Highly skilled, top quality service. I've seen lots of dentists and hygienists in my 82 years; still have all my own teeth, and Dr. Vanzina and hygienist Aleida are the best.

I've been coming here for 15 years. Very nice people and I've always got detailed & thorough dental hygiene services. Dr Kono gives very good advice how to prevent issues instead of selling add on services.

I have been a patient at the PA Dental group most of my life (since age 7 or 9). I have had very efficient dentist, and the dental staff - always friendly, helpful, and very positive. My pattern changed - in 1994 = moved to Santa Rosa for 3 1/2 years. I still drove down to the bay area (stayed with a friend) and WENT TO THE P A DENTAL GROUP FOR my appointment. I highly recommend this dental group to my friends. I am a very happy patient. :)

Great staff! Love my dentist Dr Bahl! She's very easy to talk to and takes her time. I like the fact that I never have to wait more than 5 minutes upon my appointment time slot to be seen. Highly recommended!

I have been with Palo Alto Dental Group for 25 years. all these years I had the same Doctor: Dr. Robert Iverson, the same Hygiene specialist, Maria, and !!! the same receptionist, Terrie, who knows all the patients by name. The place really feels like "Home to come back to". And I hope I do not have to change the place, the Doctor, and Hygiene specialist for another 25 years. That should say how Satisfied I am with Palo Alto Dental Group.

The place looks very clean. But on another subject, I wish they took the suggested X Rays prior seeing the dentist, so the professional could have a better diagnosis of the teeth situation before seeing you, instead of asking you to have that done when you're leaving the office after you saw the dentist. It doesn't make sense to me having X Rays done when you've seen the dentist already and he won't look at those x rays until your next appointment six months later where clearly the teeth situation could have changed, especially on a child.
