Kerba Steve, DDS

I just started going to Dr. Kerba’s office because my last (wonderful) dentist retired. I went for an initial checkup, and it was a smooth and pleasant experience. A nice assistant competently took x-​rays, and Dr. Kerba promptly reviewed them. I went to schedule my cleaning, and the hygienist popped in and said she had an opening if I wanted to take care of my cleaning right then. Nice touch! She did a very thorough cleaning, but it wasn’t painful. And she gave me a clear explanation of the bone measurements they do at dentist visits that I’d never understood before and have always been curious about.

Terrible bedside manner. Condescending and arrogant. I get my teeth cleaned every six months and about a month after my last cleaning I noticed dark stains between my bottom teeth. This was very unusual. Nothing like this had ever happened to me before. I was very concerned and very anxious. The only thing I could think of that caused this was the grinding tool they used at the dentist. So I went to Kerba and he didn’t use the words «you’re a liar» but he dismissed everything I tried to say. Could it have been the grinding tool they used? «No, that’s not possible» and so on. He said «I don’t know what your teeth were like before». But I just told you what my teeth were like before! I’m not going back.

I had a tooth extracted today by Dr. Kerba and it was the best experience I ever had at a dentist. He numbed me with benzocaine and then administered the novacaine. Then he waited 10 or 15 minutes so I was totally numb before extracting the tooth. I didn’t feel any pain. Dr. Kerba has a calm personality and explained everything to me. I felt very comfortable and will be going back soon for a cleaning. Thanks Dr. Kerba.

I’ve been going to Dr. Kerba for about three years now and I have found a honest, painless and comfortable office I actually enjoy going to. He answered all my questions with his true opinion and guided me to a beautiful smile I’m proud of.

I’ve been going to Kerba for years and he’s great because:
— It’s very easy to make an appointment
— He’s the one who cleans your teeth, not a hygenist
— He’s understanding about money problems (when I didn’t have insurance, he was okay with letting me skip my X-​rays until I got insurance)
— You’re in and out of the office super fast!
— He’s very friendly and makes you feel comfortable
The only downside is that he’s one of those dentists who asks you a lot of questions while you can’t answer them. That said, he’s much better about this than most other dentists I’ve been to, and it’s better than awkward silence.

After trying a couple that didn’t feel quite right, I’ve finally found a dentist in S. Bay that I trust — Steve Kerba DDS. He is located in the corner office of a complex by Cupertino library. His space is comfortable, clean and well stocked — you even have a tv on the ceiling to watch if you want!
I am usually nervous and afraid of dentists but Dr Kerba always explained what he was doing and kept me distracted with a light casual pleasantries. Thanks Dr… I will be back!
See ya there! :)
