Terrible service. They called just two hours before and canceled the appointment -- even though their own cancellation policy requires 72 hours' notice. If we hadn't notified them in time, we would've been charged an $80 fee. It seems that many clinics operate this way, but it's unacceptable. read more

This practice is AMAZING! I had a lot of dental anxiety and everything was smooth and simple from booking, services, scheduling a replacement of a filling and checkout. My cleaning was so gentle but effective, and the filling was no big deal at all! Highly recommend read more

It's one of this situations where it's so good, you almost don't want to post a review because you want to keep it a secret so it doesn't blow up and get crazy busy - but they've taken such good care of me that I must spill the beans... Bloom is an exceptional dental office. I have a lot of anxiety and stress around dental work (from when I was a kid and had years of braces and many teeth pulled), and the team at Bloom always makes me feel comfortable and taken care of. Ive never had any discomfort or paint during my cleanings or when I went for fillings. I've had multiple different physicians and doctors there - and each one of them is incredibly gentle and takes care to make sure I feel good throughout the appointment. I live and work in San Francisco, but I drive all the way here because I've never had such excellent dentists before. I recommend them to everyone I know and will always go back here. read more

Bloom Dental Group is the best dental office in the bay! All of the dentists, assistants, and hygienists have all been extremely caring, compassionate, and skilled. They also have amazing technology and make the appointments SO easy. Not to mention, the front staff are really friendly and accommodating with scheduling. I'm so thankful for Dr. Tamir and the whole team at Bloom. read more

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. The dentist is incredibly kind, patient, and thorough. The team is friendly, attentive, and actually listens to your concerns. I never felt rushed or pressured. They explained my options honestly and made sure I understood what was going on. It is rare to find a dental office that truly cares about people and their comfort. This place is one of them. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dentist who puts patients first. read more

Worth of every single penny! I can't say enough good things about Bloom Dental! From the start, they've gone above and beyond to make dental visits something I no longer dread. They're incredibly kind, personable, and truly understand how to support patients with dental anxiety. Their flexible scheduling makes it easy to find convenient appointment times, which I really appreciate. When I first came in, I needed quite a bit of dental work. Dr. Tamir was patient, thorough, and always took the time to explain every procedure and all of my options. Thanks to his expertise and gentle approach, I've had a range of procedures--including orthodontia, a crown, and a dental implant--with minimal discomfort and smooth healing every time. I've recommended Bloom Dental to my family, coworkers, and friends because I genuinely trust them. It's rare to find a dental office that prioritizes not only your oral health but also your comfort, safety, and overall experience. I'm so thankful I found them! read more

I had a painful bone spur protruding out of my lower gum that was getting worse daily. The Bloom Dental office was able to book an emergency visit , X-ray & remove this bone spur in minutes. Much appreciated! Sincerely, Walter read more

I'm still going to Bloom Dental because they are the BEST. Yesterday I got my first whitening and fixed a few fillings (done by a previous dentist). My appointments were super fast and I walked out with amazing results!! Idk how Dr Tamir does it but my new fillings match so well it feels like I have new teeth. I was nervous the whitening would be painful but they checked in with me in between each session, addressed all of my concerns and made sure I was comfortable. As always, I had a great experience! Thank you Bloom Dental :) read more

We just moved to the area and our previous dentist recommended Bloom. Easy to make and change my appointment. Parking is meh. Office is clean. Liv took a bunch of X-rays, pics, and 3d images - she's very sweet and she's been with Dr Tamir for a long time. I was treated by Dr Parker who is a younger dentist. I'm a professional patient dozens of surgeries, long hospital stays and on a bunch of meds. I had to get part of tooth shaved down due to a crooked bite. Dr Parker was very gentle I never felt a thing ( no Novocaine). As some with my experience I can and will be critical to any clinician who's not being mindful - TBH I was taken aback how gentle Dr Parker was yet he did a great job with the shaving. And with the whole crooked bite and some other issues I was prepared to hear and possibly pay for additional treatment. He advised against all that just keep doing what I'm doing and keep coming in for check ups. Yeah you read that right. They could have signed me for something extra but didn't. That's great patient care and they've earned my loyalty. read more

I've always hated the dentist. I hated everything about the scalers digging around, the polishing taste, and the poor "bedside" manners of the hygienists or dentists. Nothing ever felt like I was getting personal care and nothing was ever really explained in detail to me. It often left me putting off dental appointments as I could never really find a dentist that I hated going to. I tried Bloom after moving near San Mateo and wished I had found them and started with them earlier. They are extremely professional. The multiple hygienists I've seen and the dentist have been extremely communicative. Everything is explained in depth from causes to possible outcomes to what they are doing at that moment. They are also very courteous. I have no hesitation about heading into this office. They recently moved to yearly fee based system to account for the reduced payments they get from insurance. I understand this and don't see this as a big deal. If you want top tier service, it might cost a little less than a Netflix subscription a year. read more

Many dental practices are being forced into charging a fee to cover cost overruns from network insurance companies. Unfortunately Bloom is joining the ranks. This may keep me from twice annual visits to the hands down best dental experience I have ever had. Every part of Bloom from the front desk, hygiene, dental assistants and the dentist themselves. GOAT. Bummer on the fees. read more

Since my arrival to the US almost 8 years ago I haven't visited a dentist, not only did this lead to many dental issues such as cavities, impacted wisdom teeth nearly causing significant bone loss and a concrete-like plaque build up on the bottom teeth around the gums due to my permanent retainer making it difficult to floss and brush areas properly... but it also lead to further hesitation in finding a good dentist and a shame for the condition I left my teeth in from poor oral hygiene. Everything has been addressed and FIXED once I showed up to Bloom Dental Group, not only am I thankful and blessed to have found Dr. Lior Tamir but also filled with gratitude for the professionalism from his staff. My first visit sometime in August 2022 included x-rays and a detailed walkthrough of a treatment plan to be followed to tackle all my dental issues at hand. I was given a referral to pull all my wisdom teeth, then proceeded back to continue the next steps involving 2 Onlays for big cavities (Dr Lior suggested a more conservative approach rather than a root canal/crown since the damaged teeth wasn't as bad as he thought) and further fillings on other teeth along with root planning/scaling - totaling 4 visits in which I completed and restored the health of my teeth and gums. His staff Ila, Taylor, dental hygienist Lev & the rest at the reception have been nothing but accommodating and professional; quick to answer any and all questions, send appointment reminders and explain the processes taking place during/after treatment phases. I am beyond grateful and looking forward to my checkup/cleaning visits every 4 or 6 months to keep track and maintain the health of my teeth and gums permanently. 5 stars is an understatement, Dr Tamir is an honest and experienced dentist; highly recommended. read more

I have been coming to this practice for 2 years now and I have to say I've always had such pleasant experiences. I first booked online as a new client which was easy to navigate. After being a client, booking follow up appointments with the front desk girl, Bella (short brunette hair and pink lipstick) is even more convenient and she's great. I especially like the dental assistant/hygienist and the dentist because they're kind, communicative, and accommodating. I've recently gone in for a cleaning, a custom mouth guard, and a partial crown within a couple of months. The dentist makes sure to explain the procedure and answer any questions I may have. I feel comfortable and confident being under the care all of the dentists at Bloom dental and reaching out in any case. I look forward to my 6 month cleaning! 10/10 would recommend. Their office is very beautiful and calming. And having the best technology means they're able to reduce amount of follow ups which is always nice. read more

My dentist is better than yours! By a landslide! I came here from a referral of my cousin and his wife. Not only is my dentist friendly, cool to talk to, and comforting, he is professional and talks to you about your own game plan before prioritizing things. He verbalizes/explains what he is doing every step of the way. He makes sure that you are comfortable before moving forward (especially those that may have a phobia of dentists. Another amazing process is how quickly I got my crown. Back in the day, you would wait 2 weeks for a crown to be produced, but they made my new tooth in-house with the newest high technology and mounted it in less than 45 minutes! I enjoy the fact that I can text their number and promptly get responses. When you schedule your next appointment at the end of your visit, they give you a heads up if your insurance covers or does not cover things and the amount it may possibly be. I love that because I am one that needs to prepare for any costs that aren't part of my monthly norm. If you haven't seen Dr. Tamir at Bloom Dental, you haven't gotten the experience that you deserve! A+ read more

Dr. Tamir and his staff are excellent. He does exceptional work and pays attention to every detail. He's honest and trustworthy. I would recommend Bloom Dental Group 100%. read more

I had a root canal and needed a good crown, so I called this dental group and was kindly granted an appointment within a few days with Dr Tamil. They have exceptional technology, exceptional decor with orchids galore. They also have an unusually complex targeted branding and marketing practice for dentistry. I have to sign my life off to get the crown. After my life was rescinded, I was gently guided to a narrow seat. I was very surprised because it is like that of an small airplane. The "flight attendant" was very cute with genuinely good looking hair. However, it was the only time that I ever gag from her failure to remove things with the suction tube during the entire procedure. I had noticed that Dr Tamil's anesthetic skill is much below my other experience. First, his needles really stings. Second of all, I was in pain when they first try the crown on. And the pain was around even after he re-injected me. What really surprise me is the size of custom 3D-printed crown. It was much smaller than my other teeth. Way smaller that he left a gap between that and my wisdom tooth. He also suggested that I remove that wisdom tooth even though it is fine. I recently realize that I might need to someday if that gap he left never fills. I still have pain in my gum even after two months. Weirdly, that tooth have a squeaky sound when used, maybe he should perfect this for other patients. I hope nobody have to fight for their lives after me. I have noticed that the honest small star reviews magically disappear from here. So I can now find out what highly honorable Magic will be able to make this disappear. read more

I still receive their messages and emails, even though it's been three years since my last visit, which keeps reminding me to leave a review about my poor experience. Don't go here if you want to get treated right!! The dentist actually CUT MY GUM while removing some glue from my orthodontic treatment. It seemed like such a basic job, yet she couldn't manage it correctly. Also, during the cleaning, they missed the chewing surfaces of my teeth. When I asked them to clean it, the dentist initially claimed it couldn't be done--without even trying. After I insisted, she finally gave it a try and was actually able to remove the stains. You deserve somewhere better. And unsubscribe their emails they send ads crazily often read more

Dr. Lior Tamir is great at his work. I was missing a tooth, but with his recommendations, connections and expertise everything is good now. I enjoy my new dental implant. If you are looking for top notch care, look no further. His office stuff is also very polite and knowledgeable. Thanks! read more

Dr. Diaz did an amazing job with my dental treatment! Staff are super nice and very clean.

My daughter had a dental cleaning appointment with Alex today. Alex was very professional and I appreciate her taking the time to listen to my concerns. When my daughter finished her cleaning appointment, Alex came up to me and sat down next to me to be more personable to go over her recommendations. She brought me in the treatment room to go over my daughter's panoramic x-ray and periodontal charting, which I appreciated. She walked us to the front desk and asked us to schedule in six months. Their front desk receptionist, Ilanit on the other hand might require more training. Upon arrival, she didn't greet, smile or make eye contact, which is very rude and unprofessional in my opinion. She was not welcoming or friendly. After Alex walked us to the front desk, Ilanit was quick to say we were all set and was sending us away but I had questions. She was still not making any eye contact. We've also been emailing back and forth for awhile and any other person would automatically introduce themselves to a patient they have not met in person. I had to ask her for her name and introduced myself to her. Still - no eye contact. Again, I found her interaction very rude and extremely unprofessional. I'm no longer comfortable referring other patients nor do I recommend coming to this office. A receptionist is the face of the practice. They either make or break your business. It's all about the whole experience from start to finish. -update- I received a text and was asked about my experience and to leave a review on Yelp. So I left an honest review about my experience yesterday. However, the owner of the practice reached out to me via-email and canceled my other daughter's upcoming appointment. The review was based on yesterday's visit. I did mention, their Hygienist, Alex did a wonderful job and the bad review was based on my experience with the front desk. I am grateful that the owner reached out to me directly to acknowledge my review. However, I am confused why he canceled my other daughter's appointment? Basically kicked us out of his practice because of an honest review. This is very unfortunate and unethical on his part. I am not happy. Why would he retaliate against my honest review? They could have used this as an opportunity to do better next time. I am shocked at his response. I attached a screenshot of his email. ----- Important information I just found out. The front desk I was referring to is Ilanit and that's the owner's wife! Which means he dismissed my children and myself from his practice due to personal reasons. read more

Dropping one star due to the continued challenges of booking an appointment for existing patients. This place prioritizes new patients so much more. There is a 5-month (!) wait for an appointment now. When I expressed disbelief, their reply was - that's all we have. It's almost like "take it or leave it". The hygienist cleaning was great. But for existing patients, it is very very difficult to get cleaning appointments. The overt priority for getting new business just feels distasteful. They have slots available for new patients, but it is just impossible to get slots for existing patients, unless you're willing to wait months. I don't understand why they'd spend so much effort to get new patients, then make it so hard for existing patients to get appointments. read more

I can't say enough about Bloom Dental. From the first phone call all the way through my appointment, the team made me feel comfortable. The welcoming front desk team, the skilled dental assistance and the amazing Dr. Yoo flowed seamlessly to make the visit a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this office. read more

Both me and my partner get our dental care here. We also both got Invisalign here too. Dr. Tamir is always welcoming, professional, and patient. I've been afraid to get my wisdom teeth pulled for years, I finally went through with it after consulting with Dr. Tamir, and planned for my surgery following with Invisalign. Dr. Simel was the oral surgeon that performed the extraction, he did an amazing job! My recovery was quick and easy, no more than the normal soreness and pain that was expected, and no swelling at all! I am now complete with my Invisalign treatment and happy with my results. My partner also just completed his Invisalign as well and is also happy with the process and results. All of the staff there are also so nice and wonderful! Booking appointments is easy, and the staff is very quick to respond via email or phone. Parking is on the street but usually there's plenty of parking during regular business hours. And it's usually free 2 hour parking. read more

I just had my cleaning with Tina and she was by far the best hygienist I've ever had. She was so gentle and explained each part of the process thoroughly especially after I had demonstrated interest. Dr. Tamir was also very kind and open to answering any questions. There were many flavors of polish and key lime was a good pick. I'd highly recommend those considering a new dentist to come to Bloom Dental! read more

Terrible customer service at the front desk. No people skills. I also see the owner not taking feedback, but making excuses and ranting on everyone who gives them a low star count. He states phrases such as "cleaning your teeth" as in something he's doing as a "favor" . He needs to remember that by cleaning teeth, he is getting paid. I'm surprised people go there and pay extra charges. My insurance covers my cleaning and if there would be a co-pay, all they have to do is pre-approve the work and inform before you go to the appointment. I'm already expecting the owner to attack this comment. So I will just tell you, research for other options before you go. read more

Great staff all around. Good people and very helpful. Dr Tamir is awesome and very personable. He's a perfectionist which is exactly what you want when dealing with your chompers. They'll take care of you beginning to end. Also, the dental hygienist you deal with post are top notch. read more

Best Dental Office Ever! From the moment you walk in, you know you're in good hands. The front desk staff is so warm and welcoming--it immediately puts you at ease. And then there's Dr. Tamir... I've never had such an incredible and truly caring dentist. He takes the time to explain everything, makes sure you're comfortable, and genuinely wants the best for his patients! I've had amazing experiences with the entire team--my dental hygienist is thorough and gentle (I'm super sensitive), Liv (the dental assistant) is fantastic, and even the dental surgeon who did my tooth implant made the whole procedure painless. The level of care from start to finish is unmatched, and the follow-up is next level--they check in to make sure you're doing okay and are always available to answer any questions. It honestly feels more like family than a dental office. I moved to the SouthBay and still continue to do all my dental care here! It's so worth the drive. If you're looking for a dentist who is a master at his craft, highly skilled, caring, and surrounded by an equally amazing comprehensive team, this is the place. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Amazing dentists and service. I had an emergency and they made sure I was seen right away. I walked away feeling as good as new!

When I first moved to San Mateo in 2019, I did a bit of research and stumbled upon Bloom and it's been nothing but great since then! I recently moved ~25 minutes away but I still go to Bloom for my dental needs. Naturally, I could find a new dentist closer to me but I have no desire to. It's definitely worth the time and drive. Colette is the very best and puts everything at ease while I'm there. She really enjoys her job, cares for her patients and the work that she's doing. Whenever I have an appt, I always request Collette. While I'm there, I feel like I'm catching up with a friend that I haven't seen in a while. I really look forward to all of my dentist appointments because of her. read more
