Monterey Bay Orthodontics

Dr. Criswell is the best there is! Are you looking for an Orthodontist where you will feel at home? Not only is Dr. Criswell super nice, but he is GREAT at what he does! Dr. Criswell does an amazing job at making you feel comfortable. He walks you through every step and is very gentle. He will make you feel like he has known you for the longest time. We absolutely LOVE Dr. Criswell and refer our friends and family.
Although the trek from my house to Dr. Criswell’s office is a bit far, it is truly worth it! The attention to detail, perfectionism, and professional service provided is in a class of its own. My daughter was born with cleft lip & palate and he has been instrumental with the care for her needs. My youngest son now has a full set of braces.
The staff are extremely nice, professional and caring with kids. Look no further and schedule your appointment today. You will not be disappointed with the experience. Your friends and family are sure to be impressed with your NEW SMILE!!!
The hours are flexible and accommodating with offices in Salinas, Carmel and Monerey.
Thank you to Dr. Criswell and his AMAZING staff!!! We love all of you & couldn’t be happier.

I had two phases of braces with Dr. Palma and Dr. Criswell and I love my smile! The time they took into making my teeth perfect means so much to me and shows how much they care about their patients. The staff is all so friendly and I highly recommend this practice! They really are amazing people.

Dr. Criswell is the most fastidious, meticulous, and ethical doctor I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. His confident and reassuring manner left me relaxed and sure that my daughter’s bite and teeth would be beautiful. After undergoing the treatment can say without any reservations that her teeth are as beautiful as they could possibly be. The front desk staff go of out of their way to ensure the appointments are scheduled correctly and timely. I especially enjoyed Connor for his efficient handling of all our appointments and his great sense of humor. Thank you Doctor C!
