Brian C Quo, DDS

Great children’s dentist. He has taken good care of my child ‘s teeth and caught a significant problem, which we were able to get taken care of in time!

I am so lucky that my friend referred me to Dr. Quo. My son had an emergency dental appointment and Dr. Quo squeezed us into his schedule the day after I called! I live in the east bay, but I am so glad that I took my friend’s advice to try Dr. Quo. When we arrived, the waiting room had a great play area which set a positive mood for my son. We were called soon after we arrived and my son settled into the room very quickly. The monitor mounted on the ceiling, playing «Cars» (the movie), was so exciting for my son that he practically jumped onto the operating table to lie down! He looked so relaxed… which helped ME relax!
Dr. Quo explained everything to my son before each step of the procedure. He has an excellent bed-​side manner and even used kid-​friendly terms like calling the gauze a «blanket» to wrap around the tongue. I was feeling anxious knowing my son was having an emergency procedure (an extraction!), but I really relaxed as my son was at ease. The entire procedure was so quick too. I appreciated that Dr. Quo was kind & gentle to my son while being efficient & thorough (good for mom!)!
I also noticed something that is important to me – the office is immaculate. When a medical office is clean and well-​organized, it shows attention to detail… besides being sanitary, which is important for this type of business. I highly recommend Dr. Quo and would definitely go back!

Dr. Quo is an amazing pediatric dentist! Dr. Quo & his entire staff are so friendly, gentle and patient. My 6 year-​old had to have two cavities filled and it was a pain-​free procedure. She didn’t even notice till we told her it was done! We’ve been going to Dr. Quo for years and don’t even mind the drive from South San Jose! I highly recommend Dr. Quo!

Dr. Quo is a very nice, gentle dentist, he has a very well organized practice and he is great with kids.
So why only three stars: he is SO expensive. We always have to pay substantially over the insurance payments. Our kids aren’t really that traumatized by going to the dentist and there are other good, nice dentists around: as nice as Dr. Quo is, it isn’t justified to pay through the nose for routine care.

We have been happy with Dr. Quo for a few years. My kids like him. However, he is so popular now that it is impossible to make a change in appt. The next available appt after school is more than 4 months away!!! I understand being «fully» booked, but this full?

Great dentist and service. Bill for cleaning and xray, $ 339, mine was $ 239. Hmmm… I think we may have shop around because I’m not sure we should pay $ 100 more than what we’ve paid for out adult teeth.

He was great with my kids but after taking them to another dentist we found out he did a lot more work then was needed after all.

Just had to update and say I’m still as happy as I was a year ago! In fact, my daughter has recently begun to beg to go to her dentist’s office. She doesn’t think twice a year is nearly enough!

I have never written a Unilocal review before but I was compelled to do so about Dr. Quo. Today, my almost-​7-​year old daughter had her first cavities filled by Dr. Quo. My child has had a very strong anxiety towards dentists since she was 2. We have cycled through 3 different dentists, all for whom she would scream bloody murder just for the cleanings. In the last year, we attempted twice to complete a simple procedure for sealing her molars, a simple preventative and painless procedure that is totally non-​invasive. She could not handle it; she would resist the nitrous oxide, she would cry so hard that she would choke, and both times the dentist had to give up.
We went to Dr. Quo when she chipped her front permanent tooth a few months ago. Magically, that appointment went quite well. There were tears, but not hysteria. We were making progress.
We then went for a cleaning — again, some anxieties but much calmer.
Today was the ultimate test… to have fillings is a big deal and something both she and I were anxious about. Dr. Quo suggested I stay in the lobby which was really hard for me, but I was amazed to see that my daughter agreed. That was unheard of.
As I sat there, I expected to hear screams at any moment. Nothing. After about 10 mintues, the assistant came out and told me she was doing great. She had had the shot and didn’t even feel it! She was not crying and was doing fine… what!!!
I held my breath and assumed the screams would come any minute and we had just had a lucky break.
After about 20 minutes, out prances my daughter, clutching her doggie, with a huge smile on her face. She was done! And she didn’t cry! And she was smiling!
Now I can credit some of this maybe to her getting a little bit older and more mature. But MOST of this, I credit Dr. Quo and his staff. His bedside, calm respectful manner with children is amazing. She is totally comfortable with him and he helped her overcome her fears and get through this appointment without a hitch.
She told me afterwards «It didn’t hurt at all». So now we have a positive experience towards dentistry and will help shape her experiences going forward. I was so thrilled I called my whole family and no one could believe it!
I highly recommend Dr. Quo. Unfortunately he is not in our insurance network so I have to pay alot out of pocket but we have decided it is worth it, as his skills are phenomenal (he made my daughter’s chipped tooth look like nothing had happened) and his calm nature is a life-​saver.

Whew! What a relief! My 4-​year-​old son’s first dentist appointment was a dream! Dr. Quo was wonderful with him, treating him so nicely and then treating me so professionally as well! The office was inviting to visit, my son loved the toys and the personal TV screen in the patient room was a great distracting touch! The dentist chairs are kid sized and there are plenty of mommy and daddy magazines to keep us happy too! We loved the vending machine toy he got to pick out and couldn’t wait to go back! Wow!

Dr. Quo is great! He has a great bedside manner and is really understanding when my son is, ummm, uncooperative.
My four year-​old loves coming here because :
1. there are tons of toys he can play with in the waiting area
2. he can watch cartoons while they are cleaning his teeth
3. he gets a bag of goodies with each visit (e.g. toothbrushes, hourglass, etc.)
4. at the end of the visit, he gets a gold coin that retrieves him a toy from the vending machine.
I love this place because I get in and out quickly and the waiting area is so clean! The hygienists are great as well — nice, thorough, and quick.

We have heard very good things about Dr. Quo, and I am sure he is very good. However, in my daughter’s particular case, a second doctor recommended significantly less work be performed on her baby teeth. I suppose it’s not really possible to say for sure, unless something bad comes of our not opting to do the work recommended by Dr Quo, but in our case we were very happy to find a different doctor with a much more conservative approach.

Hmmm, I’m surprised that there are no reviews for Dr. Brian Quo, my kids’ dentist for the past couple years. He’s kind, gentle, and thoughtful, and his his office staff is pleasant and efficient. He doesn’t talk down to kids or parents, and he offers suggestions in a friendly and not-​overbearing way. Yes, he knows we know we need to floss more…
My 7yo son is very nervous about needles, etc. and is easily freaked out in general. He’s had cleanings and fillings twice (bummer!). When he had multiple fillings at once, we opted to go with sedation — pricey but relatively painless. The second instance, a filling needed to be replaced and Dr. Quo was able to do it without needing anesthesia. He checks in often to make sure my son is comfortable and does a great job explaining what’s going on.
My daughter, who started going at age 2, thinks that going to the dentist is like going to the spa. Or the movies. Plus you get a toy at the end.
The office itself is very kid-​friendly. Lots of toys, games, books, and movies to keep the kids occupied while their little mouths are being worked on.
Although Dr. Quo not a preferred provider on our dental insurance, the office staff is quick to submit claims and we’ve never had a problem getting reimbursed promptly.
