David Jou, DDS

I have been with Dr Jou for several years now, and I am very comfortable saying that I’m happy with his team and his work ethics. Usually I would switch dentists every year because of the poor front office or pressure to get things I don’t need. He would advice me to pay attention to such and such or this might happen. So when he says I need something, I know it’s real.

This review is long overdue. Dr. Jou and staff have been wonderful. I decided to visit Dr. Jou’s office (after searching Unilocal reviews) back in 2011 and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. With my past experience with horrible dentist, Dr. Jou has always put me at ease. He is patient with my nervousness. He is very flexible and accommodates me when needed. He genuinely cares about his patients and their well-​being. His staff has always been friendly as well. I cannot speak more highly of him, as a dentist.

I went there this morning. feb 14 2013. Nice small office, very quick, And helpful Jou was very friendly and cleaned my teeth and told me to come back for a deeper clean.

I discovered this place through Unilocal and I must say i placed my dental care in safe hands. I have been here four times (including my dental check up and deep tissue cleaning) and my experience has been consistent and a good one.
Dr David Jou is an excellent dental care professional. He was very gentle while performing his procedure, in fact i felt no pain at all each time I returned from a dental visit.
This dentist is easy on your teeth as well as on your pocket. Staff is friendly and helpful especially Dr Jou’s assistant. Special thanks to all of them for accommodating me for the deep tissue cleaning at a short notice. I would prefer sticking with this clinic for any future dental care needs.

Dr. Jou is such a relief after my last dentist, he is compassionate and very easy going; oh yeah I forgot to mention he has very good energy. The office is clean and the staff is friendly. I am so happy that I found this place it sort of takes away my fear of going to the «Dentist».

Found this dentist on Unilocal when looking for a new one since my insurance changed. I’ve been to this dentist three times so far and no problems yet. The staff and the dentist are very friendly I never have to wait long and he’s really fast. I would totally recommend him to other Unilocalers.

After my last experience with the previous denitst, this dentist is refreshing on my wallet and my mouth. He gave me nothing but good news, he was efficient on time and was honest about what needed to be done. He did not even mention it as a need to do hundreds of dollars of supposed «necessary work» that my last dentist said I needed. Thank you Dr Jou for your honesty, which will definitely pay off because I will continue going to you.
Staff is also friendly and their office appears to be maintained.

It’s true that the building was a little old and machines could be newer. But I will tell you this the staff couldn’t be more friendlier and more helpful, especially Christine. I talked to a lot horrible customer service from different dentist offices. Christine was super friendly and helpful. Even though my company changed to a different insurance company which they don’t do business with (which is sucked), Christine’s still tried her best to help me and give me the information I requested. Giving a 5-​star rating is largely because of Christine. I would definitely come back if I have an insurance that Dr David Jou office accepts.

Dr Jou is the best!
Other dentist look for reasons to do work and invent insurance claims. Dr Jou took a serious look at the status of my teeth and provided honest advise.
He was also very considerate of the pain level — and took some quick breaks when I needed them — due to sensitivity.
I wish I would have found him many years ago.

I hate to be the first to be giving the bad review. I chose Dr. Jou because of the good reviews here at Unilocal.Unfortunately, I can’t say the same. I’m reviewing my overall experience here.
1. The building was old. The clinic was old. The x-​ray machine and dental equipment were old as well. I have mixed feelings about it.
2. His dental assistant did the polishing then Dr. Jou did the cleaning. Her hands was really heavy. After she’s done polishing my teeth, my gums were sore.
3. The machine was too loud it hurts my ears. This is the first time I’ve experienced this.
4. Dr. Jou would stop and watch the TV while cleaning my teeth.
5. The cleaning was done in less than 30 minutes. For some reason, I didn’t feel like I had a cleaning after I left his clinic. First time in so many years that I felt that way.
Overall, I was NOT happy. 3 days after my cleaning my gums still hurt and gotten even more sensitive. I am not going back and would find another dentist. Dr. Jou seems like a good guy but the whole experience didn’t just worked out for me. I had better dental experience in the past.

The previous reviews are right on about this place…
The location of the office leaves little to be desired; however, the service of the staff more than makes up for it. Dr. Jou is very nice and patient and best of all he is honest!!! (You can read up on my full story of why I went to him on my previous review of Setty Dental — San Jose).
If you care more about integrity and quality rather than aesthetics, I’d say give this office a try.

I was very nervous about going to a new dentist but the let me come in for a visit and made me feel very comfortable. I sch a cleaning, and then sch for some work to be done. They did a great job now I feel like I don’t have to worry about smiling… Thank You

I’ve had 4 Dentist in the last 10 years David Jou is the best yet.
He wont nickel and dime you like a lot of other dentist, he’s great for people like me who can’t handle painful dental work.

This place is still running like clock-​work. I went in for a routine check up, six months after my visit and nothing changed in terms of service. The staff is still courteous, the appointment was quick, and the procedure was painless and very comfortable. I’m thinking its probably worth while to take advantage of some of their other services.
.I’ve always wanted to get my teeth whitened.

It had taken me eight years until I broke down and decided to go to a dentist. My friend highly recommended Dr. Jou to me. She used to have a fear of dentists until Dr. Jou. I’m glad I took her recommendation. My visit went very well! I’m very impressed! He and his staff knows how to get the job done quickly and also quell my anxieties about going to the dentist. I wish I could say this a lot more eloquently, which they deserve much wonderful praise, but I think the other 5-​starred reviews can say it so much better than me.

I am so lucky to find a dentist that is as good as David. He has the right combination of technical know how both dentistry and materials used in dentistry, great personal touch with the patient, and a very professional attitude toward getting it done right the first time. He has even gotten me to start flossing on a regular basis, because he motivates me to take care of my own teeth. He also makes me feel comfortable by NOT trying to get me to buy unnecessary things as my previous dentist was doing. I also need to mention the staff is very good and takes care of all issue related with insurance and scheduling. This is a great place to go and a hidden gem.

Dr. David is a good doctor! He really save my toothache…
The place is not luxury, but cozzy. It’s also reflect to the reasonable price ^^ –not lke other dental group overcharge me … Dr. David is professional and effective to fix my toothache at first time I went to see him; and in the process to cure my ach was not hurt at all, Also, his assistent was well-​training and experienced, she made me felt relax.

Pros
–Nice clerical staff
–Friendly hygienist/​assistant
–The office has a welcoming feeling
–Dr Jou is kind, patient, flexible
–He will help any way he can, added bonus: good sense of humor
Cons
–After several years as his patient, none

My husband and I’ve been going to Dr. Jou since he took over Dr. Shimamoto’s practice several years ago. He has had the same assistant since he took over the practice. He is always on-​time (I usually book in the morning). He is very personable and interested in you.
Dr. has updated the equipment and is very focused on keeping up with the latest techniques. I have been very happy with my teeth cleaning and other services he has provided. I think he is always willing to go the extra mile.

A co-​worker of mine referred me to this dental office so I decided to give it a try… and I am glad I did. I have been going to Dr. David Jou for over a year and so far I have no complaints. He’s patient, careful and considerate about his patient’s well being. His receptionist is very friendly and his dental assistant is super nice too.
You can always ask questions and address your concerns. Dr Jou will give you professional answers and make sure you are comfortable with each treatment. I highly recommend this dental office. Over the last 5 years, I switched dentists/​dental offices 3 times and I finally found one I am satisfied with. Five Stars!
