Dr Schuster was careful, encouraged me to use an electric toothbrush. I intend to do that.

I have been coming to Dr. Schuster's office since I was 14 and honestly I pray that I can stay with them when I have to get off my parents insurance! The dental assistants, staff, and of course both Dr. Schuster and Dr. Ochoco are absolutely lovely. I am NOT a fan of the dentist's office but coming here is relaxing, low-key, and I trust that everyone is going to be friendly and sweet to me -- and most importantly that my teeth are going to be cared for! Both of these dentists are wonderfully skilled and professional -- Dr. Ochoco even saved my from not 1 but 2 root canals! Highly recommend for anyone on the Westside. P.S: If you have a chance, be sure to ask Dr. Schuster to tell you about his hippie days at Berkely.... Very cool guy

This is an amazing office and I was able to take my time describing all of my concerns and thoughts, and Dr. Schuster and Ochoco made sure to listen to every point and give me their advice and help with every point. Great pricing, care, skill, and customer service. 10/10

My front tooth lost a chunk and Dr. Ochoco with some consultation by Dr. Schuster fixed it -- and it looks WAY better than it did before! Dr. Schuster has been my dentist over the years but yesterday was the first time I met and saw the gentle artistry and handiwork of Dr. Ochoco. THANK YOU!

I have been going to Dr. Schuster for many years and I've always been very happy with the quality of care. Recently, I saw Dr. Ochoco who worked on my cracked tooth and crown. He was so patient and gentle and calmed my nerves. Dr. Ochoco answered all my questions and worked hard to make sure the crown fit perfectly. Then he followed up after the appointment to make sure everything was okay. I have had other restorations and have to say this by far was one of the better experiences. Also, I felt comfortable with all the safety procedures they've put into place during the pandemic. From the front staff to the assistants, everyone provided exceptional care. Highly recommend this dental practice.

I recently came in to fix an existing filling and Dr. Ochoco pretty much saved my tooth and the bone underneath my tooth.. They scheduled me in same-day, used the upmost care and safety considering covid, and did an impeccable job on fixing my poor old tooth. The office is beautiful, the people are so so nice, and their work is top-notch, professional. Will be back for all my future dental work. They're great!!!

I am relatively new in town and did not have a dentist. I had a bit of an emergency with one of my tooth and call the office. The person who answered the phone was extremely helpful, scheduled me an appointment right away and went way beyond to help me with my insurance coverage, Also, electronically sent me all forms to fill out so i had ZERO wait times when i got there. I went straight from the front door to the dental chair.. THATS A FIRST in any doctors visit. Dr. Ochoco was very personable and took the time to explain everything in detail, he was easy to engage and likable. The entire support staff was very professional and attentive. I walked away feeling they genuinely cared about MY well being. I am in the customer service industry and I have to say i also walked away with some valuable lessons on how to take care of your guest.
