Joseph Whitehouse, MS, DDS

Today was the first time that I’ve visited Dr. Whitehouse’s Dentistry in Castro Valley. It was the best dental experience I’ve ever had, hands down. From the moment I called to make the appointment to filling out paperwork in the waiting room to the follow-​up I had post appointment — the women working at the front desk are true professionals, organized and are extremely pleasant. I believe their names are Carol and Mary. Shirley, who cleaned my teeth made me feel very comfortable right off the bat by giving me a quick tour of the office (Dr. Whitehouse had actually smiled and waved while I was getting the brief tour) and she asked me several questions about my lifestyle. I thought this was important because she was able to relate to some of my experiences while at the same time determine my concerns and questions about oral healthcare. I still can’t believe how clean my teeth feel. Julieta took my X-​Rays and she explained to me step-​by-​step what she would be doing as well as prepared me for what I would discuss with Dr. Whitehouse. It had been some time since I had X-​Rays and I was relieved to know that X-​Rays are now digital and have a low dose of radiation. By the time I met with Dr. Whitehouse I felt that all of my questions were answered, but I was surprised to know that was even more to know about my teeth and oral healthcare that I’ve never even considered. Knowing that he has a long and diverse history of patients and treatments gave me a sense of comfort. He gave me really good advice and I felt safe, I left knowing I would be in good hands for regular visits to come.
