Jack E Sherman, DDS

Dr. Sherman has been my dentist for over 25 years. He also treats my three grown children and my 82 year old mother. We liked him so much, we continued to come to Jack for the 10 years we lived in Palo Alto. Jack just installed another crown for me (I’m a grinder), right next to the excellent work he did 23 years ago. All are holding up great! My second son had some bad early experiences with another dentist, and swore off going. Jack managed to finesse him into the chair, and was able to complete some much needed dental work. Jack has the very unusual combination of decades of experience, being right up to date on the latest techniques, and a flawless chair-​side manner. I cannot recommend Jack highly enough. With luck, his new partner will pick up some of Jack’s wonderful talents.

I have been going to Dr. Sherman for 30 years, and he’s nearly always done great to perfect dental work for me. He’s personable, kind, and has an excellent sense of when he needs to refer to a specialist. He’s just taken on another dentist in his practice, and office practices are changing. Can’t tell yet whether it’s for the good. Highly recommended.

I have been going to Dr. Sherman since the 1980’s and he has been the best dentist ever. I was fearful and had not been to the dentist in years when I found him through 1800dentist. His dental work is excellent and his chairside manner is outstanding. I highly recommend him.

Visited this guy a couple of years ago and he did a shotty job! He spoke to me for 1o minutes about general periodotic things and charged big time for «consultation». His dental student did the cleaning and not only left my gums swollen, but I think she may have even left a piece of metal in the gum (thus the swolleness). Found him through 1−800-dentist. My advice based on this — what do you think???

I love Dr. Sherman so much that I don’t even follow his instructions for exemplary tooth care. JUST SO I HAVE A REASON to go back and see him again. That’s right– no flossing, no brushing, and nothing but candy, cookies, coffee, and cakes. I’d even get my tongue re-​pierced if it meant more tooth damage for Dr. Sherman to fix. Ok– I made all that up. I do brush and I do floss (sometimes) and I do eat things besides sugar and I would NEVER get my tongue pierced again.
That said, I did something terribly wrong. Because my gums and my back tooth are on freaking fire! Can you guess whose chair I’ll be sitting in next week? Praying for novacaine and an extraction? That’s right. Dr. Sherman. Get ready, Doctor. Here I come.
Excellent doctor. Clean office. Barbara the Office Manager is sweeter than anything. Reasonable prices for those of you without insurance. Conveniently located on the 38 Geary line. What’s not to love? Now go break a tooth or get a cavity or something.

I love going to the dentist. I know it’s a bit freakish, but everytime I go I walk out feeling like I can rule the world. Usually the visit goes like this:
Doc’s Hygenist: «So Zev, any problems or concerns with your teeth since the last time you were here?»
Zev: «Nope, everything seems to be ok. Well, nothing except that my teeth probably hate me from the amount of coffee, cigarettes, and red wine I consume on a daily basis.»
Doc’s Hygenist: «And are you flossing on a regular basis?»
Zev: «Do you want the truth or would you prefer a lie?»
Doc’s Hygenist: *Blank Stare*
Zev: «Ok, ok, I hate flossing. I never do it. The only time I floss is when you folks do it for me. I know I should, but honestly, I never will.»
****After the scraping and flossing and cleaning***
Doc’s Hygenist: «Well…I hate saying this considering that you don’t floss and you smoke and drink coffee, but your teeth are perfect. There is absolutely nothing wrong with them.»
I’ve been with Doc Sherman for about 4 years and in that time his office has done all my cleanings, pulled my wisdom teeth, and re-​filled the one little cavity I have. They rock.
Oh yeah! Drinking, smoking and not flossing = 1 point
Doc Sherman (although he’s awesome!) = zilch.
