No-nonsense, "get 'er done" dentistry you can trust Dr. Jeff Sholer is friendly, straightforward, and refreshingly pressure-free. You get the feeling he's genuinely there to keep an eye on things--not to upsell or push treatments. He doesn't even push teeth whitening (which I actually do need!), and that honesty goes a long way. Flawless front office & smooth logistics The scheduling team is always friendly, scheduling is never an issue, and billing has never been a problem. It's one of those rare offices where everything just works seamlessly, every time. Outstanding hygienists (shoutout to Kayla!) Every hygienist I've seen has been great--friendly, efficient, and professional. Kayla is my favorite: she's fantastic at what she does and isn't afraid to give a little tough love when I need to hear that I should floss more Highly recommend this practice if you want excellent care without the nonsense. read more

For me today was a regular trip to the dentist office (where I got mad props for brushing and flossing!!) woot! But for my two year-old son, it was his first time ever seeing a dental chair. Doctor Scholer's office is a friendly kind loving place where our family has gone for dental care for well over 10 years. Today we had the opportunity to bring our two year-old so that he could get acclimated to the experience and I have to say, our two-year-old does not warm up to people very quickly. He was friends with everyone in Doctor Scholer's office from the minute we walked in the door! From our favorite reception peeps to our favorite dental hygienist (she sees our whole family even granny) to Doctor Scholer himself. Our son was saying hi and given high-fives and just enjoying his whole time at the dentist today! AMAZING! We plan on taking him to a few more appointments to acclimate him to the experience, but I'm sure after today it will be a lot easier to get a two year-old to brush his teeth. -that toy chest and red toothbrush sealed the deal! Thanks so much to Doctor Scholer and his team for all they do and being so supportive to our family over the years. I can't recommend Dr. Jeff Scholers practice enough!! read more

Jeff Sholer, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - San Jose, California

I needed an emergency crown due to a cracked tooth; as my regular dentist was too far away for me to do the temporary and the final crown on separate days. A dear friend recommended me to Dr. Sholer because he can do a crown in one day. The fact that he's just a few minutes from my house is a bonus. I appreciated dr. sholar's team moving fast and squeezing me in when I was on my to a trip. When I said I was willing to take cancellations, they got me in even faster. The next day, I was surprised at how naturl the crown felt, and how little pain I had. I didn't need more than a couple of advil the day of the procedure. Dr. Sholer is cautious and thorough; exactly what you want in a dentist. I was with my previous dentist for over 20 years; but I am extraordinarily grateful I received the quality care that I did from Dr. Sholer. read more

Carla Carrillo was fantastic in cleaning my teeth today. Super friendly and gentle. Quick check in with Dr. Min and I'm out within 35 minutes. read more

Kristi is great! Always attentive and makes each appointment very comfortable You're the best Kristi! read more

The experiences are always fantastic.. I even got a prize when i was done! Great staff, polite, professional and welcoming every time! read more

I'm an older man who has always had dental problems. The care given me was above and beyond what I expected. The time spent to correct my problems was unexpected. Many thanks to Dr Sholer and entire staff. I was embarrassed and made to felt at ease. Thank you for all the attention given to me. read more

I've been going to Jeff Sholer for a year. Well, I mean his office, not him personally. My dentist is Dr. Min. As an adult I've been to 4 dentists. I mean, I have been a patient of 4 dentists, not that I've only been 4 times. I go twice a year like everyone with insurance does. And to be honest I'd go more if it was allowed, because I like the dentist. Your teeth feel nice and clean, and that rush from being told you're flossing well... so satisfying. And how many adult activities actually come with a goody bag at the end? Anyway, they always measure gum depth, chart your progress, do annual x-rays, and have a very comfortable waiting room. It actually reminds me of a living room, which is odd because the decor inside the actual exam rooms is more like standard dentist decor. They always have music playing, which is nice. Probably covers up the sounds of less-skilled flossers getting drilled. So far, I only have positive things to say. I get the feeling that Dr. Min, and maybe even the eerily absent Dr. Sholer, care about my oral health and have all the tools and know-how to do so for the long term. read more

I recently visited Dr. Sholer and his amazing team for an emergency appointment after I cracked a front tooth. I found them through my company's benefits portal as an in-network provider and chose their office based on location. I called on a Wednesday, explained my situation, and was impressed when they managed to schedule me for the very next day. From the moment I walked into the office, I was greeted warmly and immediately put at ease by the calming atmosphere and friendly staff. After a brief wait, I was taken back for an exam, where the technician kindly took the necessary X-rays for Dr. Sholer to review. Dr. Sholer greeted me with a handshake and carefully examined the damaged tooth. He thoroughly explained my options, and despite my initial fears, his calm and clear communication made me feel much more comfortable. Because my front tooth was severely damaged, Dr. Sholer recommended an extraction. His team quickly arranged an appointment with a dental surgeon in the same building, and within an hour, the tooth was extracted. After the extraction, I returned downstairs, where a amazingly talented technician fitted me with a temporary bridge. Her attention to detail was incredible, and after a few adjustments, you could hardly tell I had just lost a tooth. What could have been a stressful and unfortunate situation was handled so efficiently and compassionately that the entire process took just over two hours. Dr. Sholer and his team showed genuine care throughout my visit, turning a difficult experience into one that was surprisingly smooth and reassuring. I still have a few more visits until my permanent bridge is ready, but I'm actually looking forward to returning. I feel fortunate to have found a dentist who not only provides excellent care but also takes the time to ease fears and ensure that I can smile confidently again. I wish I had the specific names of of the people that helped my that day to personally say thank you. Front office staff, X-Ray tech, the awesome lady that created the bridge and Dr. Sholer...Thank you all ! read more

Dr. Sholer and his staff are wonderful!! They are always kind, on time, patient and professional. They are great with kids and explain everything to them before they do it. My kids love going to the dentist now! Highly recommend. read more

I've been coming to this office since 2012 so just over 10 years now. I would say that's a pretty good track record and provides me with enough experience to write an in depth review. I've always been impressed with the professionalism and care of all the team members here. You can tell that the people here enjoy their job and that is evident in their interactions. If you watch Dr. Sholer's video, what he says rings true. He's always been transparent about educating you on your options for your dental care and Danielle and Sharlene have always been super helpful at handling the insurance side of things. There's also been options to pay in full or create a payment plan which I've always appreciated at different moments in my life. I've had routine cleanings, X-rays, a crown, a broke tooth, and I'm currently doing my Invisalign treatment with this office. When both my husband and I chipped our teeth on separate occasions during the height of the pandemic, this office was so quick at getting us in within 48 hours to help remedy the problem! Not only have we had a great experience as adults, we have since added 3 kiddos to our family and our 4 year old and 2 year old now get their dental care here too! They are so great with the kids! My children have never been afraid to go to the dentist ! Despite moving to different locations all over the South Bay, we've kept our loyalty to this office even when it meant a further drive! Thank you to the team here! If you're on the fence, give them a call! read more

Dr Jeff and his team are the best dentists I've seen. At 77 years old I've seen a few dentists. They are always pleasant and caring. The experience of seeing the dentist is not always met with great enthusiasm, but they have the latest techniques and equipment that helps me feel I'm in good hands. read more

Dr. Sholer and his staff are better than the best! They are professional, transparent, flexible, accommodating and just outright lovely human beings. Dr. Sholer himself is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, patient, thorough and honest. His front desk staff is priceless!!! (Sharlene and Danielle, wow, just wow! Your personal touch service is unmatched). Last year I moved nearly 2 hrs away to Tracy and have a serious trek to make when I need to visit this practice, but they are worth the drive. That is a testament to how serious I am about my loyalty to this team. Thank you for all that you do! read more

Absolutely the best dentist experience I've ever had. Everything from cleanings, to fillings, have always been a nightmare, until Dr Sholer and his team. They are patient and answer any questions, while being extremely professional and doing fantastic work. I can't express how thankful I am to them during my last filling. The experience was smooth and they respected my time by doing solid work and walking me through each and every detail in a fairly convenient time. read more

I wish I could give Dr. Sholer and his crew more than five stars. Prior to coming to this office I had the worst luck with dentists. They were either too harsh, too rude or not knowledgeable enough. After finding this office I actually enjoy coming to the dentist! The front office staff is always very friendly and accommodating. Very easy to communicate with and their system is top notch. So far every hygienist has been very good. Friendly and efficient. Andrea is the absolute BEST. She worked with me on my Invisalign and my teeth whitening procedures. She is a pro when working on my teeth. Very knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease. Dr. Sholer is by far the best dentist I've ever had. Always patient and understanding when it comes to explaining procedures and making sure I am happy with my smile. Anytime he works on my teeth I always feel comfortable and it seems to be with ease, unlike other places I have been. read more

BEST DENTIST EVER!!!!! Doctor Sholer is the best dentist I have ever seen, and in my case, a great Orthodontist, as well. I came to Dr. Sholer 3.5 years ago in hopes of correcting my smile with Invisalign. He attentively listened to what I was looking for, and suggested a few options. We were able to choose the option that worked for both of us, and over the following 15 months him and his office worked with me on correcting my crooked teeth. Anyone who has dealt with Invisalign knows that not everything goes according to plan, and that adjustments often times need to be made. Dr. Sholer has always found the time to schedule last-minute appointments (for buttons readjustment), and tirelessly worked with me and Invisalign to make sure we straighten my teeth to the desired outcome. The office staff (Sharlene and Danielle) are the best at communicating the appointments. The medical staff ( Andrea, in particular) are sooo professional, and very good at their job. Ivan is a great hygienist. I never once had to wait more than 5 minutes for my appointment - that is almost unheard of in medical world, sadly though... Not only did Dr.Sholer give me a great smile as an Orthodontist, he is also the best dentist, as he would never offer/suggest you a service you do not need. I continue seeing Dr. Sholer once a year for a check-up, and when I get my bi-annual teeth cleaning, he always stops by to look at the X-Rays and see if everything is OK. He is very honest, friendly, and always very attentive. He listens to the concerns, and always provides treatment options. I love the flexibility of the office to always squeeze me in, in case of an emergency. I broke my permanent retainer, right before 4th of July Holiday, and the team was able to schedule my appointment right away, and provide me with a new retainer the next day. Dr.Sholer is truly as great as these Yelp reviews describe him. I recommend him to everyone in the San Jose area. The dentist you can trust. Dr. Sholer helped me regain the confidence with my beautiful, perfect, and healthy smile! read more

Jeff Sholer, DDS - Before and After. Corrected an overbite, bottom and front teeth overcrowding - General Dentistry Near Me - San Jose, California

This dentist is very unscrupulous and unethical. His office didn't provide my son with a treatment plan and estimate of out-of-pocket expenses. Instead they just told him that he needs 13 fillings and just went ahead and scheduled appointment and happily filled right away without prioritizing and without providing options to delay treatment which is not required immediately. As he is a young adult he didn't realize that he could differ some fillings for a few months and take care of them in the next calendar year to reduce his out-of-pocket expense. They just front loaded all possible treatment. I had to help him pay for the treatment. I tried to explain them, but they refuse to listen and just want $$$. Stay away from the vultures!!! read more

I went to see Dr. Sholer for a second opinion consultation about a week ago. He is extremely patient and kind. He explained in detail all the options I can consider in terms of my mouthful of teeth issues, answered all my questions and concerns... His assistant is nice too. Danielle at the front desk kindly prepared a PDF file with a detailed list of dental works that I need to do and price info in phases. Very professional and kind dental office overall. I really appreciate it! Thank you so much! read more

Best dentist in the bay area. Very patience with all the patients. You get good treatment. Staff is also very supportive.

Great staff, caring dr, and makes the patients fe very comfortable. The staff is very accommodating and friendly.

I recently went for my son's first check up and I was more scared and nervous than him..lol . The entire process was so smooth and friendly. My son left the clinic smiling and said I want to come back again. The doctor and the staff are very friendly and very comforting. Thank you for the great experience Dr. Sholer read more

Jeff Sholer, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - San Jose, California

I had gone too long between visits to a dentist. Jeff (and his team) removed tartar from a tooth that was causing swollen gums, examined a fracture in a tooth, and put on a temporary crown (for the fractured tooth). After 2 weeks of proof that my mouth situation had been fixed, Jeff and his team replaced the temporary crown with a permanent one - all the while taking extra care that the temp and perm crowns fit just right. Perfectly happy with the care I received. Would 100% recommend to anyone. read more

This was my second visit with Dr. Sholer's and I'm going to keep his 5 star review record going. Him and his staff are very attentive and personable. I wasn't sure if the reviews were bribed, because I've had that done at a previous office. Now I understand why his office reviews are so high. They're patient care is incomparable to other offices I've visited. My first visit was for a cleaning. It was my first visit to a dental office in 3 years. I've had pretty bad experiences in the past with finding a dentist I feel comfortable with. (So please don't judge me too harsh :) All of his staff were very friendly and welcoming. My dental hygienist was Lady and she's awesome!! Hope you have the same experience. read more

I love Dr Sholer and his staff is awesome. Whether it is a teeth cleaning, a cap or xrays, everything they do is done with care and precision. They are very friendly and laid back. It is a quieter office with comfortable chairs and it smells good in there. I love coming to see the dentist and getting my teeth cleaned. They give me some toothpaste and floss in a little bag and it makes me feel special and cool and lucky to have them for my dental care. :))) read more

The best dentist ever! I have been going to Dr Sholar since 2016, despite of moving to Dublin, I continued to go to him as he really is the best. Not only would he recommend the best treatment option for your tooth but the way he does it is awesome too. Very professional and thorough. Wouldn't unnecessarily rip you off. Once, my husband suddenly had tooth pain at 8 30 pm, and we had next morning's flight to Hawaii, we thought we would have to cancel our trip because of his pain, but we just took our chances and called Dr Sholar and left a VM, mentioned its an emergency and to my absolute surprise, he called us back at 11 pm, and asked my husband to come in next day at 7 30 am, before all his other patients. He performed an emergency Root canal and we were able to go on our trip. None of the dentists I have seen would be kind enough to accommodate a patient at the end moment. We are so grateful to him. He would not ever unnecessarily rip you off like other dentists. Would 100% recommend him to everyone. read more

I've been coming to Dr Sholer for a few years now and his whole team is great! The receptionists are always so sweet and welcoming the lobby is so cute (especially when they decorate for every holiday!). Dr Sholer is always very nice and gets you in and out quickly. I want to shout out Gabby, she helped out with my fillings today and she was outstanding! So accommodating and friendly and she said it was only her second day. I love knowing that every time I come I will be taken care of well with friendly people, it makes a not so pleasant experience a lot better :) read more

They have an excellent customer service, they always provide me with the cost upfront! Prices are reasonable

Great dentist, really good and friendly staff. Go out of their way to be helpful. Highly recommend.

My kids, husband and I have been patients of Dr Sholer's for nearly 6 years. In that time, not once have we had anything less than a 5 star experience. From the front office team to the hygienists to Dr Sholer himself, they are the best at what they do. Could not possibly ask for more from a dentist/dental office. read more

A dentist should inspire confidence in his patients, and thats exactly how Dr Sholer earned my reverence. I feel completely taken care of in his office, I trust him with my dental care, my families, and I highly recommend him. I walked in with an emergency; I had an infected broken tooth, which was causing me a lot of pain. My situation was challenging for Dr Sholer from several angles. A) i dont do pain medicine, at all B) i have adverse reactions to certain anesthetics C) i had very bad dental experiences in the past D) i hadnt seen a dds for about 10 years E) my face was swelled to 3x the its normal size F) his office was booked solid And sparing many details, i want to talk about a few stand-outs: he was totally straightforward about the price and the services, he didnt give me any, "well, we dont know for sure..." b.s, he gave me a 10% discount for being a cash-client, although he didnt have the time to do a lengthy consultation: he did, upon drilling he stopped to check his work with an x-ray THREE TIMES, he was not satisfied with any of his work until it was as perfect as he could make it Patient, caring, professional team led by a world-class DDS thank you Dr Sholer read more

I had another wonderful experience. I drive from Carmel Valley because the exceptional care I receive is absolutely amazing. I feel like part of the family here every time I step in the office . The true customer care I receive from Dr Scholer and his staff is some of the best customer service I've ever had . I will continue to come to his office for years to come . Thank you all again, have a wonderful holiday season from my family to yours Sincerely , Doug Carey read more

Went today and am TOTALLY impressed! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Sholer's office. The front office gal was soooo sweet and kind. I felt comfortable and welcomed the minute I walked in. Now, here is a BIG note here: this is my first dentist change in..... 26 years. Yes, 26 years. I had the same dentist until now. I moved dentists because, well, I don't live in Morgan Hill anymore and haven't for years... it is a pain to get down there! It was kind of a big deal to go to a new dentist and have someone new look at my mouth. I've never been afraid of the dentist but I don't like change.... So I am very very happy to have found Dr. Sholer and his staff. I left feeling like I had someone really who cared about my teeth, wasn't trying to make me do more than needed, and my teeth just felt wonderful when I left! I have senstitive teeth and I usually am sore after a cleaning and that was not the case today at all!!! I don't know what else to say, Dr. Sholer and his staff are great! read more

OMG!!! By far the best dental office I have ever been to... I am terrified of the dentist. I haven't been in years, but know if I want to keep my teeth in my face I needed to go. Dr. Sholer was referred to me by my sister. So I thought I would give them a try. When I called to make my first appointment, I don't remember her name, but when I explained to her my fears, she reassured me that they would do whatever it took to make me comfortable. Got me in within a week. It was just for an exam and X-rays and I was still a nervous wreck. I almost canceled. Glad I didn't. Dr. Sholer and his staff, I feel went out their way to make me feel comfortable. Very empathetic about how I was feel and listen to all my concerns. He made a care plan for me that was very doable. I had my first deep cleaning today and was so nervous, but again I don't remember the young mans name, but he was Awesome!!! I was freaking out, but he took his time, talked me through everything, kept making sure I was cool every step of the way. Still not overly excited to go to the dentist, but knowing I'm in good hands here at Dr. Sholer's office, I'm good!!! Oh yeah and the music they play helped a lot too, I was singing and dancing in my head... lol read more

Dr Sholer is the BEST dentist for redheads. I'm a redhead with the MC1R gene mutation. That means normal dental medication doesn't work on me. Imagine dental work with no numbing! My past interactions with dentists left me filled with pain and traumatized. I avoided the dentist for years. Dr Sholer sat down with me and talked about dental strategies. He worked out a plan to fix my teeth. He gave my body extra time to absorb the drugs and kept checking with me to make sure I felt no pain. My teeth are now fixed and healthy! read more

I have grown up HATING the dentist... that was until I found Dr. Jeff Sholer and his office of FANTASTIC dental hygienists!!! Honestly, I have never been happier since finding this office! From the hygienists to the admins in the front office, all the way up the ladder to Jeff himself, this place is the best! Everyone here really cares about you and they know each of their clients, talk about a personal touch! Not to mention how great and thorough they are with teeth cleanings, x-rays, and other procedures. Hate hearing a drill during your cavity fill? No worries, bring your iPod and let Jeff and his skilled team take you in their BEYOND CAPABLE hands and before you know if you will be out of the chair. I have had fillings fall out from other dentists and he has fixed them to look and feel better than ever. I even had my "permanent" retainer pop off and I was able to come in that very day to get it sealed back on! They are very through and will tell you exactly what they are doing in your mouth (if you want) to reduce your fears of what is going on in there! He and his team work with kids too so this is a great place for the whole family! Honestly, I cannot say enough and oddly enough, I look forward to getting my teeth cleaned now! *Note: I know they accept Delta Dental. If you call in, Sharlene will let you know about the other insurance provider they work with. read more

My husband and I had been looking for a new dentist since ours went out of network. We are thankful to have listened to the reviews and found Dr Sholer and his wonderful staff! Everyone is SO nice, welcoming, and on top of everything. Dr Sholer is obviously great at what he does and explains everything in detail. We appreciate Dr Sholer and his staff!! read more

I'm a new patient providing my experience. Dr. Sholer spotted a hard to see issue where my old filling chipped. In a followup, he fixed it in record time -- I was in an out in 25 minutes. It was epic. And the staff are skilled and super polite. Can't ask for more! read more

He got the job done expertly and with kindness and care. Many of my teeth are worn out and he replaced the fillings that kept chipping off.

This is a great dental office. My son goes here and every appointment has been great. The office is incredibly organized, they are all very friendly and helpful. It's clean, easy to find, and parking is easy. I appreciate the fun office decorations they put up too. It's fun and a nice experience overall. Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Scholer is an incredible dentist, he's knowledgeable, kind, positive and does a great job letting you know what's going on and keeping you at ease throughout the visit. He does great work, I've never been disappointed and I have terrible teeth so I'm there often. The front office staff are amazing. They're so sweet & check in about life and kids. The assistants are all great and friendly as well! Love this place! read more
