Not many people like going to the dentist. In fact I'm sure a lot of us dread it. With that being…read moresaid my experience being a patient has been life changing. When you 1st walk in you are warmly greeted similar to when you walk into your grandmother's house on Christmas. Every staff member, regardless of how busy they are will give you a smile. As for Dr. McDowell he has changed my life in the best possible way. For many years I never smiled for pictures due to the insecurity of my teeth. He did a full restoration of my mouth and I truly feel like a new man. I'm now the 1st person to smile at a stranger and I even show my teeth for pictures. I have since relocated out of the area but I'm keeping Tamal Vista because they are that good. If you are on the fence please just walk by or even pop your head in to see for yourself how wonderful this office is. Scott C

Tamal is absolutely and unequivocally the best practice I have ever used for my personal dental needs. From front office staff, to hygienists, to the doctors and their patience with their patients to their investments in technology to better treat patients. They are amazing in explaining everything to patients and do not come off as "selling procedures ". They have your best interest in mind and nothing more. I would recommend my entire social network to them. This office checks literally every single box AND NO they are NOT clients of mine! So this is not a biased review.

This review pertains to the office experience yesterday, not the abilities of the hygienist or dentist. I am seeking a local dentist in Marin County. Last week I received the most recent of many mailers for Kantor dental group, then called to make an appointment for a cleaning only. I discussed times and specifics for the appointment. I booked for 8 AM Sat. and was told the cleaning was 45 minutes. Yesterday I arrived on time and found no one was at the front desk. Waited for a few minutes. Had to call out and eventually a lady who came out, did not greet me or welcome me and said that the office staff had not arrived! (In our phone call a day before, I had clearly stated to Bridget, the nice office manager ahead of time that I was only booking the cleaning, -- no exam and that I was willing to pay with a check to receive they offered cleaning discount for $177.). On the phone she tried to upsell me a plan that I was not interested in and declined. After being directed to the room, I waited for hygienist who didn't come. Then a nice dentist Dr. Gutierrez came out and said he was there to examine me, and I said I had clearly stated no exam today I can only afford the cleaning. I then asked how much the exam! I reiterated that I was not yet booking an exam. The dentist said he didn't know how much it was went away and came back and said it would be $89 for 15 minutes. He asked if I had any recent x-rays and I said I do but will obtain them before booking. an exam l. I then waited for the hygienist who still didn't come. It is now over 30 minutes after my appointment. I got up and went to the front desk and inform the receptionist that it was too late to continue to wait for a hygienist when my appointment was at 8 AM, which was intentionally scheduled due to other obligations. I also asked her why the dentist came in when I had already discussed that I was only there for the cleaning. She looked in her computer at notes and said that the exam would be free. I said I wasn't informed of that but now it's 8:40 and I'm going to have to leave. The hygienist was busy working with another patient so apparently they double booked my appointment time. The sad thing about this whole thing was I was really looking for to try out a new local dentist. But the disorganization and bad first impression maybe question whether I should go back to this practice.

I had moved from SF to Mill Valley and no longer wanted to commute to get my cleanings. I also had a laundry list of things to touch up before my wedding. I came to Dr. Yang's office with a few goals in mind and a strict timeline. 1) I had braces as a kid, but never wore my retainer, so I wanted to fix up my teeth with Invisalign. 2) I had some old composite that was yellow and incorrectly shaped 3) I wanted to whiten my teeth 4) I needed all of this done in 6-9 months The doctor jumped into action and was able to deliver on all fronts. My teeth are whiter and straighter, and I looked great for my wedding. Additionally, everyone is super nice at the office. They communicate over text with reminders, and it has always been easy to work with insurance. 5 stars and will be a long-time patient!
