Dr. Shipp is THE BEST dentist I've ever been to.
He takes into consideration complete health BEFORE proceeding with dental procedures. Being a Type 1 diabetic, Dr. Shipp ALWAYS makes certain that my diabetes is under control, and I am fit to handle any dental treatment.
He suggests a treatment plan to his patients, informs them of all options and time frames in which treatment should occur, and follows the plan based on what is medically necessary for a healthy mouth. He talks his patients thru' procedures so they are aware when sounds, sensations or pain may ensue. I have never been caught off guard by anything he's done, and I feel comfortable and safe in his care.
Dr. Shipp has removed numerous amalgam fillings in my teeth that have cracked or breached over the past 40 years since they were first placed and has replaced them with superior materials. I no longer have ugly silver teeth that are decaying because of bacteria and other agents that have crept into those silver fillings; my teeth are healthy and beautiful.
Costs ... sure, dental procedures are expensive these days. However, Dr. Shipp hasn't raised prices in the 6 years I've been going to him, and his work is worth every penny.
He treats my entire family

Dr. Shipp is in the process of doing an implant with a specialist. He is guiding me through the process and had given me all the available options. His chair-side manners are very good. I would definitely recommend him to others.

The provider/patient interaction is exceptional. Dr. Shipp is both personable and professional at the same time. His skill is exceptional and his attention to detail, i.e., surveillance of dental issues is everything one would expect. I would and do recommend him to all who seek outstanding dental care and attention to their personal concerns.
Jim Dobbins, a grateful and appreciative patient.

Best dentist. My children have loved Dr Ship for the past 15 years. My youngest child, now 16 used to fall asleep on the dental chair. Fantastic Dr, with a great staff.

Dr Shipp and his staff are the BEST! Billing to my insurance company is spotty at times, but they are extremely friendly and competent.

Has been our family Dentist since he started practice in Carmichael. We gave up on 5 previous dentists before we found Dr. Shipp. Recommended to all our friends and they are willing to travel across town to use him also.
Fantastic Staff also they keep great records and remind us of upcomming appointments. We did not use him for 1 year because I changed jobs and our insurance did not include him so we went without care rather than go to another dentist.

I have been a long-time patient of Dr. Shipp and have moved out of Sacramento several times. I fly back in for my 6-month check ups. He is great, very thorough and professional service, and the quality of his work is awesome. His front office and staff are also great to visit.

I've been seeing Dr. Shipp for over 20 years. The entire office is friendly, efficient, painless, compassionate. Richard Shipp has never caused me pain! He has been honest about my treatment options...he has never made promises that he couldn't keep.
Dr Shipp, did, in fact, do some veneer work for my 2 front teeth. That was about 4 years ago and the veneers have held up beautifully...I've never had to have them touched up!
I recommend him to anyone who asked is I know a good dentist.
