Thurman Orthodontics Brimhall Rd, Bakersfield

Both of my older daughters need orthodontic treatment and I was referred to Dr. T by a friend. We started a year ago and after their first visit, my daughters were not ready for braces as they had quite a few baby teeth left. So Dr. T’s staff added them to his squad for free 6 month check ups until they are ready for braces. They were given cool T-shirts to have as a gift. This last check up, my oldest daughter was ready for braces. Price was good and agreed to start treatment. The environment at Thurman Orthodontics is awesome. Everyone is real nice and on time. It may seem busy in there, but they are quick to get you into a chair for exams, financing, and so on. My daughters enjoy it. Thankful to have chosen Thurman Orthodontics. Didn’t feel any pressure, and they were open and honest about everything.

The Thurman team has made having to get braces a great experience for my daughter. She was nervous, but after the initial appointment she was excited and even looked forward to her appointments. The Thurman team walks you through each step which is a huge comfort to my daughter. We were so happy with the experience that we got my son started on his journey to straight beautiful teeth! If you are looking to get braces for your kid(s) or yourself, I highly recommend The Thurman Team at Thurman Orthodontics!

Going into my consult, I was super nervous because I had never gotten braces before. However, the staff and environment at Thurman Orthodontics was so welcoming! All of my questions were answered, and I even got my braces on the same day! I always thought that braces would never be an option for me due to the price, but I was given a payment plan that worked perfectly with my budget. As I was getting my braces on, I was getting walked through the process step by step which was awesome! I highly recommend Dr. T!!!

I would recommend Thurman Orthodontics to any and everyone. They are so welcoming and willing to work with you. The office is so nice and very comfortable the environment is just something special. The team is great and wear these nice black glittery coats. The financial team is really great as well, they are sure to break down every little detail so that you understand everything. I would like to give a big thanks to the one and only Dr. T !

From my first consultation, everyone at Thurman Orthodontics was extremely nice and personable! The atmosphere is very happy, and they sure make every patient feel special and welcome. It makes the nerve wracking adventure of getting braces definitely worth it!

I’ve only came twice so far and they immediately made me feel like family! The staff made my son feel so comfortable during his initial visit and helped him understand how to care for his braces. The atmosphere is so nice, and I love the friendliness of the staff, I couldn’t ask for a better orthodontist for my family.

I had an awesome experience at Thurman Orthodontics. The staff is so friendly and is always ready to help. I am seen very fast. There is little wait time. I always leave my appointments satisfied with their services !! I definitely recommend Dr. T to anyone wanting to better their smile.

Our experience with Thurman Orthodontics has been exceptional! The entire staff is responsive, friendly, and very professional. When my daughter got her braces on, a staff member even called to check up on her and answered all of our questions. They are simply the best!

Staff is amazing and super friendly! Dr. T really cares about his patients. He supported my son when he went to Nationals. 3 of my kids have braces from Dr. T. Super affordable and welcoming.

My experience at Thurman has been wonderful. The customer service is just amazing. Everyone is so kind and quick to answer any questions about the process of getting braces. I'm excited to see my smile progress in the next 2 years.

We are very pleased with the friendly and efficient staff at Thurman Orthodontics. After consulting with a few other local offices, our choice was not a hard one to make. Thurman Orthodontics clearly stands out from the others. The office runs efficiently and values their patients' time. We love the atmosphere and are very happy with our decision to proceed with our daughter's orthodontic treatment here!

We recently took our daughter in to see Dr. Thurman. The whole team made our decision to start treatment so easy! From the moment we walked through the door, everyone was very friendly and efficient. We only waited a few moments to be called back, and from there it really went so smoothly! All our questions were answered and my daughter was very comfortable and actually excited to start her treatment that same day! Dr. Thurman was very personable and took the time to talk with us and answer our questions. We highly recommend Dr. Thurman and his welcoming team to anyone needing orthodontic treatment.

Totally wasted my time! Literally the Dr. knew the case with my teeth for over 2 years and when I came in the first time he offered to do treatment for $600 down to start new treatment while removing a different dentists work. I left and came back recently. So since I didn’t get my braces removed with Dr.T 2 years ago, now all of a sudden it’s to “risky” to do my treatment. They are full of it, I do not recommend! All about money but pretends to care.

They do such a great job. Very friendly staff and are quick. Definitely recommend them.My daughter was very happy after she got her braces put on. They definitely care about you and your smile :) They even called and checked on her a couple days after.

My son (11 years old) just got his braces. Everyone was very nice, and professional. They made my son feel welcome. Dr. Thurman introduced himself and had a little chat about what he will experience within the next few days, he added if anything bothers him at all to call in and they will get him asap to take care of him. It was a very good experience and we are Thankful!!

Thurman ortho thank you for your patience with my children. You have put braces on 2 of them as of now the experience I have had had been very rewarding my 14 year olds teeth are perfectly straight and he says going to office visits are painless and very fast. Not to mention the cool atmosphere with the people and the music just makes it a cool place to get work done. My 12 year old daughter says the same when it’s time to get teeth work done its no fight she wants to go thank you her teeth are straight aswell thank you Thurman for being so adaptive to all people you are the best

I highly recommend Thurman Orthodontics. My 12 year old daughter had 2 other consultations, Thurman's was her third consult. Once I called to schedule I knew immediately this was going to be our choice. The young woman on the phone who scheduled appointment was so nice and professional. Once we went to consult everyone was amazing, from front desk, financial, and back office. She got her braces on 07/19/2021, they called to check on her the next day. So far we are very pleased with their service and look forward to her next appointment.

We had an amazing experience in Thurman Orthodontics. Dr T is very nice and professional. Every person in the clinic are very friendly! Recommend!

My son started orthodont treatment in the month of February. Witch is all the commercial on the radio stated was required. For a free Apple watch. After he got his braces on we were told there was a minimum down and monthly payment required for the promotion. That was not specified on the commercial. So now I have to get my son a apple watch because Thurman lied

Great Experience at Thurman Orthodontics! Very Friendly and Courteous Staff. My son loves his new braces😬

We just got braces put on my son, so I will update when we finish treatment in about 18 months on results and our time here. We went to 3 consultations in one day and I wasn't quite sold on the other two orthodontists we went to see. Thurman was the last consult of the day and I was planning on going home and thinking on my decision and maybe even going to a couple more consults before deciding. Although we didn't meet with Dr. Thurman personally during the consult, the coordinator told us the plan that he had set up and the cost. The woman were working with (I can't remember her name) was so nice and answered all our questions. I had seen a special for $500 off and free whitening so she factored that into the price as well. They had a plan for insurance on retainers with only a small deductible if my son ever loses or breaks his retainers down the road. The place was very clean, the people were nice, and they seem to be popular because there were a lot of people getting braces adjusted while we were there. We ended up signing papers and getting braces put on that day. My son felt comfortable there and said that would be his choice out of all 3 places we had gone that day. Dr. Thurman came over to check that the brackets were all placed where they should be and introduced himself. Everything seems very organized and I feel good about our decision to trust them with my sons teeth!

The team at the clinic is amazing. Wait time is minimum and staff is very friendly. They explain everything thoroughly from appointments, finance, procedure and after care. The vibe at the clinic is kid friendly. My boys loved it there. Dr. Thurman assured my son that he will be there for him and explained it to him as a person. He addressed my son and staff listened to his concerns. Which was a positive point for me. I can text or call to make an appointment for my son if anything is bothering him regarding his braces and he will be seen at the earliest possible time which is in a day or same day. My son got his braces the same day , they made an effective plan for him and made him feel comfortable. I am very happy so far with my experience at Thurman orthodontics.

We love Dr. T and his staff! They are always so nice. This is our 2nd child to get treatment with Thurman orthodontics. As a momma it’s nice because they get us in on time and out really quickly but still make me feel like we are getting the attention we need. Patients get goodies when they get their braces on, and some candy they couldn’t have while wearing braces when the braces come off. Overall just a really awesome experience.

Took advantage of all the discounts offered by Thurman. Every consultation through out the years (my kids baby teeth were never coming out) has been swift and efficient. The staff is always friendly, the environment is always cleanly and mellow. Adjustments are quick. Dr Thurman always checks in and let’s you know what the had adjusted that day. My oldest is ahead of her treatment schedule and her teeth have improved SO much within the handful of adjustments that have been made. My youngest just received her braces 2 weeks ago and her teeth have shifted SO much from her first adjustment. Orthodontics is a trip. The changes for both of my kids have been awesome. We are so excited to see the final outcome when their treatment is complete.

Having had braces when I was a child I knew how important it is to have your teeth fixed. My son is 12 and has a hard time socially because he is self conscious of his teeth. As soon as you walk in to the office everyone is so friendly, they welcome you and offer you coffee which is so warming. The initial consultation was great, the staff are so friendly when my son was so passive. They explained the process very well. My sons insurance approved his braces and Kristin scheduled him in as soon as possible. When my son got his brackets placed the staff was so friendly and gentle. explaining the process as they went. We feel like family. Thank you to everyone involved to make this office run like a family.

My son started his braces journey last week and I am very satisfied with the staff and customer services at Thurman Orthodontics. One thing i hate most about any offices is waiting for long period of times in the lobby just to be called to the back, this was not the case at Thurman Orthodontic. Both apt we’ve had went by quick and smooth. I am glad I chose this office 😊 I would highly recommend this office. 10/10

I can’t rave enough about Dr. T and his staff! The professionalism, caring and informative attitude towards every aspect of his practice is absolutely top notch! I’ve had both of my daughters go through his office for braces and I plan to go to him for myself soon!

Staff was welcoming and friendly as soon as I walked in the door. While getting my braces they were gentle and asked me if I was doing okay. I did have a bracket fall off the next day but I was able to get it fixed right away. So far Dr Thurmans staff has been great.

Dr. Thurman and his whole staff are super friendly, caring and attentive. They even made sure to call my son the day after getting his braces to check on him and let us know if we need anything they were there to help.

This practice is beautiful. The office is open and welcoming, not at all like any Dr’s office I’ve been to. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Everything was thoroughly explained to me and my daughter which I appreciated. Neither of us had any questions when we walked out the door. Since having them put on we’ve received numerous communications checking in with us and letting us know they’re there to help. Such a friendly office.

Second time going to Dr. Thurman. My oldest son loved their office and my youngest is loving Dr. Thurman and his staff as well. Very professional, kind and they work with you to get a great smile! Very glad yo be working with their office!!

I’ve been needing braces for my whole life, but my mom could never afford them. Now that I’m an adult, I decided to jump into the decision and get my braces! My first choice was Thurman Orthodontics, and I’m so glad I chose them. First, I got a free consultation and it was so easy, photos and x-rays were taken right there and then. I was nervous, but I was easily calmed, everybody I met took their time to explain the process of everything they were doing. On the same day, I had x-rays done, gave me the results for my treatment, and then I got my braces. Super excited!!! I left there feeling so happy and I’ve never felt so welcomed before. Also, I don’t have any type of dental insurance, but that wasn’t an impediment. I was given an amazing payment plan of about $250 monthly which is not bad at all! I’m proud of making this choice for myself and I’m happy I chose Thurman Orthodontics, and I highly recommend them! Can’t wait for my next appointment!!!

Each time I walk into this place I am so impressed by the atmosphere. It's not the scary white-walled retro office your mom took you to as a kid. I just started getting treatment here for Invisalign and I am so glad I found Dr. Thurman! The waiting time in the lobby is always spot on, the staff is SUPER friendly, and Dr. Thurman is an awesome guy! I was very impressed with how swiftly the team got me in and started me on my treatment. If you're looking for braces and want a friendly and perfect experience go here and nowhere else!

The best Orthodonics I have been too! I drove four hours to see Dr. T for a consultation and they give you the option of starting right then and there. By far, I am so happy with how my experience went! The staff is all very friendly and they genuinely care for you. Also, they give you affordable options and they provide you with any support you may need! Excited to see how my treatment goes but overall this is the place to trust with your new smile and I am glad that I did!

Thurman Orthodontics is the place to go if you’re looking for that BEAUTIFUL SMILE. I made a consultation and came out that same day with my braces on! They have super flexible payment plans and work with all types of insurances as well as your primary dentist (no matter where you go). Dr. Thurman and his team are super friendly and answer any questions you have. I love this place & I recommend them too.

I was contemplating getting braces for a while now but was hesitant due to being 30. However, now that we’re having to wear masks I decided it would be fine wearing braces since they’d be covered up lol. I had been looking around for places that could be fast and done at a reasonable price, and since I’ve worked at an orthodontist before I knew which ones would stand out as most reasonable. Thurman orthodontics was the one that stood out as one that is all about teeth alignment and making the customer feel comfortable and welcome. They placed my braces on the same day I went in for an consultation. First I went in got some x-rays done and pictures taken, we went over the pricing and what was best for me then got my braces in place all done within an hour. ALSO after getting my braces on they checked on me via phone calls and texts about how I was doing with my braces, made me feel cared for and like I was very appreciated person which was so amazing. I’m excited and happy, can’t wait to have that big smile everyone deserves to have. Overall my experience was awesome! 😎 👏🏼

Thurman Orthodontics has been great! We were in and out within 2 hours. The ladies that put the braces on my daughter were patient and kind. They talked her through the process to help her with her anxiety. Then when we ran into a problem with the braces, they got us in, same day, to fix it. Couldn't ask for more from our first experience. We love Dr. T and his staff!

My daughter was scared about getting her braces on but the staff there were so good they really know what they are doing. That it made this experience so much smoother then we could have imagined. They made us feel right at home everyone is so nice. I would definitely recommend them. Thank you Thurman Orthodontics for giving my daughter the right care and making her feel really comfortable.

After not being a 100% satisfied with another orthodontist. I did some of my own research for an Orthodontist. After reading numerous reviews about Thurman office I called and booked a consultation for my daughter. They worked around my daughters school schedule. Once we walked in the staff immediately greeted us. Everything was so fast. It seemed like within 30 minutes she had her x-rays done and we were sitting in the consultation. They gave me the break down of how much it would cost and I wanted to move forward with my daughter getting braces on they offered that they could put them on now. As I was finalizing the paperwork they took my daughter back and started to install her braces. We were out of there within 2 hours. Everyone made us feel very comfortable and welcome to be there. I'm glad I made the phone call to Thurman's office. My daughter will have a beautiful smile within 14 months.

The staff was very welcoming and nice. Dr. Thurman was wonderful and awesome also. They treated me with kindness and followed up with me afterwards to see if I was doing good. If you’re going to get braces. I %100 recommended going to Thurmans Orthodontics!

I had the greatest experience at Thurman Orthodontics. I brought my son here after having an unpleasant experience somewhere else. My son was a little worried going to another office and having to get braces for a second time. However, from day one the staff has been super friendly and are always available to answer any questions we had. They made my son feel very comfortable and he has never felt any apprehension anytime he had an appointment. Today my son got his braces off and he loves his smile. We are very happy with the treatment and definitely will refer family and friends. Thurman Orthodontics is the best ortho place in town!!

I set a consolation in march and was very surprised how friendly and welcoming the staff was. Amanda duncan was who did my financial consulting and was very informative and friendly. The office itself is very cozy and makes you feel more at home the in an office. Straight after signing paperwork amanda said my daughter could get her braces that same day. That was a plus no need to wait for another appoinnent. While my daughter was getting her braces on dr thurman walked over introduce himself and made me and my daughter feel welcomed. All the dental asstaints were signing and laughing which makes for a fun environment.

Dr. T is the best. I've already starting recommending my co-workers to Thurman orthodontics.

I got my braces done at Thurman and just want express what a great experience I’ve had throughout my treatment and even after my treatment was complete. At one point I misplaced my retainer and needed it replaced. I had an issue and the office manager Dana went above and beyond to reach out to me personally to see what she could do to help . That kind of service speaks volumes I will continue to refer my family and friends to Thurman orthodontics where you don’t need to stress they will take care of you from start to finish and even after.Thanks again I appreciate all the kindness and care.

From someone who has had terrible experience with a local orthodontist office in the past, thank you for making my experience with my daughters braces so easy and fun! You guys are so caring with her! It is get appreciated! I definitely made the right choice when it came to my daughters orthodontic care. We feel like family. I 100% recommended.

We’re new to the area so when we had to start looking around for an orthodontist for my daughter, I asked on our local Nextdoor app...received a nearly unanimous answer of Thurman’s. After our initial visits, I can see why. Very friendly staff, from the reception area to Dr. Thurman himself. You can tell they are very ‘customer’ oriented and do whatever they can to make it as painless ($$$) 😉 an experience as possible. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Dr. Thurman and his staff to anyone looking for an Orthodontist for their kids or themselves. The entire staff has been very friendly and knowledgeable, and my son and daughter have been very much at ease with the entire process. We had initial visit starting 2 years ago and since then, my oldest son has gone through all this treatment and my daughter just got her top braces last week. This office has great customer service and I am confident that we made a great decision for our kids, and for our family! Thank you Thurman Orthodontics!

Love this place! They're so caring and patient. Love how Dr. T said he'd take care of my son as if he was his own. I really appreciated the post phone calls and emails to see how he's feeling after getting his braces placed. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get braces.

Dr. Thurman and his staff were amazing! The office environment was positive and upbeat. We originally went in for my daughter's consultation but after detailed breakdown of the procedure and how affordable this would be, we decided to move forward with the braces! My daughter's procedure was approximately 45 minutes, we received post-procedure care instructions, and follow-up advice. We recommend Dr. Thurman's office for all of your Orthodontic needs! Will consider doing business again for my other children!

And they did it again! Our daughter was so happy with the way she was treated here!! The staff is so kind and friendly each and every visit!!! So glad we brought both of our kids here.

We are parents who put braces on two children because we value customer service and quality care that much. Excellent! Excellent! Excellent customer service. The staff and Dr. T were so friendly and knowledgeable from beginning to end. The office was super clean with an inviting and calming atmosphere. We highly recommend Thurman Orthodontics.

Dr. Thurman is an excellent doctor! & not to mention his staff! The girls up front make you feel very welcomed and like family. His consultations are free and his prices are reasonable. I took my son for a consultation and I instantly knew I wanted him as my son's orthodontist. He is very friendly, easy going and extremely knowledgeable. My son loved him and we got his braces on the same day of our consultation! He has several different options of clear braces, traditional braces, Invisalign, etc. I also really liked his warranty on retainers afterward. Overall, I am very excited to have Dr. Thurman as my son's orthodontist.

Wonderful experience! It was time to get braces on both my boys and I was thrilled when I discovered that Dr. Thurman had opened a practice. He was my daughter's orthodontist at a different office years ago and I was very pleased with the results. The entire staff is professional and welcoming. It is actually a pleasure to take my kids to the orthodontist. They love it too! I HIGHLY recommend Thurman Orthodontics!

Dr. Thurman and his staff are amazing! We felt like family from the second we walked in. The office is so high tech and my daughter loves the fact that they have an entire i-pad area. Parents also feel very welcome and comfortable. You can tell that the entire office is designed to make you feel comfortable. My daughter was nervous prior to getting her braces on - the staff explained everything they were doing and gave her a chance to ask question before they started and while they were putting her braces on. Dr. Thurman came over and personally asked if I had any questions for him. He sat there and answered every question I had. They allow parents into the patient area which is pretty much unheard of. I love the fact that they are open to parents being involved in their children's treatment. Once my daughters braces were on she got to add her thumbprint to the family tree - she absolutely loved that and really made her feel like she is more than just a patient. She loves her braces and we cannot wait to see the finished results. I know Dr. Thurman is going to do a wonderful job and my daughter is going to have a beautiful smile. If you are looking for an orthodontist, look no further. Dr. Thurman is the only orthodontist I would recommend!

Since the first time we walked in to Thurman’s Orthodontics we knew this was the place my daughter was going to get her braces. It does not compare to any other place, from the friendly staff, to the attention and quality of service. You get the Individual quality care, by far the best customer service ever! First place we have gone to that does not make you feel like your just another number. Felt so welcomed and part of theThurman Orthodontics family! 💚

I was apprehensive about starting orthodontic treatment, after going to places and seeing possible treatment for my teeth. I decided to choose Truman orthodontics. They explain the treatments available to me and what would be the best for my teeth and my budget. I am truly so grateful to have found this amazing place and can’t recommend it enough.

I was looking for an orthodontist for my oldest daughter and some coworkers referred me to Dr. Thurman’s. We went in and the whole environment was awesome clean, and the office staff were all friendly and caring with smiles. Dr. Thurman explained everything and answered all of my concerns. With all of the Covid-19 that’s going on I’ve been hesitant to take my daughter in but when we were there they were very careful and sanitized every chair and made sure everything was ready for the next patient. We were in and out within an hour consultation and braces put on her. It was excellent service and would recommend to anyone.

Our children's dentist recommended Dr. Thurman's office to us and what really reassured me that his practice was the best choice for us was that our dentist takes her own child there. Since the time our children have started going there, they have received excellent orthodontic care. I have been impressed with how well everything is explained to me, and I have also been impressed with how friendly and professional everyone is. Another thing that stands out is the cleanliness of the office and last but not least, it is really neat how Dr. Thurman and his staff celebrates our children's achievements.

Dr. Thurman and the staff are amazing! They schedule appointments quickly, little to no wait time, everyone is friendly and professional. I wish all medical offices would take a lesson from Dr. Thurman's office. They're the utmost professionals and provide excellent orthodontic care.

Dr. Thurman very throughly explained everything that was happening with our daughter and also answered all of our questions. All of the staff is super kind and Brooke made sure my daughter was doing ok throughout the visit when they put her braces on. I also love that they called the very next week day to check in and see how my daughter was doing. They came highly recommended and we are very happy with our choice! Our youngest is going to Thurman also :)

After doing my own research on the best Orthopaedic office in Bakersfield. After reading numerous reviews about how great Thurman is I had to see for myself. I had been searching for an office to get my braces on & decided to make an appointment with Thurman. The min I walked in I noticed how clean and spacious the office was. Staff immediately greeted me. Everything was so fast. From the finance department to getting my braces on I walked out pleased. I am glad i did my research.

Thurman Orthodontics is a great place to get braces! I love how they where able to get me in for a consolation on the same day I called them. Everyone there where very kind and helpful, in just a couple of days I was able to get my braces on. I am very happy I chose Thurman for my orthodontist needs!

Hello I just wanna say how much my family and I absolutely love Thurman orthodontics since our very first visit! The staff their is super friendly, inviting,& beyond experienced and understanding of our needs every visit! The staff explains everything so detailed! The energy and smiles In that place is fabulous! It’s the best environment ever!!!! My first time there I was with my cousin who goes there regularly, and I was amazed so decided to make my son an apt and they got him in so fast! Since then we our now clients as well! Ty Thurman !!!!!!❤️

Thurman is great! My son got his braces about ten years ago, and his smile is perfect. Now my daughter just got her braces. The process was very easy and the whole staff is so nice! They have financing options, or you can pay outright. Everyone has been really welcoming! Thanks!

We had an amazing experience at Thurman Orthodontics with our oldest, so when our youngest needed braces, we didn't hesitate to take him to Thurman Orthodontics, too! As repeat customers, nothing has changed. The office is friendly, kind, professional, and helpful. They have always made our boys feel comfortable in every situation. Dr. Thurman is the best at what he does and has cultivated and unbelievably wonderful office environment for his staff and patients. Everyone is happy and that says it all! We will continue to recommend him. Thank you, Dr.Thurman and staff!

Thinking about getting braces at 27 was a nerve wracking feeling for me. I knew I wanted to have a nice smile but I wasn’t sure what to expect. I made an appointment online and was in the following week. (3/25) When I got to their office, I felt very welcomed. The girls in the front are so nice and greet you right when you walk in. I went through the whole process in about an hour & a half. It was just as quick as they said it would be. All my questions were answered and I knew this is something I wanted to do. The energy and everyone in the office was so welcoming and comforting. I went back a few days later (3/29) and walked out with braces. That process was also quick and they made sure that you were comfortable the whole time. Another amazing thing is that they know me by name!! Way to make your patients feel welcome and cared for! Highly recommend this office!!

Both our sons have received braces at Thurman orthodontics and have gotten great results. The staff is very nice and gentle. Always there when we have any issues. Great company.

My daughter is so excited to be going to Dr. Thurman. She was chosen to win free braces and is so grateful. She loves the staff and all the wonderful treatment she received. They even called the day after she got her braces to see how she was feeling. She is so excited for this exciting new journey.

Brought my oldest to start her treatment and the staff was awesome! They made us feel at home, safe and they where very knowledgeable. My daughter is very happy with her braces and can’t wait til her treatment is over to see her smile before and after.

I brought my daughter last year to have an evaluation and of course she need braces. At first, I was really hesitant because we couldn't afford to pay so much money for braces. I ended up taking my daughter again to see what options I had and they were really helpful about payments options and what I love about it is that every single staff member I seen they had a smile and were really nice.

My Wife and I were happy with our initial consultation with Dr. Thurman. After meeting his wonderful staff we decided to have them take care of our daughters braces. They called the next day to check on her which made us feel good. Thank you, Dr. Thurman!

Dr. Thurman has a wonderful staff. Your taken care of almost immediately. Your not waiting for hours. The staff makes you feel welcomed almost like your family. This team should be teaching customer service seminars. I haven’t experienced customer service like this in years. Dr. T is personable and available should you have a concern!! I’m very happy with my decision to have both daughters smile treated through Thurman Orthodontics.

Dr. Thurman’s office is super welcoming. They greet you with the biggest smile and are so kind, no doubt about that. The wait time was minimal, which was also great. I’m giving Dr. Thurman’s office 3 stars because my son and I didn’t get to meet him at the first consultation. We got to meet several of the ladies but not the doctor. The next reason is that the financial consultant was the one who explained the plan for my son’s braces instead of the actual doctor unlike what we experienced at the new place. At the end of the consultation, the lady asked us if we were ready to start the braces that same day and told me that they work fast. I told her that we weren’t ready that quickly and needed some time to review the plan. I felt quite rushed. One thing I don’t like about doctor offices is rushing their patients.

I totally recommend Thurman Orthodontics the staff is very friendly and very helpful. I went in for my consultation and got my braces the same day. I liked that I didn’t have to come in another day to get them done. They made the process very easy.

Thurman Orthodontics has a team of pleasant Individuals. Whether by phone, text or in-person contact, staff have been very kind thus far! Their office is beautiful and looks well maintained. If you’re considering Ortho treatment, I’d recommend booking a consultation with them.

We have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Thurman and all of his stuff. Everyone is super friendly, caring, and attentive. We are just starting braces on our second child with Dr. Thurman. Never had to wait longer then 10 minutes for them to call us back! Our first child’s brace journey was smooth. We always knew what to expect and her teeth look amazing.

Thurman Orthodontics is hands down the best orthodontic experience I have ever had. This place is extremely organized, fun, and very clean. Every employee I have encountered including Dr. T are kind, helpful, and treat you as an equal. Love this place, you will not regret trusting Dr. Thurman for your orthodontics. I have one son that get his braces off in a few months and another that just started and both experiences have been fabulous.

Finding an Ortho office was not an easy thing. We had numerous consultations, because I had two kids that needed to be taken care of and Ortho treatment is not only expensive already, but could also be a bit overpriced depending on the provider. Not only was Thurman one of my choices because of the cost, but also the staff! When I walked into Thurman, they were extremely kind, listened to my every concern with patience, and answered each question-no matter how many times I asked, with kindness and respect. They made my decision for treatment so much easier, and out of all the offices my kids had went to, they both said that they Thurman was the BEST ONE, so of course, that definitely helped make my decision as well.

Amazing atmosphere and services. Every single person made us feel comfortable and willing to help in way possible. The best part is the experience from start to finish. I loved them so much my second son is starting his journey now.

I highly recommend going to Thurman from the moment i walked in the made me feel at home i was so nervous and they made me feel safe and everyone is so nice and helpful I’m glad i found them! And i like that the checked up on me the next day after i got my braces put on to see how i was doing 💜

I wouldn't recommend to go to this place they are money hungry. First they give me referrals to go get some work done before they can help me now they wouldn't help me because I didn't sign anything or give their expert opinion for my wisdom teeth to get pull out which they told me to go do before I can get my clear aligners. I'm literally doing everything they have told me but they are not doing their part. Terrible customer service and disrespectful. Why are you guys in the field if you can't even help people? No, integrity there are better places here in Bakersfield.

Def happy and it’s only our second appt! I really needed the coffee this morning! Our initial consult was amazing too. Everyone is knowledgeable and friendly.

Thurman is the most professional orthodontist in Bakersfield that we have looked into this and the kindness of there staff is why we chose Thurman for our son's braces

Dr. Thurman & all of his staff are absolutely WONDERFUL! Everyone is friendly, kind, helpful and accommodating. They answer all your questions and concerns all the time. Will definitely recommend to others!!

My consultation was an amazing experience and the staff was super friendly and helpful. The energy when you walk in there is super cozy and fun! Weeks later, I came back for my invisalign & they walked me through it on how it works and had me practice to where I got the hang of it. Highly recommend them! Such great energy from walking in and walking out. Will be recommending Dr. Thurman Orthodontics. I'm on week 5 and already see shifting on my teeth. I'm excited to see what the results will look like.

My daughter has had two appointments so far and we LOVE IT. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The first apt was smooth & we went over a payment plan that suit us. After my daughter got her braces on the second appointments, they called to make sure everything was going good with us. Which we really appreciated. The saying so so true, you get what you pay for. For us it is peace of mind.

Our first orthodontist experience at Thurman was exceptional and they have continued to meet and exceed my expectations. They are so nice, fast, and efficient. My daughter feels so comfortable going there and she has previously always hated going to any dentist/orthodontist office. Thank you for all you do for you patients, we are so happy we chose Thurman.

We love Dr. T and his staff. Everyone is so nice and helpful. Highly recommend. Their early prevention program is the best.

So far this has been the best orthodontist we have seen! My (much) younger brother was seen by an other orthodontist is town a couple years before I started shopping for my daughter. I was not impressed with his care and came to Dr. Thurman. I was not disappointed! Even during the pandemic they gave the upmost care, and had the best plan. My daughter has her braces off and is still receiving great aftercare. My son just got his braces on and the plans just keep getting better! My husband has braces from another provider in town and wishes he would have went with Dr. Thurman. They care about their patients, and treat everyone like an individual. I strongly recommend them!

First time trying out Thurman orthodontics my teenage son needed braces and we had previously gone somewhere else but I wasn’t to sure of his treatment there. So we made an appointment for a consult I had to reschedule a couple times the receptionist are Amazing!! So kind, happy polite and very professional when we went in for his consult they immediately brought us back for x ray and photographs all the staff was incredibly nice we then met with Angelina to go over the plan for him she was very informative they even offered to put his braces on right then and there! We scheduled a follow up date for him to get them a week later! My son has had them on 2 weeks now with no complications they even called the day after to check on him! Thurman and all his staff are nothing short of Amazing I highly recommend this place and we are so happy we chose to go here!

Friendly informative office staff. I appreciate the quick in and out visits and that my retainers could be made on site, so nice to not have to wait for them since I live out of town! Very pleasant experience so far it’s worth the drive for sure!

I have had a great experience at Thurman orthodontist. The staff is very nice and have great customer service. They always make sure you are doing fine and if your comfortable this place is really good I will totally recommend to everyone. I think they are the best orthodontist in Bakersfield.

I brought my granddaughter to Thurman Orthodontics for a consultation. I was very impressed. They are very organized, prompt, professional and great with young kids. Leah is on her way to a beautiful smile. Thank you, Dr. T.

My daughter and I have both received treatment at here and I would never go anywhere else. Every aspect of this place is impeccable. The ladies who work in this office (front and back) are extremely kind and helpful. Dr. Thurman is absolutely wonderful and is very knowledgeable in his field. If you are looking for top quality treatment, this is your place!

Great and friendly staff! Super helpful and definitely go over all options with you. The atmosphere is excellent in this office, they go up and beyond to make you feel comfortable & welcome!

I was nervous about expenses and the type of service my son would get. I am excited to stay Thurman Orthodontics made everything understandable, budget friendly and provided top of the line service. I could not be happier to have them care for my son. Dr. Thurman and all of his staff genuinely care for each patient and their families. Making our first visit a breeze.

I love this office the staff are so sweet my daughter got braces recently and they were very gentle with her and made sure she was comfortable the office is very clean and well organized dr Thurman is awsome I wouldn't change her dentist for anything she love that dentist as well thank you Dr Thurman's Team for all your help.

Getting my daughter a beautiful smile was simple with Thurman orthodontics the staff was experienced friendly and very accommodating during and after our visit my daughter got her braces the same day and they also called to check. On how she was doing , they also provide you with videos and links for caring for your braces . I was set up with a great payment plan as well Thurman orthodontics is highly recommended by me ..

Hi! We were very concerned what dentist was going to help my daughter. And when it comes to your daughter, you just don't want anyone to see her. You want the best dentist in town! Since the very first visit, my daughter was so excited to get her braces at Thurman Orthodontics! Everything looks so clean, organized, and friendly, and professional. It has been thus far an amazing experience! Oh I forgot, if you don't speak English, no worries! They have bilingual staff and they do a great job!

First, I want to say that everyone at Thurman Orthodontics is amazing! The entire staff is wonderful, everything is super nice and clean, and I was always treated really well during each of my appointments. My one complaint isn't even really about Dr. Thurman. I think I had unrealistic expectations about what my smile could look like...I guess my teeth are just shaped weird, and I'm never going to have a celebrity picture-perfect smile. As a college student, my Invisalign treatment was very expensive. If I had known that I wouldn't be entirely happy with my smile after the treatment, I'm not sure I would have gone through with it. I just advise anyone who is paying out of pocket to be realistic about what you can afford because it is certainly not cheap. Also have realistic expectations about what can be done for your smile. If money isn't an object, I definitely think Dr. Thurman is the best orthodontist in town.

We chose Thurman for my sons braces for a few reasons. During our consultation they gave a clear breakdown of their pricing and options. All of the staff is very inviting. They followed up with a couple of no pressure calls/texts. After comparing Thurman with the other ortho consults we had, we decided on Thurman. Thurman beat the other pricing, offered incentives, and got my son in right away. The process of getting his braces on was quick...less than an hour. Dr Thurman although very busy took a moment to let me know what to expect for aftercare. I highly recommend Thurman Orthodontics

So far awesome experience! Ive had my braces on for one week now, and have asked tons of questions and all of the staff has helped tremendously! They answer texted questions almost immediately during business hours. After business hours they promptly respond the next time they are open. From consultation to actually getting my braces applied was only two weeks. I am paying in cash with no help from insurance, and it is way more affordable than some other places as well. 10/10 would recommend!!!

I'm glad to have the opportunity to give my daughter the best experience possible when getting her braces compared to what I had growing up. The office is very clean and organized. I appreciate how they value my time as a working parent. They function like a well oiled machine, everyone seems to be in sync and are very focused on the service they are providing. Their attention to detail is refreshing. You can see that Dr. Thurman takes care of his staff as well as staying up to date to be able to provide the best service and products to his patients.

Fell in love with the complete staff at Thurman Orthodontics from the first day we walked in for our consultation 2 years ago. Never have met such an amazing staff and very professional that included you into their family. My daughter was seen every 6 months and guided through every step of her way until her actual braces were put in. We are extremely excited for the day to come that she would have her braces that will give her that perfect smile! Dr. Thurman is such an amazing, loving, caring man that gives you that feeling that he is making sure you have the best and most professional care that he would give his our children. I am happy that we got to meet an amazing team and doctor that will be included in our family for the years to come.

Absolutely WONDERFUL!! First class experience from insurance verification to scheduling. Staff and Dr. T are great to work with!!!

So I didn't want to like this place. I came in already annoyed because braces are expensive. As soon as I came up to the door, there was a lovely sign welcoming my daughter. And then I got inside and everyone was "Hi, welcome". I've never seen such a happy place in my life. No smell of dental office. No grumpy receptionist. Now remember, I'm trying to hate this place so I can justify not getting braces for my daughter. I go get the forms to fill out and its one sheet. What the heck... when is there only one form at any place. My daughter is taken to the back to get the free xrays. So I have time to check out the waiting room. Coffee Machine, other drinks available upon request, Ipad Stations, Comfortable chairs. So daughter comes back and a few minutes later, we are taken to a room to talk about the options. First question they ask is what do we want to change about her teeth. Throws me off because I'm expecting them to list a whole lot of problems and the expensive cost to fix these problems. But the lady assured me that everything I wanted would be possible and they'll be able to close up some gaps. (I didn't even notice she had gaps but cool). Now here is the part I've been dreading... the cost. I mean, you don't get free Keurig coffee, an Ipad station, friendly people, for a little bit of money. I was very surprised to see that its less than what I expected. They had 4 payment options. If you pay in full, you even get a bit of a discount. So I made sure that I wouldn't make an impulsive purchase and left my money at home. So I tell the lady I'll think about it. And we leave. In the car, my daughter is upset. But I'm not the mom that gets swayed by that. And I tell her that we'll check out other places, etc. But on the way home, I'm thinking to myself: 1. its within my financial expectations 2. they can put the braces on today 3. there was no real waiting and when we come back for adjustments, its a comfortable waiting room. 4. everyone was very pleasant and. 5. there wasn't one thing I hated (remember I was trying to hate this place). So I go home and grab my money and come right back to get the braces done. They take her back, prep her mouth, Dr T comes and puts the braces on, he thanks me for the business and advises I give her some Advil for the pain for the next few days. Then I get aftercare instructions. Ok, get this. If we have any issue, they have someone on call on the weekends that will open up the place to fix anything that is an emergency. Next day, I'm talking to my sister who got braces for her stepdaughter the week before. We are essentially paying the same amount but when I showed her pictures and the services that I'm getting, she said she's going to take her other kids to Thurmans.

We enjoyed the overall vibe of the office, the staff was super nice, attentive and informative! They got us through my sons appointment with ease, no sitting around and waiting for long period of time! My son was quite nervous to get his braces on but the staff definitely made him feel good about himself and comfortable...he left the office with a smile on his face, and no more concerns of how he might look with braces on, thank you Thurman Orthodontics, we look forward to our future appointments!

This is my second child getting braces at Thurman orthodontist and I can’t say how happy my girls and I have been with our experience with this office. Staff and doctor are amazing, super friendly and always make my girls feel comfortable. My older daughter loves her new smile and my younger one is super excited with her new braces. I would definitely recommend this office to everyone.

Years ago when my son was getting ready to need orthodontic work done, his dentist referred us to Dr. Thurman. I was a bit reluctant to go without knowing anything about the office and without researching other orthodontists, but had confidence in the dentist so figured we'd try it. The staff was so nice from the minute we made the appointment until we left the office. Fast forward 7 years, and we are now on our 4th child getting braces from Dr. T's office. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. The staff goes above and beyond to make both the patients and the parents feel comfortable. They do so many extras to add to the experience and walk you through the whole process. My kids actually like going to Thurman Orthodontics. Dr. T and staff are awesome!

I am so afraid of the dentist literally terrified, but ever since going to Thurman Orthodontist my fear as completely disappeared. As a new patient my name was on their board and everyone was EXTREMELY friendly. It’s the most welcoming place I have attended. They are very professional and very dedicated to their work! 5 stars in every aspect!!!

Great experience! Friendly environment is noticeable as soon as you walk into the office. My child was nervous about the procedure but Dr. T. and his team made her feel very comfortable. She's happy with her new braces, thank you Thurman Orthodontics!! Will definitely recommend you to friends and family. 😊

The entire team at Thurman has been nothing but easy to work with! From initial consultation to the commencement of treatment, they've been incredible. I had doubts about Invisalign before starting my treatment, but now that it's begun I'm happy I made the decision to trust the Thurman Orthodontics team!

I have been very apprehensive about getting braces as an adult not only because of the cost but also because of my extreme anxiety. Dr. Thurman’s office took care of every one of my concerns and made me feel comfortable immediately. They all treated me with kindness and respect and it instantly made me feel comfortable with my decision. I’m so happy I chose a local dr who cares about his patients and his community.

Everything was easy, fast and comfortable from the time we requested for an appointment for my daughter up to the end of the dental procedure. Dr Thurman explained everything to us about braces and its benefits to my daughter. He is very professional and easy to have a conversation with. The members of his staff are very good in what they do and may I add very friendly too. Lastly, the clinic is very clean, high tech and makes you feel comfortable once you get in. Dr Thurman is the best.

I heard so much about Dr. Thurman's office prior to my consultation and I was pleased they lived up to their reputation. They were able to get me an idea of costs, payment options, and real life expectations. That's what I was most impressed by. They even let me know after x-rays if there was any dental work that needed to be done prior to my braces so it wouldn't interfere with any dental work they needed to perform. Overall, I'm excited for my new smile and can't wait for the results!

I fell in love with the customer service that the staff provides! Right when you walk in you feel welcomed and at home. I was very nervous to get my braces on ,however the staff/Dr.Thurman work together in such an organized and professional manner that I instantly felt at ease. This office genuinely cares about your smile and your jaw health so I think it is worth it !

My husband and I both decided to get braces we looked around trying to find an orthodontist office we felt comfortable with and loved going to. When we went to Dr Thurman's office for a consultation not only was the office amazing, up to date and quite luxurious; the staff was wonderful. They were smiling friendly and made me feel welcome and comfortable. We went over everything with Dr Thurman which was really nice to actually talk to the Doctor himself. This office is amazing they made us feel like family. I wouldn't go anywhere else! i love love love this office!

We were referred to Thurman Orthodontics by trusted friends, and everything they said was true and more. From the first phone call to schedule a consultation, to first initial appointment to the day my daughter got her braces put on we have had nothing but positive, encouraging and genuine interaction. My daughter has fears of dentist and was very anxious and the staff worked so well with her even through her tears ❤️ Every step was walked through and there were no surprises. We appreciated the day after call checking on her and how she was doing. The streamlined check in process to the comfortable and open facilities make for a great experience. I would definitely recommend Thurman Orthodontics!

Dr. Thurman and his staff are AWESOME! After our consultation, our 11 year old could not wait to get braces. He was very excited and looking forward to getting braces. Our experience with Dr. Thurman and his staff have been wonderful. They make you feel important and taken care of as soon as you walk in their office. This is definitely a place where SMILES are made!!

Let me start of by saying this one of the best place for braces to go to. Only reason why I scheduled a consultation was to see my financial options and let me tell you they worked with me in every way possible they never said no. Right away they gave me a payment plan and scheduled me an appointment to get my braces on. Since day one they were fast and easy with waiting time. I never waiting anymore than 5 minutes in the waiting area. The staff are very friendly and helpful aswell they answer all your questions and never leave you with out a doubt. Dr T's office is very nice, fun and clean, the environment is great. I highly recommend this Orthodontic clinic to anyone who is in need of braces. I look forward to having a nice smile!(:

My child recently visited Thurman Orthodontics. The staff was friendly, my time was respected, and the service was efficient. Dr. Thurman greeted us and checked on us multiple times throughout the visit. They even called the next day to check on my child. Plus, they are available via text message. I also felt the office was very clean and sanitary. There isn’t another Orthodontist in town I would visit. Thurman all the way.

My experience with Thurman was nothing short of AMAZING! I got my braces on 9/23 the same day after going in for a consultation. After confirming that my bite was indeed misaligned, I was a candidate for braces and able to get them put on that day! I had never worn braces before, and I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty nervous about it. Everyone there was so friendly and accommodating (especially the girl who took my X-rays 🥰) and really knew how to make me feel comfortable. I never felt a thing when they were putting them on, and haven't had any discomfort since they've been on! As of this review, I've had them on for just over one week and they look and feel great. They'll be on for 22 months, and the end result will be so worth the wait :) Dr. T is such a wonderful person, and I cannot thank him enough for helping me to get that smile I've always wanted! I can't wait when it's my turn to ring the bell!

Had a wonderful experience! The office is very clean and the staff is friendly! I was greeted with a smile and felt right at home! My consultation was quick and painless. I was even able to get my braces the same day. I am excited to continue my journey to straight teeth with Thurman Orthodontics!
