My experience is always positive. The staff is friendly and professional. The care is exceptional.
As always you guys are wonderful! I’ve been going here for 30 years and it’s always great seeing everyone and catching up. Thanks, Mike
Thank you so much for your professionalism. Dr. Fan and Sabrina always made me feel comfortable, and asking me if I was okay. Dr. Fan has a very calming voice and assures me that everything was going to be just fine. Thank you Cindy for getting me in so quickly for this appointment. Great professional Dental office! Thanks again! respectfully, Olga
The staff are kind and professional. They are always on time and make going to the dentist easy.
Great care, clear expectations and patient centered treatment. WIN all around.
Dr. David Shively was gentle, professional and competent. He made feel relaxed and gave simple explanations. He made prompt referral to specialist. His staff was very good. I'm grateful he agreed to be my ongong denist.
Dr Shively is great, the staff are professional and very helpful, and their hygienist is pretty cool too! 😎
I love this place!!! 2nd time there great service
Amazed from start to finish. Nice office. Dentist and all staff are friendly and competent.
Great Staff, my dental issue resolved today with ease. Their equipment is up to date and their facility is Beautiful. I don’t dread ever going to the dentist. Love Dr. Shively and all the staff.
Auburn Dental Center is the most state of the art dental center in town. You can have your crown fitted in one visit as it is custom made while you wait. Dr. Shively and his staff are very nice and always make you comfortable. From a check-up to a cleaning to a filling or a root canal, Dr. Shively and his staff can always meet your dental and hygiene needs with a smile. Dr. Shively is reassuring and very gentle.
Have been going here for years! Wouldn’t go to any other dental place. They always make you feel comfortable and get to know you.
Everyone is friendly, topnotch service. I've had several crowns done here, 3 hrs from start to finish and I left with my crown, no second appointment needed.
I have always liked Dr. Shively and his help. .They are always nice and really show a lot of care.
Excellent service. Pleasant office and staff!

Great staff and very in depth with the first time visit. I was really impressed and I recommend to anyone. Dentist was fantastic!
My family has been patients of Dr Shivley’s for over 10 years now, and we have always been treated like family. Our needs and treatments have always been wonderful. His staff is top notch! Thank you for everything that you have done for me and my family! Brian Henderson
Efficient--great concern for the patient. Would encourage anyone looking for a great dentist to try Dr. Shivley and Auburn Dental.
Same great service for the past 35 years. They never push unneeded dentistry and seem to be up on the latest practices. I would whole heartedly recommend this dentist office.

Just had a checkup at Auburn Dental Center. Always a pleasure with Cindy, Lynette, Sue and Dr. Shively. I've been a patient here for somewhere around 30 years, need I say more? Can't imagine going anywhere else!!
I have been a patient here for something like 35 years. Love this place and the staff. I enjoy going to the dentist because of this team.
Needed to find another dentist around the area, decided to give this place a try. Was able to schedule an appointment fairly quick. Got scheduled under Dr. Pham. Day of the appt: Checked in the front desk and after 10 mins, the dental assistant came out to greet me, prepped me up for xrays etc. Then Dr. Pham came in the room very energetic and went over my xrays with me and consulted me on what work needs to be done. Luckily it was very minor work since the last dentist told me I have 10 cavities, I needed a 2nd opinion and hence here I am. He saw only a couple of cavities that werent that major and kept a close watch on it as long as I brush and floss everyday I should be fine. Did some teeth cleaning with the hygienist and that was it. The staff were very nice and friendly. Dr. Pham is conservative with his diagnosis which I like. Dr. Shively was also there to greet me. Such a friendly place, I highly recommend.....Forgot to mention, I love the massage chairs, it was very relaxing. :)
I feel comfortable here and know that my "teeth" are in good hands! Been going to Dr. Shivley for years. He's the best.
The absolute best dentist and staff! They have been keeping my teeth in amazing condition since my baby teeth days.
I’ve been going to Dr Shively’s office for the last 30 years. Great staff, great dentist even his new associate is awesome. I’ve worked for a couple of dentist previously and this office is one of the best in Bakersfield. They are very thorough, professional, and very honest! Staff is exceptional from the dentist to the hygienist and the front office!
Very peaceful environment. Everyone is very pleasant and caring. Didn't feel rushed. Compared to my previous dentist this office is extremely better! No crowded waiting room.No wait time. You can tell that they are there for your needs and not just the money. They even went above and beyond for my parents giving them the most care! Highly recommend!
I been going to Auburn dental for 18 years great staff very professional
This place is awesome the staff is friendly and caring! They really took the time to understand my needs and get to know me!!! They gave me an X-ray and asked about my history! I really liked that the dentist explained what I needed and what I wanted for myself! We talked about flossing and the usual however I didn't feel intimidated by him uncomfortable instead I felt at ease because he used examples when explaining and talked to me like a person not a patient you know :)Apart of my usual now!!! I loved my visit !!
Same great service for the past 35 years. They never push unneeded dentistry and seem to be up on the latest practices. I would whole heartedly recommend this dentist office.
This is one of the finest dental practices in town. Both Dr. Shively and Dr. Pham are outstanding and the office staff is top-notch. They have the latest equipment, are extremely gentle, and super friendly. I am so thankful to have them close by, in a beautiful office, too.

5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had a new crown made in the office yesterday and Dr. Pham was my dentist! He is fabulous and I can't say enough good things about him. He is gentle, caring, explains everything that's going to happen, and his expertise is second to none. I had zero pain and wasn't even sore the next day. His assistants are so kind and patient. A truly amazing office staff rounds out what makes this office so special. This review comes from a lady that is 61, who has never had a positive experience with this type of dental work. Ever. Thank you Auburn Dental and Dr Pham. I will never be scared again! 😊👏🏻🙌🏻
Let me start off by saying that going to the dentist is something I used to dread more than I can say. I say this only because I have had the worst experiences ever throughout my life and I am 61!. All of this changed yesterday when I went in for a crown at Auburn Dental Center. Dr Pham and the staff are all truly amazing. He is kind, patient, thorough, and his knowledge and skills are fabulous, to say the least. I can NOT even tell I had any dental work what so ever - other than my new crown took away the discomfort my cracked one gave me, AND it was made right in the office! No waiting for two weeks with a temporary. I really can't say enough positive things and am so very happy my friend gave me the referral.I highly recommend Dr Pham and this fabulous office!!
Great people, great staff, great service !!!!

I just had a recent visit to this dentist, I was a new patient to them. Over all I had a very good experience here being my first time. They made me feel very comfortable especially since I have a fear of dentists, the staff was super kind. I did have a bit of a wait time, my appointment was at 10:45 and didn't see the hygienist until 11:30 or so. The hygienist was sweet & kind she explained everything as well as Dr. Pham. I definitely don't mind coming back here for my routine cleanings.
Absolutely the best experience I've had in a dentist office. They had all of the newest technology I was really impressed. I can't say enough about the staff. You can really tell they love working there! I felt amazing after leaving her office. So glad that I chose Auburn dentistry!
Dr. Shively, has been my dentist for 30 years. His dental office is one of the best in town without exaggeration. It all starts when you call and setup an appt and walk into his office that the patient is provided the best service possible. All the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Dr. Shively has a new associate Dr. Roger Pham. They make a wonderful team providing the same quality care. I was pleasantly surprise when I met doctor Pham. Dr. Pham is friendly and quickly makes you feel comfortable and safe in his care. He performed a complete neck and head cancer evaluation on me, and mentioned oral cancer was on the rise and wanted to make sure everything checked out ok. He advised my husband to go see a dermatologist because of an unusualy shaped mole on his neck. He advised me to think about a recommendation he made to me. I appreciate his approach in the way he explains his findings in his exam and in making his recommendations. He is always aware of what the patient might be feeling and is always checking with the patient if they are doing okay when he is working in their mouth. I’m very happy for Dr. Shively and for his patients, that he now has Dr. Pham working with him because I know Dr. Shively wants the best for his patients that’s why I have been going to see him for 30 years.
Dr Shively and his staff are all fantastic. They make having to go to the Dentist a very pleasant experience. They are very punctual as far as keeping appointment times are concerned. I don't think I have ever sat in the waiting room longer than 5 mins.If you ever need a crown, this is the place to go. They have a in-house machine that will create your crown within 1/2hr. (No multiple visits needed).
Love Dr Shively assistants periodontist and front desk staff. They are all so kind.
I will only go to Dr Shively. I am a denta-phobe, and he and his staff have been great! I no longer dread the dentist!
I was looking for a new dentist closer to home & which meets me needs. I'm glad to say I found my dentist at Auburn Dental Care! The staff was so friendly and made me feel comfortable . I had some fillings done and everything went well. I will continue to go to ADC & recommended them to all my friends.
I'd gone to different dentists in town but this is the best place ever! They get me in and out in no time, they never make me wait. Their facility is beautiful and their staff is the best.
Let me preface this by saying: I hate having to go to the dentist. I have had a LOT of dental work done and it is usually painful and without much care for the patients' wants or feelings towards treatment. This is the first dentist that I have ever been to that actually included me in the decisions on my treatment plan. The staff was all very friendly and seemed to genuinely care about me as a patient. Everyone was incredibly helpful and understanding of my anxiety about dentists. Dr. Shively is incredibly nice and answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed. They don't overbook so you get a lot of face-time with the dentist, and they also give you real time estimates for your visit so you can plan the rest of your day accordingly. He actually spent quite a bit of time talking to me about my personal dental needs and what we can do to optimize my dental care. I am actually looking forward to going back to see Dr. Shively. I will definitely recommend him to all of my friends and family members! I already told a friend about him and they are planning to schedule their next appointment with this wonderful team! It is so hard to find a good dentist these days and I feel like I have found a hidden gem in their practice!
Absolutely the best dentist, and dental staff in Bakersfield. The chairs are massage chairs with TV's hanging over them. If you are here for a crown it's one stop. No temp needed. Dr Shively has a machine that can make the permit crown while you wait. He is great at matching the color too. I've been coming here for as long as I can remember. I would highly recommend his office for the best and most honest dental care in Bakersfield
Really top notch dental office. I don't see how they could be any better! Dr. Shively is extremely gentle. and never rushes. He constantly asks about any pain you may be having during procedures, and is very concerned with your comfort level. There are TV's above the chairs so you can keep your mind occupied while getting your dental work done. I even got to watch my new crown being made in office while I waited. Which was great because it didn't require having to spend a week or two with a temporary crown in place. Just one visit and done. His staff are also great! His long time office Manager Cindy is spot on with billing and insurance. Never a worry.
Just had the best experience you could ask for from Dr. Shively's dental office. Had to have a crown put on today and usually you get prepped fitted with a temporary then have to come back for the permanent crown...not at Dr. Shively's! He has this state of the art machine that mills the permanent crown in office and you can watch your crown being made...awesome! Done in less than 3 hours on my way home very pleased with the outcome. Highly recommend this dental office.

The best dental office I have ever been to. Friendly,caring, GENTLE and they see me on time at every appointment. AND I watched their machine make my crown and they put it on that same day! Wow!Beautiful new office!
My experience is always positive. The staff is friendly and professional. The care is exceptional.
