Professional and great with kids, and very thorough explaining treatment plan so that parents/kids can understand. Highly recommend!

Dr. Steinhoff and her amazing staff--Margie, Janelle, and C.J.--are truly wonderful! My daughter is a patient here, and we've always felt so cared for. Everyone is kind, helpful, and professional. Dr. Steinhoff is incredibly patient and takes the time to explain everything clearly. She's great with kids, very gentle, and makes them feel comfortable. I recommend her 100%! read more

I can't say enough great things about this entire practice. I've been taking my children here for years as they go through the different phases of orthodontics. Then, I decided to get Invisalign! Watching my children's smiles transform made me want to have the same! Dr Steinhoff is so patient and kind, and is so good at what he does. He helps build the most gorgeous, broad smiles. Thank you to the entire team at Dr. Steinhoff! read more

I've been bringing my kids here for their ortho treatment and every time it has been a very pleasant experience. Dr. Steinhoff is knowledgeable and does not push for treatments. Front and staff in the back are super nice and kind. They put kids to ease during their appointment. Quality of care has been to our satisfaction. Scheduling appointments even for some urgent ones has been easy. Would highly recommend them. read more

Overjoyed! My grandson is a patient and has recently had his braces put on. Needless to say, he was nervous and excited. The care he received and the explanation of what was going on during the process was seamless. He was easily reassured and felt so special during the whole procedure. This Dr./staff truly are wonderful. Not only are they skilled, but they are pleasant and gentle. I can't say enough about the overall positive experience. Thank you for taking such good care of my grandson. read more

Let me start off by saying that these guys are the best. They are not going to promise you miracles, they are going to be upfront and honest with you about what braces option works best for you. I had braces as an adult and paid for them myself (insurance paid for $2 grand, but I paid for the rest). It wasn't cheap but they offer payment plans and it was well worth it. You get what you pay for in a lot of cases and I believe this is one of them. Throughout the process, I was always kept knowing what was going on. It did take longer than everyone expected, it was well worth the wait. The front staff was always lovely and all the techs are so sweet. I never ran into anyone who was rude or mean. I had braces for 2 and a half years so I'm pretty sure I met everyone when I was there. About a year ago, my retainer broke on a flight back home and I had to go in to get it replaced. Everything was just as I remember and everyone was so nice. If you are in the market for an orthodontist, I cannot recommend them enough!!! If done right, hopefully it's something we only deal with once in our lifetime. read more

Dr. Steinhoff is very educated and friendly. I am very happy with my results. However, front desk staff are not very friendly.

Dr.Brian is an excellent orthodontist, and I felt cared for by the ladies in the back!! They do a great job, highly recommend this office

I've been seeing Dr. Steinhoff since last November when I got my first consultation. I unfortunately need corrective jaw surgery for my TMJ, so I was sent to Dr. Steinhoff from my general dentist. Despite not wanting braces as an adult, every time I've been in the office for my appointments, everyone that works there have been amazing. Super friendly, welcoming and they have been able to fit me in same day or the next day if I had an issue with my braces. Dr. Steinhoff is super friendly, and always answers any questions I have when I go in. Highly recommend Dr. Steinhoff if you or your kids need braces! read more

Dr. Steinhoff and his team are professional, knowledgeable, and make you feel like family. My youngest daughter started to receive her orthodontic care with him. The team went above and beyond my expectations with her. He truly cares about his patients. I have heard a lot about the "Steinhoff Smiles" and I look forward to start treatment with my oldest daughter now, I wouldn't bring my children anywhere else! read more

Look no further. Dr. Steinhoff is truly the orthodontist to go to. His staff are very professional and friendly. Highly recommended left my daughter's teeth perfect! read more

Great atmosphere. The front desks gal are super friendly anytime you go in for your appointment. All employees are very professional along with the dentist dr steinhoff who is very knowledgeable. I went there since I was a young child and always had a great experience and my teeth still to this day 20 years later are in great condition. Highly recommend them! read more

I've been going Dr Brian for over 15 years and just know writing a review because I have to give him props, my teeth have remained straight! Started with retainers, after having braces as a child and I'm now continuing my full treatment of Invisalign. I've always had a very positive experience with him and his staff, and I appreciate that he's involved with the community. If you've been a patient of Dr B, please share your experience and support your local business AND if you are looking for some great looking teeth for your or your kids, Dr B is the way to go! read more

I had to get braces in January 2021 to prepare for some jaw surgery I was going to need to treat my sleep apnea. My surgeon highly recommended Dr. Steinhoff. (The surgeon told me Dr. Steinhoff is extremely skilled and that he encourages all his surgical patients to use him.) From Day One, Dr. Steinhoff and his incredible staff were professional, compassionate, friendly and honestly, a lot of fun. I was nervous about the impending surgery and having to deal with braces as an adult. I had my surgery in February and just recently had my braces taken off to complete the nearly two year process. Well, my teeth look INCREDIBLE and I couldn't be more thrilled with the care I received and the final results. I highly recommend Steinhoff Orthodontics and thank everyone who works there for what they did for me. Jason T read more

My brother came here about 20 years ago and had braces. Pretty sure he had headgear too. He has a broken permanent retainer in his mouth currently but I am not surprised because Steinhoff put it in about 20 years ago. I went to another orthodontist and I am glad I did. I came in for a consultation in putting a permanent retainer in. (My orthodontist unfortunately moved to LA so I needed a place to go... thought it was a good idea to go check out the place my brother got his teeth done.) Waste of my valuable time. Doctor was clueless and was treating me like a little kid. (I assume he did this because I look like a college student. Maybe he thought I did not have money?) The doctor did not quote me on a price, he did not tell me if he can do it or not. He was being super unclear. I probably asked the same question about 5 times and he couldn't answer. I decided to go to another place... I went to an ortho in Los Gatos (the guy graduated from Harvard I believe.) Charges a bit more I assume but I would rather pay a lot more than stick with a clueless doctor who can not help me! read more

All 3 of my kids see Dr. Steinhoff and we have been really happy with our experience. They set expectations and walk you through the entire process of your treatment. The staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful. I also like how they give approximate times for appointments so you can plan accordingly. Their estimates are usually spot on. We live in Almaden and this location can't be any more convenient for us. read more

Great staff and doctor. Really honest and tell you everything they're doing and plan to do. Highly recommend.

Great experience overall! Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Very accommodating. Dr. Steinhoff does a great job of explaining and mapping out the whole process for braces. Well run! read more

Dr. Brian and his staff are friendly and amazingly passionate about their work. I've been going to their office for the past 4 years in my journey to correct my under bite and I cannot be more pleased with my results. I want to thank his staff for their perfessionalism especially Margie, Sushma, and Dawn. Thank you Dr. Brian for the smile! :) read more

I'm a 35 y/o and I've seen 7 orthodontists within 5 year. When I went To see Dr. Steinhoff he said everything I wanted to hear. My lower teeth were collapsing inward and at 35 I wanted to correct this. Some other shops wanted to extract teeth. I knew that was the wrong idea. My smile needed to open up. I all ready knew that invisaline wasn't for me, old-school wires! The shop is very clean, the staff is too nice. At first I thought there was something wrong with me. I never met a team of that so nice and courteous. Go meet them for a consultation. What you have to lose- read more

Dr. Steinhoff and his staff are outstanding! Everyone is very professional and friendly. The team takes the time to explain the treatment plans and the cost. My kids enjoy their visits. Their office has expanded and remodeled - excellent job! read more

Nothing but satisfied with the staff members and doctors. Doctor Brian is as good as it gets, genuinely cares for ALL of his patients, and always has a welcoming smile. The office is unfailingly spotless and has seasonal decorations,very kid friendly. There is an obvious system in place, everything and everyone is very professional and punctual. Would recommend to anyone who is in need of orthodontic work. read more

Dr. Brian Steinhoff worked with my oral surgeon and primary dentist during my treatment for braces. He is extremely professional and his staff is exceptional. I have been more than satisfied with the level of service that I received. This place is simply the best. I would highly recommend! read more

I received braces from Steinhoff Orthodontics and I could not have asked for a better orthodontist or treatment experience. I'm sure you've read from previous reviews about how welcoming and friendly the staff is and I'm here to say: it's true! I always felt comfortable under Dr. Brian's care and he would always take the time to answer my questions or concerns, which I appreciated. I also thought it was worth mentioning that one experience I really enjoyed, as a teenager, was collecting ortho-bucks for my good brushing! I loved collecting the ortho-bucks to earn gift cards because who doesn't love Baskin Robbins and Jamba Juice?! Anyways, the staff is great and so is my smile. =D read more

He is one of the best! He makes you smile big with straight teeth.

We moved from Texas with our 14 years old girl who had been wearing braces for the last 2 years and was missing 2 visits before the end of her treatment according to our previous orthodontist. We stopped by Dr Steinhoff's office to potentially sign up for the end of the treatment with him. After a visit Dr steinhoff prescribed another full year of treatment and asked us $3000. We then visited 3 other orthodontists who never made similar comments, presented quotes for less than 1500 and no more than 3 visits. Buyer beware, a very nice front office can hide darker secrets. read more

My daughter has been in her braces for around 6 months so far. I have been very impressed with the Steinhoff practice. When we went for an evaluation, we received photos of our daughter's teeth and a written explanation of the treatment plan. The doctor called us to talk about the treatment to make sure I understood the plan and possible risks involved. The front desk took time to help me understand payment policies and help me work through payment through our company's flex benefits plan. The office is modern and clean. Everyone who is there is really nice and very organized. I've never seen a staff member in a bad mood. This is definitely an organization that is well run and well managed, and which values customer satisfaction. The office tries to make visits fun - kids earn tickets to redeem for prizes for keeping teeth clean and coming back with braces in good shape. There are other monthly contests the kids can enter. "Graduates" are given going away gifts and are featured on a television screen in the lobby. So if you're looking for a caring, fun environment to get your braces, stop by and visit these guys. I'm sure you'll love them the way we do. read more

My children have braces from Dr. Steinhoff, the younger. He is a well-respected orthodontist in the area and we are pleased with his knowledge and treatment, especially since he identified an issue that another orthodontist did not. The rating of 3 stars only is because of availability, not because of any displeasure with the wonderful staff. At least two separate weeks in the last year, no doctors were in the office: they were both on vacation, coinciding with school breaks. There were also separate full days (Wednesdays, and/or Fridays) when no doctor was available. This is difficult, as some "emergency" fixes can only be done by a doctor (bracket falls off, wire pulls out, etc.). Plus, the on-call orthodontist they proscribe can only do the fixes a technician can do, i.e., clip a wire that pokes into the cheek. Twice, this policy has left my child needlessly in pain. I recommend that Steinhoff Orthodontics stagger the "vacations" that the two doctors take, or hire a 3rd orthodontist, so that there is more coverage for "emergencies" that only this practice's own orthodontists can fix. We already speak highly of the Steinhoffs, as does most of Almaden Valley, and this change would increase our admiration even more. read more

My daughter was very unhappy with the service that she received at Steinhoff Orthodontics. They came recommended from Almaden Valley. What I did not know was that wearing rubber bands is their main form of treatment. My daughter is sensitive to pain and had I known that this was their main form of treatment, I would have looked at other practices. Most of the time, her bands crisscrossed in the front which made it very difficult to eat during the day and she was told to were them 24/7 for 9 months. The results did turn out beautiful, but not at the cost that she had to pay. The staff weren't always pleasant and the father, Earl bullied my daughter on a couple of occasions. read more

We love Dr. Steinhoff and his staff! Our appointments are always easy to schedule, and in emergencies they are always willing to squeeze you in. Dr. Brian is friendly and always explains the procedure being done thoroughly. He makes his patients feel comfortable. The front office staff and all the assistants are wonderful as well. read more

My family had a wonderful experience at this office. Dr. Brian and his staff exceeded my expectations. The front office was nice and friendly and welcomed my child by name every time we entered the front door. Dr. Brian was kind and gentle during the entire treatment time and always kept me informed of progress. My daughter always felt comfortable and at ease in his care. The assistants were friendly and very knowledgeable. The location of the office was very convenient for us. I would definitely recommend my family and friends to Dr. Brian and will be taking my 2nd child there when ready for treatment. read more

I have already reviewed this orthodontist office before as a patient and new mother. Now my son is being seen here and I am still pleased with the service! The doctors and staff always make us feel welcome and comfortable. Which is great for a young kid like mine. The front office is always accommodating when trying to schedule the next appt. Very pleased with this office. I can't wait to see the end results. read more

Dr. Brian is a fantastic orthodontist. He did a beautiful job correcting my wife's bite and completed her beautiful smile just days before our wedding! As a general dentist who has referred to Dr. Brian for over 10 years, I can confidently say he is superbly skilled and has a great manner. If you are looking for a conscientious caring orthodontist in the South Bay, I highly recommend him. read more

I love coming to this place! I have been to other orthodontists and nothing beats the quality, price, and cleanliness of Steinhoff Orthodontics. I have been to multiple establishments in the bay area, and i can confidently say that this one is the best by far, and I'm sure you'll feel the same way if you just stop by. I'm never going anywhere else! read more
