Sadly, after nine years, I'm no longer going to be a patient of Dr. Evans…read more It was difficult to find a dentist when I left the former one; and this is even tougher due to insurance. Dentists no longer want to work with certain insurance companies, and it puts their patients aka customers in a difficult situation. I've been satisfied with the majority of the work I've had done here and will let them keep the five stars. The care here is top notch, everyone is courteous, kind, and gentle. It is my hope that Dr. Evans and his staff continue to prosper. Thanks for nine years of great dental treatment and being so very flexible with a payment plan.

Recently I asked a San Rafael Only Facebook group about that dentist who tortured me as a kid. The post got so many horror stories! He should have lost his job he was so awful. So I wasn'the - only one with an awful phobia re: dental work! For decades when hearing the word "dentist" I'd break out in cold sweats & shakes all over. I had tried others but I left each one feeling scared, upset & in terrible pain I got a recommdation to see Dr Evans from a close friend & wow! He & the endodontist At EndoArt he worked with were beyond amazing! They both did their jobs perfectly, both offices are good settings, & I finally could get important dental work I'd held back from doing for so long! Great communication, my teeth looked and felt like they should, after some 30 years! ​No cold sweats, shaking or other problems I encountered in the past. Now my financial situation isn't good, but I can't imagine having such an experience as I had with Dr Evans & EndoArt. - The professional he worked with, with anyone else. I've got new problems that need attention & I'll do almost anything to get my teeth back in the excellent shape that Dr Evans & EndoArt got them in. I've been carefully brushing & flossing like before - my whole adult life, but they really need much more of that attention now. Badly. I just had to leave a truthfully glowing review that I'd forgotten to do a few years ago. The staff was also excellent at both locations. I'm able to write all this without feeling sick! I pray I can get my teeth back in shape because I think a couple might be worse...seriously worse So I'm hoping that something will come up. I hope to leave another glowing review in the next few months. Thank you for proving that not all dentists & endodontist are terrible! With much gratitude. Sincerely, Victoria JD

I finally found one under my dental insurance, it is in Novato, after signing all sort of documents ( also including " not allowed to share my opinion in social media"). This dental group said I need deep clean!? What? And they were being very pushy. They wanted me to sign a 3-deep clean treatments contract. I was not allowed to get a copy if I don't sign a paper said "I acknowledge it. ". There is no way brushing 2 times a day, flossing every night still needs a deep clean. In doubt, I searched dental care in Petaluma. Lucky me, found Dr. Lester. Without insurance, I paid $150. Got x rays, evaluation, and thorough checking , Dr. Lester said I am good to get a dental clean, deep clean is not necessary at all. The hygienist, sweet Debbie was shock that my previous doctor's evaluation in May. She said in her 39 years of experience that there is no way I need deep clean. She took her time to explain all my questions . She said I don't have much plaque or deposit between my teeth. Constantly she asked me if there is any discomfort or any other issue. Walk out with detailed clean and buffed shiny teeth! Happy!

I feel so sad for the sweet Dr. Anastasia Lester. She must not be aware that Debbie the hygienist…read moreis so inappropriate in so many different levels. She is condescending, rude and a total "Karen"! An epitome of a horrible dental hygienist. She started sweet but fake. One of those type, you can tell she will explode in a drop of a pin. I warned her about my sensitivity and she began her "Karen" attitude when I started feeling the pain. She asked me in a condescending sweet fake voice "so, what did your dentist do to clean your teeth when you act like that?" While I was uncomfortably twitching due to the pain of my extremely sensitive teeth. I replied, "my previous dentist gives me anesthesia and proceeds" she said, " well I can't do that, and, who's your old dentist? Is it a private practice?" Why would she give you anesthesia all for the whole mouth? Your tongue will not have any movement. I am thinking, ok, so, she's a dentist she knows what's she's doing. Why am I explaining this to you? She is just oozing with negativity and I started feeling so uncomfortable. Never in my living years of going to the dentist I felt so bad that I had to literally jump out of the chair and wanting to run as fast as I can away from this person. I am flabbergasted at this point. Is that question even relevant? Who is my dentist? Is it a private practice? She started blaming her incompetence on me. Told me she have to cut my session into two parts because I can't sit still and I have severe plaque etc. my old dentist has 5-6 hygienist who are all capable of handling my situation of extreme sensitivity and heavy accumulation of plaque etc without being rude and condescending. She repeatedly continues to say that it's my fault she had to be this way. She told me to take an anti anxiety pill because my stress level is way too high And that the doctor will prescribe me medication and I have to go to a pharmacy to pick it up and come back. It's the last appointment of the day by the way. This woman is nuts. When I told her that my previous dentist in Fremont is a well known top notch dentist. She cut me off by saying "anyway, I have 40 years experience" so, irrelevant. Why is she working her? Who hired this woman? Are people just lucky that they have not encountered her bad behavior. She asks questions and if she doesn't like the answer she retaliates with rudeness. I also scheduled my son's appointment an hour after my estimated time. My son was running late and the front desk manager Laura asked me to call him. When Debbie the "Karen" hygienist came back she told me. Did you read the sign no phones allowed? I said I saw that, but Laura told me to call my son. Then she stood closely with a weird hovering psycho attitude I was forced to hand my phone to one of the dental assistants. The experience is just so off and disgusting. She dragged the doctor back in and presented me with a bill of how much it will cost and still have not began anything and when she did. She splattered a numbing liquid on my tongue which caused more unpleasant feelings. I told her I want to go and she changed her voice from psycho to psychotic times 20 fake concern voice. "Have you not have a numbing cream given to you before?" I said I have but not like how you gave it to me, burning my tongue!" Laura tried to book me again for a new session with Dr. Lester. As I drove away. I feel so bad and embarrassed for this person's behavior. I will just pay someone else that's much more deserving. Bad employee ruins businesses. So bad So sad Poor Dr. Anastasia Lester I feel bad for her for having Debbie on her team.
