Allen L Hasse, DDS

I have been seeing Dr. Hasse for about three years. I always see him, never a colleague. It is a large shared office with semi-​private exam spaces, but that’s not something I’m bothered by. The exam spaces have seated visual privacy as apposed to an office like Western Dental that have a large open area. It’s certainly a busy office but I’ve never had to wait for long periods of time to complete my exam.
Dr. Hasse always takes time to make conversation and has consistently exhibited genuine interest in my dental health and overall well being. Several times I asked him a question for which he took the time to thoroughly answer by showing me reference material from retrieved from his office.

Excellent doctor! My son and daughter both had their wisdom teeth removed by him and both procedures went very well. He’s professional yet friendly and takes time to answer all questions and acknowledge all concerns. The office staff is also wonderful and very caring.
I would highly recommend Dr. Hasse for all dental procedures.

Dr. Hasse is the best Dentist there is. I moved out of the city and tried other dentists but ended up going straight back to Dr. Hasse because I knew I would get the best work done and the best price from him. He’s honest, straightforward, and he is extremely knowledgeable and very talented. It feels so good to know I’m in good hands. Thank you Dr. Hasse!

Dr. Hasse is a great dentist! I tried two other dentists in San Francisco before going to him. The other two (Dr. Vo at Esthetics Dental and Mouhannad Almajdalani, DDS) were absolutely terrible compared to Dr. Hasse. Dr. Hasse has great bedside manner and seems to really care about your dental health. So many dentists these days are salesmen, but not Dr. Hasse – he is completely trustworthy. Highly recommended!

I had a terrible experience. This office has a HUGE number of patients and I felt like one of many in a herd of cattle. It was the most impersonal, bizarre dental appointment I have ever experienced. Dr. Hasse barely said two words to me — instead of talking, he turned on a video and handed me headphones. I quickly found a different dentist.

Love this guy! Been going to him for about 10 yrs and he actually makes going to the dentist ok. He tells it like it is, and does great dental work. Very easy to talk to and get answers from. I would recommend him to all who want a great dentist. Thanks Dr. Hasse!

I am very particular about my teeth and super sensitive as well — I feel so lucky that I found Dr. Hasse — I tell everyone who ever asks me about finding a good dentist that mine is the best there is! He listens, is gentle and professional and has the uncanny ability to put people at ease in situations that can be tense and uncomfortable. He is a dentist to be trusted entirely and that is invaluable. I have been a patient of his for over 10 years now and hope he never retires, I know I’m selfish but seriously I will cry when the day comes…

Dr Hasse is the man. He comes with great experience, is easy to talk to, walks you through everything he is doing to make you feel as comfortable as possible, and his assistant Yelena is super nice too. If he is accepting patients, I strongly recommend Dr. Hasse!

Because physicians never get any kind of dental training, I am always clueless when people ask me about dental issues. Dr. Hasse recently performed a root canal on the hubby after he developed an abscess. Dr. Hasse was patient enough to let me watch the procedure, given my curiosity. He even explained his technique step by step and graciously answered my 21 questions with the zeal of a former professor. He’s the real deal with more than 40 years in practice. I’d let him fix my pearly whites anyday.

I hadn’t been to a dentist in several years and was worried about how this visit was going to go. Based on all the reviews Dr. Hasse looked like the right dentist for the job. I was not disappointed at all. Dr. Hasse examined my teeth and thoroughly explained everything he was looking for and what he was seeing. There were no lectures about my 8 year hiatus or about the importance of flossing.
After a thorough exam and cleaning we put together a plan for other procedures that I could have done which included minor repairs and whitening. So far it has gone perfectly to plan. I couldn’t be happier. He is the best dentist I have ever had.

I’m adding one star after sorting through my dental insurance. I’m still waiting for the final bill/​statement, but will give the office the benefit of the doubt. In the future, however, I will wait for one bill after the service, instead of paying on the estimate.

I’ve had alot of dental work done over the years, and having a dad, brother, uncles, and cousins in the business, I feel fairly confident that Dr. Hasse is one of the best dentists around.
Having a root canal isn’t a walk in the park, but he talked me through the process, and commented during each step of the procedure – I felt really at ease (as much as one can be having a root canal!), and the outcome was very well.
I gave him 5 stars, but the teeth cleaning was good, but not the best I’ve had. Everything else far exceeded expectations, so I just couldnt strip him of that last coveted star as his assistant did the cleaning. She gets 4, he gets 5. Cleaning aside, the heavy lifting work is what’s more important to me (fillings, crowns, cavities) and he’s the best.

I always thought of Dr. Hasse as a 5-​star dentist: gentle, non-​invasive treatment. But I found over several years that he was often not in the office when I arrived and I was treated by a colleague instead. This happened at least three times over 4 years — without any notification.
I also realized that my teeth weren’t being cleaned. Dr. Hasse did a thorough exam and always told me things looked good, but aside from a a minute or two with the electric scaler there was no cleaning.
I finally realized I could do better.

I found Dr. Hasse on Unilocal and first went to see him in mid December. I was so happy with him and the whole experience. My last dentist said I had 5 cavities which shocked me as I take very good care of my teeth. Dr Hasse did an xray and found 1 — what relief :-) I went back a couple of wks later and had it filled then booked for my next appt in 6 mos. So, so thrilled with him, the information he provides and the experience he has!
I recommend him completely!

Unlucky with teeth, lucky with dentists — that’s me.
I was so spoiled by my fabulous dentist in LA that I stuck with him even for the ten-​year period I was living in Europe, Asia, and NYC (every yearly trip home included a visit to his office). By the time he retired I was living in SF. Boy, did I dread trying a new dentist!
Fortunately my friend Candy — also from LA and living here now — knew about Dr. Hasse and suggested I go to him.
Super-​convenient location, just a couple minutes walk from Embarcadero BART/​MUNI.
I’ve seen Dr. Hasse for two or three checkups and one unscheduled repair of a broken crown. He’s a wonderful guy, gentle, patient, and exceptionally communicative. He talks almost continuously as he’s working on you, but it’s not idle chitchat. He explains in detail what he’s doing and observing about your dental health.

Here is the deal.
I really hate going to dentists, but Dr. Hasse changed that for me.
He was very friendly and efficient. This was my first time seeing him, and he went straight to work. I have had bad luck with dentists in the past always trying to sell me this or get me to try that… not here.
I can actually say, this was a very pleasurable dentist experience. Thanks Dr. Hasse!

I found Dr. Hasse on Unilocal — how fortunate!
I really really really (and at the risk of being repetitive) really love Dr. Hasse!!!
I have a semi– sensitive mouth and he is so gentle.
Dr. Hasse has twice repaired dental work that I had done by a childhood dentist. Both times he caught the issue before it escalated into a serious code red dental emergency and he was able to make the repairs within literally 10 minutes and with little (and once with NO) Novocaine.
Dr. Hasse’s abilities are unmatched by any dentist that I have ever had — even the dentist that I went to in College who I raved about.
I whole heatedly recommend Dr. Hasse for all your dental needs!

I scheduled an appointment with this dentist by calling the phone number. I was given a date 4 weeks later and when I got there, I was told that they had no record of the call.
Now they asked me to make another appointment and call the doctor’s appointment again to figure out what had happened. It was not very professional experience on the whole and would not recommend this place.

Personable, friendly, uses antique tools and shows them off. Dig it.
I was totally happy with my experience until I discovered that a little enamel had been gouged off two of my front teeth (one top, one bottom)! This after Dr. Hasse congratulated me for not wearing down my enamel by over-​brushing.
He consulted on a tooth discoloration that happened when an orthodontist moved a tooth too far. He didn’t pressure me to bleach it (like the orthodontist in his office did). He respected my level of comfort and we talked about the HEALTH of the tooth, not the appearance of it.
He’s really great other than what may have been a slip (two slips) of the hand — hell, it MIGHT have even been the hygienist who assisted, but I don’t think so.

Nice guy.
If you’re looking for a good dentist that isn’t trying to rip you off with needless dental work and takes and hour and a half to clean your teeth then Dr. Hasse is for you.
I’m always a little nervous to go to the dentist, even for a cleaning but Dr. Hasse is so calming and doesn’t waste time getting things all taken care of so you can be off to the rest of your day. He also offers great advice on the best way to clean your teeth so you won’t have to worry too much about cavities.
Plus, he checks your insurance to make sure what you need to have done is covered and if it’s not he let’s you know so you’re not completley shocked when you get the bill.
He’s a keeper.
