★★★★★

Check-in was easy and simple. I showed up really early for my appointment but after signing in and filling out the medical survey I was seen within 10 minutes. Patty was so friendly, conversational, and funny while taking my x-rays. Veronika, dentist, was very down to earth and friendly as well. When discussing my x-rays her bedside manner was terrific and factual. No pressure or shaming about my dental health. She laid out several future appointments that will address all my dental needs and beyond, revisiting a root canal that was done several years ago. Bill, dental hygienist, was very knowledgeable and friendly while doing the cleaning. He had great information about hygiene, tartar build up, and how to prevent it. I don’t recall the receptionist name but he as well was very friendly and helpful scheduling a couple future appointments. I have already recommended Veronika to friends.

This team makes you love going to the dentist…it’s remarkable. Dr. Stef, Michael, Pam and Amber are all incredible! Michael makes the teeth cleanings a breeze and fun – great conversation, very kind, thorough and knowledgeable. He gives great advice and knows what needs to be done to keep your teeth in great condition. Dr. Stef is amazing – she is kind, smart, to the point and makes all the procedures I’ve had so far absolutely painless. How she manages to inject the anesthesia without me feeling it is beyond me. Recently had some cavities filled and my wisdom tooth pulled, and I’m writing this a day later with NO pain. Pam is so nice, easy to talk to and explains what is going to happen. Makes all the difference! Amber is super fast, thorough and very friendly – always a joy to come in. I fully trust everyone at this office and it’s always great to see them after a few months!

Been going to Dr. Stef since she started her practice here in SF. I can’t say enough great things about the personal attention of her staff, the flexibility during COVID to adjust appointments based on my needs and the professional treatment. She managed my Invisalign treatment and I couldn’t be happier with my smile. Now that I will have another year of zoom meetings at least, I’m so thankful I took the time to invest in my teeth. It was on time and on budget!

I always look forward to seeing everyones friendly faces and Veronica has made sure my dental care is in complete order i am very particular about my teeth since i cant get my hair done (I’m bald lol ) teeth cleaning is my vice so I would not trust another dental office EVER.

Dr. Stef, Michael, Pam and Amber are a fantastic team and make going to the dentist a painless and — dare I say it — an enjoyable experience.  I’ve been going to the practice for nearly 20 years and was worried when Dr. Vazquez departed but my concerns were unfounded. I agree with all the previous comments about their high level of proficiency and professionalism.  I recently moved out SF but will gladly make the drive back into the city to continue enjoying their superior care!

First time going into this dental office and was beyond nervous because I knew I had to have a tooth pulled. Just entering the office let me know this was a nice place. I was taken care of well and made sure I was completely numb during the procedure. Couldn’t have been happier and would definitely recommend this dental office for the great front office desk staff to welcome you and make sure your on your way afterward to a better day. Sincere thank you for a great experience!

★★★★★

The office is very nice, very well organized and clean. It was very easy to schedule my appointment with them, communication was perfect. There is a very nice view even from the chair ;). The dental assistant Pamela and the dentist doctor Stef were super friendly and super efficient, they explained to me everything and gave information about my teeth status. I will definitely go back and I highly recommend the place.

★★★★★

Dr. Stefka is amazing–I had been putting off 3 fillings but when I finally went in I had a great experience. For many people (myself included) getting dental work is hard but my stress goes way down knowing I am in such capable hands. After the fillings were place, she worked with me to insure the bite was just right. Thank you!

Dr Stef, Michael, Pam, and Amber are excellent! I’ve been going to this practice since shortly after moving to SF 5 years ago or so. Dr Stef took over relatively recently but I can’t really pinpoint the exact date. Dr Stef is extremely polite, professional, and responsive. She extensively explains things when questions are raised. During the Covid Coronation I found myself with sharp random pain in my mouth. I contacted the practice and Dr Stef called me the same day to help walk me through some questions to identify it and then figure out how soon it needed to be treated. This was all on a weekend off hours. She helped me identify it as likely cavities, and got me scheduled for the Monday to come in and take care of business, also offering to move things up with a phone call if things got worse before then. The entire staff was ready to go when I arrived for my appointment and were very welcoming. They did a quick exam, identified the (3)! cavities, and asked me what I wanted to do (fill immediately or wait). I opted for the fill immediately route to avoid any more spontaneous pain. Amber at the front desk had the billing information and insurance estimates ready to go before I could even get over to the desk so I knew what it would cost for the fillings. I accepted and Dr Stef and Pam went to work on me quickly filling three cavities all clustered together. Like magic I could eat again without wincing in fear of when the pain would strike. As an aside, everyone in this office seems to be expert level at injecting novocaine with almost no pain. Relative to my other experiences at dental offices, the shots feels like a butterfly landing on a flower and there’s been no pain during the fillings or work after. Beyond emergency work, I’ve had the pleasure of regular cleanings from both Michael and Pam which feel thorough and they keep me entertained the whole time with great conversation as well as proactive information to improve my home hygiene. They send you plenty of reminders about your appointments which is great too. Michael recently performed the first half of deep cleaning (root planing and scaling) on me and made all my anxiety melt away. He kept to the tradition of painless novocaine injections and was very considerate making sure I was numbed appropriately as he worked my gums into a healthy submissive state throughout the procedure, explaining everything that was going on calmly before it happened and talked me through all the possible after effects and how to mitigate any pain after as well. I’ve had most of my cleanings at this practice with Michael and he does an excellent job and I always feel great after. When ever anyone in my office asks where to go for dental care, I can’t recommend this practice enough because of all the above. They knock it out of the park every time, so give them a shot if you are considering one of the many offices in the area. You can’t do much better than them.

Great office located directly in downtown SF. This is a great place to go take care of your teeth. Everything was on time! The team was very professional examining and providing with solutions by priority. Dr. Stef took care of my main concern- Invisalign. The best dental care I have ever experienced! Professional, courteous, and friendly staff. Always I have a great, smooth experience here.
Thank you so much.

Great place – Professional service. Competent staff. Awesome atmosphere. These folks are accommodating with schedule changes and are very organized. There is prompt follow-up if further treatment is needed and there are good reminders prior to appointments. The facilities are awesome – and they have a nice view. Oh, and they play good music. I love my dentist!

My dentist of 49 years retired and I was fortunate to have a referral to Ms Petrova. The office staff were great to work with, in a very organized and comfortable setting. I am very satisfied with the entire experience, and will be referring my wife.

I was about to leave this office because of negative experience with the assistant doctor who worked under the previous owner of the practice. But things changed! I absolutely love how Dr. Stef has turned things around. Both her and her qualified staff take great care of me and my teeth. They all offer helpful advice and are willing to help me out with everything. So happy to have Dr. Stef taking care of me!
