I've been going to Russell for a few years now, every time I go in I've been treated very well. His practice is not only friendly but open and honest, I'm never surprised or left in the dark about costs or procedures. I'm a curious person and Russell delights in explaining what he's doing and why. It's clear the care they take in the quality of their dentistry and it always feels like I'm in good hands.

I had a pretty bad experience here. First, when I made the appointment, I asked how much a cleaning, exam, and xrays would cost, and was told about $240. But when I went to the appointment and was in the chair, they told me it was going to be $400. But the bigger problem was that I was told I needed to get 5 fillings and this was going to come to almost $2000. When I asked if I could put it off for awhile until Covid was less of an issue, I was told I should get it all done as soon as possible. I went to another dentist for a second opinion, and they told me that unless I was having pain (I wasn

Amazing experience in the last two years with Dr. Young. He always likes to have conversation and ask how you're doing before jumping right in, and he takes as much time as needed to answer any questions you have, even outside of just the cleaning. I hadn't gone to a dentist for 2 years before coming here, and the damage was evident... The deep cleaning would take a while, so Dr. Young let me come back for a second session at no extra charge. Highly recommended.

After I moved to San Francisco, I put off finding a dentist for a few years. Finally, I bit the bullet and decided to go. SO glad I found Dr. Young. He is awesome and so caring. I decided to get Invisalign, so I go there about once a month. They are going above and beyond to be safe during COVID. Dr. Young truly cares about his patients, and gets to know you as a person. I've also seen Dr. Kim a few times and she is also fab. The staff are friendly and helpful. I can't recommend enough!

I've heard of dentists ripping patients off before but never experienced it until here!! Beware of this place! I went in to get a tooth with a dark spot checked out and the woman I saw told me my entire tooth was cracked and I would need to have a $600+ procedure to remove half my tooth and put an enamel cap on it. I went to another dentist for a second opinion and it turned out the tooth merely had a cavity. They told me they accepted my insurance and told me my cleaning would all be covered. Ended up with $280 bill. Would never return to this place and am seriously in awe that a trained

I've been with this office for many years and continue to praise the customer service and flexibility they provide in addition to great dental work and recommendations. Recently, the office reminded me of my July 17 cleaning appointment. I was hesitant, as I entertained varying COVID scenarios. Friends and family provided emotional support and shared similar health-driven visits, so I committed to visiting. The office took every preventative and reasonable precaution prior to and during my visit. Cleaning supplies, patient distancing, masks, gloves and care were ever present in the office

I was looking for a new dentist after my previous dentist decided not to do what i needed done, but what she wanted to do and ended up running through all my insurance.
I made a same day appointment and knew i needed a lot of work done. I had to get a crown and a few more things done.
He let me know everything i needed done. And was able to fix what was causing me pain.
After a few visits, he did a pretty good job explaining what the treatment process would be.
Overall very satisfied when the service.

Russel is my go-to dude. I got Invisalign with him and he was a hoot the whole time. A very personable, very friendly and organized dental office all-together. He's a very knowledgable orthodontist and would consider this establishment a teaching office as well as a few different people cleaned my teeth or helped with fitting issues over the year. He's chatty and tries to get to know each of his patients on a personal level, and tries to do his best when it comes to billing within your budget. He's not the nickle-and-dime dentist you usually get. The facility itself could use a

Dr. Young is one of the most knowledgeable, professional, and skilled, dentists I have ever had the pleasure to meet. His staff provides caring, compassionate, and unparalleled care to all of his patients. Having graduated from the prestigious UOP school of Dentistry, he stays up to date with the most advanced techniques and equipment, providing incredible, individualized dental care. A high quality, boutique quality level practice great for families, cosmetic cases (he's a member of AACD), invisalign, etc. I would without hesitation recommend him to everyone I know.

I have been going to Dr. Young for maybe 7 years now. Whenever I see Dr. Young, he always takes the time to address any questions or concerns I might have. I like to think I'm pretty good at maintaining my dental health, so I don't usually have any special needs when I go in. The cleaning itself is pretty standard--no complaints there. Doc also occasionally keeps me updated with interesting dental tidbits (I would not call them lectures as other reviewers have), like ingredients in toothpaste that I should avoid based on recent research, which I appreciate.
Other notes--staff is friendly

If you value your time, don't come here. I sat through a 1.5 hour lecture before getting 5 mins of cleaning. We then ran out of time, so I had to come back another time for an hour long cleaning (it wasn't even with Dr. Young the second time)
During the 1.5 hour lecture, Dr. Young explained how a bite guard might help with my teeth. I politely nodded to state that I understood his slides but I never agreed to getting one yet. He did the impressions anyway after I said I need time to think about it (he said for his records?) and then I ended up with a $210 bill (they charged my insurance

Dr. Russell Young does my invisalign and he has been helpful throughout my approx. 3 year process. In the beginning I had to get a frenectomy which made me nervous but he made sure during that time that I would be comfortable and relaxed so I wouldn't feel any of the lasering. The frenectomy went by fast and it was such a smooth process that I didn't feel anything that was going on. Also he was very patience with my invisalign case as I had to redo it twice as it didn't fit but he made sure to stay connected with me to update me with everything going on. I would recommend him as
