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!

Incredible service from start to finish! I was greeted by Dana, who was so kind and immediately made me feel at home. The entire staff treated me with such care and respect. I felt completely comfortable explaining my situation, and everything was explained to me in a way that was both educational and understanding. Thank you, Melissa, for treating me and making me feel comfortable the entire time. I’m so grateful my dentist referred me here—couldn’t be happier with my experience!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about McAllen Orthodontics, Dr. Ryan, and his entire team. From our very first visit, the experience exceeded all my expectations in every possible way—the level of care, professionalism, clarity of information, and genuine compassion were outstanding.

The facilities are absolutely beautiful—modern, welcoming, and truly top of the top. Everything is clean, well organized, and thoughtfully designed to make both parents and children feel comfortable and confident.

Dr. Ryan took the time to explain everything thoroughly and in a very reassuring way. I never felt rushed, and every question was answered with patience and transparency. What truly sets this practice apart is the exceptional follow-up and personal care. Dr. Ryan personally called to check on my daughter after her braces were placed, which meant so much to us.

Yesterday, my daughter also received a congratulatory card sent on behalf of the entire team and personally signed by Ms. Nora Hernandez. That thoughtful gesture—offering encouragement, confidence, and congratulations—was incredibly meaningful and truly speaks to the heart and care behind this practice.

I understand that many families prioritize expenses and may choose to cross to Mexico, which is completely respectable. However, when you have the opportunity to work with a practice that offers doable monthly payments, works with your budget, and provides the highest level of care for your children, this is absolutely the place to choose. When it comes to your kids, trust, quality, and safety matter—and McAllen Orthodontics delivers all of that and more.

The entire experience has been amazing, and I am genuinely excited and grateful that we chose this team. Without a doubt, this is the top orthodontic practice in the Valley.

A special shout-out as well to Daydream Family Dentistry in Weslaco, especially Dr. Carralez and Dr. Reinhardt, for recommending Dr. Ryan. Their advice was spot-on—choose the best

Came to Dr. Gerling and Melissa as a child, and Dr. Ryan and Melissa as an adult.

McAllen Orthodontic Group is consistently best in class orthodontic care in the RGV. I deeply appreciate how accommodating Lucy is with scheduling, and of course the great Melissa, who assisted attentively throughout my entire treatment ⭐️ 5/5
