I chose not to work with this office after my first visit due to the poor communication and greedy quotations they provided. They told me I have to do a bunch of unnecessary procedures that my previous dentists never had. I also consulted with another dentist after and they confirmed these procedures were excessive and not necessary. After a series of conversations, the quotation proposal was changed dramatically to 50% of the original, which made me question the honesty of their price. I tried to continue to work with them by requesting a basic service. But they refused to provide any. Instead, they claimed due to their clinic standard, they only had a more advanced service which will take more money out of my pocket after my insurance coverage. In the end, they pushed me away to see another dentist, which made me feel very disappointed and frustrated. It's the opposite experience than I expected when I saw such a high score on Yelp and Zocdoc. I'd like to warn potential patients, please compare the prices with other institutions before you say yes, you probably only need to pay half of it. read more

I've been a patient for 20 yrs. Dr Hall does great work and I've never had any problems during a procedure or after having work done. And I've had some work done: root canal, crowns, fillings...Very happy with my teeth because of Dr Hall! I also look forward to my appts because I get to see Dr Hall, Charlotte, Joy, Lucy, and now Dr J. They're all so nice, friendly and personable, I feel like I'm part of the "Dr Hall family"! read more

Very good service. I had two fillings done in less than an hour. The prices are very reasonable and the service is amazing. I've worked with many practices in San Francisco and these guys are among the best. Will be back for my cleaning in 6 months. read more

Kelvin and the entire staff at his office are fantastic. I've been going to them for over a year now, and he has helped me keep my dental health on track. He explains things very calmly and clearly, and offers great advice for overall oral health and hygiene. Charlotte at the front desk is wonderful as well- I highly recommend going to see them! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Kelvin Hall since 1986, yes, a very long time. I have had teeth cleanings, tooth extractions, root canals, fillings, caps and bridges done here. Dr Hall and his staff are all very friendly, accommodating and professional and are almost like family to me. The location is great, near Union Square where many modes of public transportation and places to eat abound! I highly recommend Dr Hall and his staff, they do great dental work! read more

As a SF transplant, I've found it difficult to find a trusted, reliable dentist. That all changed when I visited Dr. Hall's office. He clearly outlined the steps for short term and long term dental health with varying options to fix dental issues he identified. He also took the time to help me understand exactly why these issues exist and his reasoning behind the methods he recommended to fix them. I also had a wonderful experience with the office receptionist both from a scheduling standpoint as well as treating me with nothing but hospitality and care once I arrived to my first appointment. Highly recommend a visit to Dr. Hall! read more

I have been going to Dr. Hall for about 2 years now, and let me just say this is the BEST dentist in town! Prior to Dr. Hall, I was TERRIFIED of going to the dentist. In fact, I was so terrified I was 6 years late in getting a teeth cleaning and check up. As soon as I got my new job with health insurance, I decided to buck up and get some dental work done. My colleague referred me to his childhood dentist, and as soon as I made a visit to Dr. Hall I was so happy I did. All of the staff are considerate, sweet, and thoughtful. Shout out to Joy and Charlotte!!! Dr. Hall is very attentive and listens to your concerns. On my first visit, I was very nervous and scared, and he made sure to take his time and explain the process of my root canal, cleaning, etc.. step by step... and always checked to make sure I was comfortable. Since my first visit, I have referred Dr. Hall to my boyfriend and friends. There are about 6 of us going to Dr. Hall now and each and every time any one of us are there, they ALWAYS remember to ask about all of us. It's very strange, but totally awesome, that they are that considerate that they remember the names of each friend I have referred. Anyway, I can't say anymore, except that if you absolutely detest going to the dentist but still want to keep your teeth as you get older? You should make an appointment here and tell Joy I say hello. :) read more

My husband has gone here for 9 years and has had no complaints at all. He loves the receptionists and respects the dentist. I hate going to any dentist. I've had a lot of expensive problems with dentists and my teeth over the past few years. I'm hoping that my appointment with Dr. Hall will be a welcome change. So far, I've only made an appointment, but the person I spoke with was professional and kind. Stay tuned... read more

Dr. Hall and his son are fantastic people and exceptional dentists who take their time to care for each and every patient. The experience can best be described as laid back and the perfect 'getaway from the office' in a nice, relaxing atmosphere. They make the most of their tight space on the 13th floor and don't disappoint with their desire to provide top notch dental care. Dr. Hall warned me in advance of a couple of issues that could impact my dental health long term. We were able to get a procedure scheduled and what could have been a long term problem was averted. I recommended them to a friend and she remains happy. Joy is at the front desk and really the gem at this office. Go see them if you have any dental needs big or small. read more

I was surprised to see some negative notes about Dr. Hall on yelp, so I wanted to give my $0.02. I've had a few visits with him and have never once felt that he has tried to charge me for anything that was not needed. Additionally, the one time I did need additional attention, he was very clear about its costs and what my insurance covered. I have been very happy with him, and it was very unfortunate to see his integrity questioned. Of course, I'll write if anything changes. The ladies in the front office have treated me just fine, and have always been very friendly. read more

Everyone here is so lovely and helpful! They really make you feel welcome and valued as a patient. I had a pleasant experience getting routine care and felt comfortable and knowledgable the whole time. Joy was very attentive throughout my x-rays, and Dr. Hall explained my x-rays and dental health crystal clear to ensure I understood everything. I enjoyed talking with both of them and felt relaxed and safe throughout my stay. I look forward to returning! read more

Dr Hall and staff are amazing! I've been with Dr Hall for 5 years and am beyond happy with the service I've received. I've recommended him to all my friends and got my wife to change from her dentist to Dr Hall. We both agree that this is by a long way the best dental practice we've ever experienced. If you are considering a new dentist, you will most certainly not be disappointed with Dr Hall. read more

When I moved to San Francisco in the early 2000's, I mentioned to a friend who was a lifelong San Francisco resident that I needed to find a dentist. Kelvin Hall was his dentist and he recommended him highly. I've now been seeing Dr. Hall for about 15 years, and have been very happy with his service the entire time. He has a great manner, remembering details both about my dental history and personal interest whenever I visit. His office staff is also extremely professional, efficient and friendly. When I was considering orthodontic work as an adult, he provided referrals to several different orthodontists; after I visited three orthodontists and was confused about the options, he took the time to talk with me through the pros and cons and interpretation of what I'd heard. Similarly he provided great counsel when i needed periodontics. I feel like he has always presented a balance view of dental work, taking the time to explain what he's seeing; what's necessary and what could wait and be monitored. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a dentist in San Francisco. read more

My entire family have been going to Dr. Hall's office for a while, and I always find him excellent clinically as well as the stuff that is not clinical. He is very knowledgeable and, most of all, he is such a nice person! Among all my doctors, I like this office the best. BTW, I was so very surprised to read some negative comments. And some playing violin. Dr. Hall's office is more than caring and understanding as I have known for approx. 28 years. My entire family members are extremely happy with office and Dr. Hall. read more

Dr Kelvin Hall has been our dentist for about 20 years, and we have had nothing but great experiences whenever we needed work done. Dr. Hall helps us keep a bright smile. And of course we love the staff - Joy, Lucy and Charlotte. I had a pinhole surgical technique done in January 2016, and I must say I am extremely happy with the procedure itself and also with the follow-up. I experienced absolutely no pain or discomfort whatsoever. Dr. Hall also checked up on me after the procedure, and I have had only positive follow-up visits. I would recommend Dr. Hall for anyone requiring this type of procedure! read more

I've been seeing Dr Kelvin Hall for at least 15 years. He was recommended through a friend and has been my go to ever since. I COMPLETELY trust him. He always explains what he is doing, gives me all the options, lets me know the costs and follows up on my condition. What I like most of all, is going to see him fells like going to visit a friend. We even talk about our family lives and he seems to have a true concern. His support staff is great as well. The ever sweet Joy and the lovely Charlotte always make sure I am following my home care and make sure I don't forget about my follow ups. His dental assistant is very good as well. I recommend Dr Hall to all my friends who need a dentist. His referrals have been greAt as well. Thanks for taking care of me over all these years, Dr Hall! read more

A year and a half later, the pinhole surgery for my gum restoration is still holding well. I highly recommend Dr. Hall.

I've been a patient here since 2010 and have no need to look any further. Dr. Hall is professional and attentive; I never feel rushed, and he's always thorough when answering my questions. He recently replaced my veneers, and I couldn't be happier. I now have a more even smile, and the front office even helped me to maximize my insurance refund. To top it off, Joy at the front desk is a delight to speak with. read more

I've been meaning to review this incredibly great family business for some time. And my recent experience was so special that I'm finally writing: Dr. Hall came in on a Saturday just to repair a tooth before his vacation. I've been a patient of Dr. Kelvin Hall for at least 10 years. I now also see his son, Dr. Justin Hall, and have long-term experience with his administrative team, including Joy and Dr. Hall's partner, Charlotte. In my experience, Hall Dental deserves the highest recommendation for their exceptional, meticulous dental work; thorough, clear, and trusted advice on dental issues--including the why's, when's, pro's/con's and costs of any needed work; thoughtful professionalism, and warm, personalized way of relating to clients. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Hall for a very long time for my dental care. Every visit is always pleasant and he is very informative with any procedure that needs to be done. What I like it that he provides helpful information for preventative care and customizes the visit to your dental needs. He is willing to answer the many questions I always have and very knowledgeable. Joy at the front desk is always a pleasure to work with and the office is very flexible with scheduling when I am having to make changes to my scheduled appointment. The entire team there is very helpful and a joy to work with. I definitely recommend Dr. Hall for all dental care. read more

Wonderful experience -- Dr. Justin Hall is not only very knowledgeable but takes the time to explain his diagnoses and treatment options in an understandable way. Warm and welcoming family practice that truly puts their patients first. Highly recommend. read more

I have been a loyal client of Dr. Hall for 15 years. The entire staff is caring, considerate and just incredibly pleasant to deal with. I wouldn't consider seeing another dentist and am happy to refer anyone looking for an excellent dentist to Hall Dental. read more

I really loved him but slowly he started laying one filling after filling. I have never needed a filling in my life and after coming out of there I had 12. i guess it was my fault for failing to get a second opinion. Why does it have to be so hard to trust anyone in the dental industry? read more

Dr. Hall is fantastic, fact he is the spectacular dentist who put my teeth back together! Seriously, other dentists I have had really don't compare to his experience and skill level. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Hall for about 3 years and cannot recommend him more highly. My sister, brother in law, and husband all see him as well and have been for many years. He makes the visits very smooth, I've never waited more than a few minutes in the waiting area. Also you spend most of your visit with the doctor as opposed to the hygienist. He is never pushy with treatment recommendations but gives his advice on any procedure or treatment. Additionally Joy at the front desk is absolutely fantastic. She has always reached out to our insurance agency to check on any potential costs or coverage, always sends appointment reminders when needed, and makes the appointment super easy. Would highly recommend to anyone! read more

Fantastic dentist, business, and people. Always start on time, and Dr. Hall does a great job of letting you know what he's doing.

Dr. Hall is incredibly knowledgeable about all things dentist-related, and as a result I left my appointment feeling like I learned more about my own mouth than I ever had previously. He was very patient with the cleaning, and was very positive about ways I can improve my brushing/flossing going forward. I don't normally feel strongly about doctor recommendations, but a visit to Dr. Hall will greatly improve your dental experience. read more

I have been going to Dr. Hall for several years. He does the cleaning himself and is gentle, professional and fun to talk with (even though it's hard to talk while getting your teeth cleaned). You can watch movies during your appointment, too. Joy, who schedules and calls to remind you about your appointment is super super nice. They do a great job and make going to the dentist not that bad of an experience. read more

I had orthodontics when I was young and frequented the dentist as well, but as an adult I neglected my dental care. As a result, I finally got to the point where I had a tooth fall out. With the need to visit a dentist extremely great, I consulted with friends and coworkers for a good recommendation. This was in 2001, before the Yelp Era had begun. I received a great recommendation from a trusted friend for Dr. Hall and so began a lengthy relationship with this dental office. I've had more work done than I could possibly ever recount from memory. I can say, however, that all the crowns, fillings, bridges, inlays, etc., have served me well for the past 14 years. Dr. Hall has always provided extremely professional care, reviewing the work that needed to be done and providing understandable explanations for the work he proposed. I visited again today for a regular cleaning and checkup. Unlike years past, there was no new work required to keep my teeth and gums healthy. I attribute this to the work Dr. Hall has done in the past and his gentle persuasion to brush and floss regularly. There is more to choosing a dentist than just the dentist. There is the office staff. This is perhaps where Dr. Hall's office really excels. The office staff is professional and friendly, and they are stable. I see the same people every time I visit and I find great comfort with their ongoing knowledge of my care. For those of you looking for a dentist in San Francisco, I'd like to play the role of my friend from way back when and offer the recommendation of Dr. Hall. You will be very satisfied. read more

Dr Hall is a great dentist, I've been seeing him for over 20 years and every procedure has gone well. His crowns are incredible. They fit perfectly and last. He is calm, professional and a man who loves his job. He'll take great care of your teeth. read more

Dr. Hall is awesome, and does not use poisonous mercury fillings! I've never had issues with any of the work he has done. If you needed lots of work, it could be that your previous insurance didn't cover enough and they ignored small issues, unlike Dr. Hall. That happened to me before years ago, and when I lost my insurance I had 14 cavities that had been ignored by my previous dentist!! read more

How many people can say they ENJOY going to the dentist? I honestly enjoy laying back in the comfy chair and chatting with Dr. Hall and catching up on family matters as well as the state of my teeth. I was amazed after doing a little math that he's been looking in my mouth and maintaining my teeth for 28 years! The office staff is also consistently friendly and professional. When a wisdom tooth suddenly showed up last year, Dr Hall gave me a referral to a wonderful oral surgeon and followed up on the procedure. Any work I've had done in Dr Hall's chair has been performed without pain and it always holds up well. He's a skilled dentist and nice person too! read more

I recently went to see Dr. Hall to get a crown done, which I have procrastinated for ever out of fear. A coworker recommended Dr. Hall, and it was the best referral ever! He was extremely skillful and gentle in giving the injection, and explained to me what was being done in each stages. I also got to watch a movie during the procedure for a distraction. And it worked fabulously! His support staff was also amazing! It was the best dental experience I have ever had. read more

I have been going to Hall Dentistry for years and I can't recommend it highly enough. The staff are friendly, and both Dr. Kelvin Hall and Dr. Justin Hall are skilled clinicians who explain dental health in an accessible way. In my experience they are timely, professional, and make going to the dentist as hassle-free as possible. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Hall for more than 20 years. He provides excellent care and has a friendly demeanor. I really appreciate that he takes the time to explain why a potential procedure is necessary. My teeth and dental health are in excellent shape due to his care. His office staff are very professional, courteous and efficient. Joy is great - very friendly and accommodating. I very much appreciate that he is always on time for appointments. I don't recall a time that I've ever had to wait past the scheduled time. They run a tight ship! I highly recommend Dr. Hall if you are in search of a highly qualified, professional dentist. read more

I have been going to Kelvin Hall for the lat 3 years and it has been a fantastic experience. Kelvin is friendly and extremely knowledgeable. I know I can trust his recommendations and has your best interest in mind. I recently switched to his son Justin, who studied at Georgetown and Columbia. I continue to be very impressed and look forward to my appointments to the dentist. read more

I've been seeing Dr Hall for 3 decades now and it feels like home. And now Dr Hall has his son Justin joining his practice so that work will carry on.. read more

This review is long overdue. I've been a patient of Dr. Hall for eons, 20+ years. I can not say enough good things about him and his staff. I am one who is completely terrified of the dentist due to bad experiences as a child. Dr. Hall is so down to earth and easy to talk to, he makes one feel comfortable and at ease. When doing a procedure, he's always mindful and asks if you're doing okay. And just the other day, I discovered that his son, Dr. J, has the same thoughtful chair side manners. Dr. J is very thorough, just as down to earth, and an overall fantastic dentist. Charlotte and Joy are always accommodating and you're always well taken care of. Lucy who assists is awesome, from assisting to taking X-rays, she's great at what she does. This team of people have worked together for quite some time now and show great pride in what they do. It's a fantastic team and should be proud. I highly recommend both Dr. Hall and Dr. J, they're both fantastic. read more

I am new to Dr Hall's practice. I see a Dentist twice a year. When I first saw Dr Hall he told me about priority issues and showed me photos of the problem areas. No one else had mentioned I had potentially serious problems. Thanks Dr Hall! read more

I have always hated going to the dentist. I don't like the needles because it's always painful when they stick you. With Dr. Hall, I didn't have any problems. Whatever he does to numb the area works great. I'm very relaxed and comfortable with him and his staff. He lets you know what he's doing the whole time that he's working on you. His staff is very welcoming and makes me feel good when I have an appointment. read more
