Cox & Miranda DDS

Dr. Cox is an absolutely great dentist! Always pushing me to not only fix current dental issues but want healthier teeth; always doing whatever he can to get me to come in and solve my dental problems. When I was having wisdom teeth complications after surgery, he called me all hours of the day to check in on me (even though he wasn’t the one who removed them.) Never have I seen a dentist so dedicated. I would absolutely recommend him. It breaks my heart to see any poor review. Dr. Cox has been my dentist since I was a little kid… dealing with braces. You know if you still like your dentist after that… it’s saying something. I have extremely sensitive teeth and TMJ, he has been nothing but gentle and comfortable. I wouldn’t let just anyone poke around them.
Thank you for everything!

Dr. Miranda has been my dentist for over 10 years. As a former dental hygienist I am very fussy about my dental care. Dr. Miranda is a very skilled dentist who is also pleasant to work with. I have a complicated dental situation and he has been very patient in dealing with me. I would recommend him without hesitation.

I’ve been going to Dr. Miranda for years and I can only say that I have had nothing but good service and a great smile to show for it! His staff is friendly and the facility clean and he himself always take the time to ask if I have any concerns regarding my teeth or necessary treatment.

Jim Cox has been my dentist for over 30 years. He’s excellent, and so are the hygienists in his office. He runs a very professional operation. Everyone who works there is pleasant to deal with. I give them 5 stars. (The Unilocal website didn’t let me give stars.)

Our entire family have been patients of both Dr. Cox and Dr. Miranda for over 15 years. They have always provided excellent service and if there was ever a problem, it was immediately resolved. Their expertise, coupled with good personal dental care and genes, have kept all of our teeth in great health! Couldn’t say enough about them. In addition, their back office and dental staff are absolutely the greatest, always making us feel comfortable. Their competence in providing pre, during and post assistance is exceptional.

Dr Miranda is great. I started going to him when I moved near my work in palo alto, and although I live in SF now, I continue to drive down to see him. Thanks to his expert work, a crown that had consistently fallen off when attached by other dentists (its a challenge as there is not much tooth to grab onto) he has managed to have stay on for almost a decade thus far. And recently I was having an oral health issue (outside of the world of dentistry) and he took the time to talk to me about the concerns and to recommend exactly which stomatologist (mouth doctor) I should see, as he knew them all. I really appreciated his concern and his expertise.

I met with Dr. Miranda who I think generally does good work. However his partner, Dr. Cox seems to not have the skill set you would expect from practicing as long as he has. I would avoid this office because if Miranda is not in, Dr. Cox will work on your teeth and you don’t want that.
You never really know what you are getting from a doctor or dentist unless you are one or consult with one after the fact. I had a simple cavity that needed to be drilled that Cox identified. I could tell during the procedure Cox had struggled a bit. I went on and thought nothing of it. 4 months later I am visiting with my friend in Dental School and I get a checkup. From the x-​ray my friend (a student at the time) asked me,“Who the heck fixed this cavity?” Apparently the work from Cox was so bad, he asked if he could show it to the other DDS. Each of them looked at it and said essentially, «It was one of the sloppiest filling they had ever seen. Especially because of the easy placement of the cavity.»

Dr. Miranda has been my dentist for the last 10 – 12 years. Dr. Miranda has always taken good care of my teeth and his staff is more than wonderful. Michelle is my go-​to for my regular cleanings. She does a really good job and it’s never uncomfortable. She remembers a lot about me and always asks about my parents (who are patients there as well) and it really makes me feel special.
I highly recommend their office. I’ve had a bit of cosmetic work done with Dr. Miranda too, and he did a really good job. He’s totally fair and I really appreciated the way he structured the pricing for me at the time so that I was able to upgrade my smile!

Great guy. Very warm and kind. He’s done my cosmetic work for years and is a true professional. The support staff is great as well. One of the cool aspects to visiting Dr. Miranda is the cool mid-​century building they’re located in. Apparently, there are plans to demolish it and replace it with a new, larger (probably ugly) modern building. But really, it’s all about the good service I’ve received and not the building.

I loved coming here for my dental needs (but I moved, so I found a new dentist). Seriously. The receptionists were always helpful and kind. The waiting area magazines weren’t so great, but you could watch CNN on TV while you wait.
I didn’t see Dr. Miranda that often but every time I did see him, he was charming and gentle. He helped me with my dental emergency and also redid my chipped tooth (and he did a fabulous job — the original dentist who fixed me up was so horrible that I avoided dentists for a few years).
I usually saw Michelle (miss you Michelle) for cleanings. She always cleaned my teeth thoroughly. Her old office had a nice view of trees and I felt at peace as she worked on my teeth. I try to imagine that I’m in a spa while my teeth are being cleaned.
The office has state of the art dental equipment. It’s clean and very conveniently located (by Stanford Shopping Center). Right before I left, they expanded.
