I feel especially honored when I work with a fearful and reticent patient, one who comes in for his or her first procedure and requests sedation, and then learns that I practice only painless dentistry. The person begins to trust me, and then tells me sedation is no longer necessary. That level of trust only comes as a result of a connection between the patient and me.
I believe I owe it to my patients to provide them with proven, leading-edge treatment options and procedures, along with the latest technologies, that lead to better outcomes in a shorter amount of time. As a result of that commitment, I regularly attend oral healthcare-related conferences, meetings, lectures, and seminars. I continue to study developments in sedation dentistry because I know that is of benefit to so many people we treat.
I am a San Francisco native and currently live in San Carlos with my wife Donna and our twin children, Scott and Stephanie. Our household is rounded out by a black lab named Mollie and a long-haired Chihuahua named Audrey. During my time away from the office, if Im not attending our childrens various activities, you will often find me camping, hunting, fishing, hiking, and motorcycle riding. I love to travel and family time is essential to me.
Im a member of the California Waterfowl Association and have been involved in the Wood Duck Program for a decade and a half. Through that program, volunteers provide and monitor wood duck boxes that serve as nesting sites for the waterfowl in the Sacramento Valley.

I've always had a great experience with this dentist. I've gone here for over 5 years now. I am disappointed with my last experience. I went in for a routine cleaning. Then when I go to check out, they charged me for a more expensive tether cleaning, that wasn't fully covered by my insurance. I don't understand how they can charge more for a service without telling their patient prior to doing the service. I probably won't be going back here again.

I've avoided going to the dentist for an very long time because I didnt like the one I had been using. My wife suggested I try hers, Montague Dental Excellence, reluctantly I went. I'm so happy I tried them out. Everyone is very nice, they are surprisingly fast and do a great job. I recommend them to everyone, I'm trying to get my parents to switch too.

Very friendly staff and doctors, always a good experience for my annual cleaning/checkup with Dr.Kolnes. (go bears) I'm glad the practice is open until 6 or 7pm since that allows me to go without disrupting my work day.

The service and interaction with staff is welcoming. The dread one often feels about going to the dentist quickly disappears the moment you engage with the front office. I was made to feel comfortable and felt fully informed about my options when making dental decisions.

Very impressed with the approach and professionalism of this business. They have a plan and explained everything to me. I know and feel comfortable that when it's all done I'm working with the best people, I could possibly be working with. Amen

My experience here is always fun! We laugh, and talk about family and things of importance while taking care of business. The professionalism is set from the moment you walk in and it extends to everyone in the office! I also have two recommendations as well.

I have been going to see Dr. Kolnes since I moved back to the Bay Area and am perfectly with the care I receive. Now that my wife is also on my insurance, she also goes to this clinic. They are close by, easy to schedule with, give excellent care, and are predictable with their appt times. What else could you ask for?

Zero stars. The doctor did not introduce himself(Neither did he explain the X-rays until I told him I am not interested in his treatment plan -deep cleaning). The staff and doctor are biased and unprofessional. From their website, the Dentist name seems to be Khoury to me. I won't recommend this Dental Office to anyone.
