Larson Orthodontics

The issue with Dr Larson, has nothing to do with his skill as a Doctor, the Dental assistants during treatment, or even the price points (I received a student discount); the issue stems from the front office staff that handle the appointments, scheduling, and greeting.
By far they can be the most condescending, rude, unhelpful staff I’ve ever encountered. Their problem is not their words per se, but the disingenuous tone they use and lack of reasonableness. Today for instance (I get it, there are bad days, but when the exception becomes the norm, I’m writing a review) I had an appointment at 8:40am; I arrived at 8:40 checked in at 8:47 (there’s a line, people have questions etc.). Yet, because Im technically 7 minutes late I now must wait additional 30 mins for them to «work me in». You’re kidding me!!! I was pissed the entire visit, and if it wasn’t for Sandy I would have requested a refund for monies paid. They provided no reasonable rational as to why I have to wait additional 30 minutes, and continued to repeat sorry in their monotone robotic voice, it became more irksome as she continued, to were even the guest laughed at how ridiculous they were being.
I tested out this place, and I’ve decided that for my familial dental needs, we will be going to Riverside Dental Group in the Future.

Great staff. The new location and equipment is AMAZING! I had braces when I was younger and treatment now is much easier. Everything is digital.
I am 24 and just started my Invisalign trays today. Any questions I had were answered thoroughly. I go back in two weeks to get the «buttons» put on my teeth for the remaining trays. I’m excited to start this journey here!
I will update photos as my treatment goes on.

I recently completed my orthodontic treatment by Dr. Larson and his staff. I am off the wall satisfied with the results and the service throughout the whole process. Dr. Larson thoroughly explained my situation before I started treatment and followed through with everything in the time frame he initially estimated. He was realistic with me and told me what to expect throughout the process. Everything went as planned, and I couldnt be more thrilled with the results. Dr. Larson and his staff are naturally friendly and very efficient in what they do. I always notice Dr. Larson walking around the office engaging with his patients and staff in a very professional yet fun and relaxed manner, which I think is awesome. I feel very comfortable in Dr. Larson’s office and actually look forward to going in for my appointments. They also recently moved to a new office, which is absolutely gorgeous! I would honestly not think twice about referring patients to his office. The location, ease and flexibility of booking appointments, friendliness of staff, and my trust in Dr. Larson makes this an obvious 5 star rating to me.

I don’t even know where to start. Dr. Larson and all his staff are just the best. My son cam home on Wednesday I think and I didn’t even know he was getting his braces off. It was the best present ever that he well I have to say Dr. Larson have given us. I didn’t even notice. He just walked in and started talking and then I said Jimmy what happened and he said he wanted it to be a secret. It was a big secret. He went through a lot for his teeth. Surgery his mouth wired shut and now he is going to toung therapy. So that starts in January. So the things I have learned about braces and everything that goes with it is amazing. It just too bad that his Dentist died who started this whole thing won’t get to see the final result. But Dr. Larson and his staff are all remarkable. I thank u all for everything that u all have done for Jimmy and us. I will refer anybody to your office. Thank u all so very much. Now I can’t wait to see the therapist.

Taking people out of order because they complained. While we have to sit and wait longer because we’re decent. They reward the squeaky wheel. Waiting room is stinky, crowded and small.

Dr. Larson has an amazing office, with friendly and fun staff. We drive 30 minutes to his office because he is simply the best!
He always takes a good amount of time to address all of our concerns and let us know we are important to him. He is wonderful with kids, teenagers and adults!
I couldn’t recommend him enough.

My ortho, he is the best dentist ever! Whenever my friend ask about orthodontists I tell them about Dr. Larson he really is the best. He is really friendly and gets straight to the point. I am never going to another orthodontist unless they force me to leave.

If your looking for sure smile like I was then don’t come here. Only reason why I’m rating two stars. The plan was to start sure smile system after 6 months of regular wires then when the time came he said he no longer works with sure smile. Now I am stuck driving all the way to riverside just for 10 min check ups. Not sure if they charged me for the sure smile but I never got money back for not getting the sure smile treatment.

My son just finished his ortho treatment and we couldn’t have been more pleased. I did invisalign with this office as well. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Dr. Larson is very personable and truly cares for each of his patients. He works to relate with each of them on a personal level and brings a smile to their face even before their ortho work is done. Can’t help but love the home baked cookies as a treat for being on time.
As for someone saying that he puts you in braces too soon. I totally diaagree. He does what is needed for the patient. I have another son who has been going annually to consult on what the right time will be for him to start ortho. I thought for sure he would have put him in braces 2 years ago, but no. He has advised slowly on a few baby teeth removal over time and watches him on a 6 month basis now to determine when it will be needed.
We highly recommend Dr. Larson and his team.

We were recommend to Dr Larson by Dr Beam, him and his staff are amazing, my daughter loves going to her appointments, I’m so happy to have Dr Larson as my daughters orthodontist I know she is great hands.

Dr. Larson and his staff are amazing! He took over my daughters stage 1 braces when we moved here, and we’ve completed stage 2. Now she’s getting wisdom teeth out, and Dr. Larson recommended the oral surgeon. So sad to only see him for once a year checkups now.

My husband and I had both had braces with Dr.Larson. then I sent my sister. I’ve also referred so many patients cause he’s the best. Dr. Larson is such a caring doctor. I highly recommend his office for his great work and professional staff.

Gone through two kids with braces. Wish I had found Dr. Larson the first go around. From the initial consultation to the braces of photograph with Dr. Larson, we were extremely pleased.
Staff, facilities, and everything is state of the art. Now my daughter has an even more beautiful smile.
I myself am considering going to Dr. Larson to get my 50 year old teeth back in alignment. Yes, your teeth do move even after you’ve had braces!

It’s 2 am and I can’t sleep so why not write a review? I’m surprised there aren’t more as Dr. Larson and his staff are great and I’m sure they have plenty of satisfied clients.
I was recommended by a coworker to see Dr. Larson for braces and after visiting 5 other locations (this was when I had time to be very thorough!), I chose Dr. Larson’s.office. His office is a little more expensive than the other places I visited but the reason why I chose him was because everything he explained to me made sense. Also, you get what you pay for with new equipment, technology, super comfy dental chairs, a flat screen tv on the ceiling so you can watch cartoons while you’re getting work done (what?!) and great customer care.
I was told I would have my braces in for 2.5 years but they came off after just 2. I was missing a front tooth so he used braces to straighten all of my teeth, get rid of my under bite and used springs to make space for an implant. I had a seriously messed up smile before getting any work done; Dr. Larson even joked that he’d use me to advertise his office =/​but afterwards, I had a normal smile.
Lastly, you are given tokens for keeping your teeth clean that you can trade for prizes. I got a starbucks gift card and a box of crayons I ended up using with the kids I worked with before I was done. I would highly recommend Dr. Larson for anyone interested in braces.

I can’t say enough about Dr. Larson and his staff! My boyfriend is a police officer and has a very tricky schedule and didn’t want people to know he was going through ortho. Dr. Larson’s staff scheduled his appointments around his schedule and gave him invisalign (enough for 2 – 3 months at a time). I recommend all my family and friends to see Dr. Larson! Not to mention he has a great personality, his office is tech savy and he even has play stations for kids while they wait! Dr. Larson is so well educated and has advanced training!

Be warned!
This orthodontist likes to start ortho treatment way too early.
Dr. Larson started my daughter on ortho treatment when she was only in 2^nd grade. She had them on for a year and a half when we decided to relocate to O.C. The month before we moved Dr. Larson tells me she was finished with her ortho treatment. He takes her braces off and gives her a retainer. Her permanent teeth were still coming in!
Shame on me, I wish I would have gotten a 2^nd and 3^rd opinion.
Do your homework, don’t take his word for it!

My previous orthodontist had took off my braces too soon and my teeth were not completely straight in my gums. Dr. Larson notices this immediately before it had done any damage. I also have TMJ and Gerd. He is very accommodative and constantly is checking on my jaw due to my TMJ. I am now able to leave the orthodontist without having a locked up jaw. You have no idea what a great relief that is! I highly recommend Dr. Larson to anyone looking for a good quality orthodontist. Just my family and I alone have sent twelve customer and counting. Each customer we sent was grateful for pointing them to Dr. Larson. You won’t regret choosing his practice!

Dr. Larson is an amazing orthodontist. He utilizes the latest tools, technologies and methods. He did ortho for my oral hygienist and she has a great smile! everyone I know who he has treated has been 100% satisfied and it shows in their smile!
I might have to move soon for grad school and I am sad just thinking about the possibility of changing my orthodontist!
Aside from being excellent at what he does, he is also friendly, charming and just all around great with people, particularly kids! Go to him for a free consultation and you will not be sorry.

Dr. Larson is the premier orthodontist in the inland empire. He has special training beyond dental and orthodontic school which not only allows him to create beautiful smiles but also to create healthy function and harmony between the smile and the jaw joint (TMJ). He’s done ortho on almost my entire staff and he’ll be starting braces on me. He also has advanced training in computer assisted orthodontics and the use of mini-​implants to help speed and improve orthodontic results. If you’re considering orthodontics, you have to at least visit him for a free consultation before making your choice. You won’t be disappointed.
