We've been coming here since 2013. We drive an hour from the Central Coast just to have our teeth cleaned and examined here. It's that Great...staff and doctors are awesome. They are really caring and attentive towards their patients. Always a pleasant visit for me and my family. read more

Shoker Devinder, DDS - As of 04.18.2026 - General Dentistry Near Me - Milpitas, California

On Friday, May 1st, I brought my daughter into your office due to a painful toothache. After completing X-rays and a formal consultation, the doctor informed me that she would need a root canal procedure, which we then scheduled for today, May 19th. Our appointment was set for 9:30 A.M., and we made sure to arrive early at 9:00 A.M. As expected for a child about to undergo a dental procedure, my daughter was nervous and emotional. Unfortunately, instead of receiving any level of reassurance, patience, or professionalism from your staff, we were met with the comment, "My day is just getting started, I don't want to hear you cry." I was honestly surprised to hear a staff member in a pediatric dental environment speak to a scared child this way. I would have assumed compassion and bedside manner would be a basic expectation in a setting that treats children, especially those already in pain and fearful of treatment. To make matters worse, after we rearranged our schedules, prepared my daughter mentally for this appointment, and arrived early, we were then informed that the procedure would not even be performed. The entire experience was disappointing, unprofessional, and handled with a complete lack of empathy. Hopefully this feedback is taken seriously so future patients and parents are treated with a little more understanding and respect than we received today. read more

I would give this place zero stars if I could. I was referred here by my primary dentist. Made an appointment over a month ago, and told them it's a referral. I was feeling ill on the day of the appointment so called to reschedule. I was curtly informed $25 will be charged for canceling/rescheduling appointments if done less than 24 hours. This was not conveyed at my initial call. Red flag #1. The day before they called to confirm if I'm planing to come. Yes, I do plan to come. While driving to my appointment I got a call asking if I'm going to show up or else I will be charged $35. Yes, redundant, rude and price went up. Red flag #2. After filling out forms I was taken to the back of the office and that place was like a mill. There were at least 10 people lying on dentist chairs, getting procedures done. No privacy whatsoever. Red flag #3. I was told to sit on a vacant chair. After a few minutes someone came and stood behind me, who I didn't see, and said 'Why are you here'. No greetings or polite introductions. Didn't even bother to stand in front of me to show his face. Red flag #4. I told him I was referred to by my primary dentist. He proceeded to put an X-ray protector on me then vanished. A few minutes later someone else came to take X-rays. I had several X-rays taken by my primary dentist a few months ago so was confused why more were needed. Then I realized either they never contacted her, or wanted to pad the bill. Red flag #5. By then I was beginning to get very agitated and uncomfortable. I was having terrible feelings about this place. I asked him who he is and who the other person was. He told me the previous person was Dr so and so, not Dr Shoker. I told him I don't want any more X-rays as my primary dentist had taken several. I then took off the X-ray protector, got off the seat and started to walk out. They realized they had f'd up and said I can speak to Dr Shoker personally if I would like to, but by then I had had enough and wanted to get out asap. I also told them I have had plenty of X-rays done and don't want any more. They had never contacted my primary dentist, and they had nothing in my file. They had over a month to do this. This is incredibly incompetent. But for me the worst part was lack of politeness and bedside manners - from most of the staff. I will speak to my primary dentist and tell her not to send anyone there as Dr Shoker is running a shoddy questionable business. Don't go here if you have other options. read more

Dr Kaila is the best!!!!!! She fixed my teeth and was so kind and gentle ! Would recommend her !!! Thanks for my beautiful smile :) read more

Terrible office staff keep you on hold forever and frequently hang up on you. Dentists are ok if you want something quick . read more

Worst Dental Service I have ever received. Waste of money my teeth look horrible the bridge looks so fake does not look natural I been coming for four months I am just fed up with this place read more

Incompetent staff. Make you wait for small decisions during the treatment. No softcopy of your reports and never share your original reports. No transparency in treatment plans and prices. I was denied for an extraction after a repeated coming off a crown put by them as no one is skilled including Dr Shoker and that surprised me. They should not have taken patients if planning to leave the treatment in the middle. I would NOT recommend anyone if they are looking for an efficient dentist and not a money making place who plays with hard earned money and our precious teeth. read more

I used to go here as a child. Reminds me why I hated the dental office so much. I've been to other dental offices where the dentist has the time to numb your teeth, therefore not feeling the pain. Dr. Aparna apparently didn't have the time to numb all the teeth she was going to work on, just the one she thought was the worst. She noticed the other teeth were worse off and instead of taking the time to numb me she preferred I just writhe in pain. Not saying she's evil, in fact she was really nice and supportive, I just wished she would take the time to make sure her patients were comfortable and pain free. Make time for your patients. EDIT: I went back yesterday after I had sharp pain while eating. It's been 15 days since my last appointment so I thought it appropriate. Turns out there was a small hole/cavity that either chipped or wasn't filled the first time. Anyways, I got Dr. Aparna again. She was getting ready to drill before numbing me. I had to stop her and ask her to numb me. I gave her the feedback from last time. She understood and let me know that there is some risk to to much anesthesia. However, I get the feeling it was mostly because it would take up time to wait for the anesthesia to work. She numbed me once but when she started drilling it hurt really bad so I asked her to stop and she numbed me again. It was so much better than the first time I went there. I didn't wake up to pain or discomfort this morning. read more

Terrible place. Do NOT go there. I almost think they are committing insurance fraud as well. When I brought to their attention, my frustration about the communication and how they just left my root canal open for months and months without a crown, I would go in and they wouldn't even touch my teeth, I would leave without any treatment done and in pain, not to mention they left me waiting 1 1/2 after my appointment time to have nothing done. They sent me a letter firing me as their patient. When I spoke to Raja she was rude and condescending she kept cutting me off and did not want to hear anything.I had to say a week later I received the letter. I am going to be reporting them to the better business bureau and also to the insurance company, and the dental board. Please be careful and do you research with them. read more

DO NOT COME HERE OR FREMONT LOCATION!!! They used to be very good here, I had been coming here for years with my family, although they have declined HORRIBLY the past few years. The front desk staff does not seem to have standard training and are always unhelpful and rude on the phone. On two separate occasions, I waited over 30 minutes past my SCHEDULED appointment times and was told I would have to wait a little longer and they will see me; not to mention I even came 15 minutes before the scheduled appointment time (as requested). I had other scheduled appointments to go to and had to leave; people have busy lives and we can not be expected to carve out 3+ hours just to go get a cleaning, that's what appointment times are for!!! So after the second time, I left by telling them I could no longer wait for their nonsense and I will go somewhere else instead, they decided to send me a letter stating they will no longer see me as a patient! Almost hilarious how unprofessional that is, when it was completely their fault, TWICE. They should close before things get worse. read more

Terrible place would never recommend. always have to wait 40mins more than appointment. I did the crown and doctor let assistant handle everything and took 2hours to just put the crown and it even dropped into my throat and choke me All they said is sorry I almost died. And make me come back again for another crown and make me wait again another 40mins read more

Pro: Take most insurance Cons: Incompetent staff Make you wait an hour Allot 2-3 hours or more every time read more

I was early for my appointment and waited 40 mins still.. This has been the absolute WORST dentist ive ever been to in my life!!!! This place is a joke. Never have i been to a "dental office" that is so unprofessional. The dental assistant was sick to begin with! While assisting the dentist.. she was on her phone and did not change her gloves. This place is filthy.. black marks on the walls, chairs are dirty, smells bad, equipment was dirty.. xray coat was dirty.. went in with a toothache and they did xrays and then proceeded to ask me what i wanted them to do! "????????" They are supposed to know what to do.. the restroom wreaked of urine. You never get the same dentist. I had a root canal done and she said i have an infection and did not give me antibiotics.. asked her a few questions and she did not know the answer to.. dont even get me started on the girls at the front desk.. they are talking about how horrible the other staff are. They all talk about you in their language.. They are all so unprofessional.. i went back to my old dentist which is AMAZING and they said i had this infection for a while and good thing i went in when i did... this place really needs to be shut down... please do not come here if you value your life and teeth.. read more

The doctor does not want to be asked any questions especially from Medicaid medical patient. Our experience with Dr. Shoker was a nightmare. If you are a Muslim women he will treat you in an unprofessional and hostile manner if you ask any question. His staff unhappy and scared of him. read more

We called to last week to set up an appointment for a routine teeth cleaning. Today was the date my appointment was set and when we called to confirm the time, they said we had no appointment in the system. We have been waiting 1 week for this appointment. Very poorly done. read more

The entire office was dingy and dirty. I wish I had gotten the opportunity to take pictures, but there was dust over some of the equipment and in the corners and edges of the floor. I went in for a regular cleaning, and I will say they were very quick. However, the lady cleaning my teeth was rough and it didn't feel very thorough. She left many of my gums bleeding, which is unusual for me as I take good care of my teeth. Needless to say, I will not be returning to this location. UPDATE: After consulting with another dentist in the area today, I realize that they tried to rip me off by over $650 out of pocket! They said I need a crown when I don't. Please don't go here!!! read more

Huge thank you to staff and Dr. Shoker! I have been having the worst toothache on my wisdom teeth and I got seen the same day and got it removed as well! Totally recommend! 2 ladies on the front desk helped me out so much ! Huge thank you to all the staff there ! read more

About a year and a half ago I got a root canal done with Dr. Shoker. My crown has fell off twice and they just put it back on. It fell out again two days ago and I went to a different dentist to get a second opinion. He told me that Dr. Shoker made my tooth too narrow and that is why the crown keeps falling off. There is a little infection on my gums but if I waited a little longer there could have been a chance I would need surgery. My new Dentist is helping me lower my gum inflammation and now I need to get a new crown and get it reshaped. read more

Dr.Shoker is an exceptional dentist who provide superior services to his patients. He's been my dentist more than 10 years and has my highest recommendation. read more

This man is a scam artist who does unnecessary work on his patients to gain a profit. What he did to my son should be criminal. Shotty work, cheap materials and a total disregard for his patients. Im planning on having his practice investigated. We unfortunately have been taking my son there for years. We grew suspicious when we realized that every time he had a visit "Dr Shroker" would find something else wrong and would recommend a treatment. The last time we went he told us that my son had 3 cavities that needed work. Keep in mind my son has had multiple procedures done by him already to treat so called cavities. With our suspicions high we took him to another dentist and they informed us that he had only one cavity that was so small there wasnt an immediate need to work on it. This man is a liar and a con. DO NOT trust your teeth with this man. read more

I gave one star to this location just because poor infection control . Seen Staff touching medical equipments with same gloves they use to work in patients mouth. I have seen staff touching their chairs, overhead lights , counters and not changing gloves in between. Person took x ray, used same gloves to touch the cabin, X ray machine and used same gloves to place some type of device in my mouth to take picture. The covers that they have on the arms of treatment chairs are not being changed in between patients. I was asked to use the same treatment chair after a patient who just finished. Staff themselves wear their full PPE to protect themselves but what about the patients. Patient also have right to receive proper care especially with this pandemic they should follow all infection control guidelines. I am not a type of person who give one star to any business, only reason i am giving this review so clinic manager takes this serious to protect the community. One more thing, floor looks like never been swept or mopped. read more

Absolutely terrible service. Would give this place zero stars if possible. The doctors are so rude and very unprofessional. I went in complaining about one tooth but she insisted on working on a different one and completely messed it up. Thank god for my new dentist who tried her best to rectify what the doctor here messed up. Landed up needing a root canal because her mistakes were unsalvageable. Stay away from this place! read more

Dr Shock and staff is good although when it comes to his son pleases avoid from him working on you. What a hack.. read more

Shoker Devinder, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Milpitas, California

I really liked this place for years. They were amazing honest and inexpensive for a dentist. No upselling, or saying a cavity needed to be filled that didn't. Not so sure anymore though. 3 stars because dentists as a whole are con artists and this place is better than the average, just not as good as they used to be. read more

Booked for general cleaning in the Fremont branch and had to wait for 45 min to get to a 10 am appointment. Then they did my X ray and could not download it , so had to do a repeat Xray , but the Chinese doctor was really nice and knowledgeable. After coming back home , had sores in my mouth due to the repeated X-rays . read more

This place used to be so much better than what it is now. It's sad to see businesses such as this place. fail to offer the same type of service they did before gaining a customer base. I made an appointment, drove 45 mins to the Milpitas location only to be told that they don't have the assistant required to complete the treatment. When I had already confirmed everything with the lady who picked up the phone. She tells me there was a "miscommunication". Nope, no there was not. You failed to do your job to ensure that you have the right people in the office before confirming my appointment. So disappointing!! Funny to see the discrepancy amongst the real reviewers who give this place 1-2 stars, and then you have customers who were requested by the staff to provide reviews - 5 stars. read more

COVID -19 location update, finding a dental care that doesn't charge an obscene amount of money to be seen is always a struggle. They have two locations one in Fremont and the other in Milpitas. Milpitas allow walk-ins or same day appointments. They take several type of insurance and mine was through UNITED HEALTH CARE (UHC). They charged me a one time fee of $50 for a year and unlimited visits. They have a pretty good pricing on dental caps. One of the best dental care office I have been to so far. They are very friendly a s gives you a detail information of everything you need. Just make sure not to cough on the doctor ;) read more

I had to wait 30-40 mins every time, Even after the scheduled appointment. Would not recommend read more

This place is ridiculous. They never take you in on time. Honestly don't know why they have an appointment system when they don't follow the appointment times. I waited over an hour to be seen and every time I would ask how much longer they kept saying 15 mins. Why schedule 5 appointments for 11:30 when you can't actually take everyone at 11:30. read more

No one can provide affordable Dental care in bay area compare to Dr. Shoker. He gets the job done. Compare his prices read more

I'm gonna go out a limb and say this dentist doesn't take rejection very well. After everything that happened I told them I found another dentist and will not be coming back. They won't stop calling and I've told them every time to delete my number. But they won't so hopefully this finally gets to them. And btw according to yelp policy you're not supposed to TELL people to change their review or remove it. This place should be taken off yelp. read more

After my second time coming to this place I won't be back. Both times I made an appointment and I wasn't seen for an hour later. Even after I told them I have to pick my son up from daycare (after waiting a half hour) They really need to stop over booking or whatever they are doing. It would be nice if the respected our time. read more

Dr. Shoker is extremely rude and condescending while answering questions. I had around an hour wait time for my appointment which is expected, but the staff at the front desk did not know how to properly talk to customers which made it seem even longer. This place would definetly benifit from customer service training. read more

For 1 month, I was experiencing pain in my nerves in my teeth, I didn't know what it was. I made an appointment with Preeti who called and verified my insurance and made it a smooth process to book an appt. I came in and met with Dr. Shoker (my Dentist for 5 years now) and find out it was a root canal. Today, I had my root canal and I slept right through it. Very professional and knows how to run a business smoothly and seamlessly! read more

I have no complains about the actual dental providers of dental assistants but the front desk employees need some training. I've had a few times where I make the appt and then when I call to confirm it, they don't see it on the computer & will insist that I must of called or went somewhere else to make it . When I call to schedule appointments it's just very unprofessional how they speak over you and are not listening to what you need. I changed from the Fremont location to Milpitas because of the front desk employees. Had no issues with Milpitas until recently. I went in as a walk in crying from a tooth ache & the lady in the front let's me know that I've "no showed" 2 appointments & said "ya I don't think it's right that you've not showed to those appointments when there is other ppl that need it" then as I'm talking she continues to say ya ya ya so ya it's not right ! In my head I just told myself not to waste my breath with her because YA she's not listening! ..AND first of all I have called to cancel but again when I call they do not listen because they are either talking over me or talking to each other so of course they are not going to hear me when I call to cancel... also when I call the Fremont location (before I went to Milpitas) the girls would insist that I wasn't a patient there and that I've never been there only Milpitas! They were making me feel like I'm going crazy. It's just too much & honestly yes I could've looked for a new dentist but I never did and because of that I went years of not going to the dentist and I'm paying for it now. I work in the medical field as a receptionist and I could never see myself or any of my co workers being like that. Front desk are the first impression & let me just tell you those girls at both locations give that clinic a bad look! seems like they feel entitled because there are no consequences with how they are. I can go on and on but this would be a 5 page essay. I would recommend this place BUT only because of the front desk I would not! If you call to make the appt they might not even make it, they will make it for something else that u didn't ask for, they won't listen to you, they will talk to you sarcastically, they will gossip in front of you & not listen. Let me just say it's not all front desk but 75% of them. read more

I would give this place and Dr. Shoker 0 stars if possible. Do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY from this place. Not sure where he got his license from. He's extremely rude when you ask questions. He messed up my tooth completely. Go somewhere else and spend a little extra. He is also a SCAMMER. read more

Dr Shoker is great. Staff is awesome. I really like the way they take care of issues. They are very straight forward and they do not waste time. I really like their services. I am Dr Shoker patient since 2001. They are alway fix the problem very quickly and always reasonable. I tried different dentist however I always feel Dr Shoker and their staff have genuine interest to help patient and provide excellent service. I recommend Dr Shoker and his team to all my fiends and family. read more

Horrible, horrible experience here. Staff has zero regard for patient's well-being. "We want to mooch your money" is written all over this office. Shoker is a lousy Doctor. Had my crown put in and it wasn't long until I realized that I had to redo it elsewhere due to a huge gap between my teeth and prolonged pain. Since I had no insurance, I had to pay $1800 out of pocket only to be left with pain in my mouth. Avoid this doctor at all cost. People aren't kidding when they say his license should be revoked. Slimy fu**s read more

I really loved the service at Dr. Shoker Dental clinic. Though they were full, Preethi helped me setup a last minute appointment, as I was in pain. And I am so thankful for her. She is the best. And I also liked the way Dr. Devinder Shoker planned out my dental treatment for 2020 and 2021. Am glad to have found them. I highly recommend their clinic. read more

I have had nothing but great experiences and service from Dr. Shoker's Fremont office. I travel from the valley to come see him. I have been coming here for years and so has my entire family. We have had things done from tooth pulled, fillings, root canals, crowns, bridges and more. We have always been more than satisfied with Dr. Shoker's professional work. He will always be our family dentist until he retires or close and hopefully either won't be for a long time. He is the greatest!! We absolutely love him!! read more
