Stephen T Stein, DDS

Needed a Dentist with fair pricing, as I am «self-​insured.» Two friends referred my to Dr. Steve.
First visit was a breeze. Staff was welcoming; office was very clean and organized and the chair experience was great. Dr Steve, a UCSF graduate, performed a digital glandular cancer exam and hyper-​tension (blood pressure cuff) exam — before I opened my mouth. Very thorough and professional bearing.
I also appreciated the fact that HE performs the first cleaning for new patients and made an easy to understand evaluation of my oral health. Great practice and caring attention.
The paint job in the building (Military light green), transported me back to my «Air Forces Europe, Flight Operations building. » Yet, the practice is easy to locate with great free parking — unlike my previous San Francisco dentist.

Steve is absolutely the best. Several of his patients have become personal friends. How often have you heard your dds being invited to patients weddings and homes? He is just a great and nice guy in addition to a skilled dentist.

I’ve known Dr. Stein since I was 17, which was 13 years ago, but did not become a patient of his since 2008. Since then, I wish I had switched to him much sooner. My previous dentist was a nice person and a great dentist, too, but their rates were becoming really unreasonable for someone who only worked part time and went to school full time. I just couldn’t afford him, but I knew switching to Dr. Stein, I’d be in good hands and not be going into the cold unknown. That is why I write this review, because when you’re out in the cold unknown, this review will comfort you (hopefully) that if you have Dr. Stein working with you towards optimum dental health, he will guide he every step of the way. As all others say, he’s very gentle, intuitive, and caring — great bedside manner. Plus, he will make you giggle a few times — which always eases any ill feelings being at the dentist. Anyway, not to sound too long winded, to sum things up — if you’re local to Concord/​Walnut Creek, there is no reason for him NOT to be your dentist — and if you’re out of this area and too far away, I fell bad for you!

Agreed! My family and I have been going to Dr. Stein for years and he has taken care of us. Dr. Stein and his staff are very professional and makes you feel comfortable.

I have more experience than most people with dentists. I have been going since I was four — and way to often. I was born with bad teeth genes. Dr. Stein gives me the best care of anyone. He is also caring, gentle and very direct regarding taking care of your teeth. I followed him from Berkeley to Concord and now I come from Napa. for anyone who hates the dentist — go to Dr. Stein and he will change your mind.

My wife is Brazilian, and has family members in the Dentistry profession in Brazil. Consequently we get most our dental work performed when we visit Brazil. But when she had an issue for which we could not wait, I looked on trusty Unilocal for a dentist to diagnosis and treatment. We could not be happier. ( Unilocal also counted as a referral, btw). Dr. Stein and all the staff are the best. Friendly, patient, thorough, and reasonable! Nice people too.

I’ll add to the kudos. I’ve been seeing Dr. Stein since 1999 when he was still in Berkeley and followed him out to Concord with no hesitation. He and his staff actually make you look forward to going to see the dentist. I couldn’t give him a higher recommendation.

I have been to three dentist this year looking for a good one — Dr. Stein is it! He is sweet, gentle and the assistant, Andrea, is great too.

All the reviews are right, steve stein is the best dentist around. i’ve been seeing him for years and no matter when i live, i drive to see him. he’s the best. if you need a dentist, call him – he’ll take great care of you!

didn’t have time to read the whole profile above, was looking for his address, but YES, YES, YES, his is the best dentist in the ENTIRE known universe… go to him, tell him Ken sent you. He is gentle, convivial and the staff is great. He makes no bones about it that dentistry is not fun and does his best to make a good experience… I have had major work and each time it was great!!! again, Drl Stephen Stein in Concord near Mount Diable Hospital… HE IS WORTH COMING FROM ANYWHERE!!!

Im SO surprised no one has Unilocaled Dr Stein yet! Maybe because he’s Concord’s best kept secret! I believe he might only be available by reference only, it was that way when I started seeing him about six years ago, but Im not sure now.
Id say I have bad teeth, not crooked, not perfectly white, too many fillings, bad bite, etc. Dr Stein keeps it real, he’ll tease me about flossing «Keagan, now THIS is flossing» and my smart ass reply «Ooooh, is that what that is?» Im ALWAYS in a good mood when I come in here!
Very professional and caring, extremely gentle too! Im very sensitive and he makes sure to get out the laughing gas even for my cleanings! The staff there is nice, he always has excellent and fun loving assistants (only two different ones in the six year period)! I often find myself shootin the shit with them after. Im never in a rush here, its always a great experience (except the condition of my teeth). I would have to say in general I hate the «dentist» but I ADORE MY dentist!
Cant say enough good things about him!
