He and his staff take the time to explain exactly what is needed and what is happening, and I never felt rushed. On the contrary, they make me feel like I am the only patient they need to tend to. I have had to call the office multiple times to reschedule due to my own conflicts and they have always been accommodating and gracious. Billing is also an important factor with such practitioners, and they have always been very transparent with upfront costs and efficient in submitting bills to my insurance so that I get reimbursed promptly. I look forward to having Dr. Im care for my teeth and gums in the years ahead. I would strongly recommend him to anyone with no hesitation. Thank you Dr. Im and staff!

BEST DENTAL PRACTICE EVER!! We all know how many crooked dentists are out there right? I know…read morebecause I have been to every one of them! Seriously!! Then, after coming close to a dental nervous breakdown, the Universe brought me finally to the website of Fillmore Dental Spa, just blocks from where I live! I love working with Vicky, who runs the office. She is very knowledgeable with insurance and Care Credit and just very organized! She is so nice and fun to talk to that you want to run to the dentist!! I have been given horrible advice previously that would have cost me the loss of teeth so that the dentist could make money off Invisalign like the doctors who are in bed with the pharmaceutical companies! I was recently seeing a corrupt dental group who I found out was in the midst of two lawsuits against the head dentist who currently can't even see her patients! I could literally write a book! Now, I seriously can't say enough great things about Dr. Cecilia Santos-Berkowitz! She is a true gem and probably the only honest dentist left in San Francisco!! From my first visit, where she took the necessary full mouth x-rays to the deep cleaning which I needed, she was always courteous and explained everything in grave detail. She goes over the images with you, so you actually understand what you need that is tailored to you as an individual! I have complex Periodontal issues but instead of wanting to rip my teeth out or send me in to the "end of my life in debt" with Invisalign, she told me about "PerioProtect" trays for my mouth twice a day! Check out the YouTube videos! Not one of my past dentists ever told me about this! They did not tell me about it because then they can't rip you off if you can actually curb your problem without extensive and mostly unnecessary dental work! This may not be for everyone but it sure is working for me! She created the 3D molds for the company to make my trays and then she sent me home with them on my last visit along with the tray gel and an antibiotic to add to the trays in certain areas so it goes deep below the gum line to do it's magic. I love how fresh they make your breath and the added benefit of this gel having hydrogen peroxide in it is the whitening it gives my teeth, even the bonding! Bonding is not supposed to whiten but mine is!! People have commented on the gleam of my new smile! So, ladies and gents out there looking to get away from the scammer dentists come to see Dr. Cecilia Santos-Berkowitz for the best experience of your dental life!!

I will be coming back--best experience I've ever had at the dentist!

He fixed several crowns done by other dentists incorrectly. Art work and a passion for what he does keeps me going back.

I highly recommend booking an appointment if you want excellent dental work.

Dr Saghezchi addressed all my questions in great detail and without hesitation. He may run a busy office but you never felt rushed and he listened to fears/ concerns I had.

UPDATE: The Financial Side of My UCSF Experience…read more Beyond everything I experienced following my dental surgery with Dr. Sohail Saghezchi, I want to share the financial side of the story as well. 1. I have Delta Dental PPO, which paid the amount allowed by my insurance to UCSF dental 2. With this UCSF oral surgery clinic itself, I personally paid $898 before surgery, plus another $459 during a follow-up visit. 3. I stopped going to the UCSF Oral Surgery Clinic after July 17, 2026. Then, to my surprise, I received another bill for $296, with a statement date of September 8, 2026. I emailed DentalCenterBilling@ucsf.edu to ask for the date of service associated with this charge, but as of now, I have received no response or return call. Looking back, I blame myself for initially putting my trust in the UCSF name without doing more research on Dr. Sohail Saghezchi before my surgery. I trusted the reputation associated with "UCSF," but what followed was an experience I never expected: profuse bleeding, severe pain, hospitalization, multiple ER visits, infections, repeated courses of antibiotics, additional out-of-pocket expenses related to addressing complications, and time away from work. This experience has taught me an important lesson: never rely on a name alone. Ask questions, do your research, understand the potential risks, and advocate for yourself before undergoing any procedure. I'm sharing my experience to encourage others to make an informed and conscious decision before choosing their provider. Ultimately, the choice is yours--but please do your homework.

After months of dealing with pain and searching for real answers, I found Dr. Varin -- and I'm so grateful I did. He immediately identified the actual issue: the fillings just needed to be completely redone. He took his time, paid attention to detail, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process (I literally almost fell asleep during the appointment!). The difference in care and precision was incredible. The office manager is also amazing -- so kind, organized, and helpful every step of the way. If you need any dental work done, I can't recommend this office enough. Truly a 5-star experience. Don't waste your time anywhere else!

The level of expertise and detailed dental care I received during the past three visits at Lands End Dental really surprised me. I believe that Dr. Rosa Mathai is a perfectionist, enjoys her work, and of course, is very dedicated to her craft. Together with Elaine, Brittany and Merlette, Dr. Mathai has put my future dental care worries to rest. I would highly recommend her practice. Appointments are easy to schedule, they always pick up the phone, and it's also not very difficult to find street parking near her office. A real gem in San Francisco!

All my life I had major phobias about dental work and it wasn't until coming to these fabulous dentists that I overcame my fears. In fact, my entire family AND my senior mother were patients. Recently, I came in for routine hygiene with Joe and met the new dentist, Dr. Rosa Mathai. She's just as wonderful, calming, efficient, and professional as my previous dentists, and totally adorable. Dr. Mathai is very thorough and conservative - not doing unnecessary dental work unless she feels it's in the best interest of a healthier mouth. Overall, I love the dentists and wonderful staff of this office. They're all so helpful and reassuring and most of all, honest and transparent. Highly recommend them if you ever need dental work. Pleasant, skilled, and looks out for their patients.
