Anthony Daniel, DDS

Summary: As a working professional, I have spent way too much time trying to schedule my dentist appointment! It’s a deal breaker for me.
Really nice people! Folks are really nice and Dr. Daniel is great. However, I have one huge pain point:
Availability: there’s no reliable communication. They’re only open 4 days a week, and even on those days it’s hard to get ahold of someone because they have large chunks of the day where no one seems responsive. One time when I did try to get ahold of someone they appeared busy and told me they would call me back that day. Days passed and no one called me back, so I tried again. Email isn’t better– I’ve had to transfer dental records and it was a huge pain to coordinate with this office.
My suggestion: focus on having solid, reliable communication. Keep in mind that only being able to reach your office within a narrow window on the 4 days you are open is a weakness. Brush up your email to be more professional and ensure a good turn around time if you cannot improve your call availability.

I’ve been coming to see Dr Daniel for about 2 years now. Picked him based on excellent Unilocal reviews and I haven’t been disappointed. I’ve had bad experiences in the past with dentists being rough with my gums (or feelings as I tend to be a bit anxious about dental work), but Dr Daniel and his team are always extremely friendly, kind, patient, thorough and explain everything they’re doing each step of the way. Thank you so much for your exceptional bedside manner and ethics!

Can I say I love my dentist? Because I do. I’ve been coming here for 4 years and actually enjoy my appointments. The receptionist is super sweet, the office is the coolest dental office on the planet (converted Victorian apartment), and Dr. Daniel actually cares. Coming here makes me realize how I am a part of this neighborhood and am happy to support a local business that serves the public. But obviously, I big and important piece of that is the top notch service he offers. Thanks Doc! See you in 6 months.

I’ve grown pretty wary of dentists over-​prescribing fillings for cavities recently. Not long ago I had two different dentists look at the same Xrays after doing exams ~2 months apart. The first told me I had 3 cavities while the other said I had 0. Pretty odd. After multiple visits with Dr. Daniel, I definitely don’t get the «lets over prescribe to maximize insurance billings» vibe at all. So far my experience here has been excellent.

After being patients for over two years, we are in search of a new dentist. Dr. Daniel isn’t bad, but we always had to struggle to get to him and be seen within less than a month! Even as existing patients we had to wait one or sometimes two months after calling to schedule an appointment. The last drop was them canceling my appointment on the day of due to the «emergency construction» and never following up to reschedule it. It’s been four months. Thank you for your services, Dr. Daniel, but I will look for a place that values its patients.

By far one of the friendliest and most professional dentists I’ve ever had. Made an appointment quickly with no problem, the staff were incredibly welcoming. As far as cleanings go, it was one of the most pleasant experiences I’ve ever had

Is it weird to review a dentist on Unilocal?I’m not sure, but I don’t care.
I have NOTHING but heaps of praise for Dr. Daniel. I’ve been going to him for about 3 years and he has helped me through several tooth maladies. He truly goes out of his way to accommodate and enable his patients. When I had to get a crown, he met me at the lab making the crown. He even helped out my dad when he was in town visiting!
And there has never been a friendlier dentist in the world! He’s not rushed with you. He takes his time to get to know you and make you feel incredibly comfortable and welcome. When he’s working in your mouth, he’s very cognizant of how you may feel and is constantly checking in.
I love his location in an old Victorian and he trains and employs a bunch of great technicians.
Do yourself favor and give Roe (at the front desk) a call and get yourself an appointment. He is very popular though — so book early!

I’ve been going to this dentist for over a year but suddenly they never answer the phone during business hours or return my calls. I called three times and left voicemails, finally got a call back from a dental assistant telling me the receptionist was sick but I would get a call later that week from her to set up an appointment. Never got that call. The dentist has been great, but if I can’t make an appointment, that doesn’t matter. I’m going elsewhere.

Temporary review as I haven’t even been able to speak with someone. No one answers during business hours and have left two messages in the the past week business week with no response. Maybe they’re short staffed due to all these great reviews…

I called earlier this week about some pain and they said they were booked until April. I expressed my concern of waiting and they were able to fit me in for a quick check up today. I’m very pleased with how nice Anthony and his assistant are and just want to say thanks for squeezing me in the schedule!

I saw Dr. Daniel for a cleaning about 5 months ago (another 5 star experience), and recently went back for a filling I had been putting off. I was able to schedule an appointment for Saturday morning, which was necessary for my husband to be with our baby while I was at the dentist. I love that they have Saturday appointments available! The entire office was immaculate and everyone I encountered was friendly and professional. Nice jazz music played in the treatment room and I got to stare up at a beautiful chandelier while my tooth was worked on. Dr. Daniel explained everything he was doing very clearly to me and was very calm and thorough through the potentially stressful procedure. He paid special attention in making sure I was adequately numb before starting anything and did an excellent job in smoothing out the filling so that my bite now feels normal. I did not experience discomfort of any kind during the procedure. I have been afraid of the dentist for about a decade, ever since one really bad experience… Gone are the days of avoiding the dentist. I am SO happy I now receive care from Dr. Daniel and highly recommend his services.

Dr. Anthony Daniels and his staff are superb. I moved to SF five years ago and have been using him the entire time. He is incredibly meticulous, gentle and patient. He has a dedicated and well trained staff as well. I’ve seen him a few times in the past few months due to a root canal and subsequent crown and routine cleaning. He made each visit enjoyable. Yes… A dental procedure can be enjoyable. I am moving now and will miss Dr. Daniels. I think I will schedule visits to him on my return visits to SF. He’s that amazing. If you are searching for a dentist please look no further. He has a great taste in music too that makes any longer procedure bearable… the Novocaine helps too… thank you Dr. Daniels!

Dr Daniels is so wonderful. Going to the dentist is stressful enough, you don’t need a snotty doctor telling you that you don’t really floss and yes you can too open your mouth wider. Dr Daniels is the exact opposite. He speaks so calmly and serenely you almost feel you are in a little cocoon. His staff are always really nice too. Today Nicole did my X-​rays and she was just lovely.

Dr. Daniel and his team are still on point. Today he was running 15 minutes behind (very rare) and his office called me before I left home to let me know. Who does that anymore? Answer: Dr. Daniel and no one. Professional all the way.

I went for a a regular check and clean up last week. Just moved here from Texas so I had to find myself a new dentist. HANDS DOWN this place is amazing. The staff is great and very friendly. Dr. Daniel is phenomenal! The entire time I was there I felt so comfortable and welcomed. He payed very close attention to detail when cleaning my teeth (not just in a hurry to get me out the door).
By far the best dentist I’ve ever had. YOU should try him too!

One of the most heartbreaking aspects of my move away from San Francisco is giving up Dr. Daniel’s care. He was recommended to me by a friend with severe dental-​phobia — a very high recommendation indeed. After eight years under his care I can say he is the most gentle, kindest and most effective dentist I have ever seen. I received detailed training to improve my brushing technique, careful and thorough exams of my teeth and surrounding soft tissue, and regular patient education. He guided me to heal both my TMJ and my gingivitis. I could not recommend him more highly.

Great first experience with Doctor Daniel at the beginning of the month. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to the dentist and I’ve only ever had the same one. As good as my previous dentist was, Dr. Daniel was that much better.
First off, his office is conveniently located right on Haight st in a beautiful converted Victorian flat. His receptionist Rose takes excellent care in getting you ready for your visit and for your follow-​up.
One of his assistant’s asked me all sorts of questions I’ve never been asked before. What kind of bristles do I use, what kind of tea I drink, and so on. They were all questions that made sense, but none I have ever been asked before. It felt good knowing they were so thorough.
When Dr Daniel actually she started cleaning my teeth, he was very gentle, but directive. He also balanced the small talk perfectly. It’s always a bit frustrating when you’re being asked too many questions while a bunch of metal is in your mouth.
Excited to finally find a dentist in SF and looking forward to my next visit!

I chose Dr. Daniel because of his proximity to my house. After my first visit, I can say I would walk 100 miles to see him. I’ve never had a dentist as kind, patient, and warm as he is. He took the time to really understand my concerns, and made sure I fully understood his findings and advice.
His office is clean and modern. His staff is friendly and talented.
He made me want to floss.

Dr Daniel is a fantastic dentist. He has a fantastic bedside manner, his attention to detail is exemplary, and his office is simply gorgeous. There’s always really great music playing in the office, which makes it that much more relaxing an experience.
I found him 2 ½ years ago based on Unilocal reviews, and I figured it’s high time I contributed to the good press.
HIGHLY recommended. I’ve gotten a number of friends and coworkers going there, and they are all as happy as I am.

Seriously… this guy is good. Without a doubt the best dentist I’ve ever been to. He goes out of his way to make sure you’re comfortable, his staff are always real friendly, and he is just an all around cool guy. It also helps that his office is in a Victorian on Haight st an not in some dreary lifeless strip mall.
I’m not saying I like going to the dentist, but since I have to I’m glad there is Dr. Daniel.
