I went in for my annual checkup & cleaning. I had excellent care as usual! The office employees are always very nice!

I'm a huge baby when it comes to dental work (lots of very bad experiences and a mouth full of fillings) and this is the only place I'll go in town now. They are very understanding and helpful - I've worked with both Dr. Wipf who did two gold crowns and finally figured out why I kept breaking fillings and more recently Dr. Maria and both are great. They are busy, but it's because they are good - such is life! read more

I went to Dr. Wipf to get a prescribed dental device to resolve sleep issues. The doctor seemed very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. However I had problems with the device, and it was never fully implemented. I asked for assistance and got some initial guidance. But there was no followup despite Dr Wipf's office knowing the device didn't work for me. Moreover the office supplied inadequate regular support in implementing the dental device. read more

After x-ray and actual physical exam, she was able to determine that I have a cavity in the front tooth and a chipping that same tooth and also my last back tooth on the bottom that has a bridge attached to it is fail so she's gonna put in for the VA veterans administration For the work I need done. It's taking me a while to get comfortable with a new doctor new staff, but they have a we have really all warmed up and I hope if you need a good dentist and I very pleasant place to go. please try out Dr. Erik whipped in Santa Barbara. read more

Erik S Wipf, DDS - Reception - General Dentistry Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Office is comfortable, clean, equipped with state-of-the-art tech. Staff is friendly, adept, and efficient. Dr Wipf is highly experienced, skilled, and knowledgeable, but, still interested in his clients and down to earth! Hopefully, he is still accepting new patients! read more

Excellent! The highest quality in every respect, coupled with honesty & caring- which is hard to find. Dr. Wipf listens, & he & his amazing, superlative assistants ensure that I am pain-free, my anxiety & fears lessened, just by the gentle way they listen & care.... Dr. Wipf has had the best, devoted & exceptional staff for years - & he quietly donates his time to care for special patients, all of which tells me a lot about his values & the values of his highly professional staff.. I am so fortunate to be a patient, especially because I know I haven't always been an easy one due to past dental trauma. Yes, I'm grateful. read more

So disappointed in the office staff Jen in particular. What I thought was going to be a positive outcome turned into a rude ending and a bad review. My husband and i are back home and looking for a new dentist. I found this dentist office online. A simple question asking if Dr. Maria is accepting new patients, turned into a circus. Apparently, since I don't have a referral from one of her or Dr. Wipf's patients I am not to move forward with the process. This dentist office is exclusively based on referrals ONLY and you have to meet the criteria because as Jen stated they are trying to tend to all their patients. Well, if you have too many, then simply say you are not accepting new patients and the conversation ends! Jen continued to be vague in questioning which I thought was odd and picked up on it. It was a complete turn off and being a native of Santa Barbara, I have NEVER been treated with such bad taste. Their website statement of Hometown Care - not true at least from the start. read more

As a retired Dental Hygienist I have worked with a lot of Dentists. Wish I could have worked for Dr Wipf. My experience with him,his Hygienist Laura & the front office staff have always been pleasant. I never feel rushed & my comfort is always addressed. Lori Vastola read more

Dr. Eric Wiph and his amazing staff have taken care of my Dental care for the last few years. I had a troubling tooth that needed attention and they saw me right away. As a VA patient some hurdles must be jumped through. Dr. Wiph Wiph and his team took care of the hurdles and my tooth was treated. I am Blessed to have such great car from my great Dentist. Thanks so much for your help and support. read more

Great office, amazing staff, and great doctor. Everyone in the office is friendly and very helpful. They always work hard to try to accommodate. We drive over 1.5 hours just to see Dr Wipf and his staff because it's worth it. Dr Wipf is incredibly patient and will take the time to discuss the plan and options with you. He cares and loves what he does. If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would!! read more

I don't know anyone who likes going to the dentist. However if you don't go, it will catch up with you. Enter Doctors Wipf and Sharron. I've been coming here for at least 15 years. Erik is an SB Loc who took over the practice from his dad and has a real appreciation for his clients and the community. He is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and a great dentist, just like his dad. Luke is also an outstanding dentist and has been an awesome addition to the team. His calm demeanor, deep knowledge, and empathetic manner always impress me when he's working on anyone in my family - and we all go here for our dentistry. The office has a great support staff and has adjusted really well to Covid. If your dentist doesn't get 5 stars, you may want to hit these guys up. read more

Erik S Wipf, DDS - Their cute little office is on State Street, a couple blocks below Mission. - General Dentistry Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

If I could give 10 stars I would. After not going to the dentist for an embarrassingly long time, I finally booked an appointment for a new patient check up and cleaning. I was nervous to come in due to my lapse in cleanings, but the team never made me feel bad or uncomfortable. I found the entire team, especially Dr. Fawzy, to be warm and accommodating. No one necessarily likes going to the dentist, but this was definitely the best dental experience I have had. read more

Been a patient for years. Ethical and kind dentist. Wonderful hygienist. Friendly office staff.

As soon as i walked in, the staff gave me a very warm greeting. Dr Wipf took his time and sat down with me to discuss my options. He was patient and very caring. He's an excellent dentist, highly recommend. read more

If I lived in the Santa Barabara area, I would definitely use the dental services of Dr. Wipf`s office and staff because they are always polite/professional, practice safety for the patient, and leave no questions unanswered. For this reason, I come from Paso Robles, about 128 miles away, for their Sleep Well Appliance for sleep apnea, a one of kind product and service that is insurance approved for the whole Central Coast. Not only does it work as demonstrated and advertised, but Dr. Wipf's staff continued the support well over a year after, with only an email or phone call away from a response. Lots of Thanks to Dr. Wipf and Allyss. Cheers and Stay Well read more

Visited Dr. Wipf this morning to have him replace a crown which came off during a water pick event. In the space of 2 hours I walked out of his office with a smart new crown as he has the ability to fashion a crown with a CAD/CAM machine. I was thoroughly impressed not only by Dr Wiff but his assistant and office personnel. Leon S. read more

I interviewed three dentists after my dentist retired and after being taken to the bank by a follow up shyster dentist. Dr. Wipf is heads above any other dentists I have experienced. He is knowledgeable, technologically advanced, and an all around nice guy. His staff is great also. I chipped a tooth and he tried a temporary filling for $35 which after 6 months is still holding up. My last shyster dentist would have sold me a crown. I then had a sore on my gum and an endodontist said it was a fractured tooth requiring being pulled and an implant. Dr. Wipf again suggested a wait and see attitude. The sore is gone, expense averted, so far, so good. The best part of all is Dr. Wipf fitted me with a mouthguard for sleep apnea. It has changed my life. I sleep through the night with maybe one bathroom visit and wake refreshed. No more naps. Best of all, I don't snore at all any more, none, zip, nada. It is just amazing, Dr. Wipf hits his mark every time. I give him 10 stars. read more

We had the same dentist for 13 years before moving back to Santa Barbara. I guess you can say we like to find our "people" and stick with them! So, it was a little nerve-wracking to find a new one for the next decade. We scoured Yelp, asked friends, etc and Dr. Wipf kept coming up. We made an appointment and were AMAZED by the level of organization at this office. Not only was Dr. Wipf incredible (both my husband and I said our exam was far more thorough than with our last dentist), but his entire team is friendly and efficient. They just have it down and you can tell the office culture is solid. Also, as a side note, their Covid policies are 100! Temp checks, they spray their offices several times a day, masks and shields, etc. Grateful! If you can get in, you'll be thrilled with their quality of service. We've already referred them to our friends. Thank you so much! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Wipf's for 23 years. He's a wonderful dentist and has a great 'chairside' manner. I highly recommend him. read more

My family and I have gone to this office for 40 years. Both Dr. Vaughn and now Dr. Erik have provided top professional services. I highly recommend this office. Janet Sandwall read more

My husband and I both have been patients of Dr. Erik Wipf (and previously his father, Dr. Vaughn Wipf) for decades. Dr. Wipf is always friendly as well as extremely professional. His staff also is warm, welcoming, and helpful with any questions. The hygienists are always sensitive to the needs of each patient and show sincere interest in your well being. We feel blessed to be part of the Wipf dental family. read more

I Was having a very bad tooth pain that was causing me to have a massive jaw pain and throbbing . I called in and Dr Sharron was able to fit me into his schedule that day too look at the issue. Dr Sharron was able too take away the pain i was having and fit me in the next day to perform a root canal that took all the pain away. I still need a follow up visit but what a great Dentist he even call me at home that evening just to see how i was doing. Highly recommend Dr Sharron and staff. You Rock! read more

To say I am the world's worst dental patient is a gross understatement. Even during a routine cleaning I tend to devolve into a complete mess of a human being. Dr. Erik Wipf and his staff have consistently gone above and beyond to accommodate my irrational and frantic fear of dentistry. Dr. Wipf and his staff are highly skilled, gentle, and compassionate. I truly could not recommend a dentist's office more highly. read more

Dr. Wipf is as skilled a DDS as there is. Somehow visits here are different, in a good way. I never seem to feel the poke of the needles or uncomfortableness of gagging on a heavy X-ray tray or feel like I'm sitting in someone's grandads 1930's hand me down dentist chair... Awesome awesome staff!! My dental work has held up perfectly for years. read more

I did a sleep study and received a list of 10 dentists to have a dental device for sleep apnea made. Only Eric Wipf, "Sleep Well Dentistry" of Santa Barbara was certified by the American Board of Sleep Medicine (ABDSM) to make this device. Because Erik Wipf was certified, and not just a regular dentist, insurance helped pay for the dental device. For 4 years I have been seeing Erik Wipf and he is always super friendly, extremely knowledgeable and a very talented dentist. The staff is top notch and appointments are always on time which is rare with other dental offices. I highly recommend Erik Wipf for all your dental needs as he is by far the best dentist I have ever known. read more

I'm new to Santa Barbara and I've found my new dentist! I found Dr. Sharron and his staff helpful, clear, and easy to work with. They got me in within a month. Dr. Sharron answered some technical questions in very helpful ways I hadn't heard before. The cleaning seemed thorough (I've had times at other dentists where I've had to point out areas they missed) and my teeth felt and looked great all over when they were done. I'm super happy with my new dentist. read more

Dr. Sharron is awesome and I love that they don't push you to have any procedures like other offices do. They would rather have you fix the problems and make lifestyle changes before you jump to fills, root canals, or other expensive procedures. 10/10 recommend this place over many other dentists in SB. read more

I found Dr. Sharron after moving to Santa Barbara from LA. I procrastinated long enough and finally broke down and found a dentist office locally. I'm certainly not a fan of the dentist but Luke makes it an enjoyable experience. Even after moving to the Valley and having them drop my insurance (Delta Dental), I still go here. I understand the need for going out-of-network on Delta, they basically won't increase their payout rates to correspond with increased service rates over time. In addition to Luke, the rest of the staff is great as well. Always very helpful and kind. The dental hygienists make you feel comfortable and make your teeth sparkle. If you're looking for a dentist in the Santa Barbara area, definitely recommend this practice. read more

Had cleaning yesterday. Always a positive experience. Erik genuinely cares for his patients. Great to see his ageless Mom, Dee, at the front counter. They are the best! read more

Great dentists! The office is clean and comfortable. The staff are nice and courteous. Everything is state of the art. I get a cleaning every 6 months. Never have pain. I would highly recommend! read more

After not being able to close my jaw for almost a week due to a sleep apnea condition, I was referred to Dr Wipf by my internist. He stayed late just to get me in after all of his other appointments and within 15 minutes was able to accurately diagnose and develop a treatment plan. I would highly recommend Dr. Wipf for his expertise, intelligence and thoughtfulness. read more

I'll admit, I suck at flossing and they have to remind me a to make an appointment BUT I do love this office (well as much as you can love the dentist), hands down the best dentist I've ever been to! Dr. Shannon is super nice and knowledgeable, he always takes time to answer my questions which I really appreciate. The offices are very clean, every hygienist has been great and never makes me feel like I'm being lectured. Am I the only one who hates that at dentists/doctors offices? I've had a couple of fillings - they are always done well and aren't too uncomfortable. Overall, always a great experience! Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a friendly and effective dentist. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Sharron for past 3 years and definitely recommend him as a dentist. He takes his time with you, explains things in detail and answers all questions - overall great chairside manner. Most importantly, he is honest and has not tried to sell me on any procedures/products I do not necessarily need. Everyone is friendly. All the hygienists I have been to, have been gentle in their work and do not elicit pain upon cleaning (which cannot be said about every hygienist/dentist). I am moving out of town but otherwise would stay. I am sad to leave a great dental office! I'll have to restart my search for another great dentist elsewhere.... read more

Came at the recommendation of my husband, following a terrible experience with another local dentist. Immediately impacted by the outstanding customer service and general kindness of the staff. All the receptionists took the time out to introduce themselves (and my hygienist reintroduced me again later). Dr. came and introduced himself BEFORE I'd even had my teeth cleaned yet (first time this has ever happened in my experience), asked if i had any concerns etc. I told him about an issue and he checked it out on the spot. I had my teeth cleaned and the hygienist was very nice did a great job. They let me know immediately what they could do about my issue and gave me the run down based on my insurance- a far more reasonable cost than the multi-thousand dollar quote I received at the former office. Another note is how persistent they have been as they have had ongoing issues getting my xrays from the former office. They haven't given up and have left me several messages letting me know they are still on it. So glad I found this practice! read more

Friendly and on time appointments. Nice office staff and super kind dental hygienists. Zero follow through on phone messages (I've never had a message returned). Recommended for low maintenance patients only. read more

From the minute you walk in, it's welcoming and friendly. The office is clean, up to date and comfortable. Dr. Wipf really impressed me with his friendly demeanor and attention to detail. He's knowledgeable and made sure I had a good understanding of what he was talking about. read more

I had a dentist who frequently cancelled appointments or ran late. I asked some friends and they recommended Dr. Wipf and Dr Shannon. Always on time! Have never cancelled on me and I love the staff! I'm well cared for and my concerns are addressed. My permanent retainer broke and they got me in quickly and repaired it. Well run office and great dental work! read more

Drs. Wipf and Sharon's office is great: very professional, friendly, clean, on time, good explanations, up-to-date equipment and great dental care. I have been going there for years and highly recommend them. Margaret Callahan read more

Great care by Dr Wipf! I decided to get a second opinion after Johnson Dental told me I needed $400. unnecessary treatment- so glad to hear they were WRONG. read more

Their procedures to limit covid contamination are outstanding because of the extensive use of UV lights and when cleaning teeth they place a special vacuum near mouth to limit contamination. These are the best dentists i have had an appointment with in fifty years. read more
