Patient Review 1:

I started going to Dr. Yucel after our roommates recommended her, who they found on this website. The place feels like a spa. I love the music they play. They had some changeover with receptionists however it didn't impact care as they are very well versed with what insurance will cover. They knew with my insurance plans how much money they would cover for the procedures. I went to Dr. Yucel every 6-8 months and found it easier to go to the dentist over time as I was very scared before. After moving back to NYC recently my husband still goes to Dr. Yucel and when I had a business trip to san francisco, I made it a point to go and they made time for me knowing my limited time schedule. I am still trying to think of a way to go now. Dr. Yucel is very friendly and easy to talk to and really cares for her patients. She had done a filling for my husband prior to us going on vacation and he had some issues with it and we called her over the weekend and she returned the phone call right away and said we come in that next morning - however we were scheduled to depart for vacation. She called the following week to check up on her but by then the issue has resolved.

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: 3 years.

Patient Review 2:

I dont know what to do with my gum/teeth without Dr. Yucel!

I have known her since 1999 and I am so lucky to meet her to start my treatments in the city.

Unfortunately I have an advanced gum disease and see her every two months but she is very skilled, polite and easy.

One time I had to change my dentist which was a disaster...but Dr. Yucel is always on your side suggesting the best for you not just her own benefits.

The stuff at the office is very nice as well. Sue at the reception worked very hard to find a way for me to see Dr. Yucel with my insurance that I though I couldnt see her any more&

What I like the best of all is that I can trust her 100%! Again, I wouldnt know what to do with my teeth/gum without Dr. Yucel and her office!!

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: July 1999.

Patient Review 3:

Dr. Yucel is an incredible dentist. She is warm and gentle and really makes you feel at ease. I used to really hate going to the dentist, but Dr Yucel has broken me from this attitude. Dr Yucel is very thorough and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Dr Yucel

About Hygienist: Kim is a good hygienist. At first she was a little rough, but then I asked her to lay up. Afterwards she told that she likes to make sure that she gets into every nook and cranny and some people like that, but I dont. She really looks to polish your teeth, something else that I dont like. But on a whole, she is kind, funny and knowledgeable.

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: 1.5 years.

Patient Review 5:

I usually don't pay much attention to who select as a dentist and go with who the insurance recommends. Luckily Dr. Yucel was recommended to me and I could not be happier. What a difference to other dentists! She really cares about her work, lets you get involved in the decision making and follows up with the patient. And she is also the most gentle one I ever met. Really a great doctor!

About Hygienist: Kim is very skilled. She does a great job.

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: 3 years.

Patient Review 6:

After one of my first visits to Dr. Yucel, I wrote a review and I said, "Dr. Yucel is exactly what I've been looking for, and I'll be sticking with her as long as I'm in SF!"

That review was over 3 years ago (see 04/24/2005), and unfortunately I'm now moving to a different state. It will be very hard to find a dentist in my area that's as good as Dr. Yucel. She set a high standard, and whenever a friend needed a dentist I referred them to Dr. Yucel. Maybe I'll have to organize trips back to SF that happen to coincide with my scheduled dental checkups :)

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: 3 years.

Patient Review 7:

Dr. Yucel was recommended to me by a co-worker and I've stayed with her since. I've found her treatment and advice extremely valuable.

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: 2 years.

Patient Review 8:

I don't get numb. Its a very unfortunate thing when you have a fair amount of dental work that needs to be done, and needless to say, there's a tremdous amount of anxiety that comes along with it.

That said, Dr, Yugel is the nicest, most patient and caring dentist (and person!) I've ever met. She doesn't drill if you're uncomfortable, and sincerely cares about your well being. She takes her time to do a great job, and makes sure the patient is comfortable throughout the process. I recommend her to all of my friends -- I'm sure you will love her, too!

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: 2 years.

Patient Review 9:

Dr. Yucel is hands down the best dentist I have ever had. I have never felt very comfortable going to the dentist, I have a strong gag reflex, but I have never felt discomfort or fear in Dr. Yucel's office. She is so very gentle and caring and I trust her completely.

The office is so clean and sparkling it does feel a bit like a spa. I have recommended Dr. Yucel to all of my friends and family and I recommend her to anyone reading this review. I live all the way in the east bay and I drive to the city just to keep her as my dentist!

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: 5 years.

Patient Review 10:

Dr. Yucel is fantastic! She and her staff are friendly and knowledgable. They always make me feel comfortable.

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: 3 years.

Patient Review 11:

If you are scared of dentists or dread the pain of that awful drilling machine, Dr. Yucel is your dentist!!!

She is very attentive, knowledgeable and great with her patients. I used to hate going to the dentist but not anymore. My experiences with her have been consistently the least painful dental care (cavities, deep cleaning, etc...) I had in my life... Very gentle and understanding...

On the cost side, I think the insurances she accepts are not as extensive as it should be but you get your money back anyways (her fantastic admin, Sue, does a great job). Because of the out-of-network pricing, you may be a paying a bit more than an in-network dentist. But considering the careful and painless treatment and her depth of knowledge, I'd rather cut on my $5 latte and to go cheap on my dental care.

Patient Review 12:

Dr. Yucel is simply a very good dentist. The best I ever had. She is a perfectionist and has very high standards for her work. She would not let me leave the chair before everything is fitting right and feels good. Only then she is satisfied. She is comforting and very experienced. I trust her advice.

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: 6 months.

Patient Review 13:

Between insurance changes, moving to different cities, and not having pleasant experiences, I've seen quite a few dentists over the years. I can safely say that Dr. Yucel is my favorite dentist of all time. My teeth weren't in the best of shape when I got there, but from the moment I first walked in her door, I was put to ease. Dr. Yucel put me on a treatment plan and explained thoroughly everything that needed to be done. Everything was straightforward and I never felt like she was pushing a treatment that I didn't actually need.

Dr. Yucel is a warm and friendly person who genuinely cares about her patients. Her staff shares the same qualities as well. Her facilities are top notch.

I highly recommend Dr. Yucel.

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: 5 months.

Patient Review 14:

After visiting my dentist in the Southern California area for a number of years, I decided it was time to switch to someone locally. Dr. Yucel was highly recommended to me, so I went. She is not only personable, but highly skilled in her craft, and I would not hesitate to recommend her. Thank you, Dr. Yucel.

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: 2 Years.

Patient Review 15:

I have been to a lot of dentists in my life, and I have to say that Dr. Yucel is one of the best. She is professional, careful, attentive, and always explains exactly what she is doing and why. When I had an emergency while out of town, she returned my phone call promptly and saw me in her office as soon as I got back. I've referred my daughter to her, and she has also been very pleased . I would recommend her to anyone enthusiastically.

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: about 2 years.

Patient Review 16:

Dr Yucel is the best dentist ever. I have been to many as I had to move all over the States. She has the most talent, softest hands and a high tech office. I never once experienced pain in her chair futhermore it is easy to fall asleep while she is working (as strange as it may sound). Then you see the great work she finished. When I first met her I used to get second opinions and search her diagnosis but I always ended up coming back to her. Now I have no doubt she always does what is necessary and accurately. I recommended many friends and relatives over the years and every single person loved her and thanked me. It is hard to find a great dentist. I will happily travel from far distances for her.

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: 9 years.

Patient Review 17:

i have been a patient of Dr. Yucel's for about 8 years and would never think of seeing someone else! she is an incredibly gentle dentist who truly cares for her patients. she makes all procedures so comfortable that it's not uncommon for me to fall asleep in the cushy seats. everyone i have recommended feels the same way.

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: 8 yrs.

Patient Review 18:

I went to Dr. Yucel because I saw her high rating on Dr. Oogle.

I got a numbing shot to get new fillings and she hit a nerve. She explained to me, I have only ONCE hit a NERVE in my (i forgot) 9 years of practice? (GREAT!) Ask any dentist - hitting a patient's nerve that leaves weird tingling sensation is NOT normal.

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: 3 years.

Patient Review 19:

I recently saw a bumper sticker that said, "I love my dentist." I need one of those! Dr. Nil Yucel is an outstanding dentist. On top of being gentle and caring, she's extremely competent in the mechanics and cosmetics of dentistry. For someone who needs lots of dental work, both are important to me. The staff is friendly and competent, too, and the office has great views. It's (almost) enough to make you look forward to going to the dentist :-).

Treatment Length with Dr. Yucel: 5 years.

Patient Review 20:

If you scare to go to the dentist, you haven't met Dr. Nil yet. I was visiting SF and had an emergency, I didn't even have appointment. I went there she took care of me like I'm her old patient. What a treat !!!

I live in NY but I will fly to SF if I need a dentist. She is professional, she is kind and friendly. Thank you so much Dr. Nil.
