Dr Chiu is. Great dentist - caring, understanding, and takes time to explain and educate. He has a very conservative approach, which I appreciate. The office staff is always extremely nice and makes office visits a welcoming and relaxing experience. read more

BEWARE!! ASK AND CHECK YOUR COVERAGE FIRST! The cleaning and exam was great, don't get me wrong... But the front office staff could do much better. I've been going to this dental office for years. Dr. Chiu took over the existing dental practice. It was my first visit there and was not informed that Dr. Chiu was an "out of network" dentist. My visit included an exam, cleaning and x-rays. I was so surprised when they asked to pay $505 at the end of my visit. These services are usually fully covered by Delta Dental. When I asked about the amount, the front office staff then said that they were "out of network" and I needed to pay for today's visit now. They can submit the claim with Delta and Delta will reimburse a portion of the bill to me in a couple of weeks. The reimbursement check was only for $214. I am responsible for $291! In the past, my visits were fully covered! I feel so frustrated. If I had known, I would have gone somewhere else! Time to search for a new dentist! read more

*New location* Dr. Ryan Chiu recently moved locations and is now at the ground floor of 3010 Clement Street. Compared to the previous location, this office is so lush and accessible. No stairs. Walk right in. Everything you need. A beautiful garden view, gentle breeze, purified air, clean bathroom, kind staff, and more. My appointment was in the morning and I found street parking around the block. read more

I chose this clinic because it's near my home. Dr. Ryan personally treated me. He is a true professional, providing excellent consultation and offering different types of fillings. The procedure was painless, and when I mentioned I sometimes feel pain, Ryan added more anesthetic, making the whole process relaxed. I definitely recommend it. The price is reasonable! read more

I recently came back for my half year check up and this time I was a little more worried than usual. One of my teeth was being more sensitive than usual and I noticed some black spots on my other teeth. My dental hygienist was extremely nice and careful around my sensitive tooth, making sure to tell me that if I felt any pain to let her know. I also had to do a full mouth x-ray and in my memory as a child, x rays are one of the most painful things you can do at a dentist. Perhaps with my grown-up mouth and grown-up pain resistance, the x ray did not feel that bad at all. After the clean up, I talked with Dr. Chiu who provided me an action plan around my sensitive teeth and told me to update him on my teeth. Also, the black spots on my teeth were NOT cavities, rather just staining. Thank goodness, another year and no cavities! read more

The best dentist ever! I love Dr. Chiu sooo much, he is so nice and makes you feel so comfortable and informed! Even though I moved to NYC I still come back to sf to see Dr. Chiu for my dental appointments. read more

My dentist retired whom I have seen over 30 years since I was a teenager and sold his practice. I came to Dr. Ryan Chiu from a friend's referral. I feel he listens and gives his honest opinion and advice without being pushy. He wouldn't do something or recommend something he himself did not feel he would do. That is a plus! His office staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The only thing I need getting use to is the hygienist doing the teeth cleaning instead of the dentist when I was use to the dentist doing the cleaning who spoiled me for years . So far, a happy client ! read more

I was referred to Dr. Chiu by my former dentist who sold his practice and retired. I've hated going to dentists all my life, rarely having a good experience. I worried about finding a new one because I was so comfortable with mine. The referral was given to me a while ago, but I was very hesitant to call. I finally made the call and was able to schedule an appointment before the COVID shutdown. I had nothing to fear, both Drs. Chiu and his son, Ryan are amazing. They are professional, approachable, welcoming and made me feel very comfortable as a new patient. They explained everything so thoroughly and asked if I had any questions and reviewed my dental care strategies--what to be aware of and preventative measures. Having been treated by both, they really do go the extra mile for patient care. Even their dental hygienist was extremely thorough and made sure I was comfortable during my teeth cleaning. Post COVID reopening, they do take patient precautions, prior to each visit you must complete a COVID questionnaire, a mask must be worn, and your temperature is taken before entering. They request that you don't wait in the patient waiting room and the chairs have been removed--although there is seating available for patients in need. Once in the office, your personally belongings are bagged, and you have to wash your hands. I appreciate all the care they go into doctor/patient safety. I am really happy that I made the call and can gladly say that I am a patient of their office. I cannot say enough about their practice; I highly recommend them if you are looking for a dentist. read more

Love Dr Chiu's office! Drs Peter Chiu and Ryan Chiu are both top notch dentists from top notch universities. They are honest, caring, and are experts in dental work. What sets them apart is their conservative approach, focusing on preserving natural teeth for as long as possible. Over the past several decades, I've felt incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Chiu and his team caring for my family. In a dental landscape often motivated by financial considerations, Dr. Chiu's office stands out as a rare gem. Here, as a patient, you genuinely feel like their top priority. Highly recommend this exceptional practice! read more

I've been going to Dr. Chiu since I was 4 years old! My family of 5 would make the trek out from the East Bay to SF just to know we were in the right hands. Throughout the years the service, diligence, and extraordinary service have remained consistent and reliable. From the hygienists to the front desk staff, the experience has always been positive. Getting your teeth cleaned is not fun, but if you are gonna have to do it- you want it done correctly by people who care. Dr. Chiu is a true professional with an eye for detail and someone that is willing to be frank and honest with you. I've had teeth removed, braces, etc.- and with his guidance I've never been steered the wrong direction. I've never had a cavity and whenever I've gone to another dentist I get complimented on my teeth. (I've only gone to another dentist because I've moved out of state...or I would have never left Dr.Chiu's) Dr. Chiu's son Ryan Chiu is also a great addition to the office. You can feel that family first approach in their work ethic. read more

My family had been with Dr. Peter Chiu for the rest of our life and he is the best. Each time we need him he gave the best services and very knowledgable.

The hygienists are so professional and so kind when they clean your teeth. read more

Dr. Chiu is a genuine practice, and I have been here for years! Now that Dr. Chiu's son is also there, the tag team of Dr. Chiu's makes things that much better. Good staff and robust service provided. Recommend for all! Thanks Doc. read more

Dentists are scary! Teeth cleaning is such a drag, your gums bleed and swell up when they poke you with those scary too. Well not here! I have been going here since I was a kid and never have I had an awful experience. Dr Chiu is pro natural teeth. He will not recommend a procedure unless it is necessary. I have some "cavities" and we have been monitoring it for years. By cavities, I do not mean holes, I mean areas in my teeth that have lost some mineral (only visible via X-ray) but not enough to form any micro holes. With careful (and his new recommended flossing) I have been able to maintain and stop the cavity from going worse. Don't let their higher than normal pricing scare you! It seriously is 1000000% worth it. They're packed all the time so get ready to only be able to come at weird hours. Seriously tho, Dr Chiu and his staff are really the best. You are in great hand if you come here. read more

Dr Chiu remains to be the best dentist EVER. He is now with his excellent son. Both of them provide the best care. I love them.

Doctor Chiu is THE BEST! He is our family dentist and I've seen him on and off for about 28 years. He always gives great advice and his office has the newest equipment. read more

I had to schedule an appointment for the next day and they were ready to it! The staff is very friendly and the doctor also very attentive. It was my first time there but definitely I'll be back if needed. Thank you again for helping me. read more

I don't usually write Yelp reviews but Dr.Chiu and his team deserve all the praise they can get! The entire team is friendly, personable, and caring. And the cherry on top is that Dr.Chiu is exceptionally skilled. Like most people, I get some anxiety about going to a dentist. I've had my fair share of dental treatments since I was a kid and have encountered dentists who teeth shame and always suggest the most aggressive and expensive form of treatment for you. Needless to say, I was worried about hearing those things again BUT boy was I wrong. Dr.Chiu is so informative and thorough with his exams that he's spotted areas that were not flagged by my previous providers. He carefully looked through my x-rays, examined my teeth, and let me know about the problemed areas he saw. Pointing them out on the x-ray screen to show me as we went through each area. He also ran an ice test to check on the nerve. (I've never had that done before! -- Normally a dentist would just look at my tooth and suggest an RCT; but he ran tests to see if I absolutely needed it.) I think I've finally found the dentist I can put all my trust in. He created a comprehensive treatment plan that would benefit me the most, and explained to me the urgency of each problem he saw. Whether it needs treatment urgently or if it's something we need to treat down the line so that my teeth won't have to get to the point of no return; root canals or extractions. If you aren't informed about your own dental health, you wouldn't know to do better moving forward. Dr.Chiu really put me at ease, explained everything, and answered all of my questions. I mean ALL of them. He has so many patients waiting to see him yet I never once felt rushed. He is patient-focused and an expert in his field. I couldn't be more happy with Dr.Chiu and his staff. I can't believe I'm saying this, I had the best dental experience of my life. I love love love Dr.Chiu. He is one of the best dentists I have ever had -- and full disclosure, I've had way too many for my age. read more

Dr Chiu is an excellent dentist. I had just gone through a bad experience with my last dentist and Dr. Chiu did everything that my other doctor had failed to do: explain what he was thinking and what the problem was exactly, approach the problem conservatively, and frequently followed up to make sure things were getting better (which they were). I would recommend him to friends and family. I think he cares about his patients and doesn't suggest any unnecessary procedures, especially extremely expensive ones or ones that damage the teeth considerably. Unless of course that is the only choice and the best form of treatment. He is overall a great doctor and a great guy. He explains everything clearly and he is very respectful of all his patients. Thanks Dr.Chiu! Keep up the outstanding work! read more

Dr. Chiu is an excellent dentist! He really cares about his patients and gives you options and information to make the best choice for yourself. He doesn't push procedures, in fact, he tells you if you can hold off on a procedure! If there is a cosmetic or non-threatening concern with your teeth, he explains benefits and drawbacks of procedures. He has often recommended NOT doing a procedure to preserve your teeth and also save you money. He really has his patients interests at heart! My parents go to Dr. Chiu too and he does excellent work too. I trust Dr. Chiu and highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Chiu has been my family's dentist for over 25 years. Wow, now that I do the math I feel really old! Not only was he our family dentist, he was also my boss for 8 years. I worked for him all through high school and college. He and his staff taught me a lot over the years. My Mom also worked for him for a year or so. He and his staff take great pride in their work and makes sure you're taken care of. He treats everyone like they're part of his family. His staff has grown over the years and I wish him continued success for the years to come. read more

Dr. Peter Chiu is great! He has a wonderful staff and my young kids enjoy going to the dentist...funny, I know. They think he's awesome and fight to go first. The main reason I think is because they want to get the fluoride treatment done, so that they can eat earlier. Nonetheless, they like him a lot and look forward to seeing him. Donna cleans my husband, oldest daughter, and my teeth. She is wonderful, too. Note: Since the practice is extremely busy and offer personalized care, they may not be accepting new patients. read more

I have been going to Dr. Chiu since I was 19 after another dentist gave me a bad filling. At 42, my husband goes to him, my stepson and every other member of my extended family. he will not do any unnecessary dental work and will work with you financially. When I was 19, and needed a root canal, he gave me a payment plan. He is gentle and does superb work. I will never go else where. read more

On July 2013, my implant doctor referred me to Dr. Chiu to make the implant crown. When I called Dr. Chu's office to makethe appointment, they want me to see in the next two days and I confirmed with my implant doctor that he wants to see me first. He needs to open the implant and wait four weeks later then I can see Dr. Chu to make the crown. I know that the waiting period is 4 weeks or so. Therefore, I called Dr. Chu's office right away to make the appointment. They gave me an appointment to him in 3 weeks, which will be in September. The problem is my insurance will end in September or so. I asked the receiptist at Dr. Chiu to give me the appointment sooner. She said to me that if I want it to be done, the crown has to be finished by October, or I will need to find another Dentist. She said it to me three times and I was very disappointed, which made me want to cry. I told her that my implant doctor wants me to come here but I rather go somewhere else. She asked me to hold the line and Dr. Chu picked up the phone and said that I am not welcome in his office. He said he does not have any space for me to join in. He charged $2,800.00 for the implant post & crown, which is ridiculous and I could not sleep for a couples nights now as I didn't really know what to do. Finally I was able to find another dentist to finish my crown in two weeks and with a better price. Thanks to Yelp for giving me the opportunity to speak out about this situation. read more

Dr. Chiu is a true professional. I've used him for about 3 years, so I have a basis of comparison with other dentists both in the Bay Area and in other parts of the country. I originally wanted a second opinion from him, and he provided it with no reservation, without maligning the other dentist, who I decided independently was price gouging. Quite recently, I had a major trauma to my front teeth after a fall in East Bay. I was not released until 5:30 pm from thathospital, but Dr. Chiu waited for me at his office in San Francisco until 7 pm and then treated me for another hour. He even called the next day on Saturday to see how I was doing! There are not many dentists who show such care for their patients. He is a gem! read more

I've been going to Chiu for years because he was my family dentist, and both of my parents go to him. For my experience it seems that the quality has gone down, the dental hygienist don't seem like they're doing that well of a cleaning. The last great visit I had was when there was a new Caucasian dentist in training that had just finished dental school, but she left since, I guess she opened her own practice. Last time I went they didn't use any power instruments to clean my teeth, all manual instruments. My sonicare works just the same. They only take appointments, and you'll have to make them 6 months in advance because they are booked. Bad thing is if you're sick, and have to call to cancel, but he charges you $50 to cancel, unless you give 48hours notice. Come on, 48hours notice?! So if you get admitted to the ER it's still my fault, lame. 24 hours is one thing but 48, never again. After getting a job with my own dental plan, I left this place. read more

I've seen Dr. Chiu for about 10 years, and I have to say he's so trustworthy and kind! He's like my cousin Joe, someone who will always look out for my best interest!
