I had my first appointment and got my braces on today at Valley Orthodontist in San Rafael with Dr. Rocha, and I honestly couldn't be happier with my experience. From the moment I walked in, Anna at the front desk made me feel welcomed and comfortable. She was friendly, organized, and took the time to clearly explain all the payment details and options, which really helped me feel informed and confident moving forward. I never felt pressured -- just supported and well taken care of. Dr. Rocha was professional, knowledgeable, and very reassuring throughout the entire process. He explained everything clearly before starting and made sure I understood what to expect. I really appreciated how attentive and patient he was. Abby, the assistant who put my braces on, was amazing. She was gentle, thorough, and constantly checked in to make sure I was comfortable. Getting braces can feel intimidating, but she made the whole experience smooth and surprisingly easy. The office is clean, welcoming, and runs efficiently. From start to finish, it was such a positive first experience, and I'm actually excited to begin this journey. Highly recommend Valley Orthodontist and Dr. Rocha to anyone looking for quality, compassionate care in San Rafael! read more

See all

Excellent on every level! I hope my grandchildren have such a caring, kind and knowledgeable orthodontist. She made the journey of having invisalign at an older age even enjoyable! She always said " I got ya" and she did every step of the way! Dr. Rocha is compassionate, understanding...and greets you with a smile. She is the BEST! Thank you Dr. Rocha and your excellent staff. read more

Dr. Rocha has taken great care of my son since the start. But even before that, Dr. Valley and her staff have been nothing but exceptional in identifying Noah's needs and when to start. He had Invisalign started a little over 2 years ago and now has a gorgeous set of straight teeth. They allowed him to be independent in going to his appointments and because of that he had gone from a teen with very questionable hygiene standards to being truly diligent (with no parental prodding!) in his dental care. He managed to not lose a single tray and I have to say it was as painless a process as I could have ever hoped for- considering he's a picky kid, this was the best route for him and I don't regret it at all. I credit the incredible attention and care of Dr. Rocha for helping him get through this milestone. Thank you! read more

We love Valley Ortho! Dr. Rocha has treated the whole family and we are thrilled with the results! She is meticulous and thoughtful, making sure every adjustment was perfect. I really appreciated her communication and I always felt comfortable asking as many questions as I needed! She uses state of the art technology which ensured the treatment went smoothly. The entire team is incredible as well! The front desk is SO responsive and especially helpful navigating insurance questions. The office itself is charming and full of happy patients. I can't recommend this office enough! read more

We have been with valley ortho for 3 rounds of braces! The office staff, technicians, and doctors have all been excellent. In particular, Anna, who helps make appointments has gone above and beyond always squeezing us in, getting in touch, and keeping my daughters on a solid time line with their treatment. The office is always a low stress, positive, clean and organized business. I cannot recommend Valley Ortho enough! read more

Dr Rocha was my orthodontist when I got invisalign. Overall I had a great experience with her and her staff which helped make the process easier and more convenient compared to my last dentist. I had a couple of minor issues that were my fault because I lost my trays multiple times, but she was patient with me the entire time. Thank you to Dr Rocha for improving my smile and giving me a much stronger overall sense of confidence! Ok read more

Friendly staff and warm office environment. Dr. Rocha is very thorough when doing exams and you can tell that she really wants to help you achieve the smile you wish to see back in the mirror. I appreciate her attention to detail. She is also very gentle which is a + for us who are a little nervous in the dentist chair read more

Dr. Rocha has such a talent for making me feel comfortable in what typically would be a very stressful situation for me. She genuinely listened to my concerns and has been incredibly available to go above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the results of my Invisalign. After going my whole life (~30 years) having panic attacks at dentist and orthodontist appointments, I never once had one with Dr. Rocha. I see this as a result of her caring nature, and genuine interest in my comfort and happiness with the result. She personally saw to it that I received the types of retainers that would benefit me most due to specific issues, as well as made sure I felt good about my appointments every step of the way. I drove ~1 hour each way to her office just to see her specifically - VERY worth and it would do it all over again. Cannot sing her praises enough! read more

If you are looking for someone knowledgeable, patient, kind, and sensitive to your individual needs then Dr. Rocha is absolutely the orthodontist to go to! I saw her for over a year for my Invisalign treatment. I initially started with someone else and was thrilled when she took over my treatment. I get highly anxious when it comes to any dentist appointment and Dr. Rocha always helped me feel more comfortable from finding a better location in the office for me to taking the time needed when i needed more time. She also explains step by step what she is doing which helped put my mind at ease. She was encouraging and thorough. At one point I really wanted to quit the process and she helped me stay motivated to finish. And I'm very happy with the results! I highly recommend Dr. Rocha for any orthodontic treatment. read more

Dr. Rocha is not only the best orthodontic and dental professional that I've ever worked with, she is also one of the best medical professionals that I've ever worked with. I've been working with her on my Invisalign journey the past few years, and it has been nothing but an extremely positive experience. Dr.Rocha is very kind, knowledgeable, caring, and she has exceptional bedside manners. She is highly engaged, and has communicated clearly and concisely with me throughout the whole process. I leave every appointment with the big smile on my face, not only because Dr. Rocha did an amazing job with straightening my teeth, but it's just always a pleasure to work with her. If you're in the market for Invisalign, I'd highly suggest contacting Dr. Rocha. read more

This review was a long time coming. Dr. Rocha is an amazing Orthodontist. She has phenomenal bedside manner and is very knowledgeable about treating challenging teeth. She was delicate with my anxious child and patient and made him feel so comfortable. He would not have been able to make it through braces without her. Thank you, Dr. Rocha, for being so amazing!! read more

If I could I'd give Dr Rocha 10 stars! The moment we walked in we were immediately greeted with a warm welcome. The office was clean, organized and had state of the art technology. Nowadays, looking for the right provider is like a needle in a hay stack. We've gone to a few consultations prior to our visit and each office made us feel rushed and pressured. Dr Rocha was the complete opposite, she was like a fresh of breath air. She was thorough in her examination, she explained her treatment plan step by step, she was very patient, kind and answered all of our questions. She was very knowledgable about her specialty. She spoke with confidence and passion, she made us feel safe. I would recommend Dr Rocha to anyone and everyone! We were so impressed with the entire experience that my partner ended up starting the Invisalign treatment right there and then. Thank you so much Dr Rocha! We are so excited to be apart of your dental family :) read more
