Third visit to Dr. Pokhrel. Great insights about optimizing my oral health. Had an incredible teeth cleaning from Daniel as well—really worked some magic on teeth
More than 1 year agoMatthew S.Verified patient
I had a great time as always. Dr. Pokhrel and all the personnel are extremely professional and kind, and they’re always on time. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
November 26, 2019Eugenie L.Verified patient
It was my first dentist experience in San Francisco. I decided to go there with good reviews from here. I got a dental cleaning from the assistant and he was okay.
I met Dr. Srijana after the cleaning and she checked one more time my teeth and found stains on my front teeth and cleared it magically! It was my stress since it's front teeth but now I can smile without worrying:) She was kind and cared for patients!

April 14, 2019Jocelyn M.Verified patient
Efficient process. Hygienist was thorough. Dr. Pokhrel was very nice, didn’t try to sell me on anything I didn’t need. Would return.
March 26, 2019Jordan K.Verified patient
Dr. Pokhrel was amazing! Count me in the camp of people who don't meditate and who initially thought the concepts of zen and dentistry couldn't mix... but I was pleasantly surprised by how welcoming, warm, and friendly everyone was. I got free matcha upon arriving and was able to watch Netflix with headphones (as opposed to lame TV commentary) during the entire cleaning. I've definitely been to many dentists over the past decade moving between cities, but she and her team are definitely the best to date!

Absolutely amazing!
November 19, 2018Anjuli P.Verified patient
She helped explain my current and future dental needs in a very direct manner, and was able to recommend behavioral changes I need to make in a way that made a lot of sense to me.
November 11, 2018Thomas H.Verified patient
She was wonderful. Exceptional”bedside” manner of her and her employees. She actually made going to the dentist an interesting experience and not a chore.
And that massaging dentist chair? What!?! I swear I could’ve fallen asleep it was so comfy.
November 7, 2018Lindsey R.Verified patient
Definitely a zen experience
October 2, 2018Kaylah M.Verified patient
I usually hate going to the dentist, but this was one of the best dental experiences I've had. From the massaging chairs to the matcha green tea, Dr. Pokhrel has created soothing environment for her patients.
October 2, 2018Tyler B.Verified patient
Really great visit. My last dentist I felt was just trying to do a ton of work to get more money, I felt really well taken care of here though and will happily recommend them, and go back again.
August 23, 2018Devon L.Verified patient
Love Dr. Pokhrel! She is so very passionate about dentistry and aims to provide the best care possible to her patients. Will be getting an Invisalign from her next!

I've been to the most expensive and well regarded dentists in the Bay Area, and none of them even begin to compare to the skill, care, or treatment you will get with Dr. Pokhrel. She is extremely compassionate and her passion for dentistry comes across in all of her interactions with you.

Going to the dentist can be awful. However Dr. Pokhrel is truly different. She has great bedside manner, a good sense of humor, and you can tell that she really does care about you and your dental health. Besides, she maintains a regular mediation practice - how cool is that?

Best dentist around. 2 other dentists tried to fix a messed up crown another dentist put in. Dr Pokhrel fixed it first time around without blinking an eye. I didn't even think it was possible. I had lived with it for 3 years because the other dentist said it was not fixable.

Anyone who is anxious about going to the dentist should visit Dr. Pokhrel! After being treated by her, I can never go back to a regular dentist again. Even if I end up moving from SF, I will be traveling back for my dental appointments just to be seen by her!
More than 1 year agoRS
I've been to Dr Pokhrel for a cavity filling and a crown on two separate occasions and have always had a nice comfortable experience. She is now my go-to dentist and I finally feel like I have a dentist who is always looking out for me. She is very kind and gentle, and makes a genuine effort to educate the patient about each treatment she performs. I've recommended many of my friends to her.
