Highly recommend Dr. Lake Great dental experience.

The staff told me that their office system is not linked with ZocDoc. In the age of technology that’s not acceptable. I had an emergency and sat around the office for awhile before anyone spoke to me. I was not impressed with how they managed a new potential patient.

Loved it, Dr. Lake and his staff are easily some of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. I had a lot of anxiety going to the dentist after some bad experiences as a child, and Dr. Lake made me feel comforted and at ease, without any judgement. I had a really positive experience, and I 100% would recommend him to anyone else.

Insurance was a nightmare with this one even though I was told in network. But appointment with Dr. Lake was ok and Christina’s customer care dealing with insurance is greatly appreciated.

The staff was super helpful with booking and getting me set up for a second opinion with Dr. Lake. He has a great personality, very knowledgable and professional. Happy to have found my permanent dentist.

Great visit! Would recommend to anyone!
March 15, 2018Kelly R.Verified patient
Great experience! On the first visit Dr. Lake takes lots of photos (not just x-rays) as a means of watching how your teeth change over time. He also goes through all the photos to show you what he's seeing. Gentle cleaning. Nice staff. Highly recommended.

Great care, and Dr. Lake taught me a lot about my teeth and gums that I have never been informed about before. Will certainly go back.

He was very personable and fun to talk with. His office is the cleanest and nicest dentist office I've ever been in and I've probably seen 10+ through my life of constant moving. To boot, he very simply explained everything going on with my teeth both past and present, why it mattered, how it affects my teeth now and in future but not using any "scare" tactics just simple explanations. If you're looking for a new dentist and just read this, you're done looking. This is where you go.

Dr. Paul-Ryan is very knowledgeable and thorough. He is also super warm and caring---which will put even the most nervous patient (read me!) at ease. The office is extremely clean and very modern with all of the latest equipment. Office hours and locations are very convenient, which makes scheduling a breeze. Definitely one of the best dentists that I have used.

Paul and his team (from the receptionist to the hygienists) were all so friendly, energetic and on point. The hygenist I had paid extremely close attention to things I pointed out. Paul was the nicest guy- very fun and relatable! I highly recommend him and am planning on going back!

Dr. Lake was fantastic! It had been 8+ years since I had been to the dentist but being new to SF figured now was the time to establish a better dental routine. He made me feel welcomed, relaxed and did an excellent job of presenting information. I'm really excited to make this my new dentist office! I don't usually write reviews but when the level of service is this high, it would have been a shame not to.

What a comforting Dr. Handsome and nice. The office is very cool and the receptionist extremely nice. "Totally Rad!" Is what I would say.
October 17, 2013Scott H.Verified patient
The office is super conveniently located in Union Square overlooking the park. It was sleek and clean inside with modern equipment. Dr. Lake was fantastic, great demeanor- calming, efficient and mindful to the apprehension I had after waiting two years between dentist visits. Teeth cleaned and checked in a thorough manner and out the door having one of the better dental visits I've ever had. I would highly recommend!
September 19, 2013Nancy H.Verified patient
The office is nice and they have iPads to fill out forms. Having iPads is not as good as DocuSign-ing forms, but still 10x better than paper forms that most of the other offices utilize.
The doctor was nice and the equipment was fantastically brand new.
The best thing I liked is that office is neat and clean. Somethings tells me that I can trust for my future visits.

A state-of-the-art office with extremely warm and kind employees. I was sad to go - which I think is something you can rarely ever say about your dentist appointment!
All around an excellent experience!

I needed a root canal and although he was unable to do it, he saw me late on a Friday afternoon and then got me into an appointment on Monday to get it done.
