Stefanie Lopez, DDS

Keep away from Dr. S. LOPEZ DDS. From LOPEZ to her front office manager, Grace, they come off nice, but they have no heart, or even compassion! They really suck ! Stay away.

Dr. Stefanie is professional, trustworthy, compassionate, and great with kids. She cares about her patients and can be reached during a tooth emergency. Her staff is wonderful and their office is spotless.
I really like the office location, as it is conveniently located close to the freeway and there is always parking. I can squeeze an appointment into my busy day without too much travel time.
The photos is of my 9 year old son. Dr. Stefanie had to pull a baby tooth to let the adult tooth grow in. He was much braver than his Dad. Thank you Dr. Stefanie!

Ok. can you really ‘love’ a dentist? How about extremely like!?! I was referred to Dr Lopez when first moved to town, as many moms, teachers and kids at my daughter’s preschool went to her.
After a bad experience with another local dentist — and desperately needing work done, decided to switch over. And so glad I did! I’ve never felt more comfortable with a dentist ever. She’s very thorough, explains everything she’s doing, talks through options and didn’t even make me feel bad for not flossing as much as I should. (Come on we all have left the dentist office feeling shamed right!). Her staff is very friendly and accomodating and appreciate the VERY clean office setting.
Brought my daughter for a much needed check up and Dr. Lopez was so gentle and was making her smile/​laugh throughout the appointment. Now if I can just get my dentist — adverse husband to make an appt. :)

*Update: SHE LEFT TO OPEN A PRACTICE IN SANTA BARBARA*
Supposedly their staff is still good, and i’ll give it a shot and update you all.

About 6 years ago I tried a new dentist office. I was sad to leave my old dentist in the bay area and by luck i found this office where was a really good dentist there, Dr Stefanie Lopez.
Unlike other dentists who just scolded me and told me to brush and floss more, she actually explained to me how and why. She also did the exam and cleaning herself. At other places though I only got to see the hygienist lame.
She takes awesome care of my whole family’s teeth. She even remembers my name and has great personality to make you feel like important.
The office staff is great. Don’t let the voice fool you, Val is very helpful and professional. In fact, has helped me to be able to get appointments that fit my schedule.
The only downside is the parking, there is no validation, but it’s not like $ 20 for an hour, i think about $ 6. I just park across the street in the Marina Parking lot which is $ 5 for the day in the summer and $ 3 for the winter. This place is worth the slight inconvenience as I have never felt better about my teeth.
