I went to both Dr. Pham and Dr. Bigdol. Both great doctors and people. Dr. Bigdol has improved my gum and teeth health significantly in the past 6 months and has done it with kindness and patience. I think she is genuinely kind and caring and I had great experiences with her and her current staff. I don’t think she’s trying to just charge me for things I don’t need. Below are details on my experience with her getting a deep cleaning and a cavity filling. She recommended a deep cleaning for me after measuring my gum pockets in the regular checkup. I needed a deep cleaning but other dentists hadn’t told me to date. She didn’t push me to do one, she told me I had peridontontitis, explained what it was and risk factors, and to do more research online. After research, I decided to get the deep cleaning. I cannot even explain how kind and patient Dr. Bigdol was cause I was scared my first time, she even offered that we don’t need to do the procedure right then and I can come back to get it done and she won’t charge me for it. My gums are much better and healthy now which I know by the improved gum pocket measurements and how they look. Also, my one tooth that always gave me trouble while brushing and flossing no longer does. She also helped me get my dental hygiene right to prevent issues. At the time I started going to her, I was already flossing every day and cleaning my tongue and the whole routine. She gave me a different tongue cleaner and gum that helps with cavities (for free) and explained how to floss and brush my teeth. I was doing the right things but not the right way and I can’t believe how much they’ve improved my teeth and gums already. I also got a cavity filled with her and she only did the work cause I brought up the tooth was bothering me. She mentioned otherwise the amount of bacteria she is seeing means the other cavities are reversible at this point so she doesn’t want to the work unless it’s needed. I noticed in previous reviews, a lot of comments were the result of a small business starting pains like hiring, transferring paperwork, etc. which are not great for the customers or the dentist office. Dr. Bigdol very quickly acted on all these. The staff is excellent now, they have all the paperwork transferred, and a good process with insurance. I’ll admit there was a short window when it wasn’t perfect but it is hard to get a small business up and running. Dr. Bigdol did it quickly and her expertise, care, and empathy outshine the temporary getting a small business up and running pain points. Which again she’s worked through very quickly. I love her current office staff! All experienced, great people who know what they’re doing.

I really do miss Dr. Pham and Dr. Lieu who used to work at nob hill dental. The reason why I said that is due to the fact that they care about their patients and give follow up calls after visiting their clinic. It’s a small action, but it makes a great impact. I don’t recommend this clinic anymore since everything has changed. What they do right now is just doing their job without further caring. Once you get out of the door, you are a totally stranger. The customer service was miserable, I have to agree what people said when it comes to customer service and time wasted. One guest at a time is one of the suggestions that I will make. Why bother just coming to say hi and let you wait forever. If you can’t handle that many clients at a time, then don’t take that many patients at once. Time management is also need to be improved to be honest. Furthermore, I noticed there’s an inexperienced assistant who can’t even do the suction professionally led to I almost chock myself one time, and can’t even get the right supplies that the Doctor asked for. I understand that she might be new to this field, and doesn’t get familiar with stuff. Please don’t get discouraged when you see this, it’s not a complaint, but it’s an advice that you just have to practice more, however, I just don’t wanna be the one who get served in a unprofessional way. And there’s one time that I already stated that I signed the content at the front desk, but she just kept asking me to sign the same one again. Later, it turned out that I did sign the content. So, please listen to and trust what your client said. I wish the best for your business, but there are just a number of things need to be developed at this point. Furthermore, think about why all of the sudden you received one star reviews after Dr. Pham is gone. Everything happened for a reason. Don’t just say hater’s gonna hate, think about your professional skills, think about how much you care about your patients. Last but not least, with unprofessional customer service and attitude, you might just lose more than one clients in the future. Again, I hope you can improve your customer service skill sets and best of luck for your career.

An absolute scam of a dentistry. Do not go here. The new management ruined a well established dentistry in SF. The previous owner was kind, hard working and had a warm demeanor. I had zero concerns or issues with the previous owner and when reading at all the previous reviews before the new management, I would certainly agree with all the positive remarks and commentary about Nob Hill dental. However, since the new management came in, there has been nothing but concerns and questionable business ethics and morals. If you see the new Dr she will use jargon and scare tactics to get you to have a dental procedure you do not need. For example, she tricked me into getting a crown that I did not need, then my tooth got infected and then I had to have a root canal procedure. Which at first the dentist insisted that I was experiencing allergies and had a sinus infection for going outside with wet hair!? Which is a strange assumption to make when someone is complaining of tooth pain and headaches. I am now being charged over a 1k because they decided to not take my insurance around the time of my crown replacement. They did not inform me of this at the time of my procedure (which was in September 2021) and recently lied on the phone saying they contacted the patient (which I have no records of them contacting me, even though they have all my information). All the documents I signed said $0 since I was double covered and at the time they took my insurance. Now 9 months later I'm getting billed and they gave me one week to pay. On top of that, they are very unprofessional when responding to clients within a timely manner. As they will not answer the phone when you call and take 3 days to return your call. It is extremely disappointing that the new management and owner ruined the reputation of a once well established density in SF Nob Hill.

Worst dental experience! Unprofessional dentist and assistants. I am a customer with previous nob hill dentists. But it just suddenly change its ownership. We have made an appointment with previous dentist, so we decided to try it. I needed to do a root cannel treatment and I asked them for my previous x ray file. They told me they don’t even have me file (and I was like ). They can’t even find my name under their system? I had to contact the office where I performed the x ray to get the original copy myself. After being referred to other place for root canal, they asked me to make an appointment with them for crown service, which I did. On that day, when I called them for my appointment, they told me they don’t have my appointment on file. You can image how I feel when you take a day off for dental care but they tell you that you don’t have an appointment. Anyway, they managed to “squeeze” me in. It was a two hour session, and I spent 1.5hr sitting inside and waiting. Dr will just come in and out, chatting and helping others patient at the same time during the treatment. The crown is definitely overpriced compared to others (and the invoice has no details). By the way, they checked your temperatures at the front desk; ironically, they themselves kept coughing in the office (which I am concerned for my own health). Anyway, I am very unhappy with their service and definitely not going back again. When you still have choice, please look into somewhere else.

  • Alan Hamer

My partner and I went to Nob Hill Dental back when Dr Pham was the dentist and loved it. When ownership changed, we were not informed and my partner had a horrible experience and we switched dentists. When requesting my dental records, new management would not provide them after multiple attempts and instead continued to schedule me for appointments that I would have to cancel to avoid a late cancellation payment. I wasn’t going to leave a written review when I adjusted my rating as other recent reviewers seemed to cover the ground. I felt obligated to when I was called and left a voicemail and informed that they wanted to report my review. This indicated two things to me: 1) The Google rating this place has is likely misrepresents the actual rating, as they report low reviews. 2) They do have my contact info (and unsolicited called my number about this review) which they neglected to send my dental records to. It also contradicts the statement that I have not visited this location.

I have been searching for a good dentist for some time. Little did we know the best would be right in our hood. Dr. Bidgol of Nob Hill Dental is an excellent dentist and very professional. She is also caring and deeply concerned about the aesthetics of her work. She wants to ensure her patients are happy with her work as well. When you find a great dentist, you will also typically find an amazing staff to support the practice. The Nob Hill Dental team is also the best I’ve experienced in a practice. Alberto is very professional and together with Dr. Bidgol they are the dream team of the dental world, in my opinion. I’ve referred my family to the practice which is the best endorsement I can provide. If anyone else asks, I will refer them, too. I am a raving fan of the practice.

  • Reyna R.

Dr. Maria and all her staff at Nob Hill dental are very professional and courteous. The office is small but very comfortable and clean. The staff explain to you to you step by step what they are doing to you. I recently changed my daughter's dentist to Dr. Maria. My daughter was a little nervous for her appointment, but Henry one of her staff was very kind and spoke to her and made her feel comfortable. They are very thorough and explain everything in detail and explain to you what options you have if it is you need any additional work. Me and my daughter will continue with Nob Hill dental. I highly recommend Nob Hill dental.

  • Sofya Mulenok

Great experience; my teeth are squeaky clean. Very thoughtful dentist who gave me care recommendations and created a conservative plan of action (which I appreciated a lot, since my teeth aren't great, but I also don't want to do dental work I don't necessarily need). Update: Came back for many more appointments and with a new doctor, and the experience is consistently pleasant, and the treatment is conservative yet thorough, which is what I appreciate. I even keep coming back to SF for my dental appointments despite now living in the East Bay. 5 stars!

  • Isaac Lee

Nob Hill Dental is my trusted dental provider that has taken care of me for the past few years. The level of care and attention to detail that their team has provided to me throughout my time here is of the highest quality, supreme. Without fail, Dr. Bidgol has helped me navigate where I stand with my dental health, and what the recommended next steps are with clarity and compassion to my needs and my health. I cannot recommend Nob Hill Dental enough as a trusted provider that will take care of you as well as they have taken care of me! 10/10; 5 stars.

  • Goran Miric

I started to go to Nob Hill Dental by the beginning of 2020 and so far no complaints here. Dr. Maria Pham did a lot of work on my teeth so I spent some time with her. She keeps it real and after couple of visits she truly made me feel like at home. She did an amazing work on my teeth and is gentle enough so every time I felt like taking a nap in the chair. The staff in the office is friendly and easygoing but professional, and they keep the place super clean. I feel lucky to have her business in the neighborhood and for sure will be recommending her!

  • Laurelle Shurtleff

I have been going to Nob Hill Dental for several years now and highly recommend Dr. Pham. I went many years without dental checkups due to lack of insurance, and she made me feel relaxed and welcome and helped me get back on track. The reception staff has always been incredibly friendly. I can say I’ve never felt shamed or scolded at Nob Hill Dental, which unfortunately is something many people regularly experience at the dentist. Highly recommended for their welcoming environment and top-notch expertise.

  • Timothy Plantikow

I have enjoyed the cozy neighborhood convenience of Nob Hill Dental since 2001. These days as I am getting older I have a sense of vulnerability about maintaining my health that I have not felt before. Dr. Bigdol and her team met me with a much needed presence of warmth and empathy. My fear melted away after a few moments of talking with her. I was able to hear her accessible, clinical description of the care I need, in a tone filled with genuine human kindness. My experience was beyond outstanding.

  • Regina Y

My husband and I have been going to Nob Hill Dental since 2013. We love Dr Pham and now Dr Lieu. Quick, easy and considerate cleanings (they always ask you to raise your hand if you feel any discomfort, never have to wait more then a couple of minutes for your appointment) and they're genuinely friendly! We've been going for regular check ups but my husband also got Invisalign there and would 100% recommend it. Hard to love a dentists office, but this place is great!

  • nanaz white

I am so glad that I found Nobhill Dental! I was looking for a dentist who truly cares for patient for a long time, and I finally found Dr. Bidgol who is a caring doctor , and her patient’s best interest is her priority. I had toothache and needed treatment and a crown. I was treated right away and I love my crown. The whole staff was very helpful and friendly. I had the best experience at Nobhill Dental. Thank you for all the great work Nobhill Dental.

  • Brian Pang

I have not been to the dentist in a very long time. I was very nervous for a check up as I do not take care of my teeth as well as I want to. Dr. Pham (first visit 6 months ago, apologies I may have gotten her name incorrect) and Dr. Bidgol have been very helpful and made sure I felt comfortable with no pain all the way through. They made sure to answer any of my questions and made great recommendations on how to keep my teeth healthy.

  • Jen Hope

I havebeen going to Nob Hill Dental for many years with the previous dentist and hoped to continue but of course this was contingent on the new dentist. Good news: I like her very much! She was kind and honest, and my visit to correct a chipped tooth was painless. She gave me time to think about choices, and didn't rush me to an expensive fix, which I really appreciate. I feel relieved to have a competent dentist I like and trust!

  • Nicky Rigg

Edit: I removed the details of my original review regarding my experience at Nob Hill Dental, a second opinion from two other dentists, and their claims on my insurance because I received a email from Nob Hill saying, "Additional steps will also be taken as your review would be considered as defamation of character." I'll let their words speak for them instead.

  • Theresa Mongelluzzo

Nob Hill Dental is an excellent dental office. The staff is very professional, organized and thorough. Dr. Pham is a wonderful dentist. I felt comfortable and well cared for during my 6-month check-up. The office location is very convenient and central in the City. Highly recommend! They were also able to accommodate my rescheduling request.

  • Shareen DeRyan

Fantastic service. They treat you like someone they care about. I had an emergency and the front desk and Dr. Bidgol were so empathetic. They worked with me to get me in asap. And the prices were reasonable considering I didn't have dental insurance. Its a small business so I like to show support when customer service is stellar.

  • Kayli Hirsty

Nob Hill Dental is amazing! I think it is difficult to find a good dentist and I am committed to this office. I moved away and still kept them as my dentist. I trust them and their opinions. They do not make me feel forced to make any choices; but, they let me know their concerns and what my options are for my dental care.

  • Julia Moyer

I was looking for an urgent appointment and I was calling offices because I was in pain. Dr. Bidgol and her kind team took me in the same day while other dental offices kept pushing the appointment back. Very happy with my visit. Will be going back to get a root canal and crown with Dr. Bidgol. Highly recommended!!

  • Justin Marimon

Like so many, dental care stresses me out. I've never felt more at peace with it than I do at Nob Hill Dental. Dr. Maria is kind, gentle, and thorough. I've never had trouble creating appointments, and their system that uses text messaging for reminders and communication about billing is very convenient.

  • Popcorn M

I'm usually not the kind of person to write a review, but Dr. Bidgol is the best dentist I have ever been to in my entire life. She understood my fear of getting dental treatment and made me comfortable during the crown procedure. I highly recommend this dental practice and Dr Bidgol.

  • James Stokes

Dr Pham is excellent and the practice is very professional. She is knowledgeable and very thorough. I have been going here since I moved to SF in 2018 and it's always been fantastic service. I have no problems recommending Nob Hill Dental to my family and friends.

  • Kayla Swenson

The entire staff at Nob Hill Dental is very kind and attentive. They let me know weeks before my appointment how much it would cost so there were no surprises. I just established care with them and very glad I did! Happy to have a great dentist so close to home.
