I have been going to Dr. Snow's office for ~25 years (since I was a kid!) and can't imagine going anywhere else. Dr. Snow always explains what he is looking at and is super transparent and straightforward. Bertha and Sherry are both amazing ...

The Snow Dental team consistently exceeds expectations. Their professionalism, extraordinary technical competence, and personal engagement form a rare combination. They are the gold standard and benchmark for what medical and dental care should be. How I wish I could clone them!

Until I moved to Danville and Dr. Snow's dental practice 25 years ago I had suffered from extreme anxiety around my dental care. I had not been educated by my previous dentists and by the time I arrived at his practice the issues brought about by 40 bad years of poor care and poor oral hygiene were presenting serious problems. Over the years Dr. Snow and I, along with Bertha and Sherry, have confronted my issues, some of whose solutions took over a year to resolve. But after working with his practice for about 5 years I noticed I no longer lost sleep the night before an appointment or had anxiety going there, even when there was extensive work to be done that day. Dr. Snow is so skilled in both the technical solutions he offers and the way he is attentive to how I am doing, personally, throughout the procedures. He combines being fun and compassionate with being state-of-the art with dental solutions. Both my kids grew up in his practice and my daughter now commutes from Marin for her dental work because the care at Dr. Snow's practice is exceptional and worth the drive!

I have no Idea how a Dentists office that you completely trust and have had relationship with for Decades Just keeps getting better. Dr Snow is in a class by himself. Sherry is the cornerstone, through her grace and skill continually amazes me. The high point this time was Bertha the Hygienists from heaven. Getting my teeth cleaned is my least favorite, and most anxiety laden thing I do in my opinion. Bertha makes it somehow pleasurable, calming and almost painless. Her continual Education each and every cleaning has impacted me, and induced some Behavioral Modification on my part, (using a water pick) and their box of magical stuff. It's working and Snow Dental is the best. Thank you! Mike MacDonald

Dr. Snow always explains what he is looking at and is super transparent and straightforward. Bertha and Sherry are both amazing and always make me feel so welcome and taken care of! The bad news / good news is that I only get to see them every 6 months. I have since moved out of the immediate area, but I still drive from Marin like clockwork, as the practice provides such exceptional care! Thanks, team! :)

Snow Dental Care truly is "The Art of Dentistry." Every detail matters to this professional office. Patients are treated with such kindness and sincere interest. Dr Snow is expert, dedicated, conscientious, and artistic about the patient needs for healthy teeth and gums, a proper bite, and the look of teeth and smile. I had extensive work done over several months. The outcome has been perfect for me. In addition, the routine cleanings and checkups are thorough. The team includes Sherry and Bertha who are each excellent in their own right. This is the best dental experience ever for me. I'm very thankful.

Dr Snow and his amazing staff are about about attention to detail, comfort, professionalism and the "smile factor". I am always welcomed into his office as though I were entering his home - friendly and happy to see me. I recently had a 2.5-hour appointment for a cracked tooth. From the gentle Novocaine injections to patiently waiting until I was completely numb. I was comfortable throughout the appointment and never felt any anxiety, pain or discomfort. His wife, also a dentist, assisted and was awesome - as Shari was out of the office on family leave. Bertha is a wonderful hygienist and I love having my teeth cleaned 3x/year. We feel very fortunate to have such amazing dental care in our area. Highly recommend!!!
