Herber, Hobert E DDS

Wow! After my last nightmare dental experience at a different practice, I am so glad I held out and got a second opinion with my favorite dentist Dr. Herber. My old insurance had me going to a quack practice that was simply horrible. I upgraded my dental insurance back to a PPO so I can go back to see Dr. Herber. Dear Dr. Herber has retired and Dr. Davis now owns the practice. He has maintained the same friendly, professional staff and brought other dentists on with wonderful bedside manner. Dr. Walters and hygentist Sherrie helped me through a painful dental problem that the other dentist told me I needed a root canal. Dr. Walters corrected diagnosed my tooth as having a crack under an old silver filling. An expensive root canal was not needed after all. Dr. Davis came in an personally introduced himself which was a very nice touch. I will never go to another dental practice again. I am very happy with this office!

Okay so I just finished my appointment with Dr. Herber and I’m beyond pleased. I realize we are talking talking about a trip to the Dentist but it was that good. He gave me a plan and didn’t up sell at all. I had a DDS tell me I needed crowns and what not. Not true I needed a referral for oral surgery and I have a cavity. His hygienist and staff were amazing. I would recommend his practice to anyone.

Dr. Herber and his staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I was on vacation for a week in Pismo, had an infection which was diagnosed as an abcess, Dr. Herber’s receptionist got me in within 30 min and called to check that I was finding the office ok. Dr. Herber was very friendly, he and his staff got right to work and gave me my diagnosis with a recommendation to see a specialist in their area as well as a prescription, sample pack of pain meds, and a copy of my x-​rays for when I return home. Overall, AWESOME experience! Thank you to the whole office — so professional and friendly! Oh, and they gave my two little ones a toy even though it was Mom’s appt!

Dr. Herber and his staff are wonderful, friendly, and professional. My daughter grew up with a HUGE dentist phobia from a bad experience at another dentist when she was a tot. Dr. Herber’s kindness and attention to her needs has essentially broken her of that. I’m so grateful to have found this dentist.

The worst dentist I’ve ever been to. He’s CONSTANTLY up-​selling his patients on procedures they don’t need. I literally heard him going from patient to patient saying «You really need a cleaning. Lucky for you, I have an opening today at 2 pm.» 3 or 4 times in a matter of minutes he was turned down before he got to me with that same routine. So annoying! Before I knew how sheisty he really is, I had him look at a tooth that was causing me intense pain. He glanced at the tooth, but then was sure to tell me about several other teeth that he thought needed work, although they weren’t hurting me and that’s NOT what I came in for.
Still, I had him perform a bridge (removing a baby tooth and shaving down the teeth on either side to «cap» all 3 teeth with a fake mold) on the tooth that was hurting me. From the second he put the mold in, I knew it wasn’t right. I told him so and was quickly disregarded me. It felt HUGE in my mouth… certainly way bigger then my real teeth were. I later went to two other Dentists Michael Stehula (AG) and Guy Jones (PB) who both said that the bridge was not well done. One of them said he would’ve given it a ‘C’ grade.
I would encourage anyone who is looking for a good, reasonable, ethical dentist to keep on looking… this guy doesn’t fit the bill.

Best dentist on the central coast. He was great when I need an emergency apt thank u Dr Herber
