As an adult going through orthodontic procedure, I was pretty cranky going there the first time. But all the staff and doctors in this place are fun and kind and make you feel welcome! Two years later I have a really nice smile and I am grateful for all their work

Don’t come here if you have jaw problems such as TMJ and you are looking for specialized care while having braces. I went here for that specific reason and I was told by their TMJ specialist to see a different TMJ specialist in town for the simple treatment of injectable anti-inflammatories which are a standard treatment that Dr.Jaws claims to offer.
Also, they are not flexible with your schedule if you are working or going to school good luck getting your treatment on time. Almost ever single one of my appointments I have had to wait double time because of their limited availability. God forbid

I would definitely recommend Dr. jaw, for any of your orthodontic needs. Dr. Rabe and Dr. Robison are the most kindest and gentle dentist you will find. The staff was very knowledgeable and helpful with all my questions. This place has five stars …

This is just a so so place with some really big staff issues. They incentivize good reviews so beware that what you are seeing isn’t the full picture. It is the fast food joint of orthodontics with some incredibly rude dental techs. They also have no attention to detail and make mistakes constantly. Brackets on wrong, glue left on teeth, wires sticking out. They don’t care they want you in an out as fast as possible. And they don’t respond if you email questions or concerns.

My kiddo had a pallet expander installed. We have nothing but positive things to say about our experience at Dr. Jaw. Appointments are kept and there is minimal weight time. Even with Covid we have no complaints!

If I could give 10 stars I would! Dr.Jaw is the best orthodontist in Tucson and maybe even the nation. He and his team were immediately responsive and extremely helpful in assisting my best friend; who's jaw was fractured from an unfortunate incident.

He and I are beyond thankful and fortunate to have them at this time of need. Dr.Jaw and his team went above and beyond to treat my best friend. Dr.Jaw even personally gave me his phone number to text/call if I needed immediate assistance for my friend.

If you needed a review to move you to chose Dr.Jaw, here it is! You won't regret

I am an RN that studied systems processes, which is about efficiency &, as result, greater effectiveness in healthcare. I worked as a case manager & community liaison, visiting numerous practices & healthcare organizations. Missed communications & documentation errors/omissions are responsible for a large percentage of poor outcomes in patient care. Dr Jaw's office is THE MOST ORGANIZED & EFFICIENT office I have ever been in. Great customer service & care. Highly recommend. Professional & timely with good explanations for your questions.

Being organized &

I had previously received braces in the 5th grade. The arrival of wisdom teeth and unclosed growth plates in my jaw caused my teeth to crowd as well as the return of the natural underbite I once had. After a few years of being on the fence about getting braces I decided to finally take the plunge and get them on again at the prime age of 21. What a great decision that was.

Just starting a career in real estate, I wanted a smile I was confident in. The same could be said really for any profession and just life in general. Let me tell you the office of Dr. JAW gave me just that.

I am new to up in reviewing but now that I have a chance I'm going to hit all the terrible doctors and dentists that have done me wrong here in Tucson. First is years ago dr. Weaver, dentist. He also lied to me and gave me a phony treatment plan that did not even work. I finally went to an another dentist who confirmed with me that dr. Weaver was lying about his plan that would straighten my teeth. This other dentist actually tip the braces off and fixed my problem in one visit. Stay away from dr. Weaver who is not honest.

I do not know why anyone would go anywhere else for orthodontia.
As an adult, I can report that the staff is professional and fun. My issues will be fully addressed and I am confident in the result. If you have children, it's almost like taking your kids to Disneyland -- they will look forward to their visit.

So far, so good! My 9 yr-old loves coming here and the employees and atmosphere are positively charged! The point system is a good incentive for the patients to adhere to the instructions of the dental team while working towards a gift item.

Looking forward to seeing the beautiful changes with my daughter's teeth!

Everyone here is friendly and kind. My son was in tears and they were patient and understanding. My son calmed down and left with a smile on his face.

They have a points rewards program that motivates children to take care of their teeth. Overall I think orthodontics has come a long way since the 80's.
