Excelente experiencia de mis hijos, muy contentos los años que vinimos, quedaron hermosas sus sonrisas!
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

Best Orthodontist! They have taken really great care of my daughter. Dr. Ryan and staff are very patient and explain thoroughly each visit. Just excellent!
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

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the sweet woman who put braces on my daughter today. From the moment we walked in, she made her feel so comfortable and cared for. Watching her treat my daughter with such patience, kindness, and professionalism truly meant the world to me. It’s a blessing to see someone love what they do and make such a difference in a child’s confidence and smile. Thank you so much Melissa, you made this such a special experience for us both.
