I found this office by a co-worker that I met in 2011. One of the challenges process in moving is locating a new dentist, General Practitioner, hairdresser etc. I love this office for teeth cleaning and dental work. read more

William W Lee, DDS - Front area - General Dentistry Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

As always, Dr Lee continues to be the best! I've been going to him for over 15 years and have never received less than stellar, professional service from every single person in his office. Everyone is friendly, in a good mood, and does a great job. Even if he's not in my network, I still go. They also never run late and I've only once waited more than a few minutes past my appointment time. Which was due to a medical emergency and they gave me an option to reschedule. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Lee for over 7 years now, this is really a long due review. My experience with Dr.Lee has been nothing but fantastic! I highly recommend him to anyone who seeks Dental treatments. I think he is one of the best dentists in the Bay Area. he is smart, gentle, kind , honest, highly skilled and did an excellent job, he takes care of his patient in and out and does what is best for them instead of what benefits himself financially or personally, for that, he deserves at least 5 stars. Thank you Dr. Lee for all the great job you have done over the years!!! read more

He's open super early in the morning 7:30am and a few Saturdays a month. His office is beautiful and I can't help but stare out the window to admire the view when I visit. The staff is super knowledgeable, courteous and professional. The hygienist does a great job at cleaning and making me comfortable when I am there. I like that I can text message the office regarding any questions and get a timely response. I also appreciate all the follow up text messages the week before and week leading up to my appt. Dr. Lee is a very kind man and does great work. I appreciate his patience in answering all my questions and seeing me in an emergency. Great office, I highly recommend. read more

Professional and pleasant dental office. I started seeing Dr. Lee 20 years ago, even before he opened his own practice. So much of my dental health is thanks to him and his team. He has kept my teeth and gums in good shape, through the twice yearly cleanings, mouth guard to prevent teeth grinding, fillings, crowns and useful dental tips (e.g. flossing technique, use of electric toothbrush). My availability has not aligned with Dr. Lee's schedule in recent years, so he has not tended to me in a while. But he does such a great job hiring, and I have complete trust in the other dentist, Dr. Wen, who is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly, and in the variety of hygienists who have cleaned my teeth, who are, mostly, thorough, yet gentle. Dr. Lee has carefully curated an office team that reflect his values of professionalism and optimal chair-side manner. They also go above and beyond to make me feel like they know me, and that I am not just another patient. They always make an effort to remember stories I've shared and ask about my family and vacations. The one complaint I have is that we don't get to talk and swap stories as long as I would like, but I do understand they have a business to run, and they must get to the next patient, which leads me to my next point. The operations are so well run, and they know how to schedule appointments to allow enough time for the procedure, sprinkled in with some chit-chat. I always leave the office feeling like the appointment was efficient, and I was well cared for. read more

Have been seeing Dr. Lee for over 10 years. He is fantastic, along with Dr. Wen and the entire team. They are responsive, accommodating, and always have time to talk through procedure details, etc. read more

After going to a bunch of dental offices in the city. I was very dissatisfied with all them. I almost gave up until I found Dr. Lee's office. Believe me when I say - I don't always go to the dentist but when I do ... (you get the idea) Office is conveniently located a block from the Montgomery Station on Sansome Street on the 7th floor. Across from the new Blue Bottle Coffee, which you should only drink after your visit. Just don't tell the doctor or the hygienist you're going there afterwards. :) Great modern office space with spacious room between "The Chair" and high ceilings. That way you do not feel all claustrophobic when your being cleaned. Since going here, I noticed my gums are not as red and puffy from the build that occurs due to improper brushing and flossing on my part. The wonderful hygienist showed me how to correctly brush and floss. Oh man, does it make and feel different when you actual brush and floss correctly. Both doctors are amazing, gentle and kind. I had to get a filling replaced and that was probably one of the best filling experience you can ask for. I did not feel pain (probably due to my pain tolerance being higher than most), fast, and the job was done right. My bite after the filling was spot on because the Doctor spent the extra time to check that everything was good. I would always recommend my friends and colleagues to come here. Role play: Friend (F), Me (M) F - Why should I go here? M - Because you teeth is bad. F - What if I don't like this office? M - There's no 2 year contract like your wireless phone. Just give it a try and you make that decision to stay or not. F - Good point. I'm making an appointment right now. P.S. In the end it's your mouth and teeth. If you want to look like the State of California with all of it's sink holes and pot holes due to the lack of cleaning and preventative care. Don't go see a dentist. Just don't yell and scream when you need to get all of your teeth pulled out or replaced because it's aching and you can't eat. Just my 2 cents. read more

William W Lee, DDS - Waiting room area. - General Dentistry Near Me - San Francisco, California

This review is long overdue! Dr. Lee is, hands-down, the best dentist I've ever had. He's knowledgeable, gentle and genuinely cares about his patients. After dental procedures, he calls you to check on how you're feeling. All the hygienists in the office are also incredible! If I had not moved out of SF, I would be his patient for life. read more

The care I got while in the office was fine, but after specifically asking about insurance coverage up front, I was surprised by a $500 bill for cleaning and X-Rays. My provider only covered a small portion of this, but even so - seems like extremely steep pricing. read more

Dr. Lee is kind, on time, and efficient. I respect this about a dentist, and referred many people to him over the years. However, I no longer recommend Dr. Lee or use him myself. Due to my gum recession, Dr. Lee was always telling me to "stop brushing so hard." It never got better (so he told me this many times). And it always seemed strange - I brush my teeth quite softly! Another dentist realized that the recession was not related to brushing at all - but instead bruxism. He approached the matter with what seemed like more thoughtfulness and sophistication, and once diagnosed, was able to correct it easily. This experience shook my trust in Dr. Lee and made me wonder if he is sometimes too speedy and efficient to provide top-caliber care. read more

I've been a long time patient of Dr. Lee and recently had my annual XRays and check up. They discovered a cavity and I had to remove the crown and fill the cavity. In the process of executing this work Dr Lee discovered another cavity and repaired both teeth at the same time. Dr. Lee and his staff are always professional and provide really great customer service along with very high quality dental services. I'd highly recommend Dr. Lee for your dental services. They've really helped me over the years to improve my dental health and in so my over all health. George read more

This is a case of 5-star reviews changing someone's perception. I started going to see William Lee because of the overwhelming 5-star reviews on Yelp. In general, things are great. His staff is fantastic and friendly. He is a nice guy, if a little quiet and distant. The office itself is super modern and in a very convenient location for FiDi workers. On the whole I would have been giving William Lee a 5-star review myself. The problem is that I've experienced issues at this office that I've never experienced anywhere else. The first two times I was like, "Oh well, it could happen anywhere. And after all, he's got so many 5-star reviews on Yelp." But the last time was the limit. I can't go back again. I went in for a filling. I've had a lot of fillings done in my life. I left with my bottom lip split open. I don't know how that could happen. Maybe he was using my lip to rest his hand as he worked, and the tooth underneath cut into my skin. I don't know how it happened. I only know that I went in feeling fine, and left with an aching jaw (from the anesthetic shots) and a ridiculously painful cut on my lip that took a week to heal. I had to go to meetings at work looking like I was having some sort of herpes outbreak. It's a shame, really, because I liked everything else about William Lee, his staff and his office. It's just...I've never had a dentist cause me so much discomfort consistently over a number of visits. After this last visit I sat and thought about my previous visits there, and I realized that each time I was slightly traumatized by the process, and the recovery. It's too bad I let myself be blinded by the 5-star reviews for so long. I should have switched sooner. read more

RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE! I just called this office 30 seconds ago and the receptionist put me on hold 3 times. I asked if they were taking new patients and she answers with a curt, Yes but we are booking a month out. Okay? so? I can still come here right? So I tell her that's okay and that I want to see if I can come in. (this is where she puts me on hold again in the middle of a sentence) She asks me for my insurance and I tell her what I have. She then tells me that they only take PPOs and that its probably better for me to go to an in network doctor. I wasn't sure if I have a PPO or an HMO so I ask if it's okay for me to give her my insurance information. She cuts me off in the middle of my sentence to tell me that I can call the insurance. WOW great customer service. Turns out I do have a PPO but after that I wouldn't come here now anyways. read more

Up until a year ago, dentists were my worst enemies. But then I went to Dr. Lee. He provides excellent dental care, but almost more importantly, he makes the patient feel comfortable and at ease. During my first visit, Dr. Lee told me that I had five cavities that needed to be filled. That would be bad news to some, but he was so nice and reassuring that I was happy during our appointment and smiled all the way back to work. HAPPY!? Who is happy after the dentist, especially after finding out that they have five cavities? Anyway, I got those cavities filled in two, pretty much painless, sessions and have had two cleanings. Everything has been exceptional. The office is clean and comfortable, the receptionist is responsive and super nice, and the hygienists are excellent. Not to mention that Dr. Lee has sent me two thank you notes in the mail (which is so nice in this time of emails) and called personally to check up on me after my two cavity filling sessions! Amazing service! read more

I chose Dr. Lee's office because of the many five stars on Yelp. I have now been going to the dentist here for about 7 months. I am going through invisalign treatment and have had one cleaning and one general checkup. The hygenist (and asian lady whos name I dont remember) was awesome and very friendly! The assistant is nice as well. Charlene the receptionist is very down to business and very good at her job. Dr. Lee-the pros are also the cons: It seems to me that Dr. Lee is fairly young. There are things about him and his assistant who make them seem less experienced. This does not put me off. I myself am just under 30 and feel a kind of satisfaction by giving the up and coming dental professionals business. I do think there are things about their (what may be) new-ness to the field that put my experience below excellent. Sometimes the customer service is a bit more business-like than friendly, other times they are very friendly and talkative. It really varies. With time I think that this will be a very successful practice. Great location, nice people. Easy to schedule with, email notifications, etc. read more

This review is loooong overdue. Dr. Lee is amazing. I have always disliked going to the dentist, but his office does not feel like the hospital-esque spaces I'm used to. It's very modern and welcoming, and it puts you right at ease. His assistant (Monique, I believe) is very amiable and does everything she can to make you comfortable. The man himself does not act like the crazy busy dentist I assume he is. He is in no rush and wants to make sure all your questions get answered and all the procedures are explained to your satisfaction. I really feel like he cares for each individual patient. I received a handwritten card a couple weeks later, thanking me for my business! AND, since I'm a new patient, I received a reusable grocery bag along with the usual toothbrush and floss samples--he thought it would be a good idea since the city now taxes for plastic/paper bags. Isn't that super thoughtful?? My ONLY problem, and the reason I put four stars, is the receptionist. I found Dr. Lee via yelp, and made my appointment through email. Sharon asked me for my SSI and other sensitive information, and I asked to call her to communicate it. She says, "You can just email it Lisa" I replied that I would not like to send that information in an email and what time would be good to call her. She doesn't apologize or anything, and answers as briefly as before that I can call her after her lunch. I call her, and she forgets who I am. After I give her the information, she ends the conversation with, "bye, Linda." Then she emails me my benefits information: "Welcome, Nick! We are excited to have you join our practice!" It also takes four different tries to schedule an appointment, and it's always her fault. Ex: Her: "Would you like Thursday, Jan 3?" Me: "Jan 3rd is Friday, but I can do either Thursday or Friday anytime before 10am." Her: "Jan 3rd at noon?" etc. I almost decided not to go to Dr. Lee. I am glad I stuck it out. However, Dr. Lee, if you're reading this, she completely misrepresents your business, and you should strongly consider a new receptionist. read more

Dr Lee and his hygenist are really nice. Dr Lee is a conservative dentist which i like. I had some "spots" on my teeth which could develop into cavities. My old dentist wanted to fill them right away. Dr Lee said he'll keep an eye on it and would wait until it was actually a cavity unless i wanted it filled. I've been to him for a year now, no issues. Everything is clean, modern, digital xrays and all that. He really cares and is very thorough. read more

I admit that seeing the dentist is not my most favorite event on my agenda and I've been searching for the perfect dentist. After realizing that the preferred dentist on my medical plan had the worst reviews, I asked around and my coworker referred Dr. Lee. WHAT A BLESSING! I have never had a better experience at a dentist's office than the one I had at Dr. Lee's, today. The positive professionalism amongst his team was incredible. Upon arrival, I was directed to a private computer where I completed my medical history. Dr. Lee came by and introduced himself with a warm smile and I immediately felt at ease. He led me to the dental chair which was as state-of-the-art as the rest of the equipment in the room; and the room was extremely clean and inviting. I was introduced to Yolanda who was in charge of taking my xrays. Yolanda, with her adorable personality and gentle touch, took the xrays without jamming the equipment into my mouth, like I've experienced at other offices. Dr. Lee then did a very thorough examination explaining everything he was doing while showing me the images on the computer screen in front of me. He answered every question I had and it was very clear that he knows exactly what he is doing. His interests are not to gouge patients out of money, he honestly helps you prioritize your dental health. I was then met by Maura, who was in charge of my cleaning. Another true professional. This was by far the best and most comfortable cleaning I ever had. She checked & measured my gums while we briefly chatted about our favorite wines and she followed through with a very thorough cleaning leaving me with a million dollar smile. I walked back to the front to check out with front desk manager, Charlene who is a class act. She went above and beyond what I had ever expected. Prior to my appointment, she took the time to contact my insurance company to discuss coverage AND she followed through by contacting me with the information. She is the sparkling, bright presence at the front who is helpful, attentive and charming. Dr. Lee has created the perfect formula for a successful dental office: Knowledge, experience, affordability, cleanliness, kindness and a great staff!!! I no longer dread going to the dentist! read more

Thank you Dr Lee! I had a horrible experience with another dentist in the area and ended up having to get a root canal. An expensive and painful event. I wasnt even a patient of Dr. Lee but I called him to get the root canal done since I didnt want to go back to the same doctor. He doesn't perform root canals himself, but he recommended a friendly and talented doctor - Dr. Brian Nguyen. By the time I went into Dr. Lee's office to finish the permanent filling, my dental insurance was all dried up. I was so worried it was going to cost an arm and a leg. However, I was pleasantly surprised about how accommodating he was! He suggested I push the expensive procedure to Jan to save some money. Very thankful for that! Overall, friendly and accommodating with a clean and welcoming office! read more

Awesome experience and would highly recommend! Being new to the San Francisco area I was referred to Dr. Lee. Off I went this morning and walked into an ultra welcoming modern waiting area greeted by friendly receptionist Charlene. I was then led into a small room with a computer to fill out my patient information and read through patient disclosures all electronically for they are a paperless office! Kudos! Save the trees! Dr. Lee then greeted me and led me to one of the patient chairs. Introduced me to their Dental Tech Monique who proceeded to do my x-rays all electronically! It was quite entertaining seeing my x-rays as they were being taken. What I noticed to is the extra care she took with ensuring that everything was clean! clean! clean! The lighting handles were covered with washable covers, all equipment to touch me in the procedure were covered with plastic and latex, and she completely wiped down each equipment thoroughly after each use. Then next Dr. Lee proceeded with my exam and glad to say no cavities!! Whoo-hoo!! He gave me clear helpful suggestions regarding my dental health. He was a doll! On to my wonderful spa like gentle cleaning by Dental Hygienist My. She was super sweet and took the most absolute care! The plus with her is that she is a dog lover like me and we both have Maltese! Overall A++ from decor, customer service, and patient care! read more

Dr. Lee and the Team are extremely professional and welcoming. It's nice to be able to walk into an office that isn't clinical but has the overall contemporary feel of a beautiful loft space. From the warmth of the reception area to the very detailed, thorough abilities of each person on the team, the overall experience will be one to make you smile a little brighter. Look no further and enjoy your dental experience! Oh yeah, don't forget to floss! ;) read more

Best dentist in SF!!!!! Wish he does kids too. My husband and I love his staff and clean beautiful office! read more

Wow, what a difference a great dentist makes. After years of going "on the cheap" and using HMO dentists, I am glad I finally made the switch over to Dr. Lee. From the moment you walk in the door, you just know you (and your teeth) are in for a far better dental experience. Without being unnecessarily frilly or fussy, Dr. Lee's office is elegant, clean, and very professional. His staff handled my billing in the most transparent manner possible, and are always friendly and flexible. I couldn't believe how incredibly thorough Maura, Dr. Lee's hygenist, was on my first visit. While my entire HMO dentist visit was 20 minutes, she spent over an hour meticulously looking over my teeth and really getting them to sparkle again. Without lecturing, she offered some great advice on how to take care of my teeth and improve between visits. I was really impressed. Dr. Lee also exhibits the same kind of thoroughness--my exam was a full hour as well, and he used the technology at his disposal not to just take pictures and make snap judgements, but to really discuss my current dental status and plan out a course of treatment. I especially appreciated how he wasn't pushing me into doing anything drastic or immediate--just map out what would be needed in the future. And to top it all off, when I did get the bill, my out-of-pocket expense was really not that much more than what my HMO, and with a far more thorough and professional experience. I'm sold! read more

Dr. Lee and his staff have created the friendliest, most comfortable, and professional dentist office I have ever experienced. I highly recommend him. His cheerful staff make you smile from the minute you're in the door until the moment you leave. They are kind, courteous, and thorough, leaving you looking forward to your next visit. Dr. Lee is young, friendly, and detailed. Most extraordinarily, his chair-side manner is unparalleled. He takes the time to show and tell you about your dental health in scientific and layman's terms. -Very informative. The sleek, modern decor is sophisticated and chic. I was certain that the cast of Sex and the City would be walking through the door at any moment to get their dental exams just like me. Overall, Dr. Lee and his staff provide an excellent service and experience. read more

HERE'S THE REAL DEAL: -Over priced exams -Mediocre to poor dentistry -Apparently everyone needs a "deep cleaning" (NOT) which of course is more expensive -pushes "preventative" dental work ( more $$$ right) So referred by a friend I went to see Lee for a yearly check up. The office is nice, clean, the staff is professional and Dr. Lee is pleasant. That is where the good stuff ends unfortunately. The tech took x-rays of my mouth and then Lee came to do an exam. He checked my gums as well. This is called a BPE -Basic Periodontal Examination. The dentist uses his metal probe and pushes on different areas of your gums and reads of numbers to the assistant. Notice this chart doesn't even have 5's on it. Score 0 Perfect no attention needed 1 Quite good some attention needed (1 visit) 2 Average Needs attention and advice (1-2 visits) 3 Trouble but nothing that cannot be corrected (2-3 visits) 4 Problems a series of appointments needed to limit tooth loss. * potential for surgical intervention- Indicates furcation involvement Generally if a BPE score of 4 has been identified in a sextant then you can move on to the next sextant as there isn't a worse BPE score. I'm young and my teeth are in good shape, I was just coming in for a regular cleaning. However now I was being told I have some 3's but MANY 4's and 5's on my exam and should have a "deep" cleaning that cleans under the gum line. I was shocked by this! He also told me I have a cavity that he can take care of the next appointment. He "tapped" on one of my teeth so hard asking about sensitivity I thought he was going to crack it! I had to reschedule for the deep cleaning he suggested so my appointment ended. His results and suggestions were very suspicious to me so I went to get a second opinion. **A TRUSTED SECOND OPINION** I have a friend who has been a dental hygienist for OVER 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE so I went to her to recheck Lee's "findings". She took x-rays and did a BPE exam. She told me I had mainly 3's and maybe a 4 but definitely no 5's. Additionally the dentist checked my "cavity" and said it was so small that I could use prescription toothpaste, Clinpro 5000, that would most likely resolve the cavity since it was so small. Basically my hygienist friend told of course is you press hard enough you will get 4/5 results. She was trained in Boston and to me has much more experience. Lee only has been practicing 11 years. CONCLUSION**DON'T GO BACK! I saved myself from being charged a ridiculous amount for a deep cleaning that wasn't even necessary. I also saved myself from having a cavity procedure that wasn't required. In the end I still had a balance to pay after my Delta Dental insurance paid because Lee's office has higher rates.Common check-up and cleaning costs can vary. Dentists charge different rates depending upon your situation and where you live. In most places, an average check-up costs about $288, which covers an exam, x-rays AND cleaning. I understand that things cost more in SF HOWEVER IT COST THIS MUCH AND MY TEETH WEREN'T EVEN CLEANED! This is completely unacceptable! I know another person that went to him and was told they needed a "deep cleaning" as well. Ridiculous, it's too bad it seems like this office is just out to make $$$. You have been warned. Here are links for more information. I would always check what your dentist rates are for each exam BEFORE getting any work done, and then check with your insurance coverage of that exam. http://memberbenefits.com/dental-costs-with-and-without-insurance/ http://www.dentalnotebook.com/basic-periodontal-examination-bpe/ GOOD LUCK FINDING A DENTIST, AVOID THIS ONE! read more

Pros: Super friendly staff! Clean, modern-feeling office Cons: Expensive Dentist is very busy The main thing to be aware of is that they are considerably more expensive than some insurance companies think is reasonable. My insurance company claims that they pay 100% of the amount for all the standard, covered services. But when the dentist sent them the bill, they balked, and paid only a bit more than half, leaving me with close to a $200 charge at the end. All I asked for was the standard stuff that was covered by insurance. In fairness, another insurance company I had covered the full amount. So it's just a bit of a crapshoot, and according to this office, there's really no way to know until they submit the bill. The dentist is also super busy. He's very friendly when you have him. If you want a dentist who will get you in and out rapidly for standard check ups, he's great! If you want a dentist who will spend time with you on a standard check up, well, I've found that he's prioritized other patients with more advanced needs, and spent only very brief periods of time with me. Based on the other reviews here, my experience with the dentist being so busy is a bit of an outlier. I'm glad to see everyone else had a better experience with him! read more

A friend referred me to Dr. Lee after I had a bunch of crappy dental visits to some other dentists. His office offers weekend appointments which was perfect for my work schedule and I left his office feeling reassured, relaxed and I had clean teeth! He has also been able to track some other health issues that I have that relate to my teeth. I have had other dentists but none as detail oriented and honest as Dr. Lee. read more

I had my first appointment with Dr. Lee this morning and all the 5 star reviews are spot on. My crappy dental insurance doesn't cover anyone in San Francisco (literally) so I have to pay out of pocket for dental. Because of that, I'd been putting off going to the dentist for over a year, and because of that, I feared this visit even more. It turned out I had absolutely nothing to be afraid of. The staff at the front desk were super friendly, the woman who did my cleaning was super friendly, and Dr. Lee himself was super friendly. I was a little nervous when Dr. Lee said he would poke around and then determine a treatment plan (great, another dentist trying to rip me off for things I don't need) but it turned out his treatment plan was just to come back every 6 months for cleaning and exam. After today's exam, I feel confident he isn't going to suggest unnecessary products or procedures. I don't know what else to say except it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Dr. Lee. read more

I have been going to Dr Lee for over 10 years. I truly wish I had gone sooner. He and his office staff are very professional, genuinely nice, his rates are totally average, the location is so easy to get to, the space is clean, open, tastefully designed. The equipment is up to date. Our DR is not only excellent, he is also a professor at a dental school. A bonus is his network of support professionals. i.e. for implants, root canals, crafting dentures and crowns...he has found the best! I have always felt in good hands and believe me, I know what the opposite is. This is why I can highly recommend this dentist office. Whether you have Dr William Lee or one of his colleagues, you will be very satisfied. read more

I was referred to this practice by one of my coworkers after searching desperately for months. I had the best experience with front desk, the lady who did some prep work and Dr herself (I didn't get to be visited by Dr.Lee but his right hand!)Everyone was extremely professional and throughout, the facility was neat and clean! I highly highly recommend this practice read more

I should start by saying that I'm the kind of patient dentists DREAD. Between the sadistic dentists I've had and the amount of work I'd had to have done (I spent 4 years of my teenaged life under the belief I was lactose-intolerent, and therefore did not get enough calcium. Result: cavities.), I hit the point where I was getting panic attacks at the dentist's office at 18 and 19 years old. I basically stopped going. I finally had to suck it up when I accidentally pulled out a filling while flossing. I hit up Yelp and found the reviews for Dr. Preston Brown promising. I called his office, where a wonderfully friendly receptionist informed me that he was leaving for 2 weeks the following day. She told me that Dr. Brown shares an office with Dr. Lee, and gave me the number. When I called Dr. Lee's office, they were super understanding and made an emergency appointment for me the following day. I ended up being late because I drove and had trouble finding parking, so there wasn't enough time for him to re-fill it. He still took a thorough look and made sure I wasn't in any pain (and didn't charge me for the appointment), and scheduled another appointment for a filling two days later. When I came back, Dr. Lee and the hygienist (her name slips my mind) were WONDERFUL. They explained everything to me before and after, they were friendly and warm, and they checked to make sure I was okay throughout the process. The actual filling process was about a BILLION times better than any I've ever had. When it was done, I seriously asked, "Was that it?!" The following oral exam was also completely different from any I've had. Dr. Lee was thorough, did not rush, and explained everything as he went through. After, he went over some preventative things with me that NO ONE had ever told me before (but everyone should have) that are actually very simple. He took the time to explain how and why things happen, which was great. He really made me feel like I'm part of the whole dental health process- a totally new feeling for me. I'm incredibly impressed with Dr. Lee. I honestly believe that my days of panic attacks and hyperventilating and refusing to go to the dentist are behind me. I would highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone and everyone, but especially to people who don't do well with the dentist. read more

An amazing experience!!! Starting with a beautiful office, friendly staff, and state of the art equipment. Dr. Lee was professional and relaxed at the same time. Really paid attention to details! My smile makes me smile!! read more

I've only been to Dr. Lee's office one time so far. I have to say that it has been a breath of fresh air. I used to have a dentist in Seattle that I loved. When I moved to Portland, I could not find a good dentist that I trusted. Now in San Francisco I've met Dr. Lee and I'm really impressed with his approach, style, character and the office is not too shabby either. His staff is nice, and he seems to really care about his patients and their needs. I didn't feel for one second that he was prescribing unnecessary treatments and he was more than accommodating. He uses great technology in his office and I can tell he's passionate about his work. So far, highly recommended. read more

Dr. Lee is kind, a gentle touch dentist and very attentive. I've seen two different hygienists now for my cleanings and both have been equally sweet. Efficient too so I don't have to take too much time off my work day. The current receptionist (Naomi) could have been a little nicer but no need to fault the doctor for that. She also didn't seem to know very much about insurance. read more

I found my way to Dr. Lee based on reviews and his office's proximity to my office a few years ago and have as happy as I can be (given that we are talking dental visits here) with Dr. Lee and his staff. They are exceptionally positive, professional, and pleasant and create a very friendly, genuinely caring and efficient vibe from the moment you walk in (Charlene at reception), sit down (Mai on cleaning) and get your exam (Dr. Lee, Yolanda and co). The office is clean and seems on the cutting edge of dental and other technology (e.g. you get texts and e-mail notifications on when your next suggested appointment is which you can confirm with a simple reply in 2 seconds or call to reschedule). Caring, thorough, knowledgeable, pleasant, and responsive...other than no cavities or dental issues, what more could you want? read more

I've been going to Dr. Lee for a little under a year now (I'll have to come back and give another amazing review once I hit my dental anniversary with the office!), and they are so wonderful. I've had nothing but amazing experiences with every member of the staff. They are so kind and sweet and really put you at ease-- whether you're in for a cleaning or for major work. I know that when I was choosing a dentist, I felt like I was picking blindly and I was really nervous. Luckily, I had a friend recommend me to Dr. Lee-- and thank goodness. I don't have the time or the courage to shop around with dentists and risk and unpleasant experience. I noticed that someone below gave a negative review below about a cut lip. Bummer. Dr. Lee-- I can't remember if you already do this, but maybe you all could apply some petroleum jelly chapstick stuff to patients lips before beginning..? That's all I've got! Y'all rock. read more

Today I just did my first dentist appointment with Dr. Lee and my experience was wonderful! It's my first time visiting here (changed job earlier this year and my old dentist is kinda too far from my new location). Also I'm the last appointment of the day (4pm) but I didn't feel being rushed out by them. Even though I was the only patient there and every one else took off already, they still spent time with me and ensured that they got all my concerns taken care of. I kinda feel bad keeping them late at work..... I will not do that again!!! All the people I met so far are nice and patient with me. Naomi, the receptionist was pretty cool. The lady, (sorry I forgot her name!), who took 360 X-RAY of my teeth was very attentive and very thorough. The hygienist Mai was very knowledgeable and her skills are great too! The cleaning process was such a breeze! All the staff there are very warm and personable! Dr. Lee is very professional and detail-oriented as well! I don't have any big teeth issues and he gave me very useful advice/tips on how to take care/maintain my teeth. From my conversation with him I can see that he cares about your dental health and gives advice based on what's the best for the patients. Definitely will recommend Dr. Lee to people I know in the area!! read more

I've been going to Dr. Lee's office for at least 4 years now. He and his staff are very friendly and professional. The office is clean, beautiful, and quite relaxing. I work downtown so it's also very convenient for me, being in FiDi and near the Montgomery BART/Muni stop. In all, highly recommended! read more
