Lyons Orthodontics

Great atmosphere! Very clean office and makes patients feel comfortable! Massage chairs in the waiting room too! All of the staff are very friendly and happily answer all of my questions!

If you are choosing to do orthodontics, this is the place to go! Great, clean, friendly office!!! Dr. Merriman is great!!! This is the choice for your orthodontic needs!

Dr. Lyons and his staff are the best. A few years ago, my daughter was referred for ortho treatment by her general dentist. After going to 2 other offices, I chose Dr. Lyons. The other two offices wanted to do pre-​treatment for my daughter that would be expensive. When Dr. Lyons examined her, he said it wasn’t necessary and she could resolve the issue that needed fixing naturally. Anyways, we waited til it was time to get the braces went back to Dr. Lyons. His costs were cool and well worth it. His staff are super nice, the office is super clean (including the bathroom), and his office looks amazing. They have video games for the kids, massage chairs, and tv. They even make awesome cookies and coffee/​tea everyday for patients and their families to enjoy, at no cost! I love going to this office. They are very knowledgeable about their jobs, my daughter’s teeth are looking awesome, her treatement has gone by fast, they get us in quickly when there are issues that need to be fixed inbetween appointements, and they have an awesome payment plan. In addition, once I’m done paying for the braces, I will never have another out of pocket expense, even with the retainer post treatment my daughter will need for life. I love this office!

Seriously if you are considering braces this is the place to go! Dr Lyon and his team are so nice! They are always in a good mood and makes you feel so welcomed every time. The consultation is so up front and honest and they tell you exactly how much it will cost and what it will look like. I am now a patient of theirs. I got my braces on in December 2012 and couldn’t be happier with the service. Don’t go anywhere else when this is the place to go!

In 2010, I was originally planning on starting orthodontia treatment with an orthodontist who had a satellite branch fairly close to me. I literally had my first appointment scheduled and had planned out how I was going to pay for my seven thousand dollar treatment (Which wasn’t going to be easy. They wanted half down and then payments on the rest).
Then, on a visit to my parents’ house in Cameron Park, my mother handed me a brochure for Lyons Orthodontics and told me she found it in her mail box and she knew I’d been shopping around for braces so she thought I should check it out because the brochure included a $ 500 summer savings coupon. At first, I was hesitant because I already had my treatment scheduled and planned out. But the coupon was attractive and so was the brochure to be honest. It was bright and colorful and had lots of information about the practice in general and seemed very inviting. A few days later, my mother went with me to a free consultation at Lyons Orthodontics. That was the first plus because my consultation with the other orthodontist cost me $ 30.
I was very interested in seeing what they had to offer as soon as I walked in the lobby of Lyons Orthodontics. This practice has one of the most friendly, beautiful, & Artistically decorated lobbies of any medical practice I’ve ever been to. It was sparkling clean with a jungle theme with all kinds of exotic wildlife painted and posed everywhere, including elephants, giraffes, and of course, lions! At the time I was working with exotic carnivores like tigers and lions and I absolutely love them so the lobby was my cup of tea!
After taking in the amazing lobby setup, the second thing I noticed was how inviting and friendly the front counter staff was. The term «bubbly» doesn’t even begin to describe these women. It is very apparent that they love their jobs and are treated well as employees and they radiate their happiness onto you. They greeted me excitedly and enthusiastically and told me the doctor would be right with me. It wasn’t one of those ridiculously long waits by doctors who over-​schedule their appointments either, it really was a quick few minutes & I had their undivided attention.
After meeting with Dr. Lyons and discussing why I was seeking treatment and what I was hoping to get from my treatment, I felt like he was genuinely interested in fixing what I believed to be my biggest physical flaw: my teeth. He was so empathetic to my self consciousness and I could tell he wanted to make it better for me. I had a horrible overbite that was always embarrassing for me all through middle school and high school to the point where I would avoid smiling if I could. Especially where photos were concerned. My teeth made me hate nearly every photo taken of me because of how bad I felt they looked. Dr. Lyons and his team wanted to help me. After looking at photographs of my teeth that they took, they described exactly what they could do to fix my major concerns.
I felt so much more at home at this consultation than I did at the other one. But when Dr. Lyons started talking from a financial standpoint, that’s what really got me to change my mind. What I would have paid over $ 7,000 for at the other orthodontist, Dr. Lyons offered me the same treatment for nearly $ 2000 less! Moreover, he didn’t ask for a down payment of any kind. It was simply, sign up, make your first payment, and that’s it. No tricks, no hidden fees or costs, no gimmicks, just an easy, consistent payment on the first of every month. My estimated payment was only $ 219 which was very doable. You don’t have to pay a dime at your appointments.
Needless to say, I was sold. I called my other orthodontist, and canceled my appointment. I scheduled my records appointment with Lyons Orthodontics and became a patient.
It has been two years since my braces went on. They are scheduled to come off in about a month and a half and the results I got for my money are truly amazing. Not to mention, the friendliness of the staff during my journey never faltered. EVERY time you go there, you leave in a great mood because of how amazing and friendly everyone is to you. I had half of my appointments at their El Dorado Hills location and then transferred to their Fair Oaks location once I moved. Both lobbies had the same theme and were absolutely stunning, with the same friendly service. The Fair Oaks office even has massage chairs to sit in while you wait to go back for your appointment.
It’s been a long journey during my treatment, & Lyons orthodontics made it as comfortable as possible, always making sure I had enough supplies on me to last between appointments, including the wax to make sure my cheeks didn’t get sores from the bracket irritation. I’ve got one payment left on my account, braces come off in November, and I finally have the smile I’ve always dreamed of having. Take that bullies!
THANK YOU Lyons Orthodontics. You guys are amazing and I will refer you to everyone I know!

I came here for a consultation after a friend recommended it and I am so glad I checked this place out.
You walk in and feel transported to a safari as that is the theme of this office. The front desk staff are really nice and while waiting for the doctor you can sit in a massage chair and take advantage of that. Those with kids, there is separate play area to keep them occupied.
My point of contact here has been Nancy and she is so easy to talk to, answers all your questions and has so much energy and always seems to be in good spirits. Dr. Lyons is easy going and answers any questions you might have and makes you feel comfortable, eases your fears. I have selected them for my ortho treatment and I will keep updating after my visits.
