Meet Our Board-Certified Orthodontists in San Marcos, CA
San Marcos Orthodontics is led by three board-certified orthodontists: Dr. Nader Ehsani, Dr. Sherry Sabet, and Dr. John Freda. Each is a Diplomate or Board-certified member of the American Board of Orthodontics, and together they bring advanced training in biomechanics, 3D imaging, airway health, and surgical orthodontics to patients of all ages.
When you choose San Marcos Orthodontics, your smile is in the hands of true specialists. All three of our doctors are board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a voluntary credential that not every orthodontist pursues, which means you are cared for by orthodontists, not a general dentist offering braces on the side. T
hey share one standard of care, a love for this community, and a genuine commitment to every patient who walks through our doors. With more than 160 five-star reviews, our team has earned a reputation as one of the most trusted orthodontic practices on the San Marcos Boulevard corridor.
Dr. Nader Ehsani
A Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and a professionally trained engineer, Dr. Ehsani leads our clinical team with a precision that comes from his rare dual background. He brings extensive expertise in surgical orthodontics and craniofacial care, has lectured around the world, and has been voted a San Diego Magazine Top Doctor for many years.
Dr. Sherry Sabet
A California native and Board Certified orthodontist, Dr. Sabet combines a warm, compassionate approach with advanced training in 3D imaging and evidence-based care. A University of Pennsylvania and Loma Linda University graduate, she is known for precise diagnoses, thoughtful planning, and a passion for community service.
Dr. John Freda
A Board-Certified orthodontist trained at Montefiore Medical Center, Dr. Freda offers personalized, leading-edge care with experience in clear aligners, digital workflows, craniofacial and surgical orthodontics, and dental sleep medicine. His own childhood experience with braces inspires the empathy he brings to every patient.
One Team, One Standard of Care
What unites our doctors is a shared philosophy: every smile deserves the attention of a board-certified specialist, every plan should be built around the individual, and every patient should feel informed and comfortable. Whether you need braces, Diamond+ Invisalign, early treatment for a child, or advanced airway-focused care, you can trust that your treatment is planned and finished by a true specialist.
