Richard E Quan, DDS

My daughter had an ortho emergency on a day the office was closed. Dr. Quan responded quickly and worked around my schedule to get my daughter seen that day. We mostly appreciate his kindness and patience as my daughter had to explain she opened her mouth too wide and the ortho hardware came apart. Apparently, it’s very unusual to do what my daughter did, but there was no fuss or lecture about it or about how he had to open the office on his day off.

Excellent, highly knowledgable, honest, and exemplary orthodontist. His team is awesome and genuinely caring! They don’t beat around the bush with pricing for Invisalign. Free consultation, and kid friendly!

Dr. Quan and his staff are great! they are patient and very comforting. My son has been getting treatment there for almost a year now and I couldn’t be happier. The office a nice and always clean, Dr. Quan has always been available for me when i’ve had questions or needed update.
It took a few weeks for my son to get used to his braces but in time he learned what not to eat and how to take care of his brackets with Dr. Quan’s help.

I met Dr. Quan way back in 1996 or so when he installed my braces. I really don’t remember much about going when I was a kid other than having my brackets repaired because I kept chewing gum and eating hard candy. I do remember that I was seen promptly. I had them until 2001, after that he made me a retainer that I was to wear daily to prevent my teeth from shifting. I recently went back to him after all these years because my dentist advised me that I was grinding my teeth and I needed a mouth guard that would fit with my existing retainer. I went back and he is just as I remembered him: patient, understanding, and helpful. His staff is friendly too. The office is nice as well. He’s been very accommodating as he as adjusted my retainer a few times. I would definitely recommend him!

I had braces for four years with Dr. Quan. I would ESPECIALLY not recommend Dr. Quan for patients that may need TMJ surgery. You will waste your time and money.
During the removal of my braces, Dr. Quan scraped all of my teeth to the point that my enamel was destroyed and my teeth were dull. I had to get veneers because of this!
The fat «sales lady» in the front is really pushy and rude. She must be working on commission because she guilted my parents into paying more money for unnecessary reasons. Don’t be fooled, she will do the same to you.
I had to wait an hour (with an appointment) in the waiting room just to be seen EVERY TIME. Terrible customer service.
My boyfriend also had a terrible experience with them as they quoted him SIX times the price of an even better orthodontist. This place is a major scam. You have been warned.

My son gets braces form Dr. Quan. Initially, there were lots of problems with the brackets popping off. Dr. Quan is really busy, so it took several weeks to reschedule. It took him several visits before the brackets stopped popping off. Since then, it has been OK.

Dr. Quan genuinely saved my life! I had all kinds of teeth/​mouth/​under-​developed jaw problems as a kid and Dr. Quan made my smile absolutely beautiful. What an amazing guy! I get TONS of compliments on my teeth. I actually work for an orthodontist myself now and patients come into our office and will tell me «I want my teeth to look like yours when I’m done with my braces», and it is honestly all thanks to Dr. Quan.
The staff is always pleasant, and Dr. Quan is VERY caring. He is a very patient guy, so if you have an unruly kid or just have a lot of questions, he’s your doctor for sure. He is great for kids but excellent for adults as well. He makes his treatment plans simple enough for anyone to understand but has enough knowledge and expertise to go into great detail about what he plans to do if you can handle the technical side :)
I actually had treatment twice in his office because I didn’t wear my retainers (I returned for re-​treatment as an adult) and he put braces on me again, no questions asked, without making me feel bad. I still wear the retainers he made every night and my teeth are perfect.
I could not be any happier with Dr. Quan. He really does change lives. What an awesome practice! Definitely give him a try if you are looking for a good orthodontist. Get his opinion and go from there. You won’t regret it.

Love Dr. Quan. So sad he left. :/​the last time I went back was a couple of years ago for my two year retainer check. :(Always looked forward to my monthly orthodontist visit!

I got my braces when I was 21. Dr. Quan was recommended by my dentist. I love this office. The facility is very clean and there is always parking. The staff is super friendly; everyone knows your name.

I love Dr. Quan!!! He’s amazing and sooo nice! I got my braces back when I was a 6^th grader so about 7 or 8 years ago? I didn’t go to this office, but I was a pateient at the one on Berryessa Rd. instead, by the Safeway and Bank of America. His office was really clean and it felt really cozy. My mama decided to take me here because 9 out of the 10 people she asked recommended her to Dr Quan. This is a great place for kids because every time you go in for tightening, he gives them «Quan Bucks» which you then can trade for different prizes. Loveeee it!

I got my braces when I was 26 years old. I was hesitant to pull out my teeth, even though Dr. Quan was highly recommending it. I mean, they were just teeth. but they were MY teeth. I found out that I was quite attached to them, especially since once I pulled them I can never get them back. I asked him if we can just do the braces and wait to see how my teeth move before I remove any teeth. He warned me that it would add about 6 extra months to my treatment, but agreed that it was not a bad idea to try. After 2 or 3 months, it was becoming apparent that I was going to need to remove the teeth. He showed me how the teeth would make my lips protrude and how it would affect my profile. So, I pulled the teeth. But I appreciate the fact that he did not pressure me to do something I did not want to do, and he supported my decision.
His office is always very nice with smiling assistants who seem to always be happy. There are little TV’s at every chair where you can relax and watch whatever movie they have on. Also, my appointments are usually quick, in and out. There is not usually a long wait like other Doctor offices.
I have about 1.5 more years to go on my braces…
