Nancy Shiba, DDS

I’m going to preface this review by saying that I am no longer a patient of Dr. Shiba but only because she’s not in my insurance network and I can’t afford additional costs… but I used to be a patient and my parents still are. She is professional and does quality work, another dentist (who is still in practice) used to treat my whole family and Dr. Shiba fixed his shabby work. My mother always says that Dr. Shiba SAVED her teeth… Enough said!!! A clean and modern office with a friendly staff just adds to the quality Dr. Shiba provides.

If I could give Dr. Shiba and her staff 10 stars I would.
I’ve been going to Dr. Shiba since I got my first tooth. Dr. Shiba is the best.
She is patient, her staff is AMAZING and thorough and sweet. She is crazy-​knowledgeable and has an awesome, friendly and reassuring bed-​side manner. When I was in college, she saved me an immense amount of pain by helping me realize that I probably clench my teeth and recommended a night guard instead of anything else.
I’ve made emergency trips to see her from 4 hours away and I still commute from either my home in Scotts Valley or my office in Sunnyvale to see her. Always worth it!
Dr. Shiba’s office is the best and they are clean and efficient tech-saavy…I can go on an on!

Top notch! I meant to write a review on my last couple visits, but forgot. Dr. Shiba did an excellent job on my crowns. She also explains the processes and answers my questions clearly. Patty does an excellent job with my cleanings, and Mary is super helpful with my insurance paperwork and appt scheduling. They work with me within my budget to do the work *needed* in prioritized stages. The entire staff is friendly, which really helps comfort the nerves that I get with dental work. I like the ‘text’ reminders for my appts too.

I was referred to Dr. Shiba by my old dentist when a relocation made trips to her office difficult.
Dr. Shiba has given me fantastic care — she’s very thorough and careful. She’ll also take her time, so if something needs to be broken into two appointments or take awhile, she’ll make sure to take the time.
She also uses the latest technology and keeps extensive records about everything. This allows her to provide exceptionally detailed treatment and maintenance advice. I’ve had her literally point to something in my mouth, explain it, explain why it is/isn’t good, and what to do/​not do about it.
Her work in cosmetic dentistry is also a welcome plus. Crows, fillings, and even temporaries are well matched. I had to have a temporary crown put on and you couldn’t tell that it wasn’t a normal tooth — and the crown that replaced it matched perfectly.
The office staff is superb. They remember you, they’re very talented, and they’re understanding. The office manager is also extremely well organized and knows how to handle insurance companies, billing questions, and more.
Definitely worth your patronage.

Excellent!!! Superb! Fabulous! Amazing! Out of this world!!! Angels!!! Need I say more? I think not :)

excellent dentist! dr. nancy shiba is a superstar!
she takes the time to explain everything to you. she is friendly, super knowledgeable, and passionate.
i no longer see her because i live in san francisco now, but i definitely recommend her.
staff is great.

I have been going to Dr. Shiba for a couple of year now, and she is by far the BEST dentist I have ever encountered.
From the moment you enter her office, you are greeted by the very friendly staff. Turnover is very low, so you are sure to see the same people everytime you visit.
The facility is located in an older building, but once you get inside, it is top notch. It is extremely clean and she definitely has top of the line equipment.
Dr. Shiba and her assistants are wonderful. They definitely take their time with you and really focus on educating you and tips on prevention so that you never have to go in with rotten teeth ever!
I have also started to take my two little kids there, and they were intimidated at first, but the staff helped them to warm up pretty quickly. I couldn’t believe they got them to sit still much less open their mouths and allow them to clean!
I have found my dentist for life!
