“What a wonderful experience! I hadn’t been the dentist in a few years for a couple of random reasons, but I’m glad I came here! Everyone was very friendly and incredibly communicative. They gave me excellent advice to keep my teeth clean and my hygiene in check.
I highly recommend going to see Dr. Barkhodari!”

Dr Barkhodari is kind, understanding of my anxiety of dentists and compassionate. She is the only dentist I will ever use.
January 6, 2021Steve A.Verified patient
Excellent. Discussed potential other treatments but it didn't seem like unnecessary upselling. Had a good experience
March 14, 2012Jonathan Z.Verified patient
I've never had a more thorough cleaning or more time spent with the dentist as opposed to a hygienist. Excellent.

I highly recommend going to see Dr. Barkhodari!
September 6, 2022Kyle M.Verified patient
Unpleasant experience each time I’ve been (twice). The Dr is messy, she used the fingers she put into my mouth to touch my face several times. The cleaning is the worst I’ve had. Usually there is more involved in the cleaning than what the doctor performed.

The doctor was very professional and her whole team, from the welcoming receptionist to the dental assistant, were all wonderful!
July 5, 2020Jessica G.Verified patient
Dr. Barkhodari is amazing. She is super nice and takes time to explain any of your concerns. Front desk is nice, efficient. I felt very safe in COVID times and was seen right away.
June 17, 2020Jennifer S.Verified patient
I adore Dr. B and her team. I am reluctant to write a review because I know others will come and take up all the reservation slots (precluding me from coming to the office on impulse). But jokes, aside, this group of ladies are the best your teeth have ever seen. And thats the Michael Scott guarantee.
June 12, 2020Sean E.Verified patient
Had a great first check up with Dr.B! Both her and her staff were friendly and welcoming. She walked me through my dental X-rays and was very thorough with her explanations and reasonings behind her recommendations. Very clean and professional office with a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge!

Dr. Barkhodari and her incredible staff are effective, get the job done and are entirely awesome to spend time with. Thanks for the great job whitening my teeth!
May 3, 2019Joyce E.Verified patient
Ludi and Dr Barkhodari are basically my favorite people. I wish i had more problems with my teeth so I could come see them more often.
May 3, 2019Sean E.Verified patient
An extremely kind and professional office. I was early for my appointment and they took me right in. I left with knowing my plan of action and with the cleanest teeth I have ever had!
August 25, 2018Sarah C.Verified patient

I'm always very pleased with the level of service I receive from Dr. Barkhodari. She is very professional and thorough in her treatment of my dental needs.
October 11, 2016Mary G.Verified patient
Dr. Barkohari and her staff were very pleasant and professional. My main concern is that the visit seemed to take much longer than needed, with many breaks in the appointment that extended it. It was, by far, the longest dental cleaning appointment I have ever had. Regardless, I thought she did a good job, and I will go back.
September 9, 2016Allison D.Verified patient
Dr. Barkhodari was very personable, addressed my personal dental concerns, and was very thorough. Her assistant was lovely and professional, as was the receptionist.
February 1, 2016Katherine W.Verified patient
I really appreciated their knowledge of my insurance policy. They had all my paperwork ready to go for when I arrived. It had been a while since my last teeth cleaning. I've had dentists that try to move through the office with speed. I appreciated the time and care taken by the team here. Happy that I found a dentist in SF!
September 20, 2015Kyle G.Verified patient
I love Dr. Barkhodari! However, the woman who did my last cleaning was pretty obnoxious. She talked the entire time about flossing... I get it!
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
Very personalized. Dr. Barkhodari was very well-informed and did a very thorough exam. I felt her recommendations were honest and spot-on.
February 16, 2015Initials hidden
My first visit was great! The staff was all very personable. This was also the first time I've ever had a dentist work to avoid hitting my "sensitive tooth." Not pushy at all...attentive...and they threw in a jaw massage to wrap up my visit. I almost can't wait to go back...and this is a dentist we're talking about! :)

Best dentist I have ever been to. Very knowledgeable, cares about her patients, friendly staff. This was the first time I have had a teeth cleaning I was not anxious throughout, and did not experience any discomfort.
December 23, 2014Initials hidden
I really love Dr Barkhodari. She has an excellent bed side manner and is very quick to address any issues / needs. Her office is beautiful with views of the bridge. And her staff is very friendly and professional.
My only complaint is the constant rescheduling. Without fail, I receive a telephone call from her office at least 1-2 days prior to an appointment asking if I can come in earlier / later. I am sure it is for a good reason and they are trying to fit everyone in the schedule. But I am sorry to say - it gives the impression of a disorganized office. And requires rescheduling on the patients end to accommodate.

Love her she is a great dentist.
June 19, 2014James M.Verified patient
Very professional. The Veneers she constructed for me receive compliments weekly. Makes me feel at ease knowing that if I chip my tooth again while in another bike accident - she'll be there to make me look good as new once again! Everyone in the office is really sweet too.
More than 1 year agoBrandon G.Verified patient
Choosing to go to another dentist. She was annoyed at me for not knowing I needed x-rays on a first appointment (no one told me) and more annoyed that I did not allow enough time (had a meeting to get to an hour after my scheduled appointment). I can find a better dentist.

Dr. Barkhodari is excellent! I feel very comfortable in her office and am very happy with the services she provides. It was a pleasant experience at the dentist...something you don't hear very often. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great dentist!

This was the most thorough dentist appointment of my life. I really felt like Dr. Barkhodari was taking a serious look at my teeth and figuring out what I could do to make them look better. Her staff was nice, and the technology used in the office is top-notch!
