What Patients Are Saying

The greatest complement that our patients can give to Dr. Criswell and the team at Monterey Bay Orthodontics is the referral of a friend or family member. We take extreme pride in our reviews. Please see "what patients are saying" and feel free to review us as well.

 

We were on vacation when our son broke the bracket off of his molar. We were far from home and didn't want to shorten our trip so we have then a call and they got us in the same day. The staff was really friendly and took care of the issue in no time flat. Thank you to your team. - Reed M. 8/8/2017

We were on vacation in Monterey for spring break last week and my son had a bracket come loose on his back molar. Despite the fact that they were super busy with patients of their own, Monterey Bay Orthodontics managed squeeze him in and rather that just clipping the wire, they took the time to reattach the bracket. Thanks for saving us! Good luck Dr. Criswell on your soon to arrive baby #4! - Patrick M. 4/24/2017

I love Monterey Bay Orthodontics! Dr. Palma and Dr. Criswell are amazing, and I always end up leaving with a smile from the staff. 100% recommend. The best part? The results. I love my teeth :) - Kory S. 1/21/2017

Dr. Criswell is a wonderful orthodontist! After my initial meeting with Dr. Criswell I decided on Invisilign and I am so pleased! Dr. Criswell and his staff make you feel as though you are part of their family. The office atmosphere is joyful and very professional. If you are considering Invisilign or braces I would highly recommend Dr. Criswell. You will leave the office happy and you will have a beautiful smile :-)! - PB 6/24/2015

Dr. Criswell is the best! Are you looking for an Orthodontist where you will feel at home? Not only is Dr. Criswell super nice, but he is GREAT at what he does! Dr. Criswell does an amazing job at making you feel comfortable. He walks you through every step and is very gentle. He will make you feel like he has known you for the longest time. We absolutely LOVE Dr. Criswell and refer our friends and family. Although the trek from my house to Dr. Criswell's office is a bit far, it is truly worth it! The attention to detail, perfectionism, and professional service provided is in a class of its own. My daughter was born with cleft lip & palate and he has been instrumental with the care for her needs. My youngest son now has a full set of braces. The staff is extremely nice, professional and caring with kids. Look no further and schedule your appointment today. You will not be disappointed with the experience. Your friends and family are sure to be impressed with your NEW SMILE!!! The hours are flexible and accommodating with offices in Carmel, Monterey and Salinas. Thank you to Dr. Criswell and his AMAZING staff!!! We love all of you & couldn't be happier. - Jeannette C. 6/15/2015

We loved Dr. Criswell, my daughter finished her first round of braces with this office and we loved Dr. Criswell and Dr. Palma. We are getting ready for her second round and excited to see them again! - Jennifer C. 4/23/2016

Dr. Criswell and his staff have been wonderful to myself and my daughter Annalicia. And Holly worked with our insurance to make sure that the amount we had to pay out of pocket was spread out into an affordable monthly payment plan, which was great because she knew how important that was to our family. And Anna finally got her braces yesterday!! She was so excited and anxious at the same time, but Dr. Criswell and everyone in the office was so wonderful. He even called last night to check on her. Thanks again so much for all of your help and support, I really appreciate it!!:) - Tanya J. 4/1/2016

I had two phases of braces with Dr. Palma and Dr. Criswell and I love my smile! The time they took into making my teeth perfect means so much to me and shows how much they care about their patients. The staff is all so friendly and I highly recommend this practice! They really are amazing people. - Rose R. 3/4/2015

Dr. Criswell is very personable, professional, and very patient. My daughter really likes him, and she is very comfortable in his presence. He is an awesome orthodontist, and has made great strides in my daughter's smile. The staff is very nice and professional, too! - Janice J. 3/23/2015

I'm SO glad that I finally found Dr Criswell to do my braces!!! He has changed my life for the better, giving me the awesome smile that I have always dreamed of and a solid bite that will keep my teeth beautiful for the rest of my life. I didn't know such an incredible transformation would happen so quickly with such great results. Also, he is very affordable! My only regret is not going to him sooner... I visited 2 other orthodontist around the area before visiting Dr Criswell and was about to settle with one, but then a friend recommended me to Monterey Bay Orthodontics, and I'm so glad she did. Thank you Doctor and staff! - George P. 2/18/2015

Dr. Criswell is the most fastidious, meticulous, and ethical doctor I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. His confident and reassuring manner left me relaxed and sure that my daughter's bite and teeth would be beautiful. After undergoing the treatment can say without any reservations that her teeth are as beautiful as they could possibly be. The front desk staff go of out of their way to ensure the appointments are scheduled correctly and timely. I especially enjoyed Connor for his efficient handling of all our appointments and his great sense of humor. Thank you Doctor C!Dr. Criswell and his staff are superb. They are friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and affordable. My son is beyond excited to get his braces off...2 months early! I highly recommend this office to everyone in need of an orthodontist. - James C. 1/17/2015
