PATIENT REVIEWS

I am an older man who was cursed with a penchant for tooth decay at a very early age. Consequently, I’ve been in numerous dental offices from Pennsylvania to Northern California (incidentally, I’ve ALWAYS brushed my teeth at least twice a day).  Therefore, I feel well qualified to comment on the San Francisco Dental Office.  I’ve visited this Office several times and each time I was greeted by a friendly, professional staff  and they even knew my name (unlike other dental offices I’ve visited).  The wait to see the Dentist (Dr. Marquis) was never more than 10-15 minutes, unlike the hours I’ve had to wait in other dental offices.  After the x-rays were taken and the exam concluded, I was told and SHOWN in the x-ray by the Dentist exactly the work that was recommended.  However, the decision regarding what work I wanted done was left up to me.  Sometimes, I wanted the most pressing issue fixed and then prioritize the other work in order of importance.  Once the work started, the Dentist informed me of each step she was taking (that NEVER happened with other dentists).  When sufficient numbing was attained, there was absolutely no pain.  The only discomfort was the grinding sound I’ve been accustomed to hearing over the many visits to dental offices.  My experience at the San Francisio Dental Office has been a positive one (I don’t think anyone can say going to the dentist is fun).  Incidentally, the view from the dental chair was absolutely fantastic.  The cost for the work performed was reasonable, considering all that I had to have fixed.  I would definitely return to the San Francisco Dental office (oh yes, I forgot, I have another appointment with Dr. Marquis) and highly recommend the Office to anyone who is looking for a caring, professional, and highly competent staff.

I went for the mouth guard also but never used it. I have been going to this office for over 12 years and never have I had a bad cleaning.  I have found that  a vigorous flossing every single day makes for a more pleasant office visit. ( personal responsibility ) Billing has always been a mystery to me wherever  I go including my mechanic. As far as the crowns, fillings, bleaching, etc. that I have chose to do over the years, it’s all been very professional work. The office is very clean, the staff is highly competent and yes there is a view!

Been going here for 6 months- 2 cleanings, x-rays and 1 filling. The staff is very friendly. I haven’t seen any of the billing issues that others here have discussed, despite changing insurance companies between visits. The Dentist and Hygenist that I’ve seen have both been great. I’ve referred some co-workers here and they’ve all had good experiences, including the one who is deathly afraid of the dentist and hasn’t been in 10 years. I was able to get a filling appointment within a week, no problem.

My first visit as a new patient was an exquisite experience.  I decided to see Dr. Marquis because my former dentist couldn’t schedule me at my convenience.  Dr. Marquis’ office is attractive and welcoming, her team reassured me with their Covid-19 screening and safety measures in the office, and the new patient forms were easy to complete.  Natalia, the hygienist, was incredibly efficient taking x-rays, photos, and measuring my gums, and she provided me a thorough yet gentle cleaning and polish.  Dr. Marquis’ was very personable and her exam was comprehensive.  She focused on educating me on her findings and options for my dental health.  It was entirely comfortable and with no pressure.  Overall, I felt well cared for, and I’m looking forward to my next visit.

Dr. Marquis is that combination of friendly, easily understood, provider who explains one’s options, and the technical expert who painlessly fixes the problems.  I explained that it takes forever for the numbing injection to work and instead of ignoring me, she injected extra and waited patiently for my tooth to become numb!  Sounds like no big deal, but it’s an example of someone who gives a …. I would recommend this practice to anyone with teeth (or anyone without teeth thinking about getting some new ones….). If the person answering the phone is really nice, it might not be Dr. Marquis.  She’s managed to hire friendly happy folks to work in a fast paced office. It may sound petty, but it’s great to speak to a real person right away and to get your issues handled in one call.

I seriously cannot believe what I’ve read on yelp about SF Dental Office. I even waited until I had to go back for fillings to review it, just in case something terrible was brewing, but a few hours after my appointment, even with the novocaine wearing off, I still have 5 stars to give. I added a picture on here of the amazing views of the bridge and bay that you get when you sit in the chair, too, which are AWESOME. My first appointment was my first time at the dentist in like 3 years. I was nervous and told Katie, the receptionist, that when I made the appointment. She obviously took note because Ty*, one of the hygienists, and Dr. Marquis** both knew how I felt when I arrived for my appointment and both went out of their way to make me comfortable. X-rays were easy and painless and the cleaning was the smoothest one I’ve ever had. Dr. Marquis literally explained EVERY step she was taking and showed me every tool so I wouldn’t be uncomfortable.  She showed me my X-rays and explained where and why I needed fillings. She also showed me the corresponding teeth in the mirror so I could check it out. When I had issues with my dental insurance not paying for my services because of some stupid issue with my id number, Katie was SO patient and corresponded with them on my behalf until it was worked out, which it shortly was because of Katie’s dedication. My fillings today were as smooth as they could possibly be, especially considering I have a phobia of the dentist. Super fast and efficient, with Dr. Marquis once again explaining every step, taking care to note my body language so that when I felt a little tinge she was quick to give me more novocaine, showing me my tooth after it was drilled out to let me see how things work and keeping the conversation light but distracting enough to make me think of other things. I would recommend this place over any dentist I’ve been to in my 27 years and seriously am shocked at people’s reviews. * Ty is AWESOME. Super friendly, easy going, and goes out of his way to make sure you have the right magazine and some water, in addition to providing easy, comfortable conversation during a process that is anything but pleasant in my book. I was happy to see him when I went back again today.** Dr. Marquis, in addition to looking like a supermodel, is super warm and exudes know-how. She talks to you at length about your habits, your genes, the shape of your teeth, etc. etc. She doesn’t rush at all and makes you feel totally valuable, not just another item on the factory line.

I have been going to SF Dental Office for a couple years now… and have nothing but positive things to say about the dentist and the office team. Not only is the office decor beautiful and welcoming… everyone is so nice. It is such a friendly place and the equipment is very modern… all my other experiences include creepy, depressing office spaces… if you have to go to the dentist… this is the places to go. My teeth have never looked or felt better. I nor my husband… who has different insurance than me… have never had any problems with billing or expensive treatments. I think some people should blame insurance not the dentist.

I honestly don’t get the bad reviews, and I’m even a “glass half empty” kind of guy.  I have gold-plated dental insurance that would make this office a fortune if they wanted to max it out.  When I went there late in the year after not having used my insurance the rest of the year, something that says JACKPOT to most dentists, they pressured and upsold me not even a tiny little bit.  Heck, I had to bring up some dental work I wanted (veneers), and they convinced me that those could probably wait. I’ve been to dentists with fancier gear and spa-like amenities, but I’ve never felt the need for those here, because Danny puts me at ease like no one else, and so do her hygenists (I’ve actually switched dentists based on bad hygenists alone).  When someone’s going about your mouth with metal hooks, needles, and pneumatic drills, personality really _matters_, and Dr Marquis has warmth and reassurance in abundance.

I am not sure why there were any bad reviews. Every visit I have been they tell me what my insurance accepts before doing any work and how much it will cost. I have had 4 fillings and they all turned out great! I never had any pain afterwards either. The staff is extremely nice and welcoming. I couldn’t have had a better experience at the dentist. I will be recommending her to anyone who asks for a dentist.

I’m shocked reading some negatives reviews below.. I’ve been to this office quite a few times for 2 regular cleanings, 1 deep cleaning, 8 large fillings (some were new but some were more than 10 years old and needed to be replaced), and a crown. Dr. Marquis is simply amazing! Everything feels and looks great! Talking about crowns, they have this unbelievable high tech machine that makes your crowns right there in the office in front of your eyes – very cool to watch 🙂 That’s being said, every single time I was satisfied with the service I received and everyone in the office was very pleasant and professional. I have another crown to finish and have my appointment already scheduled with no any hesitation.. I guess you cannot always please everyone, but still can’t believe someone actually had such negative experience with this office. Would absolutely recommend this place to all my friends! Btw, I don’t understand how they can “overcharge” as some reviews below suggest… if you have insurance, then the rates are all predetermined and they can not just charge whatever they like.  If you don’t have insurance, then every single dental office will charge you a higher rate than what it would be with insurance.

A really fantastic dental office. Dr. Marquis is really attend full with her patients making them feel very comfortable. She and her staff do a really amazing job – along with a great curtsy call the next day. 🙂 . She really goes the extra mile for her patients. The office is really amazing, parking is slightly an issue but once you get into her office the view of the bay-bridge is amazing! They try any and everything to make you feel comfortable.

I’m actually shocked to read any negative reviews.  I have seen both Drs. here, a number of hygienists, and have nothing but positive things to say.  The x-rays were not painful, nor were the fillings or the cleanings.  I’ve also greatly appreciated the advice they given in regards to suggested procedures and associated costs. I signed up for Yelp solely to lend my positive commentary to this discussion, as I’ve recommended many a colleague and have yet to hear any personal stories with the hint of negativity.

I have to write my positive review of Dr. Marquis’ office even through I have moved to another city. I loved Anna, my gentle hygienist, and my always-smiling male technician as well. The whole staff was very caring and my dental cleanings were extremely gentle. Dr. Marquis resolved my ongoing problem of sensitivity near my roots by adding small fillings along my gum line. I had very sensitive teeth because I had braces from ages 9-12 and over-brushed, so I have permanent erosion. I had no more painful sensitivity after that. She also made me a wonderful custom night guard so I don’t grind my teeth.

I have been going to SF Dental Office for over 9 years and it has always been the best dental experience…on every visit.  The staff is friendly and accommodating.  The experience is  very SF, views of the bay and sail boats while being at the dentist..is a relaxing way to be at the dentist. I literally have enjoyed each visit and have recommended SF Dental Office to several co-workers, friends and colleagues who have all thanked me for sending them.  Dr. Marquis is very pleasant and takes the time to answer questions.  She actually takes an interest in you. You don’t the feeling that you are being rushed out of the office.  Her staff is always kind, friendly, and professional. I will say I dislike going to the dentist but this is by far as good as it gets. Bonus: They play good music too.

I’ve been going to this office for five and a half years now and absolutely LOVE THEM, AND ALWAYS HAVE. I can’t imagine why a few people have given them bad reviews. My recommendation to you is don’t listen to them! This is the fabulous dentist’s office I’ve ever been to and I do not like dental work in any way shape or form, but I don’t mind coming here. I rave about how wonderful they are to all my friends and family and recommend that all of them go to San Francisco Dental Office.

Dentists and staff are very professional and personable.  The office is run very efficiently, and it was relatively easy to get an appointment.  Everyone seems to really know what they’re doing, and they keep things moving along.  I get the sense that I received high quality, personalized care.  The office is well-kept, and the views are terrific.  They’re a little pushy on various additional cosmetic treatments but that may be the norm these days.

This place is great! I have some major dental work ahead of me and was pretty scared to address all the issues, but Dr. Marquis was awesome!  She was extremely gentle, informative, and seriously  had my best interests (financial situation) at heart. She was able to squeeze me in for an exam and a serious patch up/filling that took 10 minutes and she did an A+ job. The rest of the staff is friendly, warm, funny, and very accommodating. Highly recommend checking them out!

I absolutely love this dental office and am shocked by the negative reviews posted here! I’ve been going to this dental office for almost 7 years now and recommend them to all my family and friends. I loooove this dentist and the whole staff!!!! I’m sorry if anyone has had billing problems, but in 7 years I’ve never had an issue. I suggest you give them a try.

I’ve been going to this office for years and the service delivered has always been top-notch.  In fact, I respect the dentists at this office more than any other office I’ve gone to. The doc’s tell me what I need versus what I want.  It has been and will always be my responsibility/choice to pursue the  recommended treatment or decide a different course.  When my choices have differed from what the doctor recommended (which has been rare), I have never been pressured or influenced to do anything against my will. Go figure…a dental office that works and acts with integrity.  I really can’t relate to any of the bad pub that some folks have yelp-ed about. When possible, I recommend this office to folks because I know with confidence they will receive quality work from a staff that trully cares about building a lifetime (dental) relationship. And, this my fellow yelp-ers is often difficult to find these days.

After checking out various dental offices within the community, I decided to have San Francisco Dental Office perform my dental work.  As a senior citizen, I wanted quality work at affordable prices.  I got that and more from San Francisco Dental Office.  I received a specific plan to guide me in making decisions and a cost breakdown with payment options.  I appreciated the staff’s pleasant, helpful and congenial attitude.  The dentist and hygienist were very professional.  It was a first -class dental office.  Because of my positive experiences, I will definitely refer my friends and family to San Francisco Dental Office.

I have been a patient of Dr. Marquis for 9 or so years and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her, the staff, and my experiences there. I used to work close by and began going (she was recommended by a colleague), plus it was close to my office. I left that job 4.5 years ago and I still go across the city for my checkups because I have always had such a wonderful experience there. Dr. Marquis is extremely well educated, has a wonderful bedside manner, and I cannot recommend her enough. The dental hygienists and the front staff are wonderful as well. I just went back today for my routine cleaning. I was a bit nervous being in a medical setting with COVID still being a risk. However, I cannot tell you how impressed I was by their thoughtfulness and care to create a very safe environment (I wish I had taken a photo). It was clearly so much more care than what I have seen at my doctors office or a trip to the ER that I had. If you are looking for a trustworthy, caring dentist who will take the time to get to know you, your dental history, and has an incredible amount of knowledge and education to give you great dental care, this is the place.

I’ve been coming here for a year now, and I keep recommending it to all my friends/coworkers.  It’s location is super convenient – it’s right in the financial district.  I love that all the chairs have a view of the Bay Bridge –beautiful and always makes it onto my IG story. I also love that they take photos of your teeth and show you the before and after. Dr. Marquis really does a great job of explaining the issue and then the treatment.  The staff is also very friendly and polite.  They are super empathetic if you are in pain. I also love their goody bags — they’re super cute bags that are reusable and they come with a toothbrush, mini toothpaste, and floss. Definitely love, will stay with them for a while!

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with Dr. Marquis and her staff. Most recently I had a dental emergency and her office squeezed me in the next day! Dr. Marquis presented me with all treatment options and I ultimately went with the best decision for me. There was complete transparency with pricing which was presented to me prior to treatment and it was one of the most comfortable dental experiences of my adult life. Tony, her assistant was absolutely wonderful. Dr. Marquis is one of the most humble, most knowledgeable and caring dentists I have ever encountered and makes the entire experience seamless and stress free.

Dr. Marquis has been my dentist and my husband’s dentist for over a decade no.  I’ve had my fair share of dentists and Dani is still my favorite.  The newest hygienist, Bianca, is also great.  They’ve always been 100% respectful to me.  They always explain the insurance company estimate and make sure I understand the bills. As for the bad reviews? I think some people just don’t like dentists and will never be happy.

For over 12 years Dr. Marquis has provided me with sound advice and exceptional care. She is a warm and caring person who takes the time to explain treatments options and provide her recommendations. I’ve never felt pressurized and have always felt that she has worked with me and my financial limitations to get my teeth into good health. There have been a few emergency situations where she has gone out of her way to come to my rescue –  over weekends, while on her vacation and at night. When she was unable to personally assist me, she has ensured that I’ve been quickly referred to other providers who could. She has a great team that reflects her professionalism and dedication. She keeps herself up-to-date with the latest technologies and treatments, being one of the first to be able to mill a porcelain crown onsite and fit it during a single visit. The cherry on the top has to be having your treatment with an uninterrupted view of the Bay Bridge and the Embarcadero. Stunning.

I was just talking to a friend on the phone who was telling me about her awful experiences with two dentists she had been referred to in the city.  It made me think I better write a review about Dr Marquis and her office.  I’ve been going to this practice for over 10 years and have never had a bad experience.  Ty, Carol and all of the staff are extremely pleasant and welcoming. Dr Marquis is always pleasant and professional.  Today I had my teeth cleaned and had a regular check up.  It  was not painful, did not make me bleed or cause any discomfort like one of the other reviewers wrote.  I was told my teeth were in excellent shape, which being British that’s a good thing.  They have never tried to up-sell to me and the pictures on the computer are clearly my teeth which have been x-rayed without issue. I am so shocked at some of these reviews here.  I would highly recommend this dental practice, Dr Marquis and all the staff.  I would under no circumstances continue to go to a dentist for over a decade that did not treat me well.

Dr. Marquis is an absolutely fantastic cosmetic dentist and just a wonderful and caring person all around! She is a talented perfectionist and I could tell after our first meeting that I could trust her wholeheartedly with my case. I was lucky to find her after a long search for my complicated dental implants, and I knew right away that I had found the right dentist. She was very detailed and thorough with our consultation about what exactly created the perfect smile and how we were going to achieve it step by step. The big day of the implants came and my experience was just so beyond wonderful! She took her time and created two beautiful temporary front teeth the day of the implant that stayed in for about two months. Those looked great, but the final set (ceramic) turned out so beautiful! I am so happy with my new teeth. I have a smile that I love! She and her team were awesome in managing my pain, and most importantly giving me the most beautiful teeth I could have. She knows how important a beautiful smile is to each one of us and her relentless effort to create that smile should be highly awarded. I don’t think any other dentist could have been this good or could have made me this happy. A big applause to her team! You can rest assured that she will take amazing care of your smile and make your happiness her priority!

I LOVE this dental office.. my husband and I have been going for 5 years now and they are very honest, thorough, and excellent! I have 100% confidence that the office is taking care of my teeth NOW to prevent future filling/cost to me later. I absolutely love Anna, one of the dental hygenist. She has a very warm demeanour and greets me as though we are dear friends. She remembers details about my life and always makes me feel very comfortable while cleaning my teeth. I cant imagine going to any other office and not having Anna! She’s a must!

I HIGHLY recommend Dentist Danny Marquis. I arrived at her office in 2008 with serious dentist anxiety from my prior dentist and his drilling without Novocain while working on a crown (very painful, I left his office white like a ghost and soaking wet in sweat).  I needed to get work re-done on that tooth and was terrified to go back to a dentist.  She took the time to hear my story & do everything possible to ease my nerves.  Shortly after my first visit to her I overcame my dentist anxiety (yay!) and have been a patient of hers ever since. Year after year I’ve had exceptional service there.  The staff is friendly, the office is beautiful and most importantly my teeth are well taken care of. Dr. Marquis is kind & genuinely cares about her patients.  I have received cards in the mail during major life events & even a text messages from her personally checking on my tooth over a holiday weekend.  She has graciously taken the time to explain my x-rays and what is going on with my teeth until I can fully understand. If you are looking for a skilled dentist who also legitimately cares about your oral health, Dr. Marquis is the dentist for you.  Oh, and the view from the office is amazing.

I rarely write reviews on Yelp because I figure others can say it better than I.  In this case, however, I was shocked to see the poor reviews Dr. Marquis and her office have gotten.  I’ve been going to this office for about 6 years and have always had a positive experience with everyone there.  I was referred to the office by a friend after becoming disenchanted with my previous dentist of 9 years.  Everyone has always been friendly and professional.  I’ve never been up-sold. In fact, they’ve always been very respectful about my desires to have x-rays done very infrequently.  My dental work has always been done well and with a minimum amount of discomfort.  I have recommended the office to many friends and will continue to do so.

I am continually impressed by how the staff and doc treat me during my visit.  If you set aside the nice vibe (eg..playing Buena Vista social music in the background), I was greeted with professionalism by everyone. While the hygienist cleaned my teeth, she listened to me about a complicated situation at work that I’m dealing with.  And, she didn’t attempt to solve it..which she was not qualified to do…instead, shared a personal experience that was related.  After thinking about her experience and re-evaluating my perspective, I was able to focus and find an alternate approach which thankfully worked. And, the doc is always on point with my dental needs.  I’ve never been sold on anything..ever!  In my opinion, she is overly protective of me and the cost of dental care…on occasion recommended against expensive elective procedures. In total….I think this dental office is great.

Still a happy patient five years later, still using Anna as my hygienist, still plenty confused about some of the experiences reported by others.  Bizarre.  Of course, most dentists fair poorly on Yelp, and the best explanation that I can come up with is that folks don’t like going to the dentist, and they often run into problems with their insurers that they attribute to the dentist. Not sure if I can help set expectations here, but the basic gist of it is that you’ll make an appointment, they’ll confirm it with you a couple days before by email, you’ll go, they’ll more or less be on time, they’ll clean your teeth, it won’t be all that fun, but they’ll take it damn seriously and make a point of recommending all of the things that you can do to improve your dental health, and then you’ll leave and return in 4-6 months.  Often times they’ll smile.  As far as billing goes, you’ll be billed exactly what your insurer doesn’t pay for.  If you don’t know what your insurer pays for, find out ahead of time and don’t take anyone’s word for it other than the insurer itself. Whew.  Seems pretty straightforward to me.

SF Dental office is great! I would happily recommend seeing Dr. Marquis to any of my friends and family. The office is in great condition, the front office staff is friendly and the hygienists are great! I have had 3 crowns put on by Dr. Marquis, a deep cleaning and a couple cavities filled in the time I have been going to her. She loves to educate, so she will show you exactly what is going on and recommend a great care plan for you.

I am not sure why I see all of these low ratings. I love this office and it’s staff! Dr. Marquis is the friendliest and nicest and well trained dentist I have ever had! She always takes me in no matter how busy her schedule is (I have a very sensitive bite and need it adjusted). I have had dental issues that she has always addressed right away. Her and her staff are extremely professional and kind. Every time I see Dr. Marquis she has left a message for me at the end of her busy day to make sure I am OK and that I do not have any persistent issues. i don’t know of any other Dr’s office that does that (after every visit). The office is CLEAN, state of the art equipment and the view is amazing. But aside from all of that, her office knows me. Yes, I have been in there a lot, but that isn’t her fault. Teeth are teeth, stuff happens. It can be caused by any number of things. What is important is that she is always willing to see me and genuinely cares about my well being. And if she can’t fix it she quickly recommends me to someone who can, and STILL follows up with me to make sure I am doing OK even though she did not treat me. I would recommend Dr. Marquis and have in a heart beat! Thank you San Francisco Dental office for the many years of great service!

I Have been coming here since 2004. I recommended a friend here and they alerted me of all the negative comments on here. I have had nothing but great experiences here. I have had to have major work done and It all turned out well. I always stick to what I know needs to be done. If something is hurting, I get it fixed, of course the Dr. will recommend treatment, that is her job, if you don’t want it done, or can’t afford it, don’t do it! Anyways, the staff and Dr. Marquis are extremely professional! They always give me reminder calls for my appointment and do great work. Dr. Marquis is thorough and patient in her explanations of her procedures and always explains alternative options for me. They are always up front with the cost and do a great job of explaining my insurance plan. My advice would be to fully understand your insurance plan, and just say “no” if you don’t want something done! Check this place out despite the bitter reviews, if nothing else, you gotta check out the VIEW!!
