I have been a patient at UNO DENTAL for the last 2 years and highly recommend this office. Dr. Kandar and Anna are very thorough and I am confident in their expertise. They use state of the art dental technology in which some patients (myself included) may not be familiar with. At my 1st visit Dr. Kandar took the time to explain these advancements which made me completely comfortable with the process. Anna sends follow-up information after visits and checks up on you after procedure to make sure you are feeling well. The entire staff is exceptional.

Ever visit with her feels like you are catching up with a friend. She made a huge impact on my dental routine for the better and my teeth have never been so healthy!

i've been going to Uno for a handful of months now, and honestly...i enjoy going. The entire crew is welcoming and makes you feel at home through a stereotypically, "uncomfortable" visit. anna is amazing and takes a really friendly, hands-on approach to the treatment. if you're looking for a hidden gem for dental treatment in san francisco, give this place a try

The UNO Dental team caters to my dental needs with talent and precision. They're efficient, kind, thoughtful in treatment as well as follow up. If you're looking for a new dentist you can stop looking now. You've found the place. This is by far the best dental practice in San Francisco.

Unfortunately Dr. Rodriquez left the office and what is left there now is a disaster. The new dentists got rid of a wonderful a competent staff that not only knew your name but handled the office procedures immaculately. Let's start with the fact that they are two brothers one a dentist the other one I don't know if he has completed a Dental degree. Calls I got: First call received claiming a owed $100 so I went to the office because I don't play with bills and they corrected there mistake. Now I receive a call claiming I now owed $12,000. The lack of experience compounded by the audacity to claim I owe 12k leaves me wondering whether they are scammers. My recommendation find another dentist I did.

I went to this dentist and had a great experience while there. The dentist advised I needed periodontal root scaling (aka deep clean). They indicated this was medically necessary and provided me with a fact sheet confirming that insurance would cover the cost of the procedure. However I have now had my insurance and 2 dental experts review my file both of whom confirm that the procedure was not medically necessary and therefore not covered by insurance. I am now out about $2,000. Careful about letting this dentist scam you into procedures you don't need and that insurance won't cover (even when they provide you written documentation that it will).

I've gone to this office for about 20 years, seeing my previous dentist for about 5 years. I came in to have my teeth cleaned. It was confusing to see the office bare of photos and a new person at the desk. Without a word of introduction she told me I had to pay in full to have my teeth cleaned because it was faster for the insurance company to pay me. This was irregular because I'd never had it happen in 20 years. Then my beloved hygienist, Carol, told me Dr. Rodriguez had sold the practice to Dr. Kandar who I'd be seeing. Perhaps Dr. Kandar is a wonderful dentist, but this completely unprofessional transfer, causes me to have concerns. To top it off, about six weeks later I get a letter from my insurance denying the claim due to the lack of information from the dentist office. This was all routine information only the dentist could provide. Suffice it to say I'll not be seeing this dentist again.

I have been attending this dental location for 30+ years and have had the practice switch hands a number of times after my original, highly skilled dentist sold his practice 15+ years ago. I was skeptical when the practice changed hands once again within two years. I must report that I am delighted. What is very exciting to me, is that Dr. Kandar is a young dentist, though has plenty of experience, so he is up on the latest technology. Also, in this time of Covid, the office was over and above sanitary and I felt completely safe with how my dental treatment was handled. The diagnostics were superior and I could actually see why I needed the treatment. When the treatment was executed, it was done without an ounce of pain, even the next day my teeth were not sore which really surprised me. I also appreciate their membership which is very helpful since dental procedures are expensive and insurance is still in the dark ages. What I also loved, was the focus being on prevention, which is where it is at in my opinion. This leads me to Anna, the dental hygienist, who completely enlightened me on better ways to take care of my gums and my teeth and I thought I knew it all! Everyone in the office is professional, kind, supportive, and knowledgeable in their area of expertise. I am especially impressed with Dr. Kandar, he takes a lot of pride in his work. I felt like he was an artist, careful and accurate. And I must say that I am very, very happy with the two new crowns that I received. They look like real teeth! Though skeptical at first, I was delighted with my treatment. If you are looking for a dentist or are becoming discouraged with your current dentist, I highly recommend you give this dental office and their staff a try. I am sure you will be delighted you did.

Beware: the vast majority of the reviews here are for a previous practice under Dr. Rodriguez who was an excellent and courteous dentist and ran a professional and responsible practice, which is no longer the case with Uno Dental. Uno Dental took over Dr. Rodriguez's practice last year and inherited all of his patients. When Uno's staff contacted me for an appointment for a routine cleaning, they were not upfront about their "fee for service" business model. I did not even consider that this is a business model that any dental practice uses, so did not think to check or ask. When I arrived for my cleaning appointment I asked if they needed to see my insurance. They assured me it would be taken care of and would handle it after the appointment, rushing to get me into the chair. During my visit, they tried to sell me on a "deep cleaning" and that's when I learned I would have to pay the entire amount out of pocket (100% of whatever they decided to bill) and that they were going to be charging me around $1600 for the deep cleaning and visit. I of course refused, but got stuck with a $600 bill for what ended up being a routine cleaning, exam, and imaging. I WAS NOT TOLD I WOULD BE PAYING THIS MUCH FOR A DENTAL EXAM AND ROUTINE CLEANING PRIOR TO MY APPOINTMENT. I've never once had to pay this much to see a dentist for a routine cleaning and check up before in my life. Nor did I feel that I received anything "above and beyond" in terms of treatment for the amount I paid. I left their office feeling angry, taken advantage of, and extremely disappointed that Uno Dental would take advantage of Dr. Rodriguez's former patients in such a manner. They are not in-network with Delta Dental PPO so I was only reimbursed a meager $143 for their over priced services. Please be cautious of this practice, they are not honest with their patients about their over priced charges when they walk in the door for the first time and are using the former good standing of Dr. Rodriguez to their benefit and to scam new and returning patients.

Everyone in this practice is attentive, willing to answer all questions, and able to help even those who have unpleasant memories of dentists past (for example: my roommate is HIGHLY phobic and they take every step they can to help her). They're very thorough and use a number of methods to plan out what you need to keep your teeth healthy. The products recommended to me for home care were available on Amazon and affordable. There weren't any pushy up-sales or scare tactics, just straightforward information about what's going on in your mouth. It's a refreshing attitude anywhere in the medical field, especially one most people consider a "vanity" rather than a necessity. But you only get one mouth, and the longer you wait, the more it will cost you in the end. Especially since 2020 more or less turned everyone into a jaw clenching and/or teeth-grinding sleeper. The best thing you can do for your teeth is to call and set up that appointment you've been putting off. Even if you break out in a cold sweat at the thought, you can be certain they'll take great care of you.

Over the years, I've been to many, many dentists so, I know the drill. :-) Seriously, I've had allot of work done and Uno Dental is top notch. They use the latest technology and their personal service and communication is A+. I strongly recommend the service providers at Uno Dental.

This dentist tried to scam me. They told me to pay up front right after my appointment even though I had checked beforehand that my insurance would cover it. They then said they'd have the insurance claim be sent to me within 2-4 weeks, but after 5 weeks I received nothing. Did they hope I'd forget about it? So I called the dentist back and they kept saying to wait, over and over again. After about 5 different calls to this dentist, they somehow realized that they had "accidentally" sent the insurance claim TO THEMSELVES. Talk about scamming. I still haven't gotten my money back and it's been about 2 months since I paid them. Suffice to say that I won't be returning to this dentist and advise everyone who wants an honest dentist to look somewhere else.
