Been going to Dr. Andrawess for over 5 years now. Genuine, Kind, Knowledgeable, Professional and just overall the best. Highly (highly!) recommended. Honestly, couldn't imagine going elsewhere at this point. read more

Dr. Andrawess...where do I start. He is phenomenal. I now live in Philadelphia and STILL fly back to see him only. How I found him? Emergency at 5pm w/ a cracked crown from a recent root canal. Panicked because I didn't think anyone would take me at this hour. He put a temporary on and then replaced it with a new crown. Yes, people, I've had a lot of cavities in my life and even a root canal before I hit the dirty 30... I know who a good dentist is and I know who a phenomenal dentist is. His work? Patient and thorough and painless. (True - i never like the numbing q-tip and shot...but that's for the scientists to discover a new way to get around that :) ). His dental assistant and hygienist: very thorough. This office does not rush through their work. When you get rushed (as I have experienced) you will walk out in pain. Dr. Andrawess explains everything very thoroughly about why you must floss (he lit the light bulb for me that flossing is important and causes bad breath, etc,etc...) No other doctor was able to get the important points to me... use your fluoride...etc. As mentioned, almost 30 and no dentist has been able to get it across how important it is. For majority of my visits it's Dr. Andrawess who cleans my teeth. You don't find that often, and I think that is also very important. How else would they really know our (bad) habits and give you tips or even get to know your teeth (or even you for that matter!) I referred my husband, my old work colleague and they absolutely love him as well. He IS WORTH the $300 flight back to CA to get my dental work done. FUN TIP: he has a TV monitor above...if you have cavities and any longer procedure, they'll find your favorite show on netflix, hulu and play it while they are working on you. Very clean office. read more

Dr Andrawess was my dentist for more than a decade when I lived in the Bay Area. He is one of the most knowledgeable, skilled and patient-centric medical professionals who has cared for me. Now that I've moved to the East Coast, I can only hope to replicate the patient experience that I had with Dr Andrawess. If you want to look forward to seeing your dentist, get on his schedule. One last note: his team of receptionists and dental hygienists are also top notch. read more

Dr. Ihab Andrawess was my dentist for a little over a year. Always a great experience with scheduling and appointments. Friendly, thorough, and helpful during all of my visits. I would highly recommend this office for dental hygiene and care. read more

My husband and I have been going to Dr. A's office for the past 10 years and he is wonderful! He and his team are very friendly and the job is very thorough and has never tried to sell us on something we didn't need. Over the past year we started taking our 3yr old daughter and they have done a great job with her as well. We have referred many of our friends over the years so I would highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Andrawess genuinely cares for his patients. He exudes joy and it shows that he loves what he does. He works with excellence. He is very knowledgeable as well and diagnoses accurately. read more

My Dentist moved out of town so I found Dr. Andrawess on Yelp. I am so glad I found him and his practice. Christina did such a thorough job cleaning my teeth and explained everything she was doing. She is incredibly meticulous and very nice. Dr. Andrawess also did a very thorough examination, checking the health of my teeth and gums as well as my ENTIRE mouth, something I didn't experience much with previous dentists. The practice is very honest, friendly and looks out for your best interest. I've already booked my 6 month visit and look forward to going back! read more

Saw the reviews on Yelp and decided to check him out. My dentist back in Michigan is a family relative, so I had to find a good dentist that lives up to my standards. Dr. Andrawess is the perfect choice. He is very detailed and explained everything to me as I got my teeth cleaned. I had a tooth ache and went to see him again. He diagnosed my issue correct and sent me to an Endodontist to get it checked out. I had a root canal done and Dr Andrawess did a great job with my crown. The Endodontist he sent me too was very patient and a great recommendation as well. He is my permanent dentist out here for sure now. read more

Dr. Andrawess is great and I'm very satisfied! :) For first time in my life I don't hate going to the dentist! Every time I go to his office things go very smoothly. He doesn't try to sell me things and he does a great job. I just went back there a few weeks a go to redo one of the fillings form my previews dentist, I didn't have the usual problem with uneven and uncomfortable fillings, he just did the filling and it was perfect! I didn't even had to tell him to make it shorter or anything. Ihab and his Dental Hygienists are also very nice and friendly. We always have a lot of chit-chat , which feels friendly and more than just doing business with them. I would totally recommend them! read more

Will not be back and do not recommend. Feel free to message me privately for details. Yelp wants me to type in a minimum number of words to post this review. read more

I was their patient for about a year and was very satisfied. The doctor was very professional. Their hygienist did a great job at deep cleaning.Their office explained my options and were very helpful with adjusting my treatments so my copay would be as low as possible. read more

My first time visit here, it was amazing. I found my old Dentist Dr. Matt Miller. Now I'm going to tell all my family & friends to relocate to this office... read more

My favorite dentist! I'm not a huge fan of tooth cleaning (not that I dislike it, but I just don't love it and I forget to go for long periods of time, making it worse). Well let's just say after nearly TEN years without a cleaning, Dr. Ihab was the unlucky recipient of my barnacle-encrusted teeth. He came highly recommended on the Google internal dentist list, and I immediately knew why. Besides his obvious passion for his work, being meticulous and patient (he spent well over an hour hand scraping away the crustaceans, with zero notable painful grinding or poking), Dr. Ihab is hilarious and a fun guy to talk to (as much as talking is possible with your mouth open wide.) Years later, after many years of service, one of my teeth finally developed an unfortunate crater and needed filled. It was my first filling and I was somewhat worried about how it would go. In the end, I needn't have been. Ihab did a stellar job making the procedure as painless and smooth as possible, and in the end I had more laughs than grimaces that visit, this guy has some great stories and my tooth looks as good as new! The Dental Hygienists on the team are very thorough and also really care about their craft. I especially enjoy Dani, who has a magic touch for flossing and is very gentle! read more

I've had good and bad experiences with Dentists.. Dr Andrawess is a dentist that gives a damn and that shows in his care, his gentleness and his passion for dentistry. Few Dentists I have seen check for mouth cancer. I have seen him for the past 5 years! read more

I first went to Dr Andrawess two years back when I had a lot of build up, some shaky teeth, bleeding gums and a wisdom tooth that had a whole new set of other problems. Dr Andrawess at that time did a complete examination of my teeth and suggested a number of procedures. I got a deep cleaning done, some cavities filled and the troublesome wisdom tooth was extracted. Dr Andrawess carried out all of these procedures meticulously and they were almost painless. After a few visits to his clinic, I asked Dr Andrawess what I could do to make sure I keep my teeth intact. He was very honest with me and said the only way to do so was by flossing and brushing the right way, everyday, and following his instructions to maintain dental hygiene. I did as I was told by Dr Andrawess. Recently I visited him after about 12 months of my last cleaning job. I was expecting very little cleaning since I felt I was doing a good job at maintaining dental hygiene. When Christina confirmed by saying that my teeth were in almost impeccable condition, I felt great. She said if I continue doing whatever I have been doing for the last 12 months, I will surely be able to keep all my teeth for a long time. She also asked me not to skip my half yearly clean up appointments. I will make sure I dont. I am glad I found Dr Andrawess and his team of dentists. Two years back, another dentist I visited before going to Dr Andrawess, had suggested more tooth extractions and said it was very unlikely that I would be able to keep all my teeth. I am super happy to know he was wrong. After the great experience with Dr Andrawess, I trust him and his team and would highly recommend him. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Ihab for 8 years. He and his team are the best. The cleanings are thorough, and the service is always great.

Always a great experience here. Dr. Andrawess and staff take good care of all there patients. Scheduling appointments are very easy. They respond to there emails in a timely manner, and care to give you feedback. read more

Dr. Andrawess has been a fantastic dentist for years, which is excellent since he is located across the street from my Palo Alto apartment. Highly recommend for a no-nonsense, nice dentist with a capable staff in beautiful Palo Alto. read more

Dr. Andrawess is the best dentist I have ever had - he always takes the time to answer my questions and makes sure I know what he is doing. I've never had any trouble scheduling appointments. And the added bonus of the DVD player so I can watch TV shows makes the visit just fly by. I agree with Steve C when he says Dr. A doesn't oversell you and will let you know when a procedure is unnecessary or if there is a more cost efficient way to the same result. Added bonus, free parking lot in the back! read more

I've been going to Dr. Andrawess for 4 years now, and was so happy with his work that I continued to go to him even after I moved out of Palo Alto all the way up to SF. He's honest, responsive, patient, and good-humored -- I plan on continuing with him until my teeth fall out, which thanks to him will probably be a very long time :) read more

Dr. Andrawess is great dentist with a hummer senesce :) he practice is very honest, friendly and looks out for your best interest. I am sooo happy with the service the provide and totally I recommend him ... read more

Dr Andrawess is not only a terrific dentist who works quickly and efficiently, he is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely cares for his patients. He is always VERY sensitive to not causing discomfort or pain when cleaning or operating and augments it with a precise and steady pair of hands. He won't try to sell you a bunch of expensive solutions, but will instead teach you how to brush and floss properly. Furthermore, his schedule is normally quite accommodating with little or no wait as he is punctual as well. read more

Dr. Andrawess provides personal attention, even for the smallest of tasks. He's very detail oriented, and conducts comprehensive exams and carefully executes treatment plans. When I've experienced unexpected pain, he's found a way to create space in his calendar to evaluate the issue promptly. And i always feel like my health and my interests are placed above all else -- especially when we discuss alternative treatment plans. Oh, and he's a genuinely nice man and I can honestly say that I enjoy my visit to the dentist! read more

I'm so happy Dr. Andrawess is my dentist. I was terrified of going to the dentist until I went to him. Now I'm not scared anymore! He is very careful not to cause any discomfort and constantly makes sure you are OK. His staff is great too! read more

Best dentist. Honest and does great work. Very conservative with treatment options and looks out for your best interest.

Dr. Andrawess is brilliant, by far the best dentist I've ever been to. Soft touch, and very friendly.

I go to Dr. Ihab from 2007 I even do not mind after we moved to drive to his office almost 2 hours,and he always take excellent care of me and my wife we really recommend him to everyone we know. read more

I hate going to the dentist (doesn't everyone?), and especially hate getting dental work done. Dr. Andrawess is a whole different story. He is seriously the kindest, friendliest, and most skilled dentist I've ever met. My husband and I both have been going to him for 2.5 years now and will continue to go to him exclusively. This includes driving from Oakland or wherever we end up next, because it's worth it. We'll also take our daughter to him when it's time (she's only 7 mo). He makes going to the dentist a pleasure... well, almost! ;-) read more

- Great attention to detail. My wife said my teeth have never been cleaner. - Thorough cleaning and exam. Two out of two times that I've been here, Dr. Andrawess does the entire cleaning himself (as opposed to a dental assistant, which has been my experience everywhere else) - Relaxing environment. - Great chair-side manner. read more

I specifically created a yelp account to write a review of Dr. Andrawess. Two weeks ago, I made my initial appointment with him based on the positive reviews others gave him here. Now that I have seen him myself and now that I have interacted with his staff, I felt compelled to share my thoughts (in case it helps someone else who might be looking for a dentist). In short, he is truly exceptional. I wish I had found him years ago. He is kind, caring, and thorough. I honestly did not think I would be so impressed by a dental practitioner. From the beginning, he and his staff (Lana and Kristina) went the extra mile to schedule an appointment for me. For years, I have been a bad patient -- putting off scheduling routine dental care. At the last minute, with my dental insurance about to expire, his office squeezed me in so that I could get the appointment covered before my insurance ran out. Once at the office, check in was a breeze. The forms were thorough but demonstrate the philosophy of the practice. Dentistry is about more than the tooth. Dental health is intricately connected to many aspects of medicine and Dr. Andrawess and his staff are genuinely concerned with overall patient well-being. The exam was thorough and all steps were explained in detail. He is clearly a skilled dentist who knows his craft. Unfortunately, it was immediately apparent that I needed an urgent root canal. Given both the acuity of the dental problem and the temporal limitations of my insurance, Dr. Andrawess, Lana, and Kristina literally stopped what they were doing and called around to the best Palo Alto endodontists until they found an excellent one able to see me that very day. Then, they communicated my history and immediately emailed my dental x-rays to that office. (Of note, as Dr. Andrawess did not perform the procedure himself, the significant time and resources he devoted to facilitating my care was reflective of his dedication and personal generosity.) In short, I cannot recommend Dr. Andrawess highly enough. If you had told me a few weeks back that I would create a Yelp account solely to write a lengthy review of a dentist, I would have laughed Yet, here I am doing just that. Simply put, he is far and away the most thorough and caring dentist I have ever met (and being in medicine myself, I have encountered many, many dental professionals). Trust your dental health to him and his staff and you will not be disappointed. read more

I cannot recommend this office. I had cleaning appointment last week at Dr. Andrawess office. This appointment does include annual x-ray. When I came over I was notified that x-ray machine is not working and they cannot make my x-ray. I agreed to have cleaning only. I do find it unprofessional that someone from the office didn't call me to notify me that x-ray machine is not working. If I would know this I would rather reschedule this appointment. I was re-scheduled for today to get x-ray as well as 2 fillings if x-ray will confirm I need them. Dr. Andrawess assured me last time that x-ray machine will be working for my next appointment. Nobody called me to notify that x-ray machine still was not fixed. I came to the office today and was told that x-ray machine is not fixed. I had to drive to dental office today, ask whether x-ray machine is working since they even didn't bother to tell this themselves, talk to receptionist and leave without any dental work and next scheduled appointment. I find such behavior highly unprofessional and disrespectful. I have never had such situation when I would come to the dentist office and dentist would tell me that something in his/her office is not working. It is devastating that I had to come 2 times in a row to find out that x-ray machine is not working. Receptionist said that if I need x-ray I need to reschedule appointment. She offered me 2 times that didn't work for me. She was not co-operative and considered that it is normal for patient to waste time by coming over to learn that x-ray machine is not working. Dentist did witness this conversation and didn't do anything to resolve this problem. It looks like this office doesn't know how to make phone call and tell patient that x-ray machine is not working. Or it may be they are not interested to have me as a patient for some reason. Now you need to decide whether you want to go to such dentist that doesn't respect patient and would waste your time by making you to come over to learn that some procedure like x-ray cannot be done at your scheduled appointment. read more

Dr. Andrawess is the dentist of many Google employees and he's wonderful. After a long day, he's caught me nodding off in the chair, and we both got a laugh-- that's the best recommendation for a dentist! read more

I chipped my tooth and called Dr. Andrawess the very next day. Even though I had no appointment or anything he slipped me into his schedule and he quickly saw me. He was very professional and friendly and didn't try to oversell. I would definitely recommend him! read more

I found Dr. Andrawess since he was one of the most recommended dentists by Googlers. I've seen him for a couple years and so far things have been going great. My only complaint is that once or twice I did not receive the standard 6-month reminder and needed to keep track of that on my own. read more

Gentle, kind, patient dentist with a nice office staff. He even does his own cleanings which I love. What more could you ask for?

Moved out of the area and am sad, since this dentist was probably the best I've had since that dentist when I was a kid who would make jokes to blunt the horrifying nature of a masked adult approaching you with implements of torture. Does a very thorough, skilled job and does NOT try to recommend unnecessary routines to make money off of you. Will miss you, Dr. Andrawess! read more

Adding to the other great comments on Dr. Andrawess ... I first started with him in Boston about 15 years ago, where over half of my startup loved him. Was thrilled when I discovered he had also moved out to the west coast. I'd echo the comments from other reviews: great attention to detail and just a very nice, engaging style that sets you immediately at ease. I'd add that his work is great, and I would know ... have 2 crowns and several fillings from 15 years ago that are still going strong. Cannot recommend him enough, easily the best dentist I've had. read more

Magnificent! I never write reviews but must say the team here is outstanding. Christina is hands down the best dental hygienist I've come across, and Dr. Andrawess is highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable. I am also a doctor, and I was very impressed with his clinical acumen. For those of you at Stanford with Delta Dental, this is the place to go. read more

Dr. Andrawess is the bee's knees. A real mensch. A great dentist. I adore him and his staff.

Dr. Andrawess was my dentist back in 2000 when I lived in Boston and I loved him! I have since moved (as has he, I see) and have not had luck finding a dentist as good as he is! He really knows his stuff and is so sensitive and funny! A sense of humor is super important in a dental situation, at least for me! I received the best dental care ever with him! I was sad to lose him! read more
