Excellent care, staff and dr Ross explained every detail in the procedure. Dr Ross even called the next day to do welfare check on me. Nice waiting room. Highly recommended read more

Dr. Ross works very hard to figure out what's going on with your dental issues, always very professional and kind. Amanda is awesome at the front desk, one of my very favorite people! And Lisa is the best Dental Hygienist around (even though I hate getting my teeth cleaned). Go see Dr. Ross for all your dental needs! read more

I've been seeing Ryan for a few years, and he's an OK dentist. I've had two fillings done (both of which he spotted on the X-rays before they hurt). One I had to have adjusted a few times (which he did for free, of course). One was great right off the bat. When I complained of pain in my gums, the staff took X-rays, found nothing, and suggested some toothbrush and toothpaste changes which have helped. I gave a 3 star because the oral hygienists generally slash up my gums pretty good, and I'm sore for a couple days. read more

Always as accommodating as possible with my busy schedule and they've got great hygienists (Thanks for cleaning today Lisa!) to compliment a thorough dentist that helps me to avoid major issues down the road. Dr. Ross is attentive to my concerns and understands me as a patient. If you're looking for good dentistry and to be as preventative as possible -- without any shaming or blaming -- go here. But don't make them too busy, I still want to get my appointments! read more

Moved in from out the area and made appointemts for my wife and I 2 months in advance. Week before appointments we find out (not by their notificacation but because we called to confirm the appontment) that the dentist will not be availabile. Reception says they will reschedule and call us with new apointments. Called them 3 times, never got back. Total loser flakes. read more

Wow, great dental experience. I switched to Ryan Ross this year and it was easy and painless. His staff was great, I got everything I needed to fill out via email and had friendly interactions with them before even meeting anyone at the office. The office visit was better than I expected and Ryan took great care of me. Thank you Ryan Ross & Co!! read more

I needed to find a dentist in SLO while I was attending Cal Poly and I am SO glad I found Dr. Ross! The receptionist was so kind and always greets you at the door. Since parking is limited, I had to park in a meter out front. The receptionist gave me quarters for the meter and while I was getting my teeth cleaned by seriously the most down to earth hygienist ever, my car ran out of time and the receptionist went out and fed my meter. Since this was my first time at Dr. Ross' office I was given a Welcome Gift. I have never received a gift from a dentist, so sweet!! When Dr. Ross came into read my x-rays he was so nice and honest. I am so bummed I will not be going back to Dr. Ross' office since I am graduating this June 2014. However, I recommend Dr. Ross for all your dental needs! read more

I cannot sing the praises loud enough for the office staff and Dr. Ross! If you do not walk out of that office with a smile on your face I have to wonder about you! If you need a dentist, seriously do yourself a favor and make an appointment!! read more

After horrific experiences with sadistic dentists, I began seeing Dr. Ross after 10 years of no dental visits. To make matters worse, I chewed tobacco for 20 plus years too. 10 years later, I get a clean bill of oral health, no tobacco chewing and THE BEST DENTIST ANYWHERE. He is the most PAINLESS dentist with FRIENDLIEST staff. Dr. Ross takes pride in his work and is never in a rush during any treatment. Extremely thorough AND diagnosed a disease I had that 8 "experts" could not, that was not directly related to dental. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR.Ross... read more

I have only seen him once, so this review is based on limited information. But, I look for something specific in a clinician- honesty. Are they the best to perform a particular procedure? Does the procedure make sense- is it the best direction to go with my health? Or is it their finances they are interested in? That sounds mercenary, and I do not mean it to be. After months of Co-Vid, some are financially struggling. I am, myself, a clinician. I work HARD to try to make sure that what I tell a patient, and what I do with a patient is the BEST I have. It takes more time, and it is sometimes more time consuming, but it may help the person on ways you will never know. But cost must always be considered- costs to the patient and their family. It is hard to find a really good dentist. Theirs is a tough business. They have an office, staff, benefits to pay, salaries- including their own, insurance, neck problems, etc. The more time they spend with a patient, the less they make ( fast in fast out- more money). To be really good though, and apply the rules in the first two paragraph- most ca not do it. Except Dr. Ross. He is very wise, compassionate, and considerate. I did not feel rushed. I felt his advise was sage, and that he weighed the options. When he was done with his assessment, he asked if I had any questions. Simple, but unfortunately, pretty rare. He is hood man, and highly recommended. read more

What a pleasure to have Dr Ross as my dentist!!! I just recently switched dentists and have been so incredibly happy I came to this practice. Dr Ross and his staff are very professional and personal, taking the time to get to know you as a patient. I really appreciated that step before they did any cleanings or dental work! I just had a filling yesterday and it was the fastest easiest filling I have ever had! I even said during the procedure that Dr Ross and his assistant are like a well oiled machine! They are incredible, they were so efficient and took great care to make sure I was comfortable and in and out of there quickly! Can't recommend Dr Ross enough!! read more

I work in dentistry, but in a specialty area. So in finding a general dentist, I was very picky. Dr. Ross's office gave me every reason to put my full trust in them. They're organized, kind, and professional. Shout out to Amanda at the the front desk for being one of the friendliest people I've ever met! read more

One of the best in slo county. Great dentist and Great staff. I love this practice and I highly recommend it to anybody looking for a Good Dentist and an excellent dental care. read more

I was referred to Dr. Ross via a good friend who had nothing but good things to say, and she was right! He is very thorough, kind, detailed, focused speaks slowly and in language that makes it easy to understand what he recommends doing and why. I had seen the same dentist (that retired) for over 30 years and was hesitant to find someone else. I am so happy to have found him and his team. And, he gives the best shots! read more

My friend recently had surgery, my dentist was busy ( Stephen Quist ) and doesn't work Fridays...My dentist told em they often refer to Ryan Ross, and so we called for my friend made an appointment next day ( and that is never easy to squeeze someone in) and they went out of their way to take care of my freind, she ended up having lockjaw from surgery. I highly recommend them, and plan on using them when my dentist is busy- he is a very nice considerate man and highly knowledgeable, amazing staff and every person that walked in looked happy to enter a dentist office, which is amazing in my book. read more

Shortly after arriving in San Luis Obispo for a vacation last month, I had the unsettling experience of a temporary crown popping off. I called Dr. Ross's office, and they were kind enough to fit me in promptly. Shayla did a great job of resetting the crown, and the entire staff was super friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend! read more

Dr. Ross is great. Knowledgeable with a good chair side manor. Friendly and efficient staff. Annie reminded me about my appointment and billed my insurance. Plus all the equipment is spotless and brand new. read more

I love this practice! I started seeing Dr Ryan Ross when he was an associate with another dentist, and i was so very happy when he opened his own practice. I love everything about this office. Since that time, he has opened in a new facility and it is better than ever! Everything is new state of the art, from the decor to the equiptment. They welcome me when i come in like an old friend. The entire staff is so friendly and professional, I have had nothing but great experiences here. Truth be told, I am not their easiest patient. Some aspects of my treatment have been challenging. Dr Ross has worked closely with me to take care of all my dental needs, and he has always been upfront and honest about his recommendations for care. I have the utmost confidence in his treatment, and he makes sure that I am happy and always follows up after treatment, to make sure that I am comfortable. The benefit is that I have a beautiful pain-free smile. Thank you to my dentist, Dr Ryan Ross and his FAAAABulous staff! I love you guys! I recommend them in a hearbeat! read more

Amazing office! These folks are seriously professionals! Every time I call I am greeted enthusiastically. They are efficient and helpful. It's easy to schedule an appointment. They are very knowledgeable about insurance. They never push extra X-rays or cleanings. Score. read more

Dr. Ross is a fabulous dentist and just a really nice person. In fact, the entire dental office was extremely friendly and helpful. I appreciated the clear communication from not only Dr. Ross but the entire staff with next steps/treatments, scheduling, etc. I highly recommend Dr. Ross for your next dental visit. read more

Our family needed a new dentist, having recently moved to SLO. We are thrilled at the care, friendliness and professionalism of the staff as the "face" of the business. Dr. Ross fulfilled our need of a caring dentist and gave us each a thorough exam, explaining what he was discovering. He is interested not only in our dental concerns, but in our personal lives. Everyone from the receptionists, hygienists and Dr. Ross - we needn't look any further. We highly recommend this office to any family or individual. read more

I've had my up and downs with Dr. Ross and his staff. I believe sometimes they forget it's business not personal. And what's yelp for if not to state your opinion. Anyway as of recent, they have actually left me two messages to remind me that I need my teeth checked again (and rightly so). Also were able to schedule me right away for an adjustment to a a stayplate (partial). For now I hope my ability to work with them in an amicably polite environment will continue. Have no plans on looking to other dentists. This area HAS some real terrible dentists who probably should not be practicing anymore. Dr. Ross at least is well informed and aware of all the new and proper techniques in dentistry. read more

Awesome dental experience which is definitely hard to come by! I've always had a fear of going to the dentist so it's been a while since I've gotten any dental work done, even with years of dental insurance. After a friend recommended Dr. Ross, I reluctantly made an appointment for a check up. Not only was I NOT disappointed but I was thoroughly impressed with the kind, gentle, and knowledgeable staff. Doctor Ross is wonderful and actually talks to his patients like they are people which is something I haven't seen from many doctors or dentists. All of my concerns were addressed, my nerves were calmed, and I left feeling great about my return visits to get further work done. Thanks Dr. Ross and staff for an amazing dental experience. See you soon! read more

I LOVE this office. The staff is amazing! All of them. Almost can't wait to go back!! Their new doctor does great work and he's so soft spoken and sweet. read more

Great experience! Have not been at a dentist in 15+ years, and they treated me like I was not an outcast! Dr. Ross donated into a silent auction I attended for his services that I won. Upon making a reservation, I was greeted with smiles from all the staff including Annie, and also a gift basket for winning the auction! Dr Ross was to-the-point, and did not sugar coat the issues with one's teeth. He was very thorough, and took the extra time to make you feel you were the only one in his practice. Also Lisa the Hygienist was top-notch! I was dreading to hear, "You need to floss..." and never got the lecture from her. Thank you, Lisa! My two hour experience was not a dreadful one like I anticipated, and shows why they have a 'Smile Client of the month!" next to the front door...and no, I am not posting on Yelp to try and be the next. I am 100% at ease of mind going there for my next appointment. Thank you everyone! I stumbled upon something great! :) read more

Dr. Ryan Ross is an outstanding dentist and a kind and gentle man. I highly recommend him. He is not only a true professional with great bedside matter but his work is impeccable. My son had his entire month crowned by Dr. Ross and I personally have never seen such beautiful crowns. I can not tell that the teeth are crowns because the new teeth look so natural in color and in shape. I have also been seen by Dr. Ross as a patient and both my son and I agree that his work is excellent and we feel grateful to have him as our dentist. I must add that his staff is top notch. Always warm and welcoming. read more

I've been going to Dr. Ross for a few years and always had pleasant experiences. I recently came in for a check up and mentioned some sensitivity, and he said I needed a crown, which is normal. When I was having the crown put on, it was so ill fitted that it took about 10 minutes of him wrenching on my tooth to get it off (before it was even cemented) which caused my gums to become bruised and raw. The pain increased and caused ulcers in my mouth, which I went back and they said I needed a root canal. They were going to proceed with a root canal without putting me on antibiotics, which I disagreed with. I went elsewhere to have my root canal, and when I contacted them afterwards to discuss that I was unhappy, the woman I spoke with was immediately defensive and condescending, saying my opinion was incorrect because I was not a doctor nor have dental experience. When she was trying to back herself up, she listed something she had on my chart that was COMPLETELY INCORRECT which shows that none of that I had explained over the years was written down correctly. The experience was painful enough, but having someone from my doctors office be so completely rude and condescending after I had to spend thousands of dollars to fix a tooth and not even apologize once for the experience, and then tell me I am wrong in my opinion is just ridiculous. I also have other medical records to support what you have listed on my chart as wrong... I am just baffled. read more

It had been ten years since I had been to the dentist. Dental phobia prevented me from going. A co-worker suggested Dr. Ross and even called the office for me. Well, it's been almost three years and I haven't missed an appointment yet. Dr. Ross is great and his staff is friendly, supportive, and keep me motivated to stay on top of my dental care! Thank you, Dr. Ross and staff for everything you do! My teeth also thank you! read more

I recently had the unfortunate occur, a broken tooth, which prompted a visit to Dr. Ross. I don't normally write reviews on Yelp or any other online rating service but my experience with Dr. Ross was so unexpectedly incredible it prompted my desire to log on and write this review. They only allow 5 star ratings but Dr. Ross is definitely over the top - 10 stars. Seriously, no one really likes to go to the dentist, having a person or several persons routing around in your mouth with multiple instruments, the sound of that drill, the discomfort of needles, and not to even mention the cost of all that pleasure. But I have to say that Dr Ross and his staff made my experience there almost pleasurable. I think this was the first time that I have been to a dentist where I felt not one bit of pain or discomfort, it was almost unbelievable to me but all true. I had been struggling with a food pocket in my upper back molars and after my visits to Dr. Ross that was completely taken care of and I have not had any discomfort or issues with the tooth or gums since. So all that said, if you are looking for the best dentist in San Luis Obispo, and a experienced and professional staff this is the place for you. read more

Dr. Ross is nothing short of a genius. We were on our way to a family wedding in San Luis Obispo, somewhere south of Santa Barbara, when I found Dr. Ross' contact info and called his office from the car. My mom had just broken a front tooth off at the root, and with it came the one next to it that had been cantilevered to it, many years ago. She was distraught, thinking she'd have to go through the entire weekend and her grand daughter's wedding, with a gapping hole in her smile. We clearly needed to look for someone to help and not knowing anyone in the SLO area, I googled dentists in the general vicinity and found Dr. Ross' contact info, along with several very positive reviews. His receptionist was so lovely; she knew we weren't going to make it to SLO before end of the day, but she offered to make room early the next morning for Dr. Ross to see my mom. When he did, it didn't look promising at all, but he came up with an ingenious solution and by 3 PM that afternoon, with the help of the lab, mom's two teeth were back in place and she was able to attend the rehearsal dinner, wedding and all the related events with smile in tact. Thank you, Dr. Ross. You truly saved my mom's weekend and created great memories for all of us! read more
