Really friendly, accommodating office team who is ready and willing to find appointment times that work with busy schedules! Appointments start right on time and hygienists are friendly, inquisitive, efficient and thorough and Dr. McCleve was very welcoming of new patients to his practice.

I went to Dr. Mc Cleve's for the first time regarding a problem I had with my filling. The staff were extremely friendly and easy to talk to! Dr. Mc Cleve and his assistant listened to my issues and easily fixed it plus another one he had identified in the checkup. He was thorough in detailing what needed to be done and did a great job! The whole process was efficient and as enjoyable as a dentist visit can be, and I will be making a return visit!

Dr. Mc Cleve and his staff were fantastic with the kids during their cleanings. My 2-year old and 5-year old went for a cleaning and they loved it! They talked about the experience the whole rest of the day. The dentist was very thorough, yet quick and made it fun, not scary. My kids were totally into brushing their teeth after the visit.

Beyond five stars! From paperless confirmation and easy assistance sending in all my information. The entire staff & Dr. McCleve made my first visit such a breeze. Everything was clean and organized- they broke down the entire visit in a way that it set any nerves at ease. Super informative, extremely helpful I appreciate their attentiveness so much!

Do not use DDS John McCleve. DDS McCleve is negligent and out of date with modern dental practices. I was recommended to him for general dentistry and I had a front tooth that required an implant. My oral surgeon told me to instruct McCleve that he used a Nobel implant. DDS McCleve did not follow any of the instruction and my implant failed in 5 days and I nearly swallowed my crown.

Do not use DDS John McCleve for crown work. There are many other good dentist out there.

I have always been afraid of going to the dentist due to some unnecessary and improper treatments in the past by other dentists. I put my trust in dr. McCleve and his staff and they took very good care of me while keeping in mind my fear of dentists. They were very kind, listened patiently to my dental woes, kept checking in on me during my first cleanup (after 4 years of avoiding going to the dentist it was in pretty bad shape) and restored my faith in them. I had teeth sensitivity on my lower incisor coupled with a receded gum (a previous procedure by another dentist left me with a healthy gum

We have been going to Dr. McCleve for six or seven years and can highly recommend him and his staff in every respect. Clean, friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, experienced, reasonably priced; in short, everything you want from your dentist, from the time you walk in the door and throughout the appointment until the time you leave.

Been a while since I have been back because of Covid.. Had a new hygienist this time. She was really nice, really efficient and did a very thorough job. What can I say. This office is top notch and I cannot recommend them enough. I still go to them even though I have moved further away. It's just worth it.

I have been a patient of John and his staff for several years. They are always professional and do a great job. I went in today and was impressed by all the actions they had taken in response to COVID and felt very safe being there even during this pandemic.

Front desk is great, always flexible on the appointments and understanding when conflicts pop up on my calendar and I have to reschedule.

I've been going here for years. It's a very friendly staff and they do a fantastic job for dentistry. They always explain any options for treatment with no pressure. They really care about the patient so I recommend this place to anyone.

Dr McCleve and his team are great! I started going here after I moved to Los Gatos and found them on yelp. The team here is easy to communicate with and helpful. I just called today to get a document as a previous patient and they sent it immediately.

Their team always went above and beyond, which I think shows they really like their jobs. Their dental hygienist recommended that I get an electric toothbrush (no dentist ever told me that) and was super helpful in showing me how to use it and being transparent overall about my tooth health. She made a huge difference and now I've improved

The staff at Dr. McCleves office treat everyone like family. Chris is super responsive and goes out of her way to make things very easy with appointments, getting us in last minute. Dr. McCleve is great. I trust his professional opinion and know I can count on him to take care of mine and my families teeth.

Thanks guys.

Dr. McCleve was recommended to me by a friend. He has a wonderful staff! I have only seen Dr. McCleve for exams, since I have not needed any dental treatments, but he is very nice. If I ever need treatment, I'll update this to reflect that. Janet is the hygienist I see, and she's awesome! Always gentle, thorough, and friendly. Chris at the front desk is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I'm so glad I found them!

I've been going to Dr. McCleve's office since I moved to California several years ago and had to look up new Dentists. I actually made my decision based on Yelp reviews and wanted to contribute my own. I'm so lucky to have found a warm, friendly, competent dentist and his staff. Also extremely helpful for me is the system they have in place for reminders!
