First off, the building Dr. Herrera's office is in is beautiful and so relaxing! As soon as you walk in you're greeted by the lovely front desk staff and walk into an immaculately clean waiting room. I got there early and they were able to take me to the room quite fast. I was greeted by Ruth, who was super thorough, informative and sweet! :) Dr. Herrera was also great! I love the new technology they have and how they took both X-rays and photos for my chart. I'll be going back in sept for my cleaning, overall great experience, good location and parking was available! Highly recommend! read more

This is the most impressive dentist and office!! I have been a patient here for a few years and am always amazed by the beautiful and welcoming surroundings, the extremely competent and enthusiastic staff and a dentist who takes great care in not just my teeth but my family's as well. I am sooo picky about dentists but this one is a gem! read more

Been going to Cristina's practice for 4 years and absolutely love it. The staff are extremely efficient and friendly. I have never waited even a minute upon walking in. The desk staff are very friendly as well. The dental work is gentle, but very in depth. I've had my first two crowns ever placed here after many years of not going to the dentist. The process was virtually pain free and very expedient. The crowns are basically printed same day in office and you're set to go. They have a very clean practice as well. It's basically spotless and the staff infection prevention practices are on point (I'm a nurse so always look for this ). Love this dental practice!! read more

Hands down the best experience I've ever had at a dentist! From the moment I walked into the office I could tell it was going to be a great experience. The staff working at the front desk were beyond helpful and the epitome of friendly, professional and accommodating! the hygienists and dental assistants also just being the most friendly and professional I've ever had the pleasure of being serviced by I have historically had major issues with bitewing X-rays (history of bad dentists and anxiety associated with it) and one of the front desk staff had a few tricks she employed to help me and this is the first time I've had a a full set of bitewings with out gagging once! This set the stage for how the remainder of the visit would go! Cristina Herrera herself was a breath of fresh air in dentistry for me, she was gentle and understanding and the most thorough dentist I've ever had the pleasure of being a patient of. She asked questions and performed exploratory procedures I've never experienced. Her knowledge and delivery of that knowledge was second to none as well. The equipment was state of the art and the office was beautiful with a wonderful ambiance, every single thing about this experience was the best I've ever had, right down to the end of visit treatment planning and billing! This is the first time I'm truly looking forward to all of my follow up visits!! THANK YOU to all of the staff and people who made this experience as wonderful as it was!! read more

I am very particular about my doctor's / dentist's etc. Dr. Herrera is the bomb. The most up to date office I have been to. Everything is state of the art. The staff is professional and attentive. The Hygienist is personable and professional. Can't say enough about this practice. read more

Wonderful experience in every respect, staff is extremely professional , accommodating and patient. I recently confused my appt time and they were very nice about it, fit me right in when it was clearly my error. They have an advanced digital 3D X-Ray system in house and their hygienists are also fast, efficient and thorough. Used to dread going to the dentist as I suffer from chronic neck pain due to a cervical fusion before working with Dr Herrera. But not anymore, their chairs are very comfortable and all the staff is experienced with patients with neck issues, does their best to expedite things as they can.. Thank you Dr. Herrera ! read more

Our kid had a tooth removed here a few years ago and a spacer was not placed. This apparently caused their teeth to shift drastically. We are now facing the high cost of braces to correct the problem. read more

My Wife and I have been cared for by Dr. Herrera and her staff for several years. We highly recommend the Dr. and her ability to build and sustain a great team. Whether it's creating new crowns in just over an hour that fit right the first time or finding a way to check out a tooth ache in a day before I go away on a trip, they find a way to be support of customer's needs. The staff are super helpful and the location and facility are really nice and modern. These days it is a real treasure to find highly skilled dental professionals with top notch service. read more

I have been going to Dr Herrera for about six years now and am very happy with the extensive work she has done, she has state of the art equipment so the work is seamless, fast, pain free and comfortable. I recommend her to all of my friends and family. read more

I very highly recommend Cristina Herrera! I went there for the first time a few days ago just for a checkup. I had seen good reviews for her office on Nextdoor and Yelp, and they are right around the corner from my house near Good Samaritan Hospital. I was amazed by the super clean, modern office. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. The exam was the most thorough and detailed I have ever experienced. Their equipment is state-of-the-art and sparkling clean. I also appreciated that she did not try to sell me anything I did not need or talk me into any extra services. Dr. Herrera took the time to answer all my questions in a professional and patient manner. I have found a gem. read more

I write very few reviews on Yelp. But my experience at Dr Herrera's office has been so excellent that I feel compelled to write one now. In particular, I really appreciate how they've given me advice on brushing technique. I wish my past dentists had been as informative! If you're looking for a dentist, would highly recommend. read more

The staff is very knowledgeable, inviting and personable. Going to the dentist can bring some anxiety but everyone was patient, professional and most importantly kind. I'm really happy I chose this dentist office and look forward to y next appointment. :) read more

Dr Herrera is super cool kind funny pretty. I like her. Makes me feel heard n listened to. Knows her stuff explains it well

I have been going to Dr. Herrera's office for a number of years. I find them very caring and competent.

First let me preface by explaining what a horrific experience I had with a previous dentist. So much so that I developed an embarrassingly intense phobia (like legit hand-sweating, tears, full blow anxiety) about the the dentist. I went to Dr. Herrera and she patiently listened to my worries and fears about how much I was scared it was going to hurt again for dental work. She reassured me, and her staff even gave me a blanket and let me take breaks during the procedures. They are honest, kind, and gentle in everything they do. Their office is SPOTLESS and super modern. I feel like she's up to date with her technology and always uses the top of the line products and procedures on me. I never leave, though, feeling like I was ripped off, or overcharged. It's straightforward pricing, and Kathleen, the office assistant helps me understand and navigate the terribly confusing world of insurance. I drive from Mountain View to Los Gatos just for my appointments because it's totally worth it to me. They text me, email me, smoke signal me reminders of my appointments, and ensure I'm well taken care of post-appointment too. And they gave me a toy from the toybox last time -- I mean, COME ON. Best. Dental Office. Ever. read more

I still can't believe what an incredible experience it's been to be a patient of Dr Herrera and her staff. I thoroughly enjoyed going to the dentist (pause...re-read...still amazing). Staff is professional, so funny and enthusiastic, and incredibly neat down to every detail. The place is almost like a spa. After each appointment I felt relaxed and almost joyful. It is truly always a pleasure and I can't thank Dr Herrera and her staff for a wonderful experience every time. read more

Dr Herrera has now been my dentist (and my parents') for umpteen years---long enough I don't really remember how long now! They have been great with the small stuff like the regular cleaning and the more complex crowning and things. Their staff is awesome. And their new office is, to use the buzzword, "green". As in, they have reduced a lot of the typical paper waste, they use digital imaging (so no X-ray film), and they just completely redid their office with natural materials. Times visited: tons. read more

This office is clean very organized and Dr Herrera and her staff are very courteous and PROFESSIONAL. My wife and I have been going to thisDr. Herrera for over 2 years and have several cleanings, a filling and just yesterday a very complicate procedure that was executed precisely and pain free. I would highly recommend Dr. Herrera. read more

Just started coming here but the staff is super friendly, professional, and in a great area. Definitely one of the best dentist offices I've ever been to. Glad to make this my new office. Not to mention I love the text communication and reminders. Super helpful because I am very busy most of the time. Only good things to say about Dr. Herrera and her staff! read more

As a person terrified of the dentist, I was reluctant to have 3 crowns done at one time. I must say the experience was as good as a dental visit could be. Dr. Herrera was very calming and gentle during all procedures. I would highly recommend her and her competent staff. Also want to say Teri, the hygienist has cleaned our teeth for years and I highly recommend her! read more

When I was growing up I had a great dentist and as a consequence have become very jaded. Having tried a few over the years they have all been found wanting. That was until I found Dr. Herrera. I've finally found a dentist that I feel comfortable with. The service is excellent and the staff super friendly. Another thing that is helpful is that she has the office set up to provide a few nice distractions for when you are having a lot of work done. As other reviewers have said the chairs have built in massagers and there are remote screens that allow you to watch a movie during longer procedures. read more

The visit to Dr. Herrera was awesome! My previous dentist could not see me for 2 weeks to fix my broken tooth that was going to result in a crowne... While looking for a pediatric dentist I came across Dr. Herrera. I called her office and asked many questions, the administrative person was very patient and professional. They were able to see me for a right away!! After my examination and DIgital imaging, she did not recommend a crowne, just a filling!! What a blessing!! So, glad I got a second opinion, because it saved me $400!! I would totally recommend Dr Herrera and her courteous and professional staff! Everything looks; Clean, New, AND I love the massage chairs!!! read more

This office is rad! The staff is friendly, the office is clean, and Dr. Herrera is always on time and awesome!!!!! I would have no reservation in recommending this office to anyone. I love the use of technology in the office, ie; text message reminders, emails, netflix movies in the procedure chair, massage chair, hi-tech dental and xray equipment. Wish I could rate them at TEN STARS!!!!! read more

Dr. Herrera, Teri, and the whole staff here are wonderful people who care about their patients like they are family. I have been a patient for most of my life and will continue to be one as long as I live in the Bay Area. I actually look forward to going to the dentist which I would imagine most people don't find themselves saying :) Thanks for being the best and congrats on recently winning Best Dentist in Metro Silicon Valley! Well deserved. read more

I recently switched my dentist and am usually picky about the quality of service and diligence. I must say that Dr. Herrera and her staff is absolutely the best I have ever seen. The level of diligence and professionalism is extraordinary. While one does need to devote more time for exams in her office, it is for a reason and they are very thorough and is not rush anything. Her staff is absolutely wonderful, right from reception to the hygienists who work with you. Highly recommended. read more

It's the small things that set them apart from other offices. The personal attention, pauses to ensure you are comfortable and push for feedback are signs that they care about your experience. After all, they are providing a service and they seem to understand that. I leave sessions happy I came and looking forward to the next. Yes... this is a review of a dentist office. read more

most important: worse hygienist cleaning I have ever had - so not thorough or conscientious. not too important: receptionist took away the magazine I set down when I paid and would not let me finish the article I had been reading. weird office dynamics read more

Dr. Herrera is the best dentist I have ever had. She is so warm and friendly. In addition, She has the best team. My husband and I are in love with Terri. She is the nicest person and a great Hygienist. Location is super convenient and there is always parking. read more

I went to Dr. Herrera to have a crown replaced after not going to the dentist for three years because of the terrible time I had with getting the crown put in the first time. Unlike my last dentist, Dr. Herrera was patient and gentle, cared about pain management, and best of all, because of her high-tech equipment, I got the crown created and installed in ONE VISIT. No temporary crown!! I recommend her to everyone I know, and now my husband and several of my friends see her too. We all agree she is the best dentist out there, and her assistant Dana, hygienist Terri, and office manager Kathleen are fantastic as well. As if that's not enough, Dr. Herrera also does Invisalign, and after 40 years I can finally smile wide with confidence. I know it sounds weird, but I love my dentist! read more

Christina has been my dentist for a couple of years. I came from another dentist in my area who I liked but caused a root canal from drilling to deep on a cavity so I decided to look for another dentist. I interviewed many different dentists and decided on this practice because it felt very personal but at the same time updated on technology like the tooth robot thing that dispenses teeth (got ta have that). They also work with my insurance company and do a good job to make it easy to know what I owe etc. The best about Christina is she doesn't just come in and 1 minute later tell you whether you have cavities or not. She is patient and answers all your questions which I really respect. She also is truly looking at your whole mouth health in her diagnosis. For example she noticed both a bite and gum issue and referred me out to other specialists to make sure I had access to the latest procedures out there. I actually went with a procedure with another dentist that improved my upper gums immensely. I would never have thought to even consider doing this without the help of Christina. I also think the ladies that do the cleanings are excellent and very thorough and go over and beyond giving you the best info to help you take care of your teeth. If you do end up need fillings Christina knows how to keep you comfortable and explains everything along the way. I normally am always under medicated and with Christina I never have to worry. They also have cool videos and music you can listen to. I love the wildlife ones but it seems to always change. The latest log fire on the monitor I swear is heating me up. Overall you will be happy and feel comfy if you ever choose to work with this nice dentist practice. read more

So far, my daughter is the only one of us that's come here and I will most definitely be bringing her back! She came for a routine cleaning and initial exam. They did LOTS of teaching, which I love! They gave her a cool little "goodie" bag with helpful dental hygiene swag. She's a big baby when it comes to anything remotely uncomfortable and she didn't have one single complaint! It's a miracle, really. read more

Love Dr Herrera and all of the staff! Always courteous, friendly and fun when I visit. They are all very gentle when working on your teeth, so if you have a phobia of the dentist, fear no more! Not only are they easy on your mouth, but they have television screens you can watch while receiving treatment and even massaging chairs! I will continue to refer friends, family and clients to them for great dental care. read more

Dr. Herrera and her staff are simply amazing. First of all, they are all super nice. More importantly, I have super crazy anxiety when it comes to any dental work. Well I had 2 old fillings that needed to be removed and re-done, plus one small cavity that needed attention. On my first visit, she did the standard cleaning which was very quick and painless. She clearly explained everything that needed to be done and showed me photos and everything. On the next visit, she did the 2 teeth on 1 side. Numbed me with a gel first and checked back multiple times to make sure it was numb before moving to injections. I didn't feel a thing. She was efficient with her work and very gentle and continuously checked to make sure I was ok. At the end, based on how numb that side of my face was, she asked if I wanted to get the other side done now or schedule another appointment to do that one. I opted to do it another time so I could still somewhat talk at work. At the last visit, there was only 1 tooth on that side, so it was even faster and easier than the first trip. I couldn't be happier to have found Dr. Herrera. Thank goodness she was actually in my provider network. Thank you Dr. Herrera and everyone there! read more

I have had a few visits with Dr. Herrera now, and have been satisfied and pleased with all of them. Her whole staff are very friendly, helpful, and help put you at ease if you're nervous. Her office is impeccable, with lots of nicely decorated space and individual rooms for all. This is by far the most conservative dentist I've ever been to, or ever heard about. This is a good thing, since you won't leave feeling like unnecessary procedures have been done. Most of all, it was easy for me to see that Dr. Herrera cares about her patients and their health. She educates a lot, gives the most thorough exam I've ever had, gives options regarding procedures, and is friendly and not rushed. Also, I found out I had been flossing wrong for all my life. And it only took all this time for someone to show me! Thank you! read more

Dr. Herrera and her staff are the best. Appointments are always on time. She is thorough, professional and just a neat person. I visit her office about 4 times a year for cleanings and checkups. The reason I mention this is that she has had the same great hygenist, Terri, for the entire time I have been a patient. My prior dentist had different hygenist every time I visited. Good example of how well this office is run. Don't have any fears seeing this dentist. Gentle, understanding and never rushed! read more

I recently had a great experience at the dentist! How many people can say that?! Walking into Dr. Herrera's office is a calming experience in itself. The reception are is nice, clean and just relaxing. The woman at the front desk, Kathleen, is very helpful, knowledgeable and very neat. I have never seen a cleaner workspace. It sets the tone for the entire office. You want to feel like your dentist office is a clean environment, right? Dr. Herrera and her assistant, Dana are very well suited to work together. They are both informative and you feel as though you are in good hands. As Dr. Herrera, is very well versed at explaining what needs to be done and what your options are. She will send in Kathleen to help you with any insurance questions you may have before beginning her work. Kathleen is always ready to give you the information you need. Dr. Herrera is gentle and I feel confident in the work she has done for me. Dana, in her own right is wonderful. She is definitely Dr. Herrera's right hand "man". She knows exactly what is going to be needed for the procedure, is right there with a calming comment when you need it the most. You know, you want to make sure your dentist and assistant are in tune with each other. They almost have to be able to read each other's mind. That is how the two of them work together. My cleanings are also always informative, once again the communication between Dr. and hygentist is very clear. Everyone loves the feeling of clean teeth! I would recommend you give this office a try. It may be the best thing you ever do for your teeth! read more

Dr. Herrera has been our dentist for about 1 year now. My daughters (teenagers) love the staff and the very cool office. Love making an appointment and actually being seen at the scheduled time! read more

Going to the dentist was never my favorite thing but thanks to Dr. Herrera and all of her wonderful staff, I cope very well now. I feel that I am listened to and that my odd traits are honored and respected. I can not stress enough how important that is for individuals and also is something I have not encountered in the past. Terry cleans my teeth rather frequently (due to my bad habits) and I no longer cringe at the very thought. I just think the entire team is wonderful and up-to-date on all the latest things plus how to effectively educate me. read more

Dr. Herrera just became our family dentist within the last year or so, and we are quite pleased with her. She is extremely knowledgeable and thorough, and very pleasant to interact with. Her office staff is also both friendly and efficient. read more

I started with Dr. Herrera after she took over Dr. Sandy Fox's practice. I felt that if Dr. Fox liked her, I would give her a try. Well, I LOVE Dr. Herrera! I have never had a more gentle experience with a dentist. (I am 65+) Like many, I had a lifetime fear of dentists after bad childhood experiences. It's more than just the fact that she has small hands! She hires great people who treat you carefully and well, and has the best appointment reminders with the little stickies!! P.S. ( I love being able to watch videos while my teeth are cleaned.) P.P.S Please give her a try. . .especially for your kids so they don't have such a negative view of trips to the dentist as I did. Incidentally, a dentist once told my 4 year old that if he didn't stop crying, he would tell his mother (me) to go home and leave him there! Needless to say, when I found out I called the dentist on it and never returned. . .dentists with poor social/psychological skills are still out there, but not at Dr. Herrera's office!) Note: I talk a lot when I don't have instruments in my mouth! Sue Atwell, Saratoga read more
