I and my family have been patients of Stephen Rottjakob for more than 20 years. Both he and Dr. Nicole Rottjakob are extremely thorough and excellent dentists. The hygienists are also excellent. Everyone in this practice is very personable and explains procedures well. They also use the latest dental methods and keep up to date with their practice. Highly recommend. read more

I've been extremely happy since seeing Dr. Rottjakob (both dad and daughter). They are very compassionate with a great bedside manner, and have helped me greatly with curing my tooth pain. The hygienist Lori is also a great asset, and both Selena and Chanel welcome you with a smile when you arrive. Overall it's a great experience. read more

Dr Rottjakob is amazing. His office went above and beyond to get me in for treatment. He made four painful days come to a screeching halt. He is very well trained in the dental options and outlined very clearly, after numerous tests, my options . He delivered today and set me up for another appointment for final resolution. He is clearly the best. Almaden is very fortunate to have this dental guru. Besides being well trained in dental resolutions, he has a very kind demeanor. He is the best ever! read more

Always a pleasure going to the Rottjakob dental office. Very friendly staff and both Dr. Rottjakob dentists are very dental knowledgeable and have aways taken great care of my dental needs. read more

I have been visiting this dental office for over 35 years and ALWAYS received excellent dental service. The whole staff is personable. The equipment is state of the art. Don't hesitate to try Drs. Rottjakob! read more

Drs Stephen and Nicole are superb! They scooted me in on a Friday, when their office is typically closed, for my unexpected tooth mishap. Their service was impeccable and wow(!) was I happy and relieved with the outcome. Selena at the front desk is a joy - so warm and welcoming, always! Thank youuuu! read more

If you are looking for a great dentist who explains everything in detail and discusses your options then Dr Rottjakob is the dentist you must see. He listens to your concerns and takes the time to explain everything. I've been seeing him for a couple of years now and wish I had gone to him years before. Having gotten into a dental emergency recently he not only treated me but followed up with me. Even when busy his office staff is is friendly and helpful. read more

So far I have only needed my teeth cleaned. Very thorough and detailed. I am very happy with everyone in their office.

I've received care from both Dr. Rottjakobs (father and daughter) as well from their professional and accommodating staff. I have never enjoyed going to the dentist but at this office, I've experienced a quality of care, respect, attentiveness, and professionalism which truly puts me at ease. Laurie is my dental hygienist and I can attest to her gentleness and quality of care - I actually floss now because of you! Thanks for making my experiences comfortable while helping me understand how to improve my dental health. Highly highly recommend! read more

Dr Rottjakob is truly the best dentist! And my hygienist, Lori is also one of the best in her field! Great team! I have been going to them, I believe for more than 20 years now! Thank you! read more

Dr. Rottjakob and his staff are fantastic! His entire staff is friendly and professional. They are incredibly skilled, innovative and take time to explain things clearly. I have never been more comfortable going to a dental appointment. I have gone to Dr. Rottjakob for close to 30 years. If you are looking for a competent, honest, gentle dental office, this is the place. His daughter, Dr. Nicole, is just as genuine. read more

I left a long time ago and won't recommend. My opinion is he is short tempered and I felt bullied. I would not recommend if you have any anxiety. read more

Just an amazing dental practice! They checked both of my kids today (ages 5 and 2) and were not only warm and kind but also truly fantastic with them. Everyone made the kids feel comfortable right away, and the whole experience was so positive. My husband and I are just as happy with the care we receive here as a family practice, and we've decided we will never switch dentists again. We're so glad we found our family dentist and couldn't be happier! read more

We had a consult with Dr. Nicole for composite build up on our daughter's front teeth after her braces come off. Dr. Nicole said they woud not do the composite bonding and recommended porcelain veneers only. We hesitated and did our own research and other dentist consultations and boy am I glad we did NOT take her advice. Two other dentists said they would never recommend veneers for such a young person. Teenagers grow and they will have a gap between the expensive veneers and their gum line as they grow. This matched information I found on the web regarding veneers for young people. Those two dentists also said doing the composite bonding was not an issue at all. It would have been better for Dr. Nicole to simply say she can't do the composite instead of pushing the wrong treatment at a high cost that was not warranted. To top it off, we were billed for this flawed advice. I strongly suggest you get a second opinion before blindly trusting this office with your dental needs. read more

Never go here, ruined my son's teeth, too conceited to admit it's his fault and too arrogant to think he may have actually done something wrong read more

I would definitely recommend this dental office. Friendly professional staff working in a beautiful, clean office. Laurie is a thorough gentle hygienist. Both Dr. Rottjakob's are professional, and caring and use state of the art technology to give the patient the absolute best results. read more

Had an emergency and we live 200 miles away. Called Dr. Steve and he was ready when we arrived. Examined and determined oral surgery was needed and he personally called Dr. Walker's office. Arranged for us to be seen immediately; determined the procedure and scheduled for the following morning. Stayed overnight, had the procedure and met with Dr. Steve right after. All good and drove home. Personal service, high degree of caring; none better! read more

Tooth ache started about noon & became unbearable about 4pm. I called the office & they said to come right in. Dr Steve & Dr Nicole both were involved in resolving the issue. Selena at the front desk never hesitated in telling me to come right in. This was critical as they are closed on Friday. The care received at this office is outstanding. read more

Love the team at Dr. Rottjakob's office. They are professional, knowledgeable and run their appointments on time. Highly recommend them.

Dr Rottjakob is a highly competent dentist. His staff are very professional. Somehow everyone is the office is warm and kind which is difficult to find these days especially in an efficient office. I felt anxious going to a dentist office ever since I was young, but I feel very comfortable going there even for a crown procedure. They explained everything they do and cared a lot about your comfort. read more

Dr. Stephen Rottjakob made me feel whole again! The treatment plan he came up with made it so I could go out into the world again!! He is the most caring Dentist I have ever been to in my life time!!! I got his name from my daughter, who also sees him plus my grandson is now seeing him, and I told my son, and he too, sees him!! In fact, my husband was jealous by how good my teeth look that he is seeing him on Wednesday April10,2024 his quality of work is outstanding, and if you have a problem, you are seen the same day!!! And the girls up front are sweet, funny, & so kind it's nice to have that kind of experience when you walk into an Dentist office if you have a fear of Dentist, I recommend seeing him, if you are scared to go to the Dentist will instantly be calmed by the girls upfront and then the beautiful office,very clean & peaceful with a beautiful wall hanging fountain!!!! Your fears will disappear when you meet Dr. Stephen Rottjakob he is gentle, and as you go through your treatment, he will explain what he is everything he is oodoing throughout your whole procedure I never thought in my lifetime.

Dr''s Nicole & Dr.Rottjakob are ideal dentists who have always made me feel comfortable. They not only understand the situation in my mouth but also demonstrate concern for my overall health. I have complete trust in them because they are able to make each & every experience pain free. They are ideal dentists who know how important a patient's smile is & they work to getting it perfect. Dr's Nicole, Dr. Rottjakob & the office staff deserve 5 stars! read more

Trish cleaned my teeth. My teeth were stained before. Now the stains are all gone. Nicole, and the whole team are just incredible. Trish was so friendly that it made my visit so easy. read more

I concur with all of the great reviews about both Dr. Nicole and Dr. Stephen. I have never been to a more pain free, professional dental office in my life! After moving to San Jose 15 years ago, I bounced around from dentist to dentist but never found one "good enough to keep". FINALLY my family has found a "home" with this father-daughter dream team. I am picky, to be sure, but it's my mouth. On my face. You should be super picky about your dentist! read more

Absolutely amazing business. Dr. Rottjakob takes the time to really get to know you and make sure that you are both informed and confortable. Like a lot of people, going to the dentist isn't my favorite thing. That said, this place really does an amazing job. It's the first dentist I've had where I actually really look forward to going! read more

The best dental care in San Jose. Everyone here is very nice and accommodating with our schedules. I usually like to schedule my appointment and my 2 children's back to back so I only have to make one trip. Love the complimentary toothbrushes at the end of our visits :) Thank you Dr. Rottjakob, Dr. Nicole, Lori, Patty, and Linda, I hope I got everyone. read more

I found Dr Rottjakob via. Yelp and though I am trusting on dining finding medical professionals in Yelp was a new experience for me. I must say Yelpers have it right. Dr Rottjakob and his staff have been great. I gave had several procedures done there. They are very professional and quite prompt and always friendly. Also prices are comparible, I believe. If you live or work in Almaden Valley, check out Smile - Family and Cosmetic Dentistry. read more

I live five minutes away from this office and it took me six years to find them. Can't rave enough about Dr. Rottjakob and ALL his staff!!! Turned my husband onto them and he couldn't believe the level of care he received and thorough explanation of treatment as well as great advice. As a patient you never feel rushed and the office staff are super easy to deal with, always follow up on your questions and are very nice pleasant people. There's just a very good vibe in general. The office is very new and clean, appointments are always on time and you're never left with questions post visit. I've recommended this office to all of my friends, but secretly hope it doesn't get too busy because making appointments is a breeze. I hope this practice stays in business for a long time! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Rottjakob for some time and have been very happy. Recently, he fitted me with a crown that I needed for one of my front teeth. Dr. Rottkajob was very emphatic that he wanted the color to get just right, and since the tooth is at the front of my mouth, he sent me to Annie at the California Dental Arts in Cupertino, where they create the crown so they can get the color exact. Dr. Rottkajob explained that when the crown comes in, he wanted me to be absolutely sure that the color is perfect. When the crown came in, it still needed a slight adjustment in color, so I went back to the lab, and Annie made the color adjustment to perfection; I went shopping for two hours while the color was baked in, and I was then ready to return to Dr. Rottkajob's office for the final cementing. The crown is perfect, and I couldn't be happier. I'm grateful that Dr. Rottkajob insisted on perfection, which is exactly what I wanted! read more

I don't normally enjoy going to the dentist, but Dr. Rottjakob and his team is special. I was way overdue for cleaning back then, but Laurie took care of my teeth and now they're in great shape. Laurie is attentive, friendly, and detail-oriented in her work. I can't recommend her enough. I enjoy Dr. Stephen's personality - he talks (and works) fast and is very animated. Dr. Nicole is cool too and has great work ethic. All in all they have a solid team who's knowledgeable and skilled in their craft. I'm moving out of state and will miss going to Dr. Rottjakob's. Also, they just moved to a new office which looks awesome! read more

Best dentist office ever. I've been coming here for a few years now. Both Drs are so compassionate and caring. Great office staff, always so welcoming when you walk in. Decided to do Invisalign's after my teeth started to move, so glad I did. Would so highly recommend this dentist practice read more

Dr. Rottjakob and his staff are excellent! They make going to the dentist as painless as possible and their upbeat attitude and demeanor are appreciated. read more

My crown fell off on Saturday night - I left a voice mail - Sunday morning Dr. Rottjakob calls me at home, and asked me to come to the office at 12:30pm Sunday so he can re-cement it. He said he didn't want his patient to be suffering though this. The office was closed at that time. He is amazing. So is Linda, Dr. Nicole and the entire staff. read more

I've been coming here for the last 2 years and always have a positive experience. From booking to the actual visit, everything is handled in a friendly and professional manner. Today my cleaning was performed by Trish and she was amazing. I started by telling her about areas of sensitivity and she was extremely careful to make sure I was not in any pain. She has such a pleasant personality and explained everything very well. Dr. Nicole is always great as well. Highly recommend! read more

The best dental care I've ever received! The team at Smile Dentistry is totally devoted to your complete dental health! They make available every test as well as process to insure your teeth are in excellent condition! Give them a try...I'm sure you'll be totally pleased! read more

No waiting, no pain, friendly staff, best equipment -- dental appointments don't get any better.

First visit since the virus shutdown. Covid protocol is excellent. Temperature taken at the lobby door, hand sanitizer provided upon entering the waiting area. I felt very safe and the hygienist did a great cleaning of my teeth. Nice to see Dr. Rottjakob's daughter seeing patients too. Very nice dentist. Just like her dad. Their office is about to move down the street to a new first floor office. No more stairs to negotiate. Yay. Continues to be a great place for all dental needs. read more

Went for a routine checkup after 2 years. The support staff here is excellent. Dr Rottjakob is great and tells you exactly what you need to do to protect your teeth! The new office is clean and spacious. read more

Had my first visit and it was great! All of Dr. Stephen's staff are friendly, caring and all round awesome people. The whole process with them from booking an appointment to the visit and beyond was smooth, highly recommended if you do not have a preferred dentist! read more
