Shimizu Peter A DDS

Best dentist ever!!! I have been coming to Dr. Shimizu’s office since I was a baby, my family are also patients and we enjoy coming to the dentist, the staff are very friendly and they make you feel super comfortable and always give you the best advice to keep your teeth healthy! I would recommend Dr. S to all my friends and family!

I went for a cleanup last year and received an all-​around great service. My only complaint is that I was informed I needed a cavity filled and so I tried making an appointment, but the receptionist told me the schedule was filled up and that she’ll call me if something opens up. This was months ago and I’m still waiting for that call! Sounds like they have a pretty tight and booked schedule, so my advice is to be proactive and persistent if trying to make an appointment!

My wife and I have been going to Dr. Shimizu for over 4 years and he is simply the best dentist we have ever had. Extremely nice, accommodating, and down to earth he is really present whenever I have my appointment. Very honest over what he recommends for treatments, but never pushy or has an agenda. The best part is my wife and I have expressed how squeamish we are to pain and he and his dental team work hard to make sure our discomfort is minimal. They are always checking in with us verbally to make sure we are comfortable and are always willing to try different ways when things get unbearable. Honestly though, we never really get to a place where things have to pulled back when it stings too much since they are already sensitive to our needs. I highly recommend Dr. Shimizu, and should also note that this is my first ever Unilocal review.

I’ve been coming to Dr. Shimizu and Pastora for AGES! I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. I’ve moved to the OC they are worth the drive. They are professional, kind and great at what they do.

I have known and have been going to Dr. Shimizu for over 30 years! My kids have been going to him as well since they were tots. Dr. Shimizu has never steered me wrong. He never advises any treatment that is not necessary, does not try to up-​sell, and he will never bad mouth other professionals. He has often given other family members who are not his patients a fair and honest second opinion for free. In addition to his professionalism and amazing dentistry, I have never had to wait in his office for my appointment; I have been called in upon arrival without even having time to sit down. His assistant PC is just as professional, caring, and friendly. If you are looking for the last honest dentist, give Dr. Shimizu a try. — Mitra Madjdi

Dr. Shimizu is very nice and friendly and from what I gather a very good Dentist… However The Oral Hygienist I had been going to is kind of pushy when it comes to extra services such as a deep cleaning. I’ve explained numerous times that I’ve had one before and it’s not worth the cost to me, yet she persisted and even expressed disappointment when I said no thanks multiple times.

I have been going to Dr. Shimizu for over 25 years and have recommended him to many friends and co-​workers who all love him. He never tries to up sell me and he always takes the least invasive measures to save my teeth. When I did need a crown he was hundreds less than a co-​worker had recently paid somewhere else.

My family has been going to Dr. Shimizu for 30 years! He is the absolute best! I recently had to go to a new dentist because Shimizu only accepts PPO insurance. The new dentist was very nice but his work was horrible. I called Dr. Shimizu and he told me to come in and fixed my filling for FREE! I then went to work and immediately asked for PPO dental and several work associates changed as well and began seeing Shimizu. They all love him!
