PATIENT REVIEWS

I had a lovely experience with Dr. Tobar. Everyone was really kind, helpful and patient with me. I had a really positive experience. I hadn’t seen a dentist in many, many years and I feel lucky my sister referred me. I experienced very careful and transparent care. I left having all the information I needed to continue receiving dental care from Dr. Tobar. I highly recommend her office and expertise to all who are looking for an amazing dentist!

After having a wonderful dentist retire, I looked around for a dentist who would serve our family (husband and daughter as well as myself).  Choosing a dentist is a very personal thing to do:  dentists are like primary care physicians for our mouths, and they become part of our extended family because we see them and their staff for many years. In looking around, I was lucky to find a friend who knew Victoria Tobar from when she was a student, and followed her career through college and then dental school.  This friend gave terrific reviews about Dr. Tobar’s personal commitment to dentistry and her youth.   So—I “interviewed” Dr. Tobar on the telephone, then went in to meet her, and was impressed with:  the hygienically clean dental space, the care in which her office staff handled getting the xrays from our last dentist and the precise way that Dr. Tobar was able to multi-task during a basic cleaning of my teeth.  The other thing that I observed was the respect the staff have for each other:  you can always tell when the staff treats others with less than normal respect: that usually means that the staff has personality problems among them.  Luckily, that is NOT the case at Dr. Tobar’s. In addition, my husband had a bad toothache before he was scheduled for a regular exam, and Dr. Tobar and her staff were able to treat his problem and quickly stop the pain.  He was also surprised at the professionalism of everyone on the staff, and impressed with Dr. Tobar’s quick assessment of his problem and its resolution. We hope to be among her patients for the next 20 years or so…by that time she may have some grey hair that will give her an air of sophistication…Right now, she is very intelligent, thoughtful, and gentle….and I will enjoy going back for general maintenance and whatever else happens to my 74-year-old teeth.

Does anyone “like” going to the dentist?  I can honestly say NOW that I have found Dr. Tobar…I love going to the dentist!!!  I have never met a dentist who can basically put me at so much ease that I could fall asleep in the chair.  If she wasn’t working in my mouth, I probably would.  I have been to many dentists…and have never been as happy as I am now.  She has a great sense of humor… she is caring and oh so gentle…the shot being the first.  I really do not know HOW to put in words to express my feelings except that she IS EXTRA special!  You would have to go yourself to understand.  Besides all this, her staff is just as wonderful. Her office, equipment etc. is exceptionally clean and organized.  My hat (if I wore one) would definately be off to this lady…Dr. Tobar!!!!  THANK YOU for all that you have done and now I am not afraid to smile again!!!!

I have always hated going to the dentist!!!!! The night before I have always had to mentally prepare myself just because I get so nervous. But I must say from the moment I arrived at the Dental office- I found parking right away, as I walked into the office I was the first one there so there was no wait at all. The office is nice and clean and the staff was very pleasant. When Dr. Tobar came into the room to do my examination she explained everything she would be checking and then she proceeded to do the examination. I really liked the fact that she was very thorough and she was very delicate when examining my mouth. Believe me, I have had my share of dentists in the past that were extremely rough on my poor mouth. Finally when it came to the teeth cleaning it was not bad at all. Again the thoroughness and the fact that those sharp instruments were not constantly poking my gums was a huge plus for me.  I will definitely be going back to Dr. Tobar…

I went to Dr. Tobar for general dental maintenance and cleanings, after numerous visits at her office I asked about dental implants. I decided to move forward not too long after and had two front dental crowns done by Dr. Tobar, and she worked closely with Dr.Scharf (oral surgeon) to ensure my dental implant journey was comfortable and perfect. The process took 6 months and I am very satisfied with my smile. Dr. Tobar and her associates are friendly, gentle and put customer satisfaction first. Thank you Dr. Tobar and team!

My family and I had to get a new dentist since ours retired recently.  Thankfully Dr. Tobar was able to book appointments for us as two of my family members had urgent dental issues. The doctor is very easy to talk to and is very professional.  She also uses the newest technology for obtaining x-ray’s and cleaning.  Honestly our former dentist was still in the dark ages so to speak as far as modernizing his equipment.   Have also to give a ton of commendation to the office manager, Marissa, who is a lovely lady.  She is so patient and has saved the day for us a few times now in relation to getting a quick appointment to see Dr. Tobar.   Truly recommend this dental office for the doctor and her staff.

I’ve never reviewed a dentist before, and no one at Dr. Tobar’s office asked for a review, but it’s so rare to find an awesome dentist that I thought I’d write one! Dr. Tobar and Joyce did X-Rays, a cleaning, and a new patient exam today, and they were so thorough, kind, and professional that I really enjoyed what is normally an unpleasant experience. Dr. Tobar took the time to show me what was happening with each of my teeth on X-Rays, explained everything she and Joyce were talking about, and offered advice without ever being judgmental. The front desk staff members were both really personable, and I was greeted by name when I walked in. Great dentist in San Francisco – I’m not dreading my next appointment in six months!

I have been with Dr Tobar for almost two years Always provide excellent customer service Staffs are always there to help(insurance,copay etc), and offered professional dentist advices to protect my teeth in a long run. Definitely recommended for friend and family for the sunset neighborhood   Glad to have you as my primary dentist Thank you Dr. Tobar

Had a great experience at Victoria Tobar, DMD! It was my first time going to this provider as I moved to the city recently. The staff was great and quickly booked an appointment for me/quickly collected my dental information from my last dental provider which made the transition really easy! Also, the folks who I had my appointment with were great, cared about my dental needs, and took the time to explain things to me. Definitely going again!

I love Dr. Tobar. I first went to her about two years ago while I was pregnant. I had a tooth that was causing me a lot of pain. She was able to take care of me right away and understood my needs as a pregnant woman. She also helped me save my tooth front teeth.  What I love most about Dr. Tobar is that she doesn’t try to juggle multiple patients at once.She takes her time with her patients and is a perfectionist. I really can not say enough good things about her. I feel lucky to have found her.

I would highly recommend Dr. Tobar to anyone, especially anyone who is nervous about going to the dentist (like me)! The whole office is very calm and clean with out smelling like a typical dentist! Dr. Tobar and all the staff I came in contact with were very helpful and gave me lots of information so I felt informed! They were great in breaking down the cost- what is covered by insurance, what isn’t- what is needed, what is suggested! She is also on email and you register online, using less paper!!!

I admit, I am a little apprehensive about dentists. I’ve had experiences in the past where they try to upsell me or pressure me into getting treatments I don’t need. Not the case here! I bought a zoom whitening treatment off one of those deal sites, and fully expected to be pressured and sold as a new client at every turn. Not so – Dr. Tobar’s staff, and Dr. Tobar herself, are relaxed, courteous, and treated me as if I was any other patient (vs. one who was just scrounging for a good deal.) They are extremely thorough in all they do and check in with you frequently to make sure they understand your needs and that you’re doing ok. The zoom treatment itself require 2 appointments – 1 to do the assessment and create “molds” you can use for upkeep afterwards, and a second appointment to actually perform the whitening. The first took about 30 mins, the second took about 1.5 hours (20 mins each for the 4 zoom sessions, plus some set up and cleanup). I was well prepared for the treatment – they recommended a special toothpaste to use before the treatment to combat sensitivity. I was skeptical, but it really worked! I’ve had zoom treatments before where I didn’t use the toothpaste, and this time did not feel any sensitivity at all until the very last session. What impressed me most? Her modest little office, though small, really knows her customer base and is decked out with little technological upgrades. An ipad was used to fill out my new client form, and I received a reminder text to confirm my appointment. In a city full of tech snobs, these little touches are big wins. The only downside, sadly, is her location – I don’t live anywhere near this area and it’s a bit out of my way. Luckily, there’s plenty of street parking out in front to make my commute just that easier. Good job Dr. Tobar, keep it up!

I have been seeing Dr. Tobar for about 3 years. I have always had a pleasant experience at every visit. Dr. Tobar and her staff are awesome. They are welcoming, accomadating and never make you feel rushed. They always explain and make you feel taken care of. When my daughter came of age to need a dentist visit I considered taking her to a pediatric specialist . Im so glad I didnt. I took her to see Dr. Tobar. Her first visit went so well she couldn’t wait to go back. For some reason she is obsessed with going and constantly asks me when her next exam will be. I highly recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Tobar is the most AWESOME dentist and a great person! I wish I could give her 6 stars! She is an excellent technician but is also gentle at the same time. She listens and never dismisses any concerns I may have. Her assistant and receptionist are also exceptionally nice people. Lastly all the charges are clearly explained as far as what’s covered and what’s out of pocket, you never feel ripped off! My family have been clients of hers for years and now travel all the way from Vallejo to see her, trust me, it’s well worth it! I would highly recommend Dr. Tobar to anyone!

These days it’s hard to find a good dentist, but a friend recommended Dr. Tobar. I had not gone to a dentist for some time, mostly, because I never found one I liked enough to return to, I was skeptical, that is until I went to see Dr. Tobar. She is patient, incredibly personable and easy to talk to. When working on my teeth, she took great care to be gentle, paid close attention to all cues of my comfort level, and made a clear effort to listen to all my concerns. She took all the discomfort and worry I had about going to the dentist and turned it into quite a pleasant experience. I plan to use her for all my dental care needs. Plus, she has snazzy business cards. What a pro!

I rarely write reviews, but Dr. Tobar & Co. deserve it. I bought a Living Social deal for a teeth cleaning and x-rays, and Dr. Tobar and her staff did a fantastic job. I hadn’t been to the dentist in a while (sorry mom) and they gave me a thorough, detailed cleaning. I was especially impressed by Dr. Tobar’s attention to detail — she spent a good deal of time cleaning up old dental glue that was still stuck to my teeth from years ago — considering I was visiting her office at a discounted rate. Fantastic staff, fantastic service — highly recommended.

I highly recommend Dr. Tobar and her team! I received a Zoom whitening treatment, as well as an initial exam prior to the treatment. The procedure was carefully explained to me, and the whole team was extremely professional, attentive and gentle throughout. Plus, the results were great! I’ll definitely be back for cleanings, and other services!

I avoid having dental work done because I always have issues. I cannot recommend Dr.Tobar enough.  I am so glad that I listened to all the reviews here.  She is patient, kind, and only does needed work.  I can be kind of anal when it comes to my teeth and she was extremely understanding about it all.  Her entire is staff is top notch and friendly as well.  They were amazing at fitting me in at two back to back last minute appointments.   Great service, clean facilities, a calm environment, and parking is easy to find!  What more could you ask for?

Victoria is very knowledgeable about her craft and our mouths. There’s an area in mouth I had issues with for 15 years I would always ask the dentist what is this??? they could never answer my question so I gave up asking. Then my first visit with Victoria told me what I had without me asking. The assistant is not bad either, super sweet lady. I also had some cleanings, fillings and cavities done for what it’s she does good work. The place is always clean

Great dentist, nice staff, gentle touch, easy parking, and regular availability!   I just said that in Yelp, so I could be destroying that last pro.  Shucks.   Dr. Victoria Tobar is a fantastic Doctor of Medicine in Dentristry (DMD) instead of a DDS, which could explain her exemplary “bedside manner” and lack of emphasis on drilling and fillling.   I came to her for a second opinion on my husband’s recommendation after I’d seen a dentist who insisted I needed two fillings and a crown in a mouth that had no pain or even discomfort. He must have been a drill happy and gold digging because two years later I have no problems.  When Dr. Tobar reviewed my case she looked carefully and said, “I see nothing exciting with your teeth!”   Ah dentist humor!  The only problem you may encounter with this professional is laughing too hard at her funny stories when she’s working on your mouth.   After numerous traumatic experiences with dentists I can happily say I am no longer afraid when I go to this one.   Since that first visit Dr. Tobar has treated me with invisalign and done something that made it so flossing is now a pleasure instead of a nuisance.  It’s great! Yelpers: Be not afraid.   Go see her, but don’t go when I want to.   😉

After searching on line, I found Dr. Tobar has all 5 starts reviews, I decide to chose Dr Tobar as our ( my wife and me ) dentist  , after three times visits, we are more than happy with Dr. Tobar excellent service, she is extremely genuine, professorial, kindly , her office stuff is nicely too, we are totally satisfied and highly recommend Dr. Tobar if you are looking for a best dentist Dr.Tobar is the first , best choice !

I was looking for a good dentist in the sunset and I came across Victoria Tobar. First of all I read all the reviews about her dental office and called her immediately. Great thing was they were accepting new patients. So I visited Dr. Tobar in July and was blown away by how friendly her whole staff was. I came in early too and they totally accommodated that. She answered all my questions and wasn’t in a rush to get me out. In the past, I’ve had some bad experiences with dentists who would rather make an extra dollar and recommend procedures that cost more but she’s honest and genuine. Trust me you wouldn’t want anyone else handling your teeth  A++

I changed primary dentists to Dr. Tobar and I’m so glad I did. Dr. Tobar is incredibly kind, patient and understanding. Her voice is very calm and instantly comforting. I came in to her office for a check up and a second opinion on my root canal over a year ago. My old primary on Noriega said I had 10+ cavities to treat.. also a root canal. Unfortunately, I got a second opinion AFTER my old primary attempted to treat the root canal twice.. but i’m thankful i did before treating 10+ cavities. I have decent oral care imo so it didn’t seem right to be told I have 10+ cavities. Dr. Tobar is actively monitoring my root canal.. (just recently referred me to a endodontist since i’m now having occasional symptoms) and told me i only had one cavity which has been treated. Dr. Tobar recently did dental bonding on 3 of my front teeth that was causing smile alignment issues.. and she did a wonderful job.. Such an amazing job i want it done on one last tooth to finish my smile transformation after my invisalign. I really like this dentist, i never have any complaints or leaving with a ill feeling. She’s very conservative in the sense that she knows what she is capable of. I wish my old primary was like that.. to instantly refer me to a specialist opposed to taking my money and doing a shitty job.. leaving me more problems down the line! See you soon Dr. Tobar! Keep being awesome! Thank you!

First visit – Dr. Victoria Tobar and her Assistant Joyce took great care during my routine cleaning and went over details about my X-Rays. They both were very caring and professional from start to finish of the process. During Covid-19 their office is taking extra precautions – taking temperatures on entry, wearing proper PPE gear, keeping minimal staff, and only seeing 1 or 2 customers every hour or so. U get all the attention! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! 🙂

Am I seriously writing a review for a DENTIST!? Yes, Dr. Tobar and I were clearly meant to be just like me and my OBGYN! Never common for me to “like” my dentist since they’re the ones who purposely cause pain to your teeth. Yes it’s been some time since my last dentist visit and I have my reasons. I was in horrible pain and needed immediate relief. I was referred to Dr. Tobar and lucky for me the woman answering phones could hear my desperation and painful tone she squeezed me in that very same day. Office location is convenient and parking was easy. Office is super cute and cozy, I love how they have a mini fridge for the thirsty people like myself. I’m greeted by a friendly face so sweet and warm, almost forgot I was there to be tortured. As I’m sitting there my hands start to get clammy; must be the nerves…the door opens…and yet another friendly face! Here comes the scary doctor…NOT AT ALL! I’m introduced to the cutest lil doctor (I’m a big girl) who looks like she’s my little sisters age. I’ll be honest I was a little taken aback with how young she looked. It made me doubt her skills and experience. Dr. Tobar let her work speak for itself. She immediately sought out the root cause (no pun intended) and provided me with a temporary solution. She was receptive to my worry and anxiety and treated me appropriately. Normally I’ll hear something like “oh come on don’t be a baby” but Dr. Tobar offered assistance and right there I knew I was in good hands. The energy felt safe and from there I closed my eyes… I came back for a few other things and again Dr. Tobar showed compassion and empathy to my fear and anxiety. My most recent visit is why I’m writing this Yelp. I got a call from Marisa (woman who answers phones) who kindly informed me that I was due for cleaning. She worked around my schedule (so cool she remembered my work hours) so that it was hard for me to say no. I’m the type that’ll make an appointment and forget I even made one. Marisa is definitely on the ball when it comes to reminders. Noting over the top and annoying, one simple text to confirm and another saying how excited they are to see you on the day of appointment. What Im about say next will blow your mind…my teeth cleaning was pleasurable and satisfying! Dr. Tobar took her time with my pearly whites and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. I highly recommend Dr. Tobar for anyone who dislikes the dentist.

IN the center of San Francisco, we have a medical building in Union Square. The address is 450 Sutter Street. The local nickname: “450 suffer” 🙂 Why? This tower with a security guard and mucho stress is full of radiologists and dentists. Very little actual medical care is delivered in that building. It’s billing operations, really. I drive an extra half hour to avoid 450 Suffer for dental care. Instead, I cross town to see Victoria. She does not leave me to an assistant, not even for a cleaning. You get the doctor herself. Parking is easy. Total non-judgemental environment. I like it 🙂 Zoe, who handles the front office, is smart, accurate, accountable — and honest.

I just have to say that going to the dentist and experiencing such extraordinary patient care and comfort has been taken to a new level thanks to the office of Dr. Victoria Tobar and in particular Lina in her office. I was in there yesterday for a Zoom treatment and was treated with the utmost of respect, patience and conscientious attention unlike that experienced before at any other dental practice. The office is spotless, the stuff is ebullient and kind, and their patient care is unsurpassed. I highly recommend Dr. Tobar for any and all dental attention one needs.

I had been going to an independent dental hygienist, for many years, and then sadly for me, she retired her independent practice.  It was time to find someone new to help keep my teeth clean, and wasn’t sure what I was going do.  I believe I originally found Dr. Tobar, through a coupon, and used it as she was fairly close. Well sometimes things work out and I feel like I really lucked out.  As others have noted Dr. Tobar and her staff are really attentive to their patients.  She is very thorough, explains options, and has a very personal and supportive approach.  The team there is great, and I always go away feeling good. I would highly recommend Dr. Tobar and her team, I plan to be seeing her for some time to come.

My appointment was on 10/18/11 (a little less than two months ago), I wrote this review a little earlier but didn’t have time to complete it until now. This is my 5th/6th review on yelp, and it’s my first 5-star review. So I checked various sources and I discovered that the service sector in the US accounts for about 80% of GDP. The US is largely a service-based sector. I’m mentioning this because every time I conduct a transaction with a business here in this country, I generally get shitty customer service from the businesses I do deals with. Either the results are disappointing or the attitude/demeanor of the employee/employer offering the service is unpleasant. Living Social featured Victoria’s dental practice and there were two deals that were offered. The first was a zoom teeth-whitening treatment for $175 and the second was a dental exam, full-mouth x-rays, and cleaning for $90. I opted for the second option (dental exam, full-mouth x-rays, and cleaning) because I had already purchased a zoom teeth-whitening treatment from a different dental practice months before that I wanted to take advantage of later that month. So I wanted my teeth cleaned. I walked in the office and they knew I had a Living Social voucher from when I told them over the phone when I made the appointment. I then filled out the required forms that new patients always have to fill out. There were a few women around the front desk and I didn’t know who was who or who was going to check my teeth out, and then Victoria introduced herself and I was eventually seated soon after. In order for me to give this place 5 stars, I would’ve had to have each procedure (dental exam, full-mouth x-rays, and cleaning) not just completed, but completed very well. The dental exam was performed throughout my one hour stay from the time my teeth were checked out. X-rays of my teeth were taken for record keeping and also to evaluate the condition of my set and to see if there were any cavities. And lastly, she along with a dental assistant, helped clean my teeth. Victoria got me in and out in an hour which was convenient for me because I had another appointment for something else at noon. During my one hour stay there she was very patient and attentive not only with my dental needs but with my questions. Her and I talked a lot about my teeth from what toothbrush, toothpaste, and mouthwash I was using to advice she’d give me about which toothpaste I ought to be using. And one of the things that impressed me with her was when she asked me if I was using any teeth whitening toothpaste because she observed that the enamel of my teeth was alarmingly receding. I told her that I was and then she advised me to stay away from those kinds of toothpaste. I want to also add, for the people using vouchers on any of these social websites whether it be Living Social or Groupon or Bloomspot or whatever, you can tell whether the business you’re dealing with is deserving of a 5-star rating based on a number of characteristics: -Were they snotty or unhappy when they took your voucher? -Did they give you (the customer) any less than excellent service while they sat you down and performed the tasks?-Did they either upsell their services, surprised you by charging you covert fees for work done, or put you on-the-spot and force you to cough up more money for things you didn’t feel you needed or wanted? -Etc. Thankfully this practice did none of that. The price for a cleaning over there is $99 and I’m hopefully planning to go back sometime in the spring to get another cleaning. Positives: -Speedy stay (no more than an hour) -Attentive, responsive AND patient staff (to service AND questions)-Fairly modern equipment -Gentle and welcoming staff (I know “gentle and welcoming staff” sounds redundant, but if they were unpleasant in any way, I would’ve indicated it here) -(And for the guys) Beautiful Latinas (I can feel the anger and rage from the female readers now Negatives: (Nothing that really stood out in this visit)

Dr Tobar is the best dentist I’ve ever had! I even fell asleep in a dental chair during the procedure once, because she does her work very careful and painless. She and her wonderful staff take care of everything. They are very proactive – they contact my insurance in advance to sort out  all possible “extra charges”. I never felt that she is trying to perform any unnecessary procedure just to make an extra buck (and I felt this way before at some other dental offices).  You will never be disappointed if you choose Dr. Tobar.

Dr. Tobar is as sweet as can be. I’ve gone to her for both a routine cleaning and to get cavities filled. Her and her wonderful staff made me feel very at ease and comfortable. The work she did was great and completely painless. I had to pay a small amount out of pocket for whatever my insurance would not cover, which is to be expected. A couple weeks later I received a note from Dr. Tobar’s office saying that the insurance covered more than they had expected and enclosed was a check for the difference. This practice is all about honesty and I couldn’t appreciate that more. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.

Hadn’t been to a dentist in about 10 years. Dr Tobar was excellent. She personally did my cleaning and exam and didn’t exploit the fact that I hadn’t been to the dentist in so long. No cavities, no fillings, no nothing. She was very gentle and even manage to get off some cement that was left over from when I had braces 16 years ago which no other dentist had managed before. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. She’s a really great dentist.

This was an overdue cleaning appointment. First time with Victoria and I can’t be happier. I didn’t take care of my teeth health for a while and it was noticeable, but doctor was really understanding. She explained everything carefully, without judgement – I’ve sadly experienced this before with previous doctors – and gave me lot of advice on how to prevent further damage. Cleaning was gentle but effective. Assistant and receptionist were also exceptional. And the clinic was extremely clean. The measures due to COVID-19 were strict and the whole session felt very safe. Definitely staying with Dr. Victoria and her team for all my Dental needs from now on.

Dr. Tobar is the best dentist! I have been seeing her for my regular 6 month check-up & cleanings for over 2 years. I look forward to coming in because my teeth and gums always feel great after. She is both thorough & gentle and always answers my questions & concerns. She recently did a composite filling for me and it was the most painless dental procedure I have ever had. I recommend Dr. Tobar to everyone who ne a great dentist!

This was my second visit to Doctor Tobar’s Dental facility and as my first visit totally satisfied of her professional services, her gentleness and way of making you feel relax throughout the whole procedure, same goes to her assistant Vanessa.I highly recommend Doctor Tobar to anyone who is looking for professional and a new experience in the dental field.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
