Dr. Herndon grew up in Saratoga and has been practicing Dentistry for over 27 years from the same location. Her office is in Downtown Saratoga, across from the Fire Station, with parking right at the front door.
While the office uses the latest tools, equipment, and sterilization techniques (including digital imaging for all X-Rays which is faster, more comfortable, and minimizes radiation exposure), the last thing you feel is like part of an assembly line. Quiet and low key has been the philosophy in the office over the decades.
Dr. Julie Herndon grew up in Saratoga. After graduating from Saratoga High School (go Falcons!), she attended the University of Southern California and received a degree in Exercise Physiology. She then returned to the Bay Area and graduated from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco, where she received her Doctorate degree in Dental Surgery with highest honors. Dr. Herndon then began practicing dentistry in the same office as her father and taught dental students for several years at the Dental School.
She has been practicing in this Saratoga location for almost 30 years, and shes proud to have served multiple generations of local residents. While she has been practicing a long time, she enjoys staying current with the latest technology to provide conservative, gentle, and reliable treatment to meet the needs of each individual patient. The exact same care she provides to her friends and family.
In her free time, Dr. Herndon enjoys gardening, hiking, cooking, quilting, and training her rescue dogs. She is also a strong believer of giving back and has been an active member of Saratoga Rotary Club for 20 years (including serving as president in 2015). She has been on many medical missions to Central America with Rotaplast International assisting with cleft lip palate surgeries. Dr. Herndon has also participated locally for years with the Give Kids A Smile program in Santa Clara County to provide free screenings and dental care to kids in need. She is also an active member of the Santa Clara County Dental Society.
