Dr. Barthman eases your dental worries and stress by offering a very calming and relaxing atmosphere to her patients. Her years of experience and amazing staff are so helpful and make your appointments so comfortable. I highly recommend this dental office! It's like a spa!

I found this establishment through 1800dentist.com. My dad was in a lot of pain, and this office was the one that came highly recommended. Only has Dr. Barthman helped with giving my dad relief, their office has been amazing with follow-ups and reminders. Allison, who takes care of the front office, is compassionate and was willing to work with my dad regarding treatment. This is an amazing team with only the patient's best health in mind.

Switched from Western Dental which was a clown fiesta, and this practice was a much more personal, well-tailored, and high quality experience. Would highly recommend for those who are looking for a new dentist and don't want to go to the big box dentists.

Dr. Barthman and her staff were an answer to prayer and a frustrating search. After another website, and renowned dental agency, did not pull through, Dr. Barthman's office came highly recommended through 1800Dentist. My Pops was in a lot of pain, and through several procedures on his teeth, she is slowly bringing him that healing. Aside from her, Allison, her office assistant (and all around genius) has been super helpful with appointments, payments, as well as being considerate and very compassionate throughout the whole experience. I highly recommend this practice as a place to find high quality of care, comfort and peace of mind.

Dr Barthman is the best dentist I've ever been to + the staff is exceptional. I'm a "reluctant " dental patient, mostly from bad experiences as a child. This is first dental office I've left feeling relaxed - no tensing of my neck and no fingernail imprints in the arm rest. I love the hot towel at the end. Thank you Dr. Barthman.

This is one of the best dentist office's I've been to. The staff are super friendly and Dr. Barthman is professional and friendly as well. Even though I'm working for 3 years overseas I always make a visit to my prefered dentist in the Bay Area to get my teeth checked out.

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Barthman for over 10 years, and it has always been a pleasant experience. The employees are respectful and kind, and I always feel welcome and well cared for. Dr. Barthman and her team make going to the dentist an enjoyable experience (the spa aspect is a nice added bonus!). I can't imagine going anywhere else!

I can't recommend Dr. Barthman and her team enough! Each one of them fulfill their duties with nothing lacking. Jean, Jennifer & Alison are all very thorough, gentle, professional and treat you like family. If you're looking for a dental team to care for your personalized needs, look no further. So many special touches. appointment reminders, aromatherapy, personal lip balm, sanitized headphones to enjoy the relaxation of the television or your choice or music therapy, follow ups, and if you're especially sensitive to dental work, they care for those specific needs right on point! They truly live up to their title/category 'Dental Spa'.

I have been going to Dr. Barthman's dental spa for 20+ years. She has kept my smile beautiful over the years. The things that separate her practice from the rest: consummate efficiency of the team (if you have an appointment, you will not wait, they stay on-time), the do "fit in" emergency appointments when needed (especially if you are a regular customer), they keep up with the latest tools to improve the safety and experience (massage chairs, TVs to watch during dental procedures, digital x-ray / photo / 3-D bite capture imaging, and dental dams / aspiration tools).

For example, I had never used the "bite" based aspiration tool until yesterday when I needed a crown prep -- kept my tongue back and completely minimized "spray" during the procedure -- very comfortable compared to the prior way. However, my favorite thing is still the aromatherapy before they start -- it does make it feel like a spa.

Dr Barthman and her team really live up to the " Dental Spa" title! I am seriously dentist-phobic and she and her staff always make me feel comfortable and relaxed. I love the massage chair, the aroma therapy, the headphones with my favorite music and ( last but not least) the Nitrous Oxide! Before I found Dr Barthman, I hadn't been to a dentist in over 15 years because I was too afraid! Now I go every 6 months like a " normal " person, and I no longer have an anxiety attack over going to the dentist, not even when I needed several fillings replaced.

Dr. Barthman and her team have always been very caring, attentive, and go the full mile towards achieving the best for my teeth and overall dental health. The office is welcoming, clean, and always in tip top shape. The best dental office I've ever been a patient at! I highly recommend!

Very pleased with Dr. Jean and her staff. She is a hands-on dentist with lots of patience and aims to make your experience amazing. She offers great advice on keeping your teeth clean and I can honestly say it's the best cleaning I've ever had. I highly recommend Dr. Jean!

Extremely satisfied from the moment I walked into my appointment. The staff is patient, friendly and explain every detail! I received complementary aroma therapy, chair massage before my appointment started. I highly recommend!

I'm a fairly nervous person when it comes to going to the dentist. I love this office because it offers such great amenities. The office offers a pleasant smell of aroma therapy before we start, a blanket if you're cold, and head phones to listen to your favorite kind of music or watch cable T.V. I've never been to a dentist that was as thorough as Dr. Barthman and it's a plus that the front desk personal (Allyson) is very kind. I love how personable they are! Such a great team they have there and I would refer anyone to this office.

Dr Barthman has been my dentist for over ten years. Since I've moved several times, I've had many dentists, but I believe she is the best. She's smart, experienced, and really good at both general and cosmetic dentistry. She's a hands-on dentist with extremely capable assistants and office staff. Her equipment is state-of-the-art and she is constantly learning new and better ways to serve patients. I've had cavities filled, root canals, an implant that I'm extremely happy with, and crowns as well.

Her office is well located in downtown Redwood City with easy, free parking and close to the train station. And I love the aromatherapy, headphones, and private music and tv in the ceiling! All in all, a truly pleasant experience.

Our favorite dentist, Dr. Jean is very patient and makes you feel at home. Her staff is great and they really take great care of you. My husband and I did not even felt that we were at the dentist. I had my earphones listening to music and watching TV.

I went to Dr. Barthman's practice today and I can honestly say it was an awesome experience that went above and beyond any dental service that I have received. Key things that really stood out to me: duel monitors to watch tv (one in front of you and one on the ceiling when the chair is reclined), made sure your lips weren't chap so that they wouldn't rip while having your mouth open for long, and the chairs have a freakin message function!

What stood out most and was most important to me was being available in such a short notice. I don't expect for it to always be like that, but the fact that it was like that this time, made it even better. Just overall great service, and it was also nice to hear that I didn't have any cavities.

Dr. Barthman rocks! My jaw was out of alignment due to TMJ. I was uncomfortable and not able to eat or drink much for days. When I called her office, they got me right in. Dr. Barthman did not go the drug route, but instead gave me 2 rounds of TENs treatment (gentle electric stimulation of the muscles). It worked! Everyone in the office is great to deal with. I highly recommend.

I have been a regular dental patient and an invisalign patient for the past 12 months. I give Dr. Barthmann and her great staff a 10 out of 10. It is a beautiful office, the two dental assistants are always spot on, courteous and real pros, and Dr. Barthmann is a n outstanding dentist. She is a real hidden gem in the community. If you are looking for a small, intimate practice where everyone knows your name, and the quality of care is excellent, this would be a good choice.

I'm selecting the lowest star rating because I definitely "think not!" Dr. Barthman may be competent, however she is surley and, I believe with ulterior motives. She barks at her very kind and competent staff, and tried to get me turned onto veneers? One of her intake questions is "Do you want to keep all of your original teeth?" No, please rip them all out and put fake ones in! Eek! Methinks not. "Don't you want a Hollywood smile?

Your bi-cuspids are a little short, and with veneers, you'd really get that Hollywood smile." Did I ask you for a Hollywood smile here in Burlingame? Eek! Methinks not. The straw that broke the camel's back was when Dr. Barthman said that my teethwhitening was eligible for pre-tax spending (FSP). Now, it's MY bad that I didn't double check, but she assured me it would be covered.

I just don't like or trust this dentist. The chapstick is just that--chapstick with gross flavors. There is nothing "spa-esque" unless you consider water with cucumber slices in it "spa-esque." Good luck elsewhere!

I have been seeing Dr. Barthman for almost 18 years. She runs a tight ship -- appointments are on-time, staff is friendly and helpful, Dr. Barthman personally scales my teeth, her equipment is up to date, and I *love* the addition of the "spa" atmosphere. (I am one of her patients who was there before it was a "spa"). Over the first 10 years we crowned old mercury fillings at a rate of 1-2 per year. Now, I have fabulous white teeth all around even when I laugh loudly and you can see the inside of my teeth.

Her skill in color matching is terrific and I enjoy an amazing smile, which is good since it is the *biggest* and most noticeable feature of my face. Dr. Barthman also treats my two kids and husband. I will never forget that she asked me to bring my daughter in when she was about 3 years for her "first appointment" just to get her comfortable with the office.

She had my daughter sit in the chair, counted her teeth and gave her a prize. Two weeks later, my daughter fell and smacked a front tooth -- it loosened and began to discolor. Dr. Barthman saw her immediately and there was comfort in having had her there before the accident. It all turned out well. She is now a teenager in braces with frequent dental visits.

Twice a year, I actually look forward to my dental appointment, a little aromatherapy, clean polished teeth (I love that slick feel of my tongue running across them after they have been freshly cleaned), and the warm towel at the end. I highly recommend Dr. Barthman and her team.

Let me preface this review that the last time I got my teeth cleaned (two years ago, oops), I went to this dingy, dirty dental office and left kind of tramatized. I'll let it up to you to find this review I wrote. A friend of a friend happens to work here and word started spreading between my friends on what a nice place this is, and being that it's been so long, I made an appointment. First, they were able to get me an early morning appointment less than a week from when I called. Awesome. Second, I ran in five minutes late, stressing out, and the receptionist was sweet and understanding.

She offered me chlorophyll water (it was tasty, but made me go "huh?") and dried cranberries (it's a trap! I didn't want any cranberries in my teeth to be picked out later. :P), then sat down with me in the waiting room to go over the folder of forms and information. Niiice. Third, I like spa experiences, and the aromatherapy and headphones while cleaning were seriously appreciated.

Anything to reduce the dread and sound of hearing my teeth being scraped (eughhhh). Fourth, wow, what a thorough cleaning. The measured the depth of my gums for peridontal disease, checked for cavities in every nook and cranny, went through intensive cleaning and polishing, xrays (that pop up on the TV screen right in front of you), and then going over proper flossing and brushing techniques.

The last place I went to was very wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am and I hated it - I want to know that my teeth are clean and free of problems! Oh, and a hot towel at the end. Aweeesome. They did charge my credit card the full amount and now I have to wait for a check from my insurance to repay me, which is annoying since I have insurance so I don't have to pay large chunks of money. Sure, the credit card is kind of harmless, but interest charges are annoying, and I really don't expect my insurance to be speedy on sending me a check.

I know why the doctor office does it, and I understand, but it still sucks. Otherwise, I'm now recommending this place as my first choice for dentists on the peninsula. Gooooo. You won't regret it.

Honestly, Ive been going to Dr. Barthman most of my life. But objectionably I have been forced to go elsewhere throughout the years and have yet to experience a cleaning more enjoyable. I cannot say much for any major dental procedures, having pretty solid teeth but maybe that says more about Dr. Barthman's ability to keep your teeth, x-rays, and medical record up to date.

A few years back they started a "Dental Spa" experience involving aromatherapy, breathing and soothing music of choice. Ive tried it a couple times, but not really my thang. I'll let you decide for yourself. All and all, you cannot go wrong with giving Dr. Barthman a try. I will continue to look forward to my cleaning at this dentist as long as I can.

If you asked me 4 months ago what I thought of dentists I would have told you I would rather love a lawyer. I had a pain in my tooth like no other in December and what I do not have a dentist. Was referred to Dr. B and I must say I went in with the cold sweats of a Dead Man Walking. OK, so guess what. it was the nicest easiest and most care free dentist visit I could have dreamed of.

So now flash forward and I refer Dr. B to my friends and colleagues and see her well maybe to frequently, but need the old crunchers ready to review more restaurants. Thank you Dr. B for making me like dentists again.

After ripping off my own braces and having a few run-ins with some mean and surly dentists, I was so traumatized that I didn't see a dentist for many years. Then one day, one of my molars cracked and a chip came off of it. Do you think I went to the dentist then? Nooooo.of course not! Flash forward about four more years, and I start having these intense pains in that chipped tooth.

No matter how many over-the-counter pain killers I took with how much vodka, that pain just wouldn't go away. By this time I had developed a deep and somewhat illogical fear of the dentist. Not only was I afraid they'd tell me I need all my nasty-ass teeth pulled out and full dentures put in, but I was afraid they'd be mean and yell at me about how irresponsible I'd been.

I just can't stand people yelling and being mean to me :( Finally, I couldn't stand it any more and I found Dr Barthman's dental spa. They sounded really NICE, like people that don't yell, and I was desperate for the pain to stop. I considered knocking all my teeth out with a hammer but decided to make an appointment with Dr Barthman instead. Fortunately, I was able to get in right away, AND Dr Barthman and her assistant Kat were REALLY nice.

They do aromatherapy before your treatment (I guess that's why they call it a "spa") and give you flavored lip-balm (which is actually one of my favorite things in the whole world, it's the one luxury item I would bring with me if I were on Survivor) not like I really noticed much besides the prescription for Vicoden that particular day.

You know, you can drink a LOT more vodka if you take some Vicoden first! I mean.not that I would. Oh hell, who am I kidding? When in that much pain, I think I'd take anything to make it stop. Dr. Barthman has completely cured me of my fear of the dentist. My worst fears were never realized. I had a root canal (although she doesn't actually do those there) some cavities filled, a nasty two part "scraping and planing" cleaning, tooth whitening and even got Invisalign to finally finish off correcting my teeth from oh-so-many years ago. Oh, and she even removed that little calcification lighter colored bit from the front of my teeth that had bothered me for so long. I've been here so many times now, it's like my home away from home and I've managed to collect almost all the flavors of lip balm! It's more expensive than Bonnie Bell Lip Smackers, but man I've got me a nice set of beautiful pearly white choppers!

This is a completely different dental experience. I went here based on the yelp review. You walk in and they give you a portfolio with your forms. They give you a different scent of chapstick with every visit. You watch videos about being a new patient and brushing your teeth properly. They ask you how you feel about your teeth and a bunch of other questions. Headphones, protective glasses, you betcha.

Three stations of alternative rock. X rays are all digital and had a comfy purple cover to make it slightly less unbearable. Getting your teeth cleaned is nice, they have orange cream flavored polish. Much better than the other stuff. They also give you a hot towel at the end and an aromatherapy treatment at the beginning. So if you are nervous about being at the dentist, this place is great.

And they follow up with a sit-down consult about your dental health. The downside is that all this takes time. My first appointment was 2 hours long. The second appointment for x rays took about an hour because they had an emergency, which is not their fault. The third appt today took about an hour and that was a consultation plus records and bite molds for invisalign.

But its your health and they are conscientious and I think the time investment is worth it. Overall, the doc is nice, the techs are great, they have all the latest equipment, they are well-informed and they do everything they can to make your dental experience the best. Give it a try.

Why yes Dr. Barthman I would love some chap stick to make my lips more pliable during the exam. You want me to take my glasses off, and put on safety goggles so nothing sprays into my eyes.sounds great. Of course I would like some headphones, I think today I will listen to Jazz Classics thank you much. Aroma therapy to soothe me before you start.excellent.

Hey what's that drill doing there? Is that a blade at the end of that tool? I've been hoodwinked. Bamboozled. I didn't land on this dentist office. This dentist office landed on me! Aside from the unnecessary evils of a dentist office it is a pleasure to visit Dr. Barthman and her crew. A little icing on the cake. the last time I was there to get a crown, she called me after office hours were over that day to see how I was doing with my teefers. Top notch service.
