I had a wonderful experience considering the circumstances. I came to bring my daughter for graduate school. I had an unbearable toothache I could barely talk or bite down. I googled dentist in the area since I had never been to California and didn’t know anyone to get a referral. I found Dr. Ko. He took X-rays, diagnosed me and attempted to send me to an oral surgeon for an emergency extraction. No one was available for weeks. Being sensitive to my pain and what I was going through he made a decision to do the extraction himself even though he stated he no longer does extractions. I was elated and so grateful. A few hours later the tooth was removed, the pain relieved and I was able to eat and be productive for the rest of my trip. The customer service was excellent from the receptionist helping to take my mind off the pain by telling places to go and things to do to Dr. Ko! I definitely recommend this place not just a dentist office but people who care!!

Excellent as always!

The entire practice is amazing! From the 1st contact with Esther, such amazing person to work with. The staff including Kimmie are very professional, thorough and just a pleasure and enjoyable dental experience! Right?!? Amazing dental experience is what you will get here. Dr Ko will show you all the places on your teeth that need action. He actually has a video wand that takes still pictures! He's awesome! You will never regret seeing Dr. Ko for your dental needs. Thanks team!!!

This was my first time here, but everyone was friendly, helpful, and professional. They went out of their way to really make me feel at ease. They follow...

I’ve been going to this dentist office since 2009. Retired from work in 2017 and moved 3 hours from Pleasanton. I still make the trek twice a year because they are the best!
More
We arrived here because the previous dentists we had delivered poor quality of work. So far, after one visit I can tell you that they are all VERY nice people; they were attentive and very thorough— looking at all previous work done and noting any problem areas, while being thoughtful in their delivery. The cleaning was very thorough and done by Maria who is extremely gentle and kind. My 85 year old mother gave me the recommendation for him so I knew Dr Ko was a nice man with a nice manner, haha... and he is! I was a nervous wreck going in and everyone went out of their way to support me. Thank you so much!

Love everyone in this practice! They treat me and my family with very personalized care

Dr. Ko is without a doubt THE MOST Professional, talented, caring dentist I’ve ever been treated by. And at 61 years of age, I’ve been to a few. If you truly want ‘THE BEST’ advice, treatment, friendly bedside mannered dental experience at the fairest rate you can find, come and experience what I’ve enjoyed here at Dr. Ko’s, from him and his entire staff, for over six years now. Sincerely, Michael Hyczar

Great dentist and great staff that make you feel at ease regardless of whether it’s a check-up, cleaning, crown, or major/multiple procedures. I finally have healthy teeth and gums because of them!

More
Great!

Best dental office ever! The staff are all amazing and take time with each patient to make sure all their needs are met and that you understand all your options. They dealt with the major anxiety that I originally came in with with kid gloves which made me more comfortable with every visit. They treat you like family and I actually look forward to going to the dentist for the 1st time!
More
Support staff is exceptional and friendly. The doctor was thorough in his exam. There were teeth he could have stated were problematic but after testing them, he declared that they were fine. He did diagnose one cavity and while he cautioned me that it might need a crown, he opted to do a filling first as a conservative approach. The process to put the filling in went well and he declared that there was no need for a crown - that indicated to me that he wasn't trying to come up with excuses to do more expensive work. He seemed knowledgeable, thorough, and professional. I was pleased with the service.
More
the best!

The visit was very good.
More
So gentle with his injections! The filling I had done was so straight forward and Kathy was so sweet!

I have been going to Dr. Ko for many years now and in spite of the fact that I am not a happy camper when I walk into any dental office, he and his staff do a great job of making the experience as relaxing as possible. Dr. Ko and his staff are always kind, warm and very welcoming. Dr. Ko is understanding of the fact that most people would prefer being just about anywhere than a dentists office so he does everything possible to make the experience as positive as he is capable. My wife is far worse than I am about going to the dentist and I could not convince her to go but, after some tooth pain she made the call. My wife was pleasantly surprised and very happy with the demeanor and service she received. If you are looking for a dentist that thinks of the client first, look no further than Dr. Ko.
More
Cleaning & X-rays went well, but I was disappointed that Dr.Ko was not available to examine a damaged tooth.
More
Great as usual
More
As always, Maria was very gentle cleaning my teeth. She and Dr. Ko always go out of their way to answer questions and provide reassurance.
More
Professional, courteous, and accommodating office! Though going to the dentist is probably not at the top of most people's "To Do" list (unless you are married to one), I can sincerely say that Dr. Ko and his staff do a fantastic job!! The overall office environment, modern equipment (massage chairs), and personnel demeanor actually make going to the dentist a positive experience!
More
The visit was very good.
More
Dr Ko and his staff are all very pleasant, thorough, explain diagnoses and potential problems, and are very willing to work with you.

The staff really take the time to get to know you, and Maria is the best hygienist I have ever had!

More
A very friendly and professional staff. I've been coming to Dr. Ko for a couple of decades since he took over the practice of the former dentist in this location. Dr. Ko is awesome along with his staff!
More
Had two great experiences with Dr. Ko. The first was a regular checkup and cleaning which was so gentle I actually fell asleep during the cleaning! His staff was very courteous, friendly, and clearly very skilled. The second experience was during a procedure where Dr. Ko replaced two old fillings. The numbing shots were very gentle, Dr. Ko is completely calm and at ease, and the procedures went so smoothly I actually dozed off during parts of it! This is by far my best experience with a dentist so far, I'm very happy I found them and will be a long term customer for sure.
More
This is the best dentist I've ever been to! Dr. Ko and all his staff are supportive and helpful in every way possible. Their compassion and care goes above and beyond. I have been going to dr. Ko for almost ten years and have always been 100% happy with my care. It's all in the details and they cover them all. Great practice!

Maria always does a thorough job and is excellent! Thank you!
More
Dr. Ko is brilliant! I never thought I would look forward to going to a dentist, but that all changed when I first met Dr. Ko about 20 years ago. He is highly trained and an exemplary dentist. Furthermore, he is highly professional, friendly and genuinely concerned about one's concerns..I have maintained a healthy smile for many years, thanks to Doctor Ko and his very special assistant, Maria, who has cleaned my teeth for as long as I can recall.I recently had Doctor Ko do porcelain veneers on my front teeth, and couldn't be happier! Everyone remarks about how beautiful my teeth are! I love Dr. Ko and his dental family that includes Maria, Kathy, his lab lady and his receptionist Darlene. Doctor Ko is fortunate to have these wonderful, friendly ladies working with him! It's a real pleasure to trust in Doctor Ko!
More
Awesome experience.

My dental experience with Dr Ko and his staff was amazing. Ester on the phone and at the front desk, Kathy his assistant and Maria the Hygienist were so professional and nice. It is a happy office and they go out of there way to make your visit a great experience. Dr Ko is so gentle and explains as he goes, making your visit a very positive experience. I must also say I had one filling done and Dr. Ko is an artist ,the nicest filling I have had done. .
More
I Wish I had gone here 30 yrs ago. Dr. Ko's clinic is next door to our family doctor. Our dentist, who we saw for more than 30 years, retired and we had to find a new dentist. After an appointment with our doctor, I decided to walk into Dr. Ko's office, and I'm glad I did. It was a very welcome feeling as soon as i entered the door. Ester introduced me to the staff and Dr. Ko. On my first appointment, Dr. Ko laid out my dental game plan after Kathy took a full mouth x-ray, and provided me with a very thorough explanation of what my procedure will entail. Afterwards, Maria, the dental hygienist, cleaned my teeth so well that I felt I shouldn't eat for days because I didn't want food particles between my clean teeth (just kidding!). Two weeks later Dr. Ko did my first procedure, i.e., a crown, which went very well and I am extremely satisfied with the result.
More
Came in for a cleaning m, stayed for the filling restoration.Last-minute opening and two old fillings were restored painlessly in an hour.Plus we caught up on the upcoming hockey season and our kids.I have recommended Dr Ko and they were very happy.
More
Always amazing care! Came in to cement on a crown and ended up getting a small cavity filled the same day! The entire staff is amazing!!
More
Maria always does a thorough job and is excellent! Thank you!
More
Excellent as always
More
Another great experience with Dr Ko.  I have had several crowns with previous dentists and this one was by far the best.  Really quick and though.  Everything feels so well and no pain during or after.    Dr Ko and his staff really set you at ease and are so professional. Once agin no up selling.   I never look forward to going to the dentist but I don't think I'll ever have anxiety over getting work done here.
More
Great as always! Kind considerate and thorough staff.
More
From Esther to Shelly and Dr Ko and Dr Gloria (all the people whom I actually met and assisted me) very professional but really showed they care about a patient.

Maria was awesome! She was very thorough with my teeth and gentle.

Dr Ko was very professional and explained every aspect of the visit in clear language, making sure I understood. He was respectful of the fact that I did not have dental coverage and was paying out of pocket. He offered suggestions and treatment plans without being demeaning. I will return.

Professional and thorough dental cleaning and exam. Maria is a perfectionist and very sweet. I've had two cleanings and I'm very satisfied so far. I would recommend for anyone looking for a new dentist in Pleasanton. He was out of network for me but worth the extra few bucks.

Dr Ko was very professional and explained every aspect of the visit in clear language, making sure I understood. He was respectful of the fact that I did not have dental coverage and was paying out of pocket. He offered suggestions and treatment plans without being demeaning. I will return.

My experiences at Dr. Ko's office have always been positive. He's very gentle and always makes sure I'm "doing OK" when I'm in that chair. :-) His staff is extremely friendly yet very professional. I was referred to Dr. Ko from a friend of mine a couple years ago and I would definitely refer him to any of my friends.

Dr. Ko is brilliant! I never thought I would look forward to going to a dentist, but that all changed when I first met Dr. Ko about 20 years ago. He is highly trained and an exemplary dentist. Furthermore, he is highly professional, friendly and genuinely concerned about one's concerns.. I have maintained a healthy smile for many years, thanks to Doctor Ko and his very special assistant, Maria, who has cleaned my teeth for as long as I can recall. I recently had Doctor Ko do porcelain veneers on my front teeth, and couldn't be happier! Everyone remarks about how beautiful my teeth are! I love Dr. Ko and his dental family that includes Maria, Kathy, his lab lady and his receptionist Darlene. Doctor Ko is fortunate to have these wonderful, friendly ladies working with him! It's a real pleasure to trust in Doctor Ko!
More
Great dental office - they are professional, friendly, and do an outstanding job!

I love, love, love this dentist and his fabulous staff!  The front office (Darlene) is such a sweetheart and is so accommodating in making appointments. The Dental Hygienist (Maria) is great!  My teeth always feel as good as new after cleanings.  The Dental Assistant (I forget her name...sorry) is a true gem too !  And I can't say enough about Dr. Ko....he is phenomenal!  He knows his stuff and is great at listening and explaining possible treatment options.  Since my husband and I began going to Dr. Ko a few years back, several of our family members have started going to Dr. Ko and even the pickiest relatives are completely satisfied!  BTW, the same staff has been with him as long I've been seeing Dr. Ko, which says a lot about their friendly office environment .

Maria was very kind and careful when she cleaned my teeth. At 51, I am starting to have exposed roots which are quite sensitive. So she applied some kind of Floride coating and topical anesthetic that really helped. My teeth felt clean and for the first time my gums actually didn't hurt. My last appointment was with Dr. Ko for a filling replacement. He was also very kind and careful. The procedure was painless and pretty quick. These people make a great team!

A '5+Stars' is given to Dr. Ko - and his impressive staff!  His position is, 'not just as an exceptional dentist' but with a heart for his patients.  In times past, i've always experienced unnecessary pain with other previous dental visits.  As a result, i've ignored having my teeth upgraded for many years - but then was forced into a position to have a more presentable appearance.  During my visit, no discomfort was experienced.  After mentioning that more 'booster injections' were required in order to eliminate the pain, Dr. Ko resolved the issue.  No pain with the injections, & no pain during the procedure.  I am looking forward to future visits.  After a recent exam with another dentist & then comparing other quotes, his prices are very reasonable.  I very rarely leave comments (quite obvious here on yelp  - but had to in this case).   Highly recommended!

The desk manager welcomed me as I entered the office. My dental technician Maria was very gentle and kind during my cleaning. I did take extra strength Tylenol an hour before the appointment to minimize pain. I was somewhat surprised that the dentist doesn't visit patients during routine cleanings and checkups. So, this review isn't really about Dr. Ko, but about his office staff.

What an amazing blessing this office is!!!  Dr. Ko is an excellent dentist!  I've been twice so far and my family and I are looking forward to great family dentistry care for years to come.  Dr. Ko and his office team set the tone for gentle loving care from start to finish.  1) User-Friendly Website: The website is very nice, user friendly and easy to navigate.  2) Great Location: The office is conveniently located in a professional medical/office building across the parking lot from Stoneridge Mall.  The inside smells nice, is modern, television is available during dentistry work and most importantly...the office is impeccably clean which is important to me in this line of work.  3) Quality Staff: The office administrator, Darlene and Dr. Ko's dental assistants are very welcoming, non-judgement and seem genuinely interested to get to know me.  I appreciate the fact that the staff are caring and well organized.  3) Stress & Pain-Free: Then there's Dr. Ko.  I told him after all my years of seeing dentists, I have never met a dentist in my life that is as gentle and good with the needle as he is.  Amazing!!!!  For the first time.  Both times that I've come for fillings, i didn't even feel the needle go in.  Dr. Ko, thank you for helping me learn to trust dentists again.  I'm so happy that many of my friends highly recommended you.  I don't see their reviews on YELP but for those that are reading this review...I received at least 4 strong recommendations to go see Dr. Ko on Facebook and in person.  After seeing him, he actually reassured me, giving me hope again and has taken care each time to carefully explain what he's doing as he moves along.  If you're searching for looking for a reliable and caring dentist you can trust, I strongly encourage you to give Dr. Ko a try.  God places people where he wants them and He is definitely using Dr. Ko to make a difference in people's lives in the realm of dentistry.  Thank you Dr. Ko :).

Excellent as always

I am a very picky person. Experiences in the past have shown me that I can choose the best. If I don't see the hygienist, or dentist or even the person at the desk being sensitive to me, I can choose not to continue. Some dentists, etc don't care like the used to. Dentist Ko, Maria, Liz and Darlene and others I might not know names are a excellent team. They all have gifts to help in their area. They are our family place and I am so happy as well as my 3 children. They took the fears away with the sensitivity and professionalism they have. Insurance papers etc., so well explained and helpful as Darlene knows her stuff. God bless the KO team.

I had a root canal the week before, and the doctor had to go through an existing crown, so I now needed a filling. Dr. Ko was extremely thorough in explaining the procedure before we got started. He allowed me to talk freely about my concerns and extremely low threshold for pain. He was very careful and patient. I was relieved to have almost no pain during the filling. Dr. Ko will definitely be my dentist for as long as I live in Pleasanton!

Dr. Ko and his assistants/staff provide outstanding dental work in a calm and very friendly environment. Whether it's a filling, crown, a (simple or complex) bridge, or preventive treatment (xrays, cleaning, etc.) you need, you can be sure the work will be done correctly and meticulously. I've had MANY dentists in my life, but Dr. Ko is the best, by far.

It's always a good visit to the office of John Ko, as everone there is personable and makes you feel welcome and comfortable. Cleaning and dental work is always done in a prompt and efficient manner, with patient comfort a primary consideration. I've been fully satisfied with all dental work performed and actually enjoy my visits there. Granted it's not a trip to the Park, but if one needs to visit a dentist I'd certainly recommend they go see John Ko. - Mick Duarte

I love Dr. Ko and his staff! They are very thorough and explain everything along the way. Darlene at the front desk went over my bill with me before I even had the procedure. Wonderful! No surprises when the bill comes in the mail next month. You can even make payments - for those bigger bills.I had a cracked molar and needed a crown. I have not had much dental work done at all, so i was a little apprehensive. Dr. Ko and Kathy (who assisted him with my procedure) were great. They explained everything that they were doing and were gentle, but worked quickly.I'm not a big fan of major dental work (who is?), but I will definitely be sticking with Dr. Ko and his staff for all my dental needs!

I do not have dental insurance, but was in agonizingly chronic pain from a tooth that just had to go.  My jaw was swollen from this one tooth and no matter how much Orajel I used, it wasn't getting better, and yes, I understand Orajel is not a cure, it's simply numbing medicine.I went to 1-800-DENTIST and they promptly recommended a few dentists in the area, but I decided to go with Dr. Ko because his office is not only across the street from where I work, but I read his reviews here on Yelp and based on that alone, I decided he's worth looking into.I called the office to ask questions regarding payments (a big concern thanks to lack of insurance) and they said I had some options.  Still have to pay the full price for the procedures, but was able to work out a payment plan, thank GOD!I spoke to Darlene on the phone and, let me tell you, she is one of the sweetest little ladies you will ever meet!  I always smile when I speak to her because her optimism is very contagious!Maria and Dr. Ko were both very attentive and gentle as can be, as well.  I had to be put on Amoxicillin one week prior to my procedure since I have a heart murmur, but I expected that.  At least I didn't swell when they extracted three teeth from the same side of my mouth!  That's right, three at once.  My teeth are a mess.  As I explained to Dr. Ko, my mouth is like a horror movie!Dr. Ko and Maria also excercised great patience when I was having trouble getting numb.  They ended up having to do a total of four injections of the local anesthesia (I didn't want to be gassed up).  However, once they were finally able to start my procedure, everything went as smooth as can be and there was no pain (that is, until the anesthesia wore off).  At the last minute, two of the extraction turned into oral surguries, but they did not charge me extra.I still have to have about $5,000 worth of dental work to go, but we're off to a good start and I will only let Dr. Ko and his team do my dental work.All in all, very friendly, extremely proffessional staff that work with you no matter what.  This is exactly how every doctor and dentist should be.  If you don't believe me, read the other 5 star reviews!  :)

Dr. Ko and his staff are great! I was having some pain, swelling and difficulty eating in the area where my wisdom teeth were pulled and he came through for me.  This was a Friday afternoon, when most doctors are trying to leave early and he told me to come on it.  I was a NEW patient and he and his staff still squeezed me in.  Dr. Ko was able to tell me what the issue was, give me steps to treat it and send me on my way.  He is now my son's dentist and my parents' dentist...I just hope that I don't run out of people to refer to him!

I come here every 6 months to have my teeth cleaned by Maria (dental hygienist) and she does such an exceptional job! She's very thorough and very gentle! She's been a hygienist for over 20 years and really knows how to clean your teeth properly. I've been to some pretty bad hygienists and they just don't compare to Maria. Not only is Maria wonderful, the whole office is such a delight to be around! Darlene at the front desk is so sweet, she makes you feel right at home, even at a dental office! Dr. Ko is an awesome dentist, I had a small cavity and I didn't feel a thing, even the injection which is the worst part! He's very thorough as well!I would highly recommend anyone to come here if they're looking for quality dentistry! The office is clean, the staff is amazing and if I could give this office more than a 5 star review I would give them 10!!

One of the best experiences I've had visiting a health care professional. Darlyne at his front office is a delight to talk to and exceptionally organized. She knew me on a first name basis as soon as I walked into the office. I waited all of 2 minutes before seeing Dr. Ko and one of his assistants. They used what probably is the most modern dental imaging equipment available and Dr. Ko took the time to explain everything to me. Hes a good guy - he played Ice Hockey growing up. Next I met with the Dental Hygienist, Maria, who also took her time to do the job right. The office has a synergy about it were everyone is professional and exceptional at what they do- there are no rough corners. If ever run a business I would hope to have it run as smoothly as Dr. Ko's office.
