I completely agree with Amy B's review. I experienced the same things…read more * I posted a review before, but I do not know where it went so I am reposting. I was a patient for a few years. The short version is: I suggest you find better care elsewhere. * UPSELLING: If you feel like your being upsold you probably are. Is it appropriate to upsell a patient when they are already in the chair? I think not. Example: While being prepped for a crown, which means my tooth is being grinded down so it can fit a crown, he suggested he could save more tooth if he did a different type of covering instead of a crown. He recommended it while I was in the chair with apparatus in my mouth and I foolishly agreed, because I should have had more details. Then before I leave, I find out that the "suggested procedure" is $750 more around $2,200, versus $1,450 for a crown. A critical fact he did not mention while I was in the chair. He neglected to mention the significant price difference. *Now I am stuck, because he did not shape the tooth to fit the crown, he shaped it for this more expensive procedure. So if I wanted the crown I would have to be prepped again. Completely misleading upsell, while in a compromising position. I should have stopped seeing him right then and found a dentist to put in a crown. I reluctantly went through with the procedure, but knew I would not see him again. It was the final straw. * He should have explained the potential options and costs upfront; not during the preparation or after the preparation in my case. * Numerous times he has tried to upsell me in the chair (e.g. gels, fluoride) whatever. Do the math. If he can do that 50% of the time throughout the year it adds a significant amount to his bottom line. But is it necessary? * I am convinced the upsells and some procedures after speaking with two other dentists were not necessary. * Inappropriate comment: Per Amy B review: I am a guy and I was offended when he made a comment about women using the P word. Not appropriate. Amy B is right. Good ole boy mentality. It was inappropriate and not professional and another huge reason not to go back. * Also I found his office to be dirty, compared to other dental offices. * He did not seem to have a receptionist many times I went there. * In closing you can find a better dentist and or a more professional one. Ask all your friends if they absolutely love there dentist and hopefully you will find a great one. * I am thrilled I never went back and feel dumb I stayed as long as I did. I should have listen to my sixth sense. "Yes you are being upsold. Go some place else."

Disclosure: I haven't been to the office for dental work but the initial phone call with Dr Zabek…read morewas so weird that I canceled my scheduled appt soon after (I didn't feel comfortable just hanging up/canceling during the phone call so I emailed afterwards to do so). Echoes what Amy B said previously (https://www.yelp.com/biz/gregory-zabek-advanced-general-and-cosmetic-dentistry-san-francisco-2?hrid=-aDGwo_4NQwYO_rFb8R3Wg&utm_campaign=www_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct)) Some weird things he said to me, an Asian female: - "I like the way you say my name" after I called him Zah-beck instead of Zay-beck - "Take care hon" after literally talking to him for 5 mins - "Please don't mind if I call you Ash because my friend whose actual name is Ashley goes by Ash" In the moment I tried to brush it off as he just seems like an old boomer but it's 2022 and I'm tired of dealing with old white men being weird and "friendly"

Dr Madill did all of his own cleaning, had nitrous gas for phobic patients & referred me to Darren Machule a superb endodontist at Union Square Endodontics. All of the endodontists there are wonderful. If you need a root canal, that's the place to go. How I wish that Thomas Madill was still working. He was one of a kind. He even came downtown to see me for an emergency appointment at 7am on a Saturday. I've never had a dentist or doctor who was so dedicated. Enjoy your retirement Dr Madill. I'm in so much pain right now & so wish you were still working but you deserve to travel and enjoy your beautiful family. I know you had another root canal specialist who may have been less expensive but I don't remember the name of the service. I didn't think to get all of my records from you but I guess it's too late now. Thank you for your many years of gentle teeth cleaning and all of your hard work.

He is the best dentist out there, he's very gentle with the procedures and he will caution you when there is danger present. I recommend Dr. Hoedt 100% because he's cool and super professional. Probably the best Dr or Dentist I've ever visited. The staff is also very good and professional.

10/09/18 Update:…read more Yep, it's 11 years since I last reviewed Dr Kevin Barry is he is *still* my dentist. It's been nearly 20 years now since he started taking care of my pearly whites. Last night I got home and cried on my boyfriend's shoulder over the bad bad bad news all around the world. As if the American political climate weren't bad enough, Brazil, where I'm from, is about to elect a man for president who models himself after our 45th president. I was upset. Then I managed to break my front tooth crown. Don't ask. It was the last thing I needed, for sure. So I descended on Dr. Barry at 7:30 this morning, unannounced and without an appointment. And what did he do? He had me on a chair in five minutes. By 9:15 I had a temporary crown that looks so good; nobody can tell it's a crown, let alone temporary. His amazing staff then sent me on my way to the lab where they were going to make my permanent crown so they can match the color of my teeth just so. They had made an appointment for me at 10. It is less than 15 hrs since I broke the crown, and I'm eating lunch, happy and relieved, thanks to Dr. Barry and his staff. They take great pride in their work and in providing excellent, far above average service; and this is why they will be taking care of my teeth until I die. 12/12/07 Review: If you're afraid of going to the dentist, fear no more. Dr. Barry is not just good. He's an artist. He's the rockstar of dentistry. And his staff is every bit as good as he is. They've been working there forever, too; which tells me that it's a great place to work - that, right there, says a lot. I've been going to Dr. Barry for 7 or 8 years. From Whitney and Melody at the front desk (nicest, friendliest people), through Patty, who has been cleaning my teeth while keeping me entertained all this time, all the way to Dr. Barry, who actually gets excited about fixing your teeth, they all get a 10 from me. I swear this man was born a dentist. When I tell people to go there, I have fun telling them to pick out which of my front teeth is the fake one. They can't tell. This clinic could only do better if they were walking distance to my house. Alas, nobody is perfect. Go see Dr. Barry. Your search for a good dentist will be over; you will never have to search again.

Did I mention that I love my dentist? That every time I leave happy?…read more I do and I do. Case in point - once upon a time the good doctor removed my wisdom teeth (now it all makes sense, yes?). The remaining two teeth, actually, as I was previously so wise I elected to have the first two removed in grad school and saved the others to have extracted some time in the future. I remember vaguely through the haze of the anesthetic that I had the best dentist ever. The happiness endured even after the procedure was finished. Apparently on my way out I bought a fake diamond stud for my ear in the jewelry store downstairs. Apparently I was on such a cloud nine instead of taking me home my ride elected to treat me to the O'Farrell. I have a fuzzy memory of watching a shower show in my pajama bottoms. With my cheeks full of cotton. Drooling a little more than the fellow at the table to my left. Those were the days. On my return visit the jewelry store was happy to take the earring back, even though they have a policy of no returns on things you stick in your ear. They said the day before I was very, very high, and they were pretty sure that what I had procured would not suit my fancy once I came down. They were so right. Five stars to them. I've been faithful to Dr. Mohn. Not that he gives me any reason to not be. Anecdotes aside, he's been there for me when I needed him. He cares and is caring. He's reasonably priced. His staff are professional, friendly, and a joy to hang out with. Need a good dentist? Check out Dr. Mohn. Getting an extraction? Give me a call. I'll pick you up after. We'll go to a show.
