Melanie S Parker, DDS MS

During my visit to San Diego I had a wire pop out of my bracket. Dr Parker was recommended by my friends dentist. I call her office. They were able to accommodate me during time I needed since I was riding with my friend. Her office staff was very friendly and courteous. They were able to fix my wire even with my crying baby in the stroller sitting next to me. My daughter left the office with a bear and I left an office with fixed wire and surprise since they would not charge for a visit. Thank you Dr Parker and staff! You truly made my day.

Dr Parker is truly talented. She made my teeth look absoluty perfect and her staff is very friendly. She’s the best!

Best. Doctor’s office. EVER!
This is the only doctor’s office that my kids enjoy visiting. In fact, they always ask if we can get there early so they can play on the X-​box in the waiting room. This practice knows their audience and they do it right. In spite of the waiting room entertainment (which is not offensive to other patrons because the X-​box is secluded in a little room on the side), it is a very open and professional office space.
Dr. Parker and her staff are professional and personable. They give me the right amount of information and attention. They also put my kids at ease. Who likes going to the orthodontist now? WE DO! WE DO!
Highly, highly recommended.

Great experience here as an adult who needed Invisalign and some custom contouring /​filing of my teeth. The several month experience was highly professional, super friendly, and I was extremely happy with the results. Highly recommend.

I saw Dr. Parker about a year ago to get a bracket on my fixed retainer replaced. She was very sweet and her staff was helpful. I was in and out pretty quickly and price was super reasonable. I was just in her office again this past week because the bonding on one of the brackets chipped off while I was eating. When she looked at it she told me it still had plenty of bonding left on it and just needed to be smoothed out. Apparently I was just being overcautious about it. I was in and out in about 10 minutes and she didn’t even charge me for smoothing it out. She is amazing and very honest!!! I will absolutely be back for any future issues with my fixed retainer! Thanks Dr Parker!!!

My doctor recommended my son visit Dr. Parker for some early orthodontic work. I went to four different orthodontists to see what their treatment plan was, how long it would take and how much it would cost. Three of the orthodontists had a similar treatment plan, but the price quoted by Dr. Parker was lower. This was not my highest priority either. I wanted someone that we liked and could talk to. I was very impressed by the staff working in the office, and I love her waiting room. They have video games in one corner and toys for younger siblings, there is a variety of magazines for parents, and free coffee/​hot chocolate. The few times we have been there is always game to engage the kids to win a raffle prize.
My son lost his retainer when he threw out his lunch tray at school. Dr Parker warned us of this very scenario on our first visit. She is great with the kids, and very warm and welcoming.

Fantastic. Everyone in the office is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Parker comes recommended by my own dentist (Dr. Keeney). She knows what she is doing, is honest, and will provide you with the best treatment.

Dr. Parker and the staff at her office are efficient, knowledgeable and caring, have the patience of saints and probably the most organized doctor’s office I’ve ever been to Three of my grandchildren have used Dr. Parker and I just couldn’t be happier with the care they receive and the results they are having.

I am so confused. I called three times today trying to make an appointment and each person that answered said the same thing. «They are not in yet, call back in 15 min» 20 minutes later i call back… «They are not in yet» call back in 15 – 20 min. First off, whos they?! The dentist? I thought i was calling to make an appointment with whoever would answer the phone but i guess they don’t want my services! Dr. Emerson referred me to her, but now i will have to find another orthodontist since the staff obviously couldn’t help me.

Dr. Parker is one of the nicest, most innovative, cost effective doctors I’ve met in a while. She squeezed me in (a new patient) at the last minute and I left there in much better shape than I was expecting. 5 big stars. Thank you, Dr. Parker!

I went to Dr. Parker’s office for an orthodontic consultation and was very impressed by the level of service. All the staff were very friendly and thorough.

Dr. Parker has been a fantastic orthodontist for our family.

Dr. Parker and her staff are absolutely fantastic. They are honest about what needs to be done and always patient answering questions. Dr. Parker even called me a few days after I was fitted with my first Invisalign tray to make sure everything was going well and I didn’t have any questions or concerns. Talk about great service — I can’t remember the last time MY DOCTOR actually called ME! I am so glad I chose Dr. Parker for my orthodontic treatment.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Parker. It’s wonderful to see someone who is great at what they do, and her calm, soft-​spoken bedside manner, always puts me at ease. Her staff are friendly and well trained, and the office is nice and open, arranged so the chairs face the view out from large windows. I researched quite a bit before deciding to go with her for the many months it would take to straighten my teeth with invisalign, and have been very happy I did! There were a few places who offered a better price, but they did not have Dr. Parker’s specialized training as an orthodontist, and I liked her comprehensive plan that saw the treatment through to the very end, with no surprise costs if it took a little longer than expected.
It was important to me that things be done right, and not be just about the way my teeth looked, but also how my bite worked after my teeth got shifted around. In the initial assessment I had a series of x-​rays taken that allowed them to make a 3-​D computer image, and Dr Parker showed me exactly how the teeth would be moving each week, what adjustments would be made toward correcting certain things including my bite, and how my teeth would look at the end of the treatment.
About a year and a half later, I am now at the end, and my teeth are straight – just like in the computer picture – and I can’t wait to get the little anchors off my teeth (they help the plastic trays to work) and enjoy what has been accomplished! Thank you, Dr. Parker, for your thoughtful responses to all my questions along the way, the careful consideration you gave my bite, and for the lasting change you gave my smile.

Dr. Parker is right down the hall from the (outstanding) Dr. Bartsch. I’m an adult now wearing braces, and she’s made the process much less stressful. Great staff, too. Schedule your teeth cleanings with Dr. Bartsch on the same day as your orthodontic appointment and you’ll have the wires off for extra-​deep cleaning. I’m looking forward to finally having straight teeth in two years …

Wonderful service. Great orthodontist & staff. Only downside is there’s typically a lot of wait time.
