John R Jerome, DDS MS – Signature Orthodontics

I’d like to preface this by saying the following. I’m not a huge social media guy, and I actually just created my Unilocal account, specifically to make this review.
Secondly, I can’t believe there are only 16 reviews for Dr J. He should have 1600!
My wife and I had always thought about getting Invisalign. We’d go to the dentist and see the adds and pictures, but never gave it too much though and figured it would cost way too much.
About two years ago, my fiancé at the time met a lady by the name of Dr Femme Ambrosocio who is a pediatric dentist and she told my fiancé to check an orthodontist named Dr Jerome who was located in her same building as her practice.
We’ve both been fortunate so far in our lives to have relatively healthy and straight teeth. Neither of us had had braces or crazy dental procedures. After seeing Dr. J and consulting with other friends, my fiancé decided that the price was good and that the payment plan was actually affordable.
Long story short, she got half way through her tray process and we had enough saved up again in our HSA plan to where getting my teeth done too was an option. After my consultations and couple emails back and forth with Dr. J, I decided to do it. I helped rationalize the expense by telling myself that this was also a healthy decision as to avoid crowding and bite issues in the future, as no one is getting younger.
Dr. J. is a military veteran as am I. His office is amazing! Clean, high tech, awesome staff and he often even has Star Wars movies playing on the big screens throughout the entire office.
Now over a year later and finished with all my trays, I can tell you that as long as you can afford it, I think Invisilign is amazing and I couldn’t imagine the process being any better anywhere else.
Thank you Dr. J. from Theresa and I. You will always get our glowing recommendations whenever the chance comes.

my 1 year journey to a new smile! So happy to complete this process, but even happier that it was with Dr. Jerome!
Aside from all the praise of how awesome the office itself is, the staff is just as awesome! Brooke and Gracie are always able to work with your schedule and easily reachable through phone or email. John and Sherri were always great and able to answer any questions I had. Dr. Jerome is always available and personally checks your progress at each appointment.
Highly recommended and encouraged by me and all of my fellow patients.

Dr. Jerome is the best. We recently moved but we are still flying down from Seattle area for our girls to continue treatment with him. My dental specialist husband would not have anyone else treat our daughters. Dr. Jerome has the latest technology, board certified, flexible hours, and very friendly.

I came in for Invisalign treatment at the recommendation of my dentist and have been very satisfied at how well the treatment has gone. Dr. Jerome and his staff are great and all my appointments have been straight forward. I have been wearing Invisalign for only about 5 months as of this review and it really is night and day the results I’ve been having. His office has all the latest technology and during my consultation he answered all my questions and showed me how my progress would go during the treatment. If you are looking for a great orthodontist, I highly recommend Signature Orthodontics.

My son got his braces off and his teeth look great! The retainers are not even visible, so my son actually wears them. We will be bringing our younger children here for their braces when it is time.

Let me start with saying that Dr. Jerome and his staff are the most wonderful people I have ever met. I am originally from alaska but decided to come down to california for a destination wedding. I made a horrible decision and ate red curry the week of my wedding. Needless to say my clear bands were dyed an aweful orange yellow and I did not want to take my wedding pictures with horrible looking teeth. I must have called at least 8 orthodontist to see if my bands could be changed but most did not call me back and two wanted to charge me an office visit of $ 120. My funds were low due to the wedding and I was hoping for something around $ 50 for this 5 minute procedure. Luckily, I made a last attempt at calling and ended up with Dr. Jerome at Signature orthodontics. After explaining my situation, he told me to come in and he would do it for FREE since I am getting married. I was surprised by his generosity but even more so when I walked into his office. His office is beautiful, clean and high tech, the type I would have thought would charge me an arm and a leg. Walking in, I was immediately welcomed by very friendly staff. Dr. Jerome changed my bands himself, a work that my orthodontist at home leaves to his other staff members. He was very gentle and kind.
If I lived here in San Diego, I would quickly switch to his services. Dr. Jerome cares about his patients and sees them as people. He can relate with people well and understand circumstances. Although he has nothing to gain, he still offered to perform a service without charge which is more than I can say for the first 8 orthodontists I called. I highly recommend his office if you are looking to be treated like a valued patient instead of just a number in a crowd.

We went in for a consultation in Dec. I was impressed with the beautiful office and state-​of-​the-​art dental technology, but Dr. Jerome’s demeanor was just a bit too casual for me. Upon meeting me and my son, he said my son looked like the buck-​toothed reindeer on his Christmas sweater and that he would «fix» that. My son has never been made fun of about his overbite. I am very sensitive to it, however, hence the reason for trying to find a good orthodontist, but Dr. Jerome does not appear to be too sensitive. I was a bit shocked that he said what he said and although I sat through the consultation and listened to him knock my dental insurance, I shook his hand and left. No thank you. Moving along now. If you want someone who is a bit more compassionate, and sensitive — try going down the street.

First I would like to start by saying Dr. Jerome is amazing! I have been to MANY other dentists and had braces twice (both times having a relapse with my open bite) all before I came to see Dr. Jerome. He set my mind at ease that his treatment plan would work when the others had not… And he was so right! I was referred to him by a few of my friends who also had wonderful things to say about the doctor. I am now a patient of Signature ortho and could not be happier with my decision to get Invisalign for the LAST time… I am on tray number 13 out of 20 and I can already tell the difference between my previous experiences and this quality treatment. I am very happy with my choice and you will be too!
The office is new, comfortable, clean, and welcoming. Brooke at the front desk is really sweet and always reminds me of my appointments! Really great customer service and incredible ortho! I would and have recommended Signature ortho to my family and friends! Highly recommended!

We were fortunate to have gone to Dr. Jerome while he was with another practice in Poway, when he moved to his Practice in 4S Ranch we were locked in a contract in Poway. The Orthodontist who replaced Dr. Jerome made it obvious the difference between excellent care and sub standard. We were finally able to break our contract in Poway and are now continuing with treatment at Signature Orthodontic. Dr Jerome is competent, caring and affordable. Dr Jerome and his staff are incredible!

Dr. Jerome is the ‘go to’ orthodontist in the area. Your search is over… I don’t usually leave reviews on Unilocal… that’s how impressive Signature Orthodontics really is. Nicely appointed and very clean, spa-​like offices, and the doc is very personable. Dr J uses only the highest quality materials in his practice and takes excellent care of his patients. We interviewed tons of practices within a 20-​mile radius, and decided that Dr J was it. We are extremely happy with our decision and he will ultimately get our entire family as patients. We give Signature Orthodontics our highest recommendation… and let the doc know you read this review… he might just upgrade you to the VIP treatment plan for free! ;-)

Dr. Jerome is great! I came in with braces from Ny called incognito braces. After getting as much out of them as I could he helped me transition into invisalign. Right after starting up with signature orthodontics i came into some money issues. Their office has been so nice and flexible with me throughout this hard time. Reasonable prices and 5 star customer service. Thank you guys for everything and wish you all the business in the world.

I cannot even tell you how long I searched for the right orthodontist for my kids. We had 2 going in for braces at the same time & I went to every single orthodontist in the Carmel Valley/​4S Ranch/​Solana Beach area. I was even inching into PQ & Poway, because as any mom in Carmel Valley will tell you the orthos here really have you in a vise. We went to all the evaluations & got all kinds of crazy plans and outrageous estimates. We were just about to pull the trigger on what we thought was the best deal for the money with the best orthodontist for our kids… and then we got an bottom of the 9^th referral to Dr. Jerome. Walk off home run! Dr. J was perfect. Super personable, great with the kids, spent extra time answering all our questions and concerns and really went the extra mile to make sure we weren’t going to have to pay for «fixes» that we really didn’t need. The price was right, but I think more than that the person was right. He’s been amazing. He’s flexible with scheduling and is able to fit us in at times that work with the hectic schedules of overbooked middle schoolers. It also makes it easier for us knowing that girls don’t hate going to the orthodontist. They like their doctor, his staff and the office. I wouldn’t say they look forward to it – but they always come home with a fun story and in good spirits. We love Dr. J and cannot even imagine trusting our girls’ smiles to anyone else.
Also, as an aside for the 92 130 parents… the drive into 4S Ranch really has been so easy. I know that all the Carmel Valley orthos tell you that you need to be close, but I’ve found that we always get the appointment time we want, parking’s easy, & it’s only 10 minutes away from PHR.

Wow, Dr. J is soooo nice!!! Extremely personable. My 12 year old daughter felt right at home. He spent extra time with us making sure we understood what she needed. Absolutely beautiful office, state of the art equipment. His fees are very comparable with other top notch orthodontists. We were there for a late consult (7pm on a Friday) I almost felt bad! Being a business owner myself, I know how much work can cut into your family time. I super appreciate him being able to be so accommodating when possible. AND as a bonus he was in the military!!! I love every opportunity to support our military/​veterans! If you live in the 4S area, or even if you don’t, give him a call for a free consult. You will NOT be disappointed.

I am writing this review to share with those of you who are about to make an orthodontist decision my thoughts on how I chose Dr. Jerome.
To start with, unfortunately, I have 3 children (that’s not the unfortunate part) and all three required braces (that’s the unfortunate part). To make matters worse, we moved several times over the past 10 years and I had to go through the process of selecting a new orthodontist 3 separate times now in 3 different parts of the country. As a result, I’ve learned a thing or two about what to look for when selecting an orthodontist for my child.
First of all, Dr. Jerome’s office and orthodontic facilities & equipment are truly state-​of-​the-​art but what really impressed me most was Dr. Jerome’s confidence in and passion for what he does… which was really refreshing and in contrast to some of the other orthodontists in the area I also interviewed. I really appreciated Dr. Jerome’s availability to me as a parent and to my son as a patient… he stayed after hours to be able to meet with me and my son on our initial visit because it was the only time my son and I could meet with him that day. Dr. Jerome then called me a couple of days later just to make himself available and he gave me his personal cell phone number and invited me to call him anytime with any questions or concerns I might have. One time I called his office and he was with a patient so I left a message with his assistant Brooke and within 15 minutes Dr. Jerome emailed me a detailed comprehensive answer to my question. He was (and is) always willing to spend as much time with me to answer any of my questions and to just visit with me and my son. And speaking of his assistant Brooke, she is equally as accessible and accommodating and when she says she will follow up with you (just like Dr. Jerome), she will follow up with you.
Furthermore, as for cost, I did my due diligence visiting 5 different orthodontic offices in the area before making my decision and I can assure you, Dr. Jerome was the most cost effective orthodontic provider.
Both my son and I are very happy with the care we’ve received to date and I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Jerome and his practice if you’re considering where to go for your child’s orthodontic care.

excellent orthodontist. Very high tech and all about patients! Love my invisalign !

I’m very picky with the medical/​dentist DRs I select for my kids. I want them to care as much as I do for their well being. Dr. Jerome is just that, a very caring and personable professional. He gets back to me promptly and answers every question I have. His staff and office are awesome! I strongly recommend his office to anybody that wants exceptional care.

I spent over one month researching Orthodontics for my three children and I finally found Dr. Jerome… thank goodness! Dr. Jerome has a beautiful office, very clean with state of the art features that my kids love! His schedule is accommodating to our busy schedule and Dr. Jerome always responds very quickly. Most important, his price was very fair and competitive. We believe that Dr. Jerome truly cares for my children and takes the time to make them each feel special. We look forward to seeing him each month. This office is a special place and we’re happy to be patients here. If there were 6 stars to offer, I would give it to Dr. Jerome.
