Suzuki DMD & Associates

Friendly and professional office– been coming to this office for a few years– the staff is friendly and always have a smile. Gale– she is amazing– always remembers your name and makes every visit worth a smile …

I’ve been going to this office for approximately 20 years, now my Husband, kids, friends, and a few co workers are happy customers too! Thank you Dr. Suzuki and staff for keeping Dr. Dickey’s practice a comfortable place to keep coming for all our dental needs!!!

I’m very impressed with the professional proficiency of the dental care I received. The staff is very friendly & caring. I highly recommend Dr, Suzuki!

Dr Suzuki’s office is great. The staff is so nice and the dr is great too. He knows what he is talking about and helpful. My kids did so well in this office and after their appointment, the kids got a toy and they were so happy to be there. Great experience.

Well,
I went in today for a deep cleaning. Andrea, who I’m assuming is a dental hygienist, started by stabbing me in the lip with the syringe. Then blamed her shaky hands on «a cleanse» she just started and kept stating the one cup of coffee she drank really got to her. She got one injection in and said she was too shaky and was going to get the doctor to finish the injections before the cleaning. Then, another staff member came in and told me they weren’t going to be able to continue at all. Now my face is numb and most of my day is shot. Very unprofessional.

I have received excellent care and service from Dr. Suzuki and his staff. I had a tricky nerve that wouldn’t numb. Dr. Suzuki researched my situation and I was able to be numbed and have some work done in comfort. What a blessing!!! My husband and I love Barbara, she does all our cleanings. My husband refuses to see anyone else. I never mind going to the dentist.

I just can’t catch a break when it comes to dentists. I had heard good things about Dr. Suzuki when I moved back to the area, but have been continually disappointed. He never remembers who I am nor any of my history, I’ve never seen him check a file or recall the last visit. He spends very little time, never can give you a straight answer, and always asks what brings you in. Well, if he looked at the patient file maybe he’d have an idea. I was just in earlier today for pain that’s been reoccurring since a procedure he did back in September of 2012, and again today he decided to go the «conservative» route… Just grind the teeth down a bit. Well if he knew anything about me he would know he’s done that twice before. He ultimately referred me to an endodontist. But when I asked «well, what do I do about the pain between now and then?» He snapped «is it really THAT bad?»
Talk about a horrible attitude. There’s plenty more I can say, but I think I’ve made my point. I’ll not be going back for even my cleaning at the end of the month.

I agree with the first review from Katherine E. I would like to add that I appreciate Dr. Suzuki agreeing to accept me as a new patient, after one DDS in Lodi and another in Stockton refused to see me further, due to my complex dental status.
The doctor sat down with me and patiently explained the situation with my teeth, helping me to understand my options, none of which will be financially pleasant, but they are necessary. Within the past twelve months, I have been treated by five DDS, two incompetents from overseas, who cost me $ 3,000 in work that now needs to be re-​done, and two here in California, who, while capable, seemed more interested in cash flow, since I am a self-​pay patient.
I just thank God I found Dr. Suzuki. It will be a struggle to regain my dental health, but, with his help and the support of his office staff, I am certain I will achieve that goal…

I know that everyone hates going to the dentist! Trust me I’ve had my fair share of horrible dental experiences, but Dr. Suzuki’s office is a one of a kind dental gem! The staff is so kind, helpful, and friendly! They go above and beyond to make sure your comfortable, from getting out blankets to when you’re cold, to helping with insurance! The office is always clean and well kept! And both Dentists are helpful and knowledgeable. They always spend time making sure you understand all your options!
I really enjoy this clinic and the staff! Plus the give you a flower every time you go, and you thought prizes were only for kids!

My husband and I are both patients at this dental practice. If you live in Lodi or surrounding areas, you will not find a better dental experience… from office staff, hygienists, dentists, and insurance desk.
1. Outstanding, thorough yet efficient AND friendly dental care
2. Highly knowledgeable AND friendly insurance staff
3. Efficient, highly effective AND friendly front office staff
I’ve been seen by two of the dentists, two hygienists and dealt with nearly everyone in the office… this place is like a well-​oiled machine… but with the human warmth that makes it EASY to go to the dentist.
I can’t recommend them highly enough! Go and enjoy… yes, I said ENJOY.
AND they almost always have a pleasant surprise of one sort or another for their patients… but I won’t reveal too much… it would ruin the surprise.
