Review from Charlene N.

Dr. Marcus is a fabulous orthodontist. He is the only bay area orthodontist recommended by one of the arguably best orthognathic surgeons in the world, Dr. Arnett in Santa Barbara. I am cursed with lifelong jaw problems (thanks mom!) and went to Dr. Arnett after 15 years and 2 previous unsuccessful surgeries with a different surgeon. I won't lie, I looked a mess. Dr. Arnett entrusted my care to Dr. Marcus. I had my third surgery in April of 2010. Between the two of them, my jaw is stable and has been stable for the past two years. My teeth touch, I can chew, no more headaches. I know most people can't imagine this, but I haven't been able to bite into a sandwich in almost 20 years, and now I can. Do you think you might need orthognathic surgery? Well here is your orthodontist. What? You live over the bridge and the commute makes you sad face so you'd rather work with Joe Schmoe up the street? You would be sadder to have to redo the surgery (trust me on that one) - suck it up. Go see Dr. Marcus, listen to his recommendations for care and which surgeons to use (he's dealt with all of them), and be assured you are in good hands.
As far as regular orthodontics go, I can only imagine Dr. Marcus is stellar at that as well. While many people worry a lot about the bells and whistles that a practice will give them, the most important thing is the skill of the orthodontist. Dr. Marcus is conscientious about keeping up with his continuing education in order to provide the best for his patients. He will provide an honest and fair assessment of you or your child's issues and will treat them appropriately and with a more than fair price for the quality of the work. -

It is rare to meet someone so interested, ethical and highly skilled in his profession and I'm very appreciative. I'd give him 10 stars if I could.
I'm an adult, 65, referred at my request by my San Francisco periodontist because my teeth are "drifting", causing some very slight spaces and rotation, but it bothered me. Dr. Marcus considered my concerns, gave his opinion and explained my options in a pleasant, positive way. He described procedures that would occur if I did choose braces--things I'd never even considered. He answered questions. After taking some time to consider the information, I was able to make the decision not to get braces, but will get a retainer to prevent further movement.
Honest, informative, thorough, knowledgeable, likeable, prompt--and this goes for the entire staff. -

Over the years, I've read many Yelp reviews but have never posted one. But I'm finally compelled to take the time to write one because I'm so grateful for the excellent orthodontic treatment my daughter has received from Dr. Marcus.
He is dedicated to ensuring the best possible outcome (tremendous attention to detail) and he interacts very well with the child/teen patient. His office has gone to great lengths to accomodate our scheduling needs and everyone in the office is a pleasure. (First medical/dental office I've encountered that I can communicate with via email for rescheduling or other operational issues!)
My daughter's case was quite a challenge (significantly beyond teeth straightening or bite issues) and Dr. Marcus has gone so far above and beyond for her. She will benefit for the rest of her life from his care.
I can't recommend him strongly enough...we are so happy that we chose Dr. Marcus! -

Normally I wouldn't want to brag about a man being quick. In this case it's a good thing. Dr.Marcus is fast, no long waits and he gets the job done. He also takes care of every detail and ensures that your smile looks flawless. Plus, he's a pretty friendly and buffed young man which is a plus for all the hot mommas going in to get their childrens teeth straight. In my case I am one of his "older" patients. His office staff is also friendly and the office us spotless. Bonus perk: near shopping, Peets Coffee and awesome parking.

We had a great experience and my daughter's teeth look wonderful. The staff were friendly and helpful and the appointments were always kept on time. I would recommend Dr. Marcus for your orthodontics. He is professional and knows what he is talking about.
Thanks Dr. Marcus.

Dr. Marcus is a caring orthodontist. He had done a great job at keeping me informed about my son's treatment, taking the time to talk to me at every appointment.

Dr. Marcus and his dynamic staff are amazing! We've been going to the office for about a year and a half and it's always so much fun. The warmth, great attention to detail and professionalism that is felt every time we are in Dr. Marcus' office makes it a great place to go for both me and my children. We feel so fortunate to have Dr. Marcus and his staff in our lives and making our children's teeth/bites gorgeous!!!

I highly recommend Dr. Alan Marcus. His level of professional expertise and talent is exceedingly high. He wants to achieve the very best outcome for his patients. I was a patient of his (InvisAlign) and so was my daughter (braces). He has great personal regard for his patients, which is much appreciated.

I am very happy with my experience I had with Dr. Marcus and his staff. Josephine, his office manager, is one of the most pleasant woman I have encountered. She always has a huge smile and will stop what she is doing to greet me and always says goodbye and wishes me a good day. I am very happy with the outcome of my invisiline. My daughter also had braces and then invisiline with Dr. Marcus and we are more than satisfied with the results! 5 stars all the way!!!!
