I'd been seeing the same dentist in San Francisco for over 40 years, so finding a new one after I moved was honestly a little scary. I also have a lot of anxiety about dental work, especially getting Novocaine, and I've put off appointments because of it. Dr. Sylvia and her assistant, Margery, couldn't have been kinder. They really listened to my concerns, took the time to explain everything, and offered alternatives that made me feel much more comfortable. At no point did I feel judged or rushed. Instead, I felt understood and genuinely cared for. If you're someone who gets anxious about going to the dentist, I highly recommend them. They turned an experience I was dreading into one where I actually felt safe and well cared for. I am glad I found them. read more

Dr. Nathan, Maria, and Casie were all great!! The front staff was warm, inviting and helpful. They were very informative with all my new patient questions. Dr. Nathan, Maria, and Cassie were thorough and informative about what was going well and what I could do to improve my dental hygiene. Casie gave me a tip I had never heard before about how to use the water flosser better. I am grateful for their care and look forward to seeing them again. read more

My dental insurance recently changed and I was in the process of finding a new dentist when my front tooth chipped. Unfortunately, it was 2 days before my vacation. Cotati Dental Wellness was able to see me and fix my tooth in one day!! They were absolutely incredible, everyone was so nice and they did an amazing job on my tooth! My wife and I have definitely found our new dentist!! read more

The office staff and hygienists are consistently friendly and helpful, making every visit a great experience. A huge shoutout to Debbie. she is incredibly thorough, personable, and professional. I tend to ask a lot of questions, and she is always happy to educate me and provide clear answers. A business is truly only as good as its team, and Debbie is the main reason I continue to choose this practice for my care. read more

I went here for years, and several times had to wait 20-30 mins in the waiting room. I started bringing my computer so I could work if they were running late. well I had an appointment today and was running late but told them I'd be there 12 mins late. They texted me at 10 minutes and said too bad, it was a failed appointment. funny they can be super late all the time, but not me one time when I've been on time for years. *I will update with someone did call me from the office to hear how they can improve, and I do appreciate that. I will add one star for that. read more

This is a business that has earned their 5 star rating thus far. Everyone from my oral hygienist to my dentist were the perfect blend of attentive as well as knowledgeable, and my dentist realized that i'm the type of person that likes hearing the technical details and adapted his communication style to that on the fly. He gave me a fair representation of what dental issues I had were pressing and time sensitive versus what ones could wait until it's a more convenient time for me to address them, they gave me a wonderful cleaning, in a spotless and modern looking office, and everyone I interacted with were pleasant and attentive. My girlfriend has been telling me to go to this dentist for months, and now that my previous dentist finally retired I took the leap of faith; and I don't regret it at all. Cotati Dental Wellness is a hidden gem, for anyone looking to get their teeth taken care of. Edited to add: I wanted to pay a special thank you to my dentist who did such a wonderful job explaining the whole process and being very transparent, if I can find his exact name i'll update my review later on, as his bedside manner was top-notch. I believe his first name was Anthony. read more

I had an excellent experience on my first visit here as a new patient. Very professional and attentive to detail as well as being very kind and open about what they were finding and what to plan to do about it. read more

Unfortunately, since my last review, CDW has disappointed us in the care of my wife. She originally had X-rays done for her initial visit before starting a deep clean and preventative dental care regimen. After experiencing much pain from the deep clean and removal of a tooth, the last straw came when biting into a burrito caused a cracked tooth in the very front top of her mouth. She reached out to a different dental practice, they took the same type of X-rays that CDW had taken previously! That dentist showed her the X-rays as well as some fractures in the teeth that were approximately 45 years old due to a childhood trauma that my wife experienced when she was a little girl. CDW and its deep cleaning practices exasperated the fractures and possibly caused more damage to the already damaged teeth. CDW may want to take a closer look at the opening X-rays before they move forward with a new patient. We have definitely moved on from CDW read more

The Dental Team was very efficient and worked very kindly with me as a new patient! The facility was neat and well organized . I recommend you try Cotati Dental Wellness! read more

I've been a patient at Cotati Dental Wellness for over 2 years. The customer service is top notch. Their offices are always clean and welcoming. I usually work with Karla and Dr. Sylvia, but I've also seen Dr. Sarah. I love that it's female owned and operated. I never have trouble getting an appointment here. It is also very convenient to me since I live around the block in B section and can walk there. read more

Thank you Cotati Dental Wellness. You staff is great and Carla (sp) my hygienist is top notch. I highly recommend her! read more

First few appointments went really well. But eventually I had to get a mouthguard and due to problems in the mouth we agreed that it would be for my bottom teeth. When it came time to make the cast, team started measuring the top and I had to remind them that we said it was for the bottom. When I go in to get the mouthguard, it is for the top and causes massive discomfort. When I explain what was discussed, They say the dentist will be right in to talk to me. I then find out the dentist is not even in and they want to make another appointment, at my own inconvenience, in order to fix their mistake. It sucks because I really enjoyed going to them, but after this experience, it is clear that they cannot take the time to ensure That patient is receiving proper care. read more

I've only had positive experiences at Cotati Dental Wellness. The front desk professionals are kind and efficient. They respond to requests and questions quickly and are flexible with scheduling. I have always been seen immediately upon arrival. Dr. DeAguiar is honest and caring and dental hygienists Cassie, Karla are outstanding. The office is modern and spotless. I can't imagine going anywhere else. read more

Great experience, everyone was nice and professional. The Hygentist Karla was awesome and very informative. I usually hate going to the dentist but this was a great first experience at Cotati Dental Wellness. read more

Update: just got my first filling by Dr. Sara and it was so smooth and easy. I squirm but it was practically painless and healed quickly. So happy with how it went. read more

Friendly and helpful staff. Nice comfortable environment. The dentist was very thorough in her evaluation.

Always a pleasure going to this office! So clean, professional and friendly! Gorgeous new location to top it all off!

What a great and thorough exam! Dr. Sylvia was really awesome at explaining what she was going to do and what I can expect in the future. Everything was comfortable and I experienced zero pain. read more

My kids and husband have been going to Cotati Dental for a couple of years now and they have no complaints. I went for the first time this week and thought the treatment was amazing. Everyone is friendly and polite. The tech and the Doctor explained step by step what they were doing and the exam was painless. I had a wonderful experience. That's the first time I say that about going to the dentist! read more

Today was my third visit to Cotati Dental Wellness (2 cleanings and a filling replacement since last Fall) and I continue to be impressed and appreciative of the entire team!! Very friendly, thorough, and professional in all aspects of the care they provide, and the team is well versed on the up to date equipment they use!! Appointments can be scheduled starting at 7 AM if you need an early start. My cleanings so far have been completed in under 30 minutes and the filling replacement last Fall was about 45 minutes at the most. Thankfully I've not needed intensive care but if I did, I'm confident that Cotati Dental is where I would want to get treated!! read more

Cotati Dental Wellness has always given the personal care needed. Their new office has familiar welcoming faces along with new staff who are courteous, on time, and professional. The doctors explain each step along the way which helps ease into each situation. Thank you once again! read more

As a military spouse, I move around the country a lot, and the worst part is finding new dentists at each location. I have had some terrible dental experiences leaving me in tears, keeping me from seeing dentists for years at a time. I was terrified the next dentist would be a bad one....recently we moved to Petaluma and I couldn't go any longer without getting dental work ,and unfortunately the dentist I went to see was the WORST yet, but I still needed a lot of work done. I took a leap of faith and tried Cotati Dental and they have set the bar to a whole new level of for me!!! They are AMAZING!!!! EXTREMELY talented, gentle and kind. I have not one bad word to say about this practice. I have yet to feel one second of pain not even the needle during injection of Novacane. They also are very conservative in their work. Instead of jumping straight to root canals and crowns they choose to save your tooth and nerve. After 2 very big cavities filled I am pain free with teeth intact. Previously I was told I would have needed root canals. On top of all this awesomeness I felt comfortable asking them today if there was a way to fix my two chipped front teeth.... Not only did they exam the issue during an appointment for unrelated teeth, they went ahead and fixed them right there and I left with so much more confidence in my smile! I cannot thank Dr. Sarah & all the hygienists/assistants (especially Margie) enough for their time, patience and love they put into their work. I know I'm in great hands for the next 4 years & I hope this review help's connect other people like me whose experiences have left them scared of seeing a dentist and they too can feel as at ease in the hands of Cotati Dental!! THANK YOU Cotati Dental for making me enjoy coming to see you all read more

See all

Amazing care, technique and super thorough. Great staff doing great work, highly recommended. read more

My dad, Felix, has been to a couple of dentists in the past that always left him unsatisfied but he absolutely loved how thorough Dr. Sylvia was about his crown procedure! In his words, "Dr. Sylvia is a badass dentist" ! read more

I had my first visit today with Dr Sarah Kwong and I must say that I had an excellent experience. When I walked in, the office was nice and clean. It had an elegant yet modern aesthetic. I was greeted by the front office and was taken to the room right away. I noticed that the room was neat, organized and had updated equipments. The RDA was very polite and reassuring when she was taking my x-rays. Dr Sarah was very thorough during her exam and had a clear treatment plan by the end of it. You can tell that she's smart and knowledgeable in what she does. The front office also printed the treatment plan for me with a clear breakdown of the fees including insurance coverage. I appreciate the transparency so much due to some bad experience with my past dentist. The only thing that could've gone better for my experience was doing my cleaning and treatment the same day. However, I understand they may be busy at the moment and had to schedule for another day. My husband had a more urgent treatment he needed to do and it was done the same day. I will definitely recommend Cotati Dental Wellness looking for an excellent dentist! read more

Beautiful new office, very clean, wonderful staff who was very kind and accommodating as I had to bring my kid with me to my appt. Knowledgeable and also respectful to my kids if they were feeling uneasy at all during their appts. Couldn't ask for more! read more

Went on this morning for a crown snd cleaning! Everyone there was very professional! Was surprised that I left with my permanent crown! My teeth feel so clean !! I do have to remember to floss every night! Thank you Cotati Dental Wellnedd read more

Great experience. Since being treated by Dr Sylvia and all the staff, I actually don't mind going to the dentist anymore!

I am so thrilled with my dentist that I feel compelled to write a review! I saw Dr. Varlakova yesterday for a 2 and a half hour appointment. I have severe anxiety about the dentist and my anxiety prevents me from getting regular dental care. I needed to replace a broken 30 year old crown and needed a cavity filled at the gum line. Dr. Varlakova was kind, compassionate and gentle. The appointment was pain free. It was long but the results are fantastic. The entire office is wonderful. I'm so grateful to be a part of Cotati Dental. read more

First dental office where my jaw doesn't hurt after getting my teeth cleaned, 10/5 if I could leave that as a review!!!

I'm so happy with Cotati Dental Wellness. It took me a while to find just the right fit. I'm very picky about my dentists. The one before was horrible! He told my son and myself we both had 10 cavities and I was flabbergasted. I thought there was no way that could be right. I unfortunately had already paid for 4 of my son's fictitious cavities to be filled. I went to Cotati Dental Wellness and after looking at the exrays they told me that they didn't see any cavities even the ones I payed to have filed. Cotati Dental Wellness is conservative when they diagnose your teeth. I appreciate that. Did I mention how nice they are? They are. read more

I have been a patient at Cotati Dental Wellness for several years now and they keep geting better and better. Friendly and knowledgeable staff all the way around. Beautiful new facilities. Thank you! read more

Friendly staff, no wait and great teeth cleaning. I felt encouraged and well taken care of. All questions answered professionally and time was taken to explain on my level. read more

If you are looking for an honest dentist who will only recommend treatments you actually need, look no further. Dr Sylvia is THE BEST. I will never go elsewhere. I had gone to another dentist earlier in the year and left shocked at the number of cavities I had that needed 'urgent fillings'. I went to Dr Sylvia for a second opinion, she recommended a filling for 1 of the cavities with the option of watching two others that was smaller and certainly didn't need any treatment urgently. The procedure went amazingly, zero pain. She is wonderful. read more

Cotati Dental Wellness is always great about taking the patient experience into consideration. Just got some fillings done and the doctor was very careful to check in with me throughout the procedure, as well as explaining each step along the way. I really appreciate the kind staff as well. I have been a patient for several years, and the visits have been consistently positive for me. I highly recommend this dental practice! read more

This is an awesome dental office! They are really great about explaining exactly what they are doing next at the appointment, no matter if it's a cleaning or something more complicated. I really appreciate having a female dentist too! read more

I've been getting my Dental work for a long time here and Dr. V & Dr. S are the kindest and most thorough practitioners, plus Katherine, who does Dental Cleaning here is the most wonderful person not only because of how well she does her job, but the feeling of being around good hearted and quality people is worth all the money in the World. This Practice is PRICELESS!! read more

I popped a crown off my wisdom tooth at midnight a couple of days ago. It didn't hurt too badly, but I am 400 miles from home. Dr. Sylvia was incredibly caring and cautious with me and all of my dental related allergies. I felt very well taken care of by the entire office. She even sent me home with a little packet of a safe product to use in case it happens again before I can take care of it back home in Los Angeles. read more

We love Cotati Dental Wellness! They have done our routine care for a few years (adults and small children) along with an emergency tooth extraction for our 3 year old and an extraction and filling for our 7 year old. The quality of care is excellent and our kids are happy to go in even after having some serious dental work. Dr. D is kind and cheerful and is great at distracting the kids with special prizes, kid-friendly names and explanations for all of her tools and procedures, and gentle care. We have had bad experiences before with dental care and are very grateful to have found Cotati Dental Wellness! read more

My daughter-in-law suggested Cotati Dental several years ago. We've been coming ever since. They are all so personable. The 2 Doctors are wonderful. They don't push unnecessary procedures on you. They just moved in to a new place. So beautiful! Would highly recommend to anyone. read more
