This office is very clean, and the staff is always professional, friendly, and courteous. Dr. Hurst is extremely knowledgeable and provides excellent care and service. We are cash-paying patients, so the cost is significant since we are paying entirely out of pocket. However, I truly feel that I made the best decision by choosing Hurst Orthodontics. We have been very happy with our experience and the quality of care we’ve received. I highly recommend Hurst Orthodontics to anyone looking for excellent orthodontic care!

I have a pretty complex orthodontic case involving recession and bone loss, and Iwas been having a really hard time finding an orthodontist in California willing to take over and finish my treatment. I started treatment in Colorado almost two years ago and was also told I’d need permanent retainers. Dr. Hurst was able to get me in for a consultation within a day, and so far I’ve been really happy with how thorough, informative, and understanding he’s been. He was also able to start my treatment at the practice immediately the next morning after my consultation. Sarah the treatment coordinator was also very detail-oriented and took great notes when I scheduled my consultation.she also answered all of my questions and provided extensive information on my treatment plan and financial options. I haven’t finished treatment yet, but everything seems to be heading in the right direction so far. The Hurst Orthodontics hoodie was a cool surprise bonus too!
Response from the owner:Thank you Mikayla. We try our best to take good care of everyone.

My 3 children, husband and myself, have gone to Dr Hurst for braces. He and his staff are very professional, the service is fantastic, and Dr Hurst did a great job on our teeth. I just had a question regarding my retainer that I have been wearing for years, and I was treated very welcoming when I called for a recheck. Dr Hurst went out of his way to answer all my questions and more. His office is very inviting with all the decorations for kids, and different contests going on. I highly recommend Dr. Hurst!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words. We try our best to take good care of everyone. You and your family are always welcome in our office for retainer checks or anything else.

As a mid-60s patient, I had heard for years that Invisalign could not yet solve my lifelong crossbite. With age, the damage from the cross bite was accelerating (grinding, misdirected wear and tear, etc). After hearing good things about Dr. Hurst and some improvements with Invisalign, I decided to have a consultation with Dr. Hurst at the urging of my regular DDS. I am sooooo glad that I did! It was a long process, but it worked. After 3 years (my mouth was a total mess, so it took a while), the Invisalign plan from Dr Hurst was a success, and I now have a real bite! My DDS and I thought that the condition of my mouth would not have survived very well with the direct pressure of hard wires and clasps. My old fillings and crowded mess of a mouth would have been an invitation for a few root canals and caps. The gradual and softer process of Invisalign worked well, and allowed for a gentle crossing over and out of my cross bite.. Whew! Grateful to Dr. Hurst and his great assistants and office staff!! THANK YOU.
Response from the owner:Thank you Michael! It was our pleasure to help you. Glad your bite feels so much better! We couldn't have done it without your great cooperation!

The experience was interesting. The billing is expensive. And perhaps well worth it. All the employees were friendly and supportive. I would go back for braces.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the kind words. Yes, investing in yourself and your smile is worth it. It's the first thing someone notices about you. To help with the expense, we offer a variety of no interest payment plans and we don't nickel and dime you. Everything you need for a beautiful, healthy lasting smile is included.

Dr. Hurst and his team treated my son 15 years ago. I was Impressed then. So when it was suggested that I get orthodontic work, without a second thought went to Dr Hurst. The personal attention, warmth, giving back to the community, the true care that EVERY person there gives is to be commended. This is how you treat people. I wholeheartedly recommend Hurts Orthopedics.
Response from the owner:Thanks Monica! We try our best to take good care of everybody. We enjoy giving back to the community. It's fun and it's part of what makes North County the best place to live!
