About Mullins Orthodontics
Dr. Joseph Mullins gets credit for fixing a broken bracket the same day for a visiting family and for turning down treatment he didn't think was needed.
Reviews at Mullins Orthodontics point to Dr. Joseph Mullins fitting in urgent repairs quickly, even for out-of-town patients passing through, and answering the phone reliably when families call. Several notes mention fair rates and a willingness to skip unnecessary treatment or use an existing retainer rather than charge for something new. Half the reviews also describe comfortable experiences with young kids, including toddlers in the office, and complex pediatric cases getting extra attention.

Dr. Mullins and his team made everything such a fun and easy experience for my daughter. They gave a run through the process in detail and it was straight forward. The office was such a nice environment, especially since everyone was so nice and made everything quick and smooth during each appointment. My daughter’s braces experience was great and her teeth look amazing!

I had a great experience with Dr. Mullins throughout my braces treatment. The staff was always friendly, professional, and made every visit comfortable. I'm extremely happy with my results and would highly recommend them to anyone considering braces.

I LOVE Dr Mullins!! He is everything a provider should be. He is so personable, always engaging in such an interactive and sincere way with the whole family. He is patient with scared patients, taking extra time to ensure they are taken care of. He even indulged my 8 year old who wanted his Labubu to be examined 😂😂. He is worth every penny and when I did a cost comparison, his rates are fair, especially for Coronado. When we have forgotten appointments, they are understanding. When we accidentally come a day early they are accommodating. When there’s an issue they squeeze us in same day. His whole staff is amazing, kind, welcoming. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He also ALWAYS gives to CUSD fundraisers and supports our schools.
