PATIENT REVIEWS

Just finished a visit with a fantastic new dentist in downtown San Fra  ncisco – Dr. Maryam Tabar.  First of all let me say it’s really nice that someone finally gets it – for those of us who have to work during the week she’s open at no extra charge for appointments on Saturday. She is the only dentist working in the office and along with her assistant is doing all of the work – from the cleaning to the fillings.  She says that because of this she has a chance to know the conditions and needs of her patients teeth.  Second the office itself is brand new with all modern equipment: computerized records and forms, new special drills and cleaning stuff, the chairs even give you a massage.  Overall the office has a modern professional feeling and is decorated in a soothing colors that are subtly calming. I put going to the dentist on the list of fun things to do just under … well, let’s just say I don’t like it. With they’re sharp metallic instruments and screaming drills it usually feels like you’ve signed up to be the demonstration dummy for a class on S&M.  In contrast, Dr. Tabar was very gently.  She used a sonic scraper (I think that’s what it’s called) instead of the metal scraping and it was sooo much better.  She is also extremely through – carefully checking for everything from cavities and gum disease to oral cancer. I’m never going to like going to the dentist but I have at last found one I feel comfortable seeing.

Dr. Tabar is the best dentist that has ever cared for me. She is very clear about what you can expect. She is extremely skilled, and has produced incredible work on my difficult case. The work I needed was extensive and she spend the extra hours needed to do a fantastic job. I went through it all pain free thanks to the high quality equipment and injection techniques she uses. I’ll be going to her practice as long as I can, and will regret the day I ever have to go to another dentist! It’s worth the wait, she is a caring, thoughtful professional.

I had a good experience at the dentist office. The staff was warm and welcoming. When I first arrived, I was told to fill out some paperwork. The paperwork process took less than 10 minutes and everything was online. When it was time for my cleaning, I was greeted with dental hygienists who made conversations with me. The dentist, Dr. Tabar, was patient and spent a good chunk of time asking me if I had any questions/problems. I think this first visit took a little over an hour and a half. During the cleaning, I got to sit on a massage chair. It was a little bit distracting though, so I asked the hygienist if she could turn it off. I liked how the dentist hygienists told me about each equipment they were going to use and what I should expect. I will come back in 6 months!

Love this dentist and all the staff. Friendly, knowledgeable, and good at their jobs. Most importantly, they are trustworthy. I’ve always treated dentists the same as a mechanic for your car, when you find an honest one that does good work and you trust, you ride with them for life! After many consecutive bad experiences of dentists either flat out lying to me or trying to up sell me on services I actually didn’t need I came across DD. I’ve been happy ever since and my smile has never looked better. Give them a chance and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Tabar and her professional staff are hospitable, knowledgeable, and skilled at their craft. I truly appreciated that Dr. Tabar took her time to educate me about my teeth through the digital x-rays; make appropriate suggestions for future preventative and restorative procedures; and discuss how to maintain optimum oral hygiene. She was highly recommended by others for being professionally thorough, and in my opinion, she exceeded that bar through the initial examination process and care she and her staff provided for me today. I will highly recommend her to my friends and colleagues.

I’ve been going to Dr. Tabar for 9 years. She is always very communicative and honest. I appreciate when a doctor actually tells you what’s going on every step of the way. She always asks me about my personal life as we’ve had lots of conversations! Super nice to have a personable experience. I was anxious about going in during SIP, but she has gone above and beyond to ensure her patients and staff are safe. I was really impressed. HIGHLY recommend.

Digital Dental Practice has been my Dentist for the past two years. The location is very convenient to Bart, walk up the stairs and the building will be on the right hand side. If you work in the Financial District you can most definitely stop by 100 Montgomery for your Dental needs. The Practice is on the floor 3, then take the elevators on the left hand side. The Dentist is super sweet. She answers all of your questions and all of the staff work well together. The cleanings are done in a timely fashion, you are always in and out quickly. As you know working in the city, things can get hectic. But, it’s always reassuring that we can visit our Dentists and Doctors within a walking/ Uber ride away. Many of us commute and having great options for Dental care is always a plus. Thank for your meeting all of my expectations for all of my Dental needs.

I had a great experience with Dr. Tabar.  Her office is very clean and modern with an easy all digital sign-in, massage chair, and digital pictures of what was happening inside of my mouth on a screen right above the chair. She saw me same day, was on time, and was very helpful about the pain in my mouth.  Additionally, she gave good advice on my grinding and did a thorough exam of my mouth for habits that could lead to problems (cancer, jaw issues, pain) down the road. I have very sensitive teeth/gum lines and the cleaning she did was very thorough but gentile (unlike my last cleaning visit in NY where my hygienist had to numb my gumline and then I still needed to walk out in the middle of the cleaning). She called me 2 days later to make sure that my pain was gone and to follow up on a discussion we were having about a night mouth guard. Overall it was a very positive experience and I will not hesitate to return to Dr. Tabar.

I’ve been a customer for a couple years now. I went nervously following a 5 year break from going to dentists. Dental work has not suddenly become my favorite thing, but Dr. Tabar is awesome enough to make it tolerable. She is honest, goes out of her way to make sure you understand procedures, and is likeable and friendly without being over the top about it and seeming put on. I trust her to do the best work she can and only what is medically necessary. They do offer cosmetic services, but that isn’t something I’m interested in at this time, and they’ve never tried to upsell me or even mentioned anything cosmetic. I’ve had appointments start a few minutes late…but I’ve also gone in one less than a days notice and been treated immediately in emergency situations. I dont mind waiting knowing I will receive thorough and quality service. Great dentist.

This is an amazing dental office! The staff is incredibly kind and super helpful! They always answer all my questions and make me feel super welcome when I’m there. They also know I travel for work so they make a point to call me 3 – 6 weeks before my appointment so they can fit me in. They aren’t pushy and provide me with recommendations that are good for my teeth and health, not just to make a sale, which I truly appreciate. I’ve been going to them for a few years now and love that the chairs have massagers in them! I would recommend Digital Dental Practice to anyone new to the city, or who’s currently unhappy with their dentist. A+++.

I can’t recommend Dr. Tabar highly enough.  I went to her at the recommendation of my sister and iIm glad that I did. I’m someone who is a coward when it comes to going to the dentist and she and her staff are wonderful at making you feel relaxed and very comfortable with everything that they do.  She thoroughly explains everything and makes it easy to understand what’s going on and what her recommended treatment plan is for you. If you haven’t been to the dentist in awhile, or are afraid of going to the dentist, or your just looking for a great dentist, then Dr. Tabar is for you.

Dr. Tabar cares – I was having a very concerning dental problem over Christmas vacation.  I left a message at her office in the morning.  The office was closed as she was on vacation and out-of-town, but she returned my message within half an hour to connect with me and express the urgency of needing to see a specialist based on my symptom description over the phone.   Then, she proceeds to find and get me a same-day appointment with probably the only one open in the city (I know this because I made tons of calls to different practices, myself, to no avail). That’s 5-star service, if there ever was. Her office does some very thorough teeth cleaning, as well.

I hadn’t been to the dentist in about 3 years, so I knew it was long overdue, especially when my tooth chipped from a deep cavity that had formed. I was in a lot of pain and I couldn’t eat solid foods, so it was important that I saw someone ASAP. I did some research and read some Yelp reviews and landed on Dr. Tabar. Her whole office was extremely helpful in getting me an appointment, and helping me begin my journey to resolving the issues going on in my mouth – TMJ, cavities. Everyone in the office was extremely friendly. No one was judgmental apropos of the condition I was in. Dr. Tabar told me the exact steps I’d need to take to resolve my issues. And within 3 days, the cavity causing me pain was completely taken care of! The atmosphere at the office is very relaxing which is important to me, due to the fact that I’m terrified of dental visits. Needless to say, I am very happy with my experience with Dr. Tabar and her team and will be seeing her regularly. I’d recommend Digital Dental Practice to anyone!

Dr. Tabar is amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable and very kind. I feel like we’ve developed a friendship over the last couple of years, so I’m never afraid to go to the dentist anymore. Her dental hygienist staff are also very good. I had the easiest and most enjoyable teeth cleaning of my life today. There are massage dental chairs in this office… and Netflix on tv screens in every exam room. Super convenient location in the heart of FiDi. Can easily get a cleaning on lunch break or in and out in an hour sometime throughout the day.

Dr. Tabar is such a pro. Her staff is also amazing. I needed a new dentist after moving out to the Bay area earlier this year and found my way to Digital Dental based on the highly positive Yelp reviews. Finding a new dentist isn’t easy. Especially finding one that you really like. Visiting the dentist is usually a very dreaded experience for most, myself included. But Dr. Tabar is really great and makes you feel relaxed. From her extreme professionalism, her funny stories and genuine care for her patients, I truly am thankful I ended up finding her. I had a lot of work needing to be done and in a short amount of time b/c my insurance was ending as I moved from one job to the next. She was so accommodating, even for me as a new patient. She squeezed me into any free time she had and even stayed way past office hours to work on my root canal. I should note that my favorite part is the fact that she has flat screens set up above your head so that you can watch anything you’d like on Netflix while getting the work done on your mouth. It really does help distract from what’s going on.The office is extremely clean, lots of cutting edge technology and she always walks you through your x-rays in detail. I like knowing what I am paying for. No hidden surprises here.

The best dentist I’ve ever had! She really takes dentistry to a whole new level! Her appointments can fit any schedule and they are personalized. No waiting in long lines as she doesn’t do the double booking or stuff her office full of people. No issues with insurance either. The music is serene, the chair has a little massage function, and the towels smell of lavender. I actually had to have a rubber stopper put in my mouth because I kept dozing off through one of the procedures…lol! Her office is eco-friendly and she uses digital x-rays. I can’t imagine going to any other dentist. She’s all about prevention and will help you keep a great smile. A friend of mine told me that her dentist saw a weak spot on her tooth and told her to come back when there was a cavity to fill. I had the same problem and got a Rx for super flouridated toothpaste to prevent a cavity from forming. (Cheaper and better solution) She’s all about preserving your natural teeth as much as possible. Love it!

Dr. Tabar is the real deal. She helped me through my (unfortunate) Dentageddon of 2017 where my filling broke and I needed a root canal and crown (amongst countless fillings, doh). When she was fitting my crown, she didn’t like the crown they made from the mold of my tooth (it didn’t fit well), so she sent it back to be remade. She has always answered me honestly and truthfully so I will continue to go back to her in the future.

I literally have a phobia of dentists and was very nervous when I moved to SF and left my old dentist behind.  I cannot believe my luck that I found Dr Tabar, she is amazing!  I still have the phobia but I can manage to go and see her four times a year (for 4 years) and totally trust her.  She took the time to understand how I feel and was genuine in her interaction with me.  My teeth are 100% better since I have been going to her and she has managed to get me on a very strict hygiene ritual – nobody has managed that before!  I don’t feel she does things for money but rather what is best for you.  Her office is lovely and her staff great.  I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Dr. Tabar is the greatest dentist. She really cares about her patients and does her best to make sure you are as comfortable as possible throughout your appointment. I love the massage chairs as well as the goody bag and warm lavender towel I get when leaving my appointment. The extra precautions she put in place for COVID-19 made me feel really safe. Highly recommend Dr. Tabar to anyone and everyone, she keeps it real.

My wife and I have now both gone to see a relatively new dentist in downtown SF – Dr. Maryam Tabar – and it was actually positive experience. She is the most gentle dentist I have ever had. It’s really nice for those of us who have to work during the week she’s open for appointments on Saturday. She’s the only dentist in the office and along with her assistant is doing ALL of the work even the cleaning. The office itself is brand new with all modern equipment: computerized records and forms, new special drills and cleaning stuff, the chairs even give you a massage. Overall the office has a modern professional feeling. Dr. Tabar is extremely thorough – carefully checking for everything from cavities and gum disease to oral cancer. My wife has had a couple filling done.  She has problems holding her jaw oper for long periods but Dr. Tabar has been very accomodating.  I’m never going to like going to the dentist but I have at last found one I feel comfortable seeing.

Been going here for 3 years, and am very satisfied. Some pluses: * Dr. Tabar will never try to sell you don’t need – she prioritizes you above just making a killing. * Nice touches all around; e.g. they’ll give you a warm towel for your face after a cleaning * Prices are always reasonable and predictable * They give sound advice * Staff all good at making conversation /putting you at ease.

Dr. Tabar has been my dentist for three years, and I couldn’t be happier. Every time I need to come in, her team attends to my teeth with care and a smile. The office is clean and modern. They have massage rollers in the dental chairs and televisions monitors hanging overhead. Imagine having your teeth whitened while watching a makeover unfold on Netflix’s “Queer Eye.” I’ve done it. It’s wonderful. I appreciate that Dr. Tabar is honest with me about my dental needs. When I chipped a tooth last year and planned to have it filled, she told me flat out it wouldn’t be worth the money (The type of filling I required would pop out every six months or so, and was not covered by my dental insurance.) She could have made a lot more money on my mouth, but she had my best interests at the top of her mind. The only downside is that her office is usually running about 20 minutes behind on appointments. You can call ahead to see how the wait is. I’ve referred friends and my husband to Digital Dentist Practice. They won’t be the last! Thanks for everything, Dr. Tabar.

I had an extraordinarily positive experience this morning with Dr. Tabar and her staff. I haven’t been to the dentist since college and had had less than positive dental experiences in the past, but they walked me through every step of the appointment warmly and professionally. The actual procedures were, well, they were dental procedures, but they were far more quick and painless than I remember them being in the past. Dental Hygienist Linda did an excellent and pain-free job on my undoubtedly challenging chompers. Glad I chose Dr. Tabar’s office and I will be returning here in the future.

Universal Top Needs in a Dentist: (1) Type A for cleanliness (2) Honest and Not Pressuring (3) Uses Modern equipment (4) Green Business Commitment (5) A Nice Person. If you feel the same way – Dr. Tabar is for you! I was referred to Dr. Tabar by a close friend and have never looked elsewhere since. Prior to going to Dr. Tabar the dentist was always a painful experience that involved a lot of pressure from the orthodontist for me to get braces (my teeth are not perfectly straight). I love my teeth crooked and all so this was always a challenge to impart on other Dr.’s. I went in concerned about a chip in one of my teeth and an overall need to access the current state of my teeth since it had been (ahem) many years since I had been to the dentist. Dr. Tabar was more thorough in her examination than ANY other dentist that I have ever been to. She clearly takes pride in her craft and my teeth are ever grateful to her for it. She did NOT pressure me into getting braces or invisalign, she didn’t shame me for my lack of flossing (I am getting better though) and to top it off she said the chip in my tooth I was concerned about was nothing to worry about! Each appointment she always inspects it to make sure. If that wasn’t enough, her assistant Marvella is so gentle when she assists, her sweet and friendly nature makes the process overall a pleasant experience. I look forward to seeing them both every 6 months, crazy, I know!

I don’t like anyone poking around in my mouth with sharp implements, likely directly related to having extensive (and likely elective) oral surgery foisted upon me by my image-conscious parents when I was a kid.  Then there was multiple lip surgeries due to an accident. I’ve had nice enough dentists in the past, but I usually leave their offices with fingernail marks in my palms.  I refused to go back to the last dentist after it was clear that their staff kept notes based on the chit-chat between patient and hygienists, and used these notes so that any one of their hygienists could pick up the discussion where they last left off.  Too creepy. After avoiding dentists for a few years, there came a day when I could no longer put off needing to replace a crown.  I found Dr. Tabar after doing a search for SF dentists that used digital x-rays.  Her website reflected a commitment to sustainability and respecting the patient, so I went with her even though she was new on the scene.  I realize it is a bit cliche, but her dental practice is THE BEST I’ve encountered so far.  Dr. Tabar is sincere and gentle.  She says “Please open wider” (rather than the standard “Open” or “Wider.”  She regularly checks in with me during appointments to see how I’m doing and doesn’t make me feel bad for needing to “take a break.”  I don’t get any flack about not wanting fluoride (in my toothpaste or polish, although she offers it and my partner, who also sees her now, gladly uses it) and I don’t have to remind her not to use the fluoride polish.  Not once have I been charged more than what I was quoted in advance.  And last, but surely not least, I can’t forget the  MASSAGE CHAIR!  When I get stressed about an upcoming appointment, I focus on the massaging exam chair that awaits, and I find the extra resolve to show up. In conclusion, let me say that there was nothing a dentist could do or say to get me to floss regularly, until Dr. Tabar showed me digital pics she took of my teeth.  She doesn’t judge, she encourages and let’s the facts speak for themselves.  She’s gives you your options straight up when you have a problem tooth, so you can make a smart decision together.  No, I still don’t like getting dental work done, but Dr. Tabar’s practice makes it tolerable enough that I actually go for my twice a year cleanings.

I highly recommend Dr. Tabar as an ethical and caring doctor, who will explain pros/ cons clearly, encourage you to take care of your teeth/alignment, and only fill cavities that truly need it vs drilling unnecessarily. I was referred to Dr. Tabar by a coworker and am very happy with my experience so far. The office is super clean and I felt comfortable even during COVID — they were wiping down all pens, chairs, wearing PPE, filtering the air in each room and through the ventilation system, etc. Dr. Tabar is personable, caring, and honest. I have had past dentists who are “drill happy” and would find and fill many tiny cavities that didn’t necessarily need it. Dr. Tabar is very conservative about fillings and I haven’t needed one in the 2 years I’ve seen her. I am also grateful that she gently yet firmly pushed me to get orthodontics for some back teeth that were terribly misaligned. Now halfway through Invisalign and happy about it.

I have been seeing Dr. Tabar for about two years and have had nothing but positive experiences (it always helps getting a clean bill of health too ;))! Dr. Tabar’s dental assistant, Marvella, is awesome as well – both women are very kind and easy to talk to and make the experience relaxed and pleasant. This office is very conveniently located in the FiDi and I have recommended several of my coworkers, given its proximity to our building and the excellent care I’ve been provided. To address the upselling comments in a couple reviews: Dr. Tabar suggested Invisalign to me in the past, and upon asking for an explanation as to why, it was not “cosmetic” but rather for health reasons, which she explained to me in detail using models and images. I have not bit the bullet yet as it is quite $$$ (but still on my radar!), but I definitely got the impression that Dr. Tabar was coming from a position of patient care first and foremost, rather than sales. Thanks for the great experiences, Dr. Tabar & Marvella – loyal patient right hurrrr.

Dr. Tabar and her team are great.  Krysta at the front desk did me a solid by bugging my lazy insurance company to divulge what they actually cover for orthodontia and always friendly and helpful on the phone. The dental hygienists (there’s a few) are gentle with implements and the feelings of a nervous dental patient which I greatly appreciate. Dr. Tabar is a sweetheart, very nice and very thorough.  She listens carefully and is happy to explain in detail the differences in procedures, what is a good choice for your teeth and wallet (short-term and long-term value), and is also very gentle. I highly recommend as someone who has sat in the chair of dentists and orthodontists for too many hours (genetically bad teeth what can I say).

Front desk is super nice, they explain their policies clearly and my first appointment was pretty straightforward. Dental staff are pretty nice as well. The dental hygienist/ technicians do cleanings, which surprised me a bit, as the dentist has traditionally done my cleanings before. But they did a good job. I had a cavity that needed filled, which went fine as well. Novocaine injections always skeeve me out a bit when I go to a new dentist, but Dr Tabar is pretty good with the injections. The actual filling procedure was relatively painless. They also have monitors to play Netflix for patients during longer procedures which is nice, though I found I wasn’t focusing very much on it anyway, haha. Massage chairs are a nice bonus, too!

Professional, efficient (it really is Digital), friendly and honest, DDP impresses me as well-managed practice with excellent staff that I recommend to anyone. Having not visited a dentist in several years, I called up DDP as a new client and got the first available appointment three weeks out. Upon arrival to their cozy third floor Financial District suite, I was promptly greeted by the receptionist and led to a computer where I typed and digitally signed my new client paperwork within five minutes. Before I could select a waiting room magazine, a friendly assistant led me to my patient chair equipped with adjustable electronic back massage and Netflix, quite Digital indeed. Being the discerning (i.e. annoying) customer I am, I elected out of receiving their recommended X-rays, which thereby makes it impossible for the doctor to fully examine my inner teeth and bone. Despite my stubborn refusal to follow their advised treatment, they politely explained the requisite risks, then obliged by letting me sign a waiver. DDP didn’t act overly pushy to up-sell their services like some other dentists do, they seemed honest and trustworthy. The hygienist who proceeded cleaning my neglected teeth was very gentle, not once did I wince from an unexpected prod or poke. Dr. Tabar examined me to her best ability without having my X-rays, she confirmed I had no visual cavities or other oral ailments, then recommended scheduling a checkup in three to six months at which I might consider getting X-rays 🙂 A satisfaction survey was emailed to me after my visit, so Digital.

Visiting Dr. Tabar is always a pretty pleasant experience, which is a great find in the world of searching for a dentist. Digital Dental was recommended to me by two colleagues. They cited the comfy chairs, Netflix, and pleasant experience with Dr. Tabar and assistant. I’ve found that I also really appreciate the thorough teeth cleaning, the honest (I need to floss more, big surprise) approach, and the lack of “upsell” from the team. I’ve asked them questions regarding conversations I’ve had with my parents’ dentist whom I trusted a lot and they always seem to be on the same page regarding my teeth. I’ll be sticking with the Digital Dental Practice for the foreseeable future.

This is a review out of the blue. Last time I saw her was at least 2 months ago. In general I have never liked dentists. Just never. Till I met Dr. Tabar. Dr. Tabar is super awesome! I have been with her for close to 2 years now. She earned my trust over the 4 bi-annual visits I have done with her. I have had fair amount of work done by her, and have seen great improvement in last 2 years that I have been with her. She has suggested me few things which some might consider as sales pitch, but I have never felt coerced to do anything I wasn’t comfortable with. Indeed she was willing to wait if I didn’t want to undergo a minor procedure unless I was sure that I needed it. She is through with her work and very professional overall.

Some people hate going to the dentist. Not me. I love going to the dentist. And I’m really not picky about who I see, either. Which makes it surprising, then, that I’d cut all the way across town (forgoing dozens of dentistries closer to work/home) for an appointment at Digital Dentist Practice. Why? Because Dr. Tabar and her staff are the best. I look forward to every appointment–not just because I like squeaky-clean teeth, but because they’re great people. If you dread dental work, they’ll put you at ease. If dental work is NBD and dentists are typically interchangeable for you, DDP will still win you over.

I am going to start by saying that I really dislike going to the dentist. Dr. Tabar makes it as pleasant as can be. She is very personable, is very upfront, gives great advice. I have been going there for years. She also works with a very great root canal specialist who is a nice as she is. Last time I needed one,  it was an emergency because I was leaving for Europe for 3 weeks. She was going out of town for a conference and offered to modify her departure to accommodate my needs!!! I highly recommend her and I have actually sent coworkers to her as her office is across from our building.

From start to finish, the experience for both my wife and I was superb. The ladies from the front desk, to x ray tech, to hygienist, and finally the Dentist are all very kind, warm, and thorough in their explanation of procedures, and having their info prepared. I had come from a previous dental experience where there was always some confusion about my billing, insurance, etc… this office had everything prepared right from the start. Additionally, my hygienist was very gentle and the experience was quite relaxing.  The music they play may have helped.  The Dentist was great in giving me an overall status on my current dental health and even suggested a future plan. Great experience, and I am happy to have finally found a great Dental Office for my family.
