Well located in Mill Valley next to the freeway. His team of professionals are pleasant and welcoming. They are sociable and always willing to help. It is so good here in fact, we have added my wife. Claudia runs the front desk with efficiency and a big smile. I have been a customer for over 25 years. And ... I keep my real pretty smile pretty. read more

All of the staff are top notch professionals and also a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this office! Dr. Pearlyn Goodman-Herrick read more

I have gone to a number of dentists in varying cities and states (including San Francisco) and the care I received from Dr. Chan and his dental hygienist was above and beyond for my annual check up. Dr Chan did the cleaning himself, which is not often my experience. His pace, mannerisms, and ability to answer my questions in detail - I tend to have a lot of them - made me feel extremely comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend if you are looking for a new dentist! read more

Great family dentist. He's patient with kids and very efficient and detailed with his cleaning. Also nice office location with free parking read more

I would highly recommend going to Dr. Chan's office for your dental care. He is highly skilled, gentle, knowledgeable and competent. I have been going to Dr. Chan's office for several years now and have always left with a smile. From the moment I walk in and am warmly greeted and throughout each visit I know I am in good hands. This office is very modern, clean and has ample parking with easy access. Outstanding service each and every time! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Chan's for about 10 years, and I have nothing but great things to say about him and his staff. I'm self-employed, so I particularly appreciate the In-office Plan they offer. Over the years, I notice continuous improvement in the overall running of the business, and the new offices are excellent. Highly recommended. read more

My husband and I switched to Dr. Chan about a year ago and are very happy we did. He is very thorough at explaining everything and I feel comfortable he is not "overselling" unneeded procedures. We are both very impressed by the technology in the office. I had a crown done recently and it was a easy a procedure. read more

Dr. Chan is an excellent dentist who inspires confidence that you are in good hands. His office staff is another matter. When he decided to initiate his own plan this past year, I telephoned before a scheduled appointment and asked whether that affected my delta dental coverage and I was informed that it would still be fully covered but I would have to pay the charges upfront following the visit which was ok. Unfortunately that was not the case as Delta paid for half the visit which was a cleaning and I agreed to an unscheduled set of xrays. Dr Chan was no longer in the Delta Dentall network. The follow up conversation I had with the staff member was quite unpleasant as she refused to acknowledge her mistake whether intentional or not. This has led to my seeking another dentist in the area. In looking at past reviews I found another that had similar problems with this person. I generally don't write reviews and if so have been positive, but this particular situation caused me to alert others about potential misinformation you may recieve. read more

It is a bit complicated. Sherman Chan is to the best of my knowledge an excellent dentist. During the past three years, I interacted for just a few minutes with him. And, he was very pleasant and knowledgeable. At first, he had an excellent office manager, Carla. She understood the dental insurance business inside and out. She was very efficient and was a pleasure to deal with. Unfortunately, Carla left a long time ago. The current office manager, Claudia, well leaves me speechless in not a good way. She comingled the bills of my wife and me. She made frequent mistakes and did not have an understanding of the dental insurance business that Carla had. I spent countless hours straightening things out, which I never had to do with Carla. And, Claudia complained that she could not spend that much time with me anymore. So, going forward she would let me deal with the insurance companies refunding me and she would charge me everything upfront. Claudia, if you read this review, the only reason I took so much of your time is because you made so many mistakes that took so much of my time to resolve. You also insisted on comingling both the accounts of my wife and me, instead of keeping them separate. That was not cool. Charging my wife for my visit was not cool. Charging my wife a copay when she did not owe a copay was not cool either. Throughout our interaction, I remained courteous, patient, and magnanimous. You not so much. When you sent me packing by indicating that I take too much of your time, and that you would leave me to deal with the insurance companies. Well, that was the cake. You essentially sent me packing to another dentist. On another note, this office's dental hygienists are often not very good. Some are hurtful, others have rather strange personalities, and some have both characteristics. There are none where you feel eager in seeing them again upon your next appointment. Three years ago, we were three family members going to this office. Now, we have all moved on to other dental offices to get adequate services. To Sherman, you are a good dentist. But, a dentist's office is only as good as its entire team. And, your team right now... well does not do you any favor. Who knows, our paths may cross again. If you strengthen your team bench, I may gladly give you a second chance. read more

Being raised in Marin County, I would like to say that Sherman is a very good dentist, great bedside manner. My daughter and my mother and myself go there. read more

Sherman Chan, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Mill Valley, California

I have been a patient of Dr. Sherman Chan for over 10 years now. I commute from SF to be his patient. I had a cracked tooth about 5 years ago which he failed to diagnose the first time. I had to come back as I was as in pain. I overlooked this mistake and stayed with him. I'm very disappointed in the front office staff. Claudia has been keeping records of changed appointments and have been trying to charge me $80 in addition to my regular bill. He has a new big beautiful office which the patient pays for through what he charges for regular appointments. Time to make a change! read more

After years, I would not recommend this office anymore. My complaint is mostly the office staff and how it is run. Very low budget people running the front office. Quality care of most of the hygienist there are below standard. Also, you will get a million phone calls, texts, and emailed about your upcoming appointment, which is very annoying. Lastly, I have never had a dentist not come in to see you after your bi-annual teeth cleaning. That is not cool and is very unprofessional so I am done with this office and switching to another dentist. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Chan's for quite a few years and he practices the most careful, considerate, well-trained dentistry. Excellent service, excellent skills. I trust his judgment and recommendations. For those who are timid about dentistry, he is gentle and operates without any pain whatsoever. I recommend Dr. Chan's profession services without reservation. read more

Dr. Chan is an amazing dentist, he is professional and gentle. The office is clean and modern, and the staff are friendly.

Great practice. Sanitary, modern looking office and has next day appointment for my dad who has a toothache. Dr Sherman is personable, listens to us and explains the options. They have a great preventative plan that we would sign up for if my dad is more into that . will return for my tooth cleaning. read more

The woman at the front desk, I believe her name was Brooke, she was so kind and friendly, definitely the most helpful and understanding, best experience at this office! read more

I am relieved to have found Dr. Chan. He is the truly the best because he is honest, informative and makes sure I am comfortable the entirety of the appointment. I previously had terrible experiences with pain and being ripped off by my dentists, but Dr. Chan has helped me feel confident and at ease when getting work done. He is transparent when it comes to costs and what work is necessary. I also referred my mother to Dr. Chan and she has also noted how gentle, knowledgeable and kind he is. Her dental health was in decline for decades and she was very nervous and embarrassed about the state of her teeth. Dr. Chan worked with her and referred her to an oral surgeon (who was also amazing), and she is so much more confident and happy that her health is in order. Thank you for that Dr. Chan! The office location is beautiful, his team is very communicative about appointments and staff is ALWAYS welcoming. 10/10 would recommend if you are looking for a long-term dentist. read more

Wonderful and gentle doctor, great and helpful team, beautiful location of the practice in the new office.I enjoy visits to my dentist.

It's been a while since I went to the dentist so when I got my dental insurance the first thing I wanted to do was get a cleaning. Being new to Marin, I didn't know any good dentists so I asked around and Dr. Chan was recommended by my coworker. Dr. Chan's office has a very relaxed atmosphere. The employees seemed happy to work there and were very friendly to me. They treated me with respect and I was informed of everything they were about to do. Also, his hygienist was very gentle and she cleaned my teeth very thoroughly. Dr. Chan himself was very personable and friendly. He was non-judgmental and took cool pictures of my teeth to show me what was going on. The two fillings I needed were done painlessly and they feel fine. If you are looking for a nice, skilled dentist with a clean office then try his office! read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Chan's for more than five years and can't say enough good things about him and his office. He is a consummate professional and does excellent work and provides an unparalleled level of comfort. From crowns to cosmetics, I have faith in his expertise and have experienced it firsthand. I heartily recommend his services and his office. Update: 4/19 Dr. Chan continues to impress. I needed a cosmetic repair on a tooth from years ago and Dr. Chan spent an inordinate amount of time fixing it and getting it right. His attention to detail and expertise was apparent and I felt like I was in good hands with a trusted professional. I can smile again! read more

I HAVE MESSED UP TEETH, with all my fillings, gold & white crowns, and root canals. Yes, yes.. my fault because my childhood was starved of junk food and years of braces but also because genetically, my teeth just has these perfect gaps that hold on to food so tight. So I know for myself what a good dentist means after spending enough moolah on my teeth to buy another car (well, no beamer but a decent japanese model). I was hesitant about going because I have a preference for female dentist thinking it would be easier to access my teeth- not the case with Dr. Chan because he had no issues replacing my huge filling and I was quite comfortable. And for another tooth, I was already pre-mourning (for my wallet, time, and pain) of yet another root canal but Dr. Chan reassured me by shaving the crown down a little because the previous dentist had set it a little high- talk about months of pain and toothache because I was lazy and cheap. I am so glad I found Dr. Chan. He is extremely polite, affordable, professionally, and really efficient and fast. Super easy to get to his practice(nice that a whole foods is just there), ample parking, there's water in the waiting area, in the bathroom there's floss and toothpaste (nice touch when I forget to brush before going to the dentist), the office was clean as expected, short wait, and their billing went smoothly. The lady at the front desk was helpful (d'oh, didn't know that there's different delta dental state plans) but what was super techie was that I was able to fill out my registration forms online easily. Definitely will be back for a cleaning treatment soon and possible some teeth whitening and perhaps a new nightguard for my TMJ.... read more

Love the dentist but never loved the receptionist. When I called to make appointment she did not inform me that I will be charged $75 if I can't make it. It was my fault that I couldn't make it but I really didn't know I will be charged $75 for no show. Will not come back to this place anymore since they have a very bad receptionist ( I told them so many time before how bad she was) . Sorry Dr. Chan but no sorry to the receptionist. No inform and wanted to bill me????? What type of operation is that? read more

I rarely post Yelp reviews unless I think the service or work is exceptional. Dr. Chan is the best! He does excellent work...zero pain or discomfort...humble and kind and friendly. And everyone in the office (hygienists, front desk staff, etc.) is awesome as well. I highly recommend! read more

Dr Chan and his staff exceeded my expectations! I recently moved from the East Coast to the Bay Area where several friends suggested Dr. Chan's dental practice. I had been with a wonderful dentist for over 28 years, so my expectations were very high. I found Dr Chan to be knowledgeable, informative and humble, taking care of all my needs and even being more thorough than a previous dentist. Carla at the front desk was great getting me on board. Dr Chan's assistant, AnhThu, was very competent, and my dental hygienist, Loretta, was experienced and coached me through new recommendations on how to better manage my gums and teeth. Highly recommend this practice. read more

Dr Chan is an awesome dentist. He is very knowledgable, gentle, and humble. The crown he placed looks completely natural and feels great!! My crown was near the front and it blends in perfectly. You can't tell I have a crown at all. Plus his office is really nice and really clean. Five stars all the way! read more

I really like Dr. Chan and his practice. They are kind, responsive, caring and ethical. I have always had great experiences with his practice as well as at any referrals he has given me. I always feel like they don't push you to do more than is required but at the same time look out for your best interest. It is a very good operation and the entire staff is very professional. They do great work too. read more

Dr. Chan is a fantastic dentist! He is so gentle and kind. His work is flawless. I had 3 different procedures in one month and every single one was done with the utmost of care. He is truly an expert in his field and I would not hesitate to have him do any work. Carla who works the front desk is also a doll, in fact the entire staff is wonderful. Kudos also to Faye, his hygienest. She is the best ever. This office is hands down the best you will find anywhere. If I could give Dr. Chan 10 stars I would. read more
