out of Read Reviews for Dr. Gary Starr
My daughter had been seeing Dr. Starr for a few years before it was time to do the braces. We met to plan a course of treatment and he said he wanted us to consider jaw surgery. Orthodontic treatment would vary depending if our daughter had the surgery or not. In the following months we consulted an oral surgeon and also discussed treatment options with a cousin who is an orthodontist in San Diego. My husband and I went back and forth on having the surgery, which is a serious surgery requiring breaking of the jaw. We opted to proceed with braces and no surgery and so we made the appointment to discuss treatment. We met with Dr. Starr and his assistant. With my daughter on the chair, I told Dr. Starr of our decision. His reply was that he was sorry but that he, without the surgery, could not do the braces. Without another word, he got up and left the room, leaving me standing there dumbfounded and speechless. I have never seen such rude behavior from a dental professional. We left the office one last time and had the braces done by the office of Quimby & Collins. Our daughter has a perfect and lovely smile and there was no surgery.

Two of my daughters that needed orthodontics used Dr. Starr's services. The office was run super efficiently; never waited for the seat to get warm before my daughters were called into the dental chair! All staff were extremely nice, friendly and helpful. Dr. Starr is so outgoing and you can tell that he really loves what he does; so welcoming, down to earth and positive. Both daughters never ever minded coming and enjoyed the self-sufficiency of 'doing their own thing' at the office; taking responsibility for check in, etc. In one case, Dr. Starr informed us that one of my daughters did not need any work for her bite but that braces would be useful only for cosmetic reasons; I loved his honesty and he is the opposite of a 'hard sell'. All business matters were well spelled out and understood before we proceeded with attaining orthodontic services. As our time progressed there, the office space was constantly upgraded to accommodate making the teenagers feel very comfortable. This didn't feel like a medical office because it was so nice; soup to nuts! SO VERY PLEASED with the staff but the outcome is what matters and we are all extremely satisfied that these are the best orthodontic outcomes we could have hoped for!
