Joe W Pearson, DDS

My son was in braces for three years with another orthodontist before we went to see Dr. Pearson. His braces had been removed and within six months his bite was open and all his lower teeth had shifted. I was working in the dental field at the time, and when I asked every other dentist or specialist I came in contact with for a recommendation for an orthodontist who would take their time and get my son’s teeth right, Dr. Pearson was mentioned every time ! After our initial consult, I knew I was in the right place. Dr. Pearson took his time and treated my son’s teeth like they were his own and his staff is INCREDIBLE — always pleasant and efficient. Dr. Pearson is intelligent and personable. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

We should have visited other orthodontists for my eldest son prior to obtaining services from Pearson. He is rude, condescending, and clearly has a chip on his shoulder. He makes assumptions about patients and their families without a second thought. My eldest did finish his treatment with Pearson and his teeth looks fine. However at the initial appointment we were told about the different procedures that my son would need, however most were not conducted. Which makes me wonder if we were charged for them or not. At this point I rather just leave everything the way if is so that I never have to deal with guy again. My son needed a replacement retainer which we procured at our family dentist.
We have taken my younger son to a different orthodontist and have been so pleasantly surprised at the differences in treatment, respect, and cost.

Without hesitation, I would recommend Dr. Pearson and his office. My mouth was definitely a project, requiring surgery and countless adjustments. The result is simply beautiful. I visited several other Ahwatukee Orthos before finally choosing Dr. Pearson. His office didn’t have the yogurt bar and gaming lounges that attract the teens and he was a tad bit more expensive, but it was worth every extra penny. He is a perfectionist, which is the quality you want in your Ortho.

We have taken our children to Dr Pearson for over 4 years. His staff is outstanding, friendly, courteous and extremely helpful. I wish we could say the same for Dr Pearson. He is very demeaning and has a better than thou attitude. He has very little compassion or understanding for anything that may impact his perfect vision or treatment. Last time I checked I was paying for his services and am entitled to some sort of customer satisfaction… he could care less. So I called and spoke to him to let him know his treatment of our kids and my wife was unacceptable. His response was an apology note in the mail a few days later. Too little too late. Hopefully someone else receives better treatment as a result of our complaint. As for us there are many outstanding orthodontist who have been grateful to accept our business.

I’ve been taking my son to Pearson Orthodontics for over a year now and we’ve been very happy with them. Bright, colorful office!
Very cheerful atmosphere, friendly staff, great dental assistants who are very patient with my son who has sensory issues. Dr. Pearson does very well with him as well; my son trusts him and always looks forward to going to his appointments because they make wearing braces cool and fun (how great is that?).
Also, kudos to the staff for the ongoing contests, prizes, parties, and games that keep their patients and families engaged and comfortable while they wait.
Highly recommend!

Dr. Pearson was recommended to me from my dentist 2 years ago. Dr. Pearson and his team use SureSmile wires to ensure that each individual receives the best and fastest treatment possible. Although I just got my braces off, I will continue to visit for check-​ups and tracking of my progress with my retainer. Dr. Pearson and his staff are extremely friendly and the office is very welcoming. Dr. Pearson also puts on several events a year for his patients and their families. No matter where you are coming from the office is conveniently located. Being an adult with braces, I am extremely interested in all the details and plans that Dr. Pearson had for my treatment. He was always willing to keep me apprised of the procedures he was implementing along the way. Overall, I am very satisfied with the results and would recommend Dr. Pearson to anyone interested in getting braces in AZ.

What an awesome orthodontist!!! Dr. Pearson and his staff are so friendly and attentive to everyone that comes in the office. Everything is explained clearly and with SureSmile technology I’m convinced we are getting the best treatment possible. The office is equipped with fun activities for the kids to play with while they wait for their appointments to start. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Pearson to anyone that was looking for orthodontic treatment.
