Dr. Ducar is a complete professional. He explains things clearly and makes shure you are aware of all your options. Highly recommended.

Very clear on his explanations and what was in store for me. After now having gone through the implant process, he was spot on. Nothing was a surprise which I can totally appreciates. His staff is very professional - did all the insurance paperwork before I got there - booked the next appts as necessary. Dr. Ducar called me later in the day to see how I'm feeling and I appreciate that. read more

Dr Ducar has done both my dental implants and recently a new dentist said whoever did the implants did an excellent job--one of the implants is in an especially difficult spot to do. Just saw Dr Sharon in Ducar's office for the first time yesterday, and she seems really nice, competent and thorough. She made things easy to understand. read more

Dr. Sharon is very caring and makes you feel at ease, the whole staff are great and pleasant!!

I have been visiting Dr. Ducar for almost 10 years now. Dr. Ducar was highly recommended by one of the head periodontists in the dental community. I am extremely happy with his service and attention to detail. During our meetings he is focused giving me his full attention with excellent evaluations & treatment plans. He stays in touch with my primary General Dentist regarding his treatment and his recommendations. I also receive a copying for my records. Alma at the front desk is friendly & helpful. Krista is my hygienist. She provides excellent service. She is personable which makes me feel very comfortable during my cleaning treatments and does a great job. I highly recommend Dr. Ducar & Krista. Dr. Ducar's practice is a plus to the dental industry & the So Cal community. I look forward to the excellent service they will continue to provide me. Thank you, Derek C read more

I've been in the dental chair for decades due to knocking out my 2 front teeth. Dr. Ducar has been positive force in my ongoing rehabilitation. He's a total professional and excellent at this craft. I would recommend him to anyone needing his dental care. Thanks Doc! read more

I've been going to Dr. Ducar for awhile! Awesome professional, friendly, caring and empathetic! What doctor called you late night after oral surgery to ask how the pain level was or how you're feeling? Well Dr. Ducar does!!! read more

Hello, have been a patient of Ducar and Shepard for over 20 years. They are a great Perio and do wonderful work. Still have my Implant from 2000 - all good. read more

My dentist recommended that I come see Dr Ducar for my receding gum on my two bottom teeth. I brushed too hard and now it's time to fix it. I was really nervous coming here but the dr & staff made it really comfortable. First off they validate their parking. Just make sure you stamp your card, and he takes 7am appointments so you don't miss work or school. He's honest and walks you through all the steps in the procedure. I had trouble with sensitivity in my gums, and I can proudly say I don't anymore. His staff sat with me and went over my care with me, and we even chatted a little about our families until the dr was ready for me. He was honest, and answered all of my questions. He did my gum grafting, and laid out everything I was going to experience. He even called me later in the day to check on me. I felt like him and his office truly cared for my well being. If your freaked out about seeing an oral surgeon fear not with this office. (Trust me I was terrified).They are truly amazing. You get no surprises with these guys. read more

I actually look forward to seeing Dr. Ducar. I've had three teeth pulled and two implants-- stupid teeth! The experience was painless and quick, and Ducar takes the time to explain everything and even draw pictures. He also recommends less expensive options when I have to get services, like a bone scan, that he can't perform. The assistants/techs/office staff there are also very nice and friendly. It's an overall pleasant experience for something I hate that I have to deal with. read more

Always the best! Dr. Ducar and his team are the highest quality professionals. I have been a patient for years and I am always extremely happy with their service. read more

Dr. Ducar is an excellent Periodontist. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs this type of work. Both he and his staff are friendly, caring and very professional. He did a tooth extraction and then an implant and it went flawlessly. He continues to follow up with me to ensure there are no complications. read more

Dr. Ducar was recommended by my highly trusted dentist (Dr. Jones ) to perform oral surgery on my broken back crown root. It is a removal and preperation for future implant procedure, a somewhat complex, but common surgery that takes that 8-10 months to complete, based on it being a two step process. I'm through the 1st phase, extraction, which is the most difficult, and I've been very happy with Dr. Ducar and his staff. Dr. Ducar is very personable, has great chair side manners, and is a consummate professional. The night of my surgery, as I rested at home, I received a considerate call from Dr. Ducar to see how I was doing, which was a nice touch. The office staff is also friendly and professional. I have NO REGRETS on my decision to utilize Dr. Ducar and his staff. The pricing for my surgery is rather expensive, and insurance generally does not cover much, but the price charged by Dr. Ducar is relative to other practices. Don't hesitate to use Ducar & Sheppard DDS, Inc. read more

Dr Ducar is a wonderful periodontist who takes the time to explain all of your options, draws pictures of processes, takes the time to listen, and continually checks in to make sure you're ok during procedures. He takes the time to call you to see how you're doing the evening of every procedure. He is amazing, as is his entire team from the front office to the very talented, kind and informative professional colleagues who assist in the procedures and perform xrays, etc. (Desiree, Christine, all of them). They manage the appointments in such a way that there has never been a wait or delay. Definitely the best experience you could hope for. read more

Just got my second dental implant with Dr. Ducar. Again the support staff are warm and engaging, answered all my questions and eased my concerns. Dr. Ducar explains everything in a friendly way, executes the strategy, and follows up with a phone call. It's much appreciated, thanks everyone! read more

This is by far one of my best dental experiences. I love my general dentist, but I require a specialist due to my problematic teeth. From my first visit I have been impressed with the office, friendly office staff, professionalism and the doctors bedside manner. Dr. Ducar not only explains things in a clear manner, is willing to answer any questions, but also offers his opinion as to the best treatment options for your situation. read more

Dr Ducar is very attentive to details, searches for best not maximum solution, and has very friendly and concerned attitude. Office staff is very responsive and friendly. The office is well equipped and attentive to full implementation of covid rules. read more

I have used Dr. Ducar for several consultations as well as an extraction and implant. I echo the compliments of other reviewers: Dr. Ducar is not only a very capable, professional and thorough practitioner, he is also quite attentive to the needs of each client and carefully explains each procedure he is about to perform, with hand drawn diagrams, as well as all other options. My experience as a dental patient spans over 60 years and over a dozen dentists and I heartily recommend him. read more

This was the best experience I have had. I came to Dr.Sharon in fear of the oral surgery I just had done. She made the whole experience so calming and wonderful. I am on day 2 and still have no pain. Just a little discomfort. Wow! From the horrible pain I was in a month prior to today, please know Dr. Sharon is the only way to go. read more

Dr. Ducar is the most thorough, competent, caring dentist I have ever had. I am a dental chicken & have been treated by many dentists who I felt did not do a good job for me. I was referred to Dr. Ducar for an extraction and three implants. All went very well. Too bad he cannot be my everyday general dentist; he only does specialty dentistry. I highly recommend him. read more

I don't know anyone who likes dental work, to say the least. But Dr. Ducar and his team make the process the best it could be. Professional, easy, efficient. Dr Ducar explains everything so simply and clearly, and his work and bedside manner are first class. I hope I don't have to see them for a long time, but if I do it's nice to know I don't have to worry about the care I'll get. read more

Tricked my wife! Do not trust him. Maxed out my insurance and had to pay $600 out of pocket.

I am very happy with the treatment I received from Dr. Ducar and his staff . Being a complete chicken when it comes to dental work , the idea of an implant did not sit well with me - at all ! Dr. Ducar was extremely patient , explained everything , every step of the way , and did an outstanding job overall . Highly recommended . read more

My primary dentist, whom I trust very much, recommended Dr. Ducar and I can see why! I needed a gum procedure and thought it was going to be unpleasant. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised! At my initial appointment, Dr. Ducar spent the time to thoroughly explain his observations, recommendations and treatment options. Once a plan was decided, he performed the procedure. At that appointment, he explained what he was going to do prior to performing each step. He and his staff were very friendly, efficient and GENTLE (I felt NO pain whatsoever)! I highly recommend Dr. Ducar and his practice! read more
