Wipf Vaughn F

I've been a patient at Dr Wipf's office for several years and have found all their staff not only helpful and service-oriented, but knowledgeable and consultative. They take the time to get to know you and understand your health and aesthetic goals to work through the options and land on the right plan of action. My wife goes here too and they even told her she could reduce her cleaning frequency compared to mine - a recommendation you wouldn't get from someone who does get to know you and provide patient-focused care.

I interviewed three dentists after my dentist retired and after being taken to the bank by a follow up shyster dentist. Dr. Wipf is heads above any other dentists I have experienced. He is knowledgeable, technologically advanced, and an all around nice guy. His staff is great also. I chipped a tooth and he tried a temporary filling for $35 which after 6 months is still holding up.

My last shyster dentist would have sold me a crown. I then had a sore on my gum and an endodontist said it was a fractured tooth requiring being pulled and an implant. Dr. Wipf again suggested a wait and see attitude. The sore is gone, expense averted, so far, so good. The best part of all is Dr. Wipf fitted me with a mouthguard for sleep apnea. It has changed my life.

I sleep through the night with maybe one bathroom visit and wake refreshed. No more naps. Best of all, I don't snore at all any more, none, zip, nada. It is just amazing, Dr. Wipf hits his mark every time. I give him 10 stars.

I have recommended Eric Wipf to several people. They always come back so thankful for recommending him. The whole office is always pleasant and send reminders of the appt.! My teeth cleaning went well and my check up too. You can't find a better dental office!

EXCELLENCE all around! Beginning with the overwhelming kindness of the entire Front Office staff, including Jennifer, Lauren, & everyone who has given me more caring & understanding than I deserve- I am SO grateful! As a young child, I had traumatic experiences with dentists which have been crippling & long-lasting. I used to literally shake in the dental chair. Dr. Wipf has accomplished what I'd thought would never EVER happen: my fear & trauma has been - finally - extinguished by his incredible skill.

How he accomplishes this is AMAZING! There is NO PAIN ever. Not on the initial numbing injections. Even the sound of that formerly terrifying drill is no longer piercing! It's a miracle. Dr. Wipf is clearly extremely up-to-date on the latest techniques - for creating crowns the same day (no sending out to labs) - & for searching out decaying areas, & so much more.

His emphasis on bio-ethics over profits is exceedingly commendable. He is a genuinely caring person. And he has a back office technical support staff to match (Lindy, thank you- you anticipate everything & I hope I've correctly remembered your name). Such understanding & expertise throughout! Dr. Wipf does amazing work, speedily yet very VERY thoroughly. AND - lastly but perhaps most importantly, he takes the time to speak honestly about how to save my teeth. (I have dry mouth among other issues). Dr. Wipf is patient with me, yet he doesn't shirk his words.

So yes, I'm doing what he's prescribed. He's finally gotten it through my thick head. So if YOU are searching for THE BEST DENTIST - please go to Dr. Wipf. You will have the BEST CARE, & the most gentle experience; & if you've had former trauma, it & you will amazingly be healed. That is no small blessing. There's a goodness which emanates from Dr. Wipf & all his wonderful caring staff.

I never leave reviews. but Dr. Wipf's office deserves this hopefully not-too-lengthy review, because I am so grateful. Also, I'm writing this because I hope that others like me can be reassured that finally, there is an ethical dentist with the expertise to match. Thank you all so much!

Terrific care. Prompt services. Easy scheduling. Nice facility. Dr Wipf does work as required, not like the dentist I left after my first visit in which I was told he'd need to drill 3 cavities that weren't there. Super pleased with the whole office to which my wife and I have now been going for a few years.

Dr. Wipf and his staff are outstanding. They take the time to give personal attention to my dental concerns and explain everything thoroughly. I also truly appreciate the office making me an appointment immediately for an endodontist. That level of care is rare.

If I lived in the Santa Barabara area, I would definitely use the dental services of Dr. Wipf's office and staff because they are always polite/professional, practice safety for the patient, and leave no questions unanswered. For this reason, I come from Paso Robles, about 128 miles away, for their Sleep Well Appliance for sleep apnea, a one of kind product and service that is insurance approved for the whole Central Coast.

Not only does it work as demonstrated and advertised, but Dr. Wipf's staff continued the support well over a year after, with only an email or phone call away from a response. Lots of Thanks to Dr. Wipf and Allyss. Cheers and Stay Well

This is a very professionally and friendly run business. All the equipment is up to date and clean, the air in the building feels fresh and Dr. Wipf takes the time to answer all my questions, providing helpful information. Shelby cleans my teeth and she is at the top of her game. I find going to this Dentist office to be a very positive experience.

Was a great experience! Happy to get my teeth cleaned plus my needed X-rays. I highly recommend Dr. Wipf's office!

We needed a new dentist, having moved back into town. I researched Yelp and found Dr. Wipfs' reviews and thought we should give it a try. Both my wife and myself booked appointments and went earlier this week. I have to say that the reviews are solid. The amount of detail on our initial exam was amazing. So thorough. The office was very clean, customer service was fantastic and our teeth are really clean!

Visitng this Dentist for having a night guard fitted. Very pleasant staff and a clean and comforting environment. The staff is very professional and courteous.

I did a sleep study and received a list of 10 dentists to have a dental device for sleep apnea made. Only Eric Wipf, "Sleep Well Dentistry" of Santa Barbara was certified by the American Board of Sleep Medicine (ABDSM) to make this device. Because Erik Wipf was certified, and not just a regular dentist, insurance helped pay for the dental device. For 4 years I have been seeing Erik Wipf and he is always super friendly, extremely knowledgeable and a very talented dentist.

The staff is top notch and appointments are always on time which is rare with other dental offices. I highly recommend Erik Wipf for all your dental needs as he is by far the best dentist I have ever known.

Dr. Eric Wipf is an excellent dentist. He has always been a top professional and a caring person. He considers the entire person not just the dental issues. He supports good dental hygiene for overall prevention of problems. His staff supports this philosophy as well by encouraging regular brushing and flossing. He provides pain free dental care. As a long time patient of Dr Eric Wipf I can recommend him without reservation.

I don't know anyone who likes going to the dentist. However if you don't go, it will catch up with you. Enter Doctors Wipf and Sharron. I've been coming here for at least 15 years. Erik is an SB Loc who took over the practice from his dad and has a real appreciation for his clients and the community. He is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and a great dentist, just like his dad. Luke is also an outstanding dentist and has been an awesome addition to the team.

His calm demeanor, deep knowledge, and empathetic manner always impress me when he's working on anyone in my family - and we all go here for our dentistry. The office has a great support staff and has adjusted really well to Covid. If your dentist doesn't get 5 stars, you may want to hit these guys up.

We had the same dentist for 13 years before moving back to Santa Barbara. I guess you can say we like to find our "people" and stick with them! So, it was a little nerve-wracking to find a new one for the next decade. We scoured Yelp, asked friends, etc and Dr. Wipf kept coming up. We made an appointment and were AMAZED by the level of organization at this office.

Not only was Dr. Wipf incredible (both my husband and I said our exam was far more thorough than with our last dentist), but his entire team is friendly and efficient. They just have it down and you can tell the office culture is solid. Also, as a side note, their Covid policies are 100! Temp checks, they spray their offices several times a day, masks and shields, etc. Grateful! If you can get in, you'll be thrilled with their quality of service. We've already referred them to our friends. Thank you so much!

Dr. Sharron is the best! We began my Invisalign treatment today, and should see a perfect smile by the end of spring next year. This past summer I had my neglected teeth worked on which came out so beautifully. I had been scared to visit a dentist since my college years, but this has been a really pleasant experience With Dr. Sharron and his wonderful staff. Super happy to have finally taken care of my teeth -- such an important part of our health regimen!

Dr. Eric Wiph and his amazing staff have taken care of my Dental care for the last few years. I had a troubling tooth that needed attention and they saw me right away. As a VA patient some hurdles must be jumped through. Dr. Wiph Wiph and his team took care of the hurdles and my tooth was treated. I am Blessed to have such great car from my great Dentist. Thanks so much for your help and support.

Dr. Wipf is as skilled a DDS as there is. Somehow visits here are different, in a good way. I never seem to feel the poke of the needles or uncomfortableness of gagging on a heavy X-ray tray or feel like I'm sitting in someone's grandads 1930's hand me down dentist chair. Awesome awesome staff! My dental work has held up perfectly for years.

My family and I have gone to this office for 40 years. Both Dr. Vaughn and now Dr. Erik have provided top professional services. I highly recommend this office. Janet Sandwall

Great dentists! The office is clean and comfortable. The staff are nice and courteous. Everything is state of the art. I get a cleaning every 6 months. Never have pain. I would highly recommend!

I Was having a very bad tooth pain that was causing me to have a massive jaw pain and throbbing. I called in and Dr Sharron was able to fit me into his schedule that day too look at the issue. Dr Sharron was able too take away the pain i was having and fit me in the next day to perform a root canal that took all the pain away. I still need a follow up visit but what a great Dentist he even call me at home that evening just to see how i was doing. Highly recommend Dr Sharron and staff. You Rock!

Dr. Sharron is awesome and I love that they don't push you to have any procedures like other offices do. They would rather have you fix the problems and make lifestyle changes before you jump to fills, root canals, or other expensive procedures. 10/10 recommend this place over many other dentists in SB.

Had cleaning yesterday. Always a positive experience. Erik genuinely cares for his patients. Great to see his ageless Mom, Dee, at the front counter. They are the best!

Friendly and on time appointments. Nice office staff and super kind dental hygienists. Zero follow through on phone messages (I've never had a message returned). Recommended for low maintenance patients only.

To say I am the world's worst dental patient is a gross understatement. Even during a routine cleaning I tend to devolve into a complete mess of a human being. Dr. Erik Wipf and his staff have consistently gone above and beyond to accommodate my irrational and frantic fear of dentistry. Dr. Wipf and his staff are highly skilled, gentle, and compassionate. I truly could not recommend a dentist's office more highly.

I'm new to Santa Barbara and I've found my new dentist! I found Dr. Sharron and his staff helpful, clear, and easy to work with. They got me in within a month. Dr. Sharron answered some technical questions in very helpful ways I hadn't heard before. The cleaning seemed thorough (I've had times at other dentists where I've had to point out areas they missed) and my teeth felt and looked great all over when they were done. I'm super happy with my new dentist.

I found Dr. Sharron after moving to Santa Barbara from LA. I procrastinated long enough and finally broke down and found a dentist office locally. I'm certainly not a fan of the dentist but Luke makes it an enjoyable experience. Even after moving to the Valley and having them drop my insurance (Delta Dental), I still go here. I understand the need for going out-of-network on Delta, they basically won't increase their payout rates to correspond with increased service rates over time.

In addition to Luke, the rest of the staff is great as well. Always very helpful and kind. The dental hygienists make you feel comfortable and make your teeth sparkle. If you're looking for a dentist in the Santa Barbara area, definitely recommend this practice.

Came at the recommendation of my husband, following a terrible experience with another local dentist. Immediately impacted by the outstanding customer service and general kindness of the staff. All the receptionists took the time out to introduce themselves (and my hygienist reintroduced me again later). Dr. came and introduced himself BEFORE I'd even had my teeth cleaned yet (first time this has ever happened in my experience), asked if i had any concerns etc.

I told him about an issue and he checked it out on the spot. I had my teeth cleaned and the hygienist was very nice did a great job. They let me know immediately what they could do about my issue and gave me the run down based on my insurance- a far more reasonable cost than the multi-thousand dollar quote I received at the former office. Another note is how persistent they have been as they have had ongoing issues getting my xrays from the former office. They haven't given up and have left me several messages letting me know they are still on it. So glad I found this practice!
