Donald L Goudy Jr, DDS

Great Dentist. He knows his stuff and has all the state of the art equipment. The office ladies and assistants are the nicest people you’ll ever meet. Here are some other reasons I love going there… Modern décor (not 1980s pastel wall paper) good music from Pandora (not the radio playing light rock with millions of commercials) and the best part is that they don’t over book patients. The longest I waited for my appointment was 5 minutes. Really. There’s nothing to dislike. One last thing, my daughter (6) loves going there… they have a treasure chest full of goodies for the kids.

I have been seeing Don Goudy for 16 years, and he is the best. He does routine cleanings for me and has also taken care of fillings and crowns in addition to veneers. I get compliments on my smile all the time, and I have Don to thank. Don’s staff is exceptional, and I particularly like that his office has all the latest technology.

Two days ago I had my first exam with Dr Goudy’s office. Through the past 40 years of my existence I have had my share of Dentist visits around the BayArea and Europe. I have yet to experience anything, in the dental industry, to be as pleasant and professional as Dr Goudy’s office. From walking through the front door and being greeted by awesome Renee (she is awesome because we share the same birthdate) at the front desk all the way to the back and checking out, each person that I made eye contact or interacted with had a very positive attitude that made it feel very welcoming. Dr Goudy’s assistant Melissa was genuinely friendly and so thorough in walking me step by step through what to expect in my exam and for my follow up. By the time I actually met Dr Goudy I was completely at ease, as I knew that an environment like that would only exist by great leadership. I was right on the money, not only was he very knowledgeable and working with the best tools and technology in the industry, but very much like his staff possessed a kind and understanding personality. Every Dentist and Orthodontist that I consulted with prior to him had no answer for what I wanted to accomplish or provided me with false hope. Although there was not an immediate solution for me at the time of my exam, Dr Goudy did tell me he was going to spend some time working with his software to figure out his limitations of my bite and bone structure. At my follow up he would play around with some of the options. As my wife and I were home later that evening she asked how my appointment went. My response to her was «I will never go anywhere else».

Dr. Goudy and his staff are the best!
Unfortunately, my 4 year old had to have a couple cavities filled. Their advise in preparation was great, their attention during and after the process were superb.
I was very thankful that he had such a good experience and no long term fears were created. Hopefully, we’ll need nothing other than teeth cleaning going forward.

Dr. Goudy and his staff are top notch, hands-​down. He’s a personable and friendly man, always willing to take the time to explain exactly what he’s going to do and why. His equipment is state of the art, and his fast adoption of new trends (email appointments, online payments, a web portal, emailed x-​rays, low-​radiation digital x-​ray machines, etc) is appreciated in the Valley. His office itself it clean and modern. Very welcoming. Roku/​Netflix/​HD TV in the waiting area (for you television junkies)!
I’ve been a patient for probably going on 10 years. I’ve brought my wife into the fold, who had a lifelong fear of dentists, and who now has none. He was really able to work with her in a way that made her comfortable and worry-​free.
Now I am bringing my kids there as well No fear whatsoever of the dentist from them either, which is the way that it should be.
I don’t live as close I used to to the office, but I still make the trek because it’s worth the extra effort and time. They’re always willing to work with me on my schedule too, namely getting me in at the same time as my kids.

Dr. Goudy is definitely the best dentist in the bay area. He and his staff are professional, personal, and prompt. I have had some complicated dental work and he has taken care of me. I also had some traumatic dental experiences as a child and going to Dr. Goudy has definitely cured my anxiety through his superior dental practice. He has a very nice «bedside» manner and nice social skills to boot. Don has the latest technology, is honest, is gentle (painless!), and always seems to have research-​based knowledge to answer my questions. We moved up the Peninsula and continue to drive down to San Jose to see him.

I have had Don Goudy as my dentist for 6 or 7 years. I’m in my 60’s, and have had traumatic childhood dental experiences that left me with PTSD when ever I got close to a dental chair. I can say without reservation, that
Don is the gentlest, most creative technically, most comforting and reassuring dentist I have ever worked with. He is also authentic as a person and present in his work. He has integrity in his work. He stands behind it, not only with words. In short, I trust him completely, not just with my mouth, but also my my vulnerable self, who’s been through the past pain and challenges. He has a lightness and caring in the midst of his focused professionalism that works!
And the amazing women he has gathered around him, to assist in making this all happen? Wonderful! Caring! Real women!
Oh, Yes, they have the state of the art in dentistry technology!
Thank you Don Goudy and Company!
Much love and gratitude to all of you~

Dr. Goudy was our family dentist before he began taking care of the Sharks at home games. Is there a better dentist in the area??? Maybe, but he and his office are like famiily to me. I enjoy going to the office, seeing the staff and knowing I am getting the best dental care. Also he has the newest equipment, less radiation and someone who relates to me as a person not just a patient. Never pushes products on me and I love his e-​mail appointments. Dr. Goudy always has a smile and really enjoys his work. So happy the Sharks have a team dentist who cares about their dental work. Never have to wait, I arrive for my appointment and in I go.

I have been going to Dr. Goudy for over 2 years! Best Dentist in the Valley!
Great Staff! He is a high tech dentist with the latest technology. The x-​rays are more diagnostic and show cavities way before they would have been found on old-​fashion x-​rays, plus you can see them on your email.
They also use 80% less radiation. You cannot go wrong with Dr Goudy!

Gentle dentist, I’m definitely a fan! :)
Appointments are hard to come by… :(
