PATIENT REVIEWS

Last year I woke up with a terrible tooth ache and called Dr. Austin’s office for an emergency appointment. His office staff was so kind and understanding of my situation and fit me in that same day. Upon arrival I was greeted with a warm and friendly staff to check me in. Within a few minutes of checking in, I was taken to an exam room where a very sweet dental hygienist reviewed my needs and took extreme care to not cause any undo or extra discomfort. Dr. Austin then came to assess the cause of my pain and determined I would need a root canal. I have never had a root canal before, so Dr. Austin very thoroughly explained to me the process and recovery time. I was very confident with his diagnosis and was quickly sent to a specialist to have the root canal procedure later that afternoon. Dr. Austin’s office called me the next morning to check on my recovery and again a week later even though they did not perform the procedure! I was so impressed with the entire staff and their patient care, that a few months after my root canal, I had Dr. Austin’s office fit me for Invisalign! I highly recommend Dr. Austin’s practice for all your dental needs. A friendly front desk staff, knowledgeable and compassionate hygienists, and a top notch dentist!

My wife and I have moved back to San Antonio after being away for 12 years. Of course, we needed a San Antonio dentist and we were very fortunate to find Joshua Austin DDS and team. My first visit was today and I could not be more impressed. From the greeting I received from the front desk staff, to the great care Valarie have while completing the x-rays and cleaning and finally to Joshua’s consultation, everything was the best dental care I’ve ever experienced. We are thrilled to have found this amazing team for our dental care. BTW, we are in our 60’s but I saw patients of every age. I would highly recommend these folks to friends and family.

Huge shout out to Dr Austin and his wonderful team!! My dentist retired and I went almost two years not seeing anyone, came to Dr Austin’s office on recommendation from several people at work. I had a few teeth that needed a little work, and therefore a few appointments lined up. In an absolute bind for childcare the sweet front desk ladies watched my baby for my final appointment! So grateful to find such a friendly office that does great work!!

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Austin for over 3yrs. He and his wonderful staff have always given my family and I the best dental care. The staff is super friendly they know us by name. The office is cozy, and super clean. HDr. Austin is knowledgeable, personable, and great with children. He always has time to catch up on the welfare of my husband and son. Dr. Austin has had to refer my husband and son out to specialist on a few occasions and each time I knew we were in good hands! Each specialist ranked top in their dental classes. I recommend Dr. Austin’s office for all your dental needs!

He’s the best dentist I’ve ever seen. His staff is friendly, kind, gentle, and welcoming. Everyone, especially Dr. Austin, are experts in their craft and have always provided the best service I’ve ever had at the dentist. My whole family goes there now and we don’t know what we’d do if he wasn’t in San Antonio because I don’t think I can go back to what dental appointments used to be before starting at Dr. Austin’s. He is an expert in everything from your mundane appointments to cosmetic improvements. He cares about his patients and always puts them first. My smile and dental health are at an all time high and there’s only one dentist to thank for that. Regardless of where I lived in San Antonio or the surrounding areas, I’d make the drive to see him because Dr. Austin is second to none in the dental game. Don’t hesitate to contact his office about any dental issue or concern you’re having because they will be there to give you the advice and counseling you need to get your smile and dental health to where it should be. And if you already have the smile you want, then there’s no one I’d recommend more than Dr. Austin to keep it that way.

Dr. Austin is a FABULOUS dentist. He does fantastic work, whether it is something small or large you are in great hands. His staff is wonderful, all the way from the office to the hygienists. Everyone has soft hands and wonderful smiles. I have been a patient for a few years and after switching I am not seeing anyone else. I am always recommending him to my friends and family. And I have a family who is a permanent client after a visit for their granddaughter. If you need a dentist, Dr. Austin is the guy for you.

Sorry about that,I felt very angry when i asked the receptionist if you are accepting dental access plan ,she wasn’t able to hear what I was saying cuz the mask and the distance made the communication so difficult ,I tried to take out the mask in order to speak clearly since we have more than 6 feet between us but she said no you can’t take it out ,so I left the office without getting any informations ,I fixed my mistake concerning the bad rating I gave you cuz you did not deserve it .have a good day

I have been going to Dr. Austin for many years after searching many years for the perfect dentist. I finally found him and wouldn’t go anywhere else! Dr. Austin is simply the best when it comes to teeth- he is incomparable and the very best in the city! He and his staff are always so warm and welcoming and will make you at ease. They simply make things effortless. They’re wonderful. Colleen is the best dental hygienist I’ve ever been to! I hardly feel a thing, yet my teeth are so thoroughly cleaned and polished after each sitting. I go every 6 months, without fail, which is easy to do when it’s so effortless. I used to dread going to the dentist for teeth cleanings, but Colleen makes it so enjoyable. She’s truly kind and caring and takes such good care of my teeth, as if they were her own. I feel like Dr. Austin’s office truly cares about me and my teeth and I know each and every time I visit that my teeth are in the best possible hands!

Thank you for a great experience! My family and I moved to San Antonio from San Diego and didn’t know who to call for dental care. A friend from church recommended Dr. Austin. Based on that, I called to make an appointment about a tooth that was hurting me, was examined the same day, and had the dental work provided all within a few hours. Not only that, but the care was so good while I received 2 fillings that I felt like I could have taken a nap during the procedure. I am very impressed and grateful for the awesome care. I will recommend Dr. Austin to everyone and have since taken my daughters and husband as well. Thanks again – Dr. Austin and the staff are awesome and we feel like you are all already good friends!

My review for this office has been long overdue! To start off I would like to give a little background of how I found out about Dr. Austin’s office and it actually occurred about four years ago when I was a senior at Health Careers High School. I remember my dental science teacher at that time raved about an excellent student of hers who has started his own successful practice. My classmates and I were lucky to have been able to learn about the top-notch technology that he was using when he spoke at our high school. Dr. Austin not only spoke at my high school but also at my university which is how I got reconnected with his office. Prior to being a patient, I was shadowing at his office for about a year, so I’m confident to say that I have learned a lot! It was amazing to witness so many transformative treatments, but I think what impressed me the most was the patient care that was given. Effective patient communication is one of the key factors that differentiate a good doctor from a GREAT doctor and I’m confident to say that Dr. Austin is a fantastic doctor. From what I recall every patient that I’ve seen come into his practice has left satisfied since Dr. Austin and his team provide the best care possible by treating patients like they were a family. A great practice doesn’t run on its own and my experience with Yaminee, Tiana, and Laura was nothing but spectacular. They are all qualified and talented healthcare professionals who made my time spent shadowing fun and educational. My experience there as a patient was quick and efficient since all I needed was a scan for a mouthguard. I have desperately needed a mouthguard for a couple of months due to my increasing TMJ pain and tension. My scans were sent off to a dental lab and I received my mouthguard after about 10 days. After using my mouthguard for a couple of weeks it has allowed a big weight to be lifted since I don’t have to worry about my clenching wearing down my teeth. All in all, if you come to Dr. Josh Austin’s practice you’re guaranteed to be in good hands!

First time patient today at Dr. Austin’s practice and beyond impressed with the cleanliness of the practice and the attentiveness shown during my cleaning. As Soon as you walk in they provide you with hand sanitizer. The pen they give you to sign is also sanitized. After I checked in I was escorted to the back to wash hands for 30 seconds followed by rinsing my mouth prior Colleen did a GREAT job explaining what she was doing while cleaning my teeth. I appreciated her explaining what she was doing. Very gentle hand when cleaning teeth. Dr. Austin closed the visit out by pointing out some things to consider and providing some recommendations. Very impressed with your office Dr. Austin – THANK YOU!!

BEST DENTIST IN TEXAS! Dr. Austin can clean your teeth, prevent major issues, and make your smile better than you or anyone else ever thought possible. Dr. Austin has been my dentist for years. I cannot imagine ever going to anyone else. Him and his staff are experts in everything they do and make you feel like family when you’re there. I used to dread going to the dentist and could never imagine a dental experience being so enjoyable. As long as Dr. Austin is open, I would walk for miles in the snow or Texas heat before even thinking about going somewhere else. He has handled cavities and cosmetic issues for me in such a way that friends and family have commented, “He’s not a dentist, he’s an artist.” My smile has never been better and my teeth/gums have never been healthier. If you’re considering Dr. Austin but worried the drive is too far, or he doesn’t have an immediate opening, just know that he’s worth the drive and worth the wait, a million times over. My whole family goes to him now and every time someone complements my smile, I say “Just go see Dr. Josh. He’s the best, and he’ll bend over backwards, forwards, or any other way he has to so that you get the service and results no other dentist ever told you were possible. There’s a reason he’s one of the most nationally renowned dentists in the country. So just book your appointment and find out for yourself what an exceptional dental experience can and should be.

I really do enjoy the atmosphere and the people at the office…..not to mention the professional cleaning work done by the Dental Technician assigned to me today. Dr. Austin is just incredible, friendly, professional and take the extra step to ensure you teeth are being taken care of…..and he catches things that I know my previous Dentist would not have……preventive care goes a long way in saving you expensive dental procedures in the future if certain things are not caught early and that is what Dr. Austin is very good at.

My family and I have been going to Dr. Austin for several years and have always been extremely satisfied with the dental work done. Colleen is excellent in examining and cleaning my teeth. She’s friendly , makes you comfortable and is very thorough. After she completes her work Dr. Austin checks you as well… very knowledgeable and competent and only recommends what you need. If your looking for a competent dentist with a staff that’s friendly and exceptionally thorough and you want a good experience, look no further.

I have been going to Dr. Austin for at least 10 years now and wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. I’m picky when it comes to doctors and he’s hands-down the very best. He and his staff are are always so warm and welcoming when I pay a visit. Colleen is exceptional at checking my teeth and keeping them clean! She’s so thorough and is absolutely the very best! I know I’m in great hands with her. I go every 6 months for a teeth cleaning and check up because I know how important it is and how closely related dental care is to one’s health. To be honest, I’m not sure I’d do that with anyplace else, but Dr. Austin and his staff truly make it so easy and enjoyable. I always recommend Dr. Austin and his staff to friends and strangers alike and won’t go anywhere else!

This dentist and staff are amazing. I have had such traumatic experiences with other dentists. I am missing my two front teeth after being assaulted in a car jacking which left my teeth knocked out. I’ve been through a very hard time emotionally and physically dealing with post traumatic stress and the financial burden of repairing my teeth over the years. I had a previous experience with a dentist who replaced the teeth with a material that’s not supposed to be used for a four unit bridge like I needed. The bridge cracked right down the middle after about 4 years. I was devastated. The other dentist refused to fix the bridge. I kept going back telling him I was in pain and he’d send me away. I went back and fourth for about two years with him refusing to fix it. Finally, I googled “best dentist in San Antonio” and Joshua Austin was #1. I was traumatized but needed to fix my bridge, took a leap of faith and made my appointment. Dr. Austin was honest with me from the beginning. He fixed my teeth with a stronger material, and he let me choose color, size and shape. He was determined to get it right from the beginning. Tatiana is the best dental assistant ever. She will open her heart to you and make you feel like you are completely ok, and that everything will work out. She held my hand when I cried, and she’d hugged me when I left. Lorene is compassionate and reassuring. She’s made me feel that my feelings matter, my opinion matters, and they won’t leave me high and dry if I ever need anything. She’s made me feel valid, not like just another paying customer. This is the best dentist office I’ve ever been to. It was more than just dental work for me. It was meeting compassionate people, and healing wounds both emotionally and physically. Dealing with PTSD is an ongoing process for me. But knowing that people actually do care makes all the difference. Bless this group of fine human beings for what they’ve done for the world!

From the minute I walked in, there standing at the counter were my friends. Not that i have met any of them before, but that is the way they make you feel. The best thing i can say about Dr. Austin is he is honest. With my past experience with dentist, honesty is the hardest quality to find. I am a talker and say things off the cuff! Natalie took my personality and ran with it. She took such good care of me and took so much time to make sure I was her star patient that day! Thank you Natalie, I can’t wait to see you in few weeks. I actually look forward to my appointments

I found Dr. Austin’s office based on all the reviews I read on here and Yelp. I knew I needed a couple of fillings because I could see the brown cavities on a couple of my teeth. I came in for a new cleaning visit and that was great. Cool digital technology everywhere and Angelica was awesome and gentle cleaning my teeth. I came back for a couple of fillings and that was fast and smooth. Afterwards I had no tenderness. Last time I got fillings done, I had a bunch of pain afterwards. Not so with Dr. Austin. It was painless and simple. I am busy and don’t have a bunch of time for follow up visits like I had with my last dentist. I love that Dr. Austin’s office respected my time. I will never forget them and will stay faithful as their patient as long as I live in San Antonio!

I moved to SA from VA in 2015 and I believe i started seeing DR.Austin at the end of 2016. I had huge expectations as my dentist in VA Dr. Amir Zamani was amazing so I tried multiple dentist in SA and did not like any of them, they all would recommended things that Zamani confirmed me that i did not need it. Until my husband found Dr. Austin, he loved it and i went to try it out with very high expectations but guess what the search was over. Dr. Austin was really good, he is trendy, is on top of the technology and he will not just say you have something to drill on your teeth ( that’s what all the previews one tried to do with me). I really enjoyed every time i go to his office as his staff is Class Act they are tremendously good. If you are looking for the best dentist in the SA area you should definitely visit DR. Austin, he got you and his staff got you! Stop looking if you are reading this go and make an appointment with him today.

I have never written a Yelp review, but I am so absolutely impressed with this dentist that I had to take time to do it! I am a new patient and was just in recently because I was having a problem with a tooth. He seemed to know exactly what he was doing. He referred me to another dentist because I would probably need an implant, so he sent me to someone who specializes in that field. I saw the other dentist on Wednesday and we discussed a plan to come in at a later date in the future for the implant. So today on a Saturday that tooth broke right off with the crown and all! Dr. Austin is closed on the weekends but has a phone number listed on the voicemail where you can call him for emergencies. I called and left him a message, and he actually called me back!! He was flying back from a trip and actually took the time on a weekend between flights to contact me, find out my level of pain and call in a prescription for me! This is a dentist who really cares about his patients!! He is friendly and a genuinely nice person, and after this experience, I can’t say enough good things about him! Even on the weekends he will call you back if something happens to your teeth! I am extremely impressed! If you want a dentist who cares, this is your guy!

A friendly and professional staff will greet you followed by a friendly, prompt hygienist named Colleen that will make your teeth feel so happy and clean! Dr Austin will make sure your teeth are healthy and will not run up a big list of items to correct like some other places I’ve been to. Our family of five have been very happy with Dr Austin since he opened his practice!

I was looking for a dentist closer to home, and Dr. Austins office was very close, the reviews looked great and their new patient package looked promising. The exam was pretty straight forward lasting about 90 minutes. Valerie took my X-rays, took photos, checked my gums and did my cleaning. (She was super sweet and did an excellent job!) Then Dr. Austin went over my X-rays and took a few more photos and asked about previews work I had, and discussed future possible fixes with the timeline to revisit them in 6-8months. Which I appreciated! I’m the kind of person that if someone tells me I need to get something done I usually do it without question and schedule it right away, and then think about it over and over and OVER and feel like I could’ve waited or it wasn’t THAT time sensitive. (Yes, I’m the kind of person that replaces 4 tires instead of 1 because the sales rep told me to ) Btw, the music here is ON POINT! It made my cleaning super relaxing and chill it makes the 90 minutes (which sounded like a long time to me at first) go by nicely. The staff was super friendly and everything seemed to be working efficiently. I believe I was seen at around 5-10 minutes past my appt. time. Which is normal. And being a new patient they had some paperwork (Some offices make you wait 30 minutes because they are running behind!) Overall, I recommend this office if you are in the market or just want to try a new place! The staff was friendly and efficient, the hygienist and doctor were skilled and thorough and the ambiance was A+! Now, If I could only find their music playlist

“Great service, pleasant atmosphere and very friendly staff. Thank You” Angelica and Leslie were GREAT and did a wonderful job with our cleanings!! Being how it was initially our first “dental cleaning”as new patients at office I have got to say that our overall experience was great. From Friendly inviting front desk staff, which (first impressions are always important) right down to warm and friendly conversations with our Hygienist. We were referred to by a family friend and i am so very thankful that we were. We drive from across town for our dental visits and its worth every mile!!! Keep up the great work!!

Dr. Austin is extremely professional and gentle. He extracted one of my wisdom teeth a few months ago, and I was really surprised how easy the process was. Colleen, my hygienist, is fantastic! She’s cleaned my teeth twice now, and she’s always so friendly, energetic and patient. We had a really genuine conversation throughout the entire visit, and she didn’t seem to mind pausing her work to let me talk some too! She was very professional, and the entire office is sparkling clean and modern. Dr. Austin will be my dentist for the foreseeable future.

I never thought I would say I actually LOVE going to the dentist but since I found Dr. Austin, I have to say that I enjoy going to my appointments now. He is so knowledgable, friendly and will take his time to explain everything to you. His staff is so friendly and professional they always make you feel at home. My appointment was quick and easy, love that! Thank you to Dr. Austin for doing such a great job. I am so proud to call him MY Dentist:) I will definitely be recommending him to my family, friends and even strangers;) AWESOME place all around.

I had a fantastic experience at Dr. Austin’s office. I was very apprehensive at first, but I quickly felt secure knowing that I was getting the best of the best. As Dr. Austin removed my class II gold inlay on #5, he was careful to use an adequate amount of water with his high-speed handpiece to avoid overheating the dental pulp. I also suspect that with his minimal use of slow-speeds and lack of vigorous usage of hand instruments, pulpal inflammation was very minimal. After verifying adequate retention and resistance forms, Dr. Austin, humored me and placed a glass ionomer base over my dentin followed by a fourth generation bonding agent (thank you for not leaving the etch for more than 15 seconds). I seriously don’t know why dentists feel that they can etch, prime and bond all at once! Are 7th generation bonding agents really that great? Another touch of class was the sectional matrix as an anatomic contact is awesome. I really appreciated Dr. Austin’s judicious use of a nano-hybrid composite. The polishability and metamerism are incredible. I was happy that there was no bulk placement and curing. Also thank you for following the last increment with a brush and bond to make sure margins were sealed. It did take him a minute to make sure that I comfortably reached maximum intercuspation and had no working or non-working interferences. The coup de grace was actually taking the time to make sure the marginal ridge was anatomic as well.

I was referred here by a friend and was not disappointed. Colleen cleaned my teeth and I saw Dr. Austin after. It was a wonderful experience (even for a dentist!). Dr. Austin recommended a few things to help with sensitivity that were financially do-able. Scheduling is easy after your initial new patient appointment (you will have to wait a while for that first appointment). They can confirm appointments via phone or text message. The front staff is pleasant and wonderful. I never knew I could like going to the dentist so much! The office is very clean and comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Had my first appt this week and they squeezed me in after someone canceled- previously a 3 month wait for new patients! My dental hygienist Angelica was friendly, thorough and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Austin spent much time explaining my treatment plan and explaining necessities vs cosmetic improvements. He was great at providing treatment options without the pressure of sales. Dr. Austin made me feel like family and it’s the first time I’m excited to go back to the dentist to get the help I need! They gave me a treatment plan with breakdown of Ins. Coverage vs Out of Pocket. I appreciated knowing in advance what everything is going to cost. He’s worth the long wait to get in as patient– don’t waste your time anywhere else. I previously went to another dentist who quoted me for $300 for filling repairs that Dr. Austin said I didn’t need. Be available when people cancel and you’ll get scheduled faster!!

My routine cleaning was rescheduled due to the COVID-19 shutdown. Luckily, I was able to get in shortly after they were able to reopen. The staff is always professional and the office is top-notch, but they really went the extra mile to assure all possible COVID precautions were in place. New check-in procedures, hand washing, rinsing and PPE for all staff were all done to mitigate any possible transmissions and put my mind at ease. The new protocol was effective and efficient and I was in and out in no time with a bright new smile! Kudos to the staff and Dr. Austin, I”ll see you all in the fall.

Tried another dentist just to get a Sunday appointment. But man! After experiencing that dentist just wing it and send me right back out.. not only am I willing to take off work, but now travel over an hour to get to Dr. Austin. I assure you it is not fanatical, but for good reason: 1. Their staff does a thorough job: my hygienist cleaned every nuke and cranny and I gladly felt it. 2. Dr. Austin is one of a kind and knows what he’s talking about; very intelligent. Like how he doesn’t cut back on advancing technology as well. 3. They don’t sell cavities like most commercialized chains. Dr. Austin will lay your dental condition on the table and let you decide where you want to go with no pressure. In the end, I feel confident that I will keep my teeth in place and never have to get dentures thanks to Dr. Austin’s expertise

Dr. Austin and his staff offer the newest and best in dental care technology. They are always professional, accommodating, personable, punctual and honest about the care and treatment plan necessary. He never over-treats a diagnosis, often saying we will wait and watch a particular area of concern, hoping solutions like fluoride toothpaste and gentle brushing prevent further erosion, decay and treatment. However, if something needs immediate attention, like a chipped tooth or a dental emergency, Dr. Austin makes time to get you in and treats it accordingly. Every visit is enjoyable as he and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and keep the office impeccably clean. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

SO HAPPY I FOUND DR. AUSTIN!!! I have to admit, I am not the biggest fan of dentists, which is why I avoided going to see one for years. Finally, my friends encouraged me to go see Dr. Austin and I am glad I did. Every time I step foot in his office I experience an unparalleled level of decency, honesty, and compassion. His staff goes out of their way to make sure I am cared for, that my concerns are addressed, and take extra steps to relieve my anxieties. This level of comfort combined with the expertise and quality of care is why I will be a patient for life. On top of that, I’ve referred a number of my friends his way and all had wonderful things to say often echoing my sentiments. If you are looking for a highly recognized and decorated dental team known for their patient care, then make an appointment with Joshua Austin. You will be glad you did.

I recently had an absess, root canal and cleaning. I also have my Invisaligns with Dr. Austin. Thank you! My daughters and husband go to Dr. Austin, as well. He is friendly, always on time, gentle and helps me with any problems I’ve had! My hygienist is super! She’s also very gentle. All the employees are personable and do a great job. The office is super clean and modern. Great music, too! Great dentist!

I came to see dr austin after not having been to the dentist for a few years. i was expecting the worst. I was really surprised about how well this went. going to the dentist has changed in the last few years. all the X rays were digital which was cool. the hygeneist also did a 3d scan of my mouth. dr austin used this scan to give me basically a 3d view of my mouth. I was able to see all the things that dr austin talked about. I had a broken tooth on the bottom. I had never seen how bad it was!!! dr austin fixed it that day and he used the same scanner to make the cap. last time i had a cap done, i had to have a mouthful of goop so it was nice to not need that. I really like the upto date things this office has. They seem like they are on top of it and it made things really easy for me. 5 stars!!!

I have been going to Dr. Austin for at least the last 10 years. He and his staff are always professional, competent and willing to answer any and all questions. They always put my interests and health first. I not only have regular cleaning done there but also have had several procedures that I am 100% satisfied with. Dr. Austin will also take the time to listen to any questions or concerns you have about your teeth issues or cosmetic options that you may be considering. There is never any pressure to take any action, only options for the patient to consider. I appreciate that style. I highly recommend Dr. Austin and his team. They collectively are the best dentist office I have every interacted with
