We couldn’t be happier with Dr. Austin and his staff! They are professional, thorough, and friendly. Our family of 6 has been seeing Dr. Austin for a year and half, and are happy to say that we have found a dentist for life!

After been seen today I now truly understand why they have 5 stars and not surprises I called in with an emergency. I am on vacation and having pain and need to be seen same day. The ladies in the office were extremely helpful and so sweet. They even went above and beyond to help me with my sons just so I could be seen. I will be forever grateful for there kindness. This is what an office should be like, virtually no wait time and efficient. Dr. Austin was very professional and helpful. Again top notch staff and doctor!

Very hopeful about my treatment after talking with Doctor Austin. Seems very knowledgeable and helpful to patient’s specific needs. I like how he looks at the bigger picture in diagnosing and long term outcomes of treatment. Talks about matters very frankly. Really friendly staff and affordable dentistry. Weird location on the second floor but nice interior.

I recently visited another dentist about a week ago for some cosmetic work! I left unsatisfied with his work and my gums were very irritated due to the fillings hitting my gums! I then consulted with Dr. Austin and he squeezed me in as soon as possible. He did an amazing job in fixing my teeth. I feel he was very knowledgable and just by him taking the time to make a mold of my teeth to study them I knew I would be pleased. The first dentist was so rushed and did not take his time to do what Dr. Austin did for me. I will definitely be sending family and friends to him from now on! I wish I would have gone to him first ! Thank You Dr. Austin!

I like how there were prompt reminders about my appointments since I have horrible memory lol that helps a lot. All the staff is super friendly and Dr. Austin is extremely knowledgeable and is honest. I felt very comfortable and all my questions were answered. It is hard to find good doctors but Dr. Austin is truly the best at what he does. I’m so glad I was able to find a nice and trustworthy dentist!

I was sad to leave my dentist is Kansas and was worried I would not find someone as awesome… but I did. Loved the office and the hygienist. It was difficult to find at first but I found it. And they are dog lovers.

As a new patient, both the office staff, dental hygienist Natalie and Dr. Austin were very professional. I loved the fact that they sat down with you and got to know you better before getting down to business. I enjoyed my experience here and look forward to my next visit.

Had my initial appointment today! Dr. Austin, Colleen, and front desk staff were absolutely AMAZING! A++++ on customer service.
Staff checked me and answered all my questions about insurance. My insurance is going to change next month so I’m hoping that I can still come in as an in-​network person. We’ll have to see at the beginning of July.
Then I was with Colleen for a majority of my appointment. She did thorough x-​rays on all angles of my mouth and an amazing cleaning. She was so detail-​oriented and I loved it!
Dr. Austin came in at the end of the appointment and was very professional. He explained everything was great except that I had an old filling that could eventually needed to be redone, but gave me an option to have it done anytime since it was not urgent.
I sure hope I can come back here again with my new insurance next month!

Even though this is just a dentist office, I felt so welcome and taken care of there. They really take the time to talk to you and make you feel welcome. It took maybe a couple of minutes for me to get into a room and get started. It was so quick and efficient. I am actually going to like going to the dentist now. The are all so polite, they are all so helpful and patient. I hadn’t been to the dentist in a while and they took me in as if I had been a patient of theirs for a while. Gave me steps to take next and steps for taking out my wisdom teeth. They made it so easy to keep track of all the things I needed to get done. They send text message reminders of your appointments which is so helpful for me. Dr. Austin is doing a very great job there with all of his staff and the facility.

Needed a new dentist since I just moved to the area. Stumbled upon Dr. Austin’s office and I am happy that I did. The staff were warm and welcoming, and my hygienist, Natalie did a great job. Usually at a dentist, it feels as though cleanings are rushed and the staff tries to get you to do a ton of unnecessary procedures. I didn’t get that vibe at this office, though, and Natalie did a thorough cleaning. Dr. Austin was very nice, not pushy, and made me feel as though I weren’t just another client. Can’t wait for my next appointment, and I hate dentists.

Great staff and dr austin is pretty nice too. The hygienists are amazing. I hadn’t been to the dentist in a few years and had to have a little work done. No judgement, instead just a plan for fixing what needed fixing. Thanks for everything! Also gave me a good referral for the root canal I needed.

I needed a check-​up before my insurance lapsed due to a change in jobs (don’t judge!) so I Googled «San Antonio dentists» and Dr. Austin came up. Besides all the awesome reviews, one Unilocaler said he was «not bad to look at» while getting a check-​up, so I figured the Hottie Dentist was a solid choice.
My appointment was in the morning, and Lorene, the office manager, wasn’t phased about the time. She and Yaminee (who was also at the front desk) were super sweet and we chatted before my appointment started.
My assigned hygienist was Anjelica. Relatively new, I think Anjelica was an amazing representation of Dr. Austin’s practice nonetheless. She was fun, gentle, and knowledgeable, plus she made the entire tooth cleaning experience enjoyable (errr, about as enjoyable as someone scraping plaque and tartar off your teeth can be).
After the cleaning, Dr. Austin entered and talked about my treatment options. I mentioned feeling aches in my back teeth from what I thought was nighttime clenching (side note: apparently your teeth are only supposed to touch during chewing and swallowing?!), and he mentioned I may have a slight sleep disorder that’s common in teeth clenchers (in «young fit females,» which I’m going to add to my resume). He also knew I’m a scientist, so he talked to me like someone who likes primary sources and research instead of someone who had never heard of Googling (which I appreciate more than I can express via Unilocal). Shoutout to Colleen, who also briefly spent time with me when Anjelica had another patient and was extremely kind.
I highly recommend Dr. Austin and the entire practice – it was, hands down, the best experience I’ve had at a dental office.

Got 3 old fillings replaced, and Dr. Austin did a great job (as usual). I would highly recommend this dentist to any of my family and friends! The whole staff is fabulous!!!
My last review I gave 4⁄5 stars bc of the admin staff. Now, there are new faces up front, and both ladies are happy, helpful, and do a great job.
5 stars!

The best dentistry experience I’ve ever had! The entire staff is extremely friendly. I was first met by Justin who sat next to me and spent a few minutes getting to know me, we even talked baseball and my recent engagement. When he finished I met the hygienist Colleen. She also was very friendly and made me feel extremely comfortable. Their genuine interest in my life and well being made this experience enjoyable. Justin and Colleens professionalism were top notch. I have never seen such a thorough examination at any doctor visit.
If you are ever unsure or not very comfortable with dentists or even looking for a new one, I would highly recommend a visit to these fantastic professionals.

Always a great experience. I’m one of those people who really don’t like going to the dentist, but Dr. Austin has clearly gone out of his way to both create a comfortable and calming environment and assemble an excellent office staff.
Yaminee is so ebullient and friendly that she must be able to put the most apprehensive patient right at ease. This, combined with Dr. Austin’s friendly nature and unsurpassed skill, make going to the dentist as pleasant an experience as it could possibly be.

Staff was very professional and accomodating from the receptionist, to the hygenist, to Dr. Austin himself.
My only feedback was when I was referred to see a sleep specialist to determine if I had sleep apnea, which revealed no signs of teeth grinding (during the study). I used to have a problem with teeth grinding and appreciate that he thought of the worst/​riskier possible scenario, though the sleep study costed approximately 1k from my health savings account when all I really wanted was a night guard… costing much less than opting for a sleep study (no fun, sticky nodes all over your body, sleeping uncomfortably, didn’t get to have a CD copy of results/​data — no fault to Dr. Austin for that).
If it weren’t for the high costs of the sleep study referral he gave, I would not hesitate to give him a 5 star for his excellence, quality of work, and professionalism.
****UPDATE: originally 3 stars, now upvoted to 5 stars. Definitely a 10 out of 5 star dentist.
Dr. Joshua Austin has provided a variety of benefits/​services free of charge throughout this time of knowing him. With the passage of time I’ve come to realize that his consideration and passion for his career is just the tip of the iceberg. He puts a lot of effort to keep his clients happy and truly cares about the well being of his patients. I have yet to encounter a dentist who was so thorough, understanding, and pathetic towards his patients.
Just tell him how you want the best smile and he will present ALL of your options for you.

Colleen is amazing. Thank you for such an enjoyable teeth cleaning experience and not judging me when I asked for orajel before my teeth were cleaned! I just have such sensitive little teeth.
I also really enjoyed that while Dr. Austin came in and checked out my mouth, he was honest in saying that I did not NEED any work, but could do x y or z. It was nice to to be forced into dental work that I did not need, and get lots of information on sleep problems that are bothering my teeth.
Also, I have Tricare Metlife, and even though Austin DDS isn’t on the «preferred» list, my bill for my checkup, cleaning and xrays was literally $ 3.00 — Which I will gladly pay for great service. I also enjoyed my free chapstick & using the Keurig on the way out.
