Nikki S.

“Dr. Han is excellent. I saw him every 6 months for several years. He always remembered me and details we talked about at my last visit. He was very nice and felt like he went above and beyond spending more time on me than I’ve experienced elsewhere (vs just the hygienist). I was always in and out of there in 20-30 minutes and never paid a thing with my insurance. The front desk was great about finding appointments that worked for me and made sure to let me know what and when my insurance would cover. It was incredibly convenient to stop in at lunch with the location of my office.”

Karen C.

“I came here on a referral from a colleague/friend. I moved to SF last year and had been putting off making an appt. as I’m generally not a fan of the dentist. The reception process was a little slow, and I had to specifically remind them that I had arrived. They were friendly and helpful though. I saw Dr. Harris for my cleaning and consultation. He was fantastic. The pre-cleaning was gentle, and the full cleaning was thorough but efficient. No complaints in the pain dept., and I would classify my gums as being sensitive. This was probably the best dental experience I’ve ever had.”
