I got a molar implant in November of 2017 from Dr. Epstein. At the time, I found the office to be a bit odd, but the implant was good. A month ago, my implant started wobbling. I got an emergency visit right away with my regular dentist as Epstein is closed on Fridays. My Dentist said that the post was fine , the tooth was loose. I wanted to have Dr. Epstein fix it, and my Dentist did too. I called a couple of times the following week and finally got an appointment for the following week 7 -8 days later. Dr. Epstein was clearly very irritated with me as they had suggested to me to have my Dentist fix the implant he did. He was rough with me, and when the tooth went back on after screwing the post back down, he proceeded to grind the tooth down. I'm thinking to myself, what the heck is he grinding my tooth for ? Before I left, he made sure to tell me that my bite was because of the lack of orthandonic work , that I chewed like a cow, which caused the screw to loosen. Great manners Dr E. ! I got a sore throat from the tooth dust. On top of all that ,they charged me $461.00 for maybe 30 minutes. . I will not go back there again. Beware !

This piece of S Will lie and tell you that you have cavities when you don't. I have two other friends that went here and had problems with their dental work. He's a hustler.

To be totally up front, I had the pleasure of working along side Dr. Epstein for 6 years as his assistant and front office employee. I no Longer work in dentistry after developing an illness. I needed emergency treatment on a molar , my crown was loose, this tooth has been through the ringer and I knew it would need to be extracted, needless to say it was an infected mess and I knew I could trust Dr. Epstein to take the best care of me. Her researched my illness, spoke with my doctors and plans made. Then the infection started in the gum, they got me in the next day. Absolutely no discomfort at all durning the procedure, frankly I slept through most of it! I left with the infection dealt with, the tooth gone, a bone graft and implant in place now the healing process begins. If you need an Implant, full mouth reconstruction, extractions....what ever...I would not Hesitate to send my family or friends to Dr. Epstein, his knowledge and education and experience with all things dental, especially dental implants he cannot be beat!

I smile a lot more since Dr Epstein restored my teeth some years ago. Since then he's always been there when I needed him to get me through various dental events the years brought. Now I feel as if he and his wonderful staff are family because that's the way they treat me. I actually enjoy going to the dentist!

I've been seeing Dr. David Epstein for over 10 years and he is the only Dentist I trust with my mouth. He is extremely thourough and pays close attention to detail. Everything in the office is state of art from his sharp technology to his staff. He goes over the X-Rays in detail. More importantly,, his gentle approach. Today's visit Was an emergency extraction of a wisdom tooth that was infected. Dr. Epstein and his staff got me in immediately and I could not be more happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend Dr. Epstein to anyone and I live in San Francisco which is still faster than going downtown! Thank you Doc!

Dr. Epstein has been my primary Dental expert for over 3 years. He has performed two implants of which I've been very satisfied. He always makes sure that you are not in pain, and if you are he takes care of it. Thank you Dr. Epstein for your expertise.

I have been a patient since 2001. I never liked going to the dentist until I met Dr. Epstein. He always makes sure to go above and beyond for making his patients comfortable. It is important to me that he has state of the art technology and he always spends time educating me! It sure says a lot that my whole family as well as extended family are all patients of his. I highly recommend his office - clean, friendly and passionate about what they do.

I've been going to Dr. Epstein since he opened his office in Novato, CA. His staff is courteous and professional. His work is flawless. He takes extra care to ensure a pain free experience. He has never been late in the 20 or so years I have seen him. He also makes emergency calls on weekends and holidays. I give Dr. Epstein my highest rating.
