He completed a general practice hospital-based residency at Mount Zion Medical Center and remained on the hospital dental and training staff while also practicing restorative dentistry in San Francisco. He received his periodontal training at the University of Washington in Seattle.
He is an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California San Francisco School of Dentistry, Division of Graduate Prosthodontics and has taught continuing dental education at both UCSF and the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry.

Dr. Pasquinelli took the time to explain everything in detail. I did round one of the gum grafting and now back for the second side. After my surgery, he personally called to check on me. That is what I call service!

Dr Pasquinelli is one of the best if not "the best" periodontist I have ever met in my life. His technical expertise together with his bed manner make him the most recommended. We have treated my daughter for several complex surgeries and he has always delivered the best treatment with optimal outcomes. I would recommend not only him but his whole office staff. Go Melissa and Ricky! Thank you!

Dr. Pasquinelli and everyone working in his office are excellent. In particular, Natalie is exceptional at deep cleaning. She's meticulous and gentle--both traits are hard to find.

I have be going to SF Perio for about 4 years now. I've had surgery (bone grafts and gum grafts) as well as deep cleaning as well as now quarterly cleaning. I feel that Dr. Pasquinelli, the hygienists, billing folks and front desk staff have always treated me with the greatest care and respect. They are experienced and true experts in their field, and I always leave feeling I've had the best treatment possible. Going to the dentist and, in particular, the periodontist, can be a challenging and difficult experience simply due to the work that needs to be done. However, I feel that Dr. Pasquinelli and team make it as absolutely positive as possible, and truly caring and compassionate. I highly recommend them.

Update - 6/13/22 - came in today for a ck-up about a year after Dr. Pasquinelli put in my implant and things are feeling/looking good! Dr. P said he won't need to see me again until/if my regular dentist spots anything and suggest I go back to Dr. P to check. Everyone, from front desk to the dental assistant, are again/consistently welcoming and professional. I greatly appreciate that Dr. P took time to thoroughly check not only the implant tooth, but also the adjacent teeth, and gum areas. Although I had a cleaning with my regular dentist about 4 months ago, Dr. P saw a fair amount of stain on the teeth near my implant and gave me a terrific cleaning using a more advance machine/method that basically made all the stain disappear (I wish my regular dentist would use this method/machine)! It's great that staff also took time to go over proper brushing and flossing techniques with me for optimal cleaning and minimizing staining. I'm grateful and happy to have had Dr. P do not only my 1st implant over 20yrs ago, but my second. Update 6/14/21 - final check today by Dr. Pasquinelli after the implant crown was placed by my regular dentist last week. Dr. P said things are looking good and he'll see me again in a year to see how the gum is doing in one area. Really happy I stayed with this office for another implant, and really appreciate Dr. P's sincere care for the best possible outcome for my case. THANK YOU! Prior review below - Dr. Pasquinelli did an amazing job for my 1st implant (front tooth) about 20yrs ago and it exceeded its expected lifespan. Since then, his office has grown but the same quality of service and attention to details remain. More recently, Dr. P helped me with an implant again, and although it was a challenging case because I had insufficient bone in the area, he did all he could to ensure an outcome I've very happy with. I remember years ago when I first met Dr. P, you never saw implant commercials on TV, but now they pop up frequently and often promise amazing work at suspiciously low prices. It's my health & ability to smile with confidence, so I rather avoid the low cost leaders and go with an experienced professional who has been doing this long before it became a fad on TV. 100% recommend this dental office!

Dr. Pasquinelli is a true professional who always prioritizes patient experience. I am always impressed with his thoughtfulness and how well he communicates with us. Dr. Pasquinelli is of high integrity and we come from the East Bay because he's the best in the business. My son's treatment has gone well and we would strongly recommend this office for your service.

I am very impressed with Dr. Olivares and Wendy, the hygienist. However, it's very disappointing when you can't schedule your next cleaning appointment 3 months out. And the front desk forgot to give me a follow up appointment after spending 2K for Root planing. Not sure what my next step will be.

Good cleaning with state-of-the-art tech. Friendly, empathetic, and knowledgeable staff. Mild miscommunication on the treatment plan and was a bit surprised not to have at least a cursory exam after the cleaning.

Everything about this practice is excellent -- from making appointments to office staff to Dr. Pasquinelli. They are all thorough, calm and considerate. I appreciate how completely Dr Pasquinelli explained conditions and how we arrived at a course of treatment. I highly recommend this practice
