As a university student earning her bachelor of science degree, in 2002, Janie began working at Woolf Dental sterilizing dental instruments. She later worked in dental assisting, collections, and billing before becoming our receptionist. And after earning her bachelor's degree, Janie became our business manager.
Born in Manila, Philippines, Dr. Rivera moved to the U.S. in 1981 with her family. But family ties and the community make Bakersfield feel like home. Dr. Rivera's father, a physician, influenced her decision to become a dentist. She noticed that he practiced medicine with tenacity, integrity, and compassion.
Our office is located right off West Side Parkway and Calloway Drive, near Mercy Hospital - Southwest. Located in the Central Valley, Bakersfield is California's second fastest-growing city. Bakersfield is in Kern County-a top U.S. oil and agricultural producer, flourishing with grapes, citrus, almonds, and roses.

We will warmly greet you by name, welcome you to our office, and we will not keep you waiting.

Very nice place and friendly staff!! Instead of a cramped office, there’s plenty of space with open ceilings, with extra large ceiling fans. Dr. Kobliska was very nice, and had different options for what I needed done. The office staff had a quote from my insurance before I left! I was very surprised. Plenty of staff to get what I came for. Thank you for the experience!

New patient at Woolf Dental. Wow they made me feel so right at home. Did not feel like a dental office. Would not call them the staff would call them friends.
In entering the front door every thing was so clean and fresh feeling. Equipment was all in order and ready to go, and so was I. Dr. Kobiska was so informative on my dental condition. explained so clearly for me. See you guys soon, thanks for all your help.

The way of this office operate is very different.. they have many assistants running around the office but not do much. There were 2 patients during my appointment and other dental chairs were empty but the office said they were full and not take more patients. No reminder calls prior to the appointment, my appt
was not on their schedule. I have to call them to ensure my appointment existed
So disappointed. They are not 5 stars like I expected. 5 stars is way over rated for this dentist office.

Been a patient of Woolf Dental for well over 15 years now. Wouldn't dream of going anywhere else for dental care. The entire Woolf Dental team is always so kind and professional. They all go above and beyond to make sure your comfortable with any procedure being done. I've even had Dr Woolf personally take the time to call me in the evening after having work done just to make sure I was feeling ok and pain free. Thank you Woolf Dental!

I have been trying many dentist as I could because I could not find the right for me in Bakersfield. Fortunately, I came across with Woolf Dental and I fell in love at the first sight. They definitely know their job, and that is all what matters. I strongly recommend this place to everyone.

I love Dr, Woolf and his staff! I have had the same hygienist for nearly 20 years! .Staff is friendly, helpful and professional. Appointment are always on time...there is never the sitting in the lobby just waiting, waiting and waiting. They just have the best system flow. Also, who doesn’t ”t love a foot massage while you are having your teeth cleaned? 🖐🏻 I do! Today, I had a cleaning and a crown ..I drive from the coast to continue being seen by Dr. Woolf and his awesome hygienist Joey!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Great place, in every aspect. Ladies up front are always so nice! Dentists and assistants are great as well. I needed about 7 cavities taken care of, 1 root canal and 2 extractions in one month’s time and every bit of it was taken care of. They are thorough in what needs to be done and when/how it needs to be done. I am extremely pleased with Woolf Dental and plan to bring my entire family in.

Amazing dental office! From the staff at the front desk to the dental hygienist and dentist, they are all awesome. Not only are the staff super friendly and professional, the building is very clean and you can even get your feet massaged while you're getting dental work done. By far the best dentist office I've ever been to! I had two fillings done and was in and out of the office in about 45 minutes.

Let me start out by saying that I am absolutely terrified of dental offices which is why I haven't a been the dentist in my adult life (25 years old currently, I know, terrible) but as soon as I entered the waiting room I felt very welcomed. The atmosphere is so nice and relaxing. It's beautiful. The receptionist was very sweet and helpful. The RDA who took me back, I wish I could remember her name, she was AMAZING! She spoke to me as if she knew me my whole life, even though this was my first time meeting her. She was gentle, informative, very willing to answer my questions, and made

Went here yesterday for my second time, first time was great! Everyone was very nice and welcoming. Second time I went I had a real procedure done because my previous dentist had injured cracked my tooth. Dr. Woolf and his rda were very nice and he did such a great job with putting a whole crown on my tooth no pain or discomfort. This will be my dentist for the rest of my life. Highly recommend him and his wonderful team!

I visited Woolf Dental for a teeth cleaning and check up. I cannot say enough good things about the office. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Dr. Woolf has a very modern, comfortable dental office with the most up to date technology available. My dental hygienist was fantastic. She was extremely knowledgeable and very gentle with my teeth. It was by far the best teeth cleaning that I have ever received. After my cleaning was done, Dr. Woolf came by and checked in on me. Known as one of the best cosmetic dentists in the country, I was amazed at his attention to detail and kindness. I cannot

I am so happy with the care I have received at Woolf Dental! From the moment I walk in I am welcomed by the staff by name. I've never had to wait for more than a few minutes before I am taken back to a comfortable room. The office is open and so you are not locked into a tiny cubicle. There are tvs for each station, with the ability to watch what you want. I'm always offered: a heated neckroll, a foot massage (for during treatment- who ever heard of such a thing?!), and I saw some patients with a warm blanket. I've had extensive work done: Tooth planing, cleanings, replacing fillings

Be cautious about getting work done at this place. VERY EXPENSIVE!!! Do your homework because Genie at the front desk lie to you about what insurance they accept. After that they bill you at a higher rate. This is the scam that they run. They already got your money, so they don't care if they get your business again.

Dr. Jerry Woolf has been my dentist since 1996. He and his staff are highly skilled professionals who consistently use the latest in dental technology to deliver premium care to patients. They also regularly attend classes to stay current on the most innovative techniques and newest products in the field of dentistry.

In addition, Dr. Woolf and his team are very personable, kind and caring people who treat all patients (young and old) with a gentle touch. In fact, I developed a fear of dentists as a child, and only began to recover from this phobia when I started going to see Dr. Woolf. I began
