Michael A Ocampo, DDS

I could not be happier with the dental work I had done by Dr. Ocampo. After falling on my teeth as a child, I needed to have veneers and crowns on my front four teeth. My previous dentist had left me with crooked, fake looking, poor quality veneers that were not sealed properly, resulting in decay underneath. After consulting with Dr. Ocampo, we agreed on the perfect shade and shape of my new teeth.
Not only was the process smooth and stress-​free, but the Dr. himself was extremely personable. I was put at ease by Dr. Ocampo and his assistants and really felt I was in good hands. I uploaded my «after» picture as my default to show how natural the result was.
I am now much more confident and get compliments all the time on my beautiful smile. Dr. Ocampo is the only dentist I will ever go to after having such a great experience from start to finish.

Our family has seen Dr. Ocampo for the last 20 years, and could not be happier. He takes his work very seriously, but has an extremely personable attitude. He never fails to ask questions about what is going on in my life, and I appreciate that. Not to mention all of the aides and clerical workers treat our family with respect and kindness. I have seen 4 other dentists (because of moves) and always came back to Dr. Ocampo.

I’ve been going to Dr. Ocampo for a few years now. He’s the best.
As an example, a month ago, I was planning on leaving for a vacation to Japan. On the Friday evening before, I had extreme pain in one tooth. I was leaving from SFO on Monday morning. I might have had to cancel my vacation if this could not be resolved immediately. After contacting him on Friday evening, he came out to his office on Saturday and resolved my issue completely. That showed me that not only is he extremely competent, but that he really cares about his patients.
His front-​office staff and dental hygienists and asistants are also wonderful.

Love the convenient location in Pleasanton (it was right across from my work).
I loved coming here, everyone was really friendly and nice. I had some teeth cleanings and fillings done here. I have really sensitive and cavity prone teeth so Dr. Ocampo made sure that my teeth were taken care of. It was always a comfortable environment, clean and modern.
After one of my fillings there was discomfort when I chewed so I just came back and he smoothed it out and it was no problem.
With regards to any «up-​selling» from other reviewers, I didn’t experience that but it’s something to be aware of in any business, just make sure that you know what you are signing up for and don’t agree to something you aren’t willing to pay for. Don’t bite off more than you can chew, eh?

Both my husband & I went to Dr. Ocampo for years and we were both very happy with him. He then had a change in staff that created issues with my insurance. They kept telling me my visits were not covered & requesting payments. I had to call the insurance each time and had to have it rebilled. My husband did not have an issue & we were on the same plan. After contacting my insurance I was told that the office had used an incorrect code and that I was always covered. The office manager at the time was very appologetic and said I wasn’t alone and she was sorry I had to be so involved. After a year’s worth of visits & of dealing with this for weeks after I had been seen. I thought it was resolved. His office manager retired & I when I made my next visit I was told that I would have to pay upfront because my insurance was an issue. I called back & cancelled both my appointment & my husband’s appointment and I decided to try a new denisit & was happy with the change. FYI I still have the same insurance to this day & no issue since leaving. I probably would have stayed with Dr. O if his staff had handled it better. I was very happy with him.

Dr. Ocampo is the best!

I love Dr. Ocampo office! I’ve been going there for years after Dr. Ocampo saved me from a dentist who would constantly drill on me and without fail try to talk me into veneers and all kinds of junk I didn’t need. I’ve always been happy with my bill (can’t remember last time I had one. Insurance usually covers everything) and staff is always friendly and professional. They are great with children and very patient. I bring all my children (3, 5, and 9) in with me to get our teeth clean. Even with all those kids buzzing around the office the staff isn’t even the slightest bit annoyed or frazzled.

I really liked the doctor and all the staff and their service until he performed treatment that I didn’t need. It cost a fortune and I disputed it but he never made the effort to contact me to discuss it.
My tooth sensitivity was not resolved after numerous visits.
This was one big «up-​sell».
He lost two patients as a result of the up-​sell plus his refusal to discuss it.
One of his hygienists did the same thing. She told me I need major cleaning work that would require anesthesia and at least two appointments but 3 other dentists confirmed that this was not necessary. Up-​sell again.
It is border line unethical.

This is the WORST service EVER!!! First visit they over charged my fiancé and billed her an extra $ 800 without her permission. Second visit the charge me for a bill that was never done on me. Had to argue with them that this type of work was never done. Third visit they scheduled us for a Thursday and had to rearrange our schedule which was no problem. When we got there they told us it was Wed. They realized it was there mistake again. For such a high rated cost and service this place has the WORST service and filing.
Would not refer this place to anyone. If you do go there please make sure to call the front desk and review the paperwork twice. Never again…

I am a person who’s had bad experience w/​dentists in the past but Dr. Ocampo eases all the tension when you are in the dentist chair. He is quick and makes the procedures painless.
His staff is very friendly and helpful. They also email you reminders that make it convenient when you don’t have time to answer the phone or busy all day. Most times they can schedule that same week or even same day you call. They work very fast and you are not spending all day at the dentist– makes me a happy person.
I am making him my primary dentist for sure.
