Gary was my besy friend from college. We met in Chem 101.  I was sitting in the last row, first seat by the isle. He sat in the seat next to me 
A permeant friendship was formed. Gary back then and still very flamboyant. He lived in the basement of one of one of the frat houses snd he painted the walls black. He went to dental school and I went to medical school. The summer after our first we rented athe cheapest Renault and went all over Europe 
Germany was diveded back then.  He had a cousin who was a captain in the army being stationed in Berlin. We drove thru East Germany. It was scary. We were stopped 6 times in our 70 mile drive . We stayed at his cousins place. Those of you who remember we went thru Check point Charlie into East Berlin  
We lasted 4 minutes. It was still like it was at the wnd of WWII compared to west berlinn which by 1976 was a vibrant city.  We left at night ( poor choice) took the wrong road ( no GPS) went to poland and were arrested as spies. We were kept in jail for 12 hours and the let us go. I never appreciated the USA more. With all these memories this solidified our life long for each other. Goodbye dearest friend Dr. Gary Brigham

Gary and I served in the Air Force in Japan together.  Always a gentlman and friend.

I've been meaning to write this for so long, but couldn't ever find the right words. That's because there aren't any. Dr. Brigham was seeing all 3 of my kids, some since 2nd grade! My boy especially had a congenital issue & Dr. B was fascinated by it, but never in a rude way. He was always the nicest, most friendly person. A joy to be around and talk to, for sure. We will miss him very much. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

One of the gentle giants of the dental community. Taught and shared all the best the world of orthodontics had to offer

Dr Steve Poulos

I am very sorry to hear this news of Dr. Brigham's passing.  He did my braces as a child and I grew up to work for him while I was in college.  He was the most kind, generous and caring person.  He will be greatly missed.

We met Gary a few times.  However,  he had been a constant fixture in our son Dan’s life for 15+ years. He was always so giving and  very caring to Dan. They enjoyed nice meals, suits and the joy of conversation . The Gary is truly missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with  Jamie and Dan his son- in-law. They both loved Gary very much.

Thank you Gary for your graciousness and RIP.

Mike and Kathy Clester

We are so very sorry for your loss.  Dr Brigham was a kind and compassionate man and the best orthodontist.  He will be sorely missed.  Our sincere sympathies and condolences to his family, friends and staff.  May his soul rest in peace.

Mr. Brigham was a happy and friendly person. He helped me start my Invisalign treatment and impressed me as a very knowledgeable professional who also enjoyed what he did for a living.  I'm grateful for him and the kind staff he worked along side of. I'm sure he made a positive difference in many peoples lives, personally and professionally. I send my condolences and prayers to his family and friends.

My earliest recallable experiences with dentistry were with Dr. Brigham. I walked through his office as a first grader with a severe underbite over 20 years ago. Little did I know at that time that he would have such a profound impact on me during my years of treatment that I would want to become an orthodontist just like him. I am currently in my 2nd year of dental school and will continue to work toward my goal in his honor and memory. I hope to change the lives of my future patients in the same way that he changed my life. Thank you, Dr. Brigham. 

Love,
Meredith Reinhardt

Thank you for giving me and my 5 siblings smiles we are proud of. Our smiles will radiate Dr. Brigham's light for the rest of our lives.

Love,
The Reinhardt Kids
(Nick, Meredith, Lindsey, Thomas, Matthew, and Whitney).

I started Invisalign with Dr. Brigham in 2013.  He always had a smile on his face and a very pleasant disposition.   I was happy when our son, Thomas, was able to see Dr. Brigham and work with him on his teeth straightening.  Dr. Brigham always asks about family when either I or our son had appointments.  It was shocking to hear about his passing and we remember him fondly and keep his daughter and any family in our thoughts and prayers.  Jeanne Marsh

My deepest sympathies and condolences to Dr Brigham’s loved one and friends.  I met Dr Brigham in 1992, and began my Orthodontic treatment plan.   Over the years, we developed a special bond and became friends. I will always be thankful to Dr Brigham for giving me a beautiful smile.  
To a purposeful and well-lived life.  Gone too soon, you will be remembered in our hearts forever.  

Sincerely, 
Ondra Witherspoon

Hi My name is Henry montes I know Dr Brigham before at least 8 years he did some work on my granddaughter's teeth Jocelyn Vincent he was very patient and gentle with her I was really satisfied with his bedside manner and him as a professional I will greatly miss him

Our hearts and prayers go out to the family and friends. Dr. Brigham was always so kind and caring with both of my children. He was practical and didn't charge an arm and a leg or put pressure on us to do certain things. He always explained everything. Always patient and never talked down to parents or the children. So thankful he was their orthodontist. He and his staff did a great job. I know he will be greatly missed. Thank you for their beautiful smiles. RIP. 
The Casillas Family-Steve, Lisa, Gabe(Sierra), Mackenzie.

I'm sorry to hear about Dr. Brigham’s passing.  We have been part of the Brigham family for almost 12 years.   I will always remember his amazing bedside manners and wanting to hear all about my daughters’ activities, academics, and vacations.  He kept me in the loop of their orthodontic care and always had an answer to any of my questions.  We will truly miss his presence, but the three of us have beautiful smiles that will last forever because of Dr. Brigham.   Our hearts go out to the entire Brigham Family and Staff.  He will truly be missed.

Dr. Brigham was the type of person that no matter if he was having the worst or best day he always made sure that you were happy and put a smile on peoples faces. He was funny, caring and welcoming. He always lit up every room he was in. Knowing that I was in a safe and fun environment when having my orthodontist appointments made me look forward to the next appointment. Dr. Brigham has created a lifetime of happy perfect smiles and will never be forgotten.

Dr. Brigham was always very welcoming with a warm smile on his face when he entered the room. I’ve been Dr. Brigham’s patient since second grade and one thing I will always remember is that he wanted to give me the perfect smile. And even though he has passed away I will be reminded every time I smile of how caring and dedicated he was to make his patients happy. I always felt so comfortable being at the orthodontist knowing that I was being looked after. Dr. Brigham was very hard working, a kind person, and an amazing teacher. To everyone who was Dr. Brighams client we will be reminded by his amazing work every time we have a smile on our face. 

~Sierra Moffitt

I knew  Dr Brigham for over 35 years, I used to work with  him and he completed ortho on both of my boys. He was always so very professional and generous.  Always willing to take the time to pass on  his wisdom . He was the best in so many ways, such a great sense of humor.  My prayers go out to his daughter. He will truly be missed,  Jackie  Calvin

Dr. Brigham's passion for his work and team was truly admirable. It was equally admirable how he formed such an incredible community of patients and staff.  

I was a patient of Dr. Brigham's when I was a young girl and remember when I was little he promised me a job if I wanted one. I went on to work in his lab during high school as an "after-school" gig. I always looked forward to the Saturdays when we were open because I loved going to work so much. His team became a second family for me and played a big role during my formative years. 

I always admired how hard-working and honest Dr. B was. He always wanted to do right by his patients and sometimes we had to push him not to do so many extra things for free! ;) He was a good man who was kind, funny (I'll never forget dancing in the lab with him and his daughter Jamie), smart, and determined. I feel very fortunate and grateful to have been a part of his team. I will forever cherish my time there and all of the lasting memories I made. 

Thank you, Dr. B for enriching my life and the lives of so many others. We will love and miss you dearly.

I had the incredible opportunity to speak at various Invisalign events as well as attend numerous study clubs with Dr Brigham. He was an exceptional orthodontist and treated so many patients over his career with excellent outcomes. His presentations were always filled with humor and great stories and truly allowed his audiences to engage and learn from this master orthodontist. I will miss his humor, wit, kindness, smile and overall light and energy that he brought to any room he was in.

Dr. Brigham is so skillful in his craft and has done so much good for me and my family.  We are blessed to have known him for decades now.   Our love and condolences to the Family and loved ones who worked alongside Dr. Brigham.  What a blessed life that Dr. Brigham led and what a blessing he is to all of us!

Dr. Gary Brigham was an absolutely wonderful human! He truly cared about his patients and was fun to be around. Whenever I looked at my calendar and saw I had an appointment with Dr. Brigham, I always smiled. 

Dr. Brigham will always be remembered!
Joe S

Gary was a favorite!  As a colleague, he always made time together both a learning time and an "uplift".  His serving spirit will be greatly missed.  His contributions to the orthodontic profession have been immeasurable!  Thank you, Gary for the legacy of growth and servanthood you have left each of us!

Jay

I am deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Dr. Brigham. I have been his patient since 2016, and he was the most conscientious and thoughtful person. Dr. Brigham was also extremely intelligent and innovative. He remedied issues via methodologies that others said would require surgery. 

His bedside manner was AMAZING. He always showed barest in me as a person and remembered little details with such a genuine interest in our lives. 

He truly cared about his patients, and his memory will be cherished. 

My condolences to his entire team ~ I cannot imagine how he will be missed. 

I want to express my sincerest condolences, healing thoughts, and prayers to the family and colleagues of Dr. Brigham. 

May he rest in peace.

It is with great sorrow that we mourn the loss of Dr. Gary Brigham -- an immensely talented orthodontist and a person with a very big heart. Three of us were his patients, and two of us did more than one "round" of care with him, so we saw him frequently for years. He was always so knowledgeable and careful and positive--and we feel fortunate to have been under his care and supervision. 

He left us all too early. We send our sincerest condolences to his family and close friends, and we hope your good memories will help sustain you during this time of grief and sorrow.  

~Doris Warriner, Quanah Brayboy & Ely Brayboy

Dr. Brigham will be sorely missed. As a dental professional, he was extremely personable, kind, caring & the best dentist I've ever had the privilege of tending to my dental needs.  One in a million for sure! May he rest in peace and all those close to him know that we were so appreciative of his professionalism, kindness & demeanor.

Brijesh and I are saddened to hear the passing  of Dr Brigham. Brij and I have been patients since 2015 and he made going to the Dentist something we looked forward to. We were always greeted with warmth and knew he took an interest in our lives. He truly cared about his patients and will be remembered fondly. You can tell his entire team carries that same mindset with patients. With a heavy heart we are sending healing, love and prayers to his family and colleagues. Thank you for being a truly caring and kind individual. 
Jennifer and Brijesh Gupta

Oh my heart is so saddened by this news! Aleah and I have been patients of Dr. Brigham for many years now... and loved going to our appointments and seeing him. He was an amazing doctor, and even a more amazing human being. He cared and loved. We will miss seeing him and sharing our adventures, life stories and updates with him - he always truly cared and was one to get to know his patients. Dr. Brigham... you will be truly missed. With a heavy heart we send love and healing to his family and loved ones during this time.

I am so very sad and sorry for the family and many friends and patients of Dr. Brigham, I became his patient in my 40's and I'm in my 60's now. I just saw him and he talked about future plans to travel to India and many other things.  He was a most kind gentleman and excellent doctor. I'm going to miss seeing him terribly. Rest in peace gentle soul.
Joy Smith

I am so very shocked and sad to hear of the passing of Dr Brigham.  Every time I saw him he complimented something.  My shirt, my shoes  or even my purse.  I always thought that was so funny.  When I would see him around a Holiday he would always ask what my plans were.  The last time I saw him was Nov 21, 2023.  He was as friendly and happy as ever.  He said he would see me in 6 months. I am just on a maintenance program now but he was still the perfectionist that all of his patients were use to. RIP Dr Brigham.  You will be missed by many.    

Nancy

Our condolences to Dr. Brigham’s family and team.  He always showed care to his patients and brought a wonderful positive energy with him.  Our family will miss his smile and stories!

I am so sad to hear of Dr. Brigham's passing.  He was one of the kindest and most caring doctors that I have ever met.  He had a way of making you feel important and special. Dr. Brigham  helped  with my pain and made my life better.

Gary you are already missed so much.......I remember meeting you for the first time and as I walked out of your office you said, "I'll take care of you". And that's what you did for 25+ years. I will always remember our talks. They were so special and I will never forget them. You were so much to our family, taking care of my daughter, just being you. You are loved so much and just know we will always smile BIG when we think of you. God Bless. Forever our love to you and your family. 
Justin Jansick

I am so saddened to hear about the passing of Dr. Brigham. I met Dr. Brigham in Nov 2021 as a referral from my dentist. For my entire life, I have been subconscious of my teeth and at 36, finally decided to do something about it.

Dr. Brigham made it so easy to make Invisalign part of my lifestyle. I often remarked to friends that my visits with him were so empowering because he always thanked me for being a compliant patient. He truly always made me feel like a million bucks. 

The team he put together at Brigham Orthodontics is a testament to what a talented orthodontist he is. I will always remember him, his kindness and his dedication to his profession.

What a guy. Somehow made me enjoy three years of invisalign procedures. His positivity, kindness and humor always showed through every visit. He lived that and I hope we all take some of that with us.

I started seeing Dr. Brigham in February of 2023, and I was truly in awe of how passionate he was about his job…and his patients.  I always felt so comfortable in his chair. Even if I had a long day at work and just wanted to be at home, he always knew how to make me laugh and cheer me up whenever I was in his chair. He will be truly missed. He has left a permanent mark on me forever, and whenever I am getting my braces tightened at my next check-ups; I will always give thanks to him. Rest in Peace Dr. Brigham🤍

Gary was a true gentleman and an exquisite orthodontist. I’m honored to have known him as a friend and colleague. 
Dan Blue

Dr. Brigham is one of the kindest, most caring, loveliest individuals I have ever known. I have been Dr. Brigham's patient since I was 8 years old. I am now 24 years old. Dr. Brigham just had a way with people. I had braces when I was young into high school and wasn't compliant with my retainer for a few years. I went back to him at the end of 2022 because I was getting married in November 2023 and wanted to fix the mess I made with not wearing my retainer. He was so happy to hear I was getting married and gave me the most excellent care and fixed my teeth again for free out of the kindness of his own heart. I saw him every 3 weeks during September-November 2023. The last time I saw him he came into the office(the whole office was closed that day) 2 days before my wedding to give me my new retainer and give me well wishes. My family and I will miss him and his kind smile. I was able to send him pictures from my wedding in the beginning of December. I am so happy that he was able to see some of the fruits of his labor in the form of my pictures. I will forever be grateful for his kindness and fatherly love.

Hello,

As a former patient, it was very difficult to hear of Dr. Brigham's recent passing, for he was a most wonderful man; kind, gentle, funny, and a calming presence for me. He was also very supportive of my artwork, going as far as turning one of my paintings into his office Christmas card one year! On top of that, he even invited me and my family to attend the premiere of "Greasewood Flat," his family's movie! I am most grateful for all of this, and forever grateful to have received orthodontic care by Dr. Brigham and his excellent team.

So, on behalf of my parents, Belle and Sal Sr., we wish Dr. Brigham's family our deepest condolences during this most difficult time. He may not be physically with us any longer, but his profound spirit is certainly not forgotten.

Blessings,

Sal Cosenza Jr.

I will miss you Dr. Brigham. I enjoyed just how much you had a passion for your work, your patients, and I enjoyed the most talking about our children and the memories we had we each of them. I also know you helped people who were in great need and that just shows your character and service for others. Most of all you loved your wife and daughter. I was blessed to meet you and I hope you know how much people love and appreciate you. It won't be the same as I return to my appointment in a couple weeks. But thank you so much for everything. You are so loved. - Gilliene

I enjoyed every visit with Dr Brigham. He was always cheerful and fun and provided wonderful
care. He will be missed

I was so sorry to hear about Dr. Brigham. Dr. Brigham was such a nice man and always made you feel comfortable when you were at an appointment. He made it seem as though you were his only patient there even though there were other patients in the office. Dr. Brigham always asked how you were doing, how your family was, what your plans were for holidays, he just seemed always interested in what you were doing. After 3 tries with different dentists, he finally got my teeth straight and I really appreciated that. He will be missed by his family, office staff, friends, and patients.
Thank you Dr. Brigham.

So sorry to hear of this.  He's been a good friend and client for over 25 years.   He was also a great orthodontist to several of my kids over the years.   He will be missed for sure!

So sorry to hear. A splendid man, knowledgeable, gracious and kind. Blessed to have had two generations of care with him- he will be missed beyond words. Blessing to Jamie, he was so excited you were coming out longer for Christmas . Peace and comfort to you and his family.

Dr. Brigham was one of a kind! He saw me for adult braces and then my daughter Elle, during high school. We LOVED him dearly. What a kind and generous man who always put people before him. He will be dearly missed. Kim Hardy and Elle Overman

As a parent of two boys who wore braces for many years, I have lots of memories of Dr Brigham's grace, humor, and kindness. He always made us feel comfortable and cared for in the best professional sense, as well as, making us feel "seen." Now that I have been in his care for Invisalign, I will miss his presence but I know that his spirit is everywhere in the office with the professionals he has trained and guided to provide the same care for all of us - past, present and future. Sending my condolences to all who worked with him and knew him. He made the world a better and more beautiful place to live - one smile at a time.

My heart hurts to learn of his passing. He was such a beautiful person I was about 11 when I first got my braces and he was my ortho. Saw him monthly for about 5 years. After that I looked for him as an adult since I needed my retainers again. Each and every time I seen him he gave me that smile and some type of joke which made it that much special. He remembered my dad when I returned the second round and never made me feel like I was just another person walking in and out. My condolences to his family, friends, coworkers and all his patients. He was an amazing man.

Words cannot express how shocked and saddened we are to hear the news. Dr. Brigham was a wonderful and kind soul, I wish we had the chance to say goodbye. Praying for his family and that he rests in peace.

Dr. Brigham is a warm, superbly skilled, and positive attitude orthodontist – he was a source of comfort and encouragement. His legacy lives on in the transformed smiles and grateful hearts of those he cared for. Rest in peace.

Dr. Brigham, 

Thank you for sharing your passion for service, orthodontics, and long conversations about life with me. I hope to continue to carry these qualities and share them with the next generation just like you did with me. 

All my love,

Thy

This is incredibly sad news. I started my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Brigham in summer 2023 and had to transfer treatment when I moved out of state. My current orthodontist described him as a legend, one who helped shape the industry to what it is today. On top of that, he was a great human. You’ll be missed Dr. Brigham. RIP.

Dr. Brigham was truly one of kind. He treated our entire family for almost 15 years. He always had a smile on his face, a "dad joke" to share, and genuine interest in and respect for his patients and his colleagues. He shared his love for and pride in his daughter, and our thoughts are with her and his extended Brigham Orthodontics family at this time. He will be missed.

No way no way I'm so sad 😭 man. He was such good person and a doctor I can't believe it. I'll never forget him. Much love and peace to his family.

We were so saddened and shocked to learn of Dr. Brigham's passing. My three children had the honor of being his patient for close to 10 years.  Even as they each graduated out of his care, he would remember each one and ask how they were doing.  He was an exceptional orthodontists, which shows every day in their smiles.
My condolences to his family and the staff at Brigham Orthodontics.

The Yacovella Family (Dominc, Haiden and Jonah)

I am shocked and saddened with news of Dr. B’s passing. I transferred my ortho Invisalign to his care, as i moved from san diego. He was always so positive, upbeat, respectful, and an empathetic provider of care. He truly was an honorable man, which is far too atypical in today’s time.  I count myself fortunate to have met, and been cared for, by Dr. Brigham. I know he will be missed by so many.

I am so sad to hear this.  Dr Brigham worked for my husband Dr. Mort Copenhaver many years ago when he first came to Phoenix.  He was also my daughter, Katie's, ortho dr.  Mort always liked him and would light up when they ran into each other.  It was fun to watch them catch up.  Mort passed away in August and I just know they are sharing stories.  Rest In Peace Dr. Brigham, you are a gift to heaven and will be missed here on Earth.  My sincere condolences to your family.   Jan Copenhaver

Deepest sympathies to his families and friends.  I am saddened by the news.  I have known Dr. Brigham for over 25 years, referring my patients to him . And occasionally called him if I had any professional questions. He always came to the phone and trated me with such a kindness.
He will be deeply missed.

We are completely heartbroken to hear of Dr. Brigham‘s passing. This news came to us with much shock as he clearly fought his illness privately. He was a man of grace, superb kindness, and generosity. We are all the better for having the opportunity to know him and connect with him. Our thoughts are with his colleagues and family during this most difficult time. 

The Mears Family

During this challenging time, I extend my deepest condolences on the passing of our cherished orthodontist, Dr. Gary Brigham. My sympathy goes out to his family and all who knew him.

Dr. Brigham was more than a healthcare professional; he radiated kindness, wit, and genuine care. I cherished the ease of our interactions and valued the warmth he brought to his practice. His absence leaves an immeasurable void, touching the hearts of everyone fortunate enough to know him. Dr. Brigham's impact on the community and the lives he touched will be remembered and missed by many.

May the memories of his kindness and positive influence bring comfort during this difficult time.

With heartfelt condolences,

Sandra Burns, patient

My deepest Condolences for Dr. Brigham's family and each member in his office.  Dr. Brigham gave me a hope to have my teeth aligned to have my bite straighten. First when I walked in the office I was so fearful, but he was so kind and assured me everything will be alright with the Invisalign . He was so gracious to explain the shole process in a  kindly manner. Every time we had conversation , he was so kind and thoughtful  in his communications. I will miss him greatly, I wished he would see the results of the treatment he started with me over 18 months ago. RIP Dr. Brigham ,my thoughts and prayers with your family and everyone knew you.

Sally

Dr Brigham was the best and always had a smile.  He was a magical orthodontist and perfectionist and both my daughter’s and my smile show the brilliance of his work. Condolences to his family.  He will be missed.  🥲

I am so sorry to hear about this! Dr. Brigham was such an amazing human and orthodontist. I got braces put on by him when I was in the first grade and was never scared of the orthodontist or dentist again and actually enjoyed going.  I remember him having a great sense of humor, a kind heart, and as a proud father. I’m sure he will be missed by so many.

I was so very shocked and sad to hear the news of Dr. Brigham’s passing! Three out of four of my boys saw Dr. Brigham throughout the years as they grew up. He was so  knowledgeable and dedicated  toward my families needs.  Everyone looked forward to visiting him! We’ll never forget his patience and long-lasting craft in orthodontia. We’re so sorry for your loss and the loss to our community. He was  such a great man!

My deepest sympathies for Dr. Brigham's family. He was one of a kind!! Always so filled with brightness and so generous in his care for me and my family. I am heartbroken to know of his passing. May each of those he left behind find comfort in knowing he was much beloved by his patients.

This news is so heartbreaking to our family! We have had the honor of being his patient for almost 7 years. Dr. Brigham was such a sweet man. I enjoyed talking to him every visit. May his family and friends find peace and comfort with all the heartfelt messages knowing he was loved and adored. He will surely be missed.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Dr Brigham. He was such a nice and gentle man.  He is going to be missed by everyone that had contact with him.I love that he was a perfectionist. I'd often joke with him,  about being a RockStar. It was like going and seeing a VIP.  I know Dr Brigham went straight to haven. 💔 he helped so many.  God Bless You Sir 🙏

So sorry to hear about Dr. Brigham.  What a shining light, making everyone feel special!

Dr. Brigham was always so sweet to my girls during their office  visits…always had a personal story and/or wise words of advice to put them at ease. 

I cried when I read he had passed away. What a nice man. Hugs to his family members.

A wonderful orthodontist and human being.

Godspeed to his family!

Diane Trovato

Dear Brigham Family,

I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Dr Brigham. He was not just a highly skilled orthodontist, but also a kind and compassionate individual who made a significant impact on my life. 

I will always remember Dr Brigham for his humor and the positive atmosphere he brought to his practice. His dedication to his profession and genuine concern for his patients set him apart, and I am truly grateful to have had him as my orthodontist for many years.

May you find strength in the memories of the lives he touched and the positive influence he had on so many. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

With deepest sympathy,
Adam Fields

This is such a shock! I am a patient of Dr. Brigham and truly enjoyed our visits.  He was such a delightful human.  It was very evident that his staff adored him.  My heart goes out to his family and friends.  Rest in Peace Dr. Brigham.
Brigid Hornacek

It’s difficult to put any words together as so many heavy emotions fill my head.  

Throughout my life I’ve always had a fear of visiting any dental office, from the smell, and seeing the patient chair I’d get stressed out, but once I met Dr. Brigham that fear went away in seconds. Being a patient of Dr. Brigham felt like hanging out with a friend who happened to be an orthodontist. The best orthodontist.   

We would often talk about music, guitars, and constantly joke with each other, sometimes so much I’d have to remind myself I was in a dental office. If you were a patient, you knew he would be completely invested in you and went out of his way to give you the best treatment. 

  His positive and calming energy trickled throughout his staff which made his office an enjoyable, laid-back and fun environment.  

To his family, friends and amazing staff I wish you all strength and comfort during this difficult time. My heart goes out to all of you.

  A memory I’ll share and always cherish is when he came up to me and said “Michael, whenever I see you, I always get happy” I felt exactly the same about you Dr. Brigham. 

  I’m going to miss you. Farewell.    

Your patient and friend, 
Michael Westcott

This one hurts really bad. I worked for a company Gary partnered with for a long time and the word legend is not overstated here. He is a LEGEND. He not only inspired doctors but every one that was in his presence.  He made us all better. He always guided me and helped in any way. I lived in Scottsdale for a bit and I will never forget our last meal at Dominic’s. It was a rough time the last few years but his selfless nature and positivity overshined his unfortunate illness. I hope everyone feels blessed they had the chance to be in Gary’s presence whether it was as a patient, friend or even a stranger. He taught me how to give, listen and care on a different level. Miss you my friend and I know you are straightening teeth and sharing your wisdom of life upstairs. Smile big and I will too because of you

Dr Brigham was truly exceptional. My son and I are both Invisalign patients of his. I always felt we were so lucky to be in his care. He was so incredibly talented, so kind and so encouraging. We will miss him and his stories greatly. He was a true master of his craft, the best of the best.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and the Brigham Orthodontics team during this difficult time.

We are so sad to hear about Dr Brigham’s passing. He was such a wonderful man. It was a joy to work with him on my son’s orthodontics, and we’ll surely miss him.

Jamie & Kenzo

Dr. Brigham was the most caring and tender orthodontist I have ever had. He was always so caring and thoughtful and carried many conversations I had with him with such a warm heart. He truly led me to love my big (beautiful) smile. He will be tremendously missed.

Dr Brigham has a special place in my heart. I was going through a tough time when I first saw him to do an Invisalign treatment. He was so incredibly loving and caring during the entire time. He made it feel like he was my grandfather helping me correct my teeth.  He cared so deeply and I felt that.  It's incredible to me to know that even though he was going through his own struggles, he was always making sure to take care of his patients  110%. He will be dearly missed!!

Dear Brigham Family,
We were so sorry to hear about the passing of Dr.Brigham. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
The Harris Family

We are truly devastated to hear about Dr. Brigham's demise. He was an exceptionally knowledgeable and kind provider, and our kids were lucky enough to have benefitted from his care. It is extremely hard to imagine the office without him - he connected so easily with our kids and always surprised us by remembering their interests at every visit - he truly was exceptional and we will miss him greatly.

Our deepest and heartfelt condolences go out to his family and to the entire wonderful staff of Brigham Orthodontics during this painful time.

With love and prayers, 
The Raghavan family (Abhinav and Anoushka Raghavan)

I’m so sorry to hear of Dr Bs passing. The last time I was in his office he was gleefully telling me about his daughter and son in law. How proud he was of both of them, how well they were doing, and what a bright future he saw for both of them. I hope he told them too. 

My sincerest condolences to his family and his lovely team.

Thank you Dr. Brigham for all of the knowledge you shared with me. You taught me so much and so enjoyed the time we spent together. You always made me smile, laugh and made me feel welcomed. Rest in Peace sweet soul. Laura Mandas

I can’t fathom Gary is gone. He was a complicated multifaceted guy who was hard to get to know but when you did it was such a pleasure. Over a bottle of red wine you learned about him writing a screenplay and saw a great sense of humor. He was so proud of his daughter Jamie. He was generous to a fault with his time and resources, mentoring many students. He was so many things, an entrepreneur, an educator, and a truly good person. You will bee sorely missed but never forgotten Gary.

Gary was  a colleague, a mentor, and a friend. He was excellent in all three roles. I knew Gary since our time in Cleveland, at Case Western Reserve University, over 50 years ago. You would have to look very long and hard to find another who conducted himself with such integrity.  We did not spend a lot of time together over the last years, but he was always there to answer a question or to help out.  Rest easy my friend, you will be missed!

I was a student of Dr. Brigham. He was a truly special person. He had a brilliant mind with a kind heart, and his passion for teaching inspired countless residents. His lectures were legendary, and his humility was remarkable for someone at the top of his field.  Though gone too soon, his legacy lives on in the minds and hearts of all who knew him. I will forever cherish the teachings and memories with Dr. Brigham. We will miss his humor, kindness, warmth, and dedication to his work.

I just called to make an appointment and heard the news. I’m so so sorry for this loss. He was such a kind man. I’ve been a patient of his since 2012 for Invisalign. I will miss him. He always asked me in detail about my life and how firefighting was going (like he had a notebook or something with important facts about his patients, but I think he just really cared, so he remembered) . He always seemed so proud to tell people what I did for a living. Since my dad left when I was young We always joked that he was the longest relationship with a man that I had. lol. 😆 I know he was “just” my orthodontist but he always made it feel like I was visiting a friend. My mom died recently as well and I was gonna tell him at my appointment. I’m so sorry for his family, friends, and coworkers. This is a very sad loss. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences are with you all. ❤️

One of the kindest man I ever met. My daughter, Rani, adored him. He treated her like a princess. We always talked about our daughters when I  visited him and I always joked with him, our daughters don't listen to us but we agreed we are lucky to have kind and happy children.
