Shasta Orthodontics - Redding, California

My first impression when I called was that the team was an expert in the areas of orthodontia, providing a multitude of service modalities you can access. The young lady I spoke with was very professional, provided me with an appointment sooner than any other office and was able to reassure me that they’d be able to help. I was pleasantly surprised the cost was more than fair. As a college student cost was a determining factor to redo this process; I felt for what they charged me it was reasonable as they allowed me to finance my care and made monthly payments. I knew in that moment that I had to fulfill this goal by partnering up with Dr. McCarthy’s team to get back on track. A few words about her Finance team, they were very transparent, understanding and easy to work with. Of course, I’d love to disclose how much I paid for my treatment, however, the reason why I chose not to share this is in part due to unique circumstances. Like healthcare, everybody is unique; meaning my anatomy cannot be generalized. Ultimately, cost wise Dr. McCarthy was affordable, expedient and the results were beyond what I expected !

After doing my research in Sacramento and the Bay Area, I inquired how much other providers would charge me for a consultation to get a new mold done for retainers. I was in disbelief by the outrageous quotes I received for retainers. A provider in Sacramento (Bright Dental) not only quoted me $1,200 for a pair of retainers, but he also went as far as bad-mouthing Dr. McCarthy’s office because in his view her office “could not retain staff”. After looking tirelessly to avoid having to take the day off of work a drive North, I came to the conclusion that Dr. McCarthy and her team are a gem! I mean this full heartedly as her team always remained consistent, maintained integrity, professionalism and as far as I know being a patient, I did not agree with what the provider said about her or her office. I simply saw this as an uncalled attack because she’s an expert in this field and he had a problem with it. To that provider, my suggestion is shut up- and get to her level!

I came back to Dr. McCarthy at the end of 2020 without reservations. Dr. McCarthy and her staff accepted me with open arms. It was a feeling I can never let go of as they conveyed nothing but love and interests in my oral health. I am ecstatic but also sad that I have completed my treatment recently, because of Dr. McCarthy, I can confidently smile and share my story as oral health goes long ways for the body and the mind. Dr. McCarthy, from the bottom of my hear thank you and your team for taking care of me these past 5 years or so, it has been a pleasure; you have given me the best gift anyone can ever ask for!

For those on the fence:
Look if you’re on the fence because some of the yelp or google reviews, I hear you. Before you decide to pursue services elsewhere, I highly encourage you to shop around and get the information you need. Not every provider is forthcoming or allows the flexibility this office does. Of course, this is not to say they are perfect, but they definitely are committed to bringing the best out of you in no time! If I were you I would say GO FOR IT get your smile back. But of course there are other things to consider like location and such. Overall, I am extremely thankful for having Dr. McCarthy and her team, they will ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE ORTHODONTIC group.

Dr. McCarthy used MARA to fix my overbite and completely ruined my jaw. After I got my braces off I developed severe jaw deterioration and my jaw muscles became extremely weak, causing TMJ. My jaw popped out and locked every time I opened my mouth for years. I am now wearing a $3,000 appliance to fix my jaw and will still need braces to realign my teeth. I am on medication that can cause seizures in hope of preventing further deterioration, which might cause me to need a jaw replacement. I will have constant pain for the rest of my life and will need to wear a night appliance as well. I urge all of you to not subject yourself to this type of pain and choose a different orthodontist!
