And now, some kind words from patients….
When I was looking for an orthodontist for my daughter, we had consultations with many orthodontist. Some recommended tooth extractions, while others said it wasn't necessary. I was really torn about whether my daughter should have her teeth pulled.
Then we met Dr. Krista. She suggested that we first try a non-extraction plan and see how it goes before making a final decision. Since permanent teeth, once extracted, will never grow back. But if extractions become necessary later, they can be done at any time. I thought this approach was very thoughtful, so we decided to start treatment here -- and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made!
During the orthodontic treatment, I was once uncertain and discussed with the doctor whether extractions were necessary. Dr. K patiently advised us and helped us firmly decide against extractions. My daughter didn't have any teeth removed, and she just had her braces taken off -- the final result was amazing!
This orthodontic office is incredibly warm and welcoming. Every staff member -- the doctors, assistants, and front desk -- is so kind, professional, and responsible. I especially appreciate that parents are allowed to sit next to their children during treatment. It really helps ease the child's anxiety and makes communication with the doctor and assistants much easier. Dr. Krista is always patient and takes the time to answer every single question from me.
We really appreciate Dr. Krista for helping my daughter keep all her healthy teeth perfectly aligned with a beautiful bite. Also, many thanks to Ana, Misty, and Emily for always being so dedicated, careful, and patient in explaining everything during my daughter's treatment.
All in all, this is a clinic that truly makes you feel comfortable and confident -- highly recommended!

I had a wonderful experience having Invisalign done at Orthodontics of San Mateo!
I started with an initial consultation with Dr. Hirasuna and the team. They were very transparent about the process and cost, and did not pressure me at all.
The staff is incredible, everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Appointments start right on time and are incredibly efficient. Dr. Hirasuna is an excellent doctor - kind and very knowledgeable.

My husband was recommended this orthodontist by our dentist, and we are so happy to have found them!
Dr. Krista Hirasuna is a kind and considerate individual, and her staff likewise follow her lead. They make a wonderful office team of ladies and I feel so comfortable whenever we come. They listen carefully to any questions we have and aren't arrogant or brush us off, ever. They also worked hard to try to accommodate our sudden need to move out-of-state in the middle of our treatment.
Ana in particular is the sweetest, gentlest worker, and I really like her, especially. 😊 But the entire team is kind and helpful!
They also have a robust rewards system to keep their patients accountable for self-care and visits, which we love, even as adults! Who wouldn't want to earn prizes for coming to their appointments?!
Thank you all so much! We look forward to the rest of our treatment with you all!

We had several consultations for an expander. This was the best experience and the best price! I had made a post in a mom group asking for recommendations and this was the top recommendation and someone else said she had compared prices and it was the best price in town. There is also a points reward system for prizes that my daughter loves and helps ease her apprehension about treatment.
