I've been going to Dr. Muncheryan for over 14 years. He does the most gentle Novocaine injections since I HATE needles! Over the years, I've done root canals, crowns and captivity fillings all done by Dr. M. In fact, they were so pleasant that I will manage to fall asleep in the chair. He has a TV in every room so you can space out and not freak out when they're working on your teeth (or is that just me?) Plus I love Connie the hygienist who's cleaned my teeth countless of times. She knows my routine so well, that there's always two Advil's ready for me before we get started, topical to put on my gums b/c I hate any kind of pain and my goody bag packed with treats before I leave. (Ok so floss is not really a "treat") Can a dentist office spoil you? I guess so... read more

I come from a family of bad teeth. I also have intense dental fear. As a kid, my mom took me to a clinic and every visit brought me a different dentist, ranging from awkward to creepy boy who called little girls "sweetie" and "honey". I avoided the dentist between the years of 6th and 10th grade, then ended up with a dentist who always looked like he was in tremendous stress. It didn't help that the day he gave me a filling was a day after his toddler knocked over a pot of hot oil onto his leg. We only went to him because he made a lenient payment arrangement with my mom since we didn't have insurance. I finally became an adult and picked this guy as my dentist. I can't remember how I found him (I think a referral from a co-worker?) but I've been a patient of his since 1999. So what makes him so awesome? He cares about the quality of work he does. Anal retentive = awesome. He's also very conscientious about people's previous dental trauma and always makes sure I'm comfortable. Not only is he awesome, but his entire office is awesome. They provide excellent customer service that is above and beyond. I had a root canal on a molar yesterday that took 4 hours and this morning, they called me to make sure I was okay. Whenever I get anything major done, they call me that evening or the next day to make sure everything's good. I've also gotten "get well" cards when I've canceled due to illness and gift cards for referring new patients (I've referred at least 5 people who continue to see him). Last month, they had to cancel my appointment because they had a power outage and for the inconvenience, they gave me a $10 Starbucks card. I didn't feel inconvenienced but I appreciate their consideration. read more

This review is for the office staff only, not for Arthur Muncheryan himself. Very poor customer service. Virginia is rude and strange. Completely inappropriate. I would not recommend this office.. read more

My sisters and I have been going to Dr.Muncheryan for the past few years and they make it plesant to go to the dentist. Dr.Muncheryan is great dentist with a kind demenor. The rest of he staff is also WONDERFUL. Virginia and Jim always give a great big smile and a kind 'hello'. Connie is super nice, and Rebecca are very gentle and attentive when she is helping out. I hope this review is helpful to someone looking for an awesome dental office. read more

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Muncheryan!! Not only is he exceptional dentist but he also has a way of making even the most nervous person (me) feel calm. Thoughout my different procedures he has always made sure that I was absolutely comfortable and in no pain whatsoever!!! He explained everything to me from A-Z. He is so gentle, you don't even know that he started the procedure. He is truly a miracle worker!!! I actually had to call Dr. M on a Friday night, and without even thinking twice, he said, "can you meet me at the office now?" ONE IN A MILLION, that's all I can say!!!! Dr. Muncheryan's team is also fabulous. Everyone there is so genuinely concerned about you, they truly make you feel at home. Rebecca is probably THE best dental assistant that I have ever met in my entire life. She is kind, caring and is right next to you throughout the entire procedure!! Jim and Virginia are the most upbeat, friendly and professional office managers any one could ask for. They ALWAYS greet you with a smile, and welcome you with open arms. Connie, who is an incredible dental hygenist, is wonderful. Like Dr. M., she explains everything from A-Z, and gives your teeth the BEST cleaning EVER!!! Everyone in the office is just too good to be true!! I DEFINITELY recommend Dr. Muncheryan and his team to everyone!!! There is no one better!!! read more

It's nice to actually look forward to going to the dentist! Everyone is so nice there, I consider them my second family! They always remember what I'm up to in life and care about knowing more. But down to business... in all my years of going to the dentist, I have never found a staff more thorough than them. They are gentle and efficient, and all around a great team. read more

This is the first dentist office that doesn't make me have butterflies in my stomach and sudden pains the second I walk through the door. I've been going here since 2006 and never thought once to yelp about them till today. Connie is hands down one of the best hygienist I have ever had and I have had a lot. I like the toothbrush they give, Oral B. They have little lip balms. I love the staff. Virginia, Jim, Connie, Dr. Muncheryn, and Rebecca. This is the first place that they know me by name and I remember their names. I never remember anyone's name. I like it here a lot. read more

Dr. Muncheryan is a great dentist. He was able to fix the bad crowns that I had from my previous dentist. Food was getting caught under two of my crowns. The new ones that Dr. Muncheryan made fit like a glove. I no longer have any problems with food getting trapped underneath them. Connie the dental hygienist does an excellent job of keeping my teeth clean and is very professional. I highly recommend this office to anyone in search of a dentist. The staff is great! read more

I've had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Muncheryan and his staff for almost 13 years now. I used to work for Dr. Muncheryan when I was in high school, and because of his encouragement and support, I decided to become a dentist too! Not only that, I am also a current patient as well. When I was living in SoCal for 2 years, I used to fly back just so I could have Connie, the hygienist, clean my teeth. She is very gentle and thorough, and I can't imagine going to anyone else. As a dentist, I can truly appreciate the quality and care that Dr. Muncheryan puts into his work. His many years of experience make him very knowledgeable, and he is very good at explaining things when you don't understand. Rebecca, his assistant, is very attentive and does a great job of creating a comfortable environment during the procedures. I really enjoy my visits to the dentist, especially when Jim and Virginia at the front desk are so friendly and welcoming. It's great to catch up with them each time I'm in the office. You can tell that Dr. Muncheryan and his staff genuinely care about their patients. I highly recommend going to Dr. Muncheryan for all your dental needs. read more

I went to Dr. Muncheryan after having been failed by Gentle Dental. I took him my xrays from Gentle Dental, and the same complaint (a toothache). He exaimined me, explained why the x-rays (copies) that Gentle Dental gave me were of low quality (they weren't contact sheet copies), and proceeded to find that Ihad a dead tooth (which was causing the pain). Two days lafter, I had a root canal, Six days after that, and I'm pain-free for the first time in a month. Dr. Muncheryan is friendly, open, -conscientious-, skilled, and explains everything that's going on. He was open to helping me understand that, sure, a "deep cleaning" (something Gentle Dental pushed on me with a sledgehammer) was a good thing, but could and would wait for another time (when I had better insurance) but that a root canal? No, that was something to do -now- unless I wanted to lose this tooth. And yes,I could lose this tooth, but that was up to me. The operation was the opposite of what I imagined dental surgery to be like. Almost no pain at all. And as I said, 6 days later, and I'm pain-free. read more

I was so happy to have found a dental office close by. Was satisfied with their service at first. Connie is an excellent hygienist. She is precise and knows what she is doing. Dr. Muncheryan is pleasant. I was going to them for 3 years and even got my parents and sister to go to their dental office. I had a cousin visiting from London who was having a toothache...even took her in to see them! Obviously, I was a huge fan of theirs and raved about them to everyone. All that vanished recently. I went in for an appointment and was told by Dr. Muncheryan there were some fillings that needed to be refilled as they were too old. Let me just say fillings are supposed to last about 10 years. I thought that was odd because I'd had them done at a another dental office and was certain it was nowhere close to 10 years ago yet. Anyway, I trusted the Dr. and listened to what he had to say. He also kept insisting I needed a root canal on one of my teeth (when I went to another dentist recently he said that wasn't the case at all). However, I continued trusting him. Upon checkout, Virginia informed me she had checked my insurance benefits and the insurance would cover all my fillings. I trusted her and thought that was great. They scheduled me for the cavities to be refilled and I thought since insurance was covering it anyway, I'd get it done before any problems arise in my teeth or gums. After the treatments, months go by and I don't hear from them. After about 7-8 months they get in touch with me saying I owe them $1,200!! Upon asking what the bill was for they informed me that it was for the cavities they had filled for me. Apparently the insurance only covered the silver fillings and I had gotten the tooth colored ones. This one little fact they "forgot" to tell me about was now costing me $1,200 for cavities that were already filled in the first place!!!! I was beyond upset. They went on to inform me that they had been dealing with the insurance company and had tried to get them to cover the bill. But why didn't they find it important to inform the patient what was going on?! They kept me completely out of the loop until it was time to pay up. No bill had been sent to my house and just now I was finding out I owed them $1,200 via an email. Virginia had called but never in a message told me what was going on. I should mention I'm a student. They very well know that. I'm on a budget and managing finances on the student life is tough. I know it is my responsibility to pay fees if my insurance doesn't. I tried reasoning with Virginia and told her that this was ridiculous that I'd have to pay on such short notice for services she had initially told me would be covered. Had I had known I'd be paying $1200 for cavities that were already filled and not bothering me I'd never had gone through with it. I tried to work out a payment plan with them but the only one they'd offer was around $400/month for 3 months. They got in touch with me regarding this issue in the beginning of October and demanded the payment by October 31st. Threatened to send it to collections if I didn't abide. What was the need to take it that far? I was cooperating with them and its not like I refused to pay! Just was hoping for a better payment plan option as it was a financial hardship to pay $1200 out of nowhere! They didn't care. Especially Virginia who was a total b**** about it. She said the other option I had was to come in, have them take out the tooth color fillings, and refill with silver colored ones! They'd be willing to put a patient through all that pain & torture instead of just reducing the payment. This kind of customer service speaks for itself. Greedy for $$$! After all the business I had brought them and the years I had been loyal to them, they rewarded me by threatening to send a bill I wasn't even supposed to have based on what they had told me earlier to collections. I didn't want my credit score to be affected so I ended up paying the money on a credit card. They were not accommodating and very inconsiderate about they fact that I was a student trying to work out a payment plan with them. It was all about the money from that point on. Customer service went out the door. They scammed me into getting services that were not necessary and then bullied me to pay for it. Extreme extortionists I warn you. Not once did they own up to the fact that they had been wrong about finding out my insurance benefits. Had they done so correctly, none of this would've happened. But the fact that they were so rude, ignorant, and unhelpful in offering to reduce the amount or even break it into reasonable payments was not at all what I expected from them. I will never go back to them and I warn you to keep looking for a dental office that knows how to treat patients with respect and dignity. This staff, with the exception of Connie, only cares about your money, not you. They are a pathetic excuse for a dental office. Don't deserve even 1 star. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Muncheryan for 10+ years now and absolutely love him and his staff. Connie, the oral hygienist, is the best and she always does a wonderful job on my teeth. Even after I moved out of SF, I continue to go to him and only him. No matter how far I have to travel, Dr. M is the only dentist for me. read more

Great Dentist, great office staff. Have been going to Dr. Muncheryan since 1980. I hated going to the dentist as a kid but this guy puts you completely at ease and makes the visit pleasant. The three times a year cleaning I get is also terrific. Staff warm and friendly. None of my fillings have fallen out from the 1980s! Recommend, especially to those who have a fear of dentists. This dentist and company will help you through it. read more

I can't imagine a better solution for dental needs. Work is done with great care and integrity. The staff is conscientious with a delicate touch and Dr. Muncheryan is always willing with a full explanation of the what, why and how of the work to be done. His depth of knowledge of various techniques and choices makes it no surprise that he taught dentistry for years. The office is also very conveniently situated with regard to transportation and parking. read more

Great Dentist and Staff...been going to Dr. M for a several years now. I have referred most of my friends and they love seeing him. He has a gentle touch and great dental skills. His staff are awesome and the most happy group of people I know. The staff have been together for quite a bit of time and if you can laugh and smile at your place of work ...that's a lot of positive energy and a good place to be...even if it's for a dental cleaning read more
