Doctor Nina took care of me as Doctor Pokhrel was out-- she was very professional and friendly, providing great service and making sure I felt comfortable and was aware of my treatment. Will definitely come back!

Stefanie S.Verified patient

Super quick in and out. The dental hygienist was communicative and friendly. Dr. Pokhrel was also friendly and professional. Great front desk personnel too.

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

Matthew 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!

September 3, 2019Eunju T.Verified patient

April 27, 2019Emily S.Verified patient

Dr Pokhrel is the best. She is not only knowledgeable and an excellent dentist, but she is very kind and compassionate. I liked it that she didnt make her patients wait and was mindful of het schedule

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!

December 12, 2018Rahul B.Verified patient

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!

SCVerified patient

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.

ATVerified patient

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!

RSVerified patient

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.

MMVerified patient

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?

RSVerified patient

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.

RSVerified patient

Very clean and modern office. Staff is very attentive to detail. Definitely recommend.

Gil M.Verified patient

This was my first time here and wow, what a wonderful experience! The staff at this office are very friendly. The receptionist was kind and checked me in immediately, and my appointments started right on time. The technician who did my cleaning was very polite, and clearly explained each procedure being done. The office is extremely clean and I love the amenities! They are very thorough when informing you of anything going on with your teeth. This is clearly a great environment to work in and visit as a patient.

September 15, 2023Jessica T.Verified patient

Dr. An is so nice and communicative! I really appreciated the fact that the staff worked to squeeze me in to correct a chipped tooth short notice. The office itself is gorgeous (and lives up to it's name). Office staff and medical assistants are very friendly and helpful. They went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable. Loved my experience and will continue to see Dr. An and recommend him to others!

Super experience at Zen Dental. I had an appt with Dr An. I had a Teeth Cleaning appt so Majority of my time was with the Dental hygienist (young woman, so sorry I cannot remember her name). She was Excellent, patient, communicative about every step. My teeth hadn't been cleaned in say...never. She was patient, I had the worst plaque build up. I am so so glad she did such a great job. Last 10 mins Dr An, clearly explained the cavities and procedures needed. So he did well too.n I would definitely continue going there. Super clean. Super modern and Zen indeed.

VNVerified patient

From being greeted by the staff at the front desk to the patient hygienist who performed the cleaning and Dr. An, who was thoughtful and reassuring, my entire visit was a pleasure. I would recommend the practice without reservation.

SKVerified patient

I had a great experience with ZDS. The facility is modern (tv mounted on the ceiling! I watched an episode of the Glory on Netflix while Dr. An worked on me), the staff were great, and Dr. An was kind, friendly and professional. I had cleaning and a filling done at ZDS during the same week. I was surprised how comfortable I felt during both procedures (no pain, didn't feel like I want to bolt out of the chair), it was easy.

CYVerified patient

Dr An and his staff were all very professional and treated me with respect, kindness and the best of care. Though my teeth were in need of much work, they were not judgmental at all. You will not be disappointed.

LTVerified patient

Had an incredibly zen experience! BetweenDr. An's constant check-ins on how I'm doing, transparency on costs and insurance, in-depth explanations, state of the art tech, the goodie bag, and overall amazingly refreshing quality and atmosphere, I will be definitely coming back!

JGVerified patient

Zen Dental Studio is an absolutely a gem of a business! I never seen such an amazing and friendly staff at a dental office. Dr. An has given me impeccable service and made me feel like I was at home while being treated. Unlike other dental offices, they don't upsell you and genuinely cares for your dental health. If anyone hesitates or is on the fence of going here, please don't hesitate! I would definitely recommend.

DCVerified patient

Exceptional experience! I went in for a cleaning and to address an urgent treatment issue. The cleaning was gentle, attentive and very thorough. Dr. An was excellent. He really listened to my needs, managed around my neurosis/ fear of dental work and solved my issue same day. The office is beautiful and ultra clean. I left feeling sparkly, healthy and happy. Highly recommend.

KMVerified patient

Excellent customer service; booked a last minute emergency consultation and Dr. An was very upfront and informative about steps needed to tackle the issue with my front tooth moving forward. Looking forward to the next appointment!

RZVerified patient

I was with my previous dentist for almost 8 years, so I was anxious about switching to someone new after moving out of SF. Dr. Steven An is amazing, super transparent with what he’s going to do, and extremely patient. The office staff are wonderful and the environment is very zen. I almost fell asleep getting my filling while watching Netflix.
