My friend would always speak about how great her dentist is and when I moved to the area, I changed my dentist to Dr. Brad Walker. Best dental office ever, Dr. Walker is such an amazing person, so professional, kind and the office staff is professional, kind, welcoming, I love his dental assistants and the office environment you feel like you're at home it's cozy and peaceful. I am almost 50 and have always disliked my teeth but LOVE to smile and Dr. Walker encouraged me to fix my teeth and it was the BEST thing I ever did for myself, and I am forever grateful! It was financially reasonable, so worth it, a smooth treatment and all I do is smile. I also go for cleanings and my teeth are in great shape. Thank you, Dr. Wlaker and team! read more

W Dentistry: Dr. Brad A Walker, DDS - Best investment ever! - General Dentistry Near Me - San Jose, California

Incredible experience from start to finish. The entire staff was awesome. Dr Walker was extremely personable, professional, and great with the kiddos. I'm excited that I've found my family dentist from here on out. read more

15+ years ago I was referred to Dr. Walker by a good friend of mine. Over these years he has always provided excellent care, insights and advice for me and my children. His professionalism and honesty saved us thousands of dollars and MANY headaches when my children had teeth issues that needed to be addressed. Some dentists are driven by profits. Dr. Walker's mission in life is much bigger than that and the way he treats his patients bears that out. read more

Hands down the best dental experience of all time!! Staff was exceptionally friendly and Dr. Walker was truly professional, honest and hilarious!! I wouldn't hesitate recommending this office to anyone. A very friendly and relaxing environment. read more

Dr Brad Walker is the first dentist in my life that I actually trust. Trust in his judgment to do what's best for me. He's kind, funny and very open minded. He always has taken steps beyond normal to alleviate my apprehension and anxiety I get from going to the dentist (I think I'm permanently scarred from a childhood dentist lol) I just recently visited another dentist in an emergency situation and it reminded me why I love Dr.Walker. He has shown me time and time again he's the only dentist for me. The place I just visited saw an opportunity to make money $$ by trying to convince me to get a two root canals, some bone graphs and more..simply because I got an abscess that appeared suddenly that might of been caused by my immunotherapy I just recently started. Other than that, no symptoms of needing that much surgery in one go, as the teeth in question are functionally sound. Granted they've been weakened by my condition. Dr.Walker and I both know I have some bad teeth that will eventually need work. I'll be needing a bridge and perhaps a crown on another set of teeth but as his and my philosophy has always been, when it's due time. So when it's time, I'll trust Dr.Walker implicitly. Seriously, you can't find another Dentist out there with his level of compassion and his staff is 5 star rated as well. read more

I've been going to Dr. Walker for years for regular cleanings. Recently I broke my two front teeth and I'd like to say that Dr. Brad is an absolute miracle worker. I can't imagine a more incredible doctor. I would highly recommend him to anybody. read more

The filling was out in exactly 5 month later while I was in Portugal.I was in horrible pain which ruined my vacation.When I got back I had a root canal procedure done. Terrible experience :( read more

Just a word of warning - you might be lucky and get a very good experience or you might get a horrible experience like I did. This review is for a series of visits about five or six years ago and while it's not current, I think potential patients still have a right to know. I went in to Dr. Walker with some issues and I am not going to argue that they weren't real. In the first series of mishaps, I had a broken tooth that needed a root canal and Dr. Walker did it himself. I had never had a root canal before so I didn't even know I should have insisted upon going to an endodontist. Regardless, a few weeks later, a zit appeared on the side of my gum next to the tooth which meant the root canal "failed" and I needed another one. At this point, I had paid over $1000 (my portion after insurance) for the root canal and crown. Being that my insurance was used up, I had to foot the entire bill for the second root canal AND pay to have the crown repaired This was the first bad experience. The second bad experience was when I went in to have a cavity taken care of on another tooth. During the drilling out of the cavity, the tooth broke which meant I had to get a crown. While wearing the temporary crown, the root ended up getting exposed which required another root canal. After shelling out the cash for the root canal, I was stupid and proactive, paying for the crown before it was actually fitted. He had done the build up but no crown had been ordered yet because I was recovering from the root canal. At this point, I started getting a bill from his office stating I owed them money (less than $50) when in fact I had a positive balance!! When I called to ask them what was going on, the receptionist or whatever her role was fixed it so I'd stop getting bills but at this point, it was too late - I had lost all faith in his office. I cancelled my follow up and started looking for another dentist but when I requested my money be returned to me (the $900 I paid for the crown), I was ignored and then denied. Instead, I got a letter from Dr. Walker saying he shouldn't be blamed for any issues with my teeth and he's done so much already, he should just finish the tooth in question. I'm sorry but I didn't want him near my teeth ever again. I get that my teeth had issues but the fact that I had to pay for a second root canal because Dr. Walkers's root canal failed due to HIM not removing all of the root AND pay him to fix the crown due to his inability to perform a root canal correctly is an incredibly shady business practice to me. And then to have something minor go horribly wrong and cost me even money only to have him keep my hard earned money for a service he didn't perform makes me incredibly wary of letting him do any kind of work on anyone I know. In fact, my friend who referred him to me and was a patient of his for several years stopped going to him and taking her kids to him because of what happened to me. If you've had a great experience, fantastic - I'm very happy for you. But if you are new or one of the poor souls he suggests he should do a root canal on - I strongly recommend refusing and going to someone who specializes in root canals rather than chance it. And don't ever pay for a service in advance - you may never see that money again. read more

I was referred to Dr. Walker by a few co-workers of mine a good...three or so years ago. It's been smooth sailing since - The staff are always super friendly and the doctor himself is rad to the tenth power. On my very first visit he took one look at my x-ray and randomly said, "With a jaw like that you could take a hell of a punch." That was all I needed to hear - you see, I actually am an avid kickboxer and as soon as I told him that he's made sure to always check in and make sure I'm not experiencing any pains or abnormalities that could be associated with my full time hobby. He's even offered to take an exact mold of my teeth and have a custom mouth piece. Unfortunately my insurance won't cover that, but he did give me his opinion on the best and worst mouthpieces available for retail. He's never done me wrong and the one time I did have a cavity, he didn't want me to take his word for it - he actually showed me. The guy is a professional and remembers all of his clients which kind of makes you feel like you're a long time friend every time you come in for an appointment. I can't recommend Dr. Walker enough and hope that if you're in search for a competent and well versed dentist, you give his office a call for a future appointment. read more

My teeth are SUPER sensitive and with my previous dentist I always had to be numbed, even for cleanings. Dr Brad knew how freaked out I was about working with a new dentist when I came in and did everything he could to put me at ease. He walked me thru every step he had to make, clearly explaining everything he had to do. I have had 2 cleanings now and haven't needed any numbing. Also had a bridge put in and got thru it without any issue. Dr Brad is gentle, kind and provides great care to his patients. I now have my family going to him too. read more

I went to Dr. Walker about 10 years ago, and had a great experience--including having a crown (my first) on a lower-right molar. In fact every visit from that time period went very well. Great care, and a welcoming environment both in the chair and in the reception area. But then, we decided to switch dentists based on a recommendation my wife received from a friend. The switch was more to do with the friendship than anything else. Well, after several years of adequate service for routine dental work, I had a crown done with this other dentist. Not only did the temp crown fall out several days later, the final crown never sat right and had to be redone. Several other experiences occurred that were less than satisfactory (including my wife and this doctor's receptionist not getting along--which was very odd!) PLUS horror stories surfaced from friends who had also had bad experiences with this other dentist--and we realized it was time to go back to Dr. Walker--where we felt welcome, cared for and received the best service. It's been over a year now, and I can't tell you how great it feels to have my family's dental care back where it belongs--with Dr. Brad Walker and his staff! read more

Brad and the staff are awesome! They do excellent work, and Brad is understanding of my anxiety issues and helps me through each visit/procedure. I've moved farther and farther away over the years but I still make the drive down. read more

I Love going to my dentist!!! Dr. Brad is the best!! He listens to everything you are concerend with.  The girls here make you feel so comfortable. Everyone is very kind and professional.  If you want an office where the staff is gentle and kind, then this is the place to go. read more

I like Yelp, I use it a lot. I use it to find a good place to eat, to find a great place to buy a bed. However, I never write reviews. More than a handful of my co-workers had Recommended Brad Walker as an honest reliable dentist. So when I chipped one of my front teeth and my normal dentist was closed for spring break. I decided to give him a shot. Only he didn't have any yelp reviews? Oh well, more then one person around here recommends him.. let's call. I decided after my visit that Dr Walker needed a great review under his name and I am the one to do it! So here it goes, my second review I have ever posted on Yelp..... I was told by the receptionist that they didn't have time to do any work. But she would like me to come in between a couple of their appointments so the doc could see what needed to be done. I was warmly greeted upon entering and after only waiting about 5 minutes I was given a very polite "I apologize for the wait, it shouldn't be long now". (Why are they apologizing to me? I am the one being seen in between appointments. they did me the favor? That is nice) A few minutes after that I was greeted by Mr Brad Walker. Who after looking at my tooth stated "You can't walk around with your grill looking like that? Let's get that filled now". (Did he just say "Grill"? I'm not to sure about this guy....) We walked in the back and I sat in the chair. Dr Walker went to work explaining to me what he was doing every step of the way. A very quick half an hour later not only was the chip I walked in there for good as new. But he helped shape another chip I had as well! He then said to me "When you see this, you will think I am the bomb" He gave me a mirror and you know what? I think he is the bomb! He is funny and highly competent. Who knew those two qualities could come together in a dentist. Thank you Dr Walker and staff for a pleasant, fun visits to the dentist. I will be back. Sincerely, Your new patient. read more

How many years now? It must be at least 20 years I've been going to see Dr. Walker. In my view, he exemplifies professionalism. By that I mean that he is a master of his craft, not just a practitioner. The confidence and care with which he approaches his work translates into confidence in him. He discusses exam results and renders his opinion about what needs to be done, what can wait, and what might present a problem in the future so that the decision process is clear and easy, and without any force or pressure. His staff is also professional and courteous and has been over the years, without exception. Five stars accurately represents my experience with Dr. Walker and his office. Highly recommended. read more

I sent my kids father to Dr Brad after hearing about his work from other friends. Dr Brad paid great attention to his needs and when he was done, he couldn't stop smiling because he loved how clean his teeth felt. Thank you Dr Brad for taking care of him, his teeth and my pockets since this was a birthday gift which I hope he will appreciate for a long time. read more

I love Brad and I don't like anyone. Years ago, I had a bad experience with a dentist where he couldn't get me numb. Brad lived around the corner from me so I walked over and explained my problem. He told me to come to the office the next day and he would take care of it. He did and I have been going back for 15-20 years. I'm still terrified of the drill but I would never go anywhere else, regardless of what my insurance says. I've made him promise to not retire until I drop dead. read more

This is the worst dentist that I've ever had! doctor Walker filled a back tooth he did NOT inform me he would be filling after I was numb and unable to decipher what was happening. This tooth was at least 4 or 5 teeth away from the tooth I was having problems with and without my permission or even discussing another tooth that I had NO idea needed work he worked on an additional tooth unbeknownst to me. The additional money is one thing but the deception of this "dentist" is unbelievable, much like a used car salesman, but I would never insult a used car salesman by comparing him to this dentist "doctor" Walker to say the least. THEN when I had problems with the work he did on both teeth the other dentist that did the repairs and actually knew what he was doing said it was the worst work he'd seen. YOU have been warned! read more

We've been seeing Dr. Walker for years & years! His office is impeccably clean, he is a great dentist with high integrity and amazing skills. You will love him and his staff ! read more

Thanks for the great smile Dr. Walker! Let me start by saying I'm not a fan of going to the dentist but my teeth while in good shape were a little crooked so I went to Dr. Walker to find out about Invisalign braces. His office is really great. Nicely decorated and comfortable. Its like walking into a friends living room. The welcoming and professional staff put me right at ease . Dr. Walker did an exam and gave me all the options (without pressure) and I decided to have him create a beautiful smile with Invisalign. Every appointment went like clockwork. His assistant is amazing and the doctor is super gentle. After only 9 months I have a beautiful smile and a relationship with Dr. Walker's Office for life. I highly recommend him!!! read more

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Walker for over 20 years. Between my husband and I, the condition of our teeth has required very intricate and detailed dental work. Dr. Walker has designed dental appliances that are extraordinary and durable. All of the crowns I have are perfectly matched with each other, and his technical skills provide the least amount of discomfort. I'm sure the "bad" reviews have more to do with personal issues of the reviewer related to experiences with other dentists, or, resentment about not wanting to pay their bill; Dr Walker is an excellent dentist who is always available to help and worth every penny of his fees. read more

Spent my life hating my teeth. Hating dental care. My childhood was filled with what I now know to be bad dental care. When I went to Dr. Walker I told him exactly that. He understood and made me feel at ease. He listened, which is the most important thing. Now I have a dentist that I look forward to seeing. I know that his treatment and advice will make me healthy, and he has taken the time to get to know me. The staff is great and efficient. I've never had to wait. I can't imagine a better dentist. read more

Dr Walker isn't just a dentist, he's a down to earth man who prides himself not just on excellent dentistry, but on really caring for his patients and the community. He is honest, will tell you what needs to be done, and help you prioritize what is most important within your budget. This man makes you feel as though you are a guest in his home! A health minded person, with a servant's heart (and a great singing voice)! read more

Best dentist I've ever had! My family and I have been seeing Dr. Walker for about five years now. He is super friendly, honest, and will tell you funny stories while you sit in the chair. All the office ladies are great too. Zero complaints. Always happy to go. read more

I was referred to Dr. Walker some 15 years ago. Although my company has moved me to a location in Livermore and after buying a house in Castro Valley, I refuse to look for a dentist closer to home. You won't find a better dentist. I travel substantially with work and have spent at times way too much time between visits. As a result the "Doc" has salvaged more than one situation that would have, in most cases, resulting in losing a tooth. Amazing skills, and quite the comedian too. Go see him. read more

I wanted to post my review AGAIN regarding Dr Brad Walker but first I wanted to say that the first time I wrote this it was not listed and was put at the bottom as "not recommended" by Yelp.....not sure why since I didn't bash him like someone else did but yet her's was posted so let me try this again. This is the BEST Dentist EVER!! It had been several years since I had been to the dentist because of so many bad experiences, but my co-worker talked me into going to him...I'm sure glad I did!! He is the most skilled, compassionate and caring Dentist I've ever gone to. He has a way of putting you at ease. Him and his staff are just the absolute best and every chance I get I tell others how afraid I once was, and how now I no longer have that fear to sit in that chair. Sometimes I can even let him work on me without numbing the area. Thank you Dr Walker for helping me get over that fear!! You're the best!!! read more

Dr. Walker is a great dentist. He and his staff are welcoming and very friendly. My mom and I would definitely recommend him if you're looking for a new dentist! read more

I am 38 years old and have been seeing Doctor Walker for over fifteen years along with my husband. We are both very pleased with his services. He is more than competent and we have never had any problems with our insurance being billed or unexplained additional expenses. He explains all the work that he will be performing in your mouth and also adds a little sense of humor to it. I also was referred to him by a friend who has been seeing him for a period longer than I have. I trust him with my mouth and once my children get a little older they will begin seeing him as well. read more

Dr. Brad's office is very clean and soothing, he and his staff do an incredible job at making people feel comfortable. Which is great, since most people have an aversion of going to the dentist! They do family dentistry too, so good for kids. He is one of the most highly trained and experienced dentists I know. He offers invisalign and other corrective and cosmetic services in addition to general dentistry. Plus easy free parking in the back! Thanks Dr. Brad, I love my smile! read more

Walker used to be my family dentist. You think you could trust the guy after meeting him at a church. After him putting a crown build-up on my tooth before telling me that the rest of the crown would cost me $400 out of pocket, and then causing me to need a root canal on that same tooth due to the bad crown build-up, and him also recommending to my mom that she needs multiple crowns, we had to get another opinion. The next dentist laughed at Walkers diagnosis, told us we do not need crowns, or fillings, and only one filling repair for me that hardly cost me a thing. Too bad we already spent thousands at Walkers office due to him lying so he could charge our insurance up, and cost us a ton out of pocket. This guys is known for saying everything needs a crown, and doing tons of un-necessary work. Watch out. read more

I started going to Dr. Brad Walker about a year and a half ago and couldn't be happier. When you walk in, the office is soothing and calm and the front desk staff make sure to make you feel welcomed. I had a cavity that needed to be filled and Dr. Brad gave me the option to go without numbing my mouth, which was great because as a chiropractor I had patients to see right after the appointment. He is thorough, efficient and manages to perform the procedures necessary without the pain and irritation. Plus he is cognizant of his patients and their needs. I have since sent my mother to him who is extremely picky and she is happy as well. read more

Dr Walker is the best! This was my first visit to him and he was extremely gentle and very professional. I got my teeth cleaned and a filling and it was literally painless. I highly recommend Dr Brad to all my friends and family. read more

Wow! Brad Walker is a great dentist. I finally took the advice of a friend and switched to Dr Walker. I was having a nightmare at my former dentist. It is funny because I didn't realize how truly awful my old dentist was. It is like when you are in a bad relationship and you don't realize how bad it is until you meet someone that treats you right. He is thorough, super pleasant and honest. He won't recommend stuff you don't need. His office is tranquil and is staff is super nice. I wish I could add more stars. read more

March 28, 2016 This is the first time that I have posted a review on "Yelp". However, I recently had such a positive dentistry experience with Dr. Brad W. Walker, DDS that I wanted to take the time to commend him for all that he did for me. He is truly a professional and I would recommend him highly. When I first went in to see Dr. Walker in October 2015, I was in a lot of chronic pain from one of my "molars", which I had been dealing with for approximately eight months. When I started having this tooth pain in March of 2015, I went to my primary dentist who recommended that I go to a periodontist. Upon his referral, I scheduled an appointment with the periodontist. After my evaluation, he indicated that he did not see a periodontal problem and diagnosed that the tooth needed to be pulled. He, therefore, referred me to an oral surgeon. Went to the oral surgeon and after a series of x-rays, he indicated my tooth was healthy and did not need to be extracted. He referred me to an endodontist for a root canal. I had the root canal done the same day. About a week later my tooth was absolutely no better and the endodontist who did the root canal sent me in for a CT scan. The CT scan indicated that there was a hidden canal that was not visible on the X-rays and was also not visible during the root canal; therefore, a week later I went back to him to have more surgery to remove this hidden root. I was so positive and hopeful that this was going to resolve the problem; however, soon afterwards my tooth was even more painful. I went back to the endodontist who did the root canal and surgery. He said that he was "very sorry", but had done everything he could. He then wished me luck, and sent me on my way. After going to four different dentists, I really got the feeling that no one wanted to deal with my problem and they just kept referring me to another dentist. Fortunately, a good friend recommended me to Dr. Brad Walker. On the first visit he listened to me and took notes......then came up with a plan. It was so nurturing and helpful to know that I finally found a dentist that I knew was going to work with me until this problem was resolved. It is obvious that this is his professional nature and I knew I finally was in good hands. He has a wonderful chair-side manner and everything he attempted was explained to me in detail. For a couple of months Dr. Walker attempted to re-adjust my bite to see if that might be causing the problem. I went in for at least five adjustments and he never charged me. The adjustments would give me temporary relief - unfortunately, the pain always returned. I also want to commend his receptionist, Yolanda, who was always so supportive and fit me into Dr. Walker's schedule whenever it was necessary. The day finally came when he knew there were absolutely no further alternatives, and encouraged me to have the tooth extracted. He explained his reasoning in great detail as to what would be done and what my options would be after the extraction (by the way, along with his explanations, he does great hand-drawn diagrams). We both agreed that it would be best to have an implant. Dr. Walker referred me to an incredibly talented Periodontal & Implant professional who totally agreed with Dr. Walker's assessment. I had my tooth extracted and the implant put in on February 5, 2016. Within a couple of weeks the area was totally free of pain. I now feel totally liberated and can't give enough accolades to Dr. Walker for his professionalism and support. I am pain free!!!!! M. Smith read more

I am such a fan of Dr. Walker, and his office staff, of course! I came to Dr. Walker by way of a recommendation from a professional colleague. I needed a new dentist because, I was so distraught with the dentist I had. Dr. Walker renewed my faith in dentists. Dr. Walker's skill at dentistry is excellent, he is respectful of patients, and his office staff is always pleasant and professional. I enjoy going to the dentist..and you will too if go see Dr. Walker! read more

Dr. Walker is simply the best. I avoided dentists for years, then I found Dr. Walker. He explains things before they happen, makes sure I am comfortable in the chair, explains why things are being done, and the work is painless. Recently, he suggested I have some work done without numbing my gums. He said the work would not hurt, and even though he worked on my teeth for a good twenty minutes, not one bit of pain. This person knows what he is doing. read more

Husband and I went to him on the advice of a friend. Dr. Walker is nice and easy to get along with. Don't let that fool you. Unfortunately, his ability to do a thorough exam and do filings leave a lot to be desired. I had a filing done, but he had to redo it twice and it was incredibly painful both times, like he couldn't figure out how to numb my tooth. Then on the next year visit, he claimed I had a cavity in a back molar and when he went to numb it, he shot the Novocain in so fast my jaw line was burning with nerve pain that lasted 3 days and I couldn't complete the procedure. By then I was done with Dr. Walker. I went to another dentist, who asked his office to send my xrays but alas, Dr. Walker didn't have digital ones (like most modern offices these days) and sent unreadable negatives. So the new dentist took new xrays found there was nothing in this molar to be fixed at all. After moving to a new state, both my husband and I are seeing a another new dentist who revealed on xrays and cameras multiple issues on my husbands teeth that Dr. Walker never pointed out because he never did a thorough exam or xrays. I am glad we bailed and only wish we'd done so sooner. Being personable doesn't make up for subpar dental work. I rarely write negative reviews about anyone but I am making an exception in this case as his negligence is likely to cause harm to other patients. read more

I have visited many doctors in my life but it's the first time I feel taken by a dentist. I went to Brad Walker's office for a consultation about a cracked tooth I had. I was referred to him by one of his customers and for this reason he assured me that he won't charge visit fees. The doctor asked me if I wanted him to remove the moving part of my tooth. I agreed. Without anesthesia he removed it in three seconds. Obviously, it was just a small part of my tooth on the surface which I could have pulled myself. To my surprise I discovered later that he milked my insurance for a full tooth extraction. Months later (due to the fact that his secretary Yolanda had put down on our file a wrong address - different from the one I gave them when I filled in the paperwork) I received a bill for the visit too. Not only he milked my insurance for something he didn't do, he charged consultation fees (remember, I wouldn't get charged for this because I was a referral!?) but he also added INTEREST on this amount. When I called his office his secretary told me that it was up to him. She called back to tell me that these charges won't be waved. When I told her about the fact that it was not an extraction but the doctor charged for a full tooth extraction, she replied that she'll put a note about it. I paid the charges because I didn't want to deal with them any longer but I seriously feel taken by this dentist. The doctor who really treated this tooth with a root canal, post and core and filling, didn't take as much as Brad Walker did. I wouldn't recommend this dentist to anyone. It seems to me that he cares more about the money rather than his patients. read more
