Delayed orthodontia for decades, and finally, as a retiree, I decided it was time to fix the overbite and crowded lower teeth that bugged me. Hulme was the best for me because of aligners, a realistic timeline and outcome, and expertise and advice on how to make the process fit my lifestyle. I’m so happy with my smile now. Thanks to Dr Hulme and staff for your encouragement!

I go to Hulme Orthodontics and I love it. It's very clean, the staff is friendly, and they are very good at their job. I have been going for a few years on and off because I've had two sets of braces and so far they are working beautifully.

I recently took my daughter here for a consult. I expected a typical drab outpatient clinic experience - this place was anything but! It was open, bright, and airy, and all the staff were very pleasant and cheerful...at 7:30AM no less! Victoria was amazing, and interacted so well with my daughter during the consult. Lots of games, rewards, perks, etc for the kiddos...they know their clientele very well. I was pleasantly surprised how much they were able to accomplish in just one hour. Just an overall happy place to be, full of good vibes and a great deal of expertise.

This is a very special office that took great care of my son’s dental health over the past two years. The staff and Dr. Hulme went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable in the chair and to provide him with the education to keep up his home care routine. Worth every penny to see his beautiful smile today! I highly recommend choosing this office if your child needs orthodontic care. It is the best in Santa Cruz!

My experience with Dr. Hulme and his staff was exceptional. Dr Hulme is always professional , positive and upbeat. And he listens. In regards to the staff there, not once did I feel uneasy about being in an orthodontist chair. I feel the team there is really composed of the cream of the crop in this profession. Highly recommend !! .
