"My husband and I have been going here for about 25 years. They are always friendly, on time and professional, from Mary Jo at the front desk to every single staff member. Dr Tostado is wonderful, knowledgeable with extreme attention to detail. He communicates every aspect of your care. He makes us feel comfortable Dr. Acuna gave me my numbing medicine on my last visit and I didn’t feel any discomfort during its administration and afterwards. She was excellent and was so gentle. They are upfront with all aspects of your care, very ethical and we have never been disappointed. The office is beautiful too, very calm and very clean. I would recommend this practice all the time."
"We love going to the 5 Star Dental group! The people that work there are like family, we’ve been going there for over 38 years and will continue! They are very honest and will only do what is needed! And I have the best smile ever because of them! Dr Tostado is the best and has the reputation of no pain shots!! 😊you will never regret going there!"
"I am very thankful for the team at 5 star! I went to a “prestige” dental office and I had a feeling they did not put in my filling right. A couple of weeks go by, I flossed and it instantly popped out. I went to five star dental and they were able to access it! Dr. Tostado took his time and made sure to do it right. I’m grateful they take it seriously. Worth every penny!"
"I have been seeing 5 Star Dental Group for over 20 years. I have gotten to know & trust everyone & I won’t go to any other dental group. They make me feel like family. 🥰"

"Dr Tostado is so kind and so interested in you and gives you so much of his time. So glad my friends recommended him ! The whole team is amazing! My hygienist , Karen is so sweet and makes teeth cleaning a breeze!!"
"The name of this dental practice is no accident. They are FIVE STARS!!!My story is a long one, but the short version is that following a very recent move from East Texas to San Antonio, I broke a chunk off of my all-on-four on a Sunday afternoon, creating an extremely sharp edge. (This isn't the first time this happened with this appliance, and my former dentist was just as frustrated as I at the situation.)After an anxious conversation with my previous dentist, my husband and I decided that perhaps the "big city" might provide us with more options for care. We found 5 Star Dental Group online and requested an appointment via the link on the page. I briefly described the situation, and hoped for a return call at some point.I got that call about 8:15 Monday morning, (Excellent response time!) and was scheduled for an appointment at 11:30 the same day. (Excellent attention to a very painful emergency problem.)We arrived to find a spotlessly clean, modern, friendly, and very professional office. The front office staff are sweet, and cheerful, yet professional and VERY competent. We were also able to complete all the required forms at home, and bring them with us, saving time at the office.I was in the dental chair almost immediately, and Dr. Tostado and his dental assistant had my broken all-on-four sanded down to a comfortable level within minutes. He determined that the previous lab used an acrylic for my permanent all-on-four, adding that this material is typically use for a temporary. (No wonder it kept breaking every six months!) We discussed what could be done going forward. After x-rays, he developed a treatment plan which will require a complete replacement of my all-on-four. (Interestingly, the x-rays revealed that the positioning and angle on one of my implants, coupled with the length of the all-on-four on that side, and the materials used to manufacture it create a perfect failure storm.)Dr. Tostado identified the problems, and offered at least two options for a solution.Heretofore, my life has been a constant merry-go-round of breakage and replacement every six months.I feel blessed to be in Dr. Tostado's care and look forward to a long association with the practice for my continued regular dental care. My husband was so impressed, that he set up an appointment for his routine cleaning and care as well.This is a rare practice that excels at making you feel like one of the family. You can look around but you won’t find a better practice for all your dental needs. Too bad I can only give them 5 Stars!"
"Excellent experience. Very friendly staff. Always on time. Always professional. I have been going to 5 Star Dental Group for a very long time. My husband and I have never had a bad experience. We know we are getting the best care from 5 Star Dental Group."
"Very professional, knowledgeable, up to the minute (2024 medicine), and ethical! What is not to love? Amazing attention to your health care and caring attention to detail too!"
"This has got to be the best Dentist Office I have ever been to. The staff is awesome and Dr Tostado is a Tooth Artist in my opinion. He did years of extra schooling beyond a traditional dentistry education to be able to qualify for cosmetic dentistry. He also has his own lab where he creates the art he puts in your mouth. I call it his "Tooth Studio". They have a wealth of knowledge, experience, and compassion. The only reason I don't tell many people is because I'm selfish. I don't want them to get too crowded. I live on the opposite side of town from this office and it's well worth the travel. If you are looking for a good dental experience, this is the place. P.S. Please don't tell too many people. You'll screw up my appointment scheduling."
"Excelente servicio por su calidad y calidez. 100% de disponibilidad. I always feel confident because of the kindness and their great professional job"

"Always a great experience at 5 Star Dental Group and Dr. Tostado. Staff is the friendliest ever. I think I've been a patient here for 20 years and they feel like family! I highly recommend them for any dental work that you have to have done. Everyone is gentle and uses the highest/latest technology. Thank you!"
"Dr Gilbert and his staff provide the very best dental care I have EVER experienced. I have had dental care consistently since I was a child, and seventy years later I am constantly amazed at their state of the art technology and their vested interest in providing such a high level of dental care. I am happy to drive 3 hours round trip each time to partner with them to maintain my healthy teeth and gums. Thank you, Dr Gilbert!"
"best dental office in the city. Efficient and well run. We love you guys. They are so good I drive 80 miles for all my dental work. May 2024 update: As always first class operation, wish more business operated like 5 star."

"Absolutely great place. I was nervous before coming in and the staff and office put me at ease. 5 star dental group is a very professional establishment!"
"Awesome as always! I've been with this office about 50 years and always treated with kindness and respect. My hygenist is the best bar none and it would be difficult to find someone better than Dr Tostado."
"Very happy with the staff and both doctors.The staff walked me around the rooms and medical equipment.Both doctors were very professional and seem to care about my dental health .I loved the plan that was given to me with no hidden costs."
"5 Star Dental, Dr. Gilbert Tostado, and his amazing team deserve more than 5 stars. I couldn't be happier with the results of the final procedure yesterday to give me a more confident smile while maintaining the health of my gums and bones.With every visit I have appreciated their willingness and determination to do whatever possible to ensure I am 100% satisfied and happy with the outcome. This is where you want to go for the best dental care you can receive in a welcoming environment. Dr Gilbert is kind, caring and extremely competent. What more could you ask?"

"The attentiveness and care was so surprising to me because I’ve never been treated so well by an establishment. Dr Tostado and his staff were amazing! From the detailed explanation on their billing, the treatments I was receiving and their hospitality. Making sure I was always comfortable, offering blankets, warm towels, beverages. It almost felt like a spa. It is named 5 star dental for a reason! Highly recommend."
"Got in for an appointment in two days. Communication about prices, and options were made avail to me in writing. Everything was discussed and agreed upon before any treatment was given. During the time I was there, someone was checking on me during periods of waiting for the next procedure. The porcelain tooth was ready on site, in no time, and the Doctor and his technician were proficient, accurate, professional and super interested in ME as a person who had chosen to spend my time and money in their office.. It's so hard to find customer.service these days! Thankyou 5 Star, for an excellent experience!"
"Love my visits to 5 Star Dental! The staff and Dr. Tostado are so friendly and professional. The calming atmosphere makes getting my teeth cleaned feel more like a trip to the spa than to the dentist!"
"A loose cap brought me to see Dr Gilbert. My fault as I was snacking on caramels. He fixed the problem with a smile and good wishes. Dr Tostado and staff is wonderful 👏"

"Vicky is cleaning my teeth for 4 years and she does outstanding job. She is the reason I will never switch to other dentist as long as she is there. I drive 2 hours one way to my appointments and will continue , because no one is better than Vicky."
"I am very happy with Dr. Tostado and his staff. They are professional, accurate, and quick. They accommodated me this past week because I have a very busy schedule. I can not thank the team enough. True service and a doctor that truly cares about the outcome of his work. Thank you thank you!"
"It felt like a Dental Spa Day! I was impressed by the amount of time they spent with me , teaching me and also asking questions about what I would like."

"The dentist and office staff are the best. Waiting times are minimal, the dentist answers all questions, and the treatment has been top notch at all my visits. They all care about the patient and what works for them."
"They claim to be a different kind of dental office with individualized attention on you. They are so right! The office is exceptional with walls graced with patients’ before and after smiles. I was blown overboard with Dr. Tostado and his staff. Everything was explained to me in fine detail making sure I left with no questions unanswered. I was looking for a dentist who does veneers and my search is finished. Dr. Tostado explained what he would do specifically for me. I left the office with a clear understanding of what I would be getting, how long the procedures would take and details of what to expect when I came in for my first appointment. The fee for services was given to me in writing. I am ready to begin!"
"The most amazing experience I’ve ever had at a “Dr’s” office. The staff is so welcoming, almost as if you were a family member . Dr. Tostado is delivering first class service, with great hospitality, and a wealth of knowledge in his trade.definitely recommend his practice!"
"Dedicated - Skilled, caring, attention to detail, listens, talented dentists who cares that the end results meet your expectations. "

"Competent People - Excellent dentist and super dental hygienist "
"WOW!!! One way to sum it all up - Left wisdom tooth had begun to ache and the pain was spreading when I called for an appt. His staff got me in the next day at 9:20am.After I spoke with Rosie, the pain began to mitigate, but was still present when I arrived in the office. Karen confirmed that there was a problem with the left lower wisdom tooth which included what left of an abscess. Dr. Tostado confirmed this and explained my options. One of them was the idea that he his wife, Dr. Acuna would be working on me with the goal of removing the errant tooth.Folks, they not only did that, but they also removed the upper companion wisdom tooth, as well.That upper wisdom tooth was more than difficult for them to work as a team to final remove it. As Dr. Acuna did more than her part, the crown on the tooth nest to it broke which required her to replace it.ALL of this work took about 6 hours….6 HOURS!! They never gave up on my and then she continued with post-op care training. It was all done by 4pm. WOW!!!! "
"Excellent Team - Dr. Tostado and his entire staff are fantastic! I love how friendly and attentive they are to our needs. Absolutely the very best you will find- try anywhere else after here and you will soon realize there is no better dentist anywhere!"

"Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable team- everyone is truly fantastic. My teeth and gums have never had better care. I look forward to my dental appointments!"
"He was very professional and patient. After careful examination, he provided several options on how to care of the problem. He listened to all my explanations and answered all my questions. "
"Very good visit 2 days ago. Needed 2 fillings with complicated geometry. I have been coming to this office for a couple of decades and don't plan to change - the staff are very friendly and helpful, and I expected no problems. In fact, the procedure was as painless and successful as anyone could wish. Enjoying granola, hot coffee, and cold orange juice for breakfast today! "

"Dr Tostado was very caring and proficient. I was very comfortable during the whole procedure. "
"I don't know where to start ... this group of talented individuals really go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction. I had two temporary crowns completed as an emergency and I can't wait to see what my permanent crowns will look like. Dr Gilbert is knowledgeable and was very informative when providing options for resolving my dental issues. They really are 5 Star Dental service."
