2005-11-02 11:04:04 I've been seeing the dentist since my teeth started coming in. No cavities so far ;) —RyanCastellucci
2005-12-02 16:05:25 I've only been to his office once, but I was very impressed with the quality of work, honesty, friendliness, and professionalism. —GrahamFreeman
2006-10-12 11:56:50 I've been to Howard for 20 years; he's very capable technically, but his mannerism is a bit frantic for my tastes—seems distracted at times. I had to take significant initiative to obtain insurance reimbursement for a crown replacement—something that was his responsibility rather than mine. I'm also a bit disgruntled about being coaxed into paying for a Night Guard that was unnecessary. Time for a change. —MF
-I would like to comment on this, most dental offices will contact thier patient's insurance company and file the claim as a service to the patient. Getting reimbursement from the insurance company is actually the patient's responsibility (not the dentist's), just as it is the patients responsibility to pay the fees if the insurance company denies the claim. If you want to make sure your insurance company will cover a procedure you can always get a pre-approval. -dagonjones
2007-05-13 17:40:27 Very kind and professional - At my first appointment, Dr. Shempp met with me in a small conference room to describe his medical style, address my concerns about my teeth (hadn't put that much thought into it really before then), and described his care plan - before I even got in the chair - quite the service for just a regular old cleaning! I also sought out Dr. Shempp's office to get a second opinion about a procedure that was recommended by another Davis dentist that seemed unnecessary. Dr. Shempp gave me the pros and cons, his recommendation, and respected my decision on the issue. I highly recommend Dr. Shempp and his office. They also put thought into your financial needs when considering care plans (great with handling student insurance). It does take a long time to get an appointment, expect a 6 mos. wait (they do call if they have cancellations). —SaraMeyer

2009-11-11 15:08:43 I would highly recommend Dr. Shempp. I was referred to Dr. Shempp by Dr. Mandelaris (an excellent pediatric dentist) about a year ago and I have been very impressed. When I had questions about a procedure Dr. Shempp had recommended, he called me back immediately on my cell phone. He was knowledgeable and professional and very willing to answer all my questions. His office staff has also always been courteous and helpful. Most impressively, Dr. Shempp also has helped me resolve a dental problem that had been plaguing me for years and that several other dentists had been unable to address. —KimHeroy
