I've been coming to EvoSmile Dental Practice for years and every visit reaffirms why I keep coming back. My most recent visit was for some restorative work with Dr. Ochev, and as always, the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The staff greeted me warmly the moment I walked in -- they genuinely make you feel at ease, which means a lot when you're in for dental work. Dr. Ochev is incredibly professional and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain everything clearly and making sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure. I barely felt a thing! The practice itself is spotless and equipped with modern technology, which gives you real confidence that you're in good hands. It's clear that Dr. Ochev and the whole team truly care about their patients' wellbeing, not just their teeth. If you're looking for a dentist you can trust for the long haul, look no further than EvoSmile. Highly recommend! read more

I've been going to Dr. Ochev since he's been in Marin. From the level of professionalism to the quality of the care and office facilities, five stars isn't high enough! Everything that they've done for me, including routine checkups and cleaning, fillings, Invisalign correction and crowns has been excellent. I couldn't recommend EvoSmile and Dr. Ochev and his wonderful staff more highly. How many people can honestly say that they enjoy every visit to their Dentist!? read more

About a year ago in 2025, I saw a hygienist here named Angelina who they say was a temp. I was a few minutes late that day, but I wasn't there to have my teeth cleaned - I just wanted the doc to check one spot where I was having sensitivity. I explained this to her, but Angelina started cleaning my teeth anyway and spraying water all over my face. At one point, she threw a napkin at me and said she didn't have time to be tidy because I was so late. She was being so aggressive and scary (giving Steve Martin in Little shop of Horrors vibes) that I finally decided it was time to leave. I asked her to stop and she said, "ok, bye, sir" (wtf - I'm a woman and not particularly masculine). It took me a year to decide to give them another chance. This time, a few weeks ago, I got a hygienist named Karen (of course). While she was poking around in my mouth, I winced slightly when she poked the gums behind my two front teeth. She asked if I was ok. I told her I was fine, but that I felt the sharp tool on my gums. Instead of saying, "oops, sorry!" or something innocuous, she instantly got defensive, saying she didn't touch my gums. Not the response you want from the person holding the sharp tools! She asked if I wanted her to numb my gums and I said, "no thanks". Instead of just continuing on with her work, she said, "Um, ok, because you seem a little ...". She didn't finish the sentence, but it was just odd - she was either projecting or trying to provoke a response. As she continued to be rude, I decided it wasn't worth my time to have someone who hates their job taking out their frustrations on my teeth and gums. I got up and left before it could get worse. I had a great dentist in the town where I used to live and there are many other dental practices in the same building as Evosmile. On my way out, I made an appointment with one of them. read more

Dr Ochev and his staff are friendly, professional, and very helpful when it comes to scheduling, educating, and making you feel comfortable. I used to despise going to the dentist but since finding his practice 3 years ago, I look forward to my visits. Keep up the good work! read more

If you're looking for a gentle dentist with state of the art equipment, helpful, efficient and friendly staff, and communicative chair side manner, meet Dr. Ochev! I've been coming here for about two years looking for a new dental home and 'moved in' to their office. Dedicated and caring, he has a good sense of humor, very down to earth and thorough. But not one to push services that aren't truly needed. And, he was willing to listen to, and take action to add a recycling box for dental aligners/Invisalign to the lobby! You can't put those into regular recycling! But you can here. Definitely a 10 on a scale of 1-5! One last detail - I appreciate a doctor who keeps themselves in shape too. He's a road biker who's done good fundraising doing difficult rides, so I give him credit! read more

I've been going to this office for a few years and after another terrific visit I've decided to leave a review. The office is very clean and modern. There are great views of the rolling hills from the chairs that makes it all very relaxing. The last several visits I've had Karen as a hygienist. She has a light, gentle touch. She does a great job explaining everything and gives super helpful advice. I know my mouth is challenging and I really appreciate the care that she gives it. I always leave excited to take better care of my teeth. Thank you Karen! It just feels like an all-star team of an office. The dental assistant, Yessi is awesome. And Dr. Ochev is a real pro. He always puts me an ease and makes me chuckle. I'm glad I found EVO Smile because now I don't ever have to think about switching offices again. read more

I had a concern with one of my implants among some others. The office had an opening, I thought it would be an evaluation.

Unfortunately, with my bad gums, old veneers and implants I need a good dentist, and found a great one! His staff at the front office is helpful and a delight. read more

Dr. Ochev is a great dentist and a caring person. He goes above and beyond to provide the best care for the patient.

Truly outstanding first visit. I recently changed dentists after 15 years to Dr. Ochev at EVO Smile. It was a good move. My last dentist started charging crazy COVID fees per visit in addition to their already high prices. Having finally switched, I wish I had made the switch sooner. EVO Smile is quite up-to-date with all of their equipment and practices. Kind of shocked me how behind the times my former dentist was which I thought highly of until recently. EVO is about as state-of-the-art as it gets. From the waiting room to the dental rooms and in between were super clean. Something you really want to see at your dentist office, especially during COVID. Not to harp on about my previous dentist but the differences I noticed at EVO Smile really stood out comparatively. Just they way they made sure that everything they touched was always clean. My former dentist did not make those efforts which I know are hard but come on, it needs to be done. Everything I experienced on my first visit was fantastic. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly, personable, professional, on time and the visit was completely pain free. Dr. Ochev is amazing and so are all of the staff that are working here under some pretty tough conditions/restrictions. If you're looking for a new dentist, please consider EVO Smile. I couldn't recommend them any more highly. read more

Igor Ochev, DDS - EvoSmile - Reception area at EVO Smile - General Dentistry Near Me - San Rafael, California

I've been a long time patient with EvoSmile. Regular care has kept major dental work to a minimum, but I needed a crown replaced. Dr. Ochev and his assistant Yessie did an excellent job of keeping me comfortable. The whole procedure took a short time and I am always fascinated by the high-tech innovations. Shout out to Nancy who takes care of the front desk with warmth and efficiency. Great place, great vibes, great care. read more

Great experience at EvoSmile. Online scheduling and check-in were a breeze, and everything was very efficient. Dr Ochev was very personable, thorough and knowledgeable. Had a cleaning with Karen, who was also great, and really took her time to do a thorough job. Nancy at the front was also very personable and helpful for scheduling and any billing questions. I would recommend EvoSmile to anyone. read more

I've been a patient for a few years now and am extremely satisfied. The staff is warm, helpful, and professional. Dr. Ochev is highly knowledgeable and stays up to date on the latest procedures and technological advancements. He thoroughly explains what is needed, what he's doing, and why. And his chair-side manner is affable and personable. I also appreciate that, unlike some dentists he doesn't "churn" to generate more dental work that could be done, but is not a pressing necessity. He was recently quite generous in an anomalous situation where we both agreed a compromise was in order. The entire team works seamlessly together, creating a comfortable and efficient environment. I always leave impressed by the quality of care and with a good feeling about the visit. I highly recommend EvoSmile to anyone in need of dental care! read more

Dr. Ochev is extremely concientious, careful, and an expert in his field. I was also treated with thoughtfulness and care by his receptionist, Nancy. EvoSmile comes highly recommended and praised by the Pacific Sun 2023. read more
