Christopher H. Joy, D.M.D.

Wonderful, Professional, Awesome! Caring staff, cleaning was very good, with all questions answered.

Always a professional, friendly experience. Dr. Joy has employed the maximum COVID procedure available, the staff is incredibly attentive to my needs and ensures that everything I do is in compliance. Not to mention the great work that the staff does on my behalf.

Very thorough cleaning. Less pain on hitting the gum than cleaning sometimes involves.

Great experience all around. I've been a patient of Dr. Joy for many years and have always been taken care of in a caring and professional manner. Cam is the best at getting my X-rays done quick and easy, since I really have a hard time with those. All the staff are fantastic.

Great service snd very nice people. I trust my dental to them with full confidence . They are helpful, friendly, they have top technology instruments and even nice pictures on the walls . 🤩

Excellent dental care, highly competent and highly professional. I only wish I had switched to Dr Joy years ago!

One of my crowns came off while flossing. I called the office and left a message. Liz got back to me in minutes and set up an appt for the next day. I went in with my recently separated crown, and Dr Joy was waiting for me. They took me to the dental work chair and got right to work prepping my tooth and cleaning the crown. 30 minutes later it was re-attached and I was on my way. They are always very responsive to my needs, especially when I have an unexpected emergency.

Best dental care ever - for well over 30 years!! I even drive 200 miles round-trip for care. Professional, thorough, consistently strives for and achieves perfection!

Extraordinary precautions taken to keep you safe Including hepa filtration in rack exam room

Dr. Joy’s practice is outstanding from the great receptionists and office staff who greet you when you arrive and help you schedule your next appointment, to the extremely competent, thorough, and delightful dental hygienists, to Dr. Joy who is very helpful in determining just what you need to maintain healthy teeth and a bright smile!

Excellent. Dr Joy is absolutely wonderful.

Thank you so much to Dr. Joy and his team. Always a super professional and knowledgeable and very welcoming team.

Updating this 7 years after the original posting. Dr Joy continues to be amazing - he now has 4 family members as patients and we love it. Great service and treatment. Having a dentist in the family back in the UK I have some idea of what to expect, and Dr Joy has been superb. -------- Fantastic - really an amazing dentist. I had a horribly complicated issue with broken teeth, fillings and serious wear and all sorted out in visit. Quite amazing, and with a grandfather as a dentist I'm aware how technically difficult some of these issues are to fix. He's also charming and very efficient, so my whole family are now in his practice.

At last I found “MY” dentist. As an 85 yr old woman whose favorite dentist died 20 years ago, I think I finally found a new dental home. I felt very confident in dr. Joy. His whole staff was friendly and competent. I think he’s going to be our new family dentist.🦷

A great dental experience - consistently excellent work and a kind and supportive staff from dental assistants to hygienists to reception and of course Dr. Joy himself. Thanks everyone!

Great experience, great service!

He is fabulous. Does a great job.

Top shelf environment and care in all regards, including Covid procedures and cleanliness.

Dr Joy is the best! I travelled from Maui to consult with him and he solved the issue, Found time on his schedule to complete the dental work so I could return home the next day. His office is spotless, staff is friendly and efficient. The dental assistants were most helpful and attentive. One gave me a jaw massage to alleviate stiffness - it was kept open for a long while.

I recently had a dental emergency, which was handled by Dr. Christopher Joy and his staff. Despite the urgency and my own anxiety, Dr. Joy’s careful examination, diagnosis and recommendations, were patiently and thoroughly explained. His experience, expertise and enthusiasm helped me to make decisions quickly, with confidence. It was clear that I had his full attention, and that of his excellent team, throughout the visit. Simply the best dental care, delivered with a deep commitment to the folks his practice serves. Very highly recommended!

terrific outfit

Dr Joy is a great dentist. Very knowledgeable guy with great judgement.

I have worked with Chris Joy for more than 20 years. The most important criteria for choosing him: he is a perfectionist. I first went to him when a young woman who worked for me told me that when she visited her dentist father, he expressed astonishment at the quality of the work she had received. I immediately switched. That was 1990. His staff is professional and efficient, always pleasant and it is pleasure to see the photos that Chris has taken and uploaded onto the screen that displays those photos when he isn't reviewing a photo of your teeth (that he took) and explaining exactly what aches and why or what needs work and why. I highly recommend this practice.

As always, service with a smile, plus photo review. Chris, you're always welcome to borrow a digital Hasselblad to play withy. I have a50mb, and a 100mb resolution camera, try either or both. top by or remind me to bring them at our next session. Steven

Dr. Joy is very attentive, energetic and friendly. He very proficiently uses many novel high-tech devices, which allows him to do everything very efficiently and reliably, I was quite impressed by it. There are many air purifiers everywhere. He makes every effort to keep patients safe at the time of COVID.

Amy is always friendly and does a thorough cleaning.

Always kind, thorough, and professional. Extraordinarily clean office and up-to-date equipment. In every way Dr. Joy's practice is outstandingly excellent.

Professional care, as always!

The best! Always, consistently, outstanding service in all ways.

My first appointment at Dr. Joy’s office. I’d heard great things. He and his office staff lived up to the hype. :) I highly recommend.

It's actually a pleasure to visit Dr Joy's office, where everyone is very friendly and the work flow is smoothly coordinated throughout the team. Equally important, Dr Joy himself is an outstanding DDS with a great personality. If you're looking for a new dentist, don't hesitate to go with him.

Dr. Joy and his staff are highly professional and always do great work.

Beneficiary of excellent care and advice for 25 years. Dr. Joy is an excellent clinician and advisor.

Dr Joy and his staff are awesome! I recently had some tooth pain and Dr Joy quickly figured out that I had a cracked tooth. He fit me in to his busy schedule and made a crown, right there on the spot using some amazing technology. Dr Joy makes you feel comfortable during what could be a stressful procedure. I always feel confident that he and his crew will take good care of me.

Dr. Christopher Joy and his team are absolutely Best-in-Class !!! They are nice, friendly, highly-experienced professionals who are at the forefront of dental technology and preventative dentistry. Importantly, they are true artisans who are committed to making your dental experience very efficient and pleasant. Give them a try...I do not think you will ever go anywhere else.

Everything went great, so nothing but approval from here.

Excellent care and staff.excellent experience

There is no doubt that the Dr. Joy, and his staff, provide first class services. The environment feels comfortable and clean. I appreciate that masking rules are still in place because I am immune suppressed. I don’t make antibodies to Covid, even after 4 vaccinations, and I’m allergic to flu vaccines.

Hands down the best staff and best Dentist that I've had the pleasure (did I say pleasure about going to the Dentist) of taking care of my teeth in my 70 years.

I was strongly recommended Dr. Joy in the peak of Covid-19 pandemic when I broke a crowned tooth ( premolar) at the gum line. Since I was not a good candidate Dr. Joy did an amazing job in building a new premolar with a post and crowning it with the adjacent tooth. Since then I had other dental work done by him and I have been very happy with his work. He approaches difficult dental problems with the enthusiasm of a scientist trying to solve an important problem. Based on my recommendation my wife went to see Dr. Joy as well. She had a full set of crowns installed by Dr. Joy and she has been extremely happy with her new teeth. We are both very thankful to Dr. Joy and his team for the outstanding dental work they have done and recommend his practice without any hesitation.

I've been a patient of Dr. Joy's for decades. He is the most learned, kind, and compassionate dental professional and, huge plus, every single person on his team is outstanding. My husband and I wouldn't dream of seeing anyone else.

Lizzie (Dental Hygienist) is excellent! Our entire family goes to Dr Joy's office for dental needs. And in general, that whole team (incl Dr Joy) are superb. Highly recommend.

Arrived early for a cleaning and was pleased to be met by Dr. Joy who said he could deal with the refinishing a recent procedure. It took a half hour and I was on time for my cleaning.

Such a dedicated staff and a truly wonderful doctor.

highly recommend. Experienced. friendly. efficient. clean environment. Excellent treatment.

I went in for a second opinion on whether to get a dental procedure done or not. Dr. Joy was thorough, balanced and articulate in his evaluation.

This clinic is the best! the staff are very friendly and professional

Dr Joy still has the best Dental Office on planet earth.

I am grateful for the fabulous care I receive at Dr Joy’s office!

Top rate experience. They really know what they are doing!

Excellent dentistry, great communication, very clean office- teeth cleaning is exceptional and surly helps fight gum disease.Staff is friendly and smiling… oh and the Margaritas are great Oops, wrong review. I’ve been a verifiable patient of Dr. Joy for16 years. Michael

I actually look forward to visiting Dr Joy. Can you say that about any other dentist?

Always organized, friendly and on time! :)

Excellent care, with clear explanations of any issues. Always helpful guidance on how to deal with issues.

As always making my health better through thorough attention...much appreciated! (and wonderful people! : ) )

Always incredible staff. 19 year customer and going strong!!!

Dr Chris Joy and his team are fabulous! Every person in his office is a caring and conscientious professional. The well-being of their patients is clearly their highest priority.

I have been a patient of Dr. Joy’s for over 30 years. I highly recommend him and his staff. Everyone is friendly, caring, and professional.

Outstanding! I am grateful to have such exceptional talent and caring in our midst. And so clean and friendly! Aptly named, Dr Joy, for indeed the joy is palpable among the entire staff and even the guests in the lobby for they know that they are in great hands and in the midst of greatness personified! PS also check out Dr Joy’s inspiring photography - you will feel as though you have traveled to some of the most beautiful places in the world - and/ or you may be compelled to go! You will get glimpses of both man and nature’s magnificence… Majestic animals up close too! A real treat all the way around! Here’s to your happy, healthy, bright smile! En’joy Dr Joy and his outstanding Team!! This review written with my heartfelt thanks!

My husband and I consider ourselves very lucky to have found such an incredible dentist to care for us. His entire staff is exemplary, with each person committed to efficiency and warm support. There is not a better team to be found and we are grateful.

The care was excellent. Receiving texts at 8:00 am on Sunday really annoying. It’s the morning I can sleep in.

I have been meaning to write this review for a long time. I have been going to this office for 43 years and cannot say enough good things about it. Initially I saw Dr. Joy’s partner until he retired, but have been with Dr. Joy for many years now. My dental care has been complex requiring many crowns and several implants. Dr. Joy and his staff are incredibly kind, professional, and expert at what they do. I shudder to think what my teeth would be like if this office had not been recommended to me by a dental hygienist in SF who had heard wonderful things from other hygienists working there. They are very careful about your comfort and appearance as well as your dental health. They communicate well and are thoughtful in regard to answering any questions you may have. I promise you, you will not be disappointed if you select Dr. Joy. His name is fitting!

Dr Joy is a truly great dentist, his penultimate skill, experience, artistry, and detailed work is the best possible, and he has solved complex difficult problems for friends who’ve had unfortunate experiences elsewhere… The hygienists are all great, and the office is lovely, pristine and the latest tech for clean air and all procedures. Lizzie is a wonderful, skilled, careful Dental Hygienist, a great educator and the most effective and gentle motivator I’ve had in my lifetime for regular self- dental hygiene…very grateful for her… Close friends and I have been getting my dental care from Dr Joy for years, it’s consistently a great experience, all problems get solved perfectly.

Amy did a meticulous job cleaning my stained teeth which now look and feel much better. Thank you!

Personnel are very careful with protective coverings to protect the patient. Protocol includes taking temperatures and O2 blood saturations, alcohol based hand washings & then washing again before & after with soap and water. Dr. Joy and his staff are always very thorough in caring for my teeth and, indeed the entire mouth. We have been patients of Dr. Hoffman and then Dr. Joy for over 44 years. Wouldn't go anywhere else. An update as of 09/21/21: Not doing the double hand washing or O2sat., but all other precautions in place. Staff are bundled up in all sorts of gear for the protection of all. The blanket & pillow were a nice touch for patient comfort. An update as of 3/22/22: Many safety precautions still in place. My five star recommendation is as firm as ever. Amy took wonderful care of my teeth on 10/04/2023! Everyone in this office is so attentive & caring.They want to help patients leaving the area find new dental attention when they move!

Dr. Joy and his staff are fantastic! Great work, no pain, amazing photos in the office, and even book recommendations! Thanks, guys!

I am a Professor of Physics and a patient of Dr. Christopher Joy. I managed to break one of my front teeth in December 2002. When Dr. Joy looked at it, it was clear that we have a problem of a very unusual kind, because not much remained of the tooth. It took several months of his work in parallel with his daughter Adrienne from Joy Orthodontics, and now I can finally smile again. I am very impressed by the quality of their work. Chris is a charming and highly intelligent person, with a passion to photography, which I share, and I think that he takes personal pride in the way my teeth look now after these procedures. I am very happy to recommend Chris and Adrianne, they make a great team! After being a client of Dr. Joy for 2 years, I would like to reconfirm that I remain happy with what he does. Recently he repaired my wisdom tooth and placed a crown on the tooth nearby, all in a 3-hour-long procedure. In addition to usual dentist tools, he used computer scanning, 3D modeling software, and 3D printing. And he managed to do it all while telling me (a physicist) some things that I did not know about recent news in physics. It is hard not to be impressed by his work. his knowledge, and his friendly attitude.

excellent

I've been going to Dr. Joy for for 40 (!) years. I think that says it all.

TOP TOP NOTCH DR JOY. From the moment you walk into the office you know this is the best dental office in the USA. Dr Joy's staff are professional the hygienists are top notch and do such a good job. Ive been going to Dr Joy for years and he takes excellent care of my teeth - it's evident he cares about his work. even though its not my favorite place to be he makes it as painless as possible! Give him a try you will be glad you did

My experience after crown prep and two fillings: fine as usual. You are a fine dentist. Yesterday afternoon I had a bunch of pain, both in lower and upper jaw (took two Tylenols). By evening it dispersed, and today I am pain free. Thank you.

Wonderful, professional, knowledgeable & prompt! Everything one could want in a dentist. I’ve absolute confidence that my dental health is in the best of hands.

Never have I had a wonderful experience at a dental office, but Dr. Joy is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and gave me confidence about the dental work that I need done. He allayed my fears and explained options clearly so that I can make an informed decision. He was thoughtful and reassuring in addition to being highly competent. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I absolutely love Dr. Joy and his staff. I’ve received so much excellent care from them over the past 40 years. He’s literally rebuilt my entire mouth almost. He’s the best there is in dental care.

Amy was kind and thorough as always. Thank you

Such a friendly and caring environment, for decades!

my last meeting on September 24th went very well. We all came to the decision to use a conservative method due to prior health situations. Dr Joy is great!!!

Always get high quality and pain-free care! Jo

Squeezed me in with an emergency appointment early Monday morning after a crown broke over the weekend. Dr. Joy took care of everything, and was very kind, reassuring and professional throughout the entire visit. His staff is also very kind and caring and I always look forward to their warm greetings whenever I come into the office. An absolutely superb dental office!

My first visit with Dr. Joy was very pleasant and thorough. We set up a plan to get the most needed work done before I leave for the winter.

Perfect as always. Lizzy did a great job, is professional, kind and my teeth feel great.

talented dentist, fabulous team!

Nice place if you need help with dental problems!!! Great teeth cleaning today!!

I love everyone in this office. The hygenists are friendly and gental. Dr. Joy is the best dentist and his assistants are friendly and do a great job.

Outstanding!

I have been coming here for about 40 years, so far so good.

Excellent care! The best ever!

Extremely gentle with expeditious cleaning. This office has the friendliest staff!

Very comfortable visit. I always enjoy my visit with Dr Joy because he always pays me a compliment about my teeth.

first class service and care from the Joy office....

Dr. Christopher H. Joy did outstanding dental work for me each time I was in his office. His office personnel is great as well. I am happy to be his client.

Great to have a dentist who remembers our individual dental histories!

Lizzie is great. Outstanding technician and fun to talk with.

Everything fine, on schedule. Jim schmidt

Outstanding, excellent care, and service!

Always a pleasant experience!

The staff is accommodating, informative and friendly. They make dental work much easier.

cleaning less than best this time

At short notice Dr. Joy identified the hidden cause of a significant tooth problem and immediately planned how to deal with it. Exceptional dentistry and such a great team behind. Thanks !

Lizzy, my dental hygienist is amazing. And Dr Joy, is attentive as always. This is a great team.

Great as usual - the perfect dental practice in all ways

Not just a teeth cleaning, learned a lot too.

Best dentist I have seen.

The hygienist was excellent. Very thorough and patient.

Excellent as always. Makes visits to the dentist as pleasant as possible with excellent results.

Had my teeth cleaned by Lizzy. She was very professional, thorough, informative and had a great bedside manner.

Excellent dentist, first-rate staff & welcoming environment. Undoubtedly, among the best in Palo Alto. Client for 25 years.

A very caring and professional organization.

Per usual, the service and level of expertise is outstanding! This includes the staff in addition to Dr. Joy.

Dr. Joy and his team were extraordinary, from getting to know me with friendliness, providing me with an in-depth assessment and creating a good treatment plan, I was extremely pleased! Top notch dental care. His staff even called the endodontist to get me seen as soon as possible - this was really helpful.

Fast efficient caring professional expert care. It doesn’t get any better

Always friendly, timely, and professional.

The entire staff is always so pleasant!! They take me in right on time and it is always a good experience!! Dr. Joy is an excellent dentist!! It is always a pleasure having Amy clean my teeth as she is a real professional and her warmth and caring attitude always make my visits a pleasure!!

Great, professionalism and great work

Attentive as always. quick and efficient service, extremely sensitive Covid protocols, the best!

I would highly recommend Dr. Joy practice to anyone in need of dental services. Friendly and very knowledgeable. Thank you Dr. Joy and team for a great experience!

I always feel that my concerns are being addressed. Great service.

An excellent dental practice all the way around!

Dr. Joy and his staff are provide the most thorough and attentive dental care I have ever experienced. Dr. Joy strikes me as a real genius who, fortunately for his patients, has put that intellect to work in dentistry. He has the most modern equipment and is able to walk you through each element of your dental health and what care may be needed. The office is absolutely immaculate and the staff is utterly professional and friendly - from Danielle at the desk, to Holly who assists Dr. Joy -awesome! Many thanks to all for making my experience so pleasant and informative.

Amy’s just the best!

Chris is a joy (ha ha); to have as a dentist.

Dr. Chris has been my dentist since the late '90s. He is a highly skilled and exacting practitioner with an artist's aesthetic. As well, Chris tirelessly keeps up on the latest techniques and technologies. He is quite simply the best. And, he has a wonderful staff!

As I've experienced for many years now, Dr. Joy and his staff are the best of the best. Thanks so much.

Staff followed all of the Covid precautions. Staff was friendly and showed interest in health and well-being of the patient.

A completely thourough and painless cleaning

Great group! Chris and his crew do a remarkable job. The level of care and service is fantastic. Chris is part artist, part scientist, part engineer. What he does is masterful, and combined with his talented and diverse support staff, you feel very well taken care of. Can't say enough good things. Every time I visit, I'm amazed. What Chris has has done to transform my smile deserves an award, which is probably why the office is filled with displayed awards (and clients with happy smiles). He is the man and his crew supports him with fantastic care and dedication!

No pain.. great result.. he saved my tooth!!!

Dr. Joy and his staff are number one in my books and my husband's. Always on top of things, friendly, reliable, professional, and knowlegdable. Been going to him for years and wouldn't switch for anything.

As always very professional and pleasant

An appointment for teeth cleaning. What could go wrong? Nothing at all! It was a great experience.

Dr. Joy and his staff do a fantastic job, my hygienist Lizzie was particularly good.

Busy, well organized office with friendly and skilled staff.

Dr. Joy was thorough and added great recommendations for further dental care. The office is very clean; office staff extremely helpful and pleasant.

Expert thorough care, Competent help, very secure workplace. I'll contine to be a paptient.

Excellent!

Dr. Joy went out of his way to take care of me in somewhat of an emergency. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. Barbara Dr. Joy was very good at explaining everything he was doing for me. He was concerned about avoiding any pain. The whole experience was excellent and I felt very well cared for. Bryn

Great experience! I had a cleaning with Amy and she was excellent! I would recommend this office to my friends and family.

I have been a patient of Dr. Joy's for almost 30 years now. His response to the Covid pandemic has been excellent. He and his staff have implemented an incredible array of safety precautions. While always extremely satisfied with the quality of the dental care delivered, I now also feel very comfortable and safe continuing my visits to his office during this current public health crisis.

Dr. Joy is the best dentist ever! He's so talented, empathetic, fun to talk to and is very reassuring. I actually look forward to my dental visits! He and his staff work as a seamless team. Switch to Joy if you haven't yet! You will be happy that you did!

Dr Joy gave the most detailed examination I’ve ever had! He was very patient & answered all of my questions. I got a root canal that was virtually painless. The cleaning I received was also very thorough. I don’t like the fact that the individual rooms have no doors. I would think that doors are an advantage during a pandemic, keeping the different patients separated while they have their masks off. I understand that there are air filters and fans in the rooms.

I love Dr Joy! I have been going to him for 20 years and I have never had anything but the best care! 5 stars!

Dr. Joy has been taking excellent care of my teeth for many years. Recently I had an accident and chipped one of my front teeth. He was able to repair it and you would never know it had been chipped! A miracle! I am so thankful!

Dr. Joy and his staff are safety conscious, kind, and considerate. For several years, my experience has been of unparalleled quality care, from cleaning, to checkups, and to the odd dental procedure. Even the most challenging of my dental troubles, now long past, were solved painlessly and with good humor. Many years in the business, and the best in my experience!

Fantastic

Like always the best experience I could have at the dentist.

Outstanding attention to patient care at every level of the team. Had an event over the weekend that disrupted previous veneer restoration. The after hour call back was incredibly supportive and setting up an appointment for Monday morning with Dr. Joy was able to quickly recovering aesthetic appearance and longer term corrective plan.

This was my first visit to Dr. Joy’s practice. Everyone was professional and courteous; the experience was a delight. I look forward to continuing this relationship!

Great experience as always! Thanks for squeezing me in.

I was having significant pain in the area of my lower left molars, and a friend of mine suggested that I contact Dr. Joy. I did, and just in time. Dr. Joy and his staff, a great team, arranged for an immediate appointment. He identified the problem, carefully explained what was happening, and took immediate steps to fix it. The entire team was efficient and friendly. I have confidence in them to solve my dental problems.

Very well run with excellent staff who have all been there for many years. Excellent dental care.

Dr. Joy’s office is exceptionally clean, spacious, designed and equipped to keep patients safe. The staff works as a team to combine their expertise for an efficient yet personal experience. Every detail of our oral health was evaluated and services carefully considered by cost and effectiveness. We were surprised by the amount of time given to our care. Following our initial consultation my wife and I were able to make cleaning appointments within two weeks. Our cleaning visits were unusually comfortable and thorough. It takes high standards, experience and a lot of heart to make a dental business this good.

Dr Joy and his team of dental pro's are awesome! Not only talented, but also empathetic, ensuring the patient is as comfortable as possible during every procedure. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Joy.

Amy is an amazing hygienist and Dr. Joy is the best.

Excellent dental care!

Dr. Joy is an outstanding dentist with a highly trained and professional staff. State of the art techniques while ensuring no pain to the patient! The BEST!

We have been going to Dr.Joy for years. He expertise and professionalism are top notch. He explains everything and shows me photos and xrays of my teeth I understand. The front office is excellent and Lizzie the hygienist is the best.

Dr. Joy and his staff are skilled and give excellent care. He invests thoughtfully on equipment, particularly during COVID, to make sure his patients feel safe and comfortable.

Everyone in the office was so friendly and accommodating

Awesome experience. Friendly and patient staff and expert dentist!

Given the length of time since my last visit, I was not looking forward to my appointment. The staff could not have been more welcoming or "forgiving of my lapse". Amy worked on my teeth - and even spent extra time to make sure the cleaning was thorough! She is just excellent and pleasant, and I am actually looking forward to my next appointment. Thank you!

Dr Joy and staff are amazing. Their process prevent the spread of Covid 19 is way beyond thoughtful. Their service and bedside manners removes the negative stigma that I associated with the dentist most of my life. Thanks for the professionalism and great work! Martin

I have been a patient of Christopher Joy's since 1984, wouldn't change.

As always Amy, the hygienist, was superb in a professional, clean, COVD-safe and friendly environment under Dr. Joy's leadership.

Always great experience. Friendly and wonderful dental team. Clean as well.

Excellent work while maintaining comfort for the patient!

I appreciate the courtesy, compassion and skill of Dr. Joy and his staff in addressing my dental emergency.

Dr. Joy and his staff took excellent care of my daughter. From Start to Finish this was an exceptional experience for our first finish. Extremely clear and concise communication from Liz at the front desk & amazing care taken by Lizzie and Dr. Joy while doing the exam and cleaning. We couldn't be happier! Thank you Dr. Joy and team! Maya is already asking about her next visit.

Excellent. Could hardly be better!!

The entire Dr. Joy staff is fabulous. If you have sensitive teeth like I have would highly recommend Amy. Liz always has a smile is on her face and so helpful. All my family loves Dr. Joy. He is the best.

Excellent care as usual. Seems like a very good workplace. Nice to see someone who enjoys what they do and is so good at it (Dr. Joy).

Saw me on an emergency basis, and took me in immediately as though I'd been a patient under his care for years. Exceptional!

Incredible office staff and as always Dr. Joy is amazing

Dr. Chris Joy has been my dentist for 40 years. His talent is exemplary. Chris is a dedicated, compassionate professional, that I have trusted with my dental needs for decades. There is no other dentist I would ever consider seeing because Dr. Joy is the best!

My experience was, and always is, terrific at Dr. Joy's. My dental hygienist, Lizzie, was thorough and capable but gentle, and she educated me on a few teeth and gum related facts that I'm glad to be aware of now. Dr. Joy and his staff are awesome.

Always a delight to see Dr. Joy and his staff. Clean office, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and time to listen to my concerns.

Lizzie is the best hygienist on the planet. Highly skilled, and highly dedicated. The same is true of Dr. Christopher Joy. In addition to their consummate professional skills, both have tremendous people skills. I recommend these outstanding professionals. I have been going to them for many years and would not consider seeing anyone else.

Dr. Joy and his staff are very professional and accommodating as well as very thorough. I have been very pleased with the services provided and highly recommend this office.

Called one day with a broken crown. Appointment next day 8am. Can't ask for better care than that!

Exquisite attention to COVID prevention. Extremely professional. As a physician, I can appreciate the enormous effort and expense that has gone into making the office safe for both patients and employees. Having just had a new crown done in 2 1/2 hours instead of the usual 2 1/2 weeks, I will attest to the technological wonders of Dr. Joy’s state of the art office. Did I mention that it was virtually painless?

Dr Joy has been my dentist since 2000. To be clear. For the last 22 years. I turn to him with a toothache. And he has placed all the crowns on my implants. He works with a skilled team and the results are as good as having my own teeth. Although blessed with quite healthy teeth. I have my husband see dr Joy. Dr joy will do the least intrusive repairs or modifications — but they always are the perfect decisions. Highly recommend being in his care!

Highly professional and friendly dentistry! Dr. Joy and his team are superb.

This was my first time visiting this dental office. Everyone was so friendly. The doctor was pleasant and I felt zero pain during my procedure.

Dr. Joy is very attentive, energetic and friendly.

This was my first time visiting this dental office. Everyone was so friendly. The doctor was pleasant and I felt zero pain during my procedure.

Hygienist Amy is beyond compare. We also really appreciate the safety measures they have put in place to combat the spread of Covid. Very comforting, and overall a very smooth and professional experience.

I've been going to Doctor Joy's office for 20+ years. The absolute best in care, ambience, service, people and stimulating conversation with Dr. Joy himself. Does it cost me a little extra, yes, but its worth it. I've never enjoyed going to the dentist as much as I have since utilizing the office of Dr. Joy.

Dr Joy is very knowledgeable, precise and caring. He has a professional and friendly staff too. You’ll be in good hands!

Great experience as always! Thanks for squeezing me in.

Tien was great. Did a fabulous job - very professional. Office is VERY well equipped for COVID prevention

Best dentist in bay area! every single employee give you the best treatment in this office I love

Outstanding--knowledgeable, professional, and very impressive Covid precautions!

Dr. Joy does great work. His "one visit crowns" are the way to go if you need a high quality crown fast.

I’m a new patient and I came in with a lot of anxiety. After meeting with Dr. Joy, I felt very confident that I had chosen a great dentist. He’s got decades of experience and he’s very professional. He’s got a good sense of humor, which really helped me to feel more comfortable and relaxed. I appreciate how much time he spent reviewing my case and giving me constructive alternatives. I’m so pleased that he’s my new dentist.

I’m so pleased that he’s my new dentist.

Lost a crown and called the office - Liz said come right in. Was all fixed up and on my way in less than an hour! They're always terrific, just another example.

Literally the best dental office I've ever used. I really appreciate Dr. Joy and everyone else in his office. Thanks for all that you do.

Fabulous experience, the best in every category of care and repair!! Thanks!

Very friendly & caring professionals in a Covid-safe environment.

Outstanding! I am grateful to have such exceptional talent and caring in our midst. And so clean and friendly!

PS also check out Dr Joy’s inspiring photography - you will feel as though you have traveled to some of the most beautiful places in the world - and/ or you may be compelled to go!

En’joy Dr Joy and his outstanding Team!! This review written with my heartfelt thanks!

Excellent care from hygienist and Dr. Joy

Dr. Joy and his staff are safety conscious, kind, and considerate. For several years, my experience has been of unparalleled quality care, from cleaning, to checkups, and to the odd dental procedure. Even the most challenging of my dental troubles, now long past, were solved painlessly and with good humor. Forty years in the business, and the best in my experience!

Dr. Joy and his team are amazing. You will receive the highest quality in dental care in a relaxing and professional environment. Administration of your patient activity is made seamless through the use of integrated technology and mobile access. So grateful our family found this practice!!

Dr. Christopher Joy has been my (and our family) dentist for 10 years +. He and his team have done a wonderful job for us. They are always adopting the latest dental technology which is great to see.

Excellent safety. Listens!!! Problem solver. Best ever

Have been a patient of Chris since 1984, my husband & sister have become his patient's as well. Excellent dental care and wonderful staff. Adapted to deliver safe care for staff and patients during this Covid-19 pandemic.

Been seeing Chris and his hygienist staff for many years. He’d the professional dentist you want if your expectations are high.

Lizzie is great. Outstanding technician and fun to talk with.

Courteous, efficient service. Doctor Joy kept me informed through the long procedure. Although the entire process will take at least one more visit, the progress so far is excellent. I very much enjoy doctor Joy and his staff.

Great experience - thanks for the second opinion; I really trust Dr Joy. Professional, friendly and safe. Dr Joy and the staff are going above and beyond in terms of making patients feel safe and well taken care of.

Hands down the best staff and best Dentist that I've had the pleasure (did I say pleasure about going to the Dentist) of taking care of my teeth in my 68 years.

Excellent Dental office. Clean, professional, friendly and most importantly - very competent.

Dr. Christopher Joy is a superb dentist. The scale of his practice affords the most advanced technology and an amazingly skilled and harmonious team of colleagues. He’s a very gifted photographer in both visible and invisible spectra, a joyful conversationalist, and a kind and compassionate man whose skills and attention to detail have been such a boon to my dental health for decades that I keep traveling back to his Palo Alto office even as I migrate further north.

We have been going to DrJoy for years. He expertise and professionalism are top notch. He explains everything and shows you with photos so you understand. Everyone from Liz who manages the front office, and the hygienists, and technical genius Cami, make it a great place. We travel 15 miles for their services! Besides that they are all friendly and warm.

My wife & I have been patients of Dr. Joy for many years. He is a highly skilled dentist, who genuinely cares about his patients. He has a first-class, friendly team of assistants, hygienists & front-desk staff. I’ve been particularly impressed with Dr. Joy’s investment in Covid risk-mitigation equipment & practice protocols, alleviating any transmission concerns during an appointment.

A short notice appt at the time of day that fit my schedule, quick and efficient service, extremely sensitive Covid protocols, the best!

I was fortunate to have 'The Dream Team' (Dr. Joy & Camy) put a carefully crafted crown on my #31 broken molar. Two hours, same day appt. Done. I felt like royalty! Actually looking forward to the next two crownings that I need next month. Thank you!

I received my first ever in house created crown yesterday morning. Dr Joy made the experience as enjoyable as possible.

Top shelf environment and care in all regards, including Covid procedures and cleanliness.

The entire staff is always so pleasant!! They take me in right on time and it is always a good experience!! Dr. Joy is an excellent dentist!!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Joy’s for many years and have always received excellent, caring, state-of-the-art treatment. And his Covid protocols and procedures are superb...extra, commercial-grade air filters in each treatment area and the addition of plexiglass at checkout as well as in the treatment areas where necessary are 2 changes that made me feel very comfortable going there recently. Highly recommend him and all his staff.

I had a chip tooth he made sure it was good and keeping in my records for now
