I chipped a front tooth and wanted to get it repaired quickly. My experience with Franklin Dental Group matched the stellar reviews posted on Yelp. The front desk was friendly and efficient and got me in within a day. Dr. Kevin Drowney and his assistant, Marina, did a superb job in making the composite repair. My tooth looks better than ever! I am very pleased with the results. read more

I had such an amazing experience at this dental office! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and genuinely cared for. Angelica and Melanie were both incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout my visit. They made sure I understood everything, answered all my questions, and constantly checked in to make sure I was comfortable. Their warm, positive energy truly made a difference and helped ease any nerves I had walking in. Dr. Patterson was absolutely wonderful. He made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease, especially since dental visits can sometimes be nerve-wracking. He took his time, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt safe and relaxed the entire time. You can tell he truly cares about his patients. I'm so grateful for such a professional, compassionate team. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for quality care in a welcoming and supportive environment! read more

Always available, comprehensive dental care, relatively painless. Have seen both dentists and hygienists and recommend both.

State of the art tech, the scanner instantly made a 3D rendering of my teeth. Kim was cool! read more

I am a new patient of Dr. Patterson's office. I wanted to pass along the wonderful experience I had from working with the front desk, the dental hygienist, the assistants and Dr. Patterson. Last month I had a dental cleaning and a crown procedure. The dental hygienist left my teeth sparkling. Dr. Patterson flawlessly, meticulously, and painlessly performed a dental crown procedure over two visits. Throughout the crown Dr. Patterson clearly communicated what to expect during each step. As well his calm demeanor assuaged my fears of getting a crown! I am so glad that I had this work done by this dental practice! Each person I met along the way was a long-term employee. A testament to a well-run office. I highly recommend Dr. Patterson and this office. What a great find! read more

I have now been seeing Dr Patterson for 8 years and he really is the Best!. All the hygienists are so thorough and patient while they clean my teeth and they check in about any sensitivities. Christine did a great job! Dr Patterson always takes time and never seems rushed, even though he is very popular. When I retired I lost my dental insurance, but they have an in house plan that helps a lot. Today, I had a thorough cleaning, a few X-rays and a check up with Dr Patterson, and I was not charged anything because of their dental plan. I highly recommend this dentist! read more

Literally the best dental experience I've ever had! Everyone was wonderful from the dental hygienist to the person taking x rays to the dentist. I'm definitely coming back! read more

I needed a crown to replace dental work done by a previous dentist. The two visits I had with Dr. Patterson to achieve this were painless and highly skilled. On the first visit, after 2 hours in the chair, I wasn't even sore after walking out with a temporary crown. I was surprised and happy. Before this treatment, Dr. Patterson explained why I needed a crown and answered all of my questions. He is friendly, calm, patient and highly skilled. He's terrific. The assistants for both visits were also excellent. I've been going to this office for decades and the staff has always been friendly. 5 stars! read more

Went it for an Endodontic appt but was made aware they did not have a Dr in that specialty in the office. I wishe the secretary had told me about it but in the end I got to meet Dr Pattereson who took the time to discuss my issue, and was very instructive on what to do and who to see. I very much appreciated his attention. Although I did not use their service per se. There is no parking , it is street parking 2 hrs max. from 8am. read more

Been coming here for years and always have the best hygienists and both dentists in the office are so caring and thorough. It's been hard to find a good dentist and i'm so happy with Franklin Dental read more

I was greeted politely by Angelica the front desk and seen by Patterson. I felt like he asked all the right questions and gave me feedback on what needs to be done and what steps to do to get where I need to be with my dental health. My cleaning was thorough and pain free although suffering from inflamed gums. When my appointment was over Angelica kindly made my next appointment to fit around my schedule and explained to me what my next visit will Intel. Definitely recommend this office and was impressed with my visit. read more

Two excellent doctors to choose from makes scheduling seamless at this modern office. read more

Cleanings, fillings, Invisalign? Dr.V is your man! I've been seeing Dr.V for over 2 years now and let me tell you, he's seriously the best. I had a really bad dental experience prior to seeing Dr.V, so I already was anxious about coming in. Not only is he super personable and talented, but his calm demeanor keeps you feeling safe from beginning to end. He basically gave my set of teeth the ultimate glow-up! 1. Refilled all of my old fillings 2. Regular cleanings 3. Currently has me on Invisalign :) Aside, from him - love, love, love his staff and his assistant Jojo. They are so welcoming and professional. Space is VERY clean and you can tell they run a tight ship which is very helpful during this pandemic. Thank you Dr.V and Franklin dental group! read more

Office setting is clean, and comfortable. The front desk staff, Mel, Jackquelyn, and Angelica are all extremely helpful with scheduling future appointments. Dr. Patterson has been working with me on Invisalign treatment, and he has been awesome! Thank you to all the staff for your welcoming hospitality. read more

Insightful advice from both doctors. Nadine is an excellent hygienist. Friendly and helpful front desk. Organized and well-equipped practice. The doctors' understanding (both have the same opinion) of the long-term situation (with compelling reasoning and explanation) was different from decades of earlier diagnoses, which I got overseas. The doctors have proposed convincing strategic long-term care options without any pressure, which is both useful and nice. The practice was purchased from a retired dentist about 10 years ago. So it has been around for a long time. The new dentists are experienced and friendly. The space was recently renovated. They have 3-D imaging and X-Ray facilities. Medical, billing and appointments are all managed by, what appears to be, an integrated computer system, and it feels like everyone is well-informed and organized. They bill my dental insurance directly and then charge me for any difference. I am very happy to recommend this practice! read more

Very caring doctor Patterson explained the options to me and my mother, and discussed what to expect down the line given the complications from the adjacent teeth. read more

The staff is wonderful. Everyone is so caring and understanding. The hygienist and doctor were very gentle. You'll feel fully taken care of at home here. Everything was also explained to me very well. read more

Best dentists in the marina! Very thorough and left feeling great about my teeth. Their staff is great and very helpful.

Could've sworn I wrote a review already years ago but this is hands down my favorite dental office. I started coming here in 2014 and stayed with them until now because every encounter has been transparent, caring and quick. Dr. Patterson has always been detailed and patient in going through updates or any work that needs to be done. When they changed insurance coverage he told me months ahead to prepare. Especially in times of stress such as a recent emergency floss situation, they were able to accommodate me quickly. Their dental assistants are kind and knowledgeable as well. And if you're concerned about going to the dentist during covid - Their precautions for covid is the most thorough of all my friends' dentists. I would recommend them to any friend and/or family. Can't go wrong with this team! read more

Amazing staff and facility. My appointments always start on time. Highly recommended!

I have have been coming to Franklin Dental for the last few years. Dr Growney and Dr Patterson have been great! Highly recommend

My husband and I have been using this dental practice since we moved to SF 6 years ago. Dr Patterson is a skilled dentist with a wonderful "chair-side) manner. His staff is welcoming and wonderfully attentive to patients. The dental care that both my husband and I have received has been flawless. Strongly recommended! read more

I started going here after my previous dentist retired about ten years ago. To my delight I found the best dentist I every had! The staff is professional, courteous, and friendly. Dr. Growney has done a lot, and I mean a lot of work on my teeth. It's been the best experience I ever had at a dentist. read more

I had a really good experience. Dental appointments really scare me and I have a bit of anxiety and usually prepare for the worst. Randy was super professional and guided me through the process start to finish. He made sure to find an appointment for me promptly and get me in with the specialist next day. Dr. Lee was very kind, calm and thorough. She gave me advice on the issue, made sure my prescriptions fit my preferences and kept my anxiety down to a low. The dental assistant (I don't remember her name :( ) was also super kind and professional. Thank you for all your help! read more

PATIENTS BEWARE: FRAUDULENT BILLING PRACTICES!!! AVOID THIS DENTAL PRACTICE AT ALL COSTS!!!!!! I've been going there for 18 months, and they have demonstrated a pattern of engaging in fraudulent billing practices. In October 2022, they made me pay a co-pay for my cleaning. I later found out that my dental insurance covers 100% of preventive services. My account was showing a credit balance, but they did not refund me automatically. Rather, I had to figure this out on my own and ask for a refund on my credit card. They were unable to do so, and I had to wait for them to cut a paper check. When I went in for a cleaning a few weeks ago, they tried to do the same exact thing. I told them to bill my insurance, and sure enough, it was 100% covered (which they can easily check on their end). I went in on 10/31 for a few fillings. They told me my co-pay was $250. When my insurance processed the claim, my co-pay was only $176, so they overcharged me by $74. Of course, I have yet to hear from them and had to check this on my own. They also charge a 4% fee for paying by credit card, despite it being their preferred payment method. Time for me to find a new dentist! read more

Today was my first visit and I have never had a better experience with a dental office. From the initial phone call to the actual appointment everything was easy and made me feel so comfortable. Everyone at the front desk was friendly and knowledgable. Highly recommend! read more

Best experience at a dentist office ever. I finally don't stress about dental appointments. Everyone is friendly , professional, and organized, so there is minimal, if any, waiting. Dr. Patterson is positive and friendly and actually makes me feel good about my teeth. He encourages rather than criticizes and fully explains what he is doing (before and after all procedures). He has needed to repair work done by a previous dentist that was never comfortable and the difference is amazing. My teeth have never felt so good. He's a really nice positive person. Even when I have been critical of a past dentist's work, he has never said a negative thing. He just finds solutions to the problems and fixes them. I've been a patient for over five years and wish I had found this practice sooner. I highly recommend Dr. Patterson and the rest of the staff. read more

My first time at this office was great! They offer easy parking access which is great since it's San Francisco. But Nadine took care of me the whole time and it was a fairly quick experience compared to other dental offices I've been to. Jaqueline, at the front desk, was also very friendly and welcoming. Really great customer service & attention to patients! read more

Just completed a visit for my first appointment with Dr. Patterson. I had a wonderful experience. There was 0 wait (possibly due to improved scheduling for COVID). The X-ray technician was super nice and empathetic. Dr. Patterson took the time to review my X-rays with me and give me insight into what he was looking at (and looking for) in a way no other dentist has. They even had availability for same day cleaning. Excellent visit and looking forward to returning in 6 months. read more

Since living in SF I have chose Franklin Dental each time I have needed a dentist appointment. All of the doctors, hygienists, and staff have all been really nice and caring about my dental health. read more

Just had my first visit at Franklin Dental Group and it went great! Randy guided me through everything from the online intake forms to check in. Throughout this, I felt that everything was handled professionally and with kindness and understanding. The front desk staff (shoutout to Randy!) were wonderful. When they called my name, I immediately felt at ease when I met JoJo, the dental hygienist/assistant. She was awesome. Dr. Villavecer was also great, very thorough, and answered all my questions. I have to go back in a month to get some work done and I'm optimistic that I'm in good hands. read more

The dental team here is amazing! They are so kind and take the time to explain everything in detail and in a way that makes sense to their patients. Their space is also beautiful! Would absolutely recommend. read more

Never written a yelp review before, and never thought my first one would be for a dental office, but I want my recommendation for Franklin Dental to be out there for people looking for a new dental office! Scheduling cleanings is easy and convenient and their COVID protocols make me feel very safe. I also did invisalign through Franklin dental. After completing my full set of 10 trays, one stubborn tooth was not cooperating and wouldn't move where we needed it to be. Dr. Patterson took new impressions of my teeth and we ordered 10 more sets of trays - I didn't pay a DIME for these extra trays!!! Couldn't believe it. Once that tooth moved to where it was supposed to be, he also performed a gum procedure where he used a laser to make my gums more symmetric (I wouldn't have ever known this was a thing) which made ALL THE DIFFERENCE with my smile! This non invasive procedure was super easy, not painful at all, and healed quickly and painlessly. read more

Great experience, great care! Will be coming back for cleanings and fillings in the future.

I'm never going to another dentist in San Francisco! I had a filling done elsewhere that was really bothering me with sensitivity. Dr. Michael Villavecer immediately offered a quick fix to remove and re-solidify the filling; he was insanely thorough, numbed the area effectively, and sent me on my way. For the first time ever he PERSONALLY followed up with me a few hours later via his personal number to make sure everything was feeling ok, and that the sensitivity was gone. Thank you again!! read more

I wish I could give Franklin Dental TEN stars, because if I could I would! The staff and physicians do a phenomenal job, while being especially cognizant of the current challenges COVID-19 presents! This says a lot coming from me, a fellow medical professional, who really scrutinizes the hand hygiene and sterile techniques of others in the medical setting. I want to give a big shout out to Dr Patterson for taking the time to always explain his plan of care in advance. And to my hygienist, Nadine, who always remembers to ask me about my pets! She's always patient and extremely thorough. Thank you for SIX years of exceptional care!! read more

I've been with Dr. Patterson for over 8 years and he and his staff go above and beyond. Dr. Patterson is an excellent dentist and gives great/easy to follow recommendations. They've always made everything so seamless from appointment scheduling and rescheduling to the appointments themselves. They also run a very tight ship, getting people in and out efficiently. Could not recommend this group more highly! read more

Franklin Dental Group is great! I highly recommend. They are reasonable and conservative with their approach and super Friendly. The office is clean and I have always had a positive experience here! read more

Me and my husband have been going to Franklin Dental for over 10 years and it has been a great experience for all of this time. They always keep us on track with out 6 months cleaning appointments and they are very proactive if we have any issues with your teeth. Like last time I went to see Dr Growny they noticed that my gums were bleeding a lot and that I have more cavity than usual (yes, they know my teeth by now!), so before asking me to buy stuff to help me deal with those issues they gave me a new oral oral solution to try (please note that it was not a small sample size) and they gave me a new floss to try (Coco Floss). This cocofloss has more texture to it than a floss I used before that would just glide through my teeth and not pick anything. Unlike other flosses with more texture this one doesn't fall apart into individual threads when you clean your whole mouth. So I don't have to go for extra floss. To sum it up: great place, great people (all people: the dentists, the assistants, the office) and great service. read more
