cancel and change left and right. When a good portion of your clientele is school age kids with extracurricular activities, I’m sure it is a challenge to fit everyone in. Still, this never seemed to be a problem for this office. Appointment changes were made easily by phone, and sometimes at the last minute, unfortunately — but hey, stuff happens. Dr. G’s office seemed to understand that pretty well and always tried to accommodate us.
This may be a minor point, but I like that his office is located in a shopping center with a Vons and a hardware store. I can get stuff done if it will be a long appointment.
My kids like him and his staff. Maybe minor, but this was important to me.
And very minor, but still — he has an EXCELLENT selection of good up-​to-​date magazines in the waiting area (plus movies running for the kids!)
Overall, a really positive experience with excellent results. He’s not cheap, but would you really want a «cheap» ortho treating your kid? Yes, we dropped some dough, but I will happily do it again for kid #2, who deserves nothing less than the best.
***UPDATE 4÷25÷11: Kid # 2 is now done with braces also! And yes, we went back to Dr. Greenspan. I am happy to report that our experience with #2 was just as good. Greenspan really is the best.
It’s easy to give a service (such as orthodontia) a great review just after it has been completed. The real test is, how does the job look and perform years later? Kid #1 still has a fantastic smile and bite. No shifting, no problems, perfect outcome. Kid #2 looks great too… and I expect he will look and feel just as good in the years to come.
This is what I paid for… perfect and FINAL results. There are a lot of orthodontists out there, but you can’t convince me that anyone is better than this orthodontist. Tried and tested, two great outcomes, and now I can say that I have given BOTH kids the best.
