My sister and I got our braces here. This was my second time needing braces in my life and I was extremely picky as to where I wanted to go. The first ortho I had was absolutely terrible. Coming here changed my ortho experience. Everyone was extremely friendly and professional. The beautiful women working in the front and in the back were always so sweet and never judged the questions I had. Dr. Stockdale makes fresh baked cookies for his clients with boxed juices out front. Honestly, what ortho does that?! HE DOES AND BLESS HIS BEAUTIFUL HEART! They are the best cookies I’ve ever had! I’m giving this another 5 stars for the cookies. As for the financial aspect of it, there was only one time that a payment did not go through and they called me. The woman I spoke to was, again, very nice about it. She wasn’t pushy or mean at the fact that my payment didn’t go through. They are very flexible and considerate on payment methods. In my opinion, they were not expensive compared to other places I checked for braces-quotes. I’ve officially finished my payments a few months ago. I recommend this place 100%

I could not be happier with my experience at Rancho Cucamonga Orthodontics! Dr.Stockdale explained all the stages of my treatment in detail and is always happy to answer any questions I have. All the girls in the office are so warm and friendly and always willing to answer questions and help with concerns. I have been in treatment about 8 months so far and definitely see amazing changes in my smile I can’t wait to see the final product I just know I’m going to finally like my teeth. I am so happy with my decision to get my braces treatment here and I highly recommend anyone of any age to come here too! You will love it here and be very impressed with the doctors skill, professionalism, patience, and pleasant attitude. 5 stars all the way 🙂

First and foremost I want to say 5 stars is truly NOT ENOUGH and everyone single one of the staff deserve more stars then I can count. The Ladies up front are not only welcoming EVERY SINGLE time anyone walks in the door, but they truly go above and beyond making you feel apart of the family because that is how the staff is. Being a person that needs late appointments due to my work schedule, they are always accommodating and do EVERYTHING they can to put me in a time that works. I started my treatment knowing that my previous history with dental work and dental issues was going to be much more difficult then the average patient. Not to mention the anxiety and uneasiness of dental work in general. They have always made sure that I was comfortable and communicated to me what was going to be happening with each visit. All of the front staff have been extremely helpful from the start of my first consultation. They reassured me of the best possible route for treatment, insurance coverage, and payment plans making the entire process extremely easy and understandable. Dr. Stockdale is AMAZING, he is the most kind hearted human being and his love for what he does shows with his interactions with each and every person that walks through his doors including my self. They have state of the art equipment that makes x-rays and examinations so efficient and accurate that there is no question that your treatment plans and goals will be reached in the best way possible. Not to mention their office is pretty great, always clean and and organized. They have Tvs and gaming set up for siblings to play with while waiting, and even fresh baked cookies and drinks for when your done with your treatments. Coming from someone who has always had crippling anxiety when it comes to dental procedures. I can truly and whole heartedly say that I look forward to each and every appointment I have and I will be continuing my visits long after my treatment is done just to say hi to everyone in the office. Personally I don’t know why any negative remarks about Dr. Stockdales office should be stated or even considered. Sometimes people simply take their negative attitudes and bad days out on great people for no reason. If you are looking into the best orthodontist in the area please do your self a favor and give Dr. Stockdales office a call and I can promise you that you wont regret it !!!

Dr.Stockdale is the very best in the area!!! I had thought a lot about getting braces and saw four different orthodontists in Rancho Cucamonga for a consultation before I made my decision and I couldn’t be happier that I chose Rancho Cucamonga orthodontics! They are awesome! I got my braces on September first and I had terrible anxiety about getting braces but that is all gone thanks to Dr.Stockdale and his wonderful staff! They are super gentle and answer all of my questions thoroughly. I got ceramic braces on the top and metal on bottom so they would look more discreet and they look great. You can’t even tell I have braces on the top in pictures and it’s only been three months and I see such an improvement in my teeth! I recommend this orthodontist to everyone whether local or not it is worth the trip! I will be bringing my daughter here for her treatment as well! The staff is great, the office is immaculate, and the ambiance is so cool and there are movies playing and video games in the waiting area also there are fresh baked cookies and refreshments out for guests every time 🙂 When I have an appointment I enjoy a delicious cookie and a coffee and an ever improving smile! Choose Dr.Stockdale for your orthodontic treatment!!! Trust me you will be very impressed!

First of I have to mention that the staff here is amazing. They always make you feel welcomed! I was referred here by my sister, to get treatment for my 12 year old daughter. We had gone to two different Ortho offices to get quotes. Both of these places said that my daughter would need to have some teeth pulled out , before treatment, and head gear during treatment. She was so distraught and so was I. During our consultation with Dr. Stockdale, we learned that he would not pull any teeth out. Not only that, but no head gear would be necessary! He uses new technology, called forces, instead of head gear. These forces are inserted in the mouth towards the end of treatment. Needless to say, we started treatment there the same day. I have to mention that they also have affordable payment plans. My daughter is 1 year into her treatment and the results are already amazing!!!!

I came to Dr. Stockdale after I re-located from Phoenix. I’m an adult case who also required jaw surgery and I am extremely happy with my results. Dr. Stockdale was meticulous in getting my teeth in the proper position before surgery, making it extremely easy for Dr. Bell at Kaiser Anaheim to obtain A+ surgical results. Honestly, I feel I had the best orthodontist/surgical team for my case. Also, the entire staff takes the time to get to know all their patients. I felt like I was going in to visit friends every time I came in for an appointment. I can not recommend this office enough.

I am so glad that I found Dr. Robert Stockdale. This is a very organized and professional orthodontic office. We feel so welcomed and informed every doctor’s appointment. The office is also very cleaned and super nicely decorated. My son loves his orthodontist on his first day of treatment. The staffs are super nice and friendly. Dr. Robert is very knowledgeable and patient. We’re so happy we found this place. I love the coffee and treats they offered in the lobby. It’s always nice and pleasant to come to every office visit. I’m not disappointed at all!

I was recommended to a different location and was given 1,100.00 balance to pay before even starting braces on my son, I was very stressed and decided to seek other options I used yelp saw the five stars for Robert Stockdale at Rancho Cucamonga orthodontics and notice the location I was referred to had 4 they took me right away and turned out my son did not need such an aggressive treatment as I was told all the extra charges that came with that, the treat length was also decreased. Everything they use is new and advanced such a great experience the first day so I automatically signed a contract they will work with your budget and that was a big relief when your child’s smile is so important . Highly recommend them

We switched to Rancho Cucamonga Orthodontics from another local Orthodontist who shall remain nameless. My daughter is very happy here and to be honest, so am I. The staff is very friendly, warm and welcoming. In addition, Dr. Stockdale is a soft-spoken man with a nice bed side manner and he’s also very good with children. I intend to bring my youngest here when it will be time for him to get braces. Like my daughter, I know he will be in good hands. I highly recommend Rancho Cucamonga Orthodontics. You won’t be sorry.

Great place I’ve been coming here for more than a year now and would recommend this place to everyone. The staff is super nice and knowledgeable and the doctor is great he has done miracles to my teeth that I didn’t think were possible. They take different types of insurance and if you don’t have insurance they’ll give you a payment plan like I have. They have a awesome office that gives you a relaxing feeling they have free wifi and video games for the kids and the cookies!!! OMG the coookies that are freshly made by Dr Stockdale are delicious oh yeah and they also offer you a wide variety of refreshments in case you get thirsty they never make you wait more than 5 min. When you get there for your appointment I love this place.

This is our fourth child in braces and our first experience here at Rancho Cucamonga Orthodontics/Dr. Stockdale, and I couldn’t be more pleased. There is virtually no waiting. My son has been called in within minutes of our arriving every single time. It’s the one place I actually wouldn’t mind waiting as the office is decorated so beautifully, drinks and snacks readily available, and a very comfortable seating area… not to mention video games for the kids. My son is well taken care of by both the staff and Dr. Stockdale. I have already recommended him to a few people.

My daughter was referred here by our regular dentist for an ortho consultation. The office decor is very inviting and comfortable and the staff extremely welcoming. With virtually no wait, we were taken back into the exam room, x-rays taken and within minutes Dr. Stockdale came in to meet us. He explained everything he was looking at and doing and made sure we understood the issues and our options. No rush to hurry and leave the room and no pressure to begin treatments. It is refreshing to find a speciality practice that is reasonable in their pricing, honest in their practices and actually makes you feel comfortable every time from the moment you step in to their gorgeous office. You’re doing yourself a disservice if you don’t stop by for a consultation and a cookie. Yes, Dr. Stockdale himself bakes the cookies in the breakroom and shares those delicious warm cookies through the day!

I have been coming here for over a year now and I love it. When I started I was at their previous location. I now go to their new location and it’s beautiful and inviting. The staff is amazing and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I feel cared for and heard with any complaints. I went to a previous orthodontist before and I didn’t feel like I was a priority. I felt anxious about finding another location that I actually waited almost a year to finish my work! I felt welcomed the second I walked in the door and my hand has been held the whole way through. Anyone with any fears about having this type of work done should definitely come here. Your mind will be put to ease and you won’t regret starting your braces with Dr. Stockdale and his team.

When it came time for my daughter to get braces my wife and I went to several different orthodontist to find the best one. After visiting 3-4 different orthodontist it became apparent that Dr. Stockdale was the right person for the job. When we go in for our appointments my daughter usually gets checked out first by Holly, she is amazing and very gentle with my daughter. She has been in the orthodontist field for over 15 years and you can tell with her wealth of knowledge. We definitely recommend Dr. Stockdale for anybody looking for a orthodontist.

I took my son for braces and had such an amazing experience from Monique the treatment coordinator and Dr. Stockdale. I was greeted and offered a cold beverage. After they took my sons X-rays Dr. Stockdale came in for the consult and was extremely thorough with his clinical evaluation. He answered all my questions and made both my son and me very comfortable. It also made me feel good to know that he has over 30 years of experience. I would highly recommend this office to all my family and friends. The staff is great and very professional!

This office embodies everything that you could ever want out of an orthodontist. I wish all of my medical and health experiences were as effortless, enjoyable, and sincere as the treatment I receive every time I walk into Dr. Stockdale’s office. The office itself is gorgeous and immaculately designed. The snacks, drinks, and cookies at the front desk are an excellent touch and possibly a ploy to get me to keep coming back. There are 70 inch TVs in front of each chair playing awesome kids movies all the time, which I love. The entire staff is just one sweetheart after the next from Lacy to Stephanie to Holly to Vicky, they just keep you laughing and smiling from the second you walk in. This was important to me because as a young adult who is self-conscious and going through braces for a 2nd time, I needed that bit of moral support and humor. If you need a wire cut or a bracket breaks or you have any issues, they accommodate you ASAP and get you in there quick. Pricing for my braces was the best that I found in the area, and they have amazingly reasonable no-interest payment plans. Dr. Stockdale himself works with efficiency and straightforwardness and gives you solid direction throughout your treatment. This was extremely important in my case because I have to get complicated jaw surgery during my treatment and his oversight and advice on this matter was crucial. His orthodontic treatment approach is not super aggressive, he is more conservative and thoughtful in how he decides to shift your teeth around. They do absolutely everything to make me comfortable here and I would highly recommend Dr. Stockdale’s office and his beautiful staff to anyone looking to start orthodontic treatment. Love you guys!

This office is Amazing. Not only is there a positive vibe as soon as you walk in but the employees at the front desk are friendly and helpful. The office is decorated really neat, I loved the theme. Another thing I loved is you are seen right away and do not have to wait for long periods of time like you do at other offices. Dr. Stockdale is friendly and informative. He really seems to care about the patient and the treatment they need. I went in for a consult and Lacy is the one that assisted the Dr. She explains the treatment and answers any questions you may have thoroughly. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to the treatments. The girls in the back are great too. I have no complaints about anything and I am so excited to start my treatment for a straighter smile. I wish I had found this office sooner. I would definitely recommend this place!

Look no further. So I went to 4 other Orthodontists before finding this place. When your talking about your teeth you want the best service for your money. I was not looking for the cheapest, but I also didn’t want to get gouged. Rancho Cucamonga Orthodontics was a littler more than the average, but was not the most expensive either. The office is up to date and has a lot of swag. They have the latest technology and constantly surprised me with all the new tools and technology they used. The coolest was the 3D software imaging of your teeth. The precise technology allowed Dr Stockdale to provide the best possible service. Last but not least, the team is phenomenal. The girls rock and really put the icing on the cake.

I took my Daughter in for a consultation for braces with Dr. Stockdale last week we had a great experience the favorite part for my daughter was the refrigerator in the waiting room that contained chocolate milk for her. Staff and doctor are great office is up to date and very modern i loved that they have a digital xray machine and we where able to see my daughter xrays when doctor came in for a consultation.I would recommend rancho cucamonga orthodontics to anyone looking for a orthodontist in town and my daughter cant wait to come back and get started

We were looking for an orthodontist to treat our son’s under-bite issue and initially went to a different orthodontist office. We had such a bad experience there that we decided we needed to find another option. Looking back now, I’m glad we had that bad experience since that is what led us to find Dr. Stockdale. From the very beginning we were impressed with the office and staff. We were able to make a quick appointment and Dr. Stockdale did a thorough examination of our son. He took the time to explain the situation and options. He answered all our questions, and we decided on a very reasonable treatment. We started this treatment June 2016, and we have been coming here ever since. The appointments are easy to make, there is basically no waiting to be seen, the office is wonderful, comfortable and fully stocked with goodies! My son likes coming here. We will definitely be back for all our future orthodontist needs.

I’ve had my braces on for 5 years and was only supposed to have them for 9 months. I had trouble getting them off and finding an orthodontist that would help me finish my treatment. I was reffered to Dr. Robert Stockdale in Rancho and I’m so glad I was! Everyone is so friendly and has your best interest at hand! Not to mention Dr. Robert Stockdales thorough care and knowledge of your teeth, and I want to thank Lacy Hawley for such of cheap price and monthly payments. I’m giving this establishment 5 stars hands down. Thanks guys!

Needed braces and ended up getting them through this Office. From the first time I walked in the door I was very impressed with this orthodontist office. The staff is very friendly and professional, and the environment is very welcoming and decorated in the coolest way. The employees that take care of your braces are very gentle and considerate when it comes to ensuring you don’t feel any pain. After a few visits, I loved this office so much that I even asked if I could get a job there, LOL. They even helped me by referring me to someone that does their IT because I have IT experience. I would recommend this office to anybody and everybody that will ever need braces!

Finally contributing to Review Boards. I want to share those few excellent experiences I’ve had with local businesses. R.C. Orthodontics has been more like a family. Dr. Stockdale put braces on my very high maintenance 14 year old son about 15 months ago. Janell handled the exhausting multiple authorizations and billings to our insurance company, whose reimbursement was pretty low, but the office accepted. Holly and his other assistants (sorry I can’t remember names) have all been very patient with my son. He actually was overdue for treatment. We were worried that a tooth protruding over another in the front was not going to be completely correctable. Eight months after the doctor started treating him, you couldn’t even tell! Beautiful work. His wife, Linda, is lovely and I get the sense that they really do care and strive to give their patients the best possible experience. I have to also mention this is the hippest decor I’ve seen in any dental or doctor’s office.

I was recommended by Dr. Stockdale’s brother from his regularly dentistry office. Dr. Stockdale was very inviting when i first came and ever since he has remained the same and more. His wife is beautiful and is so kind hearted. Dr. Stockdale examined my teeth and he knew exactly what was needed to help make my teeth look perfect. I had one bottom tooth that would not move at all even with my old orthontist treatment, for months it would stay the same. But, when I came to this office, in only a few weeks my bottom tooth, moved and i was so surprise about how straight my bottom teeth have become. I would definitely recommend people to come to this office because it is extremely helpful and you will get the results you want and more.

I have been to several orthodontic offices and by far this is the best one I have ever been to. Very clean, presentable and every staff member makes you feel right at home. Dr. Stockdale is very professional and has the best interest for his patients, by far he has some of the best method(s) of helping you meet your goals (teeth wise). Their prices are amazing and they are more than willing to help you with the best financial plan that fits YOU! I plan on recommending everyone i personally know to them. Thank you Dr. Stockdale and staff for your professionalism.

Let me tell this is the BEST orthodontist I have ever been to. The staff is great! From Lacy at the front desk to Vicki who makes me smile whenever I’M THERE. There is another hygienist there but I can’t for the life of me think of her name right now. She has a teenage son. I want to give her props too! But let me tell you the service is great there and Dr. Stockdale does great work!! I am so happy with the progression of my smile. I highly recommend this office. The Dr. makes homemade cookies that they bake in the back, and they always have drinks stocked and provided for their clients. If you want an awesome orthodontist that you can be proud to tell someone about, it’s this place. It’s the cutest place too. Keep up the good work and I truly appreciate the entire staff. They are friendly, helpful and a genuine family of great people!

This place is amazing. The staff is not only super helpful with literally everything from answering personal questions about teeth to replacing my orchestrates with little trouble, but also very friendly in dealing with me ahahahahahah. With all that said about the staff, they are very professional and really do care about the individuals that come through the front doors… Obviously you should come here for the top quality work of Dr. Stockdale in orthodontics, but there are free delicious cookies and nice ice cold drinks. Yes, I gave them 5 stars, but really they deserve way more for the excellent work they do and for all the intangibles they provide for everyone. Also shoutout to Stephanie and Sam

This dental office has the most professional staff I’ve met. Awesome customer service. I found this office on yelp and all the reviews are spot on. Dr Stockdale obviously has high standards because it shows on his work and his staff. Some staff members to mention, Monique and Jannel, are two that go above and beyond to help you out. It’s a very friendly place and I would recommend you stop by and check it out yourself. 5 stars isn’t enough. yelp should add more stars for a place like this. You’ll be 110% satisfied or your money back.* (*not really but it’s that awesome)

This place has been amazing. The dr and the staff are so welcoming. Always a good time coming here. They offer cookies, water, juices, sodas, carbonated drinks. Was looking for an orthodontist that doesn’t feel like I’m coming to a dental office. I have a crowding situation as an adult they know what they’re doing. It’s not over priced. When I walk in it’s always nice w plenty of decor, I get to sit down watch tv and relax. They have good design theme. I tried visiting many offices in la area, there was absolutely nothing out there like this place, I would rather drive 1 hour, than just a regular boring office lol they always offer cookies before I leave still. Everyone is very nice.

Dr Stockdale has created an atmosphere that is not only professional but indeed welcoming and excellent. My daughter is always looking forward to having her routine check up done all the time. I will recommend Dr Stockdale to any adult or children that might be in need of an orthodontist in the inland empire area. Dr Stockdale and his staff which I believe includes his wife are amazing, and they always make us feel at home. I have been to other dental offices and in terms of dental work comparison, I will say without fear or favor, Dr Stockdale is one of the best.

Ranch Cucamonga Orthodontist has been a fantastic experience for us. We started by going to them to see if my son was ready for braces when he was 8. Dr.Stockdale was very honest, friendly, and knowledgeable from the beginning. Dr. S said my son was not ready and he didn’t like to a bunch of phases. I appreciated his honesty and knowledge. We waited almost a year before my son was ready. When evaluating my son for work, they were able to evaluate my daughters needed too although I hadn’t scheduled an appointment. Both my kids ended up needing expanders to allow their adult teeth to come in without crowding.The assistants are all so friendly, kind, and gentle when working on both my kids.They have given us excellent service and my kids love going to the orthodontist. Although my daughter had some painful moments when her gums grew over her rings around her molars, she still likes going. The assistants really go the extra mile in addition to Dr. Stockdale. The full experience of the staff, environment of the office, the homemade cookies Dr. S makes, the big screen TVs the kids can relax and watch while being worked on, the honesty, and the knowledge are all reasons I give this review 5 stars. Don’t just take my word…go try them for yourself!

I’m very happy I came across this Orthodontics. I was searching on Google and I saw all the good reviews they had on Yelp. That sold me to it and decided to make and appointment. First Impression is an A, office is super clean and not to say how great they greet you when you first come in. what I gave it an A+ was the most important, their professional work. I am very pleased with the care they give to my son, He was scared to get his braces but He felt so good to see how kind and nice they are. I will definitely highly recommend them to friends and family..

This orthodontics is pretty amazing. I have gone to different places for consultations but they said my case was too complicated. I came here and they knew what they were doing. Im glad I came here. I’m set up with their payment plans and it’s affordable unlike other places. I love how they always have Disney movies on. They are very friendly and make effort to talk you. Highly recommend! Only problem is they sometimes don’t have appointments on days I’m available but they work around it and are amazing at doing so.
A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
Dr. Bob Stockdale is a native Californian, and has practiced Orthodontics here in the Inland Empire for more than twenty-five years. After graduating from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry with a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree, he practiced general dentistry for six years before returning to Loma Linda Graduate School where he received a Master’s Degree in Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Orthopedics. Dr. Stockdale prefers to treat children without extracting permanent teeth, and the recent addition of 3D imaging technology allows him to evaluate children as young as four years for potential dental crowding, as well as possible airway and breathing issues. Maxillofacial Orthopedics is the area of his specialty involving the development and positioning of the jaws, and Dr. Stockdale can provide age-appropriate interventions to assist in healthy growth in these areas. While Dr. Stockdale has provided orthodontic care for thousands of children and teens, his experience in general dentistry has proven invaluable in his orthodontic treatment of adults, many of whom have extensive dental and periodontal challenges. He also works with many oral surgeons in the area, treating patients who need surgical positioning of the jaws as well as orthodontics. Dr. Stockdale live’s in Rancho Cucamonga and his interests are wide and varied; he has never met a hobby he didn’t like! In his free time, he enjoys gardening, his koi pond, and baking; cookies, pizza, and sourdough bread are favorites!
