Dr. Stafford is a great orthodontist - skilled, knowledgeable, and caring. He has a calming energy that puts you at ease the moment you sit down. He takes the time to explain what he's doing and why, and never makes you feel rushed. The office staff is wonderful, too - friendly, organized, and efficient. I highly recommend Dr. Stafford's practice! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Stafford and his entire office. They took wonderful care of my sons a decade and a half ago (even recommending that one didn't need treatment) and even better care of me when I decided to use Invisalign as an older adult. I'm thrilled with my results! read more

Amazing experience with Dr Stafford and All! I initially saw him about 15 months ago to discuss correcting the spacing I had acquired due to gum disease ( and age ) From the beginning Dr Stafford outlined my care plan, providing details of what we hoped to achieve. Rachelle and Susan always greeted me with a smile when I arrived. They provided me with the estimated insurance and financial information from the start, as well as an estimated timeline. I visited the office every month after my braces were applied and Dr Stafford, as well as his Orthodontic Assistants Jess and Deb, took their time with my exams and explained how things were coming along. Jess and Deb demonstrated how to care for my teeth while in braces and welcomed me back anytime if an issue arose. My braces were removed last week I'm super happy with the results and recommend Dr Stafford to all those seeking braces or Invisalign, the young and the young at heart!! read more

If ZERO or "no star" option was available, that would be DDS' rating. The DDS is a "fraudster," as in the words of Sect. Duffy, US DoT. The practitioner blatantly commits breach of contract and keeps a portion of client's deposit after collecting funds enacting treatment agreement. But despite agreement, zero orthodontic alignment was done and the fraudster willfully kept a portion of the deposit as he commits breach. If you also have experience similar to this or know about this dental and clinical malpractice... Please speak up! Thanks. read more

Dr. Stanford's work is outstanding in both its value and quality. The staff members are very accommodating and always ensure your comfort throughout the process. I highly recommend Dr. Stafford for your family's orthodontic needs. Dr. Stafford provides suggestions on how to prolong the life of the result you wanted beyond just the Invisalign. He suggested and added a "band" to hold my teeth in place for the life of my new smile. Put your family in good hands with Dr. Gary Stafford and his amazing team. Thank you guys for this wonderful experience. read more

Dr. Stafford is an incredible orthodontist. He's knowledgeable about the correct treatment, has a great chairside manner, and ensures that the teeth in the end look their best. I give him the highest recommendation. I had Invisalign on my upper teeth and will eventually return to him one day when I need to do my lower teeth. The office staff is efficient, helpful, and exceedingly nice and flexible regarding appointment times and changes I sometimes needed as a result of work meetings taking longer than I expected. The entire staff is clean and pleasant. Definitely a 5 star practice and results! read more

Excellent patient care. From the start of the orthodontic treatment plan to the end, everyone was so welcoming and happy to provide care. Will definitely recommend this place for anyone who needs orthodontic workout. 10/10 read more

Dr. Stafford and his staff were amazing! I always received wonderful treatment with very little wait. As an older woman, I was worried that my very crooked teeth would take a long time to straighten. Dr. Stafford suggested Invisalign on the top, regular braces on the bottom, AND pulling a tooth right in the front. I was amazed how fast my teeth moved and that it was fully completed within 10 months. I can't believe how straight and beautiful my teeth look. I can't stop smiling! Thank you to the entire office for your helpfulness from the first day until the last! Janis read more

I got adult ceramic braces here, the staff was always so friendly and always a pleasure to talk to! Dr. Stafford was always so thorough with what was going on during my visits and gave me lots of reassurance we would achieve the results we wanted and he made that happen! I couldn't be happier with my smile now, wish I could rate higher. read more

I am an adult who wore braces for 6 years as a child, and then lost my retainers in my late 20's. So here I am again, trying to close gaps, and fix my shifted chompers. When I started asking around, Dr Stafford was highly recommended every single time. I am not exaggerating when I say that Dr Stafford and his entire office are WONDERFUL. Friendly on the phone, quick to respond. Patient, gentle, professional, highly experienced and knowledgable. I appreciated being walked through the entire process and having my options, as a second timer, explained in a private setting with zero pressure. The other HUGE difference to me is that despite being quite admired, they don't overbook. It's not like the other office's I've visited with a body in every chair everywhere, and a packed waiting room. They have also been very accommodating, I am very happy to be able to slide in there at 4:30 pm, after shuttling monkeys around to all of their after school shenanigans. Check all of the boxes- 5 stars all the way! I look forward to including my before after photos to this review. read more

Dr Stafford was amazing! The front desk was extremely helpful and very friendly and the assistants were great. I had my braces for 15 months and my teeth came out looking fantastic. I can't recommend them enough. I'm so thankful they took such great care of me! read more

Dr. Stafford and his team are great. Very caring and accommodating. Dr. Stafford is extremely gentle and I felt very little pain during my procedure. I would highly recommend his office for treatment. read more

Professional care, easy to schedule and coordinate the visits, and great results, just as promised during the initial consultation. I highly recommend Gary Stafford for any orthodontic work one might need. I appreciate his calm and collected demeanor, the friendliness of the staff, and the cleanliness of the facilities.

Dr. Stafford and his staff treated two of my kids' teeth. They did a wonderful job of giving my kids beautiful smiles. They are very patient and good at empowering kids to take charge of their own orthodontic care. We are very pleased with the results. read more

Very happy with the process and the results. Dr. Stafford not only delivered the results, but also delivered it in my timeline and adjusted the treatment based on my requests. Dr. Stafford is also nice and patient. He doesn't impose his professional options on patients, rather he listens and adjust the plan based on patient's feedback. You will feel respected and also in control for the treatment. Office staffs are also very nice and always upbeating. read more

Both of my children have seen Dr. Stafford for braces. Not only is he kind and patient and excellent with children... But he is a fabulous orthodontist! My daughter and son have perfect teeth thanks to Dr. Stafford! I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing orthodontia care. His staff is also very professional and very courteous. Somehow they are always on time LOL and Dr. Stafford personally comes out to talk to the parent after each visit. Amazing practice! I would give six stars or more if I could! read more

I loved Dr. Stafford and everyone in the office. I can't explain how easy it is to feel comfortable here and all the nice things they do for their patients to make braces feel like a big milestone accomplishment instead of something dreaded. read more

I completed my braces treatment and have been so incredibly happy with the results. I wish I had done this sooner. Dr Stafford's incredible expertise and his amazingly patient staff made the entire experience much better than I had ever imagined especially since I had this done much later in life. Thank you Dr Stafford and Team! read more

Wonderful experience, results were great and Dr. Stafford and the entire staff are always pleasant, cooperative and a pleasure to work with. My highest recommendation possible! read more

My orthodontic/Invisalign experience was great and I'm so happy with the results. Thank you Dr.Stafford and staff for your friendly and professional service. read more

My son just finished his ortho treatment which takes about 2.5 years. Dr. Stafford is just great as well as the whole team. They are patient, on time, and took more than a year to help me with insurance issues. Dr. Stafford does not rush into treatment. My son had free consultation for about 2 years until Dr. Stafford thinks it's ready for the treatment. I would highly recommend Dr. Stafford and is team to all my friends. read more

I recently finished my treatment with Dr. Stafford and I am so thrilled with the outcome. Dr. Stafford's kindness, caring and attention to every detail gave me the perfect smile. I couldn't be happier! The staff is friendly, kind and super helpful. Thank you so much to Dr. Stafford and staff! read more

Dr Stafford and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and skilled as well as warm and welcoming. At each office visit, I was greeted by name, I never had to wait, my visit was efficient, and I was given more than ample time to ask questions about my treatment. Dr Stafford answered each of my questions thoughtfully and thoroughly, as well as always gave me a "heads-up" about what was coming next, both during my visits and about future visits. Dr Stafford's background and expertise in orthodontics is incredible. I think he could probably fix anything. Have you seen the before and after photos on his website? Incredible. Before, during, and after my Invisalign treatment, he treated my teeth as a puzzle to be solved...with nothing less than a perfect ending to be had! A self-professed "perfectionist", Dr Stafford made sure that we collectively thought my treatment results were "perfect" before we decided we were done. And even then, he did a bit of filing here and there before he was thoroughly satisfied with the final result. My Invisalign treatment finished a few months earlier than originally anticipated, and the results are: Perfectly straight teeth! Amazing! I highly recommend Dr Stafford and his staff for an honest, thorough, and personal treatment that results in the perfection you've hoped for. read more

Where do I start? The 5 star rating is for a number of reasons. As a parent, I appreciated the special attention to every detail of the process, from perfect tooth alignment to a complete plan after the braces came off. My daughter appreciated how encouraging the staff and Dr. Stafford were toward her concerning wearing the bands. She said it was motivating to keep wearing the bands because they saw such improvement month-after-month. Overall, the whole experience has been fantastic. We are all enjoying seeing my daughters new smile and the confidence that comes with it. Thank you so much Dr. Stafford and Staff! read more

We were referred to Garry Stafford by a family friend. We felt very comfortable starting the process as soon as we finished the first consultation. We trusted him completely. His team does a great job of setting up the next appointment and keeping you on track. He is an amazing orthodontist and I would recommend him to all my friends. Thank you for Trisha's beautiful smile :) read more

I was very happy with the services provided by Dr. Stafford and his staff. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming every time I visited. Most importantly, they make sure you are happy with the outcome and not try to rush you and get you out! I would highly recommend Dr. Stafford! read more

Dr. Stafford and his staff are fabulous. The outcome of my 8 month ortho treatment was a breeze! I couldn't be happier with the results of his true expertise. read more

Gary Stafford, DDS - 8 months of ortho, using elastics nightly to close open bite - Orthodontists Near Me - Pleasanton, California

My son has just completed 2.5 years of excellent orthodontic treatment with Dr. Stafford, and we couldn't be more pleased! He and I had several consultations before we met Dr. Stafford, and once we met him we knew this is where he'd be going for his orthodontic treatment. Dr. Stafford is punctual, friendly, patient and detail-oriented throughout his consultation and treatments. Most importantly, he always addressed my son when discussing treatment. I appreciated this because I'm not the patient, my son is, so speaking directly to him about treatment rather than about him to me may be a small gesture but it made such an impact. He has been very personable with my son, as well as to my husband and me. He would come out to the waiting room after each treatment to give me a quick update on treatment and progress, as well as what we could hope to see/expect in the coming weeks. His assistants and office staff are very friendly and helpful; everything was easy and seamless! They are patient and very accommodating when scheduling future appointments. The cost of braces with Dr. Stafford was very comparable to, if not slightly less than, other orthodontists we had consultations with in Pleasanton/Dublin. His office is not flashy and fancy, but rather clean, comfortable and well-appointed. A few offices we visited for consultations were ostentatious, and came with a price tag to match. We'd rather invest our money into great treatment and a fantastic, knowledgeable orthodontist and that's exactly what we received with Dr. Stafford. THANK YOU, Dr. Stafford, for your wonderful work! THANK YOU to your wonderful team, as well! read more

This was a process I wasn't expecting to do at this age but I got talked into it by my dentist. Dr. Stafford and all of his staff were so good. He is meticulous in his field and checks and double checks what he is doing. It was hard not to laugh sometimes while he was checking, double checking and adjusting things so the teeth would be perfectly aligned. He truly cares about each patient and the end result. He even called me to check in with me the first week when the teeth are really moving a lot. I would highly recommend him to anyone. read more

We had the best experience with Dr. Stafford and his staff! Everything went super smooth from booking appointments to treating my son with the best care ever. My son just got his braces off and looks so handsome now! Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Stafford is the best in the business. He fixed my bite and straightened my teeth many years ago and my teeth are just as good as the day the braces came off. I recently realized I needed a new retainer as mine was worn out - Dr. S and his staff were quick and flexible with my schedule and made me a new retainer. When at the office you feel at home and taken care of. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a fabulous orthodontist. read more

Dr. Stafford and his staff have really impressed me with their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail. First of all, Dr. Stafford knows how to fix crooked teeth! My son went in with a jaw that was too small and unruly teeth growing out of everywhere. I expected him to come out of the treatments with better teeth but instead, he came out with a perfect smile. Really, I did not think it was possible. After each appointment, Dr. Stafford comes out to give me updates on the progress and what to expect in the next few months. He takes his time to answer any questions I may have and never rushes. His office staff is terrific. They are very friendly, caring, and make the scheduling pain free. Whenever I have to make an appointment, which is each time my son visits the office, they try to work with my schedule and are quick to offer alternatives. Finally, his office is clean and welcoming. There is a nice sitting area, a small toddler hang out corner, and a guessing jar (for those who like to place guesses and potentially win a prize). I would highly recommend this practice to anyone who needs orthodontic help. Dr. Stafford is very detailed oriented and takes great pride in his work. read more

I was assigned by my company to work for long term here in US. I started my braces back in my home country and I had a lot of hesitations whether or not to continue it here. I heard of Dr. Stafford from a colleague and me and my husband visited him. Seeing Dr. Stafford that day ended my hesitations. He is so professional. We feel so comfortable talking to him. We asked a lot of questions and he answered all of them. He even cut the extra wire that's poking my gum. So I decided to continue my braces with him. My case is very complicated but Dr. Stafford together with his entire staff (from the schedule, bills and the actual mouth work department) did a great job and made my whole brace journey less painful and with exceptional results. I am now on retainers wearing smiles after 3 years of wearing wires :) Getting used to not covering my mouth when I smile or laugh because I am shy of my teeth. I feel more confident and happy inside out. Without a doubt that I will recommend Dr. Stafford when somebody asks. You can't get wrong with him. read more

Thank you, Dr. Stafford, Deb, Jess & staff for a wonderful experience! I can't thank you enough!  The care and treatment provided within the 2 years for my adult braces went by so quickly! I looked forward to the monthly trips to see how I progressed & to chit chat with Dr. Stafford & staff on our families and Pleasanton community.  It is so great to have an amazing local business team in our Pleasanton community!  Dr. Stafford & staff involved me in every part of the treatment and care along the way & asked if I had any questions or concerns at all times. Will definitely recommend family & friends to experience the same wonderful care! read more
