Robert J Pelzar, DMD

Honestly sometimes reviews are hard for me because I don’t wanna give a bad review and yet I don’t wanna give one too worthy if they weren’t that worthy.
Well I believe Dr Pelzar is the Best Dentist there is .
He’s worthy of all the prize one can give.
This is definitely not just too compliment.
It hits home inside when I visit this dentist office.
Its very heartwarming too see a dentist that truly truly cares.
He will really tell you what you need.
There’s no need to question that he knows what he’s talking about but go for it he’ll have a great response that’ll make you sold like wow this guy doesn’t even have me second guessing.
He’s a very professional guy who will never rip you off.
His staff is the best.
They put a smile on my face every time.
Dr PElzar makes me realize there’s people in these fields that truly are there for the patients.
I’ve known this guy for yrs, followed him and kept track ha just soo I can always have him too ask questions too and see from time too time.
Whoever has had the pleasure of being a dr Pelzar patient is truly blessed.
I highly suggest this guy and I back up and vouch for him fully.
THe dentist is a really wise dude.

«Pel» is amazing. It’s not just that he and his staff are exceptional at what they do, but also the manner in which you are put at ease. They tell you like it is, don’t lecture you about things you’re not going to change (flossing anyone?), and you just stop dreading going to the dentist. Seriously. I knew at some point this one particular tooth had to go and wasn’t looking forward to it, assuming I’d be referred out to a tooth-​pulling specialist. The fact that Dr. Pel could take care of it eliminated my fear, and the extraction itself was easy. Not for him; it had to be cut up into pieces, but no problem at my end. Didn’t need any pain killers after either. If you can get into his schedule, do it. And yes, Judy and Laurie are awesome too. –Mike–

Dr. Pelzar is great with kids, and very accommodating with special requests. (He let my 3 year old lay on top of me while getting a cavity filled.) He does not push unnecessary procedures at all. Just a great, smart, ethical dentist. His dental hygienists do not scold, and are gentle but thorough. His staff remembers us when we walk in. Big thumbs up for this practice. I drive over half an hour to get there, but it is worth it.

Dr. Pelzar and his team of staff are absolutely amazing! I love walking in to the office and not feeling like a nameless client. They are friendly, greet me by name, and make an effort to know what is going on in my life. Dr. Pelzar is so friendly and honest. He explains everything: what he observes, what he is suggesting, and what he is doing during procedures. I always walk out feeling confident that my mouth is taken care of and we have a solid plan of action for my dental care. I highly recommend Dr. Pelzar!

Dr. Pelzar, Judy (dental hygienist), and Laurie (dental assistant) are the best team. I truly enjoy going to the dentist. They are extremely gentle and always want the best for me. The three of them always entertain me during my visit and make the experience that much more enjoyable. They are amazingly gifted and I will forever recommend this great group of professionals. (and lets not forget Cari and Janet at the front desk, they are always kind and warm to talk to).

Over the years I have found this to be a very well run and well staffed office. Everybody is kind and patient; you never feel rushed or as if you’re being milked for unnecessary procedures to generate revenue (which sad to say was my experience at a couple of other dentists before I found Dr. Pelzar). This is an old school establishment in that you feel like you’re part of the community, not just another patient passing through. Dr. Pelzar is also a really interesting guy with many hobbies and fun to talk to. Kudos also to Lauri, the hygienist, a warm lady who puts you at ease.

Dr. Pelzar is terrific. He is fair, very clear, personable, and highly capable. He is also funny and makes a normally unpleasant experience – well, less unpleasant and even, if possible, fun. This is in no small way aided by his lovely and very engaging staff, who have conspired to make my dentist visits simple and efficient. Lauri is a hoot and adds to the all-​around excellence. Worth your business.

Absolutely the best I have ever had. I will have to travel from SF now to see him but so worth it!

Exceptional dentist. Best I have ever had in my 55 years.

Dr, Pelz is awesome. He’s super talented and really, really nice. The practice is very clean and they invest in the latest technology.
He’s a car guy too, so I always have something to chat with him about.
The staff is really good as well. You can schedule cleanings etc with a chosen hygenist. Which I really appreciate after finding one that I like (Judy — highly recommended).

About a month ago I went to see a dentist in RWC. I hadn’t been to the dentist in awhile and I wanted to get fitted for a nightguard. I had my teeth cleaned and during the session the hygienist hounded me about teeth whitening. I basically said «No Thank You» three times before she let up. The doc gave a pretty thorough exam and then at the end said his office manager would explain what was needed. ??? Seemed strange since he was the doc. Anyway, the office manager sat me down in a separate room and proceeded to tell me I needed about 4K worth of work… after a 20% discount. What!!!
Went to Pelzar because my wife goes there. I told him about my visit to the RWC dentist and the 4K estimate. He looked at my x-​rays, checked out my teeth and then scratched his head and said he didn’t know what the guy was looking at or how he could possibly come up with 4K worth of work. I needed one filling replaced, a chipped tooth filled, and a new nightguard. Less than 1K. When I mentioned my experience in the «sales room «with the previous doc he was pretty upset and we had a brief talk about professional ethics and «Production Driven Dentistry».
If you’re looking for a straight up, old school honest dentist then Pelzar is your man.
Ditto on the last review regarding staff, all very friendly.

I can’t believe that I am the first to write a review for Dr. Pelzar. His patients must not know about Unilocal,because if they did you would already know how FABULOUS he is.
Where do I begin? Before I tell you why you should make Dr. Pelzar your dentist, let me preface by saying that I have been to three other dentists over the past ten years and none of them even come close to being in the same league with Dr. Pelzar.
When I recently started looking for a new dentist I was nervous at the thought of trying someone out of the blue, so I decided to post an ad on Craigslist for a recommendation. I needed to have a cavity fixed that was starting to show when I smiled. I was so paranoid about finding a good dentist, that even after Dr. Pelzar’s name was recommended (more than once) in reply to my posting, I still didn’t make an appointment until almost two months later. Boy am I glad I made that call.
When I arrived for my appointment the front office girls — Janet, Kari and Barbara — were so friendly they felt like long lost friends. I was late for my appointment because I read the address wrong (I guess an eye doctor is next on my list) but they took me right in with no problem.
When Dr. Pelzar’s dental assistant LAURI (she knows why she’s in caps ;) lead me to the dental chair, I liked her instantly. She has such a fun and pleasant energy about her. When Dr. Pelzar walked in the room I was immediately impressed with his friendly and humorous nature, which really put me at ease. During my consultation Dr. Pelzar explained my options and never once tried to upsell me treatments I didn’t need. He gave me the option of not being numbed (a first for me) since the tooth was not painful. I took him up on that and was so happy to have the tooth drilled and filled in no time at all, with no pain. In making that choice I could leave his office with my face, tongue and saliva in tact — yeah! And the filling matches my tooth color perfectly.
When Dr. Pelzar was working on my tooth I could sense a confident hand that was both skilled and experienced. Both Dr. Pelzar and Lauri have a great chairside manner. I just can’t express how happy I am to have found a good HONEST dentist who is not full of himself. You can tell he genuinely cares because he explains everything and addresses your concerns without pushing unnecessary services.
If you decide to try Dr. Pelzar based on my review, and you leave with the same positive experience that I did, please do the Unilocal community a favor and write a review, because more people need to know about him. And when you go to your visit, tell Dr. Pelzar and staff that Jodie says «Hi».
