Clyde L Schultz, DDS

I’ve been in a dentist chair since a very young age. Until recently, I was on a regular regimen with my long-​term dentist in Santa Barbara and after moving to the Bay Area I couldn’t find a dentist I was confident with so unfortunately I postponed bi-​annual cleanings.
After a recommendation from relatives I went to Dr. Shultz. His entire office from the front receptionist to hygienist were warm, welcoming and professional. Kelly, the hygienist, was very thorough and informative. For years I’ve heard hygienist call out numbers as they probe an instrument in my mouth but she explained what the numbers signified.
I had been to a dentist in SF and was told I needed services such a deep cleanings however the dr. Didn’t push me to get new X-​rays nor did Kelly find a need to do a ‘deep clean’.
I highly recommend this practice. The Dr. And team are professional, experienced and friendly!

Dentistry doesn’t get any better than this! Dr. Schultz office runs with wonderful efficiency and the staff is just wonderful. Prepare for a wait for your first cleaning because there is a large dedicated group of patients with the cleanings all booked ahead. But, it is worth the wait! While the office is small and in an older building, you get top rate care. Dr. Schultz is amazing! He is caring, sincere, knowledgeable, competent and efficient. If you care about what chemicals you put in your body like I do – never fear! Dr. Schultz is on top of and sensitive to these types of issues as a standard part of his practice. He explains things clearly. Yesterday I had two fillings done and was once again impressed with him. With my mouth open and me not saying a word, again and again, he was able to read my mind about when I needed a break, when I needed to swallow, what I was wondering about, etc. I had an unusual reaction to one of the dental anesthetics used and he was on top of it, immediately understanding (and putting in better words than I did) what I was feeling and having a plan to address it. He even called that evening to make sure that I was doing well. I could go on, but I think the host of 5 star reviews speak for themselves. At this office you find the highest quality dental care… just what you were looking for!

Meant to post this long ago, but Dr. Schultz and the staff are absolutely first-​rate!
If you’re like me — a skittish dental patient — have no fear! Go see Dr. Schultz and the staff! Really! Don’t put off your dental work. because this office will absolutely take care of you and your family! My wife and I have had both routine and extensive work done and we could not be happier! We came from Sothern California and Phoenix, had many experiences with purportedly top-​flight practitioners, but Clyde Schultz and the staff are vastly superior to any experience we had before.
Yeah, OK, I know this review sounds like a «plant», but it’s not; we’re just very happy to have found true professionals that really care about us, right here in Petaluma!
Many, many thanks to Dr. Schultz and his staff!

I have been a patient of Dr. Schultz ever since he started his practice in Petaluma in 2007. My whole life I’ve hated going to any dentist because I have very sensitive teeth. Dr. Schultz and his team have changed my view completely as they are all very gentle while working in my mouth. Dr. Schultz has always talked me through my options when I am faced with decisions so we could come up with the best plan for me. He really has the best interests of the patient in mind at all times! I recently moved to San Francisco and still make the drive to Petaluma whenever I am due for an appointment. I have recommended him to friends and family in Marin and SF and know that others make the same drive as me for his exceptional dental care!

I was referred to Dr. Schultz through a girlfriend and even though I live about 40 minutes away, am so glad I was and am more than happy to make the drive over! Dr. Schultz and his team are truly and absolutely wonderful. I so greatly appreciate Dr. Schultz’s knowledge, gentleness and patience. I have already referred Dr. Schultz to my Mom and husband, and would and will highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. You won’t find a better dentist. Thank you Dr. Schultz!

I’m very picky about dental care. Too picky, really — I waited much too long to get my teeth taken care of. In light of that, it’s been a real blessing to find Dr. Schultz and his awesome staff! Dr. Schultz listens and offers recommendations based on my needs rather than his financial desires. It certainly helps that his work is absolutely first-​rate. Strongly recommend for anyone.

Dr Schultz and his entire staff are as good as it gets! Dr. Schultz gives you options and does not always recommend the most expensive which was not the case with my former dentist. If you have problems with your insurance they go to bat for you and do everything they can to get payment without you having to do the leg work. No one LIKES going to the dentist but Dr. Schultz and staff sure make it a much more enjoyable experience.
