Went in, after a year without a dentist. Dr. Creese was understanding, and although my teeth and gums aren't in the best of shape, he made me feel at ease about the treatment plan he set up.

Dr. Creese was very professional and was friendly to the regulars who were waiting in the lobby. However, I had to wait 30 min past my scheduled appointment time before being seen for 10 minutes or so for the initial oral evaluation. The office was also incredibly difficult to find so I would have appreciated some directions in the initial contact.

Dr. Creese is very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He walked me through the process and ensured I was comfortable throughout. Would definitely recommend!

A very welcoming & comfortable office environment, with professionals that worked with me in a timely, considerate & expert fashion. Gave me honest feedback, helpful dental care advice & easy-to-follow next steps.

Great service! Doctor and staff are very friendly. They do a great job at communicating and educating. And the office has the most amazing view of San Francisco. Going to the dentist is not scary anymore!

My first time going to the dentist in awhile, and Dr. Creese and his staff made it a great experience. Marguerite is the best hygenist I've ever had, she really made me feel at ease and she was a joy to talk to. Highly recommend this office!

Excellent service. Very thorough and caring. I'm very pleased so far. Keep it up and thanks.

Good location, public parking at next block, stunning view of the city scape

Dr. Richard was very friendly and helped me understand my dental issues. I would highly recommend him to others. Also, the view from the patient seat is fantastic!

Dr. Creese and his team were incredible professional and meticulous. They spent ample time with me answering all my questions and addressing my concerns. Would highly recommend Dr. Creese's practice.

Richard was thorough and friendly. The whole process was seamless from when I arrived (with no useful information) to leaving and scheduling my next appt. Highly recommend!

Before this morning, I hadn’t been to a dentist in four years. I was super nervous to come back because I knew it wouldn’t be good news. I had a wonderful visit at Dr. Creese’s office, everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming! I received a thorough cleaning that I know wasn’t an easy task and Dr. Creese was kind and comforting. Great place!

not a big fan of the dentist but had a great visit yesterday. appreciated Dr. Creese's willingness to sit down and talk through things and explain what he was seeing and the options for next steps.

I was very nervous at the beginning but the Dr. Creese mad me feel relaxed and very comfortable. I am very appreciative and thankful for his services yesterday.

Dr. Creese is extremely knowledge and efficient. It was a quick but effective trip. He is also personable and pleasant.

Super kind, thoughtful and easy to be stuck in a room with with weird stuff in my mouth

Dr Creese was kind and professional. Front desk staff helpful with a smile.

Friendly, thorough, great view

Honestly, just a really great experience overall. Dr. Creese was the most thorough dentist I’ve ever had. My previous dental visits were very quick, which I had thought was good, until I came to Dr. Creese and he and his staff meticulously checked and documented the quality of every single tooth. He found cavities that my previous dentist probably should have found too.

Was very nice and knowledgeable. AWESOME!!

Scheduled an appointment fairly last minute. Him and his office were super nice and understanding, and let me reschedule at the last minute after I missed my appointment for getting the date wrong. Dental cleaning was thorough and I really felt he cared about my health/wellbeing.

Great sense of humor and clearly knows what he's doing. Explains things in great detail!

Super helpful!!! Very flexible, kind, and was the FIRST dentist to let me know I have a wisdom tooth! Highly recommend! (Also, great view of SF from the dentist chair!)
