Dr. Lambert is the best dentist I have ever been to (and I've been to many). He is friendly, knowledgeable, and talented. For example, he caught a very rare condition on my wife's tooth and managed to save it. I came to him after going to another dentist who said I needed eight fillings but she'd only charge me for five--she had great reviews on Yelp but that didn't seem right at all; so I went to Lambert for a second opinion and it was clear (and has been in the year and a half since) that the other dentist was a scam. I'm very glad to make the long drive over to Dr. Lambert's. The quality of care and the generosity of him and his wonderful staff is just outstanding. He is the warmest and clearest medical professional I have found. I wish I could give him 10 stars! read more

What can I say? Nothing but honesty and integrity at this place which is hard to find in a dentist. Dr. Lambert tells it like it is and his assistants are wonderful. If you are looking for a state of the art dental office, with the latest gadgets (flat screens all over the place, fancy bathrooms, fancy furniture, sleek deep cleaning robots, etc.), this is not the place for you as those types of dental offices are forced to find something wrong in your mouth in order to pay for the upgrades. This is just a nice clean dental office that doesn't treat their patients mouth like piggy banks. read more

Thanks Yelpers! I found Dr. Lambert here and I was not lead astray. Dr. Lambert was just as outstanding as all of the reviews!

Hands down the best dentist I have been to. He has always taken the time to explain what is going on with 'digits', good or bad. Even before I became a regular patient, he went out of his way to help with one stubborn tooth that would not go numb. The staff is always genuinely super friendly. It really feels like I am part of a family whenever I go in there. I am blessed to have found him. read more

Please dont go by reviews. I was trying to book appoitnment with doctor as new patient. I got week later appointment which i rescheduled to some other day. On the appoitment day,(8:00 am) in the morning, I missed it due to some health issues. On calling back doctprs office, the receptionist lady told me she will have to ask doctor before giving me appoitnment further.She never called back , so I gave her a call again to check if they can schedule appoitment for me.She said rudely , since you missed the appointment 2 times (I never missed it 2 times rather 1 time) so doctor wont see you now. I guess a patient doesnt expect this from a good doctor - straight NO to new patient just because she missed 1 appoitment due to health reasons!! Never ever heard this before!! So please dont go by reviews as I went by read more

I know that dentist are human being and make mistakes. That said I wanna share my experience with dr lambert and you can judge yourself. I went to him because I had sharp pain in my lower left teeth while flying. At first he said maybe refilling the tooth would help and tried it and I paid for it but After 6 month I still had the pain. Then he said I need root canal which you all know is a painful and very expensive experience. But the tragedy is that I still have the freaking pain while flying!! I'm not even happy with the crown he put for me since the food get stuck behind it and he said he can't do that much about it! I understand that these things happen and sometimes dentist can not diagnose correctly but this is all my experience with him and there is not a single reason I be happy with his work. To be fair I should mention the dental assistant who cleaned my teeth was very good. read more

I saw 3 different dentist. All telling us that my wife needed another $5-7K more work for a tooth ache / sensitivity problem. 2 visits later with a couple of bite adjustments, problem solved. 3 years of pain and $10,000 spent, fixed for less than $200.00. Friendly, courteous, professional and results. That's all I ask for. Thanks Doc. read more

I believe Dr. Lambert is a good dentist, he explains what he is going to do, he has a wealth of knowledge and experience. His office is very clean, his hygienist's are all very nice. They are extremely timely & helpful. I do NOT believe Dr. Lambert should include children in his practice. My 3-year-old daughter had two cavities. She had to get Novocain on both sides, plus the fillings. She behaved like a rockstar. He was extremely impatient with her, scolded her on how she needed to keep a cotton ball in her mouth, suggesting it was a "rule." He snapped at her multiple times for biting down on his fingers & not keeping her mouth open. I had to suggest taking a break because you could tell his patience was low. It was a tough experience as a mother. My child is fine, she's resilient.. all kids are. I just feel upset she was treated in that way. I do believe he's a good dentist for adults, not for children. read more

Excellent doctor and teacher. I went to his office as an intern and all I can say is that he is honest and very knowledgable, in addition to being very friendly and funny. He taught me a lot, he taught me that patients have the right to know the truth, and that there are many Dentists out there who lie to patients for money. Through out my course of time, I saw him save patients hundreds of dollars from mis-diagnoses of other dentists. I am grateful to have interned at his office because I learned so much from him. He loves his job, and he loves teaching that passion to others. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for an honest, humorous, and down-to-earth Dentist. read more

Search for the word "integrity" in Dr. Lambert's reviews. You will find several results, and that in itself says a lot about his practice. Dr. Lambert is the most ethical dentist I have ever been to. In the last five years that my husband and I have been going to him, we haven't had a single "cavity." His belief is that if it ain't broke, don't fix it! I used to go to dentists who would take x-rays of my teeth every two years like clockwork. Dr. Lambert doesn't take advantage of the system. He only takes x-rays as needed. In fact, I don't remember the last time I had an x-ray. Less exposure to x-rays in my life is a good thing! Dr. Lambert has mentioned that people often underestimate the natural strength of our teeth. Instead of being drill-happy like so many greedy dentists out there, he gives our teeth a chance to heal itself. I would much rather wait and see if a dark spot on my tooth is in fact a cavity before having a big hole drilled into my tooth for a filling. Please don't retire anytime soon, Dr. Lambert! We need more doctors like you! read more

Best dentist I've ever been to. Was having a terrible tooth pain & they squeezed me in. Dr. Lambert is really funny & good humored. He also explains everything to you in a succinct & easy to understand manner. One option for my tooth pain was a temporary filling. When I chose this, Dr. Lambert reached over & grabbed a tray and started immediately. I have never been to a dentist who is so prepared. I had my teeth examined, x-rayed, drilled & filled & was out in an hour. I never once felt rushed or that squeezing me in was an inconvenience. All of the staff is also as friendly & knowledgable as Dr. Lambert. I would recommend that everyone go here for all dental needs. I am currently looking to find a dental insurance plan and my one requirement is that the insurance be accepted at Dr. Lambert's office. read more

Dr. Lambert is a fantastic Dentist. He did a wisdom tooth extraction for me last year. It was super painless and recovery was quick. I keep on going to him for all of my tooth trouble after that. Dr.Lambert also has an expertise in the science of materials that are used to fix teeth. He answers all questions and is never pushy. He does not hesitate to recommend no treatment sometimes which makes him a rare dentist. He has made me comfortable to trust him with my teeth. I Strongly recommend going to Dr.Lambert. read more

Dr. Lambert was graciously accommodating when I had to see a dentist the following day for an emergency. I came from the Philippines and was just visiting the city. So when he took me in, I was delighted to have found a caring and compassionate dentist in him. Out of my tooth problem, he gave me an honest assessment of it and was thorough at working about the procedure till the end. All the way through, I felt I was relating with my big brother; he was that caring. read more

I am very pleased with Dr. Lambert. I became his patient last year when I went in for a check up. He is very professional, corteous, responsible and knowledgeable. His work is very thorough and clean. I loved that he gave me tips on how to start a good dental hygiene for my son. He is such a good dentist, my husband now sees him for his dental work and check ups. I have had many dentist and I can honestly tell my family will conitnue seeing Dr. Lambert. read more

I had a wisdom tooth that was causing me a bit of pain. I called up and they were able to get me in very quickly. Dr. Lambert took a few minutes to chat with me without me feeling rushed, let me explain my issue, and a few moments later he yanked the tooth outta my jaw. I had absolutely NO pain during AND after the tooth pull. I didn't even have to take an advil afterwards. Dr. Lambert is very friendly and runs a tight ship! He seemed genuinely concerned about my tooth problems and seems like a honest, caring person. It's not my place to discuss their cost but I have to say that the price was exceptionally reasonable. For the first time, I did not feel cheated by a dentist office. The staff was very friendly. If I had to sum up the dentist office overall in a few words, I would say "Honest, reasonable, amazing." I am 110% happy with this dental office! read more

This is a real deal dentist. Not the marketing, salesmen type that I have experienced in the past. I finally found a real dentist like the kind I grew up with. There is no extra charges or unnecessary procedures that they are trying to sell you. Helpful, informative and knowledgeable staff that is personable is what this is. If you are looking for an honest dentist and have had trouble with dentists trying to gouge you in the past, try Dr. Lambert. read more

I have been going to Dr. lambert for my dental care ever since reading the excellent reviews from Yelpers. One word to say is "Superb!". He explains every single detail before he does anything. One time he did the deep teeth cleaning for me for the price of basic cleaning because he simply felt upset of my previous dentists who did bad job for leaving the big tartar around my wisdom tooth area for years. He really deserves the five stars! read more

Best dentist around. I switched jobs and lost my dental insurance plan to see him so I switched to a different plan to get him back!

Fantastic!!!! If I could rate him and his staff higher I would!!! I'm very particular with my dental care since I pay for it out of pocket so I wanted to get the best. I contacted my nephew (who is also a dentist but he has now has moved out of the area so I can't go to him; he lives just too far away). He immediately recommended Dr. Lambert. He told me he was one of his professors from his dental school and that Dr. Lambert was the BEST!!!! So I went. First of all, Dr. Lambert is probably one of the nicest down to earth guys I've met. But more importantly, he took SUCH great care of me (and his staff as well) that I decided to do a yelp on him. I NEVER Yelp, but my experience was amazing, I thought I should!!! I Highly HIGHLY recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Robin T. read more

My first yelp review, and it goes to Dr. Lambert. I've been a patient of his now for 22 years. I first went to him back in 1990 on the recommendation of my manager at the time, another long time patient. Dr. Lambert has always been professional, courteous, and given me all the options so I could make my own informed decision regarding my teeth. When work isn't necessary, he'll tell me. I've had a root canal, fillings and several crowns done by Dr. Lambert. The most recent crown was just a few weeks ago as a replacement for a crown that Dr. Lambert put in back in 1995 or 1996. The porcelain side chipped, and I decided to have it replaced (he suggested if I could live with the feel and appearance it did not necessarily need to be replaced). Because he had done such a good job installing the first crown, it was actually quite difficult to remove, a sign he really took his time and care in putting in the crown. Dr. Lambert was also a perfectionist with the replacement crown, so when it missed touching the tooth in front, he had it sent back to the lab for adjustment, and would only install it when it was perfect fit. I also go in every six months for a cleaning at his office and love his staff. Irma has been cleaning my teeth for a dozen or more years now, with an occasional one done by Elvie. Irma and Dr. Lambert always ask about my family and remember the important events in my life. When my parents moved to California a number of years ago, I also sent them to Dr. Lambert, and he took care of them with the understanding they did not have dental insurance, and he always made sure they knew the best fiscal option given their circumstances. When each of them passed away, his office sent condolences. I highly recommend Dr. Lambert, and probably should have done this sooner! read more

I couldn't be more happy with Michael Lambert. Very personable, listened to everything I had to say, we joked around had a good time and he gave me a very professional and personal experience. I found my new permanent dentist office! read more

I strongly dislike going to the dentist! When I go, it's because I HAVE to go. I decided to give Dr. Lambert a chance. I got there a little early and he was the person that greeted me as I walked in and gave me the form to fill out! He was super friendly, nice and most importantly, GENTLE! He explained everything that he was doing/about to do. He is awesome with his staff, unlike other dentists I've come across. I will definitely return! Thank you Dr. Lambert and staff for making my visit, a pleasant one! read more

115$ first visit fee 85$ xray exam 125$ filing so for a simple filing you will end up paying over 200$ read more

An excellent dentist that I have been going to for years. They make you feel like a happy family.

I found Dr Lambert over a decade ago on 1 800 dentist and keep coming back! :) His entire staff is top knotch, bar none. They make a point to make you feel welcome, at home, are comfortable and invest in you as their patient. I could not be happier and more trustworthy. Thank you Dr Lambert and staff for all the care you have given me and continue to provide. read more

Lived in the area for close to 3 years.....never knew of Dr. Lambert's office until I found it on Yelp. I have to agree with the great reviews I found on this site. After waiting to secure an appointment I went to go get a check up and to get my teeth cleaned. The people in the office were very friendly and very knowledgeable. They answered any questions I had and didn't try to "sell" me any unnessary dental work (woohoo!). Both Dr. Lambert and the dental hygenist (forgot her name already....) were awesome. Definitely a great dental office. If you plan to go, be sure to book early as appointments are booked out quite a bit. read more

I did a complete root canal and crown procedure with him. Very straight forward guy, explains everything to you so you would know what he is doing to you. I had a root canal and a crown procedure and it all went well. Definitely recommend him! read more

I found Dr Lambert through yelp and a year and a half later Im so grateful for him and his staff.. I suffered for years from such anxiety and paralyzing fear of dentists his warm joking manner and friendly knowledgeable staff have made my dental woes so much better he addresses the issues and provides the exact amount of perfect help I need I am truly blessed to have them all.. read more

Can't say how much I LOVE this dentist office. My husband and I have been going to Dr. Lambert for about 10 years now and the team feels like family. The staff has been consistent, professional, warm & friendly. Rita at the front desk knows exactly who I am when I call and say, "Hi Rita, this is Angela" even though I'm sure I'm not the only Angela at their practice...the hygienists (Shay, Elvie and Irma) are so very sweet, and always do a great job...and Dr. Lambert is awesome. He tells you what he thinks, never tries to force procedures on you, take time to explain his recommendations, and is a genuinely concerned about your best interest. The first time my husband had invasive treatment, we got a phone call from Dr. Lambert that evening checking to see how he was doing...totally unexpected (it wasn't surgery or anything), but was appreciated. I had an emergency root canal come up one week when Dr. Lambert was out of town. His back-up doctor was excellent, and Dr. Lambert followed up with a phone call from his vacation. Now Dr. Lambert jokes with me every time I'm in the office to make sure I am aware of his vacation schedule so I can plan my emergencies around his vacation :) After we had our son, Dr. Lambert's team gave us lots of useful information about starting to brush the baby's teeth, when to bring him in for appointments, etc. At 2-years old we didn't even think about going to a children's office, we brought my son to Dr. Lambert. Never thought it would go as smooth as it did, but my son loved the experience. Dr. Lambert & Shay (the hygienist we usually see) made him feel so comfortable, showed him how to work all the equipment, and was able to get him to open his mouth and do a full dental exam (poking and prodding...the whole bit). read more

He is very caring, concern and selfless dentist. Such people in professional field are rare. It was a great experience to visit him for my dental checkup. I rarely give any reviews but his persona made me do so. read more

Dr. Lambert is an honest and caring person. I found him by reading the reviews on yelp and other online references for recommendations for doctors. You will feel he has such good practical experience on this field when you make a comparison with other dentists you had before. Some people might prefer dentist at a younger age due to the advanced knowledge/techniques he/she has; I do think the years of experience is the most important thing. Dr. Lambert never asks you to do some treatment that is not necessary. He always think for you and give you the most reasonable and helpful advices. My husband visited him and was diagnosed with a terrible gum disease and Dr. Lambert has been working very hard to do whatever he can do to help. Why going to the dishonest places for spending money for low quality service? Dr. Lambert's office is the right place to go. read more

Michael is a pretty nice guy and a great dentist as well. The office is clean, modern, and well appointed. The only possible downside I could see as a new patient is that you might have to wait a while to get an appointment. It's like waiting in line at a restaurant. If the line is long you know the food is pretty good! read more

This is a followup to my previous review. Take a look at my profile picture, Dr Lambert had a major role in giving me that smile. What is great about going to see Dr Lambert is that it never felt like going to the dentist. read more

Our family has been going to Dr. Lambert for over 10 years. He loves his job and cares about doing good work. He is very warm and welcoming. We would recommend Dr. Lambert to anyone. Thank you Dr. Lambert. Scott and Samira Hoffman read more

I came to Dr. Lambert's office scared, and with extreme anxiety. From the moment I entered the door I felt comfortable with his staff. Rita at the front desk greeted me with a smile and made me feel so welcomed. Connie did my X-rays and saw that I was nervous and and talked to me and made me feel at ease. When I met Dr. Lambert he listened to everything I had to say and was real attentive to my feelings and answered all my questions. He has great bed side manner and is very compassionate and empathic with his patients. I returned a week later for my cleaning which Irma did. She is awesome! She talked with me the whole time, made me laugh and did an excellent job with my cleaning and also be very through with her instructions and aftercare. I would recommend this office to all my friends and family. I finally found a dentist office I completely trust! read more

I don't think even if he deserves 1star reviews.But I just wanted to help other yelp users.Don't go only for 5 star reviews but read the negative reviews also.During my visit I found him scaring me with the names of terrible dental diseases after diagnosis.Then after threatening he started to tell about treatment which were costing so high.He handled it so well,calmly and confidently that I could believe him and could go with the treatment.But I was somewhat familiar with my tooth decay problem as I had already gone through so many sites about tooth decay symptoms,which makes me to reconsider his opinion.In the middle of conversation I had already been started to known him as a very clever person and greedy money making fake dentist. I heard him completely because I wanted to know the level of greed as he told me some time stretching treatment. I had just a need of root canal (came to know this later by some other honest dentist)but he was preferring bridging which surely would given him a long and fat buisness.He could give me simple solution of root canal but he didn't,just to make more money. Fortunately I got an honest dentist later and got treated by her and now everything is doing fine. But I just want to share that Dr. Lambert shows but he doesn't care about his patients he just cares about his long stretched treatments of making more money. You can go if you want to visit him,if you have such money to waste on his scary treatments but I don't wanna do experiment with my teeth just for fake polite behaviour. I don't have such money and time to waste.And definitely I don't want to loose my precious body parts in this way.I don't know why some dentists can treat human body like this just for the sake of business.They even loose their values and humanity for this money. I think one human should help definitely the other one,so I posted it. read more

Ya know, a lot of people are just petrified of the dentist and that's their main reason for not going. For me though, it was simply an issue of cost. I'm a 20 year old uninsured struggling college student and money doesn't come by as easily as I hope it would. But I was getting severe pain with my wisdom teeth and at the rate it was starting to effect me, I wouldn't be able to focus on work or studying, so it was an investment for me. Dr. Lambert was a complete savior for me. I came in, he approached me on time in the waiting area and chatted with me for a bit before we went to the dental area where he explained EVERYTHING to me in fine detail. And for me, that means a lot. When I was young, I didn't care what my dentist did, as long as mom said it was okay. At this point, it's almost a completely necessity to understand everything before we get any medical procedure done. He had all sorts of books and charts, but overall, he proved that he was knowledgeable on my first visit. I was just coming in for a consultation initially, but I was won over and decided to schedule my appointment right then and there. Now if anyone is going in for anything pertaining to wisdom teeth, I'm going to let you know right now what he let me know the first instant I walked in. He is NOT an oral surgeon. He is NOT licensed to put you under using what they call the "standard" techniques. BUT. He does a hell of a better job than all the other people I've talked to about their wisdom teeth who did go to oral surgeons. The only thing this means is he charges less and he uses different method, but his method WORKS. For my friends who was in and out in 30 minutes, he spent an hour and a half of his time making sure it was done right. I hear the swelling is proportional to how gentle the dentist is. Well, I didn't swell much and was back in the gym 2 days later with only minor soreness. All the while my co-worker just got dry sockets, with no stitches in her mouth, and without the little needle-less syringe that Dr. Lambert gave me on the first day to clean the area the day after surgery. AND she had her surgery done the day before me at a LICENSED ORAL SURGEON in 30 minutes. I actually haven't been able to stop raving about him. The price was perfect for what was to be done. His professionalism is above any one that I have worked with. His staff is ultra sweet. And I know I'm on my way to recovery simply because I know he did the job right. At this point, I wouldn't want to waste my time with any other dentist. read more

I had been seeking for a decent dentist, then thought I finally found Dr. Lambert with perfect score of 4stars rating from 40+reviews on Yelp. I assumed nothing at this positive rating can be wrong! Well the reality has displayed the phenomenon of "TOO GOOD TOO BE TRUE !", what a "FOOL"! I was. In fact, his main focus is on the $ of my face than the problem of my teeth. As a result, I quickly became aware of the situation but it was too late; however the lesson from his practices remains with me. So beware of such Greedy and Immoral "doctor" . Unfortunately in life they do exist at this level also. Sorry it took me this long to say something so others can read and decide it themselves. Do NOT solely rely on Yelp rating to make final decision but try to research more from reliable sources. Nonetheless I find some of his staffs are very human . read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Lambert. He is simply an excellent dentist. He is knowledgable, gentle, patient, and kind. He has friendly and helpful staff who do everything they can to make you feel comfortable. Even when I lived in Davis, CA, I would drive to Santa Clara for dental visits. Worth the long drive. read more

I'm a recent graduate and in between jobs which means I don't have dental insurance, so of course I was extremely hesitant to go to the dentist after some tooth ache. Fillings are expensive! So after examining yelp, I decided to go see Dr. Lambert this morning. From this one meeting, he displayed a high level of honesty and integrity. He saved me from unnecessary work, and was really clear and open about explaining to me his diagnosis and professional opinion. His assistants are also really friendly and I felt comfortable from the first minute I walked into his office. I am SO grateful to everyone there. read more
