Actually we were told, by Karen, we would have a small copay. Ex-rays cost each of us $400. My friend had to pay $1,000. We're very happy with our new dentist. read more

Cool dentist but had several billing issues (over charging or charging incorrectly) over several years. I caught a few and it then makes me wonder how many I missed. Had to change dentists as a result. read more

My husband and I recently moved to the area and needed to get established with a new dentist. We were very impressed from start to finish with the experience. Karen at the front desk was so kind and helpful over the phone and in person. Margaret did a great job at making me feel at ease during the exam. Dr. Stellpflug was fantastic, very friendly and knowledgable. He spent ample time explaining my case and options. Even after meeting him for the first time I can tell he really cares about me as a patient and is willing to go the extra mile to find solutions for my dental needs. The office is clean, relaxing, and comfortable. Julie provided great information at the end of the appointment regarding my treatment options. Would recommend to anyone looking for a thorough comprehensive dentist! read more

Great fun and professional staff that offers a safe and clean environment!

Dr Chris has been my kids primary dentist since they were small. He bought the practice where my mom worked as an RDA. He sold his practice in the Central Valley and moved to Pismo some years back and my kids refuse to see anyone but him. It's about a 3 and 1/2hr drive for us, but many of his patients from here drive to Pismo to see him because he is that good of a dentist and he is trustworthy. Dr Chris and his staff are super friendly, accommodating, professional and make you feel like family. We wouldn't go anywhere else. Best dentist anywhere! read more

Hands down best dental process I've been involved in. From protocol to process Chris and Julie keep things at the highest level. Took away any apprehension I had from previous offices and made it a place I could expect to have honest treatment. Wouldn't advise going to anyone else. read more

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Stellpflug's office for years. He and his staff are always friendly and efficient. Whenever I have an appointment, I've never waited more then five minutes to be called in. On the rare occasions that I've had a dental emergency or have a question after hours and I've called and left a message, Dr. Stellpflug has always called me back and been helpful. I highly recommend Chris Stellpflug if you're looking for a great dentist. read more

I have gone to the same dentist for years. But with me moving I wanted to find someone closer. I went here based on my coworkers recommendation. They were always so friendly when I called and very helpful. I even got a happy birthday text before I even went to my 1st appt. My 1st appt went great. It's in a very nice office building with a great view. It was decorated nicely and calmed me down. The dentist was very friendly and more thorough than my previous one. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this dental office. read more

The dentist's comment about the DEA is only partially correct and unrelated to my review of the dentist. Quoted from the DEA web site; "In an emergency, a practitioner may call-in a prescription for a Schedule II controlled substance by telephone to the pharmacy, and the pharmacist may dispense the prescription provided that the quantity prescribed and dispensed is limited to the amount adequate to treat the patient during the emergency period. The prescribing practitioner must provide a written and signed prescription to the pharmacist within seven days. Further, the pharmacist must notify DEA if the prescription is not received." I suspect the dentists knowledge of the law is on a similar level as general dentistry. read more

I found this office as I was looking for a caring, compassionate office with excellent bedside manners and skills. Dr Stellpflug and his staff are wonderful and genuinely care about each and everyone of their patients . They go above and beyond to make sure you are well taken care of. I highly recommend Dr Stellpflug and his office as they rock! read more

This is a clean office with up-to-date technology and it has allowed them to put a crown on in one visit... Not to mention that it was painless. They use new technology for teeth cleaning, which doesn't require a drill-sounding tool. Taking care of dental issues is basic health care and is one of those things that saves you time and pain and money in the long run if you get things taken care of correctly the first time. read more

From the kind and super friendly front desk, to the awesome, gentle dental hygienists , TO the sweet, thorough , and kind dentist Chris Stellpflug ....I have been a patient here along with my husband and sons for about 7 years and could not be happier!! I have had extensive dental work (due to poor genetics) and they have always provided great estimates for the work necessary and referrals to an awesome specialist. My husband also has specific dental needs and they have always been top notch! Thank you Dr. Chris and staff! read more

Always on time, always friendly, always professional!!!! Love Dr S and his crew! Great family dental care

Although Dr. Morrison will be sadly missed, Dr. Stellpflug has done an excellent job of carrying the torch for great dental care. I find him to be every bit as compassionate as Dr Morrison, spending as much time with you as needed. The office staff and dental hygienists are the same friendly people that have been there for years. Karen, the receptionist and Kathleen, the hygienist , are amazing at their jobs and are the main reason I've been a patient for many years. Of course, if you are high mantainence and proudly live your life by the mantra "I want everyone to LEAVE ME ALONE", then this may not be the dentist for you. However, if you want a first class dental experience with kind and friendly staff, then Dr. Stellpflug is second to none. read more

They told me "I was family here." My profession involves one-on-one patient surgical care. The up-most patient satisfaction has always been my priority here on the Central Coast of California. After having 3 of my teeth removed (as recommended by Dr. Stellpflug) by my oral surgeon to improve my smile (6,000$ + screws), Dr. Stellpflug & staff promised me a path to a beautiful smile. My partial in-between-care broke twice within 4 months (with proper care on my part). I contacted the lab that made the partial in Lompoc in early June . I was brought to tears over the phone by Alicia, Dr. Stellpflug's assistant. She stated,"Dr. Stellpflug is really upset with you. How did you know that we used this lab? You are..." I kept trying to talk, but she kept cutting be off. I kept trying to enunciate the fact that I just want to smile again. It's really taken a toll on my psychological health... These past 2 weeks have been awful. I miss greeting, and smiling to my patients. read more

I had my teeth cleaned and examined by him and his staff since I moved hereI had two hygenists, one I enjoyed very much, one not as much. It's an energy match thing (I work in energy medicine) You can request the one you prefer, which is a nice feature. I think Dr Stellpflug is a great, effective, nice person, with some dental practices that perhaps don't take into account the needs of someone with a a deeper understanding of Eastern Medicine than most, hence my negative encounter with his hygenist, and I guess his dental practice "Rules". The issue for me was the following. I go to have my teeth cleaned every 4-5 months and my past dentists would look at my gum "pockets" with the metal tool to assess their pocket "depth" and give it a number ONCE A YEAR at my request. Past dentists were OK with me deciding this for myself. Having these meridians manipulated with a metal "dagger" more than once a year sent me through the roof. So, Every tooth has a corresponding meridian in our energy body, and is related to a specific organ, so if you are ill, get the meridian tooth chart, and see if you could have an infection in the corresponding tooth meridian. (Example: For Heart issues look at, Tooth #1, 16, 17, 32) If you see an acupunturist for health, or an EPFX energy practitioner, they will understand this way energetically working with your body. For me, this practice of measuring my gums is OK once a year, but NOT every time I come to have my teeth cleaned. I asked the hygenist (Megan, who is new) to SKIP it this time for my cleaning (a few days ago) and she refused, (after asking three times, and never having her ask me why this was SO important) saying over and over, "it's part of their OFFICE PROTOCOL " to help me have healthy teeth. Yes, she was doing her job, and her office rules, but LISTEN TO YOUR PATIENTS about their needs, is all I'm asking. I have healthy teeth, because I have them cleaned 3-4 times a year, and it is MY BODY, so LET ME CHOOSE. Unfortunately, his practice DOES NOT ALLOW the client to have control of their body. The staff there is very professional, but unfortunately, can't accomodate someone who wants to be in charge of their own dental health decisions. Otherwise, if you are a normal type of client, this is a good place to go. read more

Whenever I've had appointments at Dr. Stellpflug's office, I am whisked from the waiting room to the procedure room in a very timely manner. This is a matter of simple courtesy but is not, in my experience, typical of medical offices with which I have been associated over the years. There is a very positive buzz among the staff members in Chris' office, suggesting good morale exists there. After recent procedures, Chris called me later in the afternoon of the same day, inquiring as to my condition. This care and concern is a first for me and I appreciate his personal attention to my oral health issues. Dr. Stellpflug runs a great shop and I recommend him without reservation. read more

Dr. Stellpflug and his staff do an exceptional job and truly care about their patients. I have been going here for years and had numerous complicated dental procedures and they have always made me feel at ease. I highly recommend them to all of my family and friends. read more

Not just the best in the Central Coast but the best dentist I've ever been to, period. Chris cares about his patients and his staff is considerate and friendly. He invests in the latest technology so you really feel like you're getting the best care available. Plus they take my insurance! Our whole family goes to him and every visit they return with a smile. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Stellpflug's back when he was in Merced, CA. He is such a good dentist I take my family and we head to Pismo to have our teeth worked on now that he has moved. Not to mention it gives us a reason to visit Pismo! I'm a health care professional my self, and I feel very strongly that Dr. Stellpflug is one of the brightest and most competent dentists I've come across. It does not hurt that he is extremely personable and has a great sense of humor. The staff he has in this office is friendly and helpful. If you are in Pismo and need a dentist, I would highly recommend Dr. Stellpflug. Heck, if you're within a reasonable drive away and need a dentist, I'd recommend Dr. Stellpflug! read more

Speaking for my whole family, we love Dr. Stellpflug and his entire office staff! The front office (Karen) is very helpful with scheduling appointments especially with our two sons who live out of the area. We love Kathleen who has cleaned the teeth of all four of us for years. She is very gentle and thorough. Dr. Stellpflug is very patient, kind, and caring. He really takes the time to explain everything to you. Three of us have had various procedures done, and couldn't be happier with the care and follow up we received. The Doctor is also very careful who he refers to and we had an excellent experience when my son had his wisdom teeth out. I have the highest of praise for this office, and always feel welcomed there! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Stellpflug. He is an excellent dentist. He gives care and time to his patients to ensure he is meeting your needs. His staff is also wonderful! read more

Dr. Stellpflug has been my dentist (and my 10 yr old daughter's) for the past 6 years. I wouldn't go to anyone else. He is honest, straight-forward, and meticulous with his work. My procedures with him have been painless, and the results long-lasting and aesthetically beautiful. I love his hygienists and office staff, too. This is THE BEST dental practice on the Central Coast!! read more

Today was my first appointment with this amazing doctor! The story as to how I ended up becoming a patient of his is a little long, I am orginally from Merced (where the doctor is orginally from) I recently relocated to the coast and I was seen by a practice in Paso who gave me a estimate of over 6000 dollars worth of dental work...strange since my dentist from back home who has seen me for about 20 years never saw any of the issues they have claimed. Any ways called my old dentist for a referral and he guided me to Doctor Stellpflug, I called the office and they began to work with me and my schedule right away the amazing woman Karen up front went out of her way to contact the place I had been to before and was in contact with me right away. Skip forward to appointment day and I honestly don't think I could be any happier. Doctor Stellpflug was so kind and respectful he examined me and reviewed my xrays with me and told me in his opinion I didn't have any work that needed to be done! So comforting to find a nice respectable Doctor! I live all the way in Atascadero and I will be happy to drive down to Pismo to see the amazing Doctor and his staff! read more

Dr. Chris Stellpflug and his staff run an excellent dental practice. He is highly competent and his staff is extremely personable. His facilities are spotlessly clean and professional. I would highly recommend Dr. Stellpflug and his staff if you are looking for friendly, clean, and professional dental services. read more
