I’ve been a patient of Schuster and Ochoco Dental for nearly 40 years, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly. Dr. Roger Schuster built an exceptional practice, and Dr. Aaron Ochoco has continued that tradition with outstanding care. The entire team is professional, friendly, and genuinely cares about their patients. Their honesty, expertise, and commitment to excellence have earned my trust for four decades.

Very friendly and great environment. Dr Ochoco saved a tooth that another dentist said could not be saved.

I had a teeth cleaning with Dr. Ochoco and it was honestly one of the best dental experiences I’ve had. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming and professional. Dr. Ochoco was thorough, gentle, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The cleaning was detailed but comfortable, and I never felt rushed. You can tell he truly cares about his patients and takes pride in his work. The office is clean, organized, and runs smoothly. I highly recommend Dr. Ochoco to anyone looking for quality dental care!

Cannot recommend this practice enough. I have severe dental anxiety and have been struggling to find a dentist that is comprehensive, does not upsell to its patient and creates a safe environment. My teeth have never been healthier and going to the dentist is no longer something I avoid. Their whole staff is professional and friendly from the very moment you walk in! Bonus there are ceiling televisions if you’re here for a longer procedure. Feeling grateful to have found my forever dentist!

Switched over here when my long time dentist retired and they are great! Easy to get an appointment and painless cleaning.

Such an incredibly pleasant experience. The dentists and the support staff are personable as well as uncompromisingly professional. I felt both comfortable and safe. The office equipment is up-to-date and the space per se is light-filled, clean, and modern. I am so happy to be a client here.

I’m so grateful to have been referred to Dr. Ochoco. I destroyed my two front teeth 10 years ago and have had dentist nightmares repairing chipped bonding over the years. I had a recent chip over the weekend and was able to be seen on Monday! The office was lovely and the front desk manager was so kind and welcoming. Dr. Ochoco is the first dentist to offer honest advice, patient and gentle treatment. My front teeth look amazing and I feel confident knowing I have found a talented dentist I can trust!
