Best dentist in Cow Hollow. Bill really makes sure you are comfortable and teeth cleaning is almost a joy!

I like Dr. Smith a LOT. He is very calming, cool, and sensitive to the needs of "overly sensitive" patients. While I don't look forward to my dental appointments, Dr. Smith and his staff help make the visit as easy as possible. Parking sucks - but I've started getting my car serviced or oil change @ SF Honda 2 blocks away during my dental appointments...so I get "free" parking. read more

How awesome can a dentist be? Let me tell you ... one of us experiences a toothache, goes strolling into Dr. Smith's office on a Friday afternoon (without an appointment), and Dr. Smith takes the time to see him, find an infection, do some dentistry, and prescribe antibiotics. Amazing service, and just in the nick of time! What an asset Dr. Smith and Dr. Donnelly are to the neighborhood ... we are so lucky/grateful to have them. read more

Dr. Smith is the best! A very loving and honest dentist. I highly recommend him. read more

I like that Dr. Smith has a "James Brown: the Hardest Working Man in Show Business" poster at the foot of one of the chairs. I like that he's no bullshit. I like that the receptionist always remembers my name. I like that I can always get appointments when I want them. I like the new dentist that just started working there. And I like that one day when I was kind of hungover Dr. Smith gave me oxygen for 20 minutes before he started working on my filling and it made me feel soooo much better. read more

I just had my 1st visit with Dr. Smith after he was recommended by a friend. First of all it started out great because he takes appointments beginning at 7:00am! I went it for a basic consultation and cleaning. Dr. Smith was very thorough, friendly, and honest. He never tried to up sell me on frivolous products and services, but did effectively answer all of my questions. A nice experience and reasonable prices. read more

I never would have expected to be writing rave reviews about a dentist, but OH MY GOSH Dr. Smith is the best dentist I have EVER been to. I have been on the quest for a dentist since I moved up to the Bay Area, and finally, I found one! Dr. Smith not only is a super cool guy, but personally cleaned my teeth this morning. The whole visit took about an hour- that was for a cleaning, x-rays and a filling. They are super nice, really fast and so incredibly thorough. They take most insurance, and make the whole experience actually quite pleasant. You'll be impressed with the size of the place- and don't mind the cow collection... it's hard to miss! read more

I have been going to Dr. Smith for 19 years. My teeth are fabulous, thank you very much. He has really worked hard on my husbands teeth. What a challenge. My kids adore Dr. Smith, and have no cavities. He's like family to us, and his staff. I can call anytime, and will get fitted in no matter what. Even though we live 50 miles away, he was the one doctor, we just couldn't bear to switch. Parking stinks, park in the lot on Lombard and Webster. read more

My experience with Dr. Smith's daughter, who is also a dentist, was not pleasant. I was a cooperative and friendly patient and I felt I was reacted to as if I was argumentative. While a patient there in years past, I had received a discount because I had no dental insurance. I felt Dr. Smith's daughter say in a demeaning way, "Why should you be getting a discount." I felt hurt by my dentist acting this way. I found several of his receptionists to be very unprofessional. While I was sitting having my teeth worked on with Dr. William Smith, they stood around making comments to me making me out to be unfriendly over and over. Dr. Smith did nothing to reign in his staff. Apparently, this type of behavior is allowed in his office. I have no intention of going there again. read more

Fast and efficient, although never rushed. The first time I went he spotted a small cavity and offered to fill it RIGHT THEN. No taking off more work and rescheduling things. read more

went last year to get a filling done. after the procedure the tooth would not stop hurting so I went back to get it checked out and was told that the pain was due to the filling not being smoothed out correctly creating an incorrect bite. Dr. Williams "fixed" the problem but the tooth continued to hurt so i had to return just to be told the same thing and to have it "fixed" one more time, but the pain continued and i had to come back once again. this is absolutely ridiculous, i have never seen a doctor struggle with a simple filling. after my 3rd!!! visit the tooth was still hurting and the bite was STILL INCORRECT. i have never gone back there and got it fixed someplace else. this doctor is a joke!!! read more

He is always available for all of my dental emergencies. I always get excellent cleanings and cavities are not so painful.

best experience I have ever had in a dentist chair. I have been treated by Dr. Bill Smith and Dr. Lani Donnelly. Both of them had me out of the seat fast with quality work that has not caused me any residual pain or return visits. I especially appreciated their willingness to work with me when I didn't have benefits. Anyone who has been in this position knows how painful it can be physically ....and financially. They do the little things that make the visit a good experience, whether it is digital x-rays, good music, or a gift bag with a quality tooth brush and other good stuff. Dr. Lani will be my dentist for a long time. read more

Before coming here I dreaded dental work. But since I found dr Smith I am kind of looking forward to the visits, no kidding. He knows his job, he is fast and efficient. He is also human and remembers all kind of stuff I tell him before I get my mouth wide open.. Definitely recommend! read more

He will bring the pain. Will get the job done, but not in a gental way. I still wake up screaming at night.

I hate going to the Denist, but does anyone ever really enjoy it?????? I love the Cow Hollow Dental Center, Dr. Smith, Dr. Donnellly and the staff because they make me feel at home. I had an awful crown dne to my front tooth when I was 13 because I was in a bicycle accient. Dr, Smith replaced it 15 years later and I swear he's an artist. I mean the crwn looks good--so good no one believes it's a crown. I love my smile and I can thank everyone there for helping me keep it the way it should be. read more

I went to Marin Dental, and spent less and was respected more, which ain't saying much. When I told Smith I was glad to be refered to a Black Dentist. I didn't realize i was insulting him since he, in his mind isn't black but a FIGIAN. He charged over $2,000.00 for dentures. When I first went to him he took Medi-cal, When my dentures broke he charged $1,200 + to fix them with CRAZY GLUE. Then I got my own CRAZY GLUE before I found Marin County Dental Department of Health and Human Services, for less than $600.00.....Now I hace rentures, THANK GOD ALMIGHTY. I AM GRATEFUL. read more

I love Dr. Smith and his staff. They are comforting, efficient and knowledgable. I used to hate getting my teeth extracted and their office has changed my mind. I had my wisdom tooth pulled so fast I literally didn't feel a thing. I never felt so relieved. read more

I've been going to Dr Smith since childhood, and he's taken the best care of me. Now Dr Lani Donnelly is equally superb and makes going to the dentist an enjoyable experience. The whole staff is helpful and making appointments is easy. I highly recommend this practice. They are fantastic!! read more

I've been going to see Dr. Smith, and now his daughter who is there most of the time, for over 20 years. Daughter and father are the best dentists I've ever come across, and so nice. I can't think of a nicer place to get work done. If only every business was like this! read more

Dr. Bill Smith and Dr. Lani Donnelly are the best! I highly recommend them. They make going to the dentist an enjoyable experience!

Are you one of the many people that is scared to go to the dentist either because you've had a bad experience, hate Dr. offices, or haven't been to the dentist in years, so are afraid to go? Well, I am all of the above, and Dr. Smith's office was such a wonderful relief and experience, I had to write a review!! The office is adorably designed with cow ornaments everywhere to reflect the Cow Hollow neighborhood. The staff was friendly, and made me feel like I have always been a patient of theirs. When I was briefly waiting for a Dr. to see me, everyone who came in, arrived with a smile and seemed very excited to be there and see their dentist. Someone even said they were in the neighborhood and just wanted to stop by and say hi to the 'Doc', how rare is that?! The hygienist did a great job cleaning my teeth, she was very gentle, and informed me on how to better take care of my teeth. After my cleaning, they did discover I needed a root canal (sigh, but that explained the sensitive feeling I was having). I actually had the afternoon off, and they were so flexible and gave me the option for right then and there or to return for another visit at the end of the week. I opted to get the process over sooner rather than later. After fearing the dentist for 3 years, the operation was painless and what typically takes a "normal" dentist 2/3 appointments, Dr. Smith did right then in 1 sitting, because he is just that great!!! They give you a goodie bag with a tooth brush/lots of toothpaste and floss. You can even buy an electric tooth brush from them if you want. I must add, the chairs are comfortable, and you can even ask to surf the internet, watch a movie or check your email while you're being worked on as there is a monitor right in front of you! I told the hygienist I've always been self conscious about my teeth color, because I love my wine, and I discovered they had great deals for whitening your teeth, so Dr. Smith made me a set of trays and a week later I began the whitening process and now am so SO HAPPY. I receive compliments weekly on my smile and teeth, and have already referred half of my girl friends over to Dr. Smith's office! Enjoy... read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Smith's for 14+ years and I highly recommend him. His staff is very nice and the office space itself is open, airy, and clean. I love getting my teeth cleaned here! Jasmine does an excellent job and is quick but thorough. I could go to a dentist closer to my home/office but I make the trek out to Cow Hollow because Dr. Smith is such a nice person and a great dentist. read more

Best dentist I've ever been to..period! Very comfortable and pain free...

I literally just got back from my first appointment with Dr. Smith. I had such a good experience that I felt compelled to add my praise here. I moved here from the Midwest recently, so finding a new dentist seemed a bit overwhelming. I followed the advice of fellow yelpers, though, and made an appointment with Dr. Smith. Lonnie, my dental hygienist, was amazingly friendly and did a fantastic job with the cleaning. Dr. Smith was also very nice. The whole experience was 5-stars. I was able to get an appointment within a few weeks of when I called, which was also pretty cool. Great staff! read more

Dr. Smith was probably trying to save that girl money, time and pain that was complaining, filling instead of doing a full blown root canal. The same thing kinda happened to me, but the tooth stopped bothering me own its own. I still go and really like him. read more

This is the most friendly, welcoming Dentist office I've ever been to, and my cleanings are the best I've had! I used to go to 450 Sutter, but got tired of the pretension and pressure to sell crap to me, I was referred to Cow Hollow Dental and have been very, very happy with my dentist and all the other staff as well. Highly recommend them! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Smith because he is an excellent dentist. I'm not going to say going to the dentist is fun but going to Dr. Smith who is quick, efficient and a great dentist is where you should go for dental work. read more

Dr Smith and his staff at Cow Hollow are simply the best. Myfather and I started seeing him when he first became a dentist. Since many friends ,my spouse, and my children have gone to him. None of us have any fear of dentist and look forward to our visits. We drive from Santa Cruz and my daughter from Monteray to continue to use him as our dentist. He's awesome and always goes the extra mile. Even when the day comes he may retire, :-( , his daughter will be our next dentist. Amazing and I highly recommend Cow Hollow Dentist none better. read more

He has been my dentist since forever! Continued going to him after getting married and brought my boys for their first dental check-up. One of them is married now and he and his wife go to his daughter, who is equally wonderful! They continually give the best care to all of us. We are lucky they are our dentitsts. read more

bad bad bad......do not keep their word regarding re-doing their dental mistakes - not proactive with preventative help

I never used to trust dentists. After some bad experiences, I realized that some dentists are more interested in making money than keeping you and your mouth clean, happy, and healthy. Dr. Smith has made me (almost) love going to the dentist again. He is very honest, no unnecessary procedures, no unnecessary x-rays, courteous and friendly staff, professional service, and, most importantly, lots of cows roaming around his office. I highly recommend him. read more

I highly recommend Dr. Smith; he is an excellent dentist and caring individual. There is no other dentists out there as far as I'm concerned, it's only Dr. Smith for me. He's the best. read more
