I have a bonding on one of my front two teeth (from another dentist) that after several years was starting to chip away. I called Dr. Stein to fix the bonding and, given the aesthetic nature of the procedure, was hoping to get an appointment quickly. Although Steve's first official availability was several weeks later he completely understood my urgency and agreed to a next-day visit in the morning before the office was officially open. I was very pleased with this service but was even more impressed with the quality of Steve's work. Despite the fact that he had extended his hours to accommodate my visit, he did not rush through the procedure. Instead, he insisted on fine-tuning the initial result until he felt it was up to his standards, which are apparently very high. Most dentists would have decided my tooth looked good enough after a first pass (and the first pass was already quite good). But Steve seemed to approach this with the same care he would have given to one of his own teeth or for that of a family member. Needless to say, the result was flawless. I cannot recommend Steve highly enough and will definitely be coming back the next time I need dental work. read more

Scared to death of the dentist... I have been afraid of the dentist my entire life and that was my excuse for the neglect I put myself through. I could not stand the thought of that needle...or those tools. My dentist, Dr. Stein, has been a god-send for me. His manner and gentle nature provides pain-free procedures Even when those procedures calls for the "needle", it doesn't hurt. Not sure how he does it. The dedication to the comfort of his patient cannot be overstated. Between Lisa, Andrea, and Dr. Stein they have done a magnificent job of prioritizing and managing my many needs over the past several years, which were the fault of my neglect. When I say managing my needs, that includes all the insurance considerations. Again, always looking out for what is best for me. I cannot believe how my attitude has changed. Before, I used to dread the dentist appointment for days. Now, I know when I get there I will just lay back and resign myself to his care; turn more to the left, more to the right...suction...no problems. Awesome! read more

When our dentist retired and sold his practice to Dr. Stephen Stein many years ago, we could have ask friends for referrals to other local dentists, but we decided to try Dr. Stein first. Well, we never felt the need to look around for another dentist, we have been with Dr. Stein ever since. We have had three generations going to him. Besides being a very competent dentist with a friendly office atmosphere (Andrea, Lisa), we think of Dr. Stein and his office as family. Dr. Stein is unassuming, intelligent, with high integrity and compassion. We always come away feeling we had a nice visit with a relative or close friend while our dental needs have been well taken care of. It is always reassuring to see the smile on his face and his easy-going demeanor, but he certainly knows his stuff professionally. I agree with the others - Dr. Stephen Stein is the area's best kept secret. read more

Dr. Stein is hands-down the best dentist I've ever had. He's not only incredibly kind and patient but also deeply committed to staying on the cutting edge of dental science and its connection to overall functional health. Over the years, he's guided me through extensive dental work, helped me assess and correct a tongue tie with the right specialist, supported me through and after Invisalign, and continues to help me reach my current smile and health goals. What stands out most is how much he truly cares. He listens, explains every step, and goes above and beyond to make sure I'm comfortable and confident in my treatment. It's clear he works tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome for his patients. I genuinely trust him with my smile and couldn't recommend him more highly. read more

I am a retired physician who observed many physicians, caregivers and medical professionals but have never before been privileged to have been the recipient of such a caring, dedicated professional who really cares for the whole person. My adult educationally handicapped daughter was taken to Dr. Stein for dental care. I did not realize how fortunate my family was to have him take care of her. His professional skill is expected, but his total involvement with the entire person is far beyond what any person can expect. My daughter lives in Concord and I live on the SF Peninsula, and I have not personally met Dr. Stein, but I am extremely impressed and grateful for his care. Gerald Kenner, MD read more

Dr. Stein is by far the best rated Dentist in Concord. My friends and I all come from Walnut Creek because he is the best we have found. He is kind, gentle and will do what is in your best interest. When I was in pain at 2:00 am on Saturday night, he met me at the office at 6:00 am Sunday morning. This is a dentist you can count on when you need it. He is very humble but we found out that he graduated top of his class from one of the top rated dental schools in the country (UCSF) and did a residency at Cedars-Sinai. He is so focused on your comfort that you will relax and know that you are getting the best dental care anywhere. read more

I recently switched to Dr. Stein's office because my original dentist retired and I never became comfortable or confident with his replacement. Dr. Stein was highly recommended by family and friends, so I decided to give his office a try. I had high expectations and was not let down. Dr. Stein, assistants, and office staff were all very polite and professional. Dr. Stein and his staff come off as competent and very good at what they do. I'm definitely glad I made the switch to Dr. Stein's office and would recommend him to anyone looking for a good dentist. read more

Front office staff does not know what they are doing and see to be to lazy to do there job. I asked for my insurance information to be up dated 3 times and still getting a bill for what my insurance said they will pay 100% of.

I think it is time to move on. read more
