Scott M Hashimoto, DDS

Two years in the row, Dr. Scott alerted us about the white patches on my son’s tongue. First year, ENT doctor took a look, was not concerned, didn’t do further testing. The second year, Teri, the hygienist found the white patches again & consulted Dr. Scott. Even the light test didn’t indicate tongue cancer, Dr Scott advised us to see ENT again. This time a biopsy was done, and a rare type of cancer was diagnosed for my son. Luckily it was detected early, after 4 surgeries and a bone marrow biopsy, my son is now ok.
Almost all dentists I’ve ever had only focus on «teeth», we’re fortunate that Dr. Scott always do what he calls «Head to Neck Check», and watch for any abnormal tissues and lumps in and out the mouth. It only takes him couple minutes to do it, but it has saved my son.
It’s also nice of Dt. Scott to accept MediCal patients and individuals with special needs, who usually require more patience handling. Both Dr. Scott & Teri are great with my son. Really appreciate!

He is the best! Dr. Scott Hashimoto is funny & friendly. I get to meet him every six month. He is funny, smart & very thorough, perhaps too cautiously thorough… I like him very much. He has been well taken care of my teeth + gums & my children’s as well for last few years. He is GREAT! I highly recommend to everyone.

I visited Dr. Scott Hashimoto in the last summer. It was an Ok experience. Throughout the two sittings I had with him, he kept praising his alma mater and telling me how my previous doctor from India didn’t do a good job. Also, the cap which was fit by him fell off in two days, and to put it back he charged me something (don’t remember exact amount). This happened in the summer of 2014.
Now, today I called his office to get a copy of my full mouth x-​ray, but his office told me that they cannot email the copy to me as they don’t have access to digital services (???). To get a copy of MY x-​ray, I will need to pay them $ 25 and it will take 24 hours for them to get it ready.

Family practice. I had Dr. Scott Hashimoto. Very outgoing guy who is very competent in his practice. He thoroughly explained procedures, what he was seeing, preventative methods, and fully answered all my questions. Kind of felt like I got my teeth cleaned while going through dental school 101 basics haha. It’s nice that he takes the time to inform and educate his patients so that we can become more proactive in self care of our teeth!
This dental cleaning experience was really quite unique compared to every other dentist I’ve been to.
Friendly staff and warm environment. Not the typical cold scary dentist atmosphere I grew up around as a kid haha

I can not say enough great things about Dr Hashimoto and his office. It was by chance that I found this family dentistry because of needing my annual military dentist exam.
The exam was thorough and he offered great advice to keep my mouth healthy. He is never pushy or upselling you on anything either. You can tell he genuinely cares about you and your overall health.
He has my highest recommendation if you’re in the market for another dentist.

I’m really happy with this dentist. Scott was very thorough in his examination and explained what he was looking for to me in detail. Terri, the hygienist, was also very thorough and has personally tested and reviewed any dental product you can think of. The front office staff is responsive to requests for records and they accept many insurers. This is a quality practice.

Dr. Scott Hashimoto is wonderful! I recently changed my dental insurance and was very sorry to learn that his practice currently does not accept DHMO. He and his staff have always been polite, professional, and very competent, but what makes Dr. Hashimoto’s practice exceptional is the level of care he gives his patient!
Dr. Hashimoto not only gave me the standard check up and cleaning, but he explained to me the latest in dental hygiene WITHOUT trying to upsell me on any services. More importantly, he checked the lymph nodes on my neck and found that one of them was inflamed and suggested I ask my primary physician about it… what comprehensive service! (My primary doctor was actually concerned and I received a biopsy but thankfully nothing serious – and it was Dr. Hashimoto who discovered it.)
Besides being a good dentist, Dr. Hashimoto is just an all-​around cool guy! He’s actually pleasant company to have in a dental office – a place where people are often already a bit uncomfortable to begin with.
I’ve been to other dentist and this is by far the best experience I’ve ever had!

A pretty good dental office. Everything went smooth during my first check up, and Dr. Hashimoto was nice.
I don’t know why but I was a little unimpressed. I blatantly told them I needed an x-​ray since I haven’t been to the dentist in 2 years, and they told me I wouldn’t need to take it… And I believed them until they called me to take x-​rays again?! I really wish they would have just listened to me –_​-​.
And then one of the assistants took FOREVER to take my x-​rays. What should have been a 20 minute appointment turned out to be a 45 minute sit-​down.
Overall, the checkup was fine. There were these minor perks that really kind of annoyed me. Staff was nice, especially te receptionist!

My kids and I have been patients of Dr. Scott Hashimoto for the past 10 years.
He and his staff are excellent with cleaning, exams, x-​rays as well as helping children understand why it’s so important to take care of their teeth and gums!
The office is clean and the administrative staff is friendly and flexible.
I appreciate the fact that this is a family owned and operated business.
If you have any questions on dental care, he and his staff provide easy to understand information without the BS other dentists might offer to get you to spend money you don’t have. The rates are reasonable and you won’t pay for anything you don’t need!
His sister, Terri, the hygienist, is excellent as well and makes teeth cleaning a breeze!

The Hashimotos have been my family of 6’s dentist and hygienists for basically all of my 27 years of life, and for very good reason.
They have always been friendly and professional from the front desk to the dentists, to concerned follow-​up calls, and even availability for fielding off-​hour emergency calls. A regular visit with Dr. Scott for me would usually involve some type of interesting chatter, very calculated and quality work, clear explanations and answering of any questions (which I really enjoy), and general good judgment like when he had to work on my uniquely cracked tooth and crown procedure. Trust me, the dentist office is far from the top of my list of favorite places to be in, but maybe like a chaser in a very harsh drink, they have grown on me to make the experience manageable (I don’t think anyone actually enjoys going to the dentist, or at least getting work done).
The skinny: The Hashimoto practice in my mind is somewhere I comfortably fall back on, confident that the care of my mouth is in good hands.

I was sent to Scott Hashimoto DDS by the Army to have some dental work done. I was scared because I had heard horror stories about some of my friends getting very messed up by civilian contracted dentists.
SCOTT HASHIMOTO WAS AWESOME!!!
He was very friendly, informative, professional, thorough, efficient and so was everyone at the office. He did not do anything that wasn’t necessary (as the military DR had recommended some cavities filled that were not there) and he also had no problem giving me an extra shot to numb my mouth as the first two weren’t enough. I have had dentists refuse or complain about that sort of thing in the past but he did not! He also took the time to explain the x-​rays to me so I could see for myself what was going on in my mouth.
I hate having dental work done but I must say this was probably the most pleasant dental experience I have ever had.
Thank you Scott Hashimoto and staff! :-D

When I moved to Fremont some years ago, I needed to find a local dentist. After talking to several, I tried Dr. Hashimoto’s office. It is a family run office and it works smoothly. Dr Scott always takes the time to explain procedures and things. Terri, the hygienist, has the same method.
The office has a low key atmosphere and a pleasure to visit, yes even for a dentist office:-)
I would recommend them.

Dr. Scott is the best dentist I have ever seen.
He is gentle, explains everything he is doing and why, his rates are fair and he wont sell you any services you dont need.
He is in business with his Dad, Dr. Walter, who I have also heard good things about. They both have a great sense of humor.
Terri, the hygenist and Dr. Walters daughter is also great as is the receptionist Theresa.
They all treat you like family and seem genuinely happy to see you.
