Amazing Staff in general are very welcoming and make you feel comfortable. Dr.Ryan is excellent on explaining what services will be rendered at every appointment. Easy financing they have payment plan in case your insurance doesn’t cover for services. At the end when braces are removed you are given a certificate to take your child to a photographer for a PICTURE PERFECT SMILE 😁. P.S they have free ice cream, a theater & a collection of fossils.

I personally really love this place! Staff are very welcoming! They have free ice cream and coffee so you can grab one right after your appointment. Never have I ever seen any dentist/orthodontist have a MOVIE THEATRE but this one does. How cool! I enjoy how I get to see the doctor every appointment and how the staff tell me what my appointment is going to consist of. Very much appreciate every single staff member!
Amazing staff, super friendly and professional. Loved being a part of this amazing group. My daughter’s teeth look awesome, exactly the time they explained it would take to correct, it did. Look forward to phase II. 😎

Everyone at the office is very nice, patient, and helpful!
The staff is the best..they were helpful, happy and so attentive. I joked with my husband and told him, "They must get paid really well here…the staff is too good.” I got braces in Mexico and I had putty put in my mouth to make a mold, the staff was the “get you in, get out” type and each time I went it felt like it was truly just a business transaction. Bringing my daughter here was refreshing, they took their time, built rapport, and made sure we were the priority during our appointment. Experience here was a 10/10.
I am currently a patient at McAllen Orthodontic Group, and I highly recommend it. Everyone's so kind and works well on my braces. My teeth have come a long way in a very short time with their help. And I like the ice cream
My oldest was a patient here for two years and she received nothing but the best care from Dr Ryan and his staff. It was no brainer then that we’d come here again now that my other kids are ready for braces. We met with Mandy and Dr Ryan this morning, they were both great, as always, and a pleasure to speak to regarding their upcoming treatments.
