Deborah A Shiba, D.D.S.

I have been seeing Dr. Shiba for a couple years now and I can honestly say that she’s a terrific dentist. She did a crown for me about a year ago that looks and feels terrific (on a tooth that had a fracture and was causing great pain).
When I was in my early twenties I chipped my front tooth on a beer bottle (trying to open it but come on who hasn’t done that). A week ago she did a filling to cover up the chip (which was at very edge of the tooth) and completely blew my mind. You cannot even tell there’s a filling there. It’s a very visible place and I couldn’t be happier with the work.
Her hygienist is always amazing and leaves my teeth feeling like they just had a full spa treatment and her receptionist is always full of smiles. Her assistant is amazing too. She has the most infectious laughter and will laugh at my jokes even though they’re not that funny :)

I LOVE DR. SHIBA! Seriously, she is awesome, I was recommended to her by a Coworker, and boy am I glad I went! She made my teeth feel amazing after a deep clean, she is very thorough, and along with the help of her awesome assistant Ray, they made my teeth feel the best they have in years.
They are awesome with appointment reminders, they really do care about you and your teeth!
I would highly recommend Dr. Shiba to anyone!

Our family has been with Dr Shiba since she opened her practice, and we feel like she is part of the family. She is always wonderful and cheerful with a gentle touch. So is her assistant, Ray, with a very gentle touch, and they always get the best hygienists, too. The group stays current with new techniques and technologies, and I’m always taken in for my appointments on time. I happily recommend her for all of your general dental needs.

Deborah has been my dentist for many years. When my kids came along, she became their dentist as well. Quality work at reasonable prices and wonderful people — — it doesn’t get better than this.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Shiba ever since she opened her practice — about 30 years ago, I think. She and her staff are very skilled and professional as well as cheerful and helpful. She’s taken excellent care of my teeth over the years, and when I’ve needed specialized services outside the scope of general dentistry, she has referred me to very capable oral surgeons. She also got me into the office quickly after I took a bad fall and broke six teeth. In all this time, I’ve never had a problem with Dr. Shiba’s work, and I actually look forward to my visits. Highly recommended!

Dr. Shiba is a scammer in my opinion. At 20 years old I went to her while attending college nearby when I got my tooth knocked out of place while playing basketball. She was so nice that I started going to her for cleanings. I had never had a cavity before and while looking at my teeth she said my teeth were great and well taken care of, but that I had a cavity and needed a filling. I figured that there was a first time for everything and that it wasn’t too unusual to get one cavity. But then I go again for a cleaning in 6 months and she says I have yet another cavity. It seemed a little weird now. So, I cancelled the appt for the filling and scheduled an appt with my old dentist. Before that appt I get a call from the receptionist asking to reschedule my appt for THREE fillings. Now I know why the waiting room looks so fancy. I didn’t know what to say. Anyways I went to my old dentist and, of course, no cavities. Now a week ago the receptionist from Dr. Shiba’s office calls me again to reschedule my appt for TWO fillings. I don’t know what they’re doing in there, but I’m glad I got out of there before she put any more unnecessary fillings in my nice teeth.
UPDATE: Ever since she did the one filling that tooth has been sore when eating with that side of my mouth. During a recent visit to my current dentist he told me I have a cavity where Dr. Shiba did a filling. Now I know why my tooth has been hurting, which never hurt before seeing Dr. Shiba.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Shiba’s for 30+ years. She is an excellent dentist. Ray her assistant is still there also. Dr Shiba is gentle, and explains every procedure. I highly recommend her.

WOW, I’ve been a patient for almost 25 years! I have never experienced that «fear» of dentists I hear about because I look forward to seeing Dr. Shiba and her staff for my visits. She is gentle, professional, kind and has passion for her profession. She has a warm beautiful office and always has a super staff. I now live in San Francisco and drive down to San Jose just to see Dr. Shiba. If you have that «fear» of a dentist you should be seeing Dr. Deborah Shiba. You will be glad you did.

Ive been a patient of Dr Shiba’s for nearly 4 years and have been pleasantly surprised at her degree of professionalism by the staff. She is very efficient and truly is a practitioner of painless dentistry. Highly recommended!!!
