Stephen T. Fan, DMD

I really like Dr. Fan. I called on a Tuesday and they had an appointment available the next afternoon! Parking is less than fun but I like that it is a small office because I feel like it’s less corporate, like they’re not gonna try selling me something I don’t want or need. The staff is very friendly and greeted me by name. The hygienist did the polishing. I really like that Dr. Fan did my cleaning himself. Most dentists come in at the end of the appointment for five minutes but I got to have an actual conversation with him! Great office!

Dr Fan has been a great dentist. Great for both preventative care and the occasional tooth problem. My last time in I had a rough edge on a filling that was bothering me and he took me in on short notice, confirmed there was no issue with an x ray and helped file it down. At the end… He didn’t even charge me which was super generous since I am not even sure that he was the one who did the original filling!

After I got filling at this place, my teeth become very sensitive. I went back to check it again and the doctor did not fix it at all. I will not go back there any more.

Dr. Fan and his Team are excellent. Family friendly and gentle on my teeth, I would highly reccomend. Even better they hand out drink coupons for the place across the street so you can undo their good work with something sweet ;)

Dr. Fan has been my dentist for many years, and I trust him completely with my dental care. I developed an ache in my left mouth while eating, and I went immediately after my lunch date to have Dr. Fan evaluate the situation. He fitted me in his schedule and diagnosed my problem. His staff is also fantastic.

Being new to the area I asked my neighbor if she knew a good dentist. She recommended I go see Dr. Fan. My wife made my appointment for me and informed Dr. Fan that I have a phobia of dentist. Dr. Fan and his staff took this into consideration and made me feel very comfortable thru casual conversation. Having work needing to be done by specialists he referred me to equally great doctors. The one thing that stands out for me is that after each of my procedures at the specialists, Dr. Fan was the one to call me afterwards just to see how I was doing. If you need a dentist that is gentle, soft spoken and a great bedside manner, Dr. Fan is your man. Thanks Doc

Finally got a job that offers insurance, so one of the first thing I did was making a dentist appointment. Coming from a country where flossing isn’t a habit and you only go to see a dentist when you can’t bear the pain, I was a bit wary to visit a dentist.
Anyway, I made the appointment online. Then the very same day I got a phone call from Dr. Fan, confirming the appointment. On the day of the visit, I came 10 minutes early and was prompted to fill out a one sheet form. Pretty straightforward. Before I had the chance to ask, he assured me that the information would be safe. I then went to get x-​ray taken, got checked, and cleaning.
I was afraid that a dentist will try to hard-​sell a procedure, but Dr. Fan did not mention anything like that. Both Dr. Fan and his assistant, Lily, who was very friendly, reminded me time and again about the importance of flossing. He did mention that removing my wisdom teeth will help eliminate a food trap, whose existence isn’t healthy. He then gave me a referral to another doctor, and he made sure that the oral doctor accepts my insurance.
After the cleaning, they helped me to set up another checkup 6 months from now and off I go with a plastic bag containing a toothbrush, a travel sized toothpaste and floss to make sure I do my just-​being-​cleaned-​teeth justice.
It was a pleasant visit, and I’ll be back in 6 months.

So glad to have found Dr Fan. He is a courteous, honest and generous dentist. We just came back from my 6 year old son’s dental appointment. He had a wonderful experience. Dr Fan’s office is clean and professional. He really cares about his patients. My son loves Dr Fan and we are so fortunate to have him. Needless to say me and my wife will be seeing Dr Fan too.

I called Dr. Fan office cause I had a bad toothache. Dr. Fan answered the phone and said he had an open at 2pm. I let him know I didn’t have insurance until June he told me the exam would be free and we would talk about the xray later. I arrived in Dr. Fan greeted me himself and gave one form to fill out, not a stack. The xray was taken by his assistant, who very pleasant. Dr. Fan came in and did the exam, he know admittedly what the problem was. Dr Fan provide me with best health care. I always think Dentists are salesmen cause they always try to sell you things you don’t need right now. I didn’t feel this way with Dr. Fan. He wasn’t trying to gain financially, he was trying to provide me with the best health care. Thank God for Doctors like Dr. Fan. If your looking for a good Dentist contact Dr. Fan.

Hi, I am very happy with Dr. Fan and he deserves 5 stars I think.

My family and I have been looking for a good dentist since moving to the Bay Area in 2007. We have tried a couple of dentists in Fremont (some even recommended on Unilocal), and different parts the Bay Area, but have not found anyone that we were happy with. We just avoided going to the dentist altogether because we could not find a suitable one. A week ago, my husband started to complain about a toothache, and I knew it was time (again) to find a dentist. He went to one for the same tooth a few weeks prior, but it seemed like that particular dentist did not do the work correctly. I went on Unilocal to find a dentist in our area, and chanced upon Dr. Fan. Although I did not meet Dr. Fan personally, my husband (who by the way hates going to the dentist for any reason) said that he felt comfortable with Dr. Fan and I think we have finally found a family dentist. My 6-​year-​old son is going for an appointment, and I have to make a few appointments for myself. Dr. Fan is highly recommended, and I am so glad to have found him.
Also, thanks to his staff member/​s for keeping an eye on my son while my husband had dental work done. Great people! Very happy with this dental office!

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Fan for over a year and and we couldn’t be more satisfied. The staff is warm, friendly, and professional and Dr. Fan is extremely personable and experienced. I sometimes get nervous at dentists offices but I always feel relaxed here knowing that I am in good hands. We hope to continue to come here for many years and to bring our future children here as well!

Dr. Fan found two small cavities during a routine visit. He is super thorough! I got it taken care of ASAP. He was extremely patient, asking me how I was doing, throughout the procedure! Can’t beat that!

I have been going to Dr. Fan since 1991! Even though I moved out of Fremont 18 years ago, I still travel to him for all my dental work. My husband and daughters also have seen him for 10+ years. Dr Fan and the staff are very friendly and accomodating. They will work with you on scheduling and payments. I especially recommend this office for kids– he has state of the art equipment and is very good with children… especailly when they need a shot and fillings. He makes it less scary for them and they always leave with toothbrushes, a little prize and a big smile on their faces!
Once you go to Dr. Fan, you wont want to go anywhere else.

Experienced doctor, friendly staff and very clean facility.

My daughter recently went to Dr. Fan. She needed extensive dental work, and to make things more complicated, she could only get limited amounts of work at one time. Dr. Fan was amazing! He was kind, patient, professional, and figured out a schedule that could work. Additionally, he was willing to give us a break in the cost so that we could afford to have the work completed.
I highly recommend Dr. Fan to anybody looking for an excellent, caring dentist.
You will be happy with your choice. We certainly are.

I have been a patient since Dr. Fan took over this practice.
Dr. Fan and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable, professional and kind. I visit the dentist ritually ever six months and am always treated like I was there yesterday! Dr. Fan takes personal interested in my health outside dental treatment, making sure that I have no contraindications with other procedures I am receiving.
Thanks to his quality service, my appointments are limited to cleanings — no cavities in 20 years!

I have been a patient of Dr. Fan for over 10 years. What I like about Dr. Fan is that he cares for his patients and is up in the latest technology. I also appreciate that when I needed crowns, that he does not automatically have a root canal perform on the tooth. If he can save the tooth, he recommends doing so. Other dentist routinely performs root canals that may not be needed.
Also his staff members are very competent. They work with the patient in a gentle and caring manner.
I would highly recommend Dr. Fan.

We have been visiting Dr. Fan for the last 2 years. It has been a wonderful experience so far. They build a personal connection with the patients.
