Our entire family has been seeing Dr. Hing for many years, and we truly cannot say enough wonderful…read morethings about his practice. From the moment you walk in, the office feels peaceful, spotless, and welcoming. It honestly feels more like walking into a spa than a dental office! Instead of feeling nervous about a dental visit, I actually feel completely at ease. Dr. Hing has a rare gift of making patients feel incredibly cared for and informed. He takes the time to thoroughly explain every treatment option before beginning anything, which builds so much trust and confidence. You never feel rushed, and you always feel like he genuinely cares about you as a person, not just as a patient. His entire staff reflects the same kindness and professionalism. If you're someone who tends to feel intimidated about going to the dentist, this is absolutely the place to go. Dr. Hing is incredibly skilled and genuinely caring, I highly recommend him!

I cannot recommend St. Francis Dentistry highly enough. Dr. Hing is exceptional: thoughtful,…read moremeticulous, and genuinely kind in a way that immediately puts you at ease. From the moment you walk in, the entire practice feels calm, professional, and incredibly well-run. Dr. Hing takes the time to explain everything clearly, without rushing, and approaches treatment with both precision and care. What stood out most was the level of attention to detail and the emphasis on patient comfort; nothing ever felt transactional or hurried. This has been especially important with our two young children (three and eight). The staff are equally warm and efficient, and the office itself is spotless and welcoming. It's rare to find a dental practice that combines clinical excellence with such a reassuring, human touch. If you're looking for a family dentist in San Francisco who is both highly skilled and genuinely attentive, St. Francis Dentistry is outstanding.

I recently relocated to SF from Fresno post divorce (Trust me IT's A GOOD THING), and need to…read moreestablish care with a new dentist. So, As usual, where do I search? Yelp, of course... DUH. Anyhow, I scheduled a cleaning and went. There I was greeted by Dr. Maritza Merejo, a diminutive human with colossal skills. I was expecting a hygienist for the cleaning, but she did it herself! I found that perplexing and satisfying at once. She was very gentle and gave me a lot of good tips in regard to brushing and flossing. Did you know there is good brushing/flossing and also TOO MUCH??? I didn't, I guess I was overzealous on certain teeth and she saw it!!! She also had this cool tool with the X-Ray which utilized AI to point out areas of interest. (first time for me) Thankfully none of my interesting areas were cavities. Just some cracks and whatnot... I went back about a week later to fix a chip I've had on my front tooth for a minute and whatever she did, a composite of sorts, has stayed intact! Surprising to me because it tends to chip! Long story short, if you are in the Mission Terrace/Glen Park area, and need some tooth stuff, I highly recommend Precision Dental Care. You can tell Dr. Merejo... Ed, the nurse sent you!

Our family has been coming to Dr. Tanega for years. He's always taken care of us and has never…read morerecommended anything unnecessary like other Dentists do. Highly recommended.
