“I have known Dr. Quo personally and professionally for over 10 years. She has helped both of my kids (9 and 12) with expansion that resulted in better smiles, sleep, and improved academics. As a fellow sleep physician, I cannot recommend any other group more. The staff is highly prompt and professional. Dr. Quo and Dr. Schron are both highly knowledgeable, and a pleasure for both the kids and the parents to work with. A huge thanks!”

"Dr. Stacey Quo has treated both of my daughters for the last 3 years for their misaligned teeth. In her first appointment with them, she immediately noticed they had smaller jaws and were 'mouth breathers.' She recommended that we see a sleep specialist to determine if they might have sleep apnea. This was a complete surprise as I took my children to see Dr. Quo thinking she was just going to help straighten their teeth. We took Dr. Quo's advice and after having sleep studies, both of my kids were diagnosed with sleep apnea. Thank goodness she observed this problem because even their Pediatrician did not recommend any additional studies despite their allergy symptoms and delayed growth. Two and a half years after beginning their sleep apnea treatment, both of my kids have few to no allergy symptoms and are back on the growth chart! Her expertise in orthodontics is unsurpassed and her knowledge of these other medical conditions as they relate to the mouth and jaw are incredible."

“I brought my son here to be evaluated for braces. Instead was recommended to have spacers installed to help with the misaligned teeth and help with his cross bite. Andrea was our dental assistant and she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the steps to take with this process. As well as being readily available whenever we needed her help post procedure with making adjustments and tightening the equipment. She was great!! I would definitely recommend bringing your children here, we are very happy with the service received! My son's alignment and bite have improved drastically, we are very pleased, and happy this was taken care of sooner than later!”

"Dr. Quo is the best Orthodontist that I found after 5 consultations with different doctors. She is a great listener to listen to my dental issues, very gentle and provided the best solution for my bite issues. Now my teeth are fully functional on both sides. Thank you Dr. Guo and your team!"

“I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Dr. Schron and the team at Mid Peninsula Orthodontics! From my very first consultation and now during my treatment, everything has been top-notch. Dr. Schron took the time to thoroughly explain the Invisalign process and answer all my questions, which made me feel confident and at ease throughout my ortho journey. The staff is always friendly, professional. They are very accommodating to my schedule, I'm a full time nursing student. I highly recommend Mid Peninsula Orthodontics.”

“Dr. Quo and her staff are great. I had Orthodontic treatment at Mid Peninsula Orthodontics a few years ago as an adult and braces really changed my smile and my self esteem. As a child my parents did not have the means to pay for Ortho treatment and I was a child/teen who did not smile showing my teeth. I’m truly thankful to Dr. Quo for transforming my smile. I feel confident to speak and show my teeth in front of a room full of people during meetings. I highly recommend this office to anyone that is seeking Orthodontic treatment.”

“Stacey has helped two of my boys make it through braces and is currently working with the third. She is always respectful and conscious of each of their individual needs - both clinically and personally. Her office is well organized and always positive. She had a very keen sense on how to work with kids, appropriate for their developmental age. Stacey Quo works to teach her patients about their care. As an example, she reinforces the importance of wearing their retainer, and knows that kids lose things - including retainers. She encourages kids to write a paragraph when they lose their retainer to make sure they've thought about how to prevent it in the future. This saves the parents and child both money, time and future orthodontic work. I always highly recommend her and the entire office.”

“Last Friday, when I was in LA, my son called me saying that his brace was falling partially after biting a hard candy. He can't eat regularly without fixing the brace. It was 6 pm Friday night, the office was closed. I left a message on Dr. Quo's cell phone, and hope she will call me back during the weekends. Dr. Quo responded right away, and was willing to see my son at 9:30 pm in her office since she was in San Francisco now. But my son was with Grandma that weekend, and they didn't have a car, Dr. Quo even offered to pick them up and drop them home. My son was very happy the whole time. I was so touched and can't believe Dr. Quo willing to go the extra mile. Thank you Dr. Quo! I will recommend her to my friends.”

"An incredible orthodontist! My dentist asked me to see Dr. Quo to correct my bite. During one of my visits, she asked if I woke up with morning headaches, and I've had migraines for years. She referred me for sleep apnea testing. I was skeptical, but I trusted her opinion and have tried everything to rid the migraines. I had sleep apnea, had it treated and amazingly my migraines went away. Even my physician was surprised that my orthodontist was the one who found it."

“I’m grateful that my 19 yr old son was referred to this practice by his prior Orthodontists who had maxed out on what they could do with braces and Invisalign for his Class III malocclusion. We feel beyond fortunate to have been matched with Dr. Stacey Quo’s new associate Dr. Diana Schron, who trained at the top institutions and is a specialist in MSE maxillary skeletal expansion. Completely sensitive to the fact my son was approaching an age when the treatment could be less effective, the support staff expedited his appointment. (I could write an entire review on how supportive they all are from receptionists/schedulers to technical assistants, to insurance liaison!) The placement took an hour and was really smooth and straightforward. My son has been doing his expansions and wearing a face-mask for the last 8 months. He has had check-ins with Dr. Schron every few weeks at which she customizes and optimizes his regimen. We are thrilled that his follow-up images demonstrate increased airway and improvement in his jaw relationship. The expected gaps between his teeth don’t look that bad, and the braces will take care of those. I can’t rave enough about how happy I am to have my son receive care from such supremely competent Orthodontists and a comprehensive, caring, seamlessly-run clinic. I recommend them without reservation!”

“I had braces and two impacted canines growing up so of course I had to get them corrected. Got the teeth corrected in a different country but never wore my retainers... After consulting with Dr. Quo and Dr. Schron, I was informed that teeth will always move even after correcting them. Being an adult with braces was not a goal, but having my teeth back to the correct alignment is. So Dr. Schron advised doing Invisalign to help me get back to my old smile. As of right now, teeth are lining up. Thank you Dr. Quo and Dr. Schron for being so attentive, informative, and very detail oriented.”

She is very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. I needed a new mouthguard but I told her that I didn't wear my old one since I got it because it was too bulky for me. We discussed the options and she gave me a solution right away. She recommended a device to help jaw muscles relax and that would have the same purpose as a mouthguard. I’ve been having jaw pain and clicking for years and I’m noticing that the pain has reduced significantly and my jaw muscles are not tense anymore. I highly recommend Dr. Quo and her team that are very nice with patients."

"I recently started the treatment to straighten my teeth with Mid Peninsula Orthodontics and so far it has been amazing. The staff has been very helpful. They took pictures, x-rays, and even a 3d scan of my teeth, set out a game plan, and gave me a very reasonable quote for the amount of work my teeth need. Not only will they help me get the smile I've always wanted, but they're also helping me breathe better. I was able to use my FSA card to help pay for my braces which is a big help."

“My husband and two sons all went through orthodontic treatment with Dr. Quo. We have always been impressed by the professionalism with which the office is run, from scheduling appointments over starting them on time and the actual work being performed by Dr. Quo and her friendly assistants. A couple of times when we needed help outside of the regular appointments (while traveling overseas or over a long weekend), Dr. Quo was always available to help us out in her very encouraging and patient manner.”

“Dr. Quo is just amazing on every level. She was highly recommended and works closely with the Stanford Sleep Clinic. My 8 year old had severe sleep apnea, and after getting tonsils and adenoids removed, was one of the few not cured. Her narrow airway and low muscle tone and small mouth, were the reasons behind insufficient air while sleeping. Dr. Quo expanded her palette to create more room. My daughter tolerates treatment from her very well, and her kind, professional staff in her organized and punctual office as well! We drive from out of town to see her, and so phase 2 and phase 3 of our treatment will only be with her! Couldn't be happier, and feel so fortunate to have found her. My other daughter is getting treatment from her as well, and her patients I meet in the office and the whole families that go to her are a wonderful testament of their confidence and satisfaction with her! Just can't say enough positive things about her.”

“Dr. Quo and all her staff are amazing and super helpful and responsive. She's the one who helped us figure out that one of our sons had pretty severe apnea when we had no idea because a sleep test had shown that he didn't (who knew orthodontists knew so much about sleep?!). She pointed us towards the right specialists, and her staff held my hand as I dealt with insurance reimbursement for orthodontia for medical issue. Fast forward a year later when we did a follow up sleep test and couldn't get an appointment with the sleep doctor we needed to see after multiple frustrating phone calls over several months. Dr. Quo put in a word, and like magic, we received a call from the doctor's office a few days later. She is clearly an expert and highly regarded by other medical professionals. She has great "bedside manner" with my kids, both when they were 7 years old and now, when I've got one in high school. When we were first looking for an orthodontist for my older child, I talked to three other orthodontists first because I had to wait so long for an appointment with Dr. Quo. The first told us my son needed braces months ago; the second told us he would probably never need braces. Clearly, one of them had to be wrong. I went to see a third orthodontist who suggested expansion, but without a lot of explanation. By that time, our appointment with Dr. Quo had almost rolled around, so I decided to wait to see what she said. I'm glad I did! She said nothing was needed now, but we'd monitor to determine when he would need braces. She doubted he would need expansion. She gave really clear explanations of the signposts we'd look for to determine whether he'd need expansion or braces. Eventually, I brought my younger child in to see her as well, and that was when she caught the sleep apnea which we thought we had ruled out. Thank you, Dr. Quo!”

“I am an adult who had worn and chipped front teeth. Dr. Quo corrected my bite so I no longer cause excessive wear on my upper front teeth. She made enough room so I could have 3 new crowns in a more youthful length and shape. In addition, she improved my "gummy" smile. As I wore my teeth thinner and shorter, my front teeth kept extruding to keep enabling me to bite through my food. That resulted in my upper front teeth showing more gums than the rest of my teeth. It amazed me that Dr. Quo could intrude my front teeth to make my upper front gumline match my upper lip smile line and the bottom edges of my upper front teeth match my lower smile line. That means pushing my front teeth upwards and the gumline painlessly follows), into a more attractive shallow curve instead of my front teeth dipping lower than the rest. Click on the BEFORE and AFTER photos to see the full smile. The BEFORE photo shows how I looked just before Dr. Quo started treatment. The AFTER photo was taken today, about 10 years after she completed her treatment. I am going back in to see her soon, simply to make a new retainer to prevent the teeth from shifting. I am still very happy with my improved, more attractive smile after all these years! L. W.”

“Amazing experience with Dr. Quo and her staff! From my first appointment to the ongoing care after getting my braces off, their service has been superb. As an adult this was my second time having braces (first time as a teen was w/another orthodontist) the care I received was personalized and thoughtful. They take a lot of pride in their work from the lovely receptionists to Dr.Quo’s assistants’ who are highly skilled. They listened closely to my concerns and did an excellent job explaining each phase and what I needed to do in order to align my teeth correctly without delay. I followed their instructions to the tee and I was able to finish my treatment months before my end date! I trusted Dr.Quo with my treatment plan and loved how my teeth aligned and my new smile! I can’t recommend them enough to children and/or adults… Dr. Quo is the way to go!”
