I concur with a previous reviewer. While Dr Ross Stangeland and his team are pleasant, nice, and wonderful; their billing practices may not be, unfortunately. I called in and clearly explained that I had some numbness in the upper front left quadrant of my mouth (approximately 6 teeth) and asked if x-rays could be taken to see what was happening. Gloria very clearly explained their process and that the visit and the x-rays would cost $100.

When I arrived the assistant came in and mentioned that she needed to take 3 x-rays covering the left front tooth and the immediate teeth behind it on the left. I clearly stated that I had been quoted a price and to verify with Gloria that I was covered. She returned saying they had worked it out. After my appointment, Gloria charged $150 to my credit card, and when I challenged the amount she advised that it was because I need 3 x-rays instead of 1.

This made no sense. I very clearly articulated the exact number of teeth that were numb on the original phone call and was quoted a price based on that discussion. I was not only disappointed but annoyed at the very kind dismissal of my concerns by Gloria and determined not to return to this practice. If a very simple procedure such as this will trigger a 50% increase in actual costs what exactly will happen with more aggressive dental work and its related pricing?

Why not simply charge what you quoted? I prefer clear pricing and upfront costs that are fair without any excessive changes after the fact. Because of this, I would not return here.

While Dr Ross Stangeland and hygienist Marissa are pleasant, nice and wonderful; their billing practices may not be, unfortunately. I was given an oral medication along with other regular freebies; such as small sizes of dental floss and toothpastes during my regular dental cleanings. I was really SURPRISED to see a bill of the oral medication later despite I was given a note indicating they're free.

This practice seems questionable and unethical! Additionally, I also did notice several other discrepancies between my pre dental estimates and actual charges to my insurance company. Sincerely hope and wish Dr. Ross will take his personal initiatives assuring this will not happen again in his practices. Please check your bills and their charges to your insurance company carefully, thank you!

I had such a pleasant experience with Dr. Stangeland and all of his staff. I was warmly greeted by Ms. Gloria who was such a breath of fresh air and pleasure to talk to. She made scheduling and payment so simple. I then met Dr. Stangeland and Ms. Sonia who were both very gentle, thorough, and efficient throughout my appointment. I'll no longer dread going to the dentist now that I've found their office.

I was so nervous to go to the dentist for the first time in two years but this was such a pleasant experience. I felt so comfortable and cared for by everyone in the office. Dr. Stangeland is great at what he does!

I have been going to Dr. Stangeland for years and haven't been disappointed. When I once had to go to a different dentist, the other Dentist was impressed with Dr. Stangeland's crowns. Dr. Stangeland is also good with giving painless numbing shots - one thing I am quite sensitive about. He explains well and he is staff is very friendly. I definitely would recommend Dr. Stangeland highly.

Dr Stangeland is the most gentle dentist. I never feel the shots and he has done a lot of dental work on me! He explains everything so I under what's going on. His staff is very professional and nice. He's a great dentist and so is his staff!

I was a bit concerned about visiting a dentist during these COVID times. However my concerns were misplaced. Dr Stangeland has all the safety protocols in place. The procedure went smoothly. I would recommend people continuing with their dental appointments.

This was my first ever visit to this dental office and I am simply amazed at the level of care and professionalism that this staff provudes to every person that walks into the office. I had a very severe issue with a tooth and they very accomodating towards my appointment and the doctor provided a step by step description of what he was doing. Best experience I have ever had.

Also the care they are taking to follow the very strict guidelines during these pandemic times goes beyond and makes one feel very secure. I am sure to become a new regular patient here.

All the rave reviews on here are true about Dr. Stangeland's wonderful office, Gloria and staff. However, I would like to focus my review on the fact that I came to Dr. Stangeland with a severe dental phobia which had prevented me from seeing a dentist for over 6 years. I interviewed, in person, all the dentists in this area, including all the ones who claim to be experts when dealing with dental phobia. Dr. Stangeland was the only Dentist who listened to me and with whom I felt at ease.

He is patient, empathic and brings a sense of lightness for an anxious patient. With great kindness and compassion, his office gently guided me through: a cavity, a root canal and a crown. If you are someone who avoids (to put it mildly) the dentist, then Dr. Stangeland's is the only office in town worth going to. He and his team are magical and amazing.

I am a new patient at Dr. Stangeland's practice. I have only been in for two appointments but the entire team there has been extremely warm, welcoming and very professional. Extraordinarily flexible w/ appointment times! You don't have to wait weeks to get in! Dr. Stangeland has a very authentic bed side manor and has assured me the services I have gone in for won't be complete until I, the patient, is satisfied. This is incredibly refreshing and reassuring! I would highly recommend this practice to anyone!

Ross is such a great dentist and super honest! I first visited him about 4 or 5 years ago after seeing a new dentist who claimed I needed 2 fillings a bunch of other work costing about $3500. My husband recommended I get a second opinion so I made an appointment with Dr Stangeland. He looked at my teeth and did not find ONE cavity or a need for any other procedure! 5 years later and STILL no cavities or any extra treatments aside from regular check-ups. Also, his office staff is professional, understanding, thoughtful and friendly.

The hygienists are so into their work! They all know and love what they do. Going to this office is actually stress-free and a pleasure. I never thought I'd feel this way about a dentist's office, lol!

Dr. Stangeland has been our family's dentist for a few years. I couldn't imagine a better doctor - real pride of being his patient. Everyone on his Team starting with super-helpful Gloria who warmly greets you with a little gift at the reception and keeps working diligently for you with insurance, sharp-eyed Marisa who does teeth cleaning, kind and supportive Sonia, and result-oriented innovative Dr. Ross Stangeland himself makes any visit a pleasure (to what extend a dentist visit could be a pleasure;).

For this amazing Team that Dr. Ross has built over years, humanness, passion, and willingness to go an extra mile is of top priority. I am very thankful to Dr. Stangeland and happy to recommend him to anyone.

I loved my experience with Dr. Stangeland and his awesome staff (especially Gloria and Marissa!). Everyone was simultaneously warm, kind, and professional. I was brushing way too hard on a couple of teeth and actually putting myself at risk of long term damage, and although I've been to the dentist regularly all my life no one ever explained in-depth the fine details of exactly what is going on when you brush and exactly how to maximize your efforts.

I know we all think we know that, but Marissa (the hygienist) enlightened me a lot! I'm all for prevention versus intervention when possible, and as I leave I'm feeling relaxed (who knew you could leave a dental office feeling relaxed?) and positive about my ability to make sure I continue to have a great smile for years to come. This is a great place!

I'm soooo happy I found Dr. Stangeland's office! I had my first appointment today, and my visit was surprisingly enjoyable. Who would have thought. The front staff greeted me immediately. They had a personalized welcome card with a water bottle set at the front desk waiting for me along with my on-boarding paperwork. It was just so seamless and welcoming. Gloria, who had scheduled my appointment the day before, immediately recognized me and greeted me, as I was handing in my paperwork at the front desk. Dr. Ghowsi did my comprehensive dental exam and cleaning, and I'm just so wowed.

The cleaning was painless, effortless. He was attentive, educational and very easy to talk to. I could tell he took the extra time to be meticulous and careful to ensure he wouldn't cause any pain. I'm super pleased about my experience and have already scheduled my next appointment and cleaning here. I'm definitely going to be recommending this office within my network.

I usually don't write reviews but decided that it was high time that give Dr. Stangeland the recognition that he and his staff deserve. My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Stangleland for over 20 years. He and his staff are wonderful. The practice is well organized, efficient and welcoming. Gloria is the sweetest! She greets you the moment you walk in the door and makes you feel at home. Dr. Stangeland is a great Dentist.

He possesses a rare combination of skills, knowledge and genuine interested in his patients. He is personable and caring and it's clear that he loves his work. His practice offers everything from routine dental work to cosmetic restoration procedures. Even though Dr. Stangeland offers an extensive range of services, you never feel pressured or pushed into them.

He also gives you an honest opinion of what he believes are the best options for you by taking into consideration the best possible outcome and cost. He truly has your best interest at heart. I cannot speak highly enough about Dr Stangeland and his practice. If you are looking for an outstanding Dentist with fantastic staff, I highly recommend Dr. Stangeland.

I love going to the dentist but what I love more is going to a place that is so warm, welcoming and so detail oriented. I spoke to Gloria first over the phone and she sounded so cheerful which nowadays is hard to find. I was able to get in the very next day. As I walk in there is an adorable purple roll up blanket and a card with my name on it. My cleaning was super comfortable and my dentist was awesome, funny and attentive to my needs. They go above and beyond to make you feel taken care of. Most definitely recommend this place and will be returning.

Dr Stangeland has been my dentist since approximately the early 1990's. I very much respect him as my dentist. He is personable, he is most skillful in his professional; and I trust him immensely in taking care of my teeth. I feel that he is tops! I would recommend him to anyone who's looking for a great dentist that they can depend on to do quality service. He's the best!

I take my dental care seriously and until I started seeing Dr Strangeland, I can say I wasn't super impressed with previous dentists. This practice is as good as it gets when it come to quality, professionalism, and follow up. I've had several procedures done including: major deep cleans, getting several of my teeth fixed up, as well as my regular check ups and cleanings.

The results from all the work I've gotten here is top notch. Dr Strangeland's whole team are the best and make you feel welcome and most of all cared for. My teeth are currently in the best shape they have been cause for once I'm actualy listening to the advice I'm given by them as well as my mother. Mom always said, " Your teeth are important and you must take care of them". I've always been somewhat hestiant to invest in my dental health, but I really can't complain because as of now, my teeth are in solid shape.

I had a bad experience at another dental clinic in the city so I reached out to a friend to get their recommendation on dentist. They recommended Dr. Strangeland's office which was a bit out of the way for me as I had to take Muni to get to the CalTrain and then a Lyft to get to the office but I feel the elongated trip was well worth it. Upon arrival I was greeted in a friendly manner and had a welcome card addressed to me waiting with a water bottle.

The receptionist, Gloria, was extremely friendly and the dentist and dental assistants were also friendly. They actually took the time to get to know me personally and not in a small talk manner. They squared up with me and asked questions about my life, where I was from, personal interest and more. Then when the next person walked in the room they would repeat these things when introducing me to them. Based on some of the more common customer service experiences of "give me your money and get out of here" or "I'll read a greeting script that I'm required to say but don't really mean what I'm saying" Ross Strangeland's office was a refreshing change.

After the visit I found that my dental insurance didn't cover X-rays once a year but it instead it covered X-rays every 12 months so because I went in December of 2017, they didn't cover April of 2018. Dr. Strangeland's office waived the charge indicating the amount wasn't a big deal and they like to take their own X-rays rather than rely on other dentist work who may/may-not have gotten things right. For me this was truly a great experience and even with the commute I'll be going back when my next cleaning is due.

I had a very warm welcome by Gloria, and she even took a great care of my 3 year-old daughter. I came here for a checkup and few concerns for my teeth. The staffs were super nice as well as Dr. Ross. He listened to my worries and concerns and suggested my options further on. Will be definitely revisiting and will highly recommend to those who are seeking a dentist! They treat you as part of their family:))

Dr. Stangeland and team are by far the best dentist practice I have visited. I moved over from the UK and as Brit wasn't looking forward to the visit but Dr Strangeland and Gloria always make me feel welcome and at ease.

Dr. Stangeland and his staff are excellent. I have extreme dentist phobia and had some unpleasant procedures last week and the entire staff made the molar extraction and 2 crowns a piece of cake. Did not think it was possible to be as relaxed while having dentistry work done but it's all about the staff. A lot of places pull out all the bells and whistles trying to make it a spa experience when what you really need are people that put you at ease both by their demeanor and knowledge. THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!

Dr. Stangeland is a wonderful dentist and all the other staff are fantastic too. Everybody is very friendly, professional, and enthusiastic about their work. All appointments are kept on-time and the quality of work is first-rate. It's a great place to go if you need specific types of dental work or just general preventative check-ups. I highly recommend this dental office!

Dr. Stangeland's office has given me a WOW experience! I'm a new patient and had my first general dental cleaning and deep cleaning here. The entire team are very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I enjoyed the family-like atmosphere and never felt lost. On arrival, I saw a card with my name on it and was immediately greeted by Gloria's smiling face.

She guided me through the check-in process and even provided me with an umbrella for the unexpected, heavy rain. For following appointments, she always reminded me a day before and recognized me when I walked in. The hygienist, Marrisa, is really considerate and thorough. I didn't have my teeth cleaned regularly; hence, it took much more time and efforts in the scaling and root planning. Marrisa kindly reassigned her next patient and didn't rush through the treatment.

In addition, she advised me to listen to music to calm my nerves and kept checking on me to ensure I don't experience any pain. My gums are no longer bleeding after the treatment! Dr. Ross spent time getting to know me and reviewing every tooth on x-rays. He explained my oral health status and how to improve it. He's very professional, attentive, and non-judgmental. I'm so glad to find this place!

I am so glad I found Dr. Stangeland's office. I am a new patient and I felt I was sincerely welcomed by the staff. I had a dental cleaning and check up and here's what I am most impressed with: 1) Upon arrival, the staff immediately knew who I was. I was greeted promptly and presented with a new patient gift 2) The hygienist Jan was extremely thorough and professional.

She really worked hard to clean my teeth as I hadn't had a cleaning in years 3) Dr. Stangeland took his time and carefully evaluated each tooth on my xrays. He explained things other dentists hadn't thought to tell me previously. He did not rush through his exam, addressed all my questions and I felt he was extremely attentive 4) I really felt like they took their time to get to know me as a new patient to understand my preferences and concerns 5) Location and parking is easy peasy I am very happy with my experience as a new patient at Dr. Stangeland's office!

Dr. Stangeland and his entire staff are awesome! Dr. S. really knows his stuff. And he's so conscientious about pain management. No one likes dental work, but if you need a filling or crown he is extremely careful to make sure you are sufficiently numb before beginning the work. Pain free every time. Janice is a great hygienist! I was having issues with my gums and she educated me and kept giving me tips and tricks until we finally got my gums and "pockets" under control.

She is helpful without being judgmental. Gloria at the front desk is so friendly and professional. She is on top of appointments and billing. She's great about letting you know if there are cancellations if you want to be seen sooner and if you have an emergency they will always get you in. Everyone is super friendly and top notch!

Dr Stangeland and his perfect staff of thoughtful, thorough professionals are unbeatable. The office is clean, bright, and airy. nicely decorated and coordinated. They offer a variety of comforts for your visit and always go above / beyond in making you experience as enjoyable as possible. We were referred by three peers who all sang the office's praise.

No need to say, my significant other and I were not disappointed as we've never received the level of detailed care from others in the past. All the doctors are total professionals, amicable, skilled, and super pleasant. feels like you're visiting a spa. Gloria, the office manager, is the heart and pulse of the operations. Not only is she an amazing person, she managed to save nearly $1,000 off my service due to her partnership and patience in working with my insurance provider.

I held off on this procedure for almost a decade and am so glad to finally land in Gloria and Dr Stangeland's great hands once performed. I cannot be happier! Thank you, all. we are truly happy to be part of your loyal clientele.
