Everyone here has a great sense of humor and are very helpful. I love asking questions about teeth and they seem to love answering them. Dr. Adame is very good at keeping you comfortable while filling cavities. My dental insurance is "middle tier" so my cleaning and X-rays were fully covered while fillings cost me a small amount out of pocket. I think the quality of care here is worth paying a little extra for. Thanks all! read more

Great dentist office, amazing facilities, but the reception staff was kinda bitchy. Maybe it's because they're so busy? The woman was short with me, made me feel like my questions were not valid. She could use some training in making people feel comfortable. read more

I was with Dr. Sigler for many years and I have to tell you I was very nervous when he sold his practice. I am not an 'easy' dental patient, you know how it is...some people have a thing for snakes, some for spiders, and some of us would rather do ANYthing than have a dental problem. As nervous as I was I'm happy to tell you my fears were groundless--Dr. Adame is and has been absolutely terrific. It isn't just his good natured manners, Dr. Adame is a master at the physical techniques of dentistry. He is a crack diagnostician, is well scheduled so there is never any waiting, fast and completely accurate, pain-free, and even with all that is no more expensive. I think he also must be a master at the psychological/emotional aspect, too, I just don't fear the dentist as I used to. Well, not 'the' dentist, this particular dentist! Having had to go to another while in New York I was reminded of just how good I've got it here in San Francisco. If you have put things off, like I did for a rather long time after Dr. Sigler retired, there is no drama, no tension, just pure professionalism. I don't usually post on Yelp unless things are either very negative or in this case, very positive, but I do see a negative post here about the guy on the front desk, Ray. Who on earth can't get along with Ray? That makes no sense, he's very professional and also very friendly and 'up', something which I often am NOT when I have to go in. I suspect that many others are like I was, just primed for 'yet another horrible experience at the dentist's office' and are living out a self-fulfilling prophecy. My partner, my friends Bill and now Mark are all going to Dr. Adame, I can't imagine it getting better than this. read more

I have been going to Dr. Adame since he took over the practice from Dr. Sigler about 8 years ago. I have had excellent all around care and very consistent and high quality experiences with all my visits. From Dr. Adame himself, to Linda the hygienist and his clinical and office staff...all have been fun and professional to deal with. Highly recommend this dentist and his staff to anyone. read more

I have been going to Linda, Dr Adame's hygentist for about 10 years and she is great - does a thorough job of cleaning and explaining the care that is needed. Dr. Adame usually does a quick check-up once a year and concurs with what Linda says. Office staff are friendly and efficient. Only gripe is they seem to try to push unneeded services and goods (too many xrays) plus they are not in the Blue Cross PPO so it costs a lot out of pocket to go. They do book up heavily so i book my appointments to one year out. read more

The staff is very accommodating, the dental hygienist is friendly and knowledgable and Dr. Adame is very personable.

I've been going to Dr. Adame's office longer than Dr. Adame has been working there. (I previously saw Dr. Sigler, from whom Dr. Adame bought the practice when Dr. Sigler retired several years ago.) I've been very pleased with most of my experiences at Dr. Adame's practice, though I did like his previous receptionist, Phyllis, more than the current one, Carlos, who could be a little more friendly and could also benefit from refraining to quote copays without verifying coverage with patients' insurance companies. (Twice Carlos has quoted me copays that were significantly higher than they ended up being, presumably because he was guessing that I pay 50% of the allowable fees versus the 20% that I actually have to pay.) Dr. Adame is very nice, thorough, and effiicient. Sometimes he does my cleaning/exams, but usually I see one of his hygienists. He has a really nice one who has been working there a long time (Linda) and, lately, apparently a couple of different women as well (temps?). Of course, if Dr. Adame doesn't do the cleaning/exam himself, he still checks my mouth towards the end of the hygienist's work with me to review what they've done and to see if I need any follow up work. read more

Found him here on Yelp, and couldn't agree more. Great experience, the staff was fantastic and chatty, and Dr. Adame was really great.

Steven, is the best dentist and hottest dentist I've ever had!!! He is gentle and makes sure the patient is comfortable all the time. Steven always makes sure the patient is feeling ok and his skill set is unprecidented. read more

Had to change dentists after mine stopped her San Francisco practise. I was encouraged by friends to come to Dr. Adame & I am very glad they did. The staff made the transition (and 20 yeas with the same dentist is a long time!) very pleasant & smooth. Everything was on time & I was impressed by the attention to detail & the positive attitude that was demonstrated during each increment of my first encounter here. I only wish I had brought my camera, because the office has fine art work throughout & I enjoy seeing art outside the walls of museums, as a part of daily life experience. Am glad to have found a 2nd dental home so easily & am very pleased with all aspects of the care & environment. Thank you, Dr Adame, for taking me on as a new patient! read more

No complaints. Very friendly assistant/staff, and Dr. Adame did a great job cleaning my teeth.

friendly, informative staff. mellow, calm ambiance. ...and they don't try to upsell you on anything you don't need. read more

Dr. Adame and my hygenist Linda are great: personable & professional. I've been with them for 5 years and am looking forward to many more years. read more

I recently had my regular cleaning and needed some cavity work done and Dr. Adame and his staff were GREAT!! I feel so comfortable there and know that my teeth are in great hands. His receptionist is always willing to work with my schedule and get me in when needed =) Even though I live in San Jose, the drive to SF to see Dr. Adame is SO worth it! read more

They were pretty booked for the next couple of months but I was told they would call me if something opened up. I got a phone call 2 days later letting me know there was a cancellation for the following week. My hygienist was very sweet. She did an amazing job at cleaning my teeth. read more

3rd time is a charm and indeed it is!! I finally found my dentist..dr adame is very through and takes the time out to listen and really pay attention i went in with a tmj and now being referred to an oral surgeon! Will definitely be back for cleaning!!! read more

This place is awesome. Everyone was really friendly and helpful! From the receptionist (was very helpful in figuring out my benefits/coverage), hygienist (mindful of comfort, got the job done), dentist (friendly, informative), it was a pain free experience. read more

I moved to Sonoma County from San Francisco 7 years ago, but as they say, once you find a good dentist, you make it work. Dr. Adame has been the most thorough and patient (I thought I was the patient!) dentist I've ever had the displeasure of visiting. (No offense meant, I'm just not crazy about any dentist.) He's kind, gentle and accommodating. I'd have to leave the country before I'd go to anyone else. All of his staff are very kind people and I love how they always confirm my appointments 2 days ahead. Love love love these guys. Thank you! read more

Been going to Dr. Adame for at least seven years. He and his staff have always been great. Never had any problem with his services. Dr. Adame and his staff are friendly and professional. Sadly I moved back up to Sacramento two years ago. I am still going to go back down to Dr. Adame for his services. read more

Dr. Adame's office is great. My wife and I just moved down from Seattle and needed to find a new dentist, so we checked out Yelp for dentists in the area. Dr. Adame has a good track record here, and didn't disappoint. The staff was very kind and competent, and the service was great. While I'm disappointed that I'll be going back to have a cavity filled, I'll be happy to be going back to his office. So, for those of you waiting to go back to the dentist -- my advice is go soon -- and go to Dr. Adame! read more

I switch to Dr. Adame as my dentist as he came highly recommended. The turnover in my last dentist office is so high that I never know what/who to expect. The staff at Dr. Adame office were very friendly, helpful and pleasant. They executed my appointment in a very timely manner. Dr. Adame personally attended to me and he was very professional, attention to details, very sensitive to my needs and made me feel very at ease. He did a great job and I left the office feeling very satisfied! I STRONGLY recommend Dr. Adame! read more

Linda is the best, most wonderful, gentle and amazing dental hygienist on earth. Thank You!!! read more

umm, how can I make this ten stars? The staff is amazing Heather( dental hygienist) is a sweetie and so gentle and caring. I cannot say anough about this place. I have been here a year,,,and I cannot say enough good thing about this place. PLUS the place is so comforting and soothing. Thank you !!!! read more

These guys are not professional. They are disorganized and are quick to tell you to find another dentist. Horrible experience here. Not sure how they got good reviews. Also the front desk manager is rude and has an attitude. Regret ever going read more

Dr. Adame appears to be a highly competent perfectionist, which is really confidence inspiring. He took a long time to do my filling because he kept adjusting and checking and touching up, but did such a good job that I honestly cannot even locate the filling now. Compare to my last dentist, who did a similar filling in about 15 minutes, which still bothers me every time I floss. Small chips in a front tooth? Old dentist wanted to cap my front teeth. Dr. Adame took about 5 minutes to clean them up and didn't even charge me. His hygienist is great and highly knowledgeable. Very good dental experience. read more

There simply is no better dentist that Steven. Period. Travel from Marin, East Bay or Silicon Valley...but if you need a good dentist, Dr. Adame is your man. His caring manner, his competence and his willingness to work with a budget is something special you don't find these days. Last week I had a cleaning done - He does them himself. He took x-rays and told me I had a cavity which I haven't had since I was a kid. This was after he asked me how I was, personally and how my Partner was which is always nice to "be cared about." A few days later, I had my cavity done and it was so fast, so PAINLESS that I was actually shocked. I asked for a little more numbing so I wouldn't feel a thing and sure enough, his assistant Reul made it happen. Carlos and Ray at the front desk, are also as best you can get when it comes to payments and making appointments. So if you need a caring Dentist who will take care of your teeth for the rest of your life, your search is over. I am so grateful for all the years of care he has given me and my Partner. read more

Heather is a wonderful hygienist. I love that she explains every little thing she's doing, as well as what she's seeing in my mouth.

Dr. Steven Adame is a dream dentist. He somehow makes the dental visit a fun experience. The only pain I've experienced is my jaw cramping up from laughing too hard. He's gentle and takes his time explaining all the options you have when you have any issues to deal with. The staff in the office are all very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend him. read more

When was the last time you left the dentist in a better mood than when you arrived? Never? Well, you obviously aren't a patient of Dr. Adame's. This afternoon I went for my cleaning. I was frazzled because I was 5 minutes late, but his sweet hygienist took me back right away, did a painless yet thorough job, Dr. Adame swooped in and did his thing, and bam I was out of there in 35 minutes flat. Every staff member smiled and asked me how I was and I left with my dental goodie bag. He is officially the best dentist I have ever had. read more

Before my appointment with Dr. Steven Adame, today, I suffered through 15 years of excruciatingly painful teeth cleanings at my old dentist office. What a difference ! It doesn't have to be that way ! From the people at the front desk, to the hygienists, to Dr. Adame himself, everything is first class, friendly, professional, and relatively painless. They even volunteered to submit my health insurance form, even though they don't use that insurance company. These people are great ! read more

I've gone to Dr. Adame for 3 cleanings (18 months) and to get two cavities filled. This is just an awesome dental practice that I would highly recommend to anyone. Linda, the hygenist, is awesome! She is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable and nice - the best I've ever encountered by a solid margin (and its not that I've had bad experiences in the past). The same is true for Dr. Adame as a dentist. I also find the atmosphere of the office to be very calming. read more

Steven Adame and his assistant were both kind, concerned about my comfort, and made sure that I understood what they were doing in and around my mouth. I'm used having just a few minutes with my dentist, maybe not even with any verbal contact but just with his/her hands in my mouth, but Dr. Adame did every part of my cleaning except the x-rays. He may not do that for every cleaning and he only do that for my first appointment, but I was impressed. read more

I found Dr Adame to be a perfectly competent dentist - I had no troubles the two times I've seen him. He and his staff were friendly. My favorite thing about his office is that you feel like you're in a greenhouse - tons of plants and natural light that one just doesn't expect in a dentist's office. It makes what's normally an unpleasant experience a bit less dreary. read more

Doctor Adame is great. I have seen him for 6 years now. He always conveys makes a personable connection, even if he only sees me every 6 months, and has a calming sense about him. I recommend doctor Adame to all my friends. read more

Who can give 5-stars to a dentist? I can, because I see Dr Adame. *The office is convenient to transit near Market and Church, yet tucked away in a peaceful oasis * It's so pretty in there - while lying in a chair with your mouth open you get to look at huge healthy trees outside, which is calming * it's just the right style of low-key and lovely * they've never ever tried to upsell me * Ray at the front is the perfect balance of warm and efficient * Sean his assistant is kind, knowing, and a truly sweet person * Patricia is a knowledgable and competent hygenist that creates a positive experience * and Dr. Adame? he is committed to the well-being of my mouth, and will be to yours, too. I cracked my tooth eating ice, and he was so caring, guiding me through the long process of repairing the damage, all the while listening to and helping me rationalize my fears, striving for perfection on the appearance, and providing as much comfort as possible along the way. My teeth and mouth are healthy, happy, and pretty, thanks to the team effort of Dr Adame and his staff, and I highly recommend this office. read more

I am from Santa Clara Ca and commute to go see Dr. Adame. He always has time to fit me in even if he is busy. He does great work. He makes sure that you always feel comfortable before or while working on your teeth. I needed a root canal and he reffered me to a specialist and Dr. Adame's office got me an appointment right away. His office always calls you to make sure that you know you are scheduled for an appointment. From all the work I have gotten it has never hurt and I have had no problems after the cavity was taken care of. read more

I've known Dr. Steve Adame for a long time now , needless to say, the best dentist in town. If you are looking for a good dentist, I strongly recommend Dr. Adame. Very competent and compassionate, you will always feel safe and relaxed in his practice. He cares for his patients, provide the best dental treatments and his dental practice is in compliance with standard of care. read more

Since 2009 when I wrote my first review, I have been taking my son off and on for dental work and cleaning. His receptionist, was able get us in to help our schedule (Dr. Adame works every other Saturday). I also, was due for some work and Dr. Adame is great, as there was no pain, and he always asked if I was ok. Even though I travel from Santa Clara, like I said before it is so worth it. Also, he never made my son feel bad or me for all the cavities he had, which can be very embarrassing. If you are looking for a Wonderful dentist this is the one Dr. Steve Adame. read more

Dr. Adame is clear & direct: he explains exactly why he makes the recommendations he does and I've never felt 'upsold' on things that weren't necessary. I recommend him to my friends without hesitation. read more

linda is kind, smart, and extremely skillful. wouldn't want anybody else to clean these teeth!
