Stephen N Dombro, DDS

Antiquated appointment system set up to make them money, it does not issue 20^th century appointment reminders such as email. They give you a sticker that your supposed to place on a calendar 6 Months from now and make sure you remember because if you miss an appointment they will bill you $ 50!!! Received a threatening letter from them after being a patient with them for years, it’s a shame they got so greedy.

Dr. Dombro and the entire staff in that office are wonderful. I’ve been going there for my dental check-​ups for over 20 years. Always a pleasant experience. They get my highest recommendation.

I found Dombro through a friend. I hated the dentist and would only go in for emergency care. I know, not a great plan. When I met Dombro I immediately felt at ease. His staff is friendly and helpful as well. I now go in for check ups! Thank you Dombro and family.

I made my first appointment out of pure necessity. I had a broken tooth. I hadn’t been to a dentist in 10 years since a horrible experience at Western Dental.
I took my time searching my dental network for an office that was close and had positive reviews. Finally stumbled across this gem of an office.
From the first phone call with Karen to schedule my appointment, to now, my second appointment, everyone has been amazing. The assistant Miriam is super nice. She chatted with me during the xrays at my new patient appointment. Helped to get me comfortable. I was seen by Dr. Miller. Extremely friendly and stellar bedside manner. Got a referral for an extraction on the broken tooth after discussing options with Dr. Miller. Other than that, I had one tiny cavity, hence the second appointment today.
My appointment was at 3:00, I got there at 3:03 pm. Greeted again by the fabulous front desk and didn’t even sit down before Dr. Miller called me back. 45 MINUTES, START TO FINISH! So awesome! Only 45 absolutely PAIN FREE minutes. I didn’t feel anything.
Got my 6 month check up already set. I actually intend to keep it and, dare I say, may actually look forward to going.

I don’t know how to begin to recommend how incredible Dr. Dombro’s office is! From the second you walk in and talk to Cindee and Karen, or speak to them on the phone! They are so welcoming and professional but at the same time… very friendly and kind, easy to talk to! Your fears or nerves of going to the dentist are quickly turned into not worrying at all! Both my kids who are now 20 and almost 25 have been going to Dr. Dombro since they were very young!
The office atmosphere is very family friendly and so relaxing! I can’t say enough about Dr. Dombro and his amazing staff!

After a horrible experience, I got a referral to Dr. Dombro from a friend. So glad I went! I’ve been a regular dentist goer my whole life, and have had braces twice, so I’ve seen my share of dentists. He’s as good as it gets! He didn’t try to sell my on a bunch of unnecessary treatments. He thoroughly explains things, and really understands things from the patient’s point of view. He frequently says that he explains the details because no one ever explained it to him when he was a patient and he didn’t know what to expect. If you’re an apprehensive dental patient, he is definitely the guy to see.

I have had some pretty horrid experiences with past dentists but not here. My most recent visit was due to a filling that came loose. The ladies upfront were very accommodating and we’re able to schedule me in the morning of the following day. The dental asst. was very nice and pleasant, she actually talked to me! Which didn’t seem like this was all business. Dr. Dombro always has so much to say that I wish I could hold up my end of the conversation! I enjoy hearing his insight on his life and past experiences. It makes the whole visit pretty comforting and of course, my teeth feel and look great! I will continue to come here as long as I can! Thanks Dr. Dombro!

I love Dr. Dombro and his staff! I am so very thankful he is «in» my network.
I’ve been here about three times already, and I am the worst at punctuality. I’m not sure what happened over the years, but my timing has gotten so bad. However, the ladies here are so nice; I never get scolded for being over 10 minutes late.
Dr. Dombro is sooooo incredibly NICE. I’ve been warned by the beau that he will talk my ears off, but not in the you-​are-​so-​annoying kind of way. He has a very gentle voice, similar to that of a masseur, so it’s soothing and he throws in a couple of jokes if you keep an ear out.
Dr. Miller is here too, and he’s done my bi-​annual cleaning. He has a very soft touch and my teeth felt so much cleaner afterwards. He’s much quieter than his partner, but still so polite.
Dr. Dombro did a cavity filling (I love candy D:) as well as a gap closure for my bottom two teeth (not sure of the proper dental term). I have experienced NO PAIN from any of my procedures! The filling was so tiny that Dr. Dombro said I probably wouldn’t need anesthesia and he was right! My teeth had been separating because of my bad habits of avoiding retainers, so he created «faux teeth» to build onto my existing teeth out of materials that look like teeth. (Can I say «teeth» anymore in one sentence?!) It turned out great. The material he used is exactly like real teeth and the best thing is, it is permanent! (Unless you would want him to remove it.)
I’ve been referring my friends and family here. Please go, he’s only the best out there.

Reception at Dr. Dombro’s office are very rude and demeaning. I was treated very poorly when I needed to reschedule an appointment. My employment is with persons diagnosed with mental illness, and the unexpected sometimes happens with my clients. I didn’t appreciate being treated so rudely because I had a change in work schedule, and could only call the day before to change my dentist appointment. I felt like I was being reprimanded. It was extremely unpleasant. I will not be returning to this dentist for this reason.

I just made a call to dr Dombros office to ask about insurance providers the accepted and I was met with a very curt and demeaning receptionist. So thank you for being so rude, we won’t be using Dr Dombros services. My wife and I are both insured so I take it as your loss. Next time simple polite answers will suffice if you don’t want more negative reviews.

Dr. Dombro and his staff are like family to me! I’ve been going for almost 20 years (I’m 26) and my whole family gets their teeth done by Dr. Dombro or Dr. Miller. Dr Miller is my dentist now and he always cleans my teeth himself, instead of a hygienist. I’ve never had a cavity yet, and if you knew my family’s dental genetics that is a big deal haha. I’ve gone through a few different insurances and have never had any negative experiences with them.
Good parking options, friendly staff, clean building, classic rock on the radio, and located right next to Valley Fair.

«If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain»…not the first thing you expect to hear when lying in the dentist’s chair about to be worked over, but thanks to the sweet classic rock piped into the room, that’s how my first visit to Dr Dombro started.
From there the conversation, or I should say, the dialogue – you see Dr Dombro is the loquacious sort by his own admission so it tends to be a one-​sided conversation, which is A-​OK since you have a mouth full of metal – continued along the music lines as he’s a fellow music junkie like me.
Never did I think I’d be swapping one-​hit wonder trivia with my dentist but wha-​laa, Rupert Holmes it is!
As for the cleaning, which was done by Dr Dombro himself with assistance from his extra friendly staff, I received one of the most thorough, well-​articulated examinations I’ve ever had! Gentle, caring and chock full of non-​preachy advice, his services are top notch.
And don’t worry about being bored in the lobby having to read Highlights from 1987… a lovely selection of current mags awaits your visit.
So open up and say ahhh yeah!

Why only 4 and half stars is beyond me! Should be an even 5! Dombro is a great listener and that can be surprising because of all the talking he does! He keeps you informed of what he is doing and what he is about to do. He and his wonderful staff understand that I believe that Plaque is a protective coating and it is a conspiracy of the Dental profession to keep removing it (humor). They understand I don’t want the lecture and I don’t get the lecture. Most everyone seems to be long term patients, so that speaks plenty!
If you need a dentist, I hope they can squeeze you in.

I just bought dental insurance for my daughter and the insurance web page gave me dr dombros name. I Unilocaled a bunch of dentists and ended up calling this one. They were extremely nice and informative over the phone. I was very happy talking to them. Unfrotunatly at the end of my conversation w/​the reseptionist it turns out they don’t take any hmo plans. :(insurance is tricky, but I would give this office 5 stars for the nice receptionist and her informative help. if I had different ins I would definitly go here.

Dr. Dombro has been my dentist for a long time. I feel very comfortable at his office. In fact when I walk in the door, I always say «honey I am home». Dr. Dombro, is a very caring, gentle person and he’ll always work with you and your specific dental needs.
The hygienist is great, she really does a thorough cleaning on your teeth.
The dental assistants and the front receptionist do an outstanding job.

It doesnt get any better than Dr. Dombro and his amazing staff. Talk about personalized care, making you feel you were their top priority always, and did I mention completly painless? Ive had too many root canals to count in the last 15 years and once I switched over to Dr Dombro I couldnt believe how much better a dentis he was than the many dentists Ive seen and the many specialists who have done endo treatment on my teeth. I dont often review but this has to be said because this dentist is by far one of the best. Ive started tkaing my children to him, 2 of whom are terrified of many things and one with High functioning Autism. Well, guess who their favorite new guy is, Dr Dombro:)
Dr Dombro becomes more than a dentist, I hope your family has the pleasure of including him as not just a health care professional, but as a friend. We feel just so blessed to have found him.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Dombro for over 5 years. He is very professional, thorough and friendly. I am confident when I visit his office that I am getting the best care. When procedures are necessary he explains every detail and listens to my concerns before we decide the best way to proceed. I have had to contact him after hours and he was as congenial as he is in the office. What a relief when you’re not feeling well!
The office staff is always very helpful, efficient and friendly. They do well processing insurance claims and are usually able to accommodate my schedule for appointments.
I think the cost of service that is provided is an excellent value.

Dr. Dombro has been working on my teeth since I had a pretty nasty bike accident last fall. I broke my front two teeth. I had always gone to my uncle for my dental needs, but I moved from Chicago to San Jose and found myself in need of some very sensitive dentistry. Dr. Dombro took me on as a patient after I went to an «in network» dentist who I did not trust at all. He met with me for a discussion of possible care and was a true professional from minute one. He did a great job putting on my first crown, and when I needed another one recently he did more great work.
Unfortunately, last night the tooth that had the temp. crown on it got infected. I was in terrible pain all night. Dr. Dombro gave up his lunch hour today to treat me. The relief I felt when I got my first novicane injection was almost worth the pain last night.
I cannot thank him enough for restoring my dental health and function.
Highest recommendations.

I’ve been going to Dr Dombro’s office for several years now. I typically see Dr Dombro for more «heavy duty» dental work (i.e. fillings) and I see Dr. Miller for my bi-​annual teeth cleaning.
Both Doctors are very good and have good chair side manner. They are very informative about my dental options and help me with my teeth care (without getting all preachy). They are also very gentle with my teeth and are sensitive to any pain I might experience. The receptionists are very nice and helpful. They always have current magazines in the waiting room.
Dr Dombro is definitely a talker, but he is very amusing. Don’t worry about replying to his chatter, he’s pretty use to running on while he works on his patients. Dr. Miller keeps up a pleasant flow of conversation, but he also also allows for comfortable periods of silence.
I would definitely recommend both of them to any patient.

I went to Dr. Dombro’s office on the recommendation of a colleague a few years back and I have been very pleased. They’re honest, friendly and really helpful.
The receptionists are friendly and helpful and very accommodating. They assigned me to Dr. Miller, whom I’ve always had good experiences with. He has always been good at explaining how to take better care of my teeth, what sorts of foods to watch out for, and great at answering questions. They also have great technology in the office, such as a machine that tests your potential cavities to see whether they really need filling. The first time I went in, I hadn’t seen a dentist in two years and needed a few fillings. Dr. Miller was very careful with the diagnosis and the experience wasn’t painful at all. The next time I went in, no cavities.
When my insurance ran out, I called the office and asked for their advice with finding an insurer and another dentist, and they were really helpful. They took time to explain my options, the benefits and drawbacks of insurance and what to look out for in the different plans.
Sadly they do not take my new insurance plan, but I’ve had terrible dentist experiences under my dental HMO plan and I am strongly considering dropping the insurance and going back to this office, even though I know it might be pricey – it’s worth it to have a dentist you can trust and a friendly receptionist.
