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. 😎
Excelente customer service! And amazing knowledge doctor! My son loves every visit
From the staff to the Dr, great experience. As soon as you walk in, the atmosphere is just so light, bubbly, and friendly. Everyone is so attentive and professional. Definitely recommend this place!

Dr. Ryan is an excellent orthodontist. He and his team explain the treatment and make you feel comfortable. Highly recommend!!
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.
It was my very first day with them and right off the back receptionists are very welcoming and give you a tour of the clinic. Love that the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. I love that they have section for children in books and play areas. They take there time to talk to you about what will be done by the doctor how they work. And the reception really take there time in answering any questions you have. Love that they also have different things in there. They have ice cream and coffee at your liking and a spot in where you can also brush your teeth if you are rushing out from work they provide you with everything there toothpaste, tooth brush and floss string. Love it. Doctor is very helpful and takes his time to explain to you what he would like to do for teeth. Would highly recommend them!
She has teeth that are straightening and her over bite is improving. Staff and Dr are outstanding!
My son absolutely enjoys the experience. From the friendliness of the staff, to the great conversations with Dr. Ryan, and of course the gaming area! We are so happy here!
Dr. Ryan and his team are amazing. My son looks forward to his appointments with them.
We’ve had a great experience with Dr. Ryan. As a dentist, I’ve had really high expectations and Dr. Ryan has exceeded them all. The team is kind, professional, and always makes him feel comfortable. Appointments run smoothly, and the office is very welcoming. They even have a movie theater and offer complimentary ice cream! We’re so happy with the care and highly recommend them.
The best place! Excellent care and service. Dr. Ryan and the entire team are very professional and warm. Special thanks to Gill Zamora, who had a beautiful and thoughtful gesture with my daughter. We are so happy here!
