I was born in Philadelphia, Pa. but lived in many different areas because my father was career military. One of four children, there was never a dull moment growing up and my siblings and I still enjoy getting together every year for a family reunion. After living on Army bases in Virginia and Germany, my family moved to Florida then settled in Southern Illinois and later moved to Chicago.
I attended the University of Illinois Champagne/Urbana from 1979-1983 where I earned a degree in Biology and concurrently competed as a member of the U of I Big 10 Fencing team. I then attended dental school at the University of Illinois in Chicago from 1983-1987
After dental school, I moved to California to work at Mt. Zion Hospital as a dental resident. I was fortunate to be selected for a second year at Mt. Zion as the chief resident where my duties included mentoring the first year residents. In 1989 I began a private practice in San Rafael and for a few years continued to teach at UCSF in their Advanced Education in General Dentistry program to help hone the skills of new graduates. While at UCSF my specialties were hospital dentistry, operating room dentistry and geriatric dentistry. I worked in private practices in San Rafael, Sunnyvale and San Carlos before settling in Fremont.
I began practicing in Fremont in 2004 and soon after, merged two existing practices to have a strong and stable dental practice. I believe in open communication and educating patients, enabling you the patient, to make the best decision for your treatment. Part of this communication involves having high tech software, digital cameras, digital x-rays and other educational aids to allow for better understanding of treatment.
A unique aspect of my practice is that I have a significant number of patients from the Deaf Community. To varying degrees some of my staff and I have taken classes at the Ohlone College Deaf Studies program. My staff and I have had exposure into Deaf Culture, and can communicate in American Sign Language (ASL) on a basic level. We are hoping that with time and more practice we will continue to improve.
I enjoy biking, hiking and camping with my family. I enjoy spending time with friends and relatives. Being a father is my greatest joys. I am a dog lover, and Lily, a Maltese poodle, is my favorite. I am environmentally conscious; I prefer carrying my groceries with my teeth rather than in a plastic bag. So, we use only compostable bags in our dental office.
Some of my philosophies were generated from my experiences as a dental patient. I know what it feels like to have a filling that is too high and needs adjustment. I have also had experiences that I perceived as negative due to poor communication and/or outcome. Taking from my personal experience, I always try to do what I would like done for me or my family.
Caries detecting stain was first developed to show kids the plaque on their teeth. It is mostly food coloring and it highlights the bacteria in plaque to make it easier to see. It is now available to be used on the tooth to see if any decay is still present after we prepare for a filling. By repeatedly using it, removing the decay that was stained and using again until the remaining tooth does not stain, we can be sure that there is no more decay. This allows us to be conservative and not take too much healthy tooth structure and to be thorough. This is not the fast way to fix teeth but I feel in my heart it is the only way.

Maria is the best dental hygienist I have had in my life. She is extremely talented, personable and great at holding conversations and always up for some friendly banter. Dr. Weisman is extremely good at explaining precisely what he observes during his exams and what is root cause of issues and suggests treatment plans accordingly. The entire establishment is extremely welcoming and I have never felt pressured to go through with any treatments. Daniella always explains all the costs associated with any treatments in advance so there are never any surprises or hidden costs. I actually look forward to all my visits. I highly recommend trying out this place. I am certain you won't regret it. 5 stars all around. Only downside if I had to nitpick is that the office space is a bit small compared to what I was used to in past but that is really a subjective opinion.

I would give Dr. Weisman and his team 20 stars if they were available! They listen to concerns, they are conservative in their approach to dental care and go above and beyond in making the patient feel valued. My children even look forward to their visits!

Dr. Weisman and his staff are professional and amazing! I hope I never have to find another dentist because nobody will come close to Dr. Weisman and his staff's expertise. Thank you Dr. Weisman -- you're the best!

It is always a pleasant experience visiting Jonathan Weisman office for dental care. His office has absolutely the best staff possible. Friendly and professional. The treatment always starts with a warm welcome and includes an informative consultation about the health of your teeth/mouth. It has always been a pleasure. So happy to see the office is back in business.

Dr. Weisman and several staffers are able to communicate with me during my dental operation in ASL. They are very professional and helpful. I would recommed to other deaf and hard hearing friends to switch to his dental office.

I've known Dr Weisman over 10 years. Friendly office staff. The office even worked with me and my students at a Deaf school for job placement at his office to gain work experiences. How cool is that? Also most know American Sign Language too. Highly recommend

We have had a lot done over the years, always perfect, not one complaint! From youngest (3yr old) to oldest, I trust him with all our family's dental needs.

As always, Dr. Weisman and his staff treated me exceptionally well. They are sympathetic to nervous patients. Dr. Weisman worked hard to save a tooth for me.
