I am Dr. Shuff's Office Manager and have worked for him for over 25 years but have known him all my life - he is my older brother. Over the years I have enjoyed getting to know all of our patients and seeing the children grow into young adults. I have been married for 34 years and have 2 grown children and 3 grandchildren. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

Hi, I am Karen Mann and I am one of the Registered Dental Assistants in Dr. Shuff's office. After completing the Dental Assistant course at Loma Vista Adult Education, I was placed with Dr. Shuff for a 3 month internship. That was 24 years ago. I was raised in Concord and I still live there. I share a small house with one of my daughters, three grandchildren and 1 bathroom. We hope to add a dog in the mix soon.

I get charged $0.29 interest on a $29.20 balance for being late for 1 month! The service itself wasn't good either. I called and made an appointment with the doctor and I was clear on what's the issue is and what's my appointment for instead I get an appointment with the technician where she did full X-Ray and Cleaning that I didn't ask for just to milk my insurance the doctor meet me for less then 10s and said the same thing that I said when I called and they schedule another appointment almost a month later for the actual service. The issue was for food stuck between 2 teeth for a big gap he redone the filling for 2 teeth one next to the gap and the second 2 teeth away and the gap stay the same and didn't get any benefit from it. Once upon a time becoming doctor was a noble cause now it's just a good business.

I am not a habitual writer of reviews but in this case I feel one has been long deserved. I have been going to Dr. Li at Dr.Schuff's office for over ten years. The reason I am writing now is because today, once again, the office fitted me in to deal with an emergency. An old crown popped off while I was eating pizza. I would like to whole heartedly thank both Dr. Li and Dr. Schuff who have both worked on my teeth for their caring and reliable care over the last decade. The other wonderful members of staff I have gotten to know are Mahnaz, Jeanette, Lisa and Karen. The office is full of long standing employees which I believe is a testament to the two doctors. I won't go into the various treatments I have received but I can say without a doubt that you will not find a better group of people to take care of your teeth.

I drive all the way from San Rafael because I really like the dentists and dental hygienists. Never again will I go to a dentist who has no hygienists. They are a vital component of the dentist office and explain things to me in a way I can comprehend.
