Dr. Dare was most helpful....I was able to get an emergency appointment immediately. He analyzed the problem, put on a temporary filling, prescribed penicillin which helped me get through the next few days...and recommended me to an endodontic.
5
Always an efficient experience at Dr. Dare's - came out feeling fresh and clean as always!

The front office staff is always friendly, helpful, & cheerful. The initial experience in any dental or other business setting begins there & sets the tone for a positive visit. The Hygenist (Lionel) was equally friendly & professional. He explained each step of the procedure & I particularly appreciated the short intervals for draining the fluid from my mouth, which avoided the "choking" or "gagging" that is often a result from waiting too long for suction.
5
Office staff is always so friendly. And they fit me in on a Saturday with very little advance notice. The hygienist was so professional and Dr. Dare so very approachable. A+ service all around.
5
We've been going to Dr. Dare since he first arrived. Couldn't be happier with the care!

I've gone here my whole life and they are the best! I still have no cavities... Thanks Dr. Dare and team!

I've been going to Dr. Dare for years and have always had a great experience. This year I happened to be on a very tight schedule due to an unexpected work issue. The office was INCREDIBLE in getting my cleaning done AND getting me out the door so I wasn't late. Amazing! They have done other things to help me out in the past, too. I recommend them! The location is convenient and the parking lot also rocks!
5
As a long time patient, I am very pleased with the consistent quality and kindness of care from Dr. Dare and his staff.
5
It was all very, very good 😀
5
Wonderful Dentist with a very friendly, supportive staff!
5
Dr. Dare and his team are attentive and friendly. I've been a happy patient for six years even when I've moved to multiple cities in the Bay Area. I enjoy returning for my two teeth cleaning each year, but have also received other services intermittently such as: replacing by silver fillings with white, reshaping my unexpected chipped front tooth, and addressing my unwanted cavities. Dr. Dare and his team always ensures that I'm comfortable during my dental visits. So I strongly recommend Dr. Dare to friends, family, colleagues, and anyone new to the Bay Area.
5
I love my Dentist office. Caring and always attentive from the front office, technicians and Dr. Dare! Everyone is amazing!

5
Dr. Dare and his staff are absolutely fantastic and incredibly kind and friendly. Their cleanings are through and their dental guidance is both practical and skilled. I would strongly recommend contacting them for your care. Simply put, they are best dental care team I've ever experienced.
5
I think I received excellent and pleasant care and advice from Dr Dare AND Jodie on my cleaning and check up visit this week.
5
Dr. Dare is the best dentist I have ever had the pleasure of seeing! If you're searching for a new dentist, this is the one!! I have always had a fear of going to the dentist, but now that I have Dr. Dare the fear is gone. His team goes above and beyond to make you comfortable and he has an incredibly gentle touch. I received two fillings from him, and from beginning to end, it was absolutely painless and expertly done. Would highly recommend this dentist office!

Cleaning and exam were very thorough. Dr. Dare and his hygienist, Alicia, and assistants were all quite professional and pleasant.
5
My visit was quick cleaning and informative giving me advice on what I need to do to clean my teeth. Why I should do more to keep up with my flossing so I won't have much build up of plaque around my teeth
5
Very friendly and skilled team here. Small practice that you can build a relationship with and they don’t try to “upsell” you like many of my past experiences. Dr. Dare takes the time to get to know you and genuinely cares.
5
I was very satisfied with my first visit. I just moved to the area and was a little uncertain about finding a new dentist. The office staff was helpful. Dr. Dare was thorough with his exam and cleaning. The entire experience was very comfortable and my teeth felt great afterwards.

He actively involved me in my treatment plan, giving me the options he could or would employ to reach the mutually desired result.

Great service and quality team work from all at Dr. Dare's dental office.
5
I was just thinking how lucky i am to have stumbled on to this dental office. Not only is the staff (Claudia and Jodie specifically) competent and gracious but they are very attractive as well! Dr. Dares work is more like the old school Dentist I had who recently retired and left me in the lurch. Top grades on his work. I highly recommend Dr. Dare. Respectfully, Joe Cullen

5
Great cleaning, very thorough and clean!
5
I always appreciate the care and service provided at Dr. Dare's Dental.
5
I really appreciate the care my family's teeth receive at Dr. Dare's office. Everyone in the office is caring and considerate, and they approach dentistry with a patient-first pragmatism that I, as someone who has TERRIBLE teeth, really appreciate.
5
I’ve been coming to Dr. Dare for years! I love Dr. Dare. He is personable, patient, and kind. He never seems rushed and he always has time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. He does great dentistry work, and he has appropriately referred me out when more extensive procedures (such as needing a root canal) have been needed. What strikes me and impresses me even more is that he is NOT the kind of dentist that always “finds” cavities and things to fix every time one comes to visit. He is very conservative with his care, but he also distinguishes when additional work is really needed. Thus, I am truly able to trust his recommendations 100%! When he says work is necessary, I know it really needs to be done. Lastly, all of his staff are friendly, helpful, and pleasant to work with! He has a great team! THANK YOU, Dr. Dare and all of your staff for all of your amazing care over the years!
5
The hygienist was gentle and thorough . Dr Dare friendly and reassuring . I’m in good hands
5
I only wish we found you guys sooner!!
5
I'd give Dr Dare 10 stars if possible. He and his staff are the best! I actually look forward to going to the dentist now.
5
I had a old crown come out and Dr Dare’s office made room to see me the next day. They were very accommodating. Dr Dare made my repair very quickly. Everyone is the office is very nice and professional.
5
Everyone is professional, courteous, and friendly. What can be perceived as a less than positive experience by some (attending a Dental appointment), will assuredly be transformed into a surprisingly rewarding and informative visit. I give Dr. Dare and his staff my highest recommendation. Lisa, the Dental Hygenist, went above and beyond normal duties during my last appointment. They have created a truly "family" atmosphere at their office. In an era in which customer service is declining, this practice has and will exceed the normal expectations of any client.
5
My last visit was great just like the last one before it, the dentistry has been passed down into great hands. Dr Dare and his staff is awesome!!
5
Professional and thorough.
5
It was great to come in for my dental check up and get my teeth cleaned. Dr Dare’s office was safe and had made COVID protocols so I felt reassured.
5
One of the best cleanings that I have had. The hygienist was on time, gentle and ensured that I was comfortable at all times. Dr. Allen is very attentive and understands and communicates what I need.
5
Very good Dentist!
5
Wonderful staff, great dentist, felt like I was getting knowledgeable and sensitive care. I am a big fan!
5
I’m a new patient - my dentist of 30+ years retired - and visited Dr. Dare’s practice for the first time this week. Setting the appointment and the pre-visit paperwork were very easy, they accepted my insurance so no issues with claims forms, reimbursement, etc. The practice is 100% COVID safe - double masks and shields on all the people who saw me, everything wiped down after it was touched. Lisa - my hygienist - and Dr. Dare we’re friendly, professional and answered all my questions. My teeth are clean and feel great. Very gentle and thorough. I 100% recommend this practice and am glad my wife recommended Dr. Dare.
5
Great experience had teeth cleaned examined x-rayed In-N-Out real quick no problem we'll have another procedure next month will see you again

The staff is very friendly, and I was seen in a timely manner.
5
My gums feel sore right now but I think Heika did a very thorough job and she also explained details about why they don’t use polishers as well as how she was proceeding with my cleaning. I also appreciate that doctor Dare talked to me about my previous cleaning which I was not entirely pleased about.
5
Dr Dare and staff are great. Friendly, patient and explains options available when working on my teeth. Thank you for the great dental service you provide.

I had a great experience with Dr. Dare. His skilI was excellent and afterward, I joked with him that My experience was easier than going to a dentist. We laughed. Dr. Dare is a great dentist and and an Exceptional person. Additionally, his staff is easy to work with and they are quite pleasant. His dental assistant was outstanding in the wat. She worked with Dr Dare. I could not have been treated with greater kindness. Wes

We really enjoy Dr. Dare and his team. It’s important for my kids to feel comfortable at the dentist and they’ve never been afraid or scared coming here.
5
I had a great experience during my cleaning. All safety measures were prioritized such as masks, 6ft distancing, and temperature checks.

I had my teeth cleaned and appreciated all the sanitary measures - the extra ventilation, the disinfecting of the dental chair and the complete surroundings after each patient, the mask replacement after each patient, etc. I felt safe throughout my experience there. The dental hygienist was, as usual, very thorough doing the entire cleaning by hand to greatly reduce aerosol dispersion. I had a full set of xrays as well and Dr. Adair was able to address a potentially long term problem immediately. It was a very good visit.
5
Professional, pain free.
5
Good service.
5
Dr. Was not there this time, but he usually is. He and his staff are always friendly, and helpful, and did the work conscientiously.
5
Office was spotless. Covid protocol, including taking my temperature, was conducted. I was seen on time for my cleaning appt. the hygienist had consulted with Dr D prior to my arrival and knew what hot spots to check. Dr Dare always appears to have time for each patient. My questions were answered. Re check in 6 months. Dr D is a worthy successor to Dr Hui. Highly recommended
5
Great dentist. Great staff. I've been coming here for years.
5
Dr. Dare and hygienist, Haika (sp.) are very professional and provided an excellent teeth cleaning experience while navigating the limitations due to the pandemic. The staff wore PPE and masks and created a process from check-in through the cleaning feel very safe. Thank you for the continued great service!
5
Dr Dare and his staff are efficient, thorough, professional, and very kind.
5
I’ve been seeing Heike for over 20 years. She is familiar with my challenging oral makeup and has always known when to be careful and how to give me the best cleaning possible. She is quintessential professional.
5
Wonderful, as always. The office is clean, safe, and courteous.
5
Pleasant visit technician was very knowledgeable about her job she answered most of my questions about dental hygiene did a good job cleaning my teeth thank you
5
Great! Dr. Dare and his staff are friendly and do good work.
5
Dr Dare’s practice/office (formerly Dr Norman Hui’s) is always friendly and efficient..
5
Excellent service, as always. Dr. Dare and his staff are careful professionals delivering a high quality of care. I never feel rushed or forced into a treatment as they take time to answer questions and address concerns that I might have. The office is efficient at dealing with claims and insurance. The remainders texted a couple of days and a couple of hours before appointments are especially helpful. I rank them top of all the dental care that I have received over the past ten years.
5
Dr. Dare and his team are great. I had a crown replacement and when the replacement didn't fit exactly right, they made a new cast and fast tracked a new one and then scheduled an evening appointment after hours at my convenience. I felt assured that they cared enough to get it exactly right and were so accommodating. I can't recommend Dr. Dare enough.
5
It is always a good experience, all of your staff..The Hygienist, Deneen (sp?) was the best one I havve ever had.
5
The hours are now accommodating for the working people like me (Tue-Sat), however Saturday is a very popular option so it’s hard to get an appointment on that day of the week. When I call the office with my questions or concerns to the doctor, I get an answer back either by phone call or email from the doctor. Very responsive. Thank you.
