I had a very positive experience with Dr. Gasper and highly recommend her practice…read more My situation was complex and required an extended treatment plan. Years ago, I had some pretty bad experience with a dentist that made me anxious and nervous towards anything dental related. From the beginning, Dr. Gasper took the time to clearly explain my treatment options, answer my questions, and discuss costs, so I could make informed decisions without feeling pressured. Throughout the process, I felt that she truly cared about my overall health and long-term well-being and genuinely has her patients' best interest in mind. It was also clear that she takes great pride in her work, high standard of care, and is committed to doing things the right way to ensure the best possible outcome for the patient. After each treatment, she personally followed up by text to see how I was doing, which really stood out. The post surgery recovery was basically painless (didn't even need the prescribed pain medication), which is another indication of her competence and skills. I also appreciated the coordination with my general dentist to develop a comprehensive long-term treatment plan. The office staff is amazing - always organized, responsive, and on top of everything. I'm very thankful for the professionalism, attentiveness, and exceptional quality of care I received. This experience restored my confidence that there are doctors you can trust.

I have been a patient of Dr. Gasper since after COVID, when my gum disease became significantly…read moreworse during the lockdown period. Over the years, I have undergone several procedures with Dr. Gasper, including tooth extraction, bone grafting, and dental implants. I have great trust in her expertise and professionalism. She always takes the time to explain each procedure carefully--what the goals are, what to expect during recovery, and how to care for yourself afterward. Her clear communication and attention to detail helped me feel informed and confident throughout the entire process. Thank you, Dr. Gasper, for taking such great care of my "problematic" gums and helping me restore my oral health. I would also like to mention the wonderful office staff. Everyone in the office is friendly, professional, and helpful. Visiting a dentist can sometimes be intimidating, especially when facing major procedures, but the warm and supportive environment always makes me feel comfortable and well cared for. Even during the most challenging treatments, I felt that I was in good hands. I am truly grateful to Dr. Gasper and her team for their excellent care and support.

Dr Fateh is a great doctor. He is very patient and takes the time to explain the procedures and…read morewhatever the patient needs to know or prepare for. I have been coming here for bone grafting, and it has been a great experience.

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at this office, particularly with the lack of…read moretransparency regarding insurance coverage and costs. I recently relocated to San Francisco and needed to find a new periodontist to perform gum surgery that had already been recommended by my previous specialist. I was fully aware of my condition and the treatment I needed. My goal was simply to find an in-network provider so I could continue my treatment without unnecessary expenses. I was referred to Bay Periodontics by Valencia Dental in the Mission District, under the impression that this office was within my insurance network. For context, the surgery costs approximately $5,000, but with my insurance, my out-of-pocket expense at my previous in-network periodontist would have been around $600. To my surprise, I was quoted approximately $5,000 out of pocket at this office because they were out of network. What makes this experience even more frustrating is that I essentially paid for a consultation to be told something I already knew and had previously discussed with another specialist. On top of that, I'm now being charged $150 for the visit. I understand that medical and dental consultations come with fees, and providers have every right to charge for their services. However, I also believe patients deserve to know whether a provider is in network before committing to an appointment, especially when insurance coverage is a major factor in their decision. Why would I knowingly agree to pay $5,000 out of pocket for a procedure that would cost me approximately $600 with an in-network provider? My frustration isn't with the recommended treatment or the need for surgery. It's with the lack of clear communication and transparency throughout the referral and scheduling process. Patients should not have to waste their time and money discovering insurance limitations that could have been clarified beforehand. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling misled and disappointed. I strongly encourage this office to be more upfront about insurance participation, consultation fees, and potential out-of-pocket expenses so future patients can make informed decisions before walking through the door.
