David W Johnson, DDS – Johnson & Jolley Orthodontics

The office staff is friendly and accommodating. I am an adult with braces with a very busy schedule and they were flexible and met my schedule. Dr Dave is the best! My teeth are almost done and look amazing. Better than I had hoped.

All around great experience and outcome. Fun, friendly, highly professional staff. Knew how to cater to me as an adult in addition to their many kids. Highly recommend!

i received a long response from their office about my concerns, they are very unprofessional, and I also want Unilocalers to know they released personal information to my daughters mom, very unprofessional. check out prices around, they are about 2k more than most other orthos.

FABULOUS people work here. My daughter just got her braces off and her teeth are PERFECT and her former overbite is completely remedied. We are getting her wisdom teeth removed soon (thanks Dr. Dave for the referral to the most caring oral surgeon in Alameda — my daughter loved her immediately and that means a lot: she will feel comfortable and confident with Dr. Wendy and her very nice staff). You cannot go wrong in any way, shape or form by committing to Dr. Dave or Dr. Loren and in fact, I HIGHLY recommend this family-​like office and I am so happy we took the word of referral to come here rather than the other ortho office across town — this was a wonderful experience for my daughter (in fact, at one point she decided that she would become an orthodontist after college!). Excellent service, care and people.
PS In re: the lone 1-​star «review,» if you met Cari in person you would know that she is most certainly not a yeller and is in fact super friendly and highly efficient. That review should be removed because it is soooooo far off base it sticks out like a terribly sore thumb. Cari goes out of her way to cater to each person she works with so no, that review is not appopriate.

Dr. Johnson & Jolley are the real deal! They were referred to me by my dentist and local Alamedians. And I am happy we have been referred here!!!
My daughter has been seeing them for a year now, her baby teeth just don’t want to fall out. During this time the doctor and staff have been extremely patient and caring to see this life changing event a great success.
My daughter feels comfortable in their care and has been counting down the days to get her mouth fixed, she loves it here.
The unique thing about this office, is that they take an impression of the patients teeth, then have some great technology to apply all the braces on at once, instead of one by one. Which makes less time in the ortho chair and less pain after, which makes for a happy teenager and a happy mommy.
All in all great patient doctor relationship and great service. I fully recommend them to anyone!!!

Both my daughter and myself owe our beautiful smiles to Drs. Johnson & Jolley!
My daughter started when she was just a young child, still sucking her thumb. She stopped because she wanted to get a retainer so badly lol She then moved from an expansion retainer to braces and now, with beautiful teeth, just her retainer at night. She’s 15 now!
I just got my braces off today after 2 ½ years and having orthognathic surgery and I am thrilled!
I have been a client and patient with Drs. Johnson and Jolley for many years and I am so happy I started with them from the begining. The entire staff is wonderful and super friendly. They actually care about your well being, not just the money you are bringing in.

Dr. Johnson and Jolly’s practice is superior — the orthodontic work resulted in perfect smiles for both of my kids. The technology to analyse, track and make the appropriate adjustments is cutting edge and helps the patient and parent understand exactly what is being accomplished and why.
The Doctors, and staff are all friendly and genuinely interested in the kids and their activities.
Karrie the office manager/​receptionist is phenomenal — always pleasant, helpful and on top of whats going on.
The prizes for the kids and parents arriving on time is a great incentive for kids and parents alike.
This practice is superior in every way.

See Dr. Johnson for an honest evaluation of orthodontia treatment for yourself or your child. I didn’t think that my son’s tooth would shift into place, but in no time it was in perfect alignment with his front teeth! The best staff, friendly and always helpful and two terrific orthodontists in Alameda. Simply the BEST! 10 stars!

I went to Dr Johnson 29 years ago and my teeth still look great, and both of my children have seen Dr Johnson and Dr Jolly. The entire staff is friendly, and accommodating, and do wonderful work! Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great orthodontist!

We are new patients here and couldn’t be happier. Dr Dave and his staff are all so great with my son. The explain everything to him in a way he can understand. I was told up front, at the initial consult, all of the fees and given a treatment plan. I also like that they don’t charge for consults even with the xrays they do. Great place!

Wow, could the be any nicer? And efficient, what a great team. Brought my son in for a look, X-​rays were taken with a consult, was given all the info and were told that we could wait a few years. Who knows if we’ll still be in town in a few years but if we are, we’ll certainly return. We weren’t charged for anything, can return every 6 months to check in and won’t pay anything until the program begins.

Although I never used his services, everyone that has tell me he is awesome. I do know of David from other business together & he is very friendly, easy to work with and overall a solid human being so please check him out if you need orthodontics !!!

Dr. Johnson and staff are top notch! The best of the best, like the ritz Carlton of orthodontics! My two kids go here and he takes the greatest care in assessing what’s best for them. Truly an expert, very knowledgeable, clean office, professional staff and a genuine caring of patients and also the community! I believe all the advice he’s given us so far is saving us big in the long run. He’s great with preventative measures and helping create a beautiful smile with the least amount of torture!
Thank you Dr. Johnson, keep up the quality work!

Dr. Johnson does amazing work, I can’t help but smile. His staff are the nicest group of people I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting. They all really care and take pride in their work.
Dr. Johnson is funny and professional at the same time, what more could you ask for. Oh and they play good music too.
Thanks for my new smile! :)

Orthodontia knowledge and related engineering have advanced significantly in the past few years, Readers-​and this office is taking full advantage!
My 13 y.o. just had his braces put on by Dr. Johnson today, and what a GREAT experience! Dr. Johnson explains to the kids exactly what he is doing using age appropriate language and terms. He makes them feel at ease and comfortable in the dental chair. In short: his dental «bedside manner» is AWESOME. This same level of caring and expertise is also demonstrated by his staff. When my son left today, he said he liked the office and everyone in it «a lot.»
Did you know this office is the only one in the area who fit the braces to dental impressions taken BEFORE actually putting them on? What this means is, instead of molding the braces to each individual tooth (a painstaking process taking hours) at time of install, they fit them into a «memory mold» taken from the initial set of dental molds. They pop this «memory mold» holding the braces directly onto the teeth. This creates «instant braces» for clients and makes the entire process pain-​free and faster for them to sit through. I was very impressed by this technique, and that Dr. Johnson consults with his colleague, Dr. Jolley over each patient file before their treatment plan begins.
The «reward incentives» they give for kids and parents to make timely appointments are worth it, and you can tell the folks working here really love what they do and enjoy working with the clients :) If you’re going to get braces, Dr. Johnson & his staff are the people to see! Braces are expensive anywhere you go, so you may as well see the experts using the latest technology!

All 3 of my kids have gone to Dr. Johnson for their braces and I must say that the results are beautiful! They are not cheap, but you get what you pay for. To me, it is totally worth it. Dr. Johnson is very friendly and his staff equally so, and also very knowlegable. They put the patient at ease and make having braces fun and cool, with all of the different colors of rubber bands, that you can coordinate with your outfits. I would totally recommend him to anyone who wants to have a beautiful smile.

I was referred by Dr. Johnson for my braces. As soon as you walk in you are greeted by the nice receptionist. You check in using a computer and typing in your last name. I like that :)
Dr. Johnson’s staff are super nice and Dr. Johnson is friendly and is also super nice. I’ve used nice three times. oh wait that makes it 4. But, really, I will have to come here for the next 2 years while my smile improves and I look forward to every visit! Oh yeah, if you keep your appointment slip they give you, you can put it in a jar and they do a monthly raffle… last month they had a digital camera. oh and I didn’t win :(
Next time!
