Just the very best experience. I always look forward to my visit. Everyone just friendly as can be. The work done always the highest in professionalism. Thorough. Been with them about ten years. My deceased wife also was very pleased. Highly recommend read more

They did not inform me that my insurance was out of there network so I had to pay full price with no insurance covered.

Great team of caring professionals. My family has been served by their team for over 10 years!

This dentist office is fantastic. From check in , to cleaning, exam and insurance docs. They all are great at what the do. Highly recommend read more

Had a dental emergency and knew beforehand I'll be needing a root canal. Arrived for a quick exam that lasted about 30 minutes. They were more interested in upselling solutions for fixing my smile. Whoever the dentist was took a Quick Look and then some photos. In and out in less then 30 minutes. Now they're trying to collect almost $300 for that exam. They're money hungry and would charge you for anything if you decide not to continue with their services read more

I am not a patient at this office, because I live in Southern California, but my 20 year old is in Gilroy for a few months and needed a dentist. My dad and step mom recommended GDA and I have been so pleased with how easy they have made everything from verifying my insurance over the phone, helping my son make his first "adult" dentist appointment, and even with managing payments-the entire staff has been beyond kind, helpful, and professional. read more

Everyone here is very nice and friendly. UNFORTUNATELY, I had to get a filling and I came here as I was out of town and most of my family live in Gilroy. So out of convenience, I came in maybe a total of 4 times. Those were just for standard cleanings. When it came time to get my filling, everything went well. It wasn't until about 6 months later that the filling started to lift and it was uncomfortable in my mouth. It wasn't hurting or anything, but just uncomfortable. Then all of A SUDDEN today I was flossing and poof, the filling came out of my mouth . Very annoyed. Very disappointed that they poorly did the filling in the first place. Now I have to wait until tomorrow, Monday morning to go to a more qualified dentist. In the meantime, I have to live with this exposed hole in my mouth and slight tooth pain. What a great day it is! So in conclusion, DON'T come here if you need a filling. read more

Way late in life, a wisdom tooth previously regarded as unproblematic decided to make a move. It soon damaged the molar in front of it, and my previous dentist didn't catch it when I complained of cold sensitivity. (In fact, he fixed the wrong tooth.) That office's oral surgeon recommended a very costly and invasive process involving extraction of both the wisdom tooth and the molar, and later installing an implant to replace the molar. A 2nd-opinion consult at Stanford Medical School cost me hundreds of dollars and yielded the same recommendation. So before going through all that, I decided to check with Dr. Jerry Mancuso at the conveniently-located and thoroughly-modern Gilroy Dental Associates. He's an ex Navy doc --always a good indication of practicality and solid work that gets the patient back to normalcy quickly. Sure enough: On reviewing my situation, Dr. Mancuso felt there was a decent chance that the molar could be saved, with a crown instead of an extraction-and-eventual-implant. If so: less costly, quicker recovery, and way less fraying of my nerves. If not, well then we'd deal with it. But neither of the two other oral surgeons I'd previously consulted had even raised the possibility of saving the molar. Sold. And Dr. Mancuso could not have been more adept. The wisdom tooth popped right out with his skilled encouragement, and then Dr. Linga Vuppala joined to make quick work of crowning the damaged molar. Today, after a couple more visits for routine cleaning and a cracked-tooth fix, I'm impressed by how everything done in this clinic is a well-choreographed team effort that maximizes my well-being and respects my finances. Great group. I feel very fortunate to have found them right here in Gilroy. Everyone is pleasant too, with abundant humor... I'd say "smiles all around" but that's a pretty worn-out dentist-office pun by now . Yet it's true. read more

Went in with horrible tooth pain, I'm talking throbbing not able to eat almost throwing up it hurt so bad. They saw me and told me to take Tylenol (which I had been taking my weight in and nothing was helping me) and quoted me $1500 to get the tooth pulled. I called back after about an hour of them seeing me to see if there was anything else they could possibly give me to help with the excruciating pain I was in because the Tylenol wasn't doing anything. They said no and if I wanted something else I needed to contact my regular healthcare provider.... I myself work in healthcare and know for a fact they could've helped me out...TERRIBLE customer service. If you want to go to a dentist that cares don't go here read more

Professional dentistry at its finest in Gilroy love it they treated myself as well as my son down from college efficently wiuld highly recommend....Raul read more

I have neglected my teeth for too long. The people here put my mind at ease. Everyone was friendly and professional. I really liked that I was able to approve my dental quote prior to having any work done. I had to bring my little one with, and it was not an issue at all. Very happy with this place, I have found my new dentist. I had to wait for 20 minutes for my scheduled appointment, thus only 4 stars. Other than that, it would have been a solid 5 star. read more

I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in. The reception staff were friendly, and my dental hygienist (Elysa, I think) was very professional, friendly and answered all my questions! I was nervous since I hadn't been to a dentist in 17 years. The doctor was also very friendly and appeared to be genuinely sympathetic and caring. I had my teeth cleaned once I had my x-rays, etc. done. I left with a clean mouth, feeling at peace knowing that I had been treated with care and respect. read more

I've been going to this place for couple years now and I enjoy the staff being super nice and assuring every time I go for a check up or other things. They always ask me how I have been doing and starting small conversations that I really enjoy while getting my teeth cleaned. Big thank you to veronica for helping me fit with my night guard! She was super sweet and made sure the night guard fit well with my teeth! There were other staffs as well that I enjoy talking to (I just don't remember their names..) thank you guys! read more

This place is terrible! For starters they injected my sister with numbing medication and then left her or should I say forgot about her for over an hour to the point that the numbing solution was gone and they had to re inject her. 2 I had some fillings done there that "came out" so they said they would re do them at no charge but still charged me ! I smell FRAUD ! THEN I called to tell them I have dual coverage and they informed me that I was no longer covered by my mother!. Come to find out I still am ! They did no research or anything just assumed I wasn't covered . Front desk is HORRIBLE !! read more

I have had a couple bad experiences at this location. The first time I brought it my daughter and I was recommended to see the oral surgeon and when I scheduled the appointment i was told that It was complementary. When having no insurance the cost is very important. So We came in for the oral surgeon and they took some xrays with out asking if it was ok. So when we checked out they wanted me pay over 500 dollars. So they had made a mistake when booking the appointment and it turns out the is a charge plus the xrays that were taken with out my consent. Luckily I took the name of the girl who schedule me for the appointment and told them she said no charge for consultation. They made me pay anyway. I was told I could talk to the manager but they did not get back to me. I had to wait for days before someone got back to me. After a long conversation with the office manager she game credit for the consultation they only made me paid the xrays. I have experience working in a Dental office for over 15 years. They had to inform me of the charge for the xray before they take it. So they failed to do that. I had to pay for something that was not discussed ahead of time so that was wrong on their end. So the next time I brought my daughter to get an regular exam cleaning and cleaning I asked for the price they said $450.00. So I know ahead of time. I took her to the appointment and this time what caught my attention was that when The dentist walked into the room he immediately looked at the xrays and said wow you have a lot of cavities, when he had not even glanced at her mouth. To me that is a big red flag because same thing based on my experience you do not make a diagnose without doing and exam, he had not even done a scaling on her teeth... so she got diagnosed with 9 cavities some mod's witch mean big cavities in 3 different areas of the same tooth. They gave me a treat plan to pay for close to 3K for the cavities to be filled. I had a bad feeling about this whole experience and so I contacted 2 of the dentist I used to work for. They both said my daughter had no cavities and they even consulted with another collage of theirs to triple check. So with this, I totally lost all trust. They are all for the money, not for patients care. I wouldn't come back for any dentistry work! They are not honest and they lack many things and most important humanity. If you go here make sure you take a second opinion elsewhere before doing any work there. They are after your money. read more

The staff are friendly and professional. The dentists and hygienist continue to be excellent. Everything about the office is top notch. I have been getting great dental care here for many years and will stay with them for the foreseeable future. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of excellent dental care. read more

I can honestly say I had a wonderful experience from a very caring and professional staff. I hadn't seen a dentist for at least 5 years and I felt well cared for and respected. The hygienist (whose name was Diane I think) cleaning was done by hand thoroughly and gently. She explained every procedure perfectly. The front office person whose name I forget was very professional as well. She thoroughly explained the billing and was great at finding me my next 2 appts. It's rare to feel comfortable at a place that normally evokes anxiety. I can't recommend them enough! read more

I have visited this dentist for many years, and the staff in this office are all friendly and keep the office always clean and comfortable. And Dr. Vuppala is always extremely kind and in polite manner with explanation of appropriate treatment policy and Dr. Mancuso gave me a sense of trust by clear explanations and excellent performance on my treatment (surgery, this time), so I could receive treatments with peace of mind. Thank you. read more

Just had my teeth cleaned by Nancy Torres, I was overdue for a cleaning and she hand scaled my entire mouth, I prefer that over the scaling machine. I didn't even ask, she just knew what would work best. She was so personable, I really enjoyed chatting with her. When the doctor did the exam, she didn't try to oversell treatment. This office never disappoints! read more

Just when you thought going to the dentist would be scary, Gilroy Dental Associates would make you think otherwise!! Dr. Vuppala and his girls are genuinely welcoming to me and my family. I previously was in the care of South Bay dental in San Jose, which now under a whole different ownership. They were okay but very unorganized and always had me waiting too long. Every time I walk into Gilroy Dental Associates I feel like I'm in and out! At the same time I feel that the front desk girls really wanna make sure I'm properly taken care of ! Veronica and Laura go above and beyond to make sure I'm fully comfortable on the chair, and Daisy would have me cracking up laughing making me forget I'm even at a dentist office, and Ashley, I gotta is probably one of the sweetest scheduler I've ever met. She knows exactly what she's doing. I love it there and I highly recommend it to all locals and out of town folks! read more

I have been living in Gilroy for 3yrs now and this is my fist time in a dentist office in the area. Let me start off by saying I have many dentists in my time, from area in Palo Alto to San Jose. Gilroy Dental Associates hands down is one of the best I've had the pleasure of going to. The office is very clean and tidy. The staff is quick to great, very polite and provided all the needed forms to sign. My appointment was on time with no issues. My dental technician (not sure of the correct term) was the high light of the experience. Her name was Rupal. She was amazing. She made me feel comfortable, explained in great detail all the procedures and just had an interest in who I was. We even got to practice speaking Russian, which I enjoyed. Her cleaning style was gentle yet thorough, which if anyone knows is pretty hard to achieve, but she knocked it out. Overall, I highly recommend this establishment. Gilroys finest! read more

While the staff here is friendly trying to get answers to questions for your childrens care is impossible. My husband and I have been calling for weeks to get answers about our child's braces that were put on our child's teeth with no consultation to the plan of care with either of us. We keep calling to ask questions and no one responds. Very frustrating. Be careful if you choose this group. read more

The Staff and Doctor at this office is a joy to work with! Cheryl B. always does a great job on my cleaning! Been going to this office for close to 10 years. Thank you Gilroy Dental Associates!! read more

Dr. V and his staff are great! I feel the dental hygienist are outstanding and really are the backbone of this office. I always feel comfortable and at ease when my teeth are being cared for. I especially enjoy that Nancy Torres, she is a hoot! And so professional. It's as though I am being cared for by a family member; you just know you're in good hands when you are in her chair. Now, I have never had major work on my teeth, so I can't speak to that. read more

This review is for Dr. Kinberly Antrim - she is amazing! I came to her over 2 years ago because I had bitten into a crab shell (which is frowned upon) causing extreme, agonizing pain. Well, that extreme, agonizing pain turned into a deep cleaing with no relief and then a (two day) root canal. I won't disclose which tooth, but it's a pretty big and visible one. Dr. Antrim and her staff were beyond accommodating and patient with me. The crown looks so real and hasn't given me any problems. If it wasn't for them I'd probably toothless and miserable. Scheduling appoinments is fairly easy, if you have an open schedule. They also remind you about your appointments like crazy (phone call, email and text). New patients and a yelp check in will get you $256 off which includes free necessary x-rays, new patient examination and consultation. Great deal for those who have sketchy dental insurance. This dental office is very clean and calming. It helps with the anxiety of seeing the dentist, because as "they" say, "most people wait till it's too late." read more

Fantastic people from office to professional staff! Lost a crown and had an appointment within 24 hrs. Highly recommended!

I came here on a recommendation of a co worker years ago. 1. The staff was always friendly. 2. Never had to wait long for an appointment. 3. The dental assistants were VERY good at telling you Exactly what they were doing, when they were doing it and WHY they were doing it. They asked if you have questions and make you feel comfortable. 4. The doctor was excellent. He was also very informative and gentle. 5. I never left this place in any pain or frightened to come back. I only wished my current insurance would cover my visits here. *Enter big SAD face here* read more

And I am still getting a bill for $7 after all the money they cost me. I have called the office SIX times over the course of 4 months and each time I have been assured that they will take care of it. Today I received another bill for $7 PLUS 50 cents for a finance charge. read more

I'm a travel nurse working a one month contact at St. Louise regional hospital and my tooth chipped while eating. Well I use yelp when I travel and read reviews to help me decide about especially doctors and dentists. This place is awesome, everyone is so professional especially the dentist that examine me. I highly recommend Gilrory dental associates. Thanks everyone read more

My experience in coming to this office has been superb! Leslie, who cleans my teeth is gentle but thorough. I have a very sensitive mouth and she has even recommended a great product to help my dryness. Because of the dryness problems, I have needed a lot of work done in the past year. Both Dr. Nishimura and Dr. Wu were gentle and did a good job. Even when getting anesthetized, (the needle) each assistant was so gentle, there was no pain.) Most recently, I needed two crowns replaced and Veronica (I am not sure of her professional title) did most of the work. She is excellent! As mentioned by other reviewers, the staff is always letting you know what they are doing and why. Having dental work done makes us feel very vulnerable, but I can put my complete trust in them. And yes, the front office does a commendable job too! Why would anyone want to go someplace else? This office is the best! Thank you Dr. Nishimura for developing a dental practice that really caters to your patients every need...especially us dentalphobes! read more

Gilroy Dental Associates is like a well oiled machine. From the second you walk in the door the personnel is welcoming and warm. We have our favorite hygienist (Cheryl), but there are many wonderful hygienists to choose from. We have just had a perfect experience with Dr. Vuppala and would recommend him to any one of our family members or friends. read more

The staff are amazing! I have had a lot of dental experiences and by far this one has been the best. I have never left a cleaning feeling like a two year old who has just been lectured about properly flossing. I used to dread going to cleanings and the inevitable 'talk' that would occur afterwards. Now? I have no hesitations and tend to leave feeling like I'm doing good with my teeth. I would not leave this dental office even if my insurance stopped being accepted. read more

This dental office is amazing, friendly, thorough and genuine. All the staff take the time to get to know you, and make you feel welcome. My most recent visit was with Laura Ines and she was simply awesome, very gentle, professional, knowledgeable and explained every step of the way to make me fee comfortable. She made the adjustments needed to correct my bite from previous fillings done.. I recommend her and this dental office to everyone I know! read more

I've been coming to this dental office since 2010, and couldn't be happier with the service and the quality of work. I have been worked on by more than one dentist at this office, and all of them have gone out of there way to explain what they are going to do and why. It's comforting to be shown the x-ray and to have the dentist explain what the problem is. The front office staff is also very friendly and conversational. They also play movies for you while they are working on your teeth, which helps to make the horrible chore of getting your teeth filled a little bit less miserable. Overall, I highly recommend this dentist if you are looking for a new one. read more

Always friendly, no long waiting. Great attitudes with all staff and dentist.

Love my hygienist Cheryl. Both Dr Nishamura and Dr Vuppala are great dentists. I have had both of them work on my teeth and been extremely happy. Office staff are always nice and billing is easy to work with for setting up payments and working with your insurance. read more

I have been a patient of Gilroy Dental Associates for over 20 years now. I have never been disappointed about the service I have received all these years. I fell in love with this dentistry the first time Dr. Nishimura had to give me a novacaine shot in preparation of getting a cavity taken care of that appointment. He was so gentle that I hardly knew that I was getting the injection. I have NEVER had a Novocain given to me before or after Dr Gary Nishimura. His staff are all professional at what their duties of responsibility are in the office. I also love my hygienist whom I have been with now almost ten years. Kathy S read more

Thank you to Cheryl for her patience and for not floss shaming me! I will keep coming back as long as she is my hygienist. the office staff is friendly and helpful and all questions are answered quickly. read more

Dr. Vuppala deserves 10 stars +. He is so detailed, a lot of understanding and patience. Simply everything a 11 year old, who was extremeley nervous to get root canal and folings done, needs. I am transfering my younger daughter to him, myself and my husband. He deserves my services. read more

The dentists, assistants and hygienists at Gilroy Dental Associates are GREAT! We've lived in Gilroy for 10 years and our first dentist (Dr. Laveroni) was horrible, to the point were we would rather not go to the dentist al all! I received a flyer in the make for Dr. Nishimura and associates and took a chance!! I'm So glad I did. From the start (just making the appointments) I felt welcomed and part of the family! The Gilroy Dental associates made us feel very welcome very comfortable, they made sure we understand everything that needed to be done, the cost(which was very reasonable) and ensured that during each procedure we were very comfortable and felt absolutely no pain. I highly recommend the Gilroy Dental associates. if you're not currently a patient you really should be! read more
