Dr. Low have been my dentist for over 2 decades. He never rush thru appointments, patiently listened to my issues, investigate the problem, and provide a detail explanation of my options based on his diagnosis. When I lived overseas for 4 years, I would still fly back to SF for my dental appointments. Dr. Low is the most conscientious and ethical dentist I have the fortune of discovering. read more

Dr. Jobie Low is the best and nicest dentist in San Francisco. THERE. I've said it. I have THOUGHT it for many years. First of all, I have always HATED dentists. In the past, I have always quietly wimpered as I approached their dreaded office. Not the case any more. I have been to MANY dentists in SF but my search has ended. Dr. Low is kind, ethical, intelligent and highly skilled. I have the lowest thresh hold for pain of anyone in the universe. Dr. Low does not hurt me. He is very sympathetic to my anxiety. What more can you ask? I doubt that anyone LIKES to go to the dentist but this guy makes it as pleasant as possible. I have even had 2 root canals here. His office is on West Portal Ave, upstairs from Noah's Bagels. read more

If you're the type of person who thinks many doctors are trying to make a quick buck off of you, you need to see Dr. Low. He is by far one of the most honest doctors I know. He's also very good at what he does. I was not fully satisfied with a dental practice in the East Bay. The cleaning I got there was mediocre and the diagnosis for fillings could have been exaggerated. So I went back to the dentist whom I used to visit when I lived in the City. Dr. Low gave me a more detailed analysis of my situation. Not only did I not need all of the fillings from the first dentist, but for the ones that I ended up getting, the work done was minimal. Dr. Low explained to me that he wanted to preserve my enamel and only target the deep spots of my teeth. Then he would monitor the other areas during subsequent visits. Dr. Low exudes knowledge, honesty, and compassion. For these reasons, I've always trusted him and will continue to do so for as long as he's in practice. His hygienist is also extremely thorough and I have never gotten a better cleaning outside of this practice. The reason I said the East Bay dental place was mediocre is because I had this hygienist to judge against. The office is located next to Noah's Bagel and is small. I really appreciate the comforting atmosphere and personal attention of this small practice. Should Dr. Low have the mindset of some doctors I escaped from, his practice and office would be ten times as large. I've known Dr. Low since the late nineties and have seen him on and off through the years due to college, work, relocating, etc. Even though I don't live in the City anymore, I've decided to go here for all of my future dental visits. The drive up is worth the top-notch examination and cleaning. read more

I've been coming here for a few years after switching from a crazy Russian lady dentist. I came here on Monday for teeth cleaning and x-rays, the only good thing I can say is that x-rays aren't painful and doesn't hurt under my tongue. Umm...the weird thing is that I've never had a filling here, I've had more at other places. I wonder if I'm maintaining my teeth better, or they're just too lazy to fill anything, but I think if I really did have a filling, they'd give it to me so they can take my $$$. Oh yeah, my insurance doesn't fully cover my checkup anymore UGHH I'll be back in 6 months. I hardly ever go to the doctors, but I always go to the dentist, maybe it's because they have me a 6 month plan. I wanted to give a 3.5, upped it to 4. read more

Who likes going to the dentist?? THIS GIRL! When your dentist is Dr. Low, you actually look forward to your visit. He's like your small-town local dentist (in a good way). Greets you as you walk in. Always on time (I never even have the chance to sit in the waiting room). Never upsells you on crap you don't need. Appreciates human connection with his patients. So so sweet and gentle with the cleanings. Amazing, sweet and helpful staff. I couldn't recommend him enough. He is truly one of a kind. I've sent friends who were skeptical only to return from their visit never doubting my opinion again. :) I wish we had more like him. Dr. Low dentist you've been waiting for. read more

I just looked up Dr Low's email and saw his reviews for the first time. I felt inspired to also write a review to echo all the five-star reviews that I read (I should have wrote my review years ago). Dr Low has been my family dentist as long as I could remember (maybe as far back as when he first opened his office on West Portal Avenue). He has treated my grandmother, mother, and my family of five for many years, and I have always appreciated his customer service. He is always professional, honest, proficient, and does a good job. He clearly explain his dental procedure, and I always find it to be an interesting learning experience. In addition, I find that he really cares about his patients and will try to accommodate his patient's schedules. I would highly recommend Dr Low if you are looking for an excellent and highly skilled dentist. read more

Dr Jobie Low is the best dentist I have ever been to. And I hate the dentist. Since I have been coming here I have moved a couple times, switched insurances, and changed modes of transportation. No matter how I have to get there or how I have to pay for it, I refuse to switch dentists because he's that great. I would recommend Dr Low to anyone in San Francisco who wants a nice, reliable, trustworthy, and professional dentist. Plus he iPads in the rooms now. What a way to wait! read more

Dr. Jobie Low is a excellent Dentist. I've been coming to him for probably 10 years now I've never had a bad experience with him and his staff. He makes you feel comfortable when you are there and always seems to know what to talk about with you so there is no uncomfortable silence. I saw him recently and was pleasantly surprised that they have new X Ray film that is not the painful kind that used to hurt the gums. Seems kinda trivial but man that was the one thing i hated about seeing the dentist haha. If you are looking for a great dentist you must see Dr. Low. read more

Dr. Low is awesome! He and the staff are very personable and professional making it a great experience each visit. Dr. Low always makes sure to inform me of what he is going to be doing to my teeth and is always happy to answer and questions or concerns I might have. read more

Highly, highly recommend this place! A friend referred me here and I glad he did. Dr. Low is super easy going and professional. He will tell you what you need to know but won't try to get more money out of you than necessary. Does a fantastic job with checkup and all. I was at another dentist who told me I needed this and that but Dr. Low cleared all that up and it was completely unnecessary. I was told at the other dentist that I had many new cavities, but Dr. Low examined it and it was my filling instead. I was billed almost 3k at the other place for work I didn't even need done. So glad I switched over before doing any work. Dr. Low does what he does best! PS. They're not open on the weekends. read more

Dr. Low is a really great dentist. He is very talkative and makes you feel very comfortable being there. I am a very curious person and I like to know how things work, and I always ask Dr. Low questions about what he's doing to my teeth and he always explains really well and is really interesting. Whenever he discusses a procedure he always tells me the pros and cons and makes a thoughtful, personal suggestion. He has definitely mastered the art of small-talk and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great, thorough, dentist! read more

Dr. Jobie is really as good as it gets! 5 Stars all around and 5 more stars if I could! He is so friendly & professional. I really appreciate how he EXPLAINS everything that he is doing and why it is important. I have come from dentist that are either in complete silence, or having their own side conversation with the dentist assistant. This was really a great experience. I am looking forward to my next visit. 2 times a year, I will be back! Also, as a note, he actually gives out real toothbrushes and mini floss. none of those cheapy ones that i usually get from a dentist. read more

Dr Low is one of the best dentist in the Bay Area. Very Honest, good dentist and a great person. I highly recommend Dr Joy. You will start enjoying going to the dentist ;). read more

My 1st visit. Need to fix my broken filling. Dr. Low is friendly. He clearly explains the procedures to me. Also, the staff is very helpful.

I just started with Dr. Low about a year ago, and I have to tell you guys that he is the nicest person on earth. So i'm walking on West Portal trying to find his office, and guess what? It's like hidden between two buildings (sort of) and you walk up these stairs. I open his office door, and man is it hot and stuffy, but maybe it was just me. The assistances were really nice too me and returned many smiles. Then I get called in and waited for Dr. Low for only like two minutes (it took a long time for my other dentist to come to me). Yes, it does hurt when he is cleaning your teeth, but its because we don't brush well enough. He talks to you and entertains you while he is scraping all the crap out of your mouth so you get kind of distracted from the pain. The also gave me free samples of floss and stuff, and told me what I should do to keep my teeth clean. Well, this whole routine may sound normal to everyone, but damn, he is so much better than my previous dentist! Thats all I can say. And come on, there are so many stores that you can shop at afterwards !! read more

Dr. Low is the best dentist! He works quickly and efficiently, and takes great care of my teeth every 6 months. He is very personable and a great conversationalist--the perfect distraction from all the plaque scraping. Unlike other dentists I've been to, I never feel judged (dental hygiene!) or that I'm being sold something that I don't really need. His rates are very reasonable, and appointments are easy to make. I'd highly recommend Dr. Low to anyone! read more

Dr. Low is amazing. He helped fixed some of my teeth in a way that was more like an artist/dentist than just a dentist---things none of my other dentists knew how to fix! I'm so glad to have been referred to him. I'm happy to recommend him. He's fun to listen to, he explains things, and he's an all around nice guy. He really knows his stuff. He volunteers in the summer and I like that in a person. Go see him, you won't be sorry! read more

I have to admit, I haven't seen a dentist in a while (over a year!). I tell myself it's because I recently moved and have been busy, but the truth is, I am always a little intimidated by the pain and worried the dentist is going to recommend more painful corrective treatments while my gums are still bleeding. Well, after reading the Yelp reviews for Dr. Low, and finding out that he is a network dentist with my dental insurer, I decided it was time for the dreaded cleaning. Dr. Low is extremely nice, which immediately put me at ease. The hygenist who took my X-rays and did the scraping/cleaning was also nice and very skilled. She was scaping A LOT, but didn't hurt me one bit and when I rinsed - no bleeding gums! She also managed to polish off all the coffee/red wine stains that I thought were permanent. She gently made some suggestions for brushing to help keep so much crap from building up on my teeth (without sounding critial or condescending). When I left, my teeth were so shiny and white, I felt like a Miss America contestant! I was smiling broadly at everyone in the street, like a creepy person in a religious cult. I felt so great, I happily made my follow up appointment for six months and (for the first time in my life) I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment. Dr. Low and his staff have renewed my faith in the dental profession! Now, if I could just convince my husband to make an appointment, we'll be in business... read more
