If I could give more stars I would...I've been coming to this office since 1995 and trust them eternally. Now my children go to them too! Dr. Iverson identified an issue with my son's mouth I had no idea existed and referred us to an orthodontist to fix the issue and really did him such a service to help correct a problem early. Separately, my new partner was not a patient of Dr. Iverson (he is now!), and he cracked a tooth-of course on a Saturday evening. We called the emergency line, and Dr. Iverson to the rescue! Dr. Iverson came in on Sunday, got us a referral to an oral surgeon, and he was able to get it fixed the next day! It's so infrequent that you find a provider that goes the extra distance to really care for their patients, and Dr. Iverson does just that! read more

Really rude people (front desk and Dr. Iverson in particular). Persistent billing errors. Can't keep a hygienist. No understanding of the effects of an allogeneic SCT on dental health. Just got worse and worse. Would give zero stars if I could. read more

Dr. Iverson and Dr. Syers are the most caring and thoughtful dentist I have ever encountered. I have been a patient for at least 15 years, and even after moving to the peninsula I could not find another dentist with the same level of advanced dental care I received from them and have continued as a loyal patient throughout the years. read more

I have been going to Dr. Todd Iverson for some yrs now, & have to say he is thee BEST dentist in the Bay Area YUP!!! I love him. I have recommend my entire family & friends, because the staff is amazing & I LOVE how gentle Shadelly is when cleaning my teeth. My son went for the first time and didn't complain at all. I really go the ChapStick, cuz it's the best LOL!! no forreal it really is. Collen & Gigi set the atmosphere making it enjoyable to be in the office while having work done to your teeth. I'm so glad I found this dentist office, I have been very happy with all my work that I have had done by Dr. Iverson!!!! read more

Iverson & Syers, DDS - Teeth cleaning by Shadelly!!!! - General Dentistry Near Me - San Francisco, California

I am a long-standing patient and huge fan of Drs. Iverson and Syers - having been treated by both. I am also a HUGE fan of their office staff and hygienists, particularly Elaine. The team at the office make every visit a pleasure - appointments start on time, everyone is friendly, cleanings are thorough and efficient, and anytime I have questions, Dr. Iverson or Syers are happy to spend the time answering my questions. I know many people don't like to go to the dentist, but take it from me, this office will change the way you think about going to the dentist. You will actually look forward to your twice yearly visits, just like me! I have referred friends and family members to this practice. They are the best. read more

"Sixty-eight (68) percent of patients who leave one practice and start doing business with another practice do so because they feel their business was taken for granted by a practice that displayed an attitude of indifference." http://www.drdonnagalante.com/why-do-dental-practices-lose-patients/. That has been my experience of late, and led to my changing dentists. Sad to feel that way after upwards of 15 years as a patient, and after having entrusted them with the care of my dementia afflicted mother. read more

Not only is Dr. Iverson one of the least professional providers I have ever encountered (bad mouthing his peers), but his work is so shoddy he doesn't not standby it for repairs! Look elsewhere for good or even mediocre dental care. read more

My visit was ruined by a lack of bedside manner. Dr. Syers assistant was aggressive and took very little care to make sure I knew what was going on. She was brutal..gentle wasn't even in her vocabulary. I realize the need to teach in these situations, but at least 3 hands in my mouth the entire tire, stretching my mouth open so both people could see what was going on. They were working simultaneously without communicating with each other. She was coming in hot both with her hands and every tool at her disposal, which left me flinching the entire time. The doctor at times tried softly to call off her attendant "I've got it", but when she continues stubbornly, you'd expect as a patient for the doctor to take control, but this didn't happen. Imagine what that does for your confidence as a patient. If it was just Dr. Syers in the room, I would definitely recommend her, but because she failed to control her assistant, I had an awful experience and left with a sore mouth plus a great deal of stress I didn't walk in with. read more

From my experience and this is my opinion, I would not recommend this dental office. Over the course of a little over a year, I consistently had to pay extra on top of my insurance for normal dental cleanings. Secondly, I could not eat cold foods for months following a molar cavity filling because my teeth on the one side had become so sensitive. This was very concerning as I had never experienced that before (I have had a couple cavities, admittedly). In addition, they suggested that I use an anti-cavity rinse following my cavity filling. The rinse seemed helpful at first, but after continued use, it inflamed my gums (my bf looked online and these rinses are actually known to inflame gums so I discontinued use of it). When I came back for a follow-up visit soon after, they were "concerned" about my gums and the dental technician suggested (and Iverson agreed) that I come in for gum deep cleaning for which I would be put under. That was the last straw, and I found a new dentist. I wanted to trust this dental office, especially because they were highly recommended to me by a friend, but there was always something I felt that was a little 'off'. I was right. I am happy with my current dentist because I feel they are honest, they won't overcharge me and they won't try to talk me into getting procedures that are not necessary and may be potentially dangerous. Again, this is my opinion from my experience. On the plus side (hence the two stars as opposed to one), they have a friendly staff, and there are nice additions like they give you bottled water and cute little lip balms. They have dental chairs that lightly massage and they provide protective eye wear when they work on you. These extras are nice, but this may be why I was consistently charged more per visit, which in my opinion, is not worth it. I would rather go to a no-frills, clean dental office with dentists I can trust. **And don't be fooled by their multiple 5-star reviews as many of them are fake (reviewers have only 1-2 reviews written solely to pump up ratings). read more

I've seen Dr Syers for the better part of the last decade and she's fantastic. She always provides great explanations and the staff is also super-strong read more

ummm I love my dentist! How often can you say that you enjoyed your appointment at the dentists'? Never. I had a plumdistrict voucher for a full exam / xray / clean at Iverson & Syers that I bought over a year ago so decided to go in to get a full clean (after all it had been over a year). Appointment wasn't easy to make since they are only open M-F, and the hours aren't that long. Upon walking in I was greeted with a friendly receptionist. Then I was introduced to Todd, nicest dentist ever. He examined my teeth and then went on to explain my xray. I knew a thing or two about what to look for and how to understand the xray and he said I was a "smart" patient - the kind he likes to work with. I'm a sucker for people confirming that I'm smart so I was sold there. lol. Anyway, after the exam, and after a thorough clean with the hygienist I left the office happy. As per Jessie's review, I'll have to see how this continues, but my first impression of Dr Todd Iverson was ****** 5 stars. read more

Best dentist visit since I was a kid! I loved going to the dentist as a kid. No cavities, just cleanings and oohs and ahhs over my great my teeth. As an adult , I got out of the habit of going to the dentist. The longer I stayed away the less I wanted to visit. I didn't want any bad news and I didn't want to be lectured about how bad I was for not going to the dentist. By the time I made an appointment with Dr. Iverson, I was sure all my teeth were rotting out of head and I was going straight to dental purgatory. Dr. Iverson and Gigi, his dental assistant, were super nice. No lectures about my bad dental habits. They were great about explaining everything and talking me off the ledge. My teeth weren't rotting out of my head just a few cavities to fill. Whew! I am very happy to say I no longer dread dental visits and I will get my check ups regularly from now on. Promise! read more

I've been going to Dr. Iverson and his wife Dr. Syers since they were in dental school and used me as a test palette for those wretched dental tools. Even then, they were professional, skillful and had great chair-side manner. Now, with a beautiful office and an incredibly helpful staff, they have taken all the scary out of a trip to the dentist. Since they opened their office downtown about 7 years ago- I give their business card out every chance I get. I've sent them a hockey player who was missing teeth, a guy who hadn't been to the dentist in over 15 years and several finicky patients who rejected other dentists. Everyone I've sent them has agreed with me that Dr. Iverson and Dr. Syers provide excellent care, sound recommendations and make going to the dentist significantly more fun than, well, um... going to the dentist. read more

I wrote a review back in 2011. At that time, I gave Iverson & Syers 4 stars when they made good on a problem I had with their back office staff and insurance. It's time to revisit this having just had a time-critical need to see the dentist. Todd Iverson dropped what he was doing, postponed an engagement outside the office and made sure I was taken care of. He did a great job and I really appreciated it. A porcelain veneer on one of my front teeth had popped off over the weekend and pretty much destroyed my smile. :-( I was afraid to open my mouth around other people due to the ugly "stump" of a tooth that was left. I was leaving on a trip in less than 72 hours so there was no time to spare. I called Dr. Iverson's office and they got me in within 3 hours of my call. Again, Dr. Iverson told someone in the office "call them and them 'em I'll be late...." after I had planted myself in his dental chair and he looked at what he needed to do. He then carefully crafted a temporary composite veneer to restored my smile in advance of my trip. I'll have to go back and get the real veneer, but he made sure I was good to go in the mean time. read more

I'm quick to admit that the dentist office isn't a trip I look forward to, but, all things considered, they're fantastic! Could't have been a better experience / service; won't hesitate to recommend them to anyone willing to listen. read more

I was a patient here for quite some time when Dr.Hoedt was the lead dentist at the office. When Dr.Iverson took over, it went downhill fast. Both dentists were incredibly rude and did not do a good job. They told me I had a "small cavity" that I needed to get filled, but I could wait until the next time I came in. The next time I came in they didn't mention the cavity and said I had none. This happened two different times, leading me to believe they lie about you having a cavity in order for you to come in and pay to get it filled. Aside from that, they were highly judgmental that I had veneers done at a different practice. So much so that even after I left Dr.I & S's practice, they mention it to my sister every time she has went in for a check-up since I left, continuing to make rude comments for no reason. I know it's my sister, but their comments were also technically a violation of HIPPA. Do yourself a favor and switch to a competent, skilled, and nicer dentist. There are plenty of them in downtown San Francisco. read more

Dr. Iverson is really as good as it gets! From top to bottom his office carries out outstanding care. I'm not a fan of going to the dentist at all. He understands this and his entire staff makes me feel comfortable throughout the entire visit. Great guy, great dentist, great staff! read more

I used to go to this creepy dentist who smashed my face into her abundant breasts, inevitably had herring breath no matter the time of day and gossiped endlessly with her hygienist about the latest birthday party she had attended. I loathed routine teeth cleanings and failed to understand why some people didn't mind dental work. Then I switched to Dr. Syers and Dr. Iverson, and my praise could not be higher. I mean, I actually like going to the dentist now! The staff is terrific. Not only do they always know my name, they keep track of the events in my life better than I do. In addition to their exceptional social skills (hey, many professionals lack them!), they are professional and punctual. My appointments are always on time. In fact, the other day, I had to get a filling and I strolled in a bit early. They took me immediately and I was out of there before my actual appointment time. Speaking of this filling- Dr. Iverson is one skilled guy. Fifteen minutes, no anaesthetic and no evidence remained that my tooth had been cracked in an unfortunate inner-tubing incident. It didn't even hurt! Both Dr. Syers and Dr. Iverson are wonderful about laying out options for tooth-repairs and non-judgmental when you hesitantly confess that you may not have flossed as religiously as you should have. They are always straightforward and never suggest unnecessary work. And all of this happens from the comfort of a massaging dental chair... with a city view. The world would have much better teeth if we all had dentists like these guys- I recommend them to everyone. read more

My family and I have been seeing Dr Scott Yokoi for decades. He is the best. Focused, smart, current and very kind. I recommend him without resiverations. Friendly, clean practice also helps- never a wait and always helpful and easy to book. Not big on the frame selection or the folks who sell them, but we go elsewhere for that. read more

Todd has been my dentist for over five years and I have had nothing but good experiences with him, Tracy, and their entire staff. They've always provided me with clear and straightforward information on whatever dental work I need doing. As someone who is prone to cavities, I appreciate that. Todd is very friendly and simultaneously very professional. I think the best work he has ever done for me is the crown on my front tooth, which broke horizontally in half during childhood and eventually needed to be permanently crowned. He had the replacement tooth specially molded and crafted out of several materials and took the greatest care to make sure it would match the rest of my teeth for years to come. The crown is virtually indistinguishable from my teeth, and it's reliable and strong as well, so I don't have to be constantly worrying about it. Thanks to Todd's hard work I don't think this old injury will cause me any problems for many years, and if it does, I know which dentist I'll be going to see. read more

So I had given Dr Todd Iverson in San Francisco a glowing 5 star review in March 2009 (have screenshots for those interested) because he REALLY came off as such a cool, nice guy... hugged me at the first appointment (?), warm and fuzzy, we're going to treat you well. I bought it. I also bought a lot of dental work in the ensuing weeks. About nine months later in December 2009, I wrote a 1 star review. Why? Well, I travel for work and I'm out of the country for weeks at a time - so months passed before I was able to even consider making an appointment again for the mountain of additional work he was recommending. I had to cancel a few appointment attempts, and got a barrage of calls from his office trying to get me back in. But when I called with pointed questions for him about the details of the treatment he so urgently kept wanting me to return for.... he was so overtly rude to me that I couldn't quite believe my ears. It was the worst turn of character - I even told him in the phone call he had no reason to be so rude to me. It was almost as if he thought that because I hadn't come in for a few months, I had no right to question his work. It was either come in and get your work done and keep your mouth shut (so to speak), or don't waste my time on a phone call asking me why you should come in. Then just this past week (January 2011), Todd (todd i.) has responded to my 1 star review by writing a post that includes private medical information protected under HIPAA, and private personal information protected under California's privacy laws against public disclosure. Todd, unless you want a HIPAA complaint filed with the Region IX Office for Civil Rights, a privacy complaint filed with the Medical Board of California, and a civil claim against you for public disclosure of private facts... I suggest you edit your reply. Update 1/18: Still waiting on my personal information to be removed. Todd has edited his reply to add: "Side Note: If your health care provider is calling you and begging you to make an appointment, it is a good idea to listen to them." Really? There's another reason I can think of why a dentist would "beg you to make an appointment" - when each appointment racks up nearly $1k or more in bills - and harass you on the phone when you challenge the "treatment" reasoning behind the begging/insistence on your coming in. So while I can't say Todd Iverson is the worst dentist in San Francisco, because to be fair, I haven't tried every single dentist in the city... if he continues to handle patients who don't come in on his preferred timetable and who question his aggressive treatment the way he handled me, he's definitely going to put himself in the running. read more

I came to the office of Dr.'s Todd and Tracy based on a great recommendation from my ex-girlfriend, who spoke highly of Todd's willingness to come in on an emergency basis on a Saturday to repair a cracked tooth. I have found this office to be great, everyone has been great, and I have had Tracy as a supervising dentist on a couple of visits and have found her to be great too. I have recommended this office to my friends. Todd broke the bad news to me a couple of years ago that I needed to do braces again (as a adult) but he handled it well (you can imagine my shock). I can tell by observing Todd over a couple of years that he believes in quality work and he will tell you like it is. As hard as it was to hear that I needed adult braces, Todd was right and I am glad that he pushed the issue. read more

I went to see Todd last week because I was looking for a new dentist and a friend referred me to him. I was amazed at the professionalism of his practice and how nice his staff treated me. I went in for a routine cleaning and it went smoothly. I highly recommend going to this dental practice where you're not treated as a patient but more like a family member! read more

I can't say enough fabulous things about Dr. Iverson and Dr. Syers. Not only are they professional and great to be around, they make going to the dentist a pleasurable experience. Their entire staff is knowledgeable, pleasant to be around and intelligent. The office is beautiful and has a tranquil and calming environment. read more

I recently met Dr Tracy when she dropped by for a doctor check-in after my hygienist's cleaning. She has yet to perform any real dentistry for me but her chair-side manner made a real impression. Its reassuring and just plain nice to encounter a practitioner who is thoughtful and ladylike (call the PC police) in her treatment of staff and patients. If future dental work is needed (not wishing that on myself), I hope it proves to be as good as her 1st impression. read more

I have the best dentist in the world! Dr. Iverson does fantastic work and is kind, warmhearted, and genuinely concerned about me and my overall health, not just my dental health. I've become more and more of a baby about dentist visits as I get older, I think based on a couple of bad experiences with past dentists, and Dr Iverson is always compassionate and reassuring. A few months ago, before he started a procedure, I gave this big sigh, and he said, "What's wrong?" and I said, "Oh, I'm just scared." and he stopped what he was doing to reassure me and tell me exactly why it wasn't going to be painful or a big deal, he didn't just brush me off, and he didn't start working until he knew I was okay. I started seeing him on the recommendation of a secretary about five years ago, and my teeth and gums and I are extremely happy with all of the work that he and his staff have done. I have to say a special word about Sharon, the front desk, scheduler, insurance biller, & office manager. She's really great -- she knows who I am when I call and she really goes the extra mile. Once, about a year ago, there was a problem with the building (some kind of power outage) that happened to occur the night before my early morning appointment, and she contacted me from home to let me know not to come in. And she keeps track of my insurance way better than I do! I agree with every word that reviewer Nancy L. wrote. I simply cannot imagine a better person with whom to entrust my teeth & gums. read more

I've always hated visiting dentists, and have tried to avoid them as much as possible. However, I've found a dentist well worth the trip to the office. First of all the office is clean and well kept. There is nothing worse than walking into an office with broken chairs and a floor covered in stains and magazines. This office gives the reassuring feeling that your teeth will be worked on in a hygienic environment. Going to any type of medical office nowadays is like going to the DMV, but the staff here is among the friendliest you'll find. They were easy to talk to and were able to answer questions without the typical "office attitude." Dental X-rays are perhaps the most uncomfortable thing in the world, but I was constantly reassured that the last of the "films" was approaching. The hygienist was friendly and made sure I was comfortable throughout the cleaning, and got some great tips on keeping my teeth in good shape. The office also has a great view of the City, which gives you other things to focus on while your teeth are being worked on. And last but not least, Dr. Iverson is as good as the gets. Dr. Iverson is very thorough, but is quick with the tools, so you don't spend all day in the chair. He's very clear and describes what is going on with your teeth without making you feel like you're headed to death row. As weird as it is for me to say, Dr. Iverson and his staff made my dental experience pretty good. I'll definitely return to for my next cleaning and is certainly a dentist I would very highly recommend. read more

I had a great experience getting a (cap) tooth attached to an implant. Dr. Iverson and his staff are extremely nice and explained the procedure very well. Once the implant was ready for the cap, getting the tooth made and attached only took about two weeks. He is very attentive and generous with his time. I highly recommend Dr. Iverson for this procedure, as well as other dentistry. read more

Long history of courteous, positive service with friendly faces and a relaxing environment. If you fear the dentist, this is a great fit for you! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Syers and Dr. Iverson since they started this business. They inherited me from my previous dentist who used to own that office. Both Dr Syers and Dr Iverson are exceptionally great dentists with excellent people skills. All of the office staff is great too. I have been seeing the same hygienist Shadelly all these years, she is exceptional as are the rest of the people in this dental office. They are a bit on the expensive side, but I feel that they deserve every penny. read more

Late on a Thursday afternoon (today) I developed a painful dental emergency and a swollen face. I was in a state of panic, as I knew I had to spend all day tomorrow (Friday) getting home to Maryland, and then I am leaving the country for two weeks on Sunday. I didn't see how I would be able to see a dentist before I left. I decided to look for the dentists in my plan in the Union Square area where I was staying, call, and beg! I did, and the office agreed to see me. I can't say enough about the quality of treatment I received form Dr. Syers. She told me I should feel better in two days. But I felt much better and almost all the swelling was gone within just a few hours! And I was blown away by the kindness and genuine concern I was shown by everyone, the dentist, the dental assistants, and the office staff. Everyone who works there is warm and caring. All the dental assistants and office staff stayed late because I was there, and seemed like they were happy to do it. I could not recommend Dr.Syers and her staff highly enough. If I didn't live 2500 miles away, I would make her my regular dentist without hesitation. If they took this good care of someone who was not a regular patient and lives too far away to ever become one, then I am confident they will take wonderful care of everyone! read more

I searched high and low for a good dentist in San Francisco for eight years. I finally found what I was looking for at Syers and Iverson. The support staff are awesome and help make the entire experience so relaxing. Some of them even take notes so they can remember who I am the next time I come to the office! Talk about friendly and going out of the way to make me feel comfortable. And I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Syers and Dr. Iverson's "bedside" manner. They make the entire experience relaxing and more like meeting someone for coffee rather than getting a cavity filled. They are also very realistic about the realities of everday life (they did not get upset when I admitted I did not floss everday...or every other day for that matter). You are in good hands at Syers and Iverson and will leave wondering why you did not find them sooner. read more

I had such a dentist phobia that when my tooth ache got to be too much to bear or quell with ora-gel, I actually pulled a tooth myself! When another went south, I decided that I had to get over it and call a dentist. A friend recommended Todd, and he was a godsend. Neither he nor any of his personnel laid any trips on me about not taking care of my teeth, and he proved very gentle and skilled at his craft. He has the ability to calm, explain the process, make a plan, and fix what decay made lost. For me, he eliminated lots of pain, and helped me regain more than just my smile, because caring for yourself always heals more than the eye can see. I wound up needing a bridge---which matches my natural teeth to an astonishing degree---and would especially recommend him to folks who need the same. read more

I've been seeing Dr Iverson for years, since they started their practice. In a crazy busy world, I always find their office to be a quiet calm oasis. Everyone is so friendly and I don't have any anxiety about going to the dentist. My hygenist is quick and gentle, and I always feel very well taken care of. I highly recommend this office. read more

Wasn't pleased with this dentist. Great staff and hygenists but unhappy with the filling work he did.

I'v been going to Dr. Iverson for years for all my dental work because he is very patient, listens and understands my concerns. He has the best, state-of-the-art dental equipment and the cleanliness of the office is excellent. Makes me feel so comfortable. He and his staff are really good with children and I totally value that. I brought my 3 year old daughter with me and his receptionist was so nice. She played with her and occupied her while I was getting treated, so sweet. Dr. Iverson and his staff are very professional and friendly. I love the service here and highly recommend it!! My husband I both go to Iverson & Syers and we can't say enough good things about the two of them. They are excellent and hold themselves to a very high standard. Love them! read more

I just had a crown replaced with Dr. Syers. Dr. Syers is the greatest dentist ever. She explains everything she's doing and is very thorough, not to mention really friendly and helpful and conscientious about costs etc. The office staff is also amazing and actually inspire me to take good care of my teeth and come in for regular cleanings- it's a very nice atmosphere. Five stars! read more

Everyone at Dr. Seyers & Dr. Iverson's office makes each and every dentist visit a great experience. From the kind greeting when I walk in, to the gentle and thorough cleanings as well as the professional exam and procedures I feel completely cared for. I can not refer them enough to anyone who wants the best dentist around. read more

tip dentist - been taking good care of me & my teeth for years now. great views from the chairs too as an added bonus. what's more? newly remodeled offices. read more

I have been a patient of Iverson & Syers for greater than 15 years and would not hesitate to recommend this dental practice. From the wonderful front desk/office manager Colleen, my friendly and professional hygienist Shadelly, and of course both Dr's Syers and Iverson, I continually receive excellent and professional care. I can't say enough about this dental office! read more
