Dr. Yoshida is kind, friendly and proactive and an expert at what he does. So grateful to have him be our family dentist for over 25 years! Recently my adult child moved back to the area and told him she was having pain on a tooth. Turns out previous dentist cracked it in a procedure and she needed an expert to help. Dr. Yoshida was able to recommend a great local doctor who was knowlegeable in doing this kind of surgery requiring skin grafts as the infection had gotten out of hand. We are soooo grateful to know Brian Yoshida and apprecate him so much. read more

My three children and I have had Dr. Yoshida as a dentist for 23 years. Words cannot express how excellent the care we have received is. My children do not fear coming to dentist appointments even with cavities. Dr. Yoshida is very thorough and gentle and kind. He advised me a few years back that my tonsils seemed large and to maybe follow up with my primary care to see if I might have sleep apnea. He was correct! I was tested and it was severe and I didn't even know. I'm grateful for the excellent work he provides. Highly recommend! read more

Best dentist around! 4th generation is going to him in our family! Thanks Dr. Brian! Always super friendly, clean, and left feeling sparkling white! read more

Was a former patient of Dr. Yoshida when I was younger. Growing up I remember Dr. Yoshida was always patient with me. He was fast and gentle and thoroughly explained everything going on. As an adult, I recently had x-rays taken, which probed questions on any past head injury trauma. I called Dr. Yoshida's office to see if there were any x-rays taken when I was little. I hadn't been there in 9+ years, but Dr. Yoshida staff helped me right away. Dr. Yoshida even spoke with me over the phone to help investigate my situation. It showed his caringness and willingness to help even as a former patient. Definitely recommend Dr. Yoshida! read more

Was a former patient of Dr. Yoshida's in my youth. Was beyond thrilled to learn that I could return as an adult. His staff was as always super warm and professional. With covid measures in place, I felt very safe and taken care of. Best dental practice in the South Bay! read more

I came here as a child, my seven year old now comes here. Best dentist in the world! My daughter actually looks forward to going to the dentist. She feels very comfortable and at ease and I have known them so long it almost feels like family... read more

Yoshida R Brian, DMD - Gabby getting her teeth cleaned!! Lol - Pediatric Dentists Near Me - Saratoga, California

We always feel welcome (even during a pandemic) at Dr. Yoshida's office. My son had a tooth removed yesterday and great care was taken to explain the process and what he would feel step by step. Most important -- my son always leaves with a smile on his face. read more

I drive 5 hours back and forth to see this amazing dentist. My daughter been seeing him since 5 years old and he was the only dentist to do work without putting her to sleep. She cooperated easily with him and he was so friendly with her and made her feel safe.it was peace of mind for me when I initially went to 5 dentists before and they all refuse to even try treat her in fear she will cry and scare other children. I'm grateful I found Dr. Yoshida and I even referred him to my family and they also drive for him. read more

My son is always happy and comfortable in the office. The staff and Doctor take the time to answer his questions and explain his treatment plan. On the occasions that he has needed a procedure, Dr. Yoshida is fast and gentle, and aftercare is throughly explained. read more

Although I was worried about going to the dental office because of COVID-19, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Dr.Yoshida and his staff are taking all the necessary precautions. I was especially impressed that they were temperature screening patients before even allowing them to enter the office (via laser thermometer to avoid unnecessary contact). In addition to using masks, staff are using face shields and Plexiglas barriers. They also have hand sanitizer for patients. While I was there for my appointment, there was no other patients, but if there was, there would only be two patients to allow for proper distancing (although if you were from the same household you could be seated next to each other, which I think could be reassuring for young patients). My father didn't schedule an appointment for my brother because he felt that it might not be safe, but after sharing how everything was being done with patient safety in mind, he will be making an appointment for my brother soon. I have been a patient for Dr.Yoshida since I was a child. Like many other children, I did not like flossing; however, Dr.Yoshida never made me feel bad when he noticed that I wasn't flossing, he was just very encouraging and told me to keep up the good work with my brushing. I think that a positive attitude towards young children is important because the dentist is generally not a fun experience. The first time I went to Dr.Yoshida, I thought he was going to take my teeth so I bit him. Despite this, he was very kind and let me take something from the treasure box (stickers and toys for kids). I felt so bad for biting him that the next time I went to the dentist I was the perfect patient. As an adult, I couldn't imagine going anywhere else, so I stayed with Dr.Yoshida. I often see many other older patients who grew up with Dr.Yoshida, but because they've had such great experiences also do not want to leave. Honest dentists with fair prices and genuine compassion for their patients are rare. I've never had a cavity, and if you take your kids here and follow Dr.Yoshida's instructions, your kids will also have beautiful smiles. read more

Our whole family appreciates Dr.Yoshida and the whole staff here. Everytime we visit they have all been very professional, kind and caring. My four year old had a traumatic dental experience earlier on in her life, but they have been super gentle with her, and last time she was able to sit in the seat by herself, and said the visit was 'fun'! Dr.Yoshida seems to be very big in preventative care, and does not push treatments that are unnecessary. Thank you Dr.Yoshida and staff for your excellent services! read more

I went here as a child's and have returned to the practice since moving back to the Bay. When i went for a recent cleaning, Dr. Brian informed me that i had the beginnings of a cavity forming. Instead of waiting for it to get worse and require a filing, he offered to put a sealant on, which is a more proactive and conservative approach. I took my 2 year old in for her first dental appointment, and she responded really well to Lisa during the cleaning and to Dr. Brian during his exam. Dr. Brian told us that my toddler should stop using a pacifier in the most kind and understanding way. He didn't push us stopping right away, and he talked through the best ways to do it. I really felt like he viewed me as a partner in caring for my daughter's dental health. read more

My kids look forward to their dentist visit and talk positively about it after! Best treasure box ever!! My daughter has special needs (sensory issues and seizures) and he and his staff are incredibly accommodating. I drive a half hour because it's the right fit. read more

Dr Yoshida is the Best!He talks to my kids in a simple Way,step by step what needs to be done.Very gentle when giving treatment.My kids looks forward to every visit we have. Best treasure box read more

My childhood dentist who I went to for 15+ years (since I was 7)! Dr. Brian is a great great great dentist and I owe him my lovely teeth. It was definitely a sad day when I got a job and changed insurance so I couldn't come here anymore. I still get postcards asking me to make an appointment though which makes me even sadder. :( Anyway, he's a great dentist (especially for children) but will accept older patients like I was. Funny that one time I was in the office for my checkup and noticed how all the patients were little kids. I felt like Ross in Friends when he's caught going to his childhood doctor. But I asked one of the dental assistants if I was the oldest patient and she said that they take people who are in their 40s and 50s even because they feel so comfortable with Dr. Brian! Everyone in the office is amazingly accommodating and I would definitely recommend coming here. He is incredibly friendly and caring. I never got a cavity! I went through getting braces, wisdom teeth and everything! He recommended great orthodontists and oral surgeons to do the job. Ooh, and free sugarless gum and toys for kids after your checkup! read more

We have gone to Dr. Yoshida for years. He is an outstanding and caring dentist and his office is wonderful to work with.

Been a patient of Dr Brian since my youth, and I now bring my children. Such a positive experience for all at each visit, and he clearly explains anticipated dental and orthodontia needs down the road so we're not surprised. His staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and I highly recommend him to any family or individual seeking a new dentist. read more

I was a pediatric patient and have returned as Dr. Yoshida has absorbed his father's adult practice. He is kind, professional, caring, and honest. I had another dental office recommend costly, unnecessary treatment, and after a consult with Dr. Yoshida, I see it's not needed and came back to him! I also bring my young child to Dr. Yoshida, and I found the team to be warm and welcoming, and appreciative of her initial fear. They were so great with her, and seasoned with how to acclimate young children to good oral hygiene. This is definitely the practice to bring your family to! read more

Everyone is always super nice and friendly. Dr Yoshida and his staff are very professional and excel when it comes to dental care for our family. read more

My 2 boys have been seeing Dr. Yoshida for 10+ years. Dr. Yoshida always takes the time to review the X-rays, and to discuss with us what to anticipate based on the teeth growth pattern. Our family dentist referred us to Dr. Yoshida as my son was too young at the time and would not sit still. Dr. Yoshida was able to get my son to cooperate. The office is not flashy state-of-the art, but I like the personable feel. If you have been to offices with assembly-line style, you will know what I mean. My older son is 18+ years old, and still sees Dr. Yoshida. read more

We are glad we switched. You can tell his passion to his work and working with kids. He will give you briefing on your kid's condition and will set a structured plan for the best. read more

Dr Brian is amazing!.. Makes you feel very comfortable at all times. Very open communication about what he is doing how and why. Been going to him for abput 25(?)yrs. Went to hus father before him. Absolutely would recommend read more

Dr.Yoshida is the best dentist my family has ever gone to. We are always seen right away. The staff are kind & gentle. I don't feel like we have ever had unnecessary treatments or work done there. I totally trust him. I was always nervous going to the dentist as a child. My kids don't ever have any fear with their office. I highly recommend Dr Yoshida! read more

My son has been seeing Dr. Yoshida for over 6 years. He's just so wonderful with the kids!!

I was a patient of Dr Yoshida's as a child, and my daughter and I are both patients now too! I haven't found a dentist as good as Dr Yoshida so I've just keep going, even into my 30's. I've had a million cavities and a ton of stress induced jaw pain. I once even called Dr Yoshida from a vacation in Croatia because my teeth hurt and he was able to help me over Skype. No Joke! He will see you immediately if you have urgent pain. His office is super sweet. He has tons of tricks for little kids and didn't mind my 2 yr old having a full out tantrum because he wanted her to open her mouth. read more

My dtr has been seeing Dr. Yoshida for a couple years now through a friend's referral. Very good dentist, thorough and promotes preventative care. Explains the x-rays and wait time is very short. Usually only a couple mins to be seen. We have been to many dentists in the Bay Area since my dtr has had quite few dental issues but since we have been with this dentist her teeth are healthy. read more

Unfortunately, my experience is that this dentist office is quite expensive when I compare my son's dental bills to that of my own or my husband's dental bills for just your basic cleaning. I never realized it before but I was paying 54% more for son's cleanings. My child has been going to Dr. Yoshida for a few years now and he is nice enough. He has a good demeanor and is friendly and all. However, to charge your patients what they do is pretty dissappointing. Especially because their office is nothing special. They have your basic equipment: nothing state-of-the-art. Which is why I don't fully understand the hefty charges. I wish I realized what I was being charged sooner as I would have switched dentists sooner. I just never paid attention. We also recently found out that upon the recommendation of Dr Yoshida, a couple of years ago, to put temporary composites on my child's molars, we found out (from the new dentist) that the composites were put in so poorly that they left pockets underneath where cavities were starting to form. We were able to see this through the xrays that the new dentist took. Had Dr. Yoshida never recommended putting these composites in or at least putting them in correctly, we wouldn't now be faced with having to deal with correcting the issue and having to foot the bill for something that could have been completely avoided - as if putting those composites in in the first place wasn't expensive enough! read more

As usual, the staff at Dr. Brian's office are professional, kind, gentle, friendly. My teeth and mouth feel clean, healthy and well taken care of. read more

I went to this practice myself as a child and Dr. Ralph was my doctor. I'm so happy to be able to bring my daughter back here and have the same great experience with Dr. Brian. Dr. Yoshida is an awesome doctor. He is so patient and gentle with my daughter. She is only 4 and has only had a few visits and is still a little apprehensive. Dr. Yoshida and his staff have made each experience wonderful and each visit we have less tears. Yesterday by the time we left she was skipping out of the office and was all smiles. (Partly due to all the goodies she got after her checkup) read more

I've been coming since I was a kid, and I enjoy each time. Thanks to his advice I have a clean set of teeth. He is gentle and careful when inspecting my mouth. He is also genuinely interested in what is going on in my life. read more

Dr. Brian is the absolute best! I went to him as a child and looked forward to bringing my kids to him. My daughter and son both look forward to each visit. Dr. Brian is informative, welcoming and has such a positive attitude. He teaches the kids the importance of dental health. Wouldn't think about going anywhere else. read more

Each visit is getting better. The staff at Dr. Yoshida's office is wonderful, and are very patient with me and my son. I was at my wits end, but Dr. Yoshida and Lisa were amazing with my son. He came out happy as a clam. I can't thank you guys enough. read more

The best dentist I've ever taken my daughter to, he was very professional, he did a wonderful job on my daughters teeth and was very patient with her, afterwards he explained the work done on her teeth...All the staff at his office are super friendly read more

We love Dr. Yoshida and all of his staff! They are helpful, knowledgeable, and great with little kids.

I've been going to Dr. Yoshida's for at least +15 years (I'm 19). Both my older brother and sister have been going since they were kids. He's awesome! Really comfortable with him, he actually cares about his patients and remembers what we talk about. Yup, Ruth is right! Free toys and candy after getting fluoride. read more

Truly an excellent doctor for little children My husband and I are faithful about going to the dentist every 6 months. We are big believers in preventative care for staying fit and healthy. When my 4 year old started with loose teeth I asked for a recommendation from my dentist, and they recommended Dr. Yoshida. We went for her appointment and both my daughter and I were nervous. I didn't know what to expect and didn't know how I would deal with it if she was upset or terrified. Luckily, we had a very positive experience and my daughter left feeling proud of herself and happy. The whole process didn't take more than a half hour. She had X-rays (4) and then the doctor did an exam of her teeth, a cleaning and flossing. Before he did anything, he showed us the instruments, let her touch them so she knew what they felt like, and told her exactly what he was going to do. He was very patient and gentle, and my daughter did just fine. I sat close by the entire time so she had me near. After we finished, my daughter picked out some toys from the treasure box while the doctor showed me her x-rays and explained what he saw. He was very encouraging and his recommendations made sense. We will be happily be returning to Dr. Yoshida for the next several years. I'm so pleased that my daughter now has set the foundation for a lifetime of positive visits to the dentist. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Yoshida. My children (age 14 and 16) have been with Dr. Yoshida more than 10 years. Now I am also a patient because he is the best dentist I have ever come across. My children never had a single cavity or any other problem with their teeth thanks to his care and expertise. I really appreciate his time and patience explaining to the children and me the changes they are experiencing and how to best take care of their teeth - he even draws pictures to illustrate. I am now switching to Dr. Yoshida because I had a terrible dentist and Dr. Yoshida saved me from a big mistake. He is nice, honest, skilled, super knowledgeable and really cares about his patients and their teeth. Also, he recommended Dr. Kinoshita as my daughter's orthodontist and he is a true master. I am very happy to be in such good hands. read more

What a gem! Doctor Yoshida is a warm, caring, conservative, and highly skilled professional. He is great with your kids; and they love him too!. As a dentist, he is very knowledgable, takes time to explain treatment options, and intervenes with the most conservative, minimally invasive solution. Truly deserves each of his 5 stars!!! read more

Dr Yoshida has been seeing my son for 14 years. He is excellent. My son has never had a cavity. He is so patient and caring. He does an exceptional job. Everyone in his practice is professional and pleasure to work with. He takes the time to explain everything and is very conscientious. read more

Dr Yoshida is so wonderful with my children. They honestly don't mind going to the dentist- and this is coming from a couple kids who had some unfortunate dental work done early in life and have been negative about going to the dentist since. Since seeing Dr Yoshida they feel comfortable going to the dentist and leave saying "that wasn't bad at all!" Besides leaving my children and myself at ease, Dr Yoshida's work is impeccable and my kid's teeth have never looked better! I am very pleased and happy to have found such a wonderful dentist for my children. read more
