If you need ANY type of dental care and live ANYWHERE near this office, head straight to Dr. Pagonis today! She is absolutely amazing and is at the top of her game. She is a complete professional with a warm, open, fun manner that connects you to her immediately. Her entire office staff from front office to chair sides are top notch. I'm a daughter of a retired dentist and trust me when I say this - she is THE BEST!! I could not recommend her highly enough!! read more

The whole office is full of great people, which you'll Be unsurprised by as soon as you meet Dr. P! She's kind, straightforward, and honest. She's never overprescribed any work and is very careful to tell you when she's starting to get worried about a development in your mouth. The one time she made a mistake (in the 10 years we've been seeing her), she told me about it before I could ask and doubly made up for it. Our whole family's been coming here since my kids were babies and, because of her, they've never once been scared of the dentist's office. I can't recommend them enough! read more

I found Dr. Pagonis here on Yelp after moving to the area. There are several reasons why I have genuinely enjoyed my experience with this practice. 1. Clear and efficient communication via text, phone email etc. 2. Dr. Pagonis is completely transparent and straightforward about treatment recommendations. She over communicates (which I appreciate) and helps you really understand the issue. 3. You are sent a statement of what you will be paying prior to your appointment. No surprises here. 4. The staff is very friendly, kind, and thoughtful. I would definitely recommend Dr. Pagonis to anyone who has been underwhelmed with 21st century dental practices. The experience is much better here. :) read more

My experience with Dr. Pagonis and her staff has been all positive: Maximum efficiency and courtesy, minimum discomfort.

I found Dr. Pagonis through my partner who was seeing Dr. Lee Walker for dental implants. We were so impressed with Dr. Walker's care that we were very happy to follow up on his recommendation to see Dr. Pagonis. Dr. Nicole Pagonis brings a warm, caring style to her practice. I was delighted at the joyful atmosphere of her practice. It's clear the staff adores Dr. Pagonis and they work hard to provide exceptional care to patients. After my initial visit, Dr. Pagonis sat down with me and described a full treatment of care. She also explained the life cycle of teeth. From that conversation I understood why treating a cavity early will truly prevent problems down the road. I suffered from trigeminal neuralgia so my left jaw was in severe pain. Both Dr. Pagonis and Amy, the hygienist, made sure I was not getting stressed over any treatment. (I am happy to report after macular decompression surgery at UCSF I am cured of that pain). I feel Dr. Pagonis and her staff take the extra steps to be proactive about dental care and hygiene. That gives me a happy outlook with healthy teeth. read more

Dr. P! She's amazing at what she does, takes so much pride in her work, delivers incredible results, and could moonlight as a stand up comedienne if she wanted to! I was referred to her by a friend and I only wish I found her sooner - I might have saved a tooth if I had! Dr. P is no nonsense and will give you the truth and lay out all your options for you. She never pushes anything on you, just gives you facts and let's you make your own decisions. She's done all my dental work and I couldn't be happier. I'm not a huge fan of having work done on my mouth, but she always has me in the chair cracking up. Most recently Dr. P did two veneers for me and they are beautiful. I have never felt better about my smile! Like I said, she takes incredible pride in the work she does and it sure shows in the results. I included a picture. Bet you can't tell which ones are veneers! :) Additionally, the staff is wonderful. I always am happy when I come in and see Dawn or when she takes my calls. Dawn is a dental insurance whiz and always answers all my questions confidently. She is great at her job, confident with the information she presents, and has a positive and friendly attitude. Javier is also amazing. He, like Dr. P, has great knowledge and always makes me laugh. I inundate him with 50 million questions and he always answers them patiently and confidently. Javier also has a very relaxed personality, which is very calming when you're as high strung as I am. It really helps me keep myself in check (or try to). I highly recommend Dr. P for any and all dental needs. Thanks Dr. P, Dawn, and Javier! read more

Dr. P and the rest of the staff at the office are wonderful. I have been going there for over 10 years and they have always been friendly and professional. They do all my cleaning and x-rays, and they have done a couple crowns and many fillings - everything was always done extremely well. They are always very close to schedule, so you are never sitting in the waiting rooms for too long. I highly recommend going to Nicole Pagonis, DDS read more

Thank you to Nicole and her entire team !! They are truly the best !!! Since finding her and her superb team I have moved away. I continue to drive 1.5 hours to retain her quality service. My adult children also now travel to remain in her care. Quality and Efficiency would be my first words to describe the office. I can not thank you all enough!! read more

Dr. Nicole Pagonis is a dentist that knows what she is doing! She is quick to discern problems and willing to take the extra time involved in making things right! She is very connected with other doctors and surgeon if it is necessary. I highly recommend Dr. Pagonis. She has been my dentist for several years now! Deb read more

I've been a patient with Dr Pagonis for a long time now. I absolutely love her and her amazing staff. As much as most people don't want to go to the dentist she is the best!!! I have never been to another dentist that the whole experience from beginning to end is so welcoming and professional. I always come in and leave smiling. If you are looking for a very knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and friendly dentist and entire staff please make an appointment with Dr Nicole Pagonis. You will be so glad you did. read more

Dr. Pagonis is a very nice woman and a very good dentist. However, be very careful of the book keeping. I found the book keeping folks to very dishonest. Double and triple check your bill. Los Gatos is a good location to take advantage of folks, because some have money to burn. However, if you try to watch your budget as you have other things to pay for, again be very careful. Lastly, when it comes to challenging a business regarding discrepant billing, ultimately you will lose. read more

Yesterday I visited Dr. Pagonis office. I found her on yelp and then double checked if she works with my insurance company. Honestly, it was the best experience I have ever had in dentist's office! Dr. Pagonis was very nice, super friendly, caring and passionate about my health. She spent as much time as it was needed to answer all my questions and explained everything to me, from start to finish. Also, Dr. Pagonis senior assistant, Mandy, was very attentive with my teeth and I didn't feel any pain or discomfort when she did the cleanings. The receptionist who made the appointment was super accommodating and helpful! She found an opening for me just the day after I called the office. I enjoyed everything during my first visit: wonderful team, great location, excellent results. I strongly recommend this dentistry to everyone. read more

My very picky daughter who cherishes her teeth and smile which I have paid thousands for followed Dr Nicole from her previous practice to her new one . She has a dynamite smile from two sets of braces and years of perfect dental work . Loved Dr Pagonis thought she was the best and always raved about her. Me being reluctant to change or do something different ( not broked dont fix it mentality ) wanted a change to something with TLC service still however affordable . The place we went before felt like a lawyers office and was somewhat cold . Finally after hearing me complain so much Taylor talked me into changing . Dr Pagonis is exactly what I was looking for . Professional , bright , caring and very upbeat love that . She is also a WOMAN in a male oriented profession which I even like more . I switched my entire family over to her office which by the way is growing daily and all have the very same positive response :) I have suggested her to other friends and family and typically dont go out on a limb till I feel completely comfortable with personal suggestion. I would strongly suggest anyone looking for a new dentist , better rates , nice friendly office staff to try this office in Los Gatos . You will be pleasantly surprised and your family will love you for it !! Princess Taylor McCann gives this a five star rating also with Mr McCann Lockheed always raving about her !! Cathryn approves :) read more

Dr Pagonis recently replaced 2 of my fillings and did a fantastic job. Being a dentist myself, I am extremely OCD about who works on my teeth. I recently went to another dentist who I know through the community and didn't have such a great experience. The injection was rough. The filling was rushed. Went home and had some significant pain in my jaw that evening. The next day I couldn't chew on that tooth. My patients never seem to have these issues. I ran some of my own tests and knew it would never get better unless I had the filling replaced. I waited about a month to see if it would get better, but it never did as I expected. I couldn't even chew soft foods without pain. I contacted Nicole to see if she would be willing to redo someone else's work, in hopes to bring back my ability to chew with confidence. She worked on me years ago and always did excellent work. She agreed to take care of my issue to my relief. Dentists make the worst patients. Type A, control freaks, with the same anxieties as the average Joe. Her injection was painless, her fillings were meticulously done and I had absolutely no discomfort that evening. The next morning, breakfast was flawless. I was able to chew on my left side for the first time in almost 2 months. Dr Pagonis is highly recommended by all of her patients including myself. Not a normal review as a dentist to recommend another dentist in my community, but I know all dentists aren't created equal. The great ones should be praised. read more

I was already super happy coming to my dentist office and getting to see all the pics of my teeth and get full explanations of what's going on in there, and when I broke my front teeth one night playing racquetball they graciously took me in the very next morning. It's obvious Dr. Pagonis is highly driven, very smart, and wveryone there is very personable. It's like stopping by to see some friends when I come to the dentist. And trust me, I'm not a fan of going to the dentist (is anyone?). This place is a gem. read more

Nicole E Pagonis - The next AM after a racquet to the teeth Doc P. assessed the damage. Pics, x-rays & option to fix broken one right away. - General Dentistry Near Me - Los Gatos, California

Exceptional dentist with high attention to detail! Very high end practice with any newest gadgets in the most uplifting environment. Even kids love it! Hygienists are very detailed and knowledgeable. The ladies in reception are a joy to chat with and they always on top of things!! Well done! Keep it up!!! read more

I wanted to wait to write this review until I had enough to base it on . I've had two crowns and I'm extremely happy with the doc and her work . She's exceptional! I've had bad experiences with other dentist and I'm confident that dr. Pagonis is the pro I've been searching for . Im so happy I found her! read more

I created this account JUST so I could write a review on Dr, Pagonis. I found her through my insurance company and then yelped her, and I am SO glad that I did! I did not read any reviews on the last dentist I went too, and it was a huge disappointment! Dr. Pagonis was caring, nice, super friendly, and very passionate about my well being. She explained everything to me, from start to finish, and came up with a preventative plan for me, instead of what other dentist might do and make you come back and spend a ton of money when it is not needed. Now that is an honest person! Also, I have very sensitive teeth and am always in pain when they do the cleanings. However, this is the first time that the hygienist did not cause me any pain! (I feel horrible that I forget her name, but she was new and very nice as well!) Oh, and the receptionist who made the appointment was super accommodating and helpful! She found a way to squeeze me in before the end of the year, and I am super grateful for that! I have recommended Dr. Pagonis to everyone I know- I even posted about her on my Facebook! But then I decided to post on her so more people could read about how great she is. This team of wonderful people is such a breath of fresh air! read more

Yesterday I took my sons for our first visit to Dr. Pagonis' office. I was very impressed before I even got there. The administrative staff apologized for scheduling me out a little over a month for our cleanings. My last dentist would have taken 6 months to get in, so I thought the schedule was very reasonable. I was especially happy because I get a late afternoon appt. and the boys didn't have to miss much school. Then she called me twice in the weeks following to see if I wanted a sooner appt. available due to cancellations - very thoughtful. When we arrived I had to fill out minimal paperwork, the wait was short, and the two appointments were simultaneous, so we were done pretty quickly. Hygienist Nicole was especially informative and great with kids. Dr. Pagonis took the time to give me helpful advice and explain fully the problems we needed to address. She is personable and never condescending. I am very happy with the new dentist. read more

Nicole is such a great dentist, I fell asleep when she was perfoming treatment on me. Not only is she gentle and caring, she has great enthusiasm and cares about her work. I would highly recommend Nicole! read more

Much to my surprise, last night I chipped a couple teeth (on bread!) during dinner. I am new to the area, so I found Dr. Pagonis based on her Yelp reviews. I called first thing this morning and they were able to get me in ASAP. They were thorough and fast with their verification of my insurance, and they explained the charges to me before they did anything. Dr. Pagonis took the time to explain to my exactly why and what happened. The experience was great! read more

Our family has serious dental fears-- I avoided the dentist for TEN years due to overwhelming anxiety, and my husband is very sensitive to dental pain. With six kids, we knew it was time to set a good example and find a dentist. It is strange and rare to say that a dentist can change a person's life, but Dr. Pagonis's patient, reassuring explanations of not just the dentistry work I needed, but dental anatomy in general (I had been having weekly nightmares for years that my teeth would somehow become loose and just fall out) absolutely ended my long-standing fears of dentistry and dental issues in general. She takes a VERY thorough and gentle approach to educating children about dental care and what will happen when they are receiving dental services. I have been meaning to write a review for some time, but an event this evening reminded me why I needed to write a recommendation for Dr. Pagonis. My eight year old daughter broke a tooth while playing with a friend. Had this event happened before my chats and visits with Dr Pagonis, this would have actually caused me to faint-- my fears were THAT profound. But tonight, I knew that Dr Pagonis would be able to take care of it. We went to the office immediately to be seen on an emergency basis (it is an adult tooth and was causing great discomfort). My daughter has, in the past, become oppositional and resistant when her pediatrician asked to look in her throat using just a tongue depressor, so I assumed that some sort of restraint was going to be necessary to get anywhere near my daughter with a novacaine needle. Dr. Pagonis sat down with her and showed her each instrument and asked, "May I use this to look at your tooth?" I appreciated this person-centered approach; respect for individual choice and self determination is an important factor in reducing fears. Before I knew it, Dr. Pagonis was saying, "There aren't going to be any surprises. No surprises. I'm going to put this gel on your tooth to make it go to sleep, and now I'd like you to close your eyes and you'll feel the pinch." I was absolutely amazed that my daughter was in total comfort during the entire procedure and did not even appear to be nervous. I really think that Dr Pagonis's personal convictions about what dentistry should be like, as well as her personal stories that she shares with patients about her own difficulty in receiving the appropriate amount of local anesthesia (and her particular sensitivity to this issue for all of her patients), has made her an incredible, excellent dentist. Since this has already become quite a lengthy review, I'll just briefly state the very significant aspect of her office staff-- Kristina has assisted us with billing, super-bills for our flex spending justifications, and every aspect of the administrative side to the dental experience. She is cheerful, helpful, and attentive. I am so pleased that our family found this practice. read more

Highly recommend her! She will put you at ease and is the best dentist! She filled 3 cavities in a hour and didn't inflict one little ounce of pain! AMAZING!! My fears are gone!! read more

I came in today for two crowns and a deep cleaning, both life changing. Dr. P's local injections are like poetry. I didn't feel the needle AT ALL and was numb the entire time. I even had the chance to catch up on some boxing as they have monitors + Netflix = super win. My hygienist was also awesome. You need to come to this office for dental work. You will get the best treatment here! read more

I consider myself one of the lucky few who can say, "I love my Dentist"! My mouth needed a major overhaul. I sat down for the first time with Dr. Pagonis about 7 years ago, she explained to me what my immediate dental needs were and what we could save for our long term goals. Always maximizing my dental benefits! Her compassion, understanding and professionalism have always been as much appreciated as her million watt smile. Even when my dental needs were outside her expertise she was able to connect me with a specialist with the same level of understanding and professionalism. She has surrounded herself with a staff of amazing women and men who share her joy and care for what they do. Calls are answered or returned promptly, billing questions are always explained clearly and flexible scheduling to boot. She offers her cell phone to her patience for after hour emergencies too. My 13 and 15 year old girls have been seeing her for several years, they never complain about going to the dentist and love the gentle care they receive from their hygienist. Couldn't give a higher recommendation for a fantastic dentist. read more

I love Dr. P! She is always accommodating with my crazy schedule. Her staff is very professional and helpful.

I'm very happy with Dr. P. She is nice, her staff is nice and they always try to fit me in at a time that will have as few children present as possible! That said I've never had any real dental work done so the DDS office is just a paid vacation from work and a nice 60mi chat :) read more

Dr. Nicole Pagonis is amazing! We've been going to her for 4 years, and her service, staff, care and new office are the best. She's super personable and checks in to make sure you're comfortable and her procedures are painless. She offers Hulu, Netflix or music while your in one of her chairs, and my whole family just love her and her staff! read more

Great doctor! She and her staff are very informative and always provide lots of information before they do a procedure. Makes the dentist visit just a bit more pleasant. read more

I just left Dr. Pagonis' office and am completely blown away. I never thought I'd say that about a dentist! She is very caring, professional, and extremely personable. I have had numerous headaches and jaw pain for quite a while, and when my other dentist recommended just physical therapy for my jaw, Dr. Pagonis found that there might be some more serious things going on with my mouth and that my jaw might even be dislocated! We are working on a plan with different specialists in order to help fix my dental situation, and in the mean time, I will be referring everyone I know to Dr. P! read more

I love Dr. P! We moved back to the area in 2013 and were referred to this office by an orthodontist friend. I was immediately impressed with Dr. Pagonis and her entire team in the office. My husband and 3 children are also patients and this is the first time ever that they don't complain about going in for their regular dental check ups. On his last visit, my youngest son (12 years) had a stubborn baby tooth pulled, with NO TEARS!! I've referred a few friends and will continue referring :) read more

I couldn't be more thrilled to have had Dr.Pagonis introduced to my life. What a difference fro any place I have ever been before! HONEST, upfront, sincere and she and her staff truly care! I am so happy that my family now has a Dr. like her in our lives! HIGHLY recommended! read more

Dr. Pagonis is great! She is very professional, informative, and friendly. You feel very confortable and relax with her. Her team is also AMAZING, always trying to accommodate with your schedule, working with your insurance and making sure your teeth are sparkling. I recommended her to all my friends. read more

Dr. Pagonis has little to no competition in the world of dentistry. She wholeheartedly embraces her title as Doctor and I've never had such a comprehensive exam of my mouth. She cares about your health overall which is why her exam is thorough. You can tell that she takes her profession seriously and keeps learning because she is so knowledgeable! She explains everything that is going on in detail so you leave with a complete understanding of whatever the issue may be. I've looked long and hard for a dentist I can have total confidence in and I'm ecstatic to have that in Dr. Pagonis. As an added bonus to her exceptional care, she has the most beautiful dental office I've ever seen and her staff is also very warm and genuinely seem happy to be there. Overall, what a gem! read more

She is the best!!! Makes you feel comfortable and explains everything she needs to do in a way that's compassionate and understandable.

Let me start by saying WOW! I'm not much of a reviewer, and I'm not the first to jump up and run to the dentist. But after having Dr P. Work on me, I was amazed at the lack there of any pain! I didn't feel the shot she gave me with what seemed to be a 2 foot long syringe needle. She is so gentle I never felt a thing, and that's a very important talent in line of work. Along with the painless experience, her staff is just RAD. She has hand picked the best in the area to help her run her practice. I could not be more pleased with the service I've had, and the work I've had done! Needless to say, I am always smiling when I leave her office because she is always super cheery, nice, funny and personable. I feel like I've know her my whole life:)Thanks for being a stand-up person Dr. P!!! Keep it up! read more

Very friendly Staff, Dr P does a great job explaining why she is completing your procedures and what it takes to maintain good oral health.

My wife and I both had our first visit with Dr. Pagonis yesterday, and we couldn't have been more pleased. Dr. Pagonis and her entire staff were all genuinely friendly and skilled, and everything just moves so smoothly. Each step of the basic procedures I had was explained in detail, and I can't say I've ever had a more pleasant dental experience. read more

Highly recommend Dr Pagonis and her team. Always a great experience. Very friendly, professional, efficient, and knowledgable. Take the time to explain clearly in plain English the diagnostic and what the options are. They are not pushy. They always seem to be on time - I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for my appointments. Clean and modern office. 6 stars if I could! read more

Dr. Nicole is GREAT. I was diagnosed with cancer and you have to have all your teeth in perfect order before you start treatment. She made sure my teeth were in tip-top shape. It was one less thing to worry about. She and her staff were so generous with their time - they love their patients and they love their work. IT SHOWS. Best dentist I've ever had. read more
