"The most amazing people! Absolutely the only way to go for a perfect smile. Dr. Thurman and his entire staff has always been exceptional with my kids and I. Everytime I set foot in their office or call them on the phone I am more than thankful for every one of them. They are all the only reason why my son smiles. They have flexible scheduling, affordable down payments and more than affordable monthly payments. I am so grateful to have met all of them. Looking at my children, not only have their physical appearances changed but their personalities have also. Both of my children are now proud of their teeth and are not even done with their treatment. I am completely positive that the amazing work that Dr. T and his staff have done for my kids will be one of the most life changing experiences they will ever have. No longer do they have to feel embarrassed of their teeth or hide their smiles. It's a gift to see how much happier they are now. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Thurman to anyone and everyone!! -Mindy, Bakersfield
"There aren't enough great things to say about Dr. Thurman and his girls. You are greeted immediately by warm and welcoming smiles from Jennifer and Dana as soon as you walk through the doors. The office is beautifully decorated and the waiting room is spacious and comfortable (even though you're rarely waiting as the office is run so efficiently). The kids are always so excited to visit the office and enjoy collecting the famous "Dr. T dollars". Dr. Thurman is the most professional, patient, and kind doctor our family has ever encountered. He takes the time to explain the procedures and treatment in a way that our entire family can understand. His work is impeccable and you can tell he takes great pride in the finished result. He is a true perfectionist. They make it easy to pay for treatment by offering payment plans that fit any budget. They are also less expensive than other orthodontists in the area. The bottom line is: Do yourself a favor and let Dr. Thurman and his staff improve you and your families smiles...I guarantee you will not be disappointed."-MammaKMA, Bakersfield
My experience with Dr. Thurman and his staff has been outstanding. I am an older patient who had braces when I was a kid, and I was a little nervous about getting braces again. Dr. Thurman and his staff have made my experience an extremely positive one. One of the most important factors to me was time. I can honestly say that I am seen AT my appointment time. I have NEVER had that happen at a doctor's office until now. I am thrilled that I made the decision to choose Dr. Thurman for my orthodontia. I highly recommend Dr, Thurman to anyone looking to improve their smile.-Janette, Bakersfield
Dr. Thurman and his staff are incredible! From the time you are walking up the walkway for your first appt. to the next you always feel welcome. I will never for get my first visit. When I was walking up to the front door I noticed my name on a A frame Welcome board out front, I felt popular! That right there made me feel GREAT!!! My consultation went so well I made my appt for the next available date so I could get started. I was really excited!! Since then I am in stage 4 of my Invisiline, my son has started his treatment and my 4 daughters will begin their treatment as soon as their ready. I strongly recommend DR.Thurman and his staff. I can't wait for my next appointment. Cynthia, Bakersfield
Dr. Thurman and his staff are extremely kind, caring and professional. From the moment you walk in the door you feel like you are their most important patient. As an adult going through orthodontia treatment, it is very important for me to have my needs met and I couldn't be any happier with Dr. Thurman and his team. I'm so grateful that my dentist recommended you to me. Keep up the great work!! CRellaRun, Bakersfield
We love Dr. Thurman and his crew! Everyone makes you feel so welcome each and every visit. Dr. Thurman is accessible at every visit no matter what. My son is 7-years-old and had severe Orthodontic problems, but Dr. T and his staff make him feel so comfortable. After my son had extractions done at his dentists office Dr. Thurman took the time to call and check on him that evening to make sure he was doing okay. When starting my son's treatment Dr. Thurman did it in multiple phases to prevent as much discomfort as possible. Just this last weekend one of the bands on my son's tooth fell off and they had me come in on a Sunday to fix it. I told them we could wait until Monday, but they insisted we come in so he did not have any discomfort while eating. I would recommend Thurman Orthodontics to all my friends and family.AJ's mom, Bakersfield
Our family loves Dr. Thurman. He has treated both of my sons with excellent results. So much so that I decided to become a patient too! My orthodontic treatment when I was younger as well as other dental work left me disappointed in my smile. I was afraid to seek my own treatment. But I had such good experiences with Dr. Thurman through my boys, I got the courage to give it a try! I have had my braces for about a month now and Dr. Thurman and his staff have made it as painless as possible. Dr. Thurman and his staff are very gentle. My youngest son is autistic and is never afraid and always happy to go to Dr. Thurman. He personally calls when there are changes or new treatments to make sure you are doing okay and not having any trouble. Appointment times are very flexible as are payment plans. Jennifer is very knowledgeable about insurance and has worked through some difficulties in getting one of our insurance companies to pay what they owed. We would never go anywhere else for orthodontics! My boys wish Dr. Thurman did all their dentistry!Laura, Bakersfield
"We started with Dr Thurman after visiting several other, very popular, local orthodontists. My 8 yr old daughter and I were both immediately impressed with Dr. Thurman and his entire staff. They have gone out of their way to make us feel comfortable in this whole, new to us, world of orthodontics (including TWO after hours visits). I am so glad that we went with Dr. Thurman and will definitely be back when it's time for the rest of the kids to visit the orthodontist."Carla, Bakersfield
"Thank you Dr. Thurman for all your great work during my treatment! Since I came to you mid-way through my treatment, I greatly appreciate how you picked up and finished my treatment flawlessly on time, as well as helped me achieve a great smile. Your office is always so personal and friendly. We notice the extra time and care you spend with each patient. Your office is a gem and so thankful that you are in Bakersfield!"Kate, Bakersfield
"Dr. Thurman is a practitioner whose uncommon concern for his patients lends due credibility to his character and practice. His approach to orthodontics is fastidious and precise, and he meets the particular needs of each individual patient with thoroughness and without gimmick. All the staff members are equally devoted to ensuring excellent competency and comfort to those for whom they care. I trust Thurman Orthodontics 100% in all aspects of my orthodontic treatment because I believe they truly care about me and my needs. I send superb wishes to the superb Thurman Orthodontic team." Erica, Bakersfield
"I'm SO glad we found Dr. Thurman! He and his team are all so caring, friendly, and really do out of their way to make sure we have a pleasant experience each and every visit. Besides his commitment to exceptional patient service, his orthodontic education and skill are second to none, and I would not trust my smile to anyone but Dr. Thurman. I would recommend Thurman Orthodontics, without hesitation, to anyone looking for an orthodontist."Kim, Bakersfield

Dr. Thurman's office is very personable, is time efficient and, most importantly, gets great results!
