We had such a great experience with Dr. Ehsani at San Marcos Orthodontics! We are new to the area from New York and so grateful to have found this office. They were able to get us in for an appointment within a week of calling. Even better, they scheduled my son who’s in high school, orthodontic consult and cleaning on the same day—super convenient.

What really impressed us was that they were able to take scan, X-rays and start his braces that very same day. The whole process felt efficient, organized, and stress-free. The staff is very friendly and warm and made both of us feel comfortable from start to finish. Dr. Ehsani is very professional and efficient. The office felt like family .
