i needed a new dentist becasue mine is slowing down and getting ready to retire. I went yesterday to establish care and get a cleaning. Dr Brian Benyammi was great---best cleaning I've had in years...and full explanation of my dental condition with photos of my teeth. He was positive, smart, nice to staff and me---so glad I have this practice to go to, I referred my granddaughter and husband. The office is clean, modern and relaxing, so close to BART too. read more

Glen Park Dental does not just care for your teeth, they care about their patients' well-being and total health. They are genuinely interested in your welfare. Aside from giving thorough and professional exams, the doctors advocate preventive oral hygiene and healthy dental care at home. I feel well-care for whenever I visit Glen Park Dental by the entire staff. I look forward to every visit because harmony and joy reigns in this dental office read more

cleaning, filling ... if I could vote for Dr Vicky to be GOD I certainly would! The best experience in a dental office in my long life! The office was exceptional! love this place! read more

I was referred to this place by my PT, Kylie who said she met Ms. Dickerson at the Glen Park Fair and Ms. Dickerson assured her she was a very special dentist. My PT told me to switch to this practice from my current one, which caught me by surprise. I said I wasn't interested and forgot about it. A few months later my PT mentions this practice again and says they told her they could help people with facial pain and Ms. Dickerson told my PT that if she had clients with pain issues "she should send them over to her." So, I agreed to a consultation. I needed just to hear an opinion about why I had pain. Instead I got a sales pitch. Ms. Dickerson told me that I had slight jaw misalignment. She suggested a 3D scan to see if there was anything deeply wrong with the joints. The screening they do on site for $500. I could have gotten a much cheaper X-ray instead they would count towards my deductible, but doing the 3D in house helps the practice pay off their new machine. So, they didn't mention other options. The test showed some bone flattening and Ms. Dickerson said I need to get the "orthotic" to realign my jaws better, that way the muscles will be relaxed and the pain should go away. It is a piece of plastic that they billed at $3K! I was shocked by the price but made the decision to try in hope to get better. But after I got this orthotic my pain got worse, not better, in fact a bit worse. She adjusted it (with the bore machine by drilling some parts away roughly) as it was very uncomfortable and practically impossible to take out using both hands. After the adjustment it was easier to take it in-out, but it now had sharp edges and hurt my gums and tongue. 10 days of wearing it, I got constant pain in my face and TMJ. I went back, she said she checked it and should be fine, just give it some time to get used to it. That's it. Piece of plastic for $3K that is useless and makes you hurt. I went to get a consultation with an Orthodontist, they told me they never heard of this "orthotic" and they do not recommend it as it seems useless. I spoke to my doctor at UCSF about the scan and the scary bone loss, they recommended I see an Orthodontic specialist, Professor of Dentistry at UCSF who is teaching classes on dentistry. After looking at the scan, me, the piece of plastic and understanding the issue, the UCSF specialist told me that the scan was totally fine, no need to fix anything. Some wear and tear is normal as we age and it would be strange if people didn't have it. There is no need to change my bite as it is good, not perfect, but good enough. Changing the bite is a bad decision. The orthotic is not good to wear during the day, it could only serve as the night guard and it is not ideal for that either. It would be better to get a normal well-made night guard. It's been almost a year and I know for sure, their solution didn't work. In summary, I went for a consult and they sold me unnecessary, uncomfortable overpriced piece of plastic. I left there $3700 poorer plus I had to get more consultations about the non-stop discomfort her orthotic caused. They didn't just take the money from me, they robbed me of an opportunity to get appropriate help as I do not have everlasting funds. Very disappointed. read more

Upon recommendation from my girlfriend, now wife this is where I go! I'm really really picky about my dentists. I've had some bad dentist office experiences in the past and have avoided dentists for years till I lost a filling from eating a free gummy from TJ's. I expressed to the office my prior fears and reservations I've had about visiting a dentist and they listened to my needs, took care of what needed to be done and helped me get back on track. On a side note. I come from San Leandro. Sometimes I'll take BART as the station is across the street. Yup. I'll be back in 6months. read more

I had a bad experience New patient forms were submitted. No response I called. After several days.. no response I called a second time. No response It had been two plus weeks since I submitted paperwork After more waiting I got an email offering an appointment in 2023. That would be more than 6 months out. I followed up to see if it was a mistake. No response The office was recommended to me by my KP doctor. I had expected a good interaction. What a disappointment. read more

We've been long time customers. They recently told us we would need to pay up front and then we'd get reimbursed starting in August. I asked a few times why, they said they have to spend time with delta that they don't want to so they were outsourcing that back to their customers. They did not once mention they were going to become out of network. If they had, we would have immediately left as we chose them specifically for being in network. We went after the deadline, paid on the spot even before getting services and then waited a month and received a notice that payment would be for less than the full amount of a regular cleaning and xray ($400 vs 450 charged). Went in to find out why. They told us they do not deal with delta dental and they are out of network, we'd need to take it up with Delta. It started out great as a local family oriented place. Their focus is somewhere else now. read more

Pros: The office is very convenient, right across from the Glen Park Bart station. The interior is decorated nicely and has a spa-like vibe. The cleaning I got was excellent, the hygienist used an ultrasonic cleaner that made it go by very quickly and my teeth felt fantastic. Cons: This is the most bizarre dental expereince I've ever had. It was an initial appoint so x-rays, cleaning, thanks. Nope. This guy looked through my mouth and made an itemized list of everything he could potentially do to make money. He handed me an itemized list of $5,000 worth of unnecessary work. Full veneers? What is this LA? I didn't ask for that, I just wanted a new dentist and a simple cleaning. read more

I've been their customer for a long time but I had a terrible experience recently. I called to schedule a regular cleaning appointment, which they did. They also told me that they accept my insurance (Delta Dental PPO), and as per their new policy, I will pay the bill in full and will be reimbursed in full by my insurance. They told me they would submit the claim and that this reimbursement takes about 3 weeks. I confirmed that the reimbursement would be for the full amount - to which they said yes. Fast track to appointment day. They told me I need to pay $450. I was curious about the breakdown, so they printed an invoice and told me my out-of-pocket is $229 and insurance covers the rest. This was TOTALLY different information from what I was told on the phone. Upon asking why, they started to tell me that they are now out of network and that there is a difference between what my insurance covers and what they charge for services. What a scam. Suggestion: DON'T pay upfront and ask for the breakdown BEFORE you start any treatment. I canceled my appointment and will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

Wow! I had Dr. Lass and she was so kind and incredibly helpful! She showed genuine care about my oral health. She went above and beyond by explaining in-depth not only what she was doing, but what it tests for and how it relates to regular oral hygeine. Genuinely had the best dentist experience I've ever had, highly recommend to others! As a note, I've interacted with Dr. Longa, Dr. Dickerson, and the rest of the staff numerous times as a neighbor ---- and they are all so kind and friendly! Truly a great office all around! read more

WOW. I am absolutely floored! I have been avoiding going to the dentist for a while now, and have been using COVID as an excuse. In reality, I just get a lot of anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist. Glen Park Dental is walking distance from my house, so I figured I'd give it a shot as I'd been needing to switch providers. So, with many butterflies in my stomach this morning, I went in for my first appointment/consultation. From the MOMENT I stepped in, those butterflies started to drift away: 1) The ambiance is so gorgeous and relaxing, and the space is so much bigger than you'd expect from the outside 2) You feel like you're at Disneyland in terms of how kind the entire staff is! Everyone introduced themselves to me by name, smiled, and were so warm! 3) They don't make you wait around too much at all! The longest I was ever by myself (which is when anxiety really brews ;) ) was maybe 3 minutes. I've waited for dentists for 20 minutes before elsewhere, so this is HUGE! I was with Dr. Melissa Lass and she was prompt, kind, so REAL and so considerate. Finally, at the end of my appointment, they offered to get my impressions done because I need a new mouth guard. This is when my stomach dropped into my feet. I HATE getting impressions done. They make my already bad anxiety turn up to 11 and I always feel like I'm suffocating. The gentleman that assisted me (I WISH I remembered his name but he mentioned he's been working here for 26-27 years!) could tell that I was anxious and did everything in his power to cheer me up, distract me, and check in on me. Hands down the least scary impressions I've ever had taken :) I am SO glad to have found this place. Thank you thank you thank you!! read more

I really like the care provided by this dental office. The staff is warm and highly skilled, the space is relaxing and clean, good location, and they are especially good with kids. Its a fairly small office with a small waiting area, which I have appreciated during COVID. They are not in our dental insurance network, and I pay cash to take my family here. I am removing one star however because there is usually a 4-5 month wait for existing patients to schedule non urgent cleaning/checkups. This isn't unheard of for high quality medical and dental care, but I don't understand why they would be recruiting an even larger patient panel as advertised on their website and worsen this patient access situation. They do encourage patients to schedule the next appointment at the end of each visit, but I (and I suspect many other people) often don't know their work schedule or family travel plans 6-12 months ahead of time. It also creates no flexibility if someone gets sick or otherwise can't attend a scheduled appointment, you get pushed out months more. That is especially tough with kids. Finally, unless you get lucky and someone picks up the phone on your first try there is often a lot of phone tag to actually get an appointment scheduled. I wish there was a digital option, even if just emailing or texting for availability. Overall I do recommend this dental practice, but be aware of the scheduling scenario you are signing up for. read more

Funny how we sometimes overlook the business that's right under our nose. My friends family recommended GP Dental several years ago, but It took me until last year to make it here. I had some work to be done before losing my insurance coverage and they worked me into their schedule during the first week of SIP. My first contact was with Dr. Kimberly Dickerson. So warm & concerned about my comfort. I instantly felt at ease. She even took my arm to assist me down the stairs. I received a lovely hand written note from her welcoming me to their practice. A year later, I'm back and had the fortune to meet Dr. Carlos Longa, the other half of this married duo. Not surprising that he was just as charming and considerate with a great sense of humor. Who else would Dr. Dickerson be married to? He replaced my 100 yr. old filling and had me out of there in minutes. I am paying out of pocket, but there is no pain when receiving this kind of care from everyone who works here! read more

Dr. Longa is a very special dentist. He is thorough, conscientious, honest, conservative, compassionate, and loves his work. I believe he takes excellent care of my teeth, and I trust his judgment to elect the least invasive option. He is very gentle with the novicane needle and the drill, and he and his staff are attentive to my comfort at all phases of the work. He immediately puts me at ease with his infectious sense of humor. He explains what he is doing during the procedure, which is a big plus for me. His offices have the most advanced diagnostic equipment, and it is very easy to view multiple X-rays while he explains the issue at hand. I just discovered him after many, many years of driving miles across the City for my dental care. I live only 6 blocks away, and the parking is plentiful. When he is finished, I pay the bill with gratitude and look forward to my next visit. A big shout out too for his staff who represent Dr. Longa's treatment philosophy of kindness and competence. read more

Glen Park Dental is one of the best place I've gone for my dental needs. My family currently continues to go. Unfortunately, my dentist insurance changed so I had to find another which is something I'm really bummed about. The staff is friendly, they reach out to you if anything and are communicative. Dental hygienists are careful and pleasant. Dr. Longa is awesome! He's personable, knowledgeable and honest. My family and I have used GPD for a few years now, wish I could stay. I fear no other place can compare. Highly recommend. read more

We were very unhappy with the care we received here. Dr. Dickerson completely brushed aside our 4 year old son's crowded teeth, and in so doing cost us valuable time. Crowded baby teeth mean the palate needs expanding, but we didn't know that. She should. We also have friends whose kids have x-rays from there clearly showing crooked adult teeth coming in because of crowded baby teeth but it took another dentist to share this diagnosis. Go to Discovery Pediatric Dentistry, which is where we now go! read more

I just had a dental visit yesterday and it reminded me I should have written a review for the excellent Glen Park Dental. Both Dr. Longa and Dr. Dickerson are great. Very skilled dentists and great people. My hygienist Nicole is also great. I don't live in Glen Park but I take the Bart to come to see them! read more

I began seeing Dr. Dickerson in August of 2021. I've had TMJ in the past and wanted someone familiar with treating it as my dentist. She also has a T-scan device to measure bite which I liked. Everything went smoothly with my visits and cleaning until Spring of '22 when my TMJ flaired up. Dickerson is a neuromuscular DDS. She uses a TENS unit to relax muscles before reading the bite. I had several of these TENS sessions and each time she fumbled with the machine. It seemed to constantly fail or the leads would fall off. The sessions are long and very uncomfortable. They helped only temporarily. I thought she would replace my nightguard from our conversations but instead she made me a splint. Like another patient here, the "$3000 piece of plastic" was worthless. I do think she should of explained what she was making before charging me. I went back to using my old night guard and eventually to not wearing anything at night. When I told her she said "great you don't need it". Yes but what about my $3000? Aside from this bad experience the office staff is very nice and friendly in person but hard to reach on the phone to schedule or reschedule. Now that I have a new dentist I tried having my records sent over. After the first attempt, I called again and they asked me to send a form. A month later I have my check up and no records were sent over. I try a third time by leaving a message on the machine. Instead of calling back, I get an email with a set of X rays from my initial exam. No explanation no apology. Another problem is inconsistent evaluation by the hygeinists. One says I am doing great. Then on my last exam suddenly I have gingivitis! Then 5 months later with my new dentist, my teeth and gums are fine, no gingivitis! Finally the new office is in a hilly section of SF that is hard to get to and very hard to find parking. I really wanted to like this office and Dr. Dickerson. She is very nice and has great chairside manner. However, the bottom line is she wasn't the right dentist for me. read more

Staff was great. They helped me make a decision on how to proceed and gave me a referral to an oral surgeon. I was out of there and off to a surgeon within an hour and my molar is now gone. I'll be coming back to Glen Park Dental in several months to finish putting in a replacement. They really made what was a very anxious event, smooth and easy for me. read more

I sought out Dr. Dickerson because she is one of the few doctors nationwide that perform growth guidance for adults. I had extraction orthodontics as a teen and jaw problems ever since. She is nothing short of amazing. Not only has she been able to calm my jaw pain, quickly and more so than the handful of specialists I've seen through the years, but she has a wonderful empathy for her patients. I highly recommend her, a top notch dentist who is helping me live pain free for the first time in decades. read more

I love the staff at GPD. Today I was scheduled for a cleaning, left work early only to find they had made a mistake on the date. Dr. Carlos Longa overheard me at the front desk explaining it was hard for me to reschedule so he fit me in. I waited about 20 minutes and voilà. Having had lots of dental work done (bridges, crowns, inplants) dental hygienist Liz is thorough. She has given me ideas on how to maintain my teeth and gums (waterpick, special floss). I've known dental assistant Loen for 15+ years - he's a holdover from the previous owners. I'm cheerfully greeted by the front desk staff at each visit. Lastly - I haven't lived in SF for years. I wouldn't even consider looking for another practice near my Peninsula home. read more

Another reviewer said: "Dr Dan's fake pouring on the charm quickly vanishes the minute you question him about anything he wants to you consent to." I will agree as I questioned the billing and suddenly Dr. Ramirez would no longer talk to me but instead her husband Dr. Dan called me (he never worked on me...I was a patient of his wife for a couple of years...stupid, stupid me...) They tried to convince me to come in to talk about this billing/insurance discrepancy and after he finally agreed to talk to me on the phone, I see why. He was going to probably lock the door and start with the intimidation. Instead, he tried on the phone, but did not scare me one bit. Instead, I called my insurance plan, told them about what was going on, so they audited my account. I ended up getting 1600.00 BACK from OVERCHARGES! They sent him a letter telling him he owed me that, but after 30 days of no pay, guess what? My WONDERFUL insurance company that he had bad mouthed saying, "They are not there for you...we are" just TOOK the money from other payments owed him and sent it to me! Gotta love Delta Dental!!! Sure the office has gone all "Hollywood," but I guess it's the patients who they expect to pay for it. Go a few blocks over to Mission Terrace Dental! WONDERFUL dentists, staff AND they will let you pay the balance in monthly payments if you have too! You don't have to sign over your next kid like you do over at GP Dental! Oh, and the reviewer who said after Ramirez put on a new crown, he/she got an infection and needed a root canal? Raising my hand on that one. Same thing happened to me. read more

Great, honest, and very personable dentists. I really appreciate their gentle approach. Thanks for making going to the dentist good again. xo! read more

I make it a policy not to make dentists mad. I think this place might maybe be prone to overestimating the amount of work you need, to pay for all those gee-whiz dental doohickeys they have lying around. I also kind of think they might not really keep in mind whether or not they are blowing through your entire lifetime of dental insurance in one go when they work up your quote. Which won't worry them any, because they have you subtly agree to pay all past-due balances with an on-file credit card number that is buried in the middle of your medical information intake form. So if it turns out that you get $15K worth of work and your insurance will max out at $1K, GPD will just kerslap the other $14K on your credit card, I guess. Which, uh, yikes. Perhaps you will find that they seem to operate on a sales model rather than a medical practice model. That is, perhaps you will find you are receiving a sales pitch -- granted a soft-sell, rather masterfully applied -- instead of an in-your-best-interest medical management plan for your teeth. Oh God, please don't let them hurt me. read more

First off, past patients can now find the two dentists (Dan Gustafson and Mai-Ly Ramirez) in Roseville, CA, under "Fountains Dental Excellence" - look them up on Yelp!!! This is my review: Bad. I will echo what other reviewers have stated about this practice - they are totally about maximizing the work they need to do on you and upselling to convince you to get more done, even when it's questionable as to whether it's truly warranted. No regard for the pocketbook at all, so prepare to be treated like a cash cow - they charge way more than most dentists and insurance companies generally reject a good portion of their bills. I have to say I found Gustafson fakely charming with irrelevant chitchat and not all that desirous of explaining why he figured I needed a multitude of procedures -- he liked to speedily gloss over that part. Actually it all came to a head when he strongly urged me to replace a cap which he said had to be replaced immediately - I went to two other dentists for second opinions and they totally negated what he had to say...doesn't that give you the shivers! Well, I had a number of fillings, which I now wonder about - were they truly needed? read more

oh my gosh NO! No! NO! do not go here... If you read my first review, there are many reasons why I left this place...They tried and ripped me off...It looks nice, classy at first (serving you a bottle of water, giving some free chips, even giving minted tasting lipgloss with a tootbrush all wrapped in a nice cosmetic bag....but yes, they tried hard and I almost went for it----$7,000-$25,000... Careful and beware.... read more

Disclaimer: This will be the most ridiculous rating I've given thus far, but I can't help myself - I have to YELP about this place. *Adam L.'s review of this place was pretty funny: http://www.yelp.com/biz/8pWfnttyOthjLCQt96qo3w?hrid=UlYOAz-Bzk4h_IEyNWpFYg This is not my dental office. I have not had any dental work done here... BUT - this is, by far, the most luxurious, clean, fantabulous dental office I have ever visited. Since I was 4 years old, I've been with the same "family" dentist. If not for loyalty, I would leave my dentist for Dr. Dan Gustavson immediately (no disrespect Dr. S.)! Check out GPD's website and you'll know what I mean. Visit their office and you'll want to leave your dentist, too. OK, first off, they're conveniently located right across the street from the Glen Park Bart station. They have two floors - I've never seen a dental office with two floors. And yes, they have an elevator - IN the office. Handicap Accessible office! They have crazy insane snacks, a "refreshment center," cds, dvds, internet access (ahhh!?!), and MASSAGE CHAIRS! Top to bottom, this place is impeccable. So, if this isn't my dentist's office, why the high marks!? Dr. Dan Gustavson's office is a huge supporter of the neighborhood and the Glen Park Festival. He graciously invited our Hula dance group to perform at the festival and opened his office doors for our use. Aside from his generosity and commitment to his local community, it was really refreshing to see him "in action," thoroughly enjoying "working" the festival. And, to be fair, my friend Anne is his client - And she has GORGEOUS teeth! I'm approaching 40 and this place got me thinking about braces, full mouth reconstruction AND porcelain veneers! read more

Dr Ramirez is the 4th and the very best dentist I've had in San Francisco. She does 'perfect' dentistry. Recently Mai-ly replaced a crown I broke. The lab made an imperfect replacement crown. She could have saved herself a few bucks, filled it full of glue and stuck it in my mouth. Instead she sent it back because it was not perfect. I LOVE that she insists on perfection for my teeth. I have put $50k into my teeth since I was 15 years old (I am 40). I want a dentist who will do perfect quality work and not lower standards to compete in the cheap dentistry arena. It's hard to find a dentist with standards as high as hers. Though Dan is not my dentist, he is one of the best in the country. Did you know he scores a 98% in the national 'best dentist' system? Try and get that score at a dentist doing $200 crowns. He did amazing reconstructive work for my friend. He is very talented and not afraid to tell you if your teeth are a mess. That's exactly WHY people seek him out in California. It's hard to find a dentist as precise as Dan. Mai-ly is a 3rd generation dentist, and grew up in a dental office. She uses excellent, modern dentistry tools that make her dentistry comfortable, thoughtful, and efficient. No hammer and chisel in this office. She bought a very expensive chair for sedation dentistry so that people's arms don't cramp after 5+ hours of sedation. An example of her attention to detail and an expense she would make for her patients. She has a computer panel in front of each chair so she can show pictures and xrays to discuss teeth. She has a special silicone mouth trap gizmo that keeps the goop and spit out of the mouth and in the vacuum tube. This silicon gadget rocks! GPD is a Cerec dentist too. Cerec is the only way to go for fixing decayed teeth. It saves the good part your good tooth and only replaces the bad part. Old fashioned dentistry removes too much good tooth. I love Cerec. If you pay with your credit card rates are discounted up to 15%, I don't want low service or low quality dentistry, and can pay a few dollars more for perfect dentistry. When I was 23 and broke, I had a cheap dentist, and he turned small fillings into cheap crowns just to make more money off of my insurance. What he did to me was criminal. Watch out for those kinds of cheap dentists. Other yelpers seem to complain about GPD's slightly higher pricing in favor of cheap dentistry. Watch Out! I'm sad to read reviews about cheap dentistry and girls with foul mouths (and rotten teeth) but my 4 years at GPD have been excellent and the friends I have recommended to GPD have all remained happy clients. Nobody is forced to go to a dentist. I choose to go to GPD for their high dentistry standards. read more

These women (and men) changed my life! I came to Glen Park Dental with a severe tongue tie. Dr. Dickerson highly recommended doing myofunctional therapy with Jean Shimuzi in order to have the surgery go as smoothly as possible. Both Jean and Dr. Dickerson were there for me throughout the entire process. Emotionally and physically I felt so cared for. The surgery went incredibly well and my posture, anxiety levels, and sleep have made a complete 180. I have so much more energy and feel like I can take on the world. Anne and the ladies in the front office are also so sweet and kind. Glen Park Dental provides world class care with empathy. read more

4/19/07 If you could see my smile you would be impressed! Despite my initial grumblings about GPD, I can't say anything bad about them. You get what you pay for and I most certainly did! Dr. Dan did amazing things with my teeth implants. My two front teeth look natural, complete with the gum line forming the way it should! He took every measure possible to make sure these are perfect. I would recommend these guys to anyone. Sure they may be a bit more money, and sure they may not allow you to work on credit but in the end you have to ask yourself: "Is my smile worth a bit of trouble and aggravation?" YES SHOULD BE YOUR ANSWER! Thanks GPD Staff! I've been with you for over 10 years and plan to stay. read more

What's up with the polarizing reviews on this place? It's either 5's or 1's, so much so that it doesn't make sense. I've been going to this GPD for 2 years. While they certainly upsell, they also don't shit a brick if you opt out. I go there for cleanings and regular exams, where they scold me for having receding gums. Sorry. On the upside (and this is a big upside) , GPD will always squeeze me in, relatively last minute. This is important because I travel a lot for work and don't know what country/state I'll be in in 2 weeks. Dr.Tom is awesome, he knows what tools I prefer, he's also given super fast cleanings at 10am so I can make an 11am meeting. And yes, this is a boutique dentistry. It's a very nice place with orchids and lots of staff. They have a fridge with snacks while you wait. I don't know how much it costs to come here, because my insurance covers it, but I assume it's not cheap. But since I don't pay for it, it's lovely to go to a posh dentist. Parking is also free and super close, since they are next to 2 BART lots. read more

After being coerced and scammed into getting services we didn't really need, and then being charged a ton of money when we were both initially given estimates of ZERO, we realized that life it too short to be played for fools. Never again. read more

Everyone here is warm, genuinely friendly, helpful, and patient. The entire place is clean as a whistle, the equipment glistens antiseptically (in a good way), and you'd have to be a massive scaredy cat to ever feel any apprehension. I'm withholding one star only because of sticker-shock; maybe I've just gone to discount dentists before, but during the time I had no dental insurance, I was nearly in need of taking out a second mortgage on a home I don't own to pay for treatment of those finicky white thingies in my mouth, several (!) of which were apparently hosting little holes. The moral of this story? Hell, take out the second mortgage. Consider selling your sister (oops, sorry Amanda!). Your mouth is worth it, and these folks do a damn fine job and make you feel relaxed while doing so. Or just make sure you have decent dental insurance. Then you can keep your family members and orange juice + coffee habit, too! read more

After being a patient of Dr. Dan's for over 2 years, my husband and I have finally decided to wise up and find a new dentist. While Dr. Dan's care is good, the prices are outrageous. Even with dual-coverage dental insurance and healthy teeth, we find ourselves dishing out over $2,000 of out of pocket dollars per year. This place has also become less of a dentist's office and more of a 'dental spa' over the past few years, now offering ridiculous add-ons such as fashion/wardrobe consulting! Dr. Dan is also very pushy when it comes to elective, cosmetic procedures. Save yourself the trouble, and find a cheaper dentist! read more

It's not the same place anymore. I went to Glen Park Dental for the first time several weeks ago on the recommendation of a family member. This was prior to reading the reviews here on Yelp. To be perfectly clear, Glen Park Dental is being run by a different staff now and the results are definitely unlike the negative reviews which were written during the time it was owned and run by different personnel. Now, on to my review: Glen Park Dental is not your father's dentist office. The staff excels at what they do best and will immediately earn your trust by being friendly, caring, professional, personable, and compassionate. I'm not sure what planet they all come from (joking) but they have the kindest demeanor and will put you immediately at ease even if you have qualms about going to the dentist's office. The interior puts you in a good mindset because it doesn't have the stereotypical white on white sterile atmosphere that is all too common. Instead, the waiting area and various dentist work stations are done in muted earth tones and subdued lighting. They have the latest dental equipment but have somehow manged to make the atmosphere of the whole office low-key and calming at the same time. They also have some awesome music tracks going on in the background. It's everything you need to relax and have your dental work done. The staff is unbelievably friendly--from the x-ray technicians, dental assistants, hygienists, office staff, and of course, the dentists themselves. They definitely have open ears to their client's needs. If you have had any reservations about going to the dentist or are seeking a new dental office to go to, you'll discover that Glen Park Dental is really a great place. You'll definitely come out smiling. I know I did. Personal Comments: Glen Park Dental is totally revamped and it is sad to see all the negative reviews from the past; Glen Park Dental does not deserve the bad comments any longer. If you will give this place another chance, you'll see first hand that everyone here is dedicated to being friendly and professional. They really care. Give them another chance. read more

I recently switched to Glen Park Dental after spending the last 8 years with the same dentist. I was pleasantly surprised with the level of service my son and I received. The medical professional group was thorough and explained in detail what they were doing in my mouth. They also provided recommendations to enhance my Dental care. The office staff are professional and so kind. Over all it was a positive experience. Big thanks to Bianca for recommending Glen Park Dental! read more

Great friendly service. Dr Carlos hooked me up and found me another office at short notice for a root canal. I cannot express my gratitude enough. read more

Please note that GPD was sold in 2009 and has been under new ownership for a number of years. My review was based on the prior owners and shouldn't be considered useful anymore. read more

I'm a new patient at Glen Park Dental and couldn't be happier. I play musical dentists, by which I mean I switch from one to the next until I'm convinced there are none left and then just stop going. But finally I decided to try again and I'm so glad I did. I scheduled an appt for next month, but last night chipped a tooth, and spent the rest of the night worrying about what to do. When I called in the morning the receptionist was so incredibly helpful - even though I hadn't had a first "official" visit they were happy to let me run in for someone to just take a look to see if I needed urgent care or not. Fortunately for me, the chip was fine, and even better, I had an extremely positive experience. They didn't look me up, bill my insurance, or charge me a dime just to give a quick once-over before reassuring me that waiting til my first appt next month would be fine (phew!). Better yet, I told Dr. Dickerson how much I hate going to the dentist and she took me seriously and briefed me on all sorts of options to make my first appt comfortable and stress-free. They let me run in and out of that office like a tornado, answered all of my questions, and made me feel at ease - they really went above and beyond on that one! So grateful. read more

Holy cow - THIS is what a dentists office and visit should feel like! Wow. All I can say is that my whole family went on the same day, my partner, our older daughter (4) and younger (1) and we all received the best treatment I've ever gotten at a dentist (or doctor for that matter). Dr. Kimberlee Dickerson treated my partner and Dr. Carlos Longa treated me and my older daughter. This is verbatim what he said as he was treating my daughter:"What's most important to me is your daughters experience, if we get to see into her mouth as well, then great. But her feeling comfortable is the most important." While I was in getting pictures taken and my wife was getting a cleaning our younger daughter started to get restless and Katrina (front office) came back and took her out of my lap to play in the front room. She was so kind and loving with our kids. Not only that, but my hygienist Tom was outstanding! I have had other cleaning and gum measurements and never have they been so unobtrusive and gentle. Thanks to the whole crew! GO HERE and thank me later. read more
