My family and I have been going to David for over 30 years. We all highly recommend him and his staff. We always get great care with a warm since of care and family. I look forward to seeing him. That says a lot. They are the best! read more

Dr.Hughes and the staff are the best in town. Very satisfied with the hygienist, Jackie who is thorough, kind and gentle. They provide a warm and welcoming environment which make me feel like home. read more

Greatest dentist of all time, he saved my life. I highly recommend him to everyone. My wife called him and he just got out of the hospital after being there for five days and he took the time to get me back in being good . read more

I have been going to dr. Hughes for over 10 years. He is amazing. He is highly skilled, personable and kind man. He charges fair prices and doesn't take advantage of his patients. And he will definitely squeeze you in if you have an emergency dental situation. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Hughes for... wait for it... 44 years - since 1977. For all that time, I've experienced nothing but absolute professionalism and cleanliness. His staff is very polite. Regular dental care, X-Rays, and emergency repairs have always been carried out quickly, efficiently and expertly. Dr. Hughes himself has an excellent chair-side manner. His technicians are all great at cleaning with a delicate touch. I've watched his equipment and computers constantly evolve, always with the latest technology. As an example, I bit into a piece of improperly washed, farm-raised sashimi that contained an aquarium rock which broke my tooth. That afternoon, he scanned my broken tooth with some amazing scanner. Software devised a design for what was missing. I watched in astonishment as a computerized mill carved a cube of really hard replacement material into my personal missing piece. He then glued it in, and my tooth was repaired. I think this took 30 minutes. If you're looking for a friendly professional dentist that handles insurance processing efficiently, you've found him. read more

Why we do business with Dr Hughes... Fast - I timed my son's cleaning today as 20 minutes with no Xray. This coincidentally matches the estimate 20 minute cycle set of the massage chair in the waiting room. I enjoy this little relaxation therapy treatment each time I wait for my kid's visit. Helpful - They go the extra mile. When my son needed wisdom teeth pulled, the ortho doc wrote up orders for top two teeth only. I told the surgeon we wanted all four pulled together, they did not confirm my wishes. I told Linda at Dr Hughes who then got a new order to override the ortho doc order. Another example was when my crown shifted to irradiate my gum, Dr Hughes just filed it down in to fix the problem. No big deal; I could imagine another business making a big Bill deal about it. No oversell - Dr Hughes is focused on health of teeth. I have been to some newer dentists who tries to upsell on cosmetic work which are not covered by insurance. Makes me want to put a sticker on my dental bib that says "no soliciting". Personality - We don't spend too much time together since the dental hygienist does most of the work. But when Dr Hughes comes to verifies the health of teeth, he puts people at rest with his jolly personality; very conversational and funny. I think he would do well in Stand-up comedy. read more

I have been with Dr Hughes for over 35 years. He has always done great work and has always been reasonably priced. I feel he is so good because he loves what he does. His staff has always been very personable and great at dealing with your insurance. He even offers a generic type a plan if you don't have a plan that helps with most of the regular procedures. I love him and I hate going to the dentist. I would rather have a baby then go to the dentist. He makes you leave his office smiling. He is the best! read more

I was helping my brother-in-law, over 80, find a good dentist in Milpitas. He'd recently moved and tried a new dentist who said he needed $10,000 worth of dental work. I told him to get a second opinion. After researching, I felt Dr. Hughes was a good fit for him. He had a wonderful visit with Dr. Hughes, and was impressed with his decency and honesty and reasonable fees. Dr. Hughes told him the work the other dentist suggested was unnecessary, especially for a senior. My brother-in-law was so impressed that he chose Dr. Hughes for his dentist. I have now passed that info on to another relative in San Leandro who also needs a new dentist. These days, good honest dentists like Dr. Hughes are hard to find. read more

Dr David W Hughes and his team is the best. They are very helpful! My wife was in pain with acute pulpitis, seeking help from dentists that perform root canal procedure. Dr Hughes provided immediate treatment by rearranging his tight appointments. By immediate, I mean right away, without asking us to wait many days, let along the fact that back then my wife had not even been his patient before. The root canal was perfectly done and my wife didnt feel any discomfort after the procedure. Moreover, Dr Hughes never proposed any treatment other than what is really needed. We feel so thankful for this. And Dr Hughes is such a fun person~! His assistants are not only very professional, but also very caring, checking with my wife how she felt during treatments. And here, I must give a thumb up to his receptionist. She knows insurance policy through and through. She helped us best use our insurance plan, saving us so much money. All in all, We feel so lucky to have such a great dental office nearby~! read more

I've been going to Dr. Hughes for over 2 years now. He is very knowledgable and recommends treatments only if they are necessary. The staff is very freindly and are very patient when dealing with patients. read more

Chose this place after reading hyped google reviews and experienced the complete opposite. This place is highly overpriced and money-hungry and did not even provide the full split of what cost a simple filler 1000+ dollars. For a root canal, he referred me to a place where was an apprentice and when I reached his office I was the only patient in the room. Going on the same pathways as Hughes tried to overcharge me here as well. Fortunately, I ended up canceling my appointment after hearing their charge. But still ended up paying 200 USD as appointment fees. When I called him like a day before to know how much it will cost and they never gave me a number until I reached there. read more

Dr Hughes has been my dentist for over 30 years, since I was a child. Now he's my son's and husband's dentist too. He's kind, funny, extremely honest, and very communicative. He's also great with children. When my tooth died and I was in a lot of pain, he fit me in after hours to fix it. I've never dreaded the dentist because I trust and enjoy seeing Dr Hughes. He's great at his job. I highly recommend him. read more

Jackie is amazing at her job and is so freaking sweet. I never experience any pain during the cleaning. She's incredibly considerate and gives really thoughtful recommendations! I'm a relatively easy dental patient *fingers crossed* so my interactions with Dr. Hughes are always pleasant and lighthearted. I always look forward to coming here and my routine cleanings. read more

We have been patients for many years. Dr. Hughes and his staff are amazing. His dedication to making your experience the best it can is second to none. He came in the office at 9:00 pm on a Saturday night to check out my 3 year old granddaughter who had got hit in the mouth playing. We can not thank him enough. read more

1. Unfriendly front desk person. 2. Unusual insistence by dentist to use metal crown even when my own preference was ceramic. So what if its inside of the mouth, the customer's choice has to be respected! 3. They refer to other specialists for any involved procedure but insist on doing the first sitting with them (will lose more in insurance) 4. I got a crown done and months later food's still getting stuck so overall quality of work is also not great read more

My wife had been going to Dr. Hughes for many years, and when we were dating I told her I was looking for a better dentist. She recommended hers. My experiences with Dr. Hughes have always been that his office should be the very definition of the term "Family Dentist." He's very personable, his staff is too, he knows what he's doing, and every time my wife had work done we've noticed what care he takes and what pride he has in his work. My teeth have required very little work -- a few fillings needed to be replaced, but I've always felt he was open and honest with me. The one time he had to refer me to an outside oral surgeon, I felt very comfortable with the person he recommended. Highly recommended. I would still be going to him if he took my new employer's insurance. read more

I brought my father-in-law here for a follow-up appointment for a sore tooth. Dr. Hughes took a look and suggested my FIL followup with his original dentist down in LA since he would know the full history, and didn't charge us for the visit. I love it when doctors don't try to maximize the buck, and cares more for the patient's well-being. Thank you, Dr. Hughes! read more

My in-laws were hosting Russian community leaders in the mid-90s. One of the Russian ladies needed to have emergency dental work. Dr. Hughes came to the rescue. The whole family goes to Dr. Hughes. Everyone loves this guy. I was there this morning and he fixed a fractured tooth with no pain in 5 minutes. read more

A-Ha! I guess I don't have to review Dr. David Hughes coz everyone has the same experience as me. But I just want to show my appreciation to Dr. Hughes. He is the best dentist I ever seen. I have TMJ disorder so always have hard time when seeing dentists (can't open mouth wide and long). I also ever experienced some "money-oriented" and not quite skillful dentists. But Dr. Hughes will make you forget all bad experiences and fears from the past. I always recommend friends to see him. If you are the person who doesn't like to visit dentist regularly, try him, you may change your mind. read more

I did a clever thing once...I got doctors near my office. That meant it was quick and easy to go to the doctor's office. Then I moved jobs and that ruined my strategy. Today I work 3 miles from my house and I've changed all my doctors except one. That's right. I drive 40 minutes each way to visit Dr. Hughes and staff. I'm frankly not that loyal to my doctors, but I'm loyal here. Why? 1. He makes me laugh 2. He admits when he makes a mistake and thus can be trusted He also stands behind his work and fixed and refixed until I was happy. 3. You can tell that everyone there really enjoys their jobs. I can't believe I'm saying this but it makes it fun to go there. 4. Did I mention he makes me laugh? read more

Straightforward and honest dentist who cares about your oral wellbeing and won't try to sell you unnecessary services. Dentists like this are very difficult to come by nowadays. Don't go anywhere else. Go to Dr. Hughes read more

Dr. Hughes is hands down the best dentist I've ever visited. My kids enjoy coming here more than going to the barber! He's upbeat & funny, quick with a joke or a deep technical explanation of what we're doing (remember catalysts from organic chem class?). His staff obviously pick up on his style, and are very professional. I'm looking for reasons to go back more often... if only my insurance covered cleanings more than twice a year :) Go. You will not regret it! read more

The state of my teeth when I moved to America were horrible; As time has progressed, Dr Hughes has made huge progress in saving the remaining teeth and turning my oral health from zero to 100. I'm certain if I had seen him before the problems began, he would have made an even bigger impact on my heath. You can't go wrong with this office. read more

My wife and I have been a patient of Dr. Hughes for many years. Dr. Hughes is always very friendly. He works to keep fees down and often recommends cheaper options for treatment. Additionally, he is very accessible for emergency calls. He made a special trip for me to his office early on a Saturday morning when I had a dental emergency before. Dr. Hughes also keeps up on the latest technology, so is able to offer his patients better options for treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Hughes. read more

Finally found a dentist who does not seem like he wants to sell me a used car or some other service. No bill of goods here. Dr. Huges is top notch, honest, and aware of the value of his patient's dollars. Grade A+ work here. Right down the street from my house but I would still travel 30 miles to see him. read more

Great dentist. I had been going to him because my whole family had been going here for years and he is great. I remember one time, I had a toothache and I walked in and he was able to see me and temporarily fix the problem until we could book an appointment for a root canal. I was so scared coming in for the root canal because of all the horror stories, but I didn't feel a thing! Dr. Hughes is great and so is all of his staff. I only changed dentists because my insurance changed. I recommend him! read more

Love Dr. Hughes! Been going to him since the early 90's and he absolutely loves his job! And it shows as he is always friendly and will jump through hoops if you have an emergency. Highly recommend him! read more

He is the best dentist ever I have seen in my life and hopefully he won't never retire ... Not feeling scared, nervous like coming somewhere else before, I enjoy every minute over there.... He is really gentle and sense of human, he's also a kind-hearted.... Highly recommend to everybody... read more

Dr. Hughes is incredibly sweet. My family and my extended family have been going to him for a long time. His staff is always kind and professional. They're very thorough with their jobs here. read more

I normally do not post reviews, but I felt compelled to post one about Dr. Hughes and his team. Growing up I've had my bad run ins with dentists. So when I was first searching for a dentist for my 3 yr old twin daughters I took them to a dentistry who specializes in children. The dentistry had video games, cartoons on tv and little dental chairs. I thought it was a great place! After my daughters were seen for the first time I was at the receptionist desk to make their next appt because they had a cavity each, a door opened up behind the receptionist and I saw a small boy that was in a straight jacket crying while he was being worked on and his mom was at his head wiping his tears away. I took my girls and walked out of that place! My neighbor recommended me to go to Dr. Hughes. It was the best thing I had ever done! My daughters loved him (well as much as you can love a dentist) and I eventually had a son and Dr. Hughes was so patient with him. My son would kick and bite Dr. Hughes and Dr. Hughes never got mad at him. Once my son did not want to be worked on so I was at the reception area rescheduling his appt. When I looked over to see what he was doing he was on Dr. Hughes lap and Dr. Hughes was showing him the different instruments and then working on his mouth at the same time! We have been going to Dr. Hughes now for 20 yrs and he is still the best! I've recommended many of my family members to him and they all say the same thing! I highly recommend Dr. Hughes to everyone who has ever feared the dentist and is looking for a wonderful, compassionate one! read more

I've had some wonderful experiences with my past dentists, but Dr. Hughes definitely takes the cake among all of them. He and his staff are honest, helpful, and highly competent in what they do. I always leave here happily satisfied and wondering who else I can refer to him. read more

My parents come to Dr.Hughes, and brought me growing up. Now i am grown and took my daughter for her first dentist appointment. Dr. Hughes is the best. He is patient, caring and always makes you feel great. I would recommend his office to anyone. read more

Dr. David Hughes is a very nice man. He's patient and takes his time with whatever it is he's tasked to do. I have a small mouth for someone of my age and I'm unable to tolerate great amounts of vibration and pain. He's very kind and patient with me and if I need a break, he's more than willing to work with me. He's very up beat, funny, and tries to help you feel more relaxed with his conversations and random responses to the radio. I highly recommend him. read more

As I was pregnant I just went for a check. He gave me a good explanation for one of my tooth that I believed to a cavity and finally was just a gum setting. He also offered some samples. That great to be able to test the products before using and I will buy some of them. The dentist, Mr Hugues was nice and the staff too. The staff took care of my insurance problem. That is very helpful because I'm from europe and it was the first I used my insurance. read more

Dr. Hughes and his staff is awesome! Great energy and fun environment!

I went to Dr. Hughes for several years. He's very friendly and I trust him. He is conservative with treatments and recommends treatment that will be most cost effective for the patient rather than the treatment that will be most profitable for him. (This is an important quality I have found too many dentists lack.) The only reason I left is because I lost my dental insurance and his prices were a little high. 5 stars if you have insurance. 4 stars if you don't. read more

Dr. Hughes is really good at his job. The BEST dentist I've had ever gone too... Dr. Hughes and his stuff are really fun and they make you feel welcome... I'm glad to have him as my dentist... I REALLY REALLY recommend HIM TO WHO EVER IS LOOKING FOR A dentist... read more

This one star is only because Dr. Hughes is good. The front office staff is crappy. They first told me am all covered for all my treatment and then slapped a huge bill after two months. read more

Dr. Hughes is the best dentist in the area to go to, no exaggeration. It was actually hilarious how he and his receptionist Carol would come to Quickly back when I was working there, so we already had a rapport going (not that you need a previous rapport for them to be super friendly to you). Of course no one likes to go get their teeth cleaned and feel the embarrassment of not having brushed/flossed as often as you were supposed to. But even before getting my teeth cleaned, Dr. H said, "we're just so happy that you're even here. Now you can say it's only been one day since you got your teeth cleaned!" With the biggest smile on his face. Made me feel way better about my experience. Cleaning and x-Rays went well, no cavities. I was thinking I would have Dr. H extract my wisdom teeth in the near future, but he actually encouraged and referred me to proficient oral surgeons where I would pay a lot less out of pocket with my insurance. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually a little excited to go back in 6 months. Please have your whole family do business with Dr. H, you will not be disappointed. read more

Dr. Hughes is a great dentist and the office staff is fun and efficient.
