Dr. Julie Herndon grew up in Saratoga. After graduating from Saratoga High School (go Falcons!), she attended the University of Southern California and received a degree in Exercise Physiology.

Julie is the best Dentist! A friend referred me to her about 2 years ago, because I was having a bad experience with the dentist I had. They were trying to tell me I had to get fillings changed out that wasn't necessary. Went to Julie and figured out that there are just a lot of dentist that try and sell you things that aren't needed.
We understand that your first visit to the dentist can feel overwhelming and we try to accommodate all new patients with a comfortable and organized facility. Our staff has taken the steps to prepare you for the first appointment by providing a full spectrum of the services we offer. Our goal is to cover everything you need with a full and efficient assessment, but without waiting to see the doctor.
We accept most insurances that are regular policies or a PPO ( Preferred Provider Organization)-the insurance covers a higher percentage of the treatment costs if the Dr is on their list, but your are allowed to see anyone even if they are not on the provider list, the insurance just reimburses at a lower rate.
We know and understand the importance of good preventative care. Part of this includes brushing and flossing your teeth properly. Good dental preventative care is really important to ensure a healthy mouth, including your gums and teeth. It is important to brush your teeth at least twice daily to help remove plaque and food particles that get stuck to your teeth.
