Had been looking for a new Dentist for some time now. I am very particular and sensitive about my teeth and I hate going to the Dentist but always endured it. Going to Dr. Joseph has been amazing. He recently replaced a crown that broke (installed by my former Dentist). I was amazed by my overall experience. Not only is Dr. Joseph fast he is also kind and very meticulous. I have never been to a Dentist where I didn't even feel the shot they have to give to prep you for work. Even my temporary crown was nice looking and comfortable and the permanent crown is an impeccable, perfect match. I couldn't be more pleased. I can't say enough good things. Even the office staff is incredibly kind and helpful. If you need a Dentist look no further!! read more

Dr. Joseph and Isabel at the front desk are very friendly and engaging. Dr. Joseph provides quality care. He does all the cleaning each 6 months and X-rays each year. read more

He used to be a good one, but towards to retirement he does not care any more and quality decline drastically! I was scheduled to make a filling in the one of the lower tooth. During the procedure, Dr. Joseph damaged next tooth by removing considerable amount of enamel. As a result, the other tooth becomes really sensitive to hot/cold/sweet or even breathing air. This tooth was completely healthy before the visit - no cavity, no sensitivity at all! Now it is my main dental problem! Next day I have to call, made and emergency appointment, request time off, drive to their facility again. And all he did put some medicine to make it less sensitive which didn't really work and told me that this sensation will be a long time and maybe I need a crown! Also, he mentioned that the procedure was complicated because two teeth were crocked together. But he knew that before he even started it (X-Ray) and if he is not capable of fixing complicated cavity without damaging next tooth, he probably has to decline this procedure and let somebody else do it more professionally! read more

I have had a hard time finding a good dentist but now I've found a great one! I absolutely love Dr. Joseph and his front office staff. They are friendly, the office always smells nice and they always have the best oldies music playing. Dr.Joseph is a straight shooter and isn't always trying to upsell services like I have experienced in the past. He's realistic, honest, has a great humor and just an overall great guy with calming but knowledgeable energy, which makes the whole experience very easy for someone who may have anxiety about going to the dentist like I have. Anxiety gone and teeth on point! 10/10 recommend! read more

Joseph M Joseph, D.D.S - Post cleaning smile! - General Dentistry Near Me - Camarillo, California

Finally found an honest dentist near me! I was so relieved not to need deep cleaning a new crown, glad to have this DDS as a resource. He did xrays and a cleaning and it was fast and painless, such a relief! I will refer all my friends here and I plan on using Dr. Joseph as my new dentist going forward. Thank you, also Isabella was very helpful and friendly. read more

The office administrator was personable, polite, and helpful. The office was quiet, clean, and very comfortable. Dr. Joseph was very pleasant, professional, and informative. He spoke straight to the point and offered his unbiased professional recommendations with simple explanations to help me better understand those recommendations from a medical perspective. Having had lifelong anxiety about the dentist, I am very happy to have found him and his staff!! read more

Since my dentist of 30 years retired a couple years ago I've tried two other dentists that were part of those bigger group type offices. My most recent experience with a big office I only saw the actual dentist on the first visit for about 2 min. The last couple cleanings were handled by the hygienist (which is fine with me) but I haven't seen the actual dentist since that first visit... I can already tell that Dr Joseph is going to be my permanent family dentist. He does everything himself and his approach and demeanor remind me of my long term dentist. It's kind of like seeing an old friend that actually knows you and cares about what he's doing. My two teenagers just outgrew their Pedodontist (kid dentist) and both saw Dr Joseph for the first time - both said they liked the experience (hard to get much more out of a teenager, lol) so I decided to spend a few minutes typing this up as I often use reviews myself for things and I think Dr Joseph deserves it! read more

The best Dental office in Ventura County by far! So professional, clean, friendly and punctual too! I appreciate everything about this Dental office. Dr. Joseph is such a thorough, pleasant, honest gem that you will actually look forward to going to the Dentist! Absolutely recommend and I would give a 10 rating if I could! read more

If I could give this dentist a -1 I would. All started with a crown replacement. He did the job, but left a wide gap between the new crown and the next molar, so now every time I eat something gets in there and causes me pain. I returned to get it fixed, but all Dr. Joseph did to fix it was to grind the top one to create some sort of force when biting and then push the crown. Obviously, this didn't work, so here I am on a third visit. What he did this time was to remove the old filling from the good molar next to the crown and extended it to cover the gap!! Well he left me with so much pain for over two months due to sensitivity of the molar due to this procedure. At this point food was still getting stuck between teeth and in pain do to the filling replacement. When I got home from this visit I noticed the molar right above the ones he worked on was broken!!!! so I went back to get it fixed; well, now I was in more pain. After all the rework done and the fact I'm still with the issue, he still charges my insurance for all the bad work he did and on top of that had to pay my out of pocket. Please stay away from this office! read more

I have been going to see Joseph M. Joseph for years, very happy to review him, He is one of the best dentists I've ever had. His knowledge and Workmanship are exceptional. Your smile will be in good hands when you see him. read more

I have been coming here for couple years. The office is very clean and the doctor is very professional. I had my teeth cleaned and my cavity filled. read more

** REPOST from 8/22/13 - PLEASE DO NOT CENSOR REVIEWS AND REMOVE!! The rating criteria for 5 stars is "As Good As It Gets" and that summarizes the care my husband and I have received from Dr. Joseph for nearly 30 years. Unfortunately, there were a few short periods when our insurance forced us to go to "assembly line" dentists and we are still dealing with the results from their poor quality of work. However, those experiences reinforced the level of professionalism, quality of work and compassion we receive from Dr. Joseph. It's evident that it's not only about us being satisfied with his work, but HE has to be as well. We appreciate his honesty when discussing care options, the state-of-the-art equipment, the immaculate office and the fact that he has gone "above and beyond" many times to take care of our dental needs. Isabel, the front office manager, is always kind, willing to answer insurance questions, and very helpful when trying to find appointments to fit our schedules. She is very efficient, organized and returns calls promptly. As a patient who has had extensive dental work and some horrific experiences at the hands of other dentists, I am eternally grateful to Dr. Joseph and the care he has provided. I recommend him every chance I get and dread the day that he decides to retire....which I repeatedly tell him he is not allowed to do! :) Donna (& Danny) Jones read more

Dr. Joseph and Isabelle are fantastic. Dr. Joseph does a fantastic job caring for our teeth. Isabelle is fantastic with billing and working with insurance. The office and always clean and comfortable. read more

We hve been patients of Dr Joseph for over 20 yrs. and really like everything about this office . No matter what the situation we can always get an appointment. Everybody I this office goes out of their way for their patients . YES, going to Dr Joseph is always a pleasant experience . read more

My wife and I have only had one dentist in Camarillo since we moved here in 1982, and it's Dr. Joseph. Previously I had visited dentists that suggested my filings were leaking and that I needed some expensive work to repair them. He checked me out and said that was bad information, my filings were fine. In almost 30 years I have never had anything but regular cleanings done. I joke with him that he is doing such a good job he is never going to make any real money on me. He replies that he is patient and his time will come. In certainly will, but it will likely be quite awhile because of the good care he has given me. Regarding the comments on appointments. Isabel, his assistant is very pleasant and friendly. She always calls the day before the appointment to confirm. I have noticed his waiting room is always empty. It is because he doesn't overbook appointments! Yesterday, he came to get me out of the waiting room when Isabel was checking me in. Come to think of it, I never think to grab a magazine when I'm waiting. So if you confirm the day before and then have to no show, at least make a phone call and let them know something has come up! Those unwilling to provide that common courtesy need to go somewhere else. The rest of us don't want to deal with the overbooking that's necessary when you have only one dentist in the office and you need to keep him busy. read more

Okay let me start off by saying that I'm the biggest baby ever when it comes to the dentist. I've always hated the dentist and probably always will. But when I went in for a check up since my wisdom teeth where bugging me. They where nice and very patience with my nervousness. The receptionist was very nice and dr. Joseph was funny and making me feel less nervous by being there. I also love the fact that it's uber close to my house so that's a bonus! read more

Dr. Joseph is a great dentist. Terrific chair-side(?) manner, and really takes time to explain things. I once asked him about the price for teeth whitening, and his response was to give me the quote but explain that the DIY versions work just as well - I think that's a great testament to his character. I've actually had other dentists try to up-sell me with teeth whitening before. Cleanings are thorough and prompt. Every appointment so far I've spent very little time in the waiting room. It's awesome to have such a small dedicated provider versus going to a large faceless corporate owned dental group. read more

Excellent dentist. I liked how he spent time answering questions and addressing concerns I had. He made genuine recommendations and doesn't just recommend procedures for his profits. It was easy to get an appointment at a short notice. read more

I had a bad experience dealing with this office with insurance issues. The billing office was very hard to deal with and made some condensing unprofessional comments. I will not be taking my family to this dentist any longer due to horrible experience. read more

My whole family has been seeing Dr. Joseph for years now. It's the most pleasant dental experience I have ever had! The office staff is absolutely lovely, and appointments are easy to make! read more

My family and I have been going to him for probably close to 10 years. We have always had a pleasant experience with the dentist and office staff. Appointments are always available and flexible. Highly recommended. read more

I have never been to a dentist that doesn't use a hygienist. Dr Joseph is an excellent dentist that does it all! I never realized that this is probably the best way for a dentist to operate. There is no "middle man", he takes your X Rays and cleans your teeth. Dr Joseph is very caring and patient. I never feel rushed and actually enjoy going to see my dentist. I would recommend him to anyone! read more

Strengths: Trustworthiness and ethical - You can trust hm since he will not do unneeded work or make unnecessary recommendations. Friendly Modern and clean facility - His entire office and equipment was completely remodeled a couple years ago. Digital X-rays, monitors. Root canals - he uses a specialist for root canals rather than doing the procedure himself. Many dentists don't have ample root canal experience and so are more prone to mistake if they do the procedure themselves. He uses a facility that does root canals daily. My wife had a painless experience. Weakness: I wish he had a hygienist, which is the reason why I gave him 4 instead of 5 stars. He does the cleaning. read more

Dr. Joseph has been my dentist for over 25 years. I have always been impressed with the short wait time when I have an appointment. I don't think I have ever waited over five minutes before being treated. Most of my work has been cleanings, but over the years I have also had crowns and one or two fillings. I enjoy the personal touch he ads to each visit. He is always interested in what my family has been doing. All of the work done by Dr. Joseph has been of the highest quality. His office is "state of the art" and his prices have always been in line with what I would expect to pay. I would highly recommend Dr. Joseph to any of my friends with the assurance they will be treated professionally and fairly. read more

Dr. Joseph is an outstanding dentist! He has been our dentist for more than ten years. Our former dentist recommended him. We were told he was outstanding and had the best pair of hands in the business. Dr. Joseph is gentle and does his own work. His office is an artistic work of art. It is not only beautiful but it is spotless. Isabel, his receptionist, has been with him for years. She is kind and pleasant. She always calls to remind you about appointments. There is no long wait time in Dr. Joseph's office. Time is precious and I hate the doctors that make you wait a long time. We have never waited more than five minutes for treatment. Dr. Joseph treated me for two emergencies. I was able to see him right away. I was very upset both times. He was kind and patient. When I fell I thought I would look like fang, but he miraculously repaired my teeth and flawlessly matched color. My husband hasn't had a cavity since he has been his patient. He has the latest equipment and he has never has overcharged. As far as his personal traits, he is empathetic and warm. He is interested in you. My husband and I would never go to anyone else. It is rare you find a medical professional this exceptional! read more

My entire family has been going to Dr. Joseph for just about twenty years now. He is also my parents dentist as well. He is awesome, no matter what the dental problem might be, he makes time for you and gets you in immediately. Isabel has been with him as long as we have been going there. She is just as great! I highly recommend Dr. Joseph as I have yet to find another dentist better. read more

BEST DENTIST EVER!!!!!!! I had the worst experience with my previous dentist, so I was jaded and skeptical when I came to Dr. J. He was patient and kind...listened to my history and the reasons I left my previous dentist. Personalized service. He does the cleaning, xrays, and consultation himself. This was the first time in years I had none of that nervy feeling during cleaning...didnt have to wince once!!! Cannot say enough good things about Dr Joseph! Also accepted my insurance where other offices would not! so appreciative of the time and care he gave me! read more

I've been going here for years. Doctor Joseph and his staff are great! I would definitely refer them to friends and family that would need a dentist. read more

Admittedly, I am not a patient of Dr. Joseph, but my husband WAS. I say was because we will never go back to, or recommend this business due to their office staff. While Dr. Joseph might be a good dentist, he told my husband he needed a new crown in 2011. A pre-treatment plan was submitted to the insurance, they approved it and because of our copay cost, we couldnt not proceed at the time. The past two months have been spent trying to get the lady at their office to resubmit the paperwork to the insurance for the procedure and it came back denied. My husband told her that the insurance said she had to write a letter explaining that it was never done the first time it was approved and the note was very unprofessional and not on letterhead (my husband brough home a copy last week since we asked for it for our files). The treatment was again denied. When I called the insurance, they said that it was being denied becuase the patient did not require that procedure and could have an alternative treatment instead. So either Dr. Joseph is looking to charge more for unnecessary procedures or the insurance is being lame. At this point, I could speculate either way. However, all of that aside, when I spoke to their receptionist this morning, she was nice up until the point I advised that the insurance said to submit a second appeal and to speak to their consultant. That is when she got nasty. The office woman told me that she had "done all I can for you". I politely and calmly asked her if she could submit the 2nd appeal and she replied "I've spent enough time working on this" and "its your insurance that is the problem not us". I asked if she had the name of the person at the insurance company that she spoke with and she huffed and puffed about getting my husbands chart and then said she didnt have a name because it was a long time ago. Obiviously, if you know anything about working with insurance companies, you always document everything! She then topped it off by saying in a very condesending tone "You should have done the procedure when it was approved the first time". To which I replied "So you're saying it's my fault?" And she got totally defensive and repeated "there is nothing more I can do", etc. So, knowing she lacked any desire to help Dr. Josephs patient and being frustrated for her lack of willingness to help (especially since this was my first encounter with her), I said "well, I think it's pretty shitty that you dont want to try for a second appearl and help your patient".... Can you guess how she responded? "well it works both ways sweetheart" and then HUNG UP ON ME!!! Totally unprofessional, downright rude and unacceptable!!! read more

I have been going to Dr. Joseph for about 25 years. He is an expert in his field! His work is top-notched. He honors your appointment time. I don't think I've ever waited more than a couple of minutes. It is so great that he does everything himself: exam, x-rays, cleanings, and all dental work. Because he does his own cleanings he spends more time examining your dental condition. He is very personable and honest. In this modern medical world of big business and long wait times, Dr. Joseph provides a refreshing breath of clean air in the field of dentistry. read more

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Joseph for over 25 years. Going to the dentist is not always a pleasant experience for everyone, but Dr. Joseph is so friendly, knowledgeable, and he puts you at ease, that you almost forget why you're there. His office is immaculate, appointments are easy to make and you never have to wait. Another plus is his receptionist, Isabel. She always greets you with a big smile. She's so nice, helpful and very efficient. They really make a great team! read more

I was so hesitant to have to change dentists but pleasantly surprised by the beautiful office and the staff. Everyone is nice and professional, I was prepared to not get excellent service because I have a pre-paid dental plan, NOT SO! they even confirmed my appointment. The attention I got from Dr. Joseph amazed me, no up and down running between patients, I was his sole focus, his only patient in my time slot. I am so excited to find such a great dentist in Camarillo. He will be my dentist for life now. read more

My wife and I have seen several dentists in the past. Dr. Joseph has been the best by far. We are both very grateful to have a dentist who takes pride in satisfying his patients. His receptionist (Isabella) is an absolute professional. She follows up on everything she promises. She makes sure your insurance provider takes care of their commitments. They are both a pleasure to deal with. Dr. Joseph has performed extensive procedures, both maintenance, and cosmetic, on my wife and I. All of which have been pain free and have held up extremely well. He doesn't try to persuade you to commit to work that is not necessary. I am a huge sissy when it comes to sitting in that chair with someone probing in my mouth with steel instruments. But Dr. Joseph has a way of making you feel very comfortable and confident in his ability to make it a pain free experience! We both have been his patients for over ten years. We even came to him when our insurance coverage changed and our provider didn't have his practice on our list of options. That's how much faith we have in his work. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a very high skilled, professional and friendly dentist. Sincerely, Timmy.... read more

Me and my daughter have been coming to Dr. Joseph for years. In the beginning, I needed a lot of work, root canal, titanium pin, crowns, a bridge, fillings, I had periodontal gum disease. I was in very bad and embarrassing shape. I was quoted an out of pocket expense of thousands of dollars by another Dentist, even with my insurance. They really made it all sound like some horror story. I was very upset and wanted a second opinion. Walked right out of that dentist office and picked up the phone book and found Dr. Joseph, got an appointment the same day. Dr. Joseph did my examination and I will never forget how good he treated me, He said, you do need a lot of work there, but, don't worry, it's no problem, we'll take care of it. He never made me feel embarrassed or ashamed for the condition of my teeth. Plus, my out of pocket expense in the end was less than 1/3 of the other Dentist's estimate. Talk about happy! That was way over 10 years ago, since then I have never had another problem with my dental work. Also, they spent plenty of time teaching me how to take better care of my teeth which has really paid off in the long run. They are very friendly and courteous, easy to make appointments with, always willing to work around my schedule, Isabel returns phone calls very promptly, insurance questions? no problem, Isabel at the front desk always has the answers. One of the coolest thing's about my visits, is the way they schedule appointments, no waiting here! You never even have a chance to read a magazine before they call your name. Oh, by the way no pain, ever! These people are incredible! Thank You Dr Joseph & Staff. Robert L. read more
