Dr Malouf - RIP - was a wonderful dentist and so was his hygienist Rachel. I have never had a more thorough cleaning. I wish I knew where she practices now! Does anyone know? read more

I've been going to Dr. Malouf for more than 20 years. He's the most knowledgeable, considerate, careful and meticulous dentist I've ever known. And, his staff; all of them are terrific! I've never known Connie, his office manager to make a mistake. If you're looking for the best general dentist in the Bay Area, Alan Malouf is the dentist you should see. He's also one of the most interesting persons I've ever met. Great conversationalist and an outstanding dentist! What more can you ask! read more

Dr. Malouf was so amazing and honest. The teeth cleaning was the most thorough I have ever had and they accepted insurance. I miss him a lot. read more

Doc Malouf is awesome. He's very careful, professional, and charismatic. He will keep checking in with you throughout the entire procedure to make sure you're not experiencing discomfort. Best of all: YOU WON'T FEEL A THING. Really, that's the one thing that counts. He's highly regarded in his field and is often pictured in the Nob Hill Gazette. I don't know what the relevance of that last observation is, but I thought it necessary. I guess I like to know that my dentist has a life. read more

Im with every other 5 Star compliment written here. I was a procrastinator and had been, so I thought, tramatized by prior dentists, and Dr Malouf and his GREAT staff have put me at ease and I absolutely LOVE going to see him. My first visit I thought I'd get a manny peddy along with it. The office was so kind to me and I just cant say anything bad and cant say enough good.. Go Go Go to them.. Scot read more

I've been seeing Dr. Malouf (on the recommendation of a friend) for close to five years. He is smart, funny and makes you feel comfortable. I have a few spots with receding gum activity (fun!) and he and his dental hygienists are always very careful and attentive. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Apparently, he also do great cosmetic work too but I haven't had that service. read more

Not only the best dentist I have ever been to but the best medical professional I have ever dealt with. Caring, warm, thorough. He has helped me through gum problems, bad root canals and implant issues. I cannot tell you what shape my teeth would be in now if I had not stumbled upon his office. His referrals for other work are always dead on too. Connie also rocks!! read more

I do love me my Dr. Malouf. He saved my gums and is now in the process of saving my teeth -- and making them mighty purdy in the process I waited 10 years to see a dentist, so let's just say my mouth was a mess by the time I staggered into Alan Malouf's Sutter St. office. Yet he didn't cringe or scold or scream when I opened my maw. He just got to work, did his thang, and then referred me to a great lineup of specialists to assist in resurrecting my teeth. The man is just a gem: hip and handsome but not intimidating; at the top of his game but sans attitude. His staff are welcoming and kind, and always greet you with a smile. I'm totally besotted with Rachel, the dental hygenist who does my twice-yearly deep cleaning. She manages to be both meticulous and hilarious, and injects a certain joie de vivre into the scraping process. Great dental office. Good times. Fear my born-again teeth. read more

I agree with most of the comments posted. Staff always nice and professional. Dr. Malouf was my dentist for at least 10 years and I believe he does a fine job. A warning: As he is always busy, he neglected to check me over when I came in for cleanings 3-4 a year. As a result, I lost a 5 -tooth permanent bridge that he had made competently. Decay underneath. He apologized. I had to have another dentist "saw" it in half and extract each part. This led to finding a new dentist and trying to salvage what was left. As a result, more teeth just falling out and 2 partials being made. His bridge did last a long time, but could have lasted longer. He never offered any restitution for his neglect, just the apology. I am a senior living on a very small income. With all that said, he is worth a try but make sure he sees you when you're in for other appointments. read more

I've been a patient of Dr Malouf for I think nearly 20 years now and this review is long overdue. He is an amazing dentist who tells me the straight scoop and I trust his judgement completely. He's done several fillings for me (porcelain typically) that have lasted well beyond their intended lifetime and he does amazing work. Rachel there has been my hygienist for the whole time; she puts a smile on my face and has kept it clean for a long time! I also have to call out Connie at the front desk who has always been available, kind, helpful and efficient. In short, if you are looking for a dentist who can do everything from restorative to cosmetic work, you cannot do better than Dr Malouf. read more

Dr. Malouf is great--very knowledgable, kind, understanding, and a good listener. I came to him with a tooth that needed to be crowned (fractured it many years ago), and his first instict was to have my root checked. Although I didn't want to pay for it, I went throught with it and sure enough! I needed a root canal! Good thing I got that out of the way before putting on a crown! I am thankful that he knows his stuff because the last dentist I saw told me that my root was fine (after just looking at the x-rays) and was about to put a veneer on the tooth (another story in itself...which you can find under Dr. Son McIntyre's yelp page). I have dropped by Dr. Malouf's office multiple times over the course of only one week to talk to them about scheduling, payments/payment plans, procedures, etc. and they are always so nice, never annoyed. Connie is so helpful and understanding! More review to come after Dr. Malouf puts a post in the front tooth I just had a root canal on (normal procedure for a front tooth). Oh btw--the standard procedure is to put a crown on a tooth following a root canal. But if you can't afford a crown in the same year as a root canal (my insurance starts over in January) you can wait up to like 6 months to have it crowned! Dr. Malouf was the one to recommend this to me and save me $1000 this year! Thanks!! read more

The best experience possible in a dental office! Why? His staff has been with him for many years. He treats them well! It shows. Doctor Malouf is kind and obsessed about good dental hygiene! He is very competent with all procedures. He corrected a crown that was done very badly by another dentist and I left his office pain free. The dental hygienists are also competent and wonderful. They too have been with the doctor a long time. Please take your medical care seriously, people. There are some bad doctors that practice medicine. I trust this doctor and I trust his staff. I have been going to them for over 10 years and send my staff to him as well. Take care cause you CAN! read more

I visited Dr. Alan Malouf dental practice about a year ago in late December 2011. I was visiting family in San Rosa and had problems with a recent crown I had done in October with a dentist in my home town of Carlsbad,CA. The office is located on Sutter Street in SF, well-appointed designed space that allow you to experience comfort from the time you walk in the door. Dr. Malouf dental practice was nothing short of professionalism done with extreme detail. His office staff moves seamlessly with attention to every element of my visit with care and professionalism that put all my dental concerns at ease. Dr. Malouf is extremely knowledgeable about cosmetic dental work and was able to determine the problem area of my crown. It turned out the my dentist in Carlsbad overlooked the x-ray and the need for a root canal on the tooth before placing the crown on. I look forward to revisiting his practice this year and making Dr. Malouf my only dentist I see. I would highly recommend his practice for anyone who in the San Francisco area. A dentist like Dr. Malouf is a rare, excellent find and among San Francisco's finest professionals. read more

My boss referred me to Dr. Malouf and I completely agree with my fellow yelpers. Great, very professional and superfriendly dentist, dental hygienist and staff and the most modern dental practice I've ever seen (and I've been to dentists in 4 countries on 3 continents). Well worth the money! read more

Will always love you, Dr Malouf! You gave me a beautiful smile and I will always be grateful for having you as my dentist! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your passionate work is unforgettable. read more

If I could give Dr. Malouf 10 stars I would! He is the consummate professional - knowledgeable, understanding, skillful and downright nice! His demeanor carries through to the entire staff in his office. They are all wonderful. I will never forget this. I broke my front tooth on a Saturday not long ago. On Monday morning I slipped into Dr. Malouf's office. He had made arrangements with another Doctor to do the root canal. I was in the other dentist's office within a half hour to begin the root canal. When the root canal was finished, I went back to Dr. Malouf's office where he put the cap on my front tooth. By 3:30 pm I was out of Dr. Malouf's with a brand new tooth and on my way to give a speech at 5 PM. I could smile and talk again! No pain, through the entire process!!! Wow! That's service. My husband and I consider Dr. Malouf to be the very best and we highly recommend him. Lorraine T read more

I love Dr. Malouf and his terrific staff. He is so sincere and helpful. And to top that off, he is a perfectionist and does extraordinary work. I have never been disappointed and have been seeing him regularly for over five years. He is always aware of my personal financial constraints and helps find ways to accommodate my budget. Feel almost happy to go to the dentist! And his staff are out of this world....so caring and patient.... read more

Best dentist ever. If he's not your dentist please don't smile in my direction. Malouf doesn't mess around. No extra expenses, awesome service front to back of the house. My wife and I have been going to him for 15+ years. A+++++++++++ read more

I discovered Alan Malouf about 13 years ago after I moved to San Francisco. Deciding on a dentist is not an easy task so I asked for a recommendation from a very demanding co-worker who had (has) absolutely beautiful teeth. She did not hesitate and recommended Alan. I have to say that while I normally don't write gushing reviews about anyone or anything, Alan comes close. He is not only very talented, but an artist as well. He reconstructed a front tooth of mine that somehow broke off ten years ago and is still in perfect shape. The dental hygienists in his office are superb and the receptionist (Connie) is a total delight. Can one have a pleasant experience with a dentist? Absolutely - at Alan Malouf's office. read more

Everything you want your dentist to be: thorough, detail oriented, meticulous, caring, personal and polite. And his staff is following his lead. read more

I had Zoom bleaching trays made and they are fantastic. Dr. Alan Malouf even decided to make a second upper mold as he wasn't pleased with the result of the first one. Very impressive! Alan Malouf is nothing but kind, knowledgeable and professional. He is methodical, explains everything thoroughly and he cares. Beautiful office, kind and helpful staff and you won't go wrong choosing him as your dentist! read more

He's a true craftsman. Connie took a Polaroid of me in 2001, sort of their intake ritual at the time...just a smirk was all I was capable of ... Now I smile :) the cleanings by all 3 hygienists are superb, relaxing with results you can see. There was a time in the mid-aughts they would use a lil' 'mouth camera' to show you a close-up of your flossing fails by projecting the images to a mounted screen... Let's just say this is a trend I'm glad has passed . I look forward to my twice yearly visits with Alan read more

Indeed, he -- and his entire staff -- are awesome. I've been going to him for...15 years, is it? I am VERY particular about professionals - and especially dentists, and he is one of the best I've every seen. His staff are friendly and helpful (will do all kinds of acrobatics to work with your insurance company), and his hygenists are very sensitive. Furthermore, I have referred many people to him -- including several who are dentist phobic -- and they all agree he is wonderful. read more

I have gone to Doctor Malouf for at least 6 years. He is thorough and caring. His staff is very competent and the office is VERY clean. I appreciated never having to wait more than 5 minutes too! read more

Each and every person that work with Dr Malouf (including himself) is amazing !!!!! I been a patient of his for over 10 years and everyone has gone above and beyond to take care of me. I am never disappointed when I walk to this office because I know that everything will turn out great. One of my favorites in his office is Jennifer (I think that's her name) because she is always helping me improve in my flossing since it's been the most difficult thing for me to do. Connie is also an angel because everytime I have to reschedule she takes care of everything for me within seconds. They are the best !!! You will not regret your visit to this office. read more

.. Still the best dentist I have ever had. Yesterdays experience was amazingly efficient. Dr. Malouf puts his experience, professionalism, and caring demeanor to good use. I cannot say enough good things about him or his staff. There's a reason why he's voted 5-stars by everyone that has reviewed him/his practice. read more

Dr. Malouf and his staff are great. Over the past several years he and Dr. Craig Mukai have completely saved my teeth from my "Grandmother's" gums! Guess it runs in the family, all I can remember is hearing her gag as she put in her false teeth every morning. I vowed this would never be me and because of Dr. Malouf and his staff - it won't be! read more

Doctor Malouf is just the best! Very professional. I highly recommend his office to everyone I know. The other Yelp reviews say it all!

Dr. Malouf and his staff are wonderful. Had my first visit with them last week, due to severe pain from my wisdom teeth. I was very nervous since it had been too long since I had seen a dentist, from the moment I walked into his beautiful office I felt so comfortable. Connie was awesome, verifying my insurance information and I wish I would have caught the name of the wonderful lady who assisted Dr. Malouf and did a full set of x-rays on my teeth, she was AMAZINGLY kind and sweet. Even though he is not in my circle for my insurance, I will gladly pay the additional funds to see him. He made me feel confident about my smile, which I haven't in years, gave me some much needed help and relief with my teeth. In addition he gave me a referral to an oral surgeon, who is also very nice, and seems very competent. Looking forward to getting my cleanings and Invisalign with Dr. Malouf and his staff. Cheers to finding an awesome dentist! I highly, highly recommend him. read more

This has to be the best dentist office in town no questions asked. I have a severe phobia of Dentists but I do not want to be fully sedated as I'm trying to work through my fear. Dr. Alan Malouf and his wonderful staff have been working tirelessly with me on this. They always make me feel so comfortable, they are very patient and accommodating with me. I could not even think about going to a different dentist, or having a cleaning with anybody but Rachel. Rachel is the kindest, she explained everything gave me little breathing breaks and helped me immensely today. I'm forever grateful for all of the staff in this office including Connie, she's the sweetest and always available to help. read more

here is another good review. dr malouf is awesome and so is everyone i have met in the office. Connie the receptionist and the dental assistants, can't remember their names. i chipped my tooth, and it wasn't too bad but they got me in the day after I called. dr. malouf came right over and asked me how i was doing and what I had going on this summer and sat right down to examine my chipped tooth. It wasn't that bad but he told Connie at the front desk, find out how much it will be and if her insurance will cover it. Totally transparent about the whole money thing which I respect. Turns out my insurance did pay for it and i was a happy camper with 150 more dollars in my pocket! He did the job to perfection, i had bonding on my teeth before that was slightly a different color and when he did it i couldn't even tell it had bonding on it!!! read more

I chipped a tooth one day and went to a dentist who had zero confidence he would be able to match the color for a bond and we would most likely have to do something more "aggressive" like a crown or a veneer. For a very minor chipped tooth???? I decided to walk out of the office since my insurance was not going to cover it anyway why not do some research and find a great dentist. I was referred to Dr. Malouf by my boss - he is her regular dentist and he fixed a chipped tooth for her and hers looks amazing. The office was able to get me in the first day of the following week in the morning. Everyone in the office was very nice, professional and he had no concern with fixing it. The color is the most difficult part of doing a bond and now mine looks as good as new! Thanks, Dr. Malouf! read more

Dr Malouf and his staff are the best! They never keep you waiting-if your appointment is at 8 you are in the chair at 8. The hygienists are outstanding and the Dr really cares about his patients. Connie up at the front is always on top of things. I overpaid once and had a check three days later. I don't know what I will do when Dr. Malouf retires. read more

Best dentist/dentist office ever! The hygienist will teach you to care for your teeth and give you the best cleaning you have ever had. These folks are serious, quality professionals. I am so impressed by the level of care and service here. I refer everyone I know to this dentist office. I am loyal to them and have been going here for years--thanks Dr. M! read more

I recently made a change to Dr. Malouf as he came highly recommended from a friend. Best decision ever. His work far surpasses the previous dentist i was going to. They are not even in the same LEAGUE! He is by far the best dentist ... hands down - honest, ethical, knowledgable not to mention an amazing one in a million temperament and personality!! He is absolutely fabulous. There aren't too many dentists in SF who have his attention to detail, knowledge and training. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

My Kaiser PCP recommended Dr. Malouf. He is a very caring, friendly and great dentist. I am usually anxious when receiving dental care and he put me at ease. I also like his staff. I really appreciate his receptionist, Connie, who can work easily and helpfully with someone who has a busy schedule. I highly recommend Dr. Malouf and his staff. read more

I got braces late in life, about 17 years ago -- not too long after I moved to the Bay Area. My orthodontist whom I also regard highly, referred me to Dr. Malouf when I said I needed a new dentist, and since then I've referred numerous colleagues and friends to him. He and his staff are hands-down the most pleasant and professional medical professionals I've ever experienced. Also extremely punctual -- if you have an 8:00 a.m. appointment, you will be ushered to your chair at 8:00 a.m., and the appropriate procedure(s) will begin immediately. I've had a wide variety of procedures done by Dr. Malouf -- root canals (he doesn't do those any longer), crowns, veneers, lots and lots of cavity fillings. I used to be terrified of the dentist, but no more! Virtually painless procedures, extraordinarily high quality results, with heavy emphasis on proper contact / bite of the teeth and great aesthetics. Many of the staff have been there for years, which speaks highly of the office dynamics. Connie, who always has a kind word and a smile on her face, has been there longer than I've been a patient, and she makes dealing with insurance companies and medical paperwork as painless as it can be (in keeping with the general painlessness of everything there!). A recent development adds even more to the allure of Dr. Malouf's office -- he recently moved from the 23rd floor of 450 Sutter to the 3rd floor. Hallelujah!! No more half-hour waits for the elevator! And his new offices are as soothing as a medical office can be. Go! You won't regret it! read more

I've been seeing Dr Malouf for several years now. He is extremely attentive, informative and caring. Connie, one of his assistants, is very accommodating, always trying to fit me in as I travel every week and my schedule can be quite erratic. I also recommend the hygienists, as they are thorough, attentive and gentle. I like that everyone there seems to genuinely love what they do. My teeth have all kinds of issues and I am grateful to have Dr Malouf and his team as my dental team. read more

I was referred to Dr. Malouf by my work collegues back in 1997 who all raved about him. He explains everything in detail, his facility is state of the art, and the staff is super friendly and competent. Sadly, I moved to LA a couple years ago and have yet to find a dentist that even comes close. They all say that I have the best fillings they have ever seen --Way to go Dr. Malouf! read more

To start, an amazing Man! I was always known as the guy with bad teeth, until Dr Malouf took on my case. I received Porcelain Crowns that made my smile noticeable to everyone in an amazing way! I grind my teeth and there were a few fractures along the way. Dr Malouf repaired the problems with no cost to me! I wish i could post, before and after pics! Not any Cosmetic Dentist could do what he did! He is your man for any case deemed impossible! Staff is friendly, professional and accommodating read more
