Ochoa Robert N, DDS

Dr. Ochoa is awesome! So is Suzette! If you need a dentist, look no further. This place is the best.

I’m a recently treated, new patient of Dr. Ochoa’s. I had a feeling that this guy was so good at what he does that I decided to try a little test… just as he was about to inject me with novocaine before starting work on 2 surface fillings, I asked him if I could «take a pass» on the numbness. And guess what? Still no pain!
I’ll need to go back for a root canal or 2 over the next several months, and I’m actually looking forward to the experience (well, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration). I’d easily have given him 5 stars; but he’s a dentist, and who doesn’t cringe at the thought of going to the dentist — even one this good! Highly recommended.

Dr. Ochoa is a very experienced dentist. He is caring and attentive. His staff are on the ball and looking out for you. He doesn’t have fancy posters of puppies up on the ceiling or glamorshots of his staff on the wall which is just fine. I look forward to seeing Dr. Ochoa and his staff soon!

Been a patient for 15 years. Dr. Ochoa and his staff are awesome. Next door is Dr. Horn, oral surgeon and he rocks too. I’ve had it all done by these two great dentists. I just wish they would move south. Highly recommended.

I have been a patient here for about 3 years now. After having two really bad dentist experiences in Austin, I was so grateful to have Dr. Ochoa referred to me. I’ll never see a different dentist again!
I’ve never required a lot of dental work, but come here for my regular cleanings. The staff is always so friendly and efficient when I call to schedule my appointments. As a bonus, they always seem to be running on schedule when I show up for my appointments and I really appreciate that!
I like to bring a sweater along for my visits because it’s chilly in their office. Like make your arm hair stand on edge kind of chilly. Some people may think I’m a wimp in the cold, but I’d still play it safe if I were you, especially if you are female :)
Since I’ve been here a few times, I’ve had a few different dental hygenists and they’ve all been gentle and kind. They also oddly all seem really interested in my teeth and what I have to say about them.
They always send me home with a toothbrush and toothpaste and make me feel like a special customer every visit I have with them. My smile is always sparkling clean, which is nice too, of course.
This is definitely a great dentist you will not regret visiting. Call ‘em today and have him clean only the teeth you want to keep!
PS– Busy office. Plan at least a month for an appointment (at least usually). BUT they do have a waiting list you can get on, and yes, they do call out on it.

I have been going to Dr. Ochoa for a few years now, ever since two or three other people at work recommended him. I’m sad that Nick P had such an awful experience, as I was the one who referred him to Dr. Ochoa. I like that the office staff is very friendly, and they run on time. The office is also clean and has a small play area for children. I see the same hygienist each time, and she has been great at recommending ways I can get to hard-​to-​reach places, or strategies to maintain healthy teeth and gums while I had braces.
What I don’t like is their parking situation. Their office shares a parking lot with the oral surgeon next door, and the spaces are small. If a large truck or SUV is parked in there, it can be difficult to park and/​or navigate through the small lot. Additionally, the parking lot is a one-​way drive, so you come out on a road with lots of parallel parkers and it’s difficult to see as you pull out onto the road. But for going every six months, it’s worth the hassle of parking, especially if you go first thing in the morning before everyone else gets there.

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Ochoa for almost ten years. Neither of us have required any major dental work, but go twice a year and are always greeted by nice, friendly staff. They are prompt to send you reminder cards and follow up with a phone call to remind you of your appointment. I don’t recall a time where I sat in the waiting room for any amount of time that seemed unreasonble. He and his office make going to the dentist as enjoyable as it can be.

Dr. Ochoa is amazing. I had a really hard time finding a good dentist when I moved to Austin. While I was a grad student at UT, I went to a dentist for a routine cleaning/​checkup and was told I needed to have ALL my fillings replaced with crowns immediately. This would have cost $ 10 – 12,000!!! So after this, I was thrilled when I eventually found Dr. Ochoa. He is trustworthy and a great dentist. Most recently, I went in for tooth pain. Initially they thought I would need a root canal, a scary thought since I am pregnant and can’t take much for pain. I am sure most dentists would have gone ahead with the root canal but Dr. Ochoa found a less invasive/​painful/​expensive way to deal with it. I now have a temporary filling so they can see if I actually need the root canal — which at this point it seems like I don’t — and then I’ll have a crown put on it after I have the baby.
I think Dr. Ochoa is the best dentist I’ve ever had. I don’t hesitate to recommend him.

I love Dr. Ochoa and his entire staff — I have never had a dentist this friendly, thorough, and meticulous about the work he does on my teeth. He doesn’t try to sell you services you don’t need, and the office will help you finance work done through a medical line of credit to give you numerous payment options.
I’ve had extensive restorations done with them in the past year. (and I do mean extensive!) Dr. Ochoa offers CEREC crowns, which are porcelain crowns done in-​house, without any need to be fitted with temporary crowns. His team went above and beyond my expectations on the day my restorations were done. Anyone looking for an awesome dentist should give him a try!

Great dentist referred to me by several other doctors, including my orthodontist, who uses him as his personal dentist. Great guy, easy to talk to (except when he has his fingers in your mouth), won’t bs you about extra services you might need when you really don’t. Even told me I had great masseters, so how awesome is that?
