The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I took my son in for a complementary consultation and all my questions were answered thoroughly. I will definitely be recommending all my friends and family to go and see Dr. Ricupito for orthodontic treatment.

Highly recommend coming to Dr. Ricupito and his team! The entire staff makes you feel welcome from the first time you walk in the door and every step is explained to you as you go through your treatment. Dr. Ricupito enjoys getting to know his patients and chooses the treatment plan that best fits your needs. I am not finished with my treatment yet, but I absolutely love the progress of my smile.

Dr Ricupito and his staff are amazing My daughter got braces for 2 years and through out the treatment we received excellent care and service from each one of them. We are very happy with the result and my daughter loved it. I would recommend Dr Ricupito without any doubt to anyone. I have recommended them to several friends and they too had a good experience here.

My kid had a lot of misaligned teeth and I was worried she would need tooth extraction but Dr Ricupito came up with a customized plan and adjusted her tooth without any tooth extraction. Thank you Ricupito and team!

Dr. Ricupito is truly a great guy, both professional and friendly. I love that every time I come in he makes conversation with me and interacts. He has definitely helped me through my journey with braces, he explains everything throughly and tells us what's best and why. His employees are also extremely friendly and patient!

Dr Ricupito is a talented and friendly orthodontist. He explained me everything on first day and also the process. You should definitely go to him if you need to get braces.

I love this place! They made my teeth super straight and the staff is incredibly friendly and kind. I had absolutely ugly teeth 2 years ago and now they are so straight.

10/10 By far one of most enjoyable experiences I've had. Dr. Ricupito and his staff have helped me on my orthodontic journey for a little over a year now. They do a really good job of communicating what I needed to do to have success and are always happy to answer any questions. The fact that the staff remembers who you are and are always happy at work makes it an enjoyable experience to go to a check in.

Personal story: I had a mini-emergency cause a spring coil broke. During the holidays to make matters worse. But Dr. Ricupito answered my call while he was on vacation and helped me through this orthodontic emergency that was uncomfortable and got me into the office within days. Couldn't ask for a better orthodontist. If you're looking for the best doctor in town, you've come to the right place.

This was my second time getting braces and Dr. Ricupito has been great at solving all of my issues. His staffs are always courteous and there has never been a time when I had to wait to be seen. Dr. Ricupito dedicates his time to care of his patients. If you want great service and a perfect smile, I highly recommend Dr. Ricupito.

Dr. Ricupito is the best orthodontist. My stepdaughter got her braces about a month ago and the entire process has been great. He spent time talking to us and going over options and you could just tell that he genuinely cares for his patients. His staff is always friendly and helpful, and she really likes going to her appointments. He has this great "nickel" program that really makes having braces and taking care of them fun for the kids. I can't say enough great things about Dr. Ricupito and his staff, if you are looking for an orthodontist, I totally recommend him!

Dr. Ricupito is a great orthodontist, if you are looking for one then you want to go to him. My daughter needed to get braces and he did the best job explaining everything to us, so we understood all our options. The office is great, and everyone is very helpful. The entire experience has been a breeze and they make everything comfortable and easy. My daughter has been happy with the entire experience and looks forward to going to her appointments. I give him five stars for sure.

One of my boys had a complicated case with two front teeth missing. His smile looks amazing with no implants. It's always a pleasure coming into the office. The staff and Dr. R. are great! Thank you!

Dr. Ricupito and his staff are amazing if I could give him more stars I would! He is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough and just does amazing work. I went to him for orthodontic work when I was a teenager and when my seven-year old's dentist recommended she be seen, there wasn't anyone else I was taking her to. My daughter feels so comfortable with him and he has made the entire experience positive for her.

She was excited to get her braces on and she loves going to her appointments. His office staff is very friendly and always super helpful. If you are looking for an expert in the field that goes above and beyond for his patients, then you want to see Dr. Ricupito.

The office and Dr. R are practically family at this point. I've had braces, jaw surgery, and Invisalign/retainer tweaks to give me a perfectly aligned, comfortable, and attractive bite/profile (and no more lock jaw or jaw joint erosion). Even after removing my braces, he has gone above and beyond with retainer tweaks to fine tune. He is the BEST there is at his craft!

"Dr." Ricupito is a Liar and a snake. Currently researching how I'm going to file a medical malpractice lawsuit against this asshole. Here's what can be guaranteed by a visit to this office: willy nilly timelines for braces, ever changing fees and costs, a moving target to get a single question answered, and insurance coverage. OH WAIT. did he forgot to mention A YEAR AGO there is no coverage for that? Do yourself and you family and favor and go anywhere else. Frankly, signing a contract with a monkey would ensure better service and less headache.

My son's treatment with Dr. Ricupito Initially my son's improvement was very slow, but Dr. Ricupito was very patient to stick to the original game plan, . finally it worked! Some people said the Americans have the best smile compared with the people in the rest of world. Now I know why: Dr. Ricupito and many others, spend their life energy to dedicate to this special field! The Americans are very lucky!

Dr Ricupito and his staff are wonderful! My kids have been going to him for braces for years. I recently visited his office for TMJ evaluation. Dr Ricupito and his staff Irma carefully went over the steps I need to treat my jaw problems. A splint was made for my teeth and will be ready in just a few days. Thank you! -Sophie Lee Kowalski

Amazing Orthodontist. I was a little nervous getting braces AGAIN and Dr. Ricupito made me feel so at ease with the entire process. He is not only friendly, he will make sure to get you scheduled asap if you have any problems. The entire staff is always so friendly when I walk in for my monthly appointments. If you are looking for any orthodontics in the Danville/San Ramon area be sure to check this office out.

My daughter has been here for a year and I am amazed at her results so far! I even decided to become a patient myself and started treatment. Great office staff and nice location. I wish my orthodontist was this much fun when I was young. Prices are GOOD. You get what you pay for which is important in this line of work.

Dr. Ricupito and his friendly office supported my orthodontics nearly 6 years ago and I have referred three people to his office since. Not only was my experience professional, it was also informative and transformational! I think him every day that I look in the mirror. Thank you, Dr. Ricupito!

I feel thankful for Dr. Ricupito and wanted to take the time to write a review. He was clearly recommended by my dentist and by adults and children I knew, so I chose him several years ago when I needed orthodontics to realign my teeth that were shifting with age. During my two-year experience, I found Dr. Ricupito to be very intelligent, thorough, insightful, and kind.

His patients are from many different races, and above all, he cares and he did an excellent job restoring my teeth. So, three weeks ago, when my black lab puppy chewed through my box, and ate my retainers, I called Dr Ricupito. I truly appreciate the fact that I can depend on Dr. R and his staff to provide a bright, clean, and efficient office. Also when I have needed extra care and time, they have always been there to provide the help I need - and I am not always the easiest patient!

They have even understood when I got delayed or needed to change a time! Also, over the years, from listening to Dr. Ricupito, and sharing and asking questions, I have learned how compassionate and deeply committed he is to his patients, his staff, and his community. He grew up in the area where he works, and he gives back to his community by truly bring there to sponsor school and sports teams and to provide counseling and care for others.

I am thankful to be seeing Dr. Ricupito again, and this time I know I will benefit from his knowledge and skill in using Invisalign. Also, when I have questions or need extra time, I will take the responsibility of asking for it and I know I'll receive quality care.

This is a first-rate orthodontic practice. The office is impeccably clean. The staff is professional. The doctor is thorough and very good with kids. Even when the office is busy, they make every effort to see patients on time and get them out quickly. I highly recommend Dr. Ricupito.
