Came in when shelter in place was lifted, and felt really safe the whole time. I felt really cared for -- Dr Styger started the checkup by looking at the sides of my tongue for cancer, which I really appreciated; it felt like a real holistic oral health check rather than just a cosmetic check.

I have a ton of problems with my teeth. He was very thorough and understood that I am cost conscious and wrote up a plan to get me back to good dental health.

Dr. Styger and his team is very friendly and super professional. He was able to provide sound advice regarding issues related to my gum/teeth. I would highly recommend Dr Styger to be your primary dental care doctor.

The entire staff at Dr. Styger's office were so pleasant to work with. Even though I was running late, they were very welcoming—it was my first time here. I'm pretty sure I was their last appointment of the day, so I really appreciate the patience. As for the care, I left the office feeling great. About 50 minutes, including me fumbling around filling out all my forms in a flurry at the beginning. Too bad Opencare didn't prefill my forms for me. Biting down on the X-rays device hurt my gums a bit, but it's a small nuisance. The view out the window makes up for it. They noticed a few cosmetic suggestions to make about a tooth I hadn't realized I'd chipped, but they didn't push me hard on a fix for it. Great since I don't enjoy getting upsold. They're there to help if I want, but no pressure. I'd go back.

I have some embarrassingly bad teeth. Dr. Styger was patient, helpe dme create a plan and very easy and comforting to talk to. I haven't been this comfortable and grateful to a dentist in a long time. I highly recommend him (and his office has quite the view!)

Dr Styger is about as good as it gets! I’ve been his patient for over 2 decades and he has treated me with the utmost respect, care, skill, kindness and compassion you could ask for. He’s been there for me every step of the way and that says a whole lot because I’ve had many, many dental emergencies over the years. Dr. Styger is one of a kind, and on top of that the amazing women that are part of his team in the office make it all the more excellent.

Dr. Styger is a great dentist. I have used him for 15 years or so. I first used him when his practice was in Davis and I liked him so much I now travel to San Francisco so he can continue to be my dentist. He always is concerned about my comfort while in his chair. He is excllent about explaining the procedures and has a centrally located practice (if you live in San francisco Bay Area). Dr. Joe has a warm, gregarious personality and is genuinely concerned about his patients. His staff is top notch as well. You will be pleased if you decide to go to him for your dental needs.

I was having terrible pain when I called the office on a Monday, not a day when Dr Styger is usually seeing patients. He agreed to come in on his day off to help me out!!! That is top notch service!!! He has helped me navigate some tough situations in dealing with bad gums. His care is high level with service to match :)

Been coming here 35 years. Dr. Styger is the best in what he does. I enter , I sit ,& he does what needs to be done, nothing less. If it’s a big problem he will explain first. I feel like I’m well taken cared of.

Dr. Joe is the best dentist in the whole BayArea. He has the talent of an artist with his color matching on crowns and fillings. Gives a painless injection. He is fast so you don't get a sore jaw by keeping your mouth open for a long time. He is up to date on all the new dental procedures and materials being used. He has a friendly and warm personality. And importantly, he will work with you on your payments.
