DENTAL STUDIO SF
Jarrod Cornehl, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

Dr. Cornehl and ALL of his staff are the best. They are the only dentist I’ve had since I moved to SF 8 years ago, and I will never switch. The office is super nice, with beautiful views. Their systems for booking, reminders, and keeping your records up to date are efficient. Every hygienist I have had has been really great and done an excellent job, and I see the same ones frequently which is great. They’ve replaced a few fillings for me, and that all went well. Although they like to keep me on top of any issues, they don’t pressure me into anything that can be put off if I want to wait for practical reasons. Their receptionist Lisa is awesome, she always remembers me and is extremely gracious in helping me with any scheduling adjustments, payments etc. Highly recommended.

Get your pearly whites cleaned! The office is located in the heart of Union Square (people watching while getting a check up is AWESOME).  A tad bit hidden, next to Nine West (you can go shopping after your cleaning!)… an upscale, posh dental office WITH TVs to help patients past the time while getting a routine check up!  I personally watched Glee when I got my teeth cleaned by the one and only Laura. Note: a slight bias towards Laura. We were classmates (sort of) in college. I was often the guinea pig in college when my roommate was getting her degree and becoming a R.D.H – so having known Laura beforehand, I knew I was (would be) in good hands! Dr. Cornehl’s pretty awesome too.  He’s incredibly down to earth and treats his patients as more than just ‘another appointment’.   Sometimes I feel like I need to get dressed up just go to see the dentist, as I felt slightly underdressed for my last check up.

I used to like the dentist when I was little.  You could count on getting that bright green dinosaur toothbrush if you were a good boy and didnt have any cavities.  Well, came college, and then came my first cavity, and after then I never really liked the dentist anymore.  It has become a chore that I dread twice a year to use up my insurance. Thankfully this has all changed.  Now that I have Jarrod as my dentist, I think I can ALMOST look forward to going to see the dentist as much as I look forward to seeing my hairstylist.  The office at 260 Stockton is amazing.  It is so efficiently ran (the paperless feature is a BIG selling point) and the assistants and other staff are a delight.  And no fear about the cost of the office going into your co-pay.  As long as you have full insurance, you still dont pay a dime for basic cleaning.  And he even sells new Oral B top of the line electric toothbrushes at cost.  Saved $50 from retail price by getting it through him.  A very nice service for a dentist to offer. Scheduling an appointment is also very easy.  This is the first dentist that allows me to work by email.  I used to hate the dreaded phone tag with my old dentist.  And Carmen, the main office assistant is so awesome.   Dr. Cornehl is really so professional and knowledgeable that you will feel confident every minute he is working on your mouth.  He is realistic about some of the bad habits people have regarding the dreaded flossing, but he makes you WANT to be A+ in dental hygiene.  After my visit with him I was excited to go home and floss just so I would be able to impress him at the next visit. He is good at giving a thorough explanation and even throwing in those fun dental school terms to impress you!   All around my experience with the office of Dr. Cornehl was top notch! I am so soo happy to have found a great dentist in the city!!

Another fabulous Yelp find. Dr. Corhnel, his office, and his staff are worthy of every single star. Unlike most sterile, clinical dentist digs, Dr. Corhnel’s space is beautifully decorated, modern but sparse; allaying the subtle anxiety I usually feel when visiting the dentist. The equipment is ultra modern and state-of-the art (from the digital “paperwork” processing,  x-ray machines, and general methodology), designed with optimum thoroughness and comfort in mind. I’ve never had such a pleasant experience having such unpleasant things being done to my mouth before. I also love that prior to your appointment, they’ll calculate for you exactly how much your insurance will cover and what your paid responsibility will be, rather than having it be a surprise after the fact. Dr. Cornehl himself has an amazing bedside manner. He’s calm, gentle, explains what he’s doing and why, and extremely professional. He had many opportunites to “sell” me needless procedures/products, but never once tried to. His staff is also friendly and open, contributing to the overall positive experience. After experiencing a dentist of his caliber, I absolutely would never consider any less.

I found Dr. Cornehl by doing a web search for dentists who were in my plan.  I found his website and thought it was an inviting environment.  Also, the pictures of him and his staff were great.  I liked the fact that it was a personal approach to dentistry.  These helped me make the phone call. My entire experience from initial phone call to appointment was great.  The office is beautiful, and the equipment is amazing.  I loved the fact that everything was computerized (even the forms you fill out are an a PC tablet).  I felt like the entire concept put the patient at the center.  I loved my experience and would recommend Dr. Cornehl to ANYONE!!!!

I really like Dr. Cornehl and his staff. When I found them, I had high expectations because I had been visiting my family’s dentist for 26 years and I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to find someone as good as my old dentist. Dr. Cornehl and team very pleasantly surprised me and now I am vey happy to be their patient. I’m particularly fond of the following items – Their staff is all top notch in expertise, very friendly, and very efficient. This includes all persons in the office (Dr. Cornehl, Front Desk, Assistants, etc..) – Their scheduling & billing system (and reminders) are impressive. I get emails with click to confirm buttons, or with reminders, and billing info. It feels very high-tech, is very easy, and is very convenient – The office is up-to date and very high-tech – The location is very nice, right in Union Square – After about 3-4 years of visiting, I can say that they have met my high expectations for a dentist and even surpassed them Great work Dr. Cornehl and team!

Never have had a better dental experience. From the front desk (Carmen) to the techs (Maria & the lovely ladies who clean my teeth) to Dr. Cornehl himself. I have always been fearful of going to the dentist and for the first time EVER I’m comfortable and confident when I have an appointment with Dr. Cornehl. Dr. Cornehl’s chair side manner is impeccable. My husband & I began going to Dr. Cornehl when we lived in the city. We now live in the peninsula (San Carlos) and I’m more than happy to  endure the commute in order to stay with Dr. Cornehl and staff. Noting but positive feedback!

I was recommended to Dr. Cornehl’s office by many of my co-workers when I moved here and have had a great experience every time. Very personable, helpful, and surprisingly comfortable for a dentist’s office and staff. The view overlooking the palm trees of Union Square as you have your teeth cleaned is pretty hard to beat. Everything highly recommended. The email and text reminders before each appointment are very helpful too – more communication from a provider is always better, and I find this a very useful service which I had not seen before from a dentist or doctor. I would say the only minor drawback (which my friends have mentioned as well) is you get sold pretty hard on some very expensive ($100+) electric toothbrushes and other items with little evidence that these are worth the investment (over a manual or even a less expensive $20 electric). I 100% trust their professional judgment (which is the #1 important thing in any medical/dental provider) but I find it hard to believe that a $100 toothbrush is that much better than the free or cheaper alternatives. If this is truly the case I’d like to see studies to back it up before I am asked to spend that much. That said, any investment in prevention would pay back tenfold (money, time, and emotion) when compared to treatment, so I have an open mind. For me that is truly the only drawback (very minor) and I only mention it so that it is a fully honest review. Other than that everything has been perfect – definitely 5 stars.

I usually wait a couple of visits before writing a review for any medical/dental office, to make sure my great experience wasn’t just a one time fluke thing. I have been visiting Dr. Cornehl for the last year and half, and every visit has been great: Friendly front office staff, will send you an electronic reminder prior to your visit to confirm. No issues with billing or insurance (unlike some of the other reviewers here, who appear to have not checked their coverage before going in for a visit) Great dental hygenists who know what they are doing (i.e. don’t rip your mouth to shreds during the cleaning process, unlike some of the others dentist offices I have visited) Dr. Cornehl always takes the time to make sure everything is in order, and will explain in detail any issues to look out for without pushing any un-necessary procedures. He also knows his craft – the one time I did need an old filling replaced because it was cracking, it was a no fuss procedure, with no pain Also it is a small thing, but you do get to veg out and watch hulu while they scrape away at the insides of your mouth, which makes the visit fly by.
