Jeff Huston, DDS MS

Dr. Huston is absolutely amazing! I have been taking my kids to him for the last 8 ½ years and he had always been fantastic. However, this weekend he went above and beyond what I could have asked for. After dinner on Mother’s Day my son was playing on his scooter outside and fell resulting in the lower portions of his two front teeth breaking off and shattering against the pavement. He also had skinned his nose and lips, hit his forehead, and had swelling of his upper lip. I was a wreck. I called the office and per the instructions on the answering machine called and left a message for Kelly, the office manager. Kelly called me back within minutes. She called Dr. Huston after I explained the situation to her. Again, within minutes he called me back. He was off for a three day weekend and having dinner in Stockton when we were speaking. He didn’t hesitate to drop what he was doing, pack up his dinner and meet us at his office in Lodi. In addition to caring for my son’s dental needs he also checked him for a concussion and made sure overall he was comfortable and taken care of. There aren’t words to express how grateful I am for his selflessness that night and for his being there for our family. Thank you so much!

I am a 36 year old mother of two. I started going to Dr. Huston’s office when I was 2 years old. I loved my experience with him, so now I bring my children to see Dr. Huston. My children love the quiet and friendly atmosphere at his office. There is never a wait and Dr. Huston and his staff are always very kind and patient. Today, my 9 year old daughter had her two k-9’s pulled. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We were in and out of the office in 30 minutes. She has very little pain and is looking forward to a visit from the tooth fairy tonight! Thank you so much Dr. Huston for being a pediatric dentist that I know I can trust.

Dr. Huston is very knowledgeable which has been very comforting for me. I have many questions since I am a first time mom, he and his staff are always willing to answer all my questions.

Dr Huston has cared for my 3 children since before they were each 1 year old. Dr Huston is highly knowledgeable and kind to the children. When they have required a procedure (as my daughter required yesterday), his approach is very team based to keep the child relaxed and at ease. It is a partnership of parent and dental provider. I appreciate Dr Huston’s office allowing me to be there with my child, as I know procedures go much smoother with me or my husband present. My children love going to the dentist and at least once a month will ask if it is time to go back. Thank you Dr Huston!

My grandson sammy love to see Dr Huston. He has it marked on his calendar so he knows when his 6 month check up is.

I brought my son to Dr. Huston when he was a little over one (2009). He only had a couple teeth and Dr Huston seemed to be VERY knowledgable about different problems/​health issues my son had. My son is pretty mature and loves the attention he gets at doctors/​dentist. Since he has several health conditions, he is at the docs ALOT. Anyway, at age 2 (this kid sits pleasantly for lab work/​IVs as long as you tell him what’s happening) Dr. Huston is cleaning my son’s teeth and I notice Dr. Huston has his stethoscope in his ears (?!). My son was trying to ask a question (about the song) but he was getting no answer since the dentist essentially was wearing professional looking earplugs… So, trying to get Drs attention, my son tried to move his arm out of the passive aggressive pin-​down hold that Dr. H had on him and Dr. H told me to calm him down or he will put him in a papoose. Besides the fact that I’m an RN and I know you need consent to restrain ANYONE, nobody will be putting a papoose on my 100% compliant child.
My best friend also had her son get cavities filled by Dr. H, without incidence x2. The third time, he claimed that it hurt and was trying to say something to Mom. Dr. H again threatened the papoose while this poor child sat there (4 years old), scared to death, crying silently. Turns out that the bite block was in a ill’ wonky and he bit through his lip. Also, NOT LISTENING and using the papoose as a threat! I work w Peds every day and you HAVE to listen to them. They are so smart and have important questions.
Just think if you had pain and your (trusted) dentist said «you better not complain or I will tie you down and do it anyway»?
AAlso, the whole stethoscope thing– annoyed me. Yea, the song is a cute idea but he sings AT the kids to drown out what the stethoscope lets in. No thanks! Our son’s security level and self worth is SOOO much more important than an old passive aggressive doctor, stuck in his ways, getting HIS way.
Oh, and the bottle thing– my son (8) still uses cups with a straw because he aspirates when bending neck the opposite way. So ridiculous to insist that a straw cup is a bottle.
One good thing was that he helped diagnose my son with a very rare disorder– Ectodermal Dysplasia. I do wish your clinical skills were as good as your knowledge skills bc my son will need a great dentist for the rest of his life.

My kids LOVE coming here!!! Race each other to the door to see who gets to be first! Dr Huston & the staff here are AWESOME!
I cannot say enough great things about Dr Huston and his staff. They are amazing people! Very courteous, helpful, personable, and fun. My only critique is that they don’t take adults.

Very good with kids. He is very good at communicating with parents and the orthodontist. Very time efficient. Keeps his schedule and gets you out.

We moved to the area about a year ago, and heard good things about Dr. Huston’s office — we were greeted with great care from the moment we entered the office. Our children loved the singing and jokes — we loved the quick and easy checkup! There are prizes and stickers, as well as both encouragement and information on great pediatric dental care. Prevention is key! Anytime we drive past the office our children ask to go back, I would say that speaks for itself! We couldn’t imagine a better dentist for our children, Dr. Huston is a pediatric dentist our kids will happily visit for years to come.

My children love to go to the dentist. I didn’t think I would ever say that other then joking. Both of my girl (4 and 7) don’t only life seeing Dr Jeff but think it’s exciting. In the very encouraging informative environment children and parents are educated on how to best care for children’s teeth as they grow.
It’s so magical how they sing little songs about teeth to my four year old to keep her calm and tell jokes to the seven year old to keep her laughing.
I wish I could have had a dentist like this as a child and would never consider any other dentist. As a person who works with hundreds of children on a weekly basis here in Lodi I know that by far Dr Jeff is the best the entire area.

Was not happy with the approach and service. Just not a good match with our child and Dr. Huston and so we moved on. I cannot give a positive recommendation, but as they say «your mileage may vary».

We have been coming to Dr. Huston for several years and I still think he’s the best pediatric dentist around! Have any questions about kids dentistry he’s your man! His knowledge And patience is amazing! … And the office staff is bright and cheerful!

Lodi’s only kids dental care office with a «real» certified specialist! I love Dr. Huston and all his sweet and friendly staff! I highly recommend parents bring their kids here!

I don’t know why but my son just didn’t like him he signs during checking teeth but i guess thats cool for some kids but mine didn’t feel comfortable with him now we go to My kids dentist dr zan is very good with kids

My two sisters and I have been coming to Dr. Huston’s office since I can remember. We’re all 18 or 22 now so it’s been a lifetime, and I’m not looking forward to finding an adult dentist because of the fact that he’s so great. He’s never been short of amazing, friendly, and efficient (fillings are mercury free) and the rest of his staff is amazing as well. None of us have had any issues or complaints in our many years of seeing him! I highly recommend parents bring their kids here. The office is kid friendly and the fish tank is always a big hit and a calming effect on the younger patients!

I’m not a current patient of Dr Huston, but I was a patient of his through my entire childhood. He is a wonderful pediatric dentist and I would recommend him to anyone. Just one example (of many), when I was about 8 or so years old I had a dental emergency. I knocked out my two front teeth-​which unfortunately were my adult teeth. My mother called his exchange and he told us to come in right away. He was there in less than a half hour and fixed me right up. I cannot say enough good things about him!

I have never experienced a better pediatric dentist or his staff than Dr. Huston’s office. From our first introduction to every visit and follow-​up, it has been a positive and welcoming environment. Dr. Huston and his staff bring a professionalism and positive outlook that is rare these days. I can’t recommend them high enough!

From the moment I walked into his very unique office I knew I was someplace special, someplace where kids (young and old) would be put at ease. The staff was welcoming and enthusiastic. I already knew Dr. Huston’s reputation as a dentist was sterling and was impressed that he has lectured colleagues his field. That was all fine and good that he is respected by peers and very bright but how is he with patients? Suffice it to say, he is a people person and has enough of the inner child in him to relate to kids. Without hesitation I five– star Dr. Jeff!

Dr. Huston was recommended to us by our pediatrician (who we love) so we scheduled out first appt. The front office staff is very friendly and sweet to the kids. Our wait time was minimal and those of you with toddlers you understand how important this is. Dr. Huston is very calm even when my son was screaming at the top of his lungs. Dr. Huston just kept singing to him.
Great experience! All Parents: I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Huston’s practice for your child!
