Charles E Scholler, DDS

I was greeted by staff upon arrival and there was a feeling of happiness through out the office. There was no waiting. When she finished my teeth felt fresh and clean. Another stellar cleaning by Suzanne.

Had a regular appt. for cleaning. Jeannie, as always, does a fantastic job. I have a difficult set of teeth but she always takes her time and is the best I’ve ever had! Friendly people with a smile to greet you!

awful experience are entire family tried him and he ruined all of our teeth we are now paying to get all crowns and fillings redone since the insurance won’t cover it at a new dentist

Dr. Scholler’s office is great been going there for years. I don’t make it a lot but when I do it is like I’ve never missed a day, the Doctor and his wonderful staff always make me feel so welcomed. I would never go anywhere else.

My whole family has been going to Dr Schollers office since he has been in Somis. We followed him from the Marina Dental office. He has worked on my whole family, extended family and friends. He recently put in inplants for my eighteen year old grandaughter and they are amazing.
Dr Schollers office staff is very friendly and accomodating. We have always been treated with courtesy and if we had to speak to the Doctor they made sure he would contact us or make an appointment to see him.
Dr Scholler has always been polite and quite knowledable with all phases of dentistry.
If he needs to reccomend care he can’t provide he never hesitates to make sure you receive the appropriate care.

I’ve been going to Dr. Scholler for years and have always received the best care. I had tried dentists in Simi Valley & Thousand Oaks over the years but they were rank amateurs compared to Dr. Scholler. He’s just a great guy & competent dentist. I had two crowns put on years ago by 2 other dentists and compared to the crowns Dr. Scholler did for me, the other 2 were HORRIBLE, FAKE looking, and just plain ugly. I highly recommend Dr. Scholler. Don’t know what Eliza L is talking about… I’ve never, ever witnessed anything close to what she’s describing. The staff is always friendly & professional. I go in quarterly for cleanings so I’m in there a lot and know what I’m talking about.

Our family has been going to Dr. Scholler for more than ten years. We all have our teeth cleaned twice each year with their outstanding hygienists. We have had cavities filled and crowns made and installed. We have had Invisalign braces fit. In every case, Dr. Scholler and his staff have been professional and friendly; have outstanding customer service and we are well satisfied with all the dentistry that we have had done in their office. I look forward to many more years of teeth care at the little yellow house in Somis! Thanks, Dr. Scholler and staff!

This dentist has so many good reviews (which is why I chose him) that it seems my experience with him is unbelievable. In fact it was so bad on so many levels it is inconceivable to me he does not have more negative reviews, perhaps those customers just haven’t written any.
1. While I was there the staff constantly mixed up the left and right sides of my mouth, I found I had to constantly question to make sure what was going to be worked on.
2. The first time I met with him seemed alright, except for an off color remark he made that I thought was maybe just a slip of the tongue (after my other appointments I decided it was not). He noted I was previously from Virginia stating, «So you are not a Virgin… long pause… ian anymore *giggle*.»
3. I had a sonic cleaning in my first appointment after which I was told I would need another 30 – 40 min sonic session; I would have to pay for this because my insurance only allows so many. The hygienist, while very nice, spent handfuls of valuable minutes trying to sell me special toothpaste, mouth wash, and a water pick.
4. On my second appointment to do basic fillings the dental technician/​assistant starting talking to me about marriage and how she was engaged, she asked if I had kids. When Dr. Scholler came in he began a tale of how he was going to give her fiancé a vasectomy, because he did not want her pregnant. As he began working on me he said «I have all the right tools, I can sit him in this chair, and I have [this and that].» First of all this is not appropriate professional conversation, much less while you have your hands in my mouth. I am not a prude or religious or anything by any means, but this is not appropriate conversations. He seemed to stick to less provocative conversations with the older customers and was much …perhaps friendlier or more respectful.
5. On my second appointment I asked which side was being done, this was previously discussed and noted. The technician still messed up the sides. When I asked Dr. Scholler he read the chart correctly and told me the proper side and 3 fillings. When he was done he filled 4 teeth, failing to mention to me when he was working on me, that he was going to do the fourth. Not until I felt my teeth with my tongue and asked as he walked away did he say four.
6. The last 20 min of my appointment while curing and filing my teeth he was fooling around with the technicians and looking at their phone apps and looking at some article in a paper. Maybe that would account for number seven on my list.
7. Within 40 minutes of my appointment I knew my teeth were MASSIVE and also seemingly attached to each other. I called the office immediately and was told it would be a week before he would see me; I called again and received an appointment for the next morning. I have had many fillings and I have NEVER needed to have them adjusted before. By the next morning I was in terrible pain. I went in and he was very dismissive, I told him what was bothering me and he looked in my mouth and said, «The work is perfect.» He did a extremely minimal amount of filing, put the tools down, walked away saying with his back to me, «Find something better to do with your tongue.» SERIOUSLY!
8. Two weeks passed as I was in school and was not sure what to do. Only two weeks after my visit cement fell out of one of the teeth he filled, leaving a hole. I made an appointment with another dentist to look at my teeth. Meanwhile two days later excess cement that was overhanging past two other teeth cracked off from between while I was brushing them. I suppose the cement just cracked off as it was not supposed to be there… let me tell you this coming off created so much relief. When I went to the second dentist it was clear to him my teeth were too large. He «filed» them down. He then had to use a sickle looking knife to release stray cement (a «ledge» he called it) from yet two different teeth to separate them. He said the hole was created by bubbles escaping from the filling.
When I complained to the desk reception at Dr. Scholler’s office I was told he was the best dentist and no one has ever complained before. I only complained about how the tooth size issue was handled and the filling loss, not the chair side manner incidents.
I really liked the new dentist I went to unfortunately he does not take my insurance. Due to this and the fact I have to now pay for the tooth to be done a second time (not the mention the other fillings I still need to have placed) I have not had the tooth repaired yet. The hole has expanded this week and is now harboring food, so I am going to spin the wheel again and try out a new office.
(The scary reality about seeing a new dentist is you don’t know if it went well until the work is already done and it is too late.)
I do not recommend Dr. Scholler not only is his work faulty, he was dismissive when I asked him to fix it, and he is a jerk.

I just moved to town and instead of driving 20 minutes to my old dentist, I thought I would try the one that’s walking distance from my house. I had heard about friends coming from 20+ minutes away just to see Dr. Scholler because he was better than the rest. It turns out they were right.
During my initial visit — a routine cleaning — I had things done to me I had never experienced before in 15+ years of going to the same dentist! I expressed this to the hygienist who exclaimed this wasn’t the first time she had heard this. The staff there is very friendly and polite and extremely detail-​oriented. They take the extra time to ensure I’m getting the best treatment possible. They told me things about my teeth NO ONE ELSE EVER HAS.
Upon my second visit for a filling, Dr. Scholler actually uncovered a cavity that my old dentist filled in! He never got it all out so it’s been sitting in there for years. Dr. Scholler was very gentle, funny, and made sure I knew what was going on every step of the way. I was one of the last appointments of the day — the office staff had locked up and turned off the lights — but that didn’t stop him from spending the extra time to correct the cavity.
I can’t say enough about Dr. Scholler and crew. I’m thrilled that he’s right around the corner but even happier that I know I’m in good hands. Working on getting my family to transfer to him as we speak.

This is an awesome dentist. I actually followed him from Marina del Rey to Somis, but with a 25 year gap. He’s my favorite lifetime dentist, enormously skilled so that a tooth pull or filling is COMPLETELY painless. He’s a good-​natured friendly guy, and most importantly – he does NOT try to rip you off with BS charges. Straightforward, honest, direct, and he’s held that as his credo his whole career.
His staff is friendly, and his office is run efficiently, even if it does look like a dental office in Mayberry. That’s part of the charm. The hygienists are highly-​skilled and very very good at what they do. They go through great pains to ensure your comfort.
You simply won’t go wrong with Dr. Scholler or his staff. My highest recommendation.
