Bloom Dental with Dr Lior Tamir and Staff has been a dentistry life changing experience. At the age…read moreof 11 I had a bad accident while playing football, breaking my front tooth and cracking another. As if that painful experience was not bad enough, the family dentist we were seeing left me traumatized to his manhandling painful dentistry style. After getting this issue resolved, for years to come, I was terrified of dentists to the point where I would have anxiety attacks knowing I had to go to the dentist and even worse on the actual day of the visit. Over the years into my adulthood I have had many different dentists and still experienced anxiety attacks for almost every visit every. visit. One day hanging out with my best friends Steve and Jodi, I was telling them that I was looking for a dentist. Steve excitingly started telling me about his experience with Dr Tamir and how gentle of a doctor he is. Jodi told me of all the type of work that they did and that she was extremely more than satisfied with the work they had done with her. I have been with Bloom Dental going on two years now. My first impression was the staff making me feel comfortable and at home, very easy to talk to, explaining everything in detail. They were very patient with me being reluctant at first to make appointments due to my bad experiences in the past. My second impression was how clean the office was, and very impressed with all the top technology equipment that they have. Then I actually had my first appointment with Dr Tamir and I cannot tell you how gentle, he was easy to talk to, taking his time while working on me and stopping several times making sure I was not in any pain and or discomfort. What a relief to finally find somebody who made me lose my anxiety attacks when I went to visit the dentist. In the last couple of months I had a tooth in my front smile that cracked and as if my smile was not bad enough, it diminished my self-esteem even more so about not smiling, and trust me for years I have had a very limited smile to not having good teeth to show off. I went in for my next dental appointment and and explained to Dr.Tamir about how I was feeling and he told me he could change that and told me all the options that we had. I chose to go with the veneers, and let me tell you what a life-changing experience it is when you can smile without embarrassment of how bad your teeth are. I am a conductor on a train and several of my regular passengers have made comments about my smile and how nice it was to see me smiling more frequently. My wife and daughter are now both patients of Bloom Dental. I would like to thank all the staff at Bloom Dental and Doctor Tamir for helping me overcome my fear of dentists and making me feel like part of their family. They have boosted my self-esteem, allowed me to take more selfies with my wife and show off my million dollar smile they have given me. More importantly I am not afraid of the dentist anymore, I know if I have any issues they will take care of me and I have no problem going to the dentist because of how comfortable they will make me feel and knowing that they can get the job done. I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for putting Bloom Dental, his staff and Dr. Tamir into my life.

From the moment you walk in, the team is welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. They are not only excellent at what they do, but they make the entire experience comfortable and stress-free.

I've been a patient at this office for a couple of years, which is why this experience was so…read moredisappointing. I was recently told I needed to see the oral surgeon, but the earliest appointment available was over a month away. When I explained that I was in pain, the response from the front desk was essentially that there was nothing they could do. There was no empathy, no attempt to help, and no referral to another oral surgeon who could see me sooner. Waiting over a month for someone experiencing dental pain is unacceptable. While I understand that specialists can have busy schedules, simply telling a patient to wait without offering any alternatives is poor patient care. After the call, I contacted another oral surgery office on my own. They were able to see me within two days and even offered a same-day treatment. That alone showed me there were other options that could have been suggested. What disappointed me the most wasn't the wait itself, but the complete lack of concern and communication. After being a loyal patient for years, I expected better. Unfortunately, this experience made it clear that once they couldn't accommodate me, they weren't interested in helping me find someone who could. I won't be returning and can't recommend this office based on how this situation was handled

The doctor was excellent--professional, reassuring, and attentive throughout the entire procedure. To my surprise, the extraction was completely painless. I never felt rushed, and everyone made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. If you're someone who gets nervous about dental work, I can't recommend this office enough. Their skill, kindness, and concern for their patients truly made all the difference. I'm so grateful for the care I received.

There are so many dentists- with poor government oversight unlike physicians- the competition is ferocious. Finding a skilled and honest dentist isn't easy.

This little office has heart, honesty and all the skills you needed without suggesting procedures you don't. I feel lucky to have found them.

I love working with Dr. Joanne Sotto!…read more Background story: I've been bad at going to the dentist my entire life, at one point did not go to one for several years, bam got a root canal after dealing with excruciating tooth pain (worst pain I've ever felt in my life that made me want to rip my mouth off), was told by another dentist that I'd need gum surgery or I wouldn't be able to get a crown for my root canal, ignored him because that scared me for another few years, finally had my temporary filling come off, then decided to do something about it in the past year... phew! I've hated the dentist all my life because no one made me feel safe or comfortable. I'd generally have male dentists spit on my face while they talked, have bad breath, tell me that if I don't get something done, I'd be the equivalent of someone mentally disabled, etc. It was not nice. When I met Dr. Sotto, she was everything I had ever wanted in a dentist. She was calm, grounded, kind, gentle, and very wise. She explained the pros and cons of things she suggested I get done matter-of-factly, she simplified how procedures were done in a way that was easy to understand, she made sure I was comfortable virtually the entire time she worked on me, and she was very patient and fun to talk to throughout everything. Where has she been my whole life?! The office space at Park Place Dental is very modern, clean, pretty, and easy to get to and park in the underground lot. I like that they have very technologically advanced dental tools that I never knew existed. There's usually another client or two being worked on when I visit, which personally makes me feel comfortable since there's activity in the space. Sometimes they call to ask you to come in slightly earlier or later, which is one thing they can do better - managing client time - so I try to not have any plans directly after my appointment. I've also had the pleasure of working with RDA Cristina and Serene He, the hygienist. Cristina is very practical and efficient, and Serene made my deep cleaning quite relaxing. Everyone here is very responsive to questions and concerns. Dental procedures are a huge source of anxiety for me, but I've felt at ease with the team at Park Place Dental of San Mateo. The front office team is also very nice, fun to work with, and transparent with insurance discussions. When I looked through my billing, their prices actually seem quite fair too, which you wouldn't think would be the case for this area (right next to a Whole Foods and stuff). Make sure you check to see if they have any promotions going on (first time visit, referral discount, etc). After your first visit, I love how you receive a goodie bag tailored to your needs. I got Colgate-sponsored mouthwash, floss, toothpaste, dark blue toothbrush, gum stimulator, and gum soft-picks. I've also received extra dental swag if I needed it after an appointment. I'm very happy I found a dental team I can trust here!

This is a longer review, but it's absolutely worth reading if you have the time…read more I'd like to start by sharing that I previously worked as a dental assistant. While I'm no longer in the field, I do have firsthand knowledge of dental practices and procedures--and I genuinely loved the work I did. Dr. Kim is truly exceptional. Having worked with many dentists, I can confidently say I have never seen the level of care, knowledge, patience, and compassion that Dr. Kim consistently provides to his patients. I found Dr. Kim while searching for a dentist for my elderly stepfather, who needed extensive dental work after decades of neglect. In his 70s, he hadn't seen a dentist in over 40 years and required full extractions in preparation for dentures. To complicate matters, he had recently suffered a heart attack, is on medications that make dental procedures more complex, and is not in the best overall health. From the very beginning, Dr. Kim took the time to truly understand my stepfather's situation--not just dentally, but medically as well. He approached his care with a thoughtful, conservative, and team-oriented mindset, which is not something you find with every dentist. Trust me when I say that. Although this has been a long and ongoing process, Dr. Kim continues to go above and beyond in ways that are far from typical. He personally follows up after hours, prioritizes continuity of care, and takes the time to thoroughly explain procedures to both patients and caregivers. He is always accessible for questions via calls, emails, or other communication, and he makes every patient feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. I truly cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kim. His level of dedication, communication, and willingness to take on complex cases is rare and deserves recognition. Had I known about him earlier, I may have stayed in the dental field because providers like him make such a meaningful difference. His office staff is equally wonderful--friendly, professional, and supportive--and the office itself is always clean, bright, and up to date. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kim to anyone looking for a dentist who is not only knowledgeable but also deeply compassionate and committed to patient care. I am incredibly grateful for everything he has done for my stepfather, especially for making him feel respected, understood, and comfortable throughout this journey. Thank you, Dr. Kim and team, for being one of the best dental practices I've ever experienced. Please understand I wished I could truly get across how amazing Dr Kim is and I hope him and his team sees this review and accepts the amount of gratitude I hold to them

I only got to see Dr. Konrad a handful of times before he retired but I can say that he was a…read morecompletely unremarkable dentist in the best possible way. I never had any remarks to make about him because he did everything anyone ever expects a dentist to do. He listened to your problem, took a look around, proposed a solution or two and told you how much each one was going to cost. If something he did didn't work out, he'd have you back to correct the problem. All very normal and fine and not something you run around talking about for any reason. Shortly after his farewell I had an old crown pop off while flossing. Not the end of the world but not something you want to leave for too long either so I set up an appointment with the new guy because I didn't feel like hunting around town for a new patient appointment. The crown was damaged but I didn't have $3K to blow on a new one so the new guy said he could re-cement the old one in and see how much longer it would last for $350, I said fine and we did just that. He seemed very ill-at-ease and awkward throughout the visit--like he really wanted to be anywhere else--but it was all over and done with soon enough. As with most crown placements, what feels okay in the chair after you've had your jaw wedged open for 20 minutes doesn't always feel okay once you go home and start actually chewing on it so some minor adjustments were necessary. I've never had any dentist in any town charge me for follow up adjustments immediately after they'd just glued the thing in, but new guy wanted another $150 for his five minutes after the grinding had been done. I wasn't in the mood to argue about it so I just paid and left but it's really been bugging me ever since. Especially considering the stoic, unconcerned attitude I had to push through just to get him to do his damn job. I get that he didn't make the crown so he might not feel any pressing need to guarantee someone else's work but it still just felt punitive and gross and he very clearly didn't want anything to do with me so I have little choice but to reciprocate the sentiment. Trust fund kids and other little emperors may very well have an altogether different experience than I did.

Dr. Wong and his crew are the best I've had (and I've had more than a few over the years including…read moremany years of orthodontics). The team was always friendly, knew how to work with my insurance, and did a great job with my cleanings, whitening, and any necessary tooth fixes. I started with Dr. Wong after another dentist (who shall remain nameless) told me that I needed a lot of work, including having my fillings replaced ("because they're old"). Suspecting the recommendation was a little odd, I asked for recommendations from my colleagues, who all seemed to go to Dr. Wong and had great experiences. That says a lot! From the start Dr. Wong developed a good rapport and never recommended any unnecessary treatments. We had more than a decade-long relationship of visits (including 4 cleanings per year!). I moved out of state and that's the only reason I'm unable to continue with him & his team, but I'd still be going given the great degree of confidence I have in him & his team. Thanks Dr. Wong and Team!

Dr. Wong whitened my dead tooth internally (2 visits) and in the last session sanded off the old bonding and made my teeth look so natural and perfect. Set me up with a warm neck rest and a movie while he worked and I could not have been happier. His staff are super sweet and helpful. Great experience overall!!
