Testimonials

"Dr. Woodlief was actually my dentist in Boston - when he was a dental student!! He convinced me it was NOT necessary to follow through with the orthognathic surgery my dentist claimed was needed. At age 50, I rediscovered him in San Jose, and appreciate his courteous, professional staff and his refined skills (expertise). Because he evaluates the whole patient, I benefit with an accurate diagnosis (appropriate oral appliance and other physical therapy modalities he utilizes). Thank you, Dr. Woodlief!!"

"We have been seeing Dr Woodlief for about 17 years and can say nothing but great things about him and his staff. I have a complicated mouth and have had a lot of work done by several other dentists (even endodontists) and have to say that I can't imagine getting better care than Dr Woodlief has provided. First off, he could not be friendlier or more caring...just a really nice guy. He really listens to his patients and their needs and is always up to date on the most cutting edge technology and techniques. My outcomes from several root canals, cap replacements (old) etc., have always been perfect. We moved to Livermore more than 15 Years ago and have never considered looking for a local dentist. Can't recommend him enough."

"Dr. Woodlief is a great dentist. I have been going to him for years. I moved from Oakland to Stockton but I still come to his office for treatment. My wife and I both had our teeth cleaned and everything went well. The cleaning specialist is Erin and she does a great job. The office is pleasant and everyone does a great job in the office. You never have to wait, you will be taken at the time of your appointment or earlier if possible."

"Sept 2010: Dr Woodlief has the best chair-side manner and he does great work. He and his staff are all nice, friendly, and conscientious (not all offices are, unfortunately). Going to this dentist is actually relaxing :-)

June 2012: Dr W helped me get a fabulous dental appliance for sleep apnea, and now I sleep better than I have in ~years~. Oh yeah, those dreams I used to have at night are now a regular thing, and I now wake up more rested and refreshed. What was also nice is that Dr W measured my airway before I did a sleep test to make sure I wasn't wasting my time and money. I am so grateful that I get to feel better and I didn't have to use a CPAP. Dr W is the best dentist ever."

"I have been going to Dr. Woodlief for about 10 years. He is really great! They do not over schedule their appointments. You will be seated in the back within 5 minutes of walking in the door. It is a FULL cleaning unlike other offices. They really take their time with you. He does not B.S. you! I had a dentist tell me I had 4 cavities, which is more than I think Ive had in my life. Dr. Woodlief said I didn't have a single cavity! You can tell the other office just wanted to max out my insurance. You are in and out of there in less than an hour. The office is clean. You ALWAYS have the same dentist which is a big deal to me"

"Love Dr. Woodlief! He fixed both of my kids' teeth - one needed braces, one only needed mouth guards. He is personable, friendly, calming, and has a great chair-side (haha) manner. He did such a great job with my kids that he is now my regular dentist, even though it means driving pretty far out of my way."
— Kat M., San Jose, CA

"Dr. Woodlief is truly as good as it gets. I've tried several dentists over the years and kept switching primarily because of chair-side-manner, pain and discomfort. Dr. Woodlief is so calming, relaxing and pain free, I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. He's also very easy to talk to and very accommodating of the patent's needs. You can't go wrong with Dr. Woodlief."
— Brad M., Fremont, CA

"I started seeing Dr. Woodlief several years ago and I'd highly recommend him to anyone that has or experienced TMD/J issues, sleep disorders, or airway/head pain. He is extremely professional, courteous and up to date within his field of expertise and equipment. He and his staff strive to be on the cutting edge of technology and treatments. I can see the difference from when I first started seeing him and now."
— Kristin S., Castro Valley, CA

"Dr. Woodlief has been my dentist for almost 18 years, and besides seeing him for regular cleanings every six months, I've gone to him for numerous procedures over the years (wisdom teeth pulled, cavities filled, crown, veneers). In every instance, Dr. Woodlief always made sure I was comfortable and always made sure the procedure got done right. Besides this, I know Dr. Woodlief continues to further his education and always stays up to date on what the latest and most effective treatments are for various conditions so. When you have to have major work done, which I've had, it's nice to know that the work being done is the latest and greatest and is being performed by a highly qualified professional."

"He saved my jaw literally! I was referred to Doctor Woodlief for my jaw issues (TMJ). I was literally unable to eat large pieces of food without my jaw popping and locking open in conjunction with chronic headaches. Not only was Doctor Woodlief compassionate to my issues he offered me more options than alot of doctors to treat my TMJ issues. Most doctors only recommend a soft diet but Dr. Woodlief made me custom appliances to fix my jaw issues completely. After a few years of treatment to fix my condition I now wear no appliances and I am able to eat anything I want. Thank You!!! Dr. Woodlief."
