Claude is so much fun to see. Great sense of humor and keeps his office staff for many, many years. This is a testament about how he treats them. My husband and I have been going to him for 18 years now. We don't live in the city any more but he's worth the drive.

I had a good first visit with this dentist, but when I came back a second time he was cold and tried to pressure me into things I didn't need to have done. I had questions about cosmetic dentistry and he was aloof and even took 2 personal cell phone calls while sitting in the room with me. He even said on his phone "I'll be down in 2 minutes, I'm not doing anything here" while I was trying to speak with him! After that experience he charged me for a teeth cleaning I didn't have and I have never gone back.

Friendly doctor, nice staff. Rates are higher than many dentists and the office could use an update, but I recommend Dr. Sidi.

Dr Sidi took over after several other dentists messed up my teeth. He makes replacing ugly, ageing amalgam fillings with invisible composite *almost* pleasant, and the results look terrific. His hygienists are great, his receptionist Tyler is wonderful and Dr Sidi himself is charming, caring and dedicated.

I visited this dentist once for a check-up, he was very pleasant and was not in a hurry to take my money for expensive treatments. He was also very flexible regarding payment. I highly recommend though he hasn't actually treated me yet.

I've been a patient of Dr Sidi for over 10 years and have found it to be, overall, a very pleasant experience. I am fortunate to have fairly good teeth and gums (I owe it all to flossing) but of course things do happen! Dr Sidi keeps me informed as to problems he is watching, so that I am never surprised when it's time to drill, crown, etc. I have been happy with his office (great views) and very easy to get to. The staff is warm and welcoming. And Claude is a truly nice person. I highly recommend that if you're looking for a change, give him a try.

I'm not over the moon with Dr. Sidi's treatment; I may be one unlucky patient but you can be sure I'm not going back there. I had 2 cavities filled over the past couple of months and I'm still waking up with unbearable pain from the "post operative trauma" Time to ditch the painkillers and try another dentist. And as for the estimates of the cost of treatment, I really felt I had not been told the whole story when an extra bill showed up in the mail a month later. I guess we conveniently forgot to mention all the costs involved as well as the fact that my insurance only covered silver fillings, not the white ones causing all this pain. Sidi might be a great dentist to others, but I'm looking elsewhere on this one

I have been going to Dr. Sidi for more than 5 years and have continued to see him even after I moved to the peninsula. My husband, who is very wary of dentists and finds dental work very frightening is now also a regular patient - he has had emergency root canal surgery and cosmetic work as well as regular cleaning and check ups with Dr. Sidi and his staff. The office worked with us to keep costs low when I changed jobs and was no longer covered by dental insurance, so that we could continue to afford regular check ups and a few fillings. I have recommended his services to several friends, who have all been very pleased with the quality of service and treatment. In addition, they have music, movies, and a fabulous view of Coit Tower and the San Francisco Bay while you sit in the dentist's chair!

Dr. Sidi is fantastic! I normally have a lot of anxiety and fear about the dentist, but he changed all that. He has quite the sense of humor and the confident, gentle manner of he and his staff put me at ease. I love that he still uses very traditional, yet current insturments. He's only high-tech where necessary, thereby keeping down your costs. He is absolutely meticulous and an extreme perfectionist. He will make sure you are happy and that his work perfect before letting you leave. His staff is friendly and a delight to deal with. I always left feeling relaxed, rather than stressed and no longer dread visits to the dentist. Highly recommended.

Although Dr. Sidi has a general practice, cosmetic dentistry is his specialty. He has been my dentist for 14 years, and I still trek over to SF from Berkeley because I refuse to give him up. He is an absolute perfectionist, and as a result he does flawless work. (I think he really sees himself as an artist as much as he does a dentist; he is an amateur Impressionist painter on the side.) Claude has done bonding on my teeth due to wearing and chipping (unfortunately, I was blessed with very soft enamel) and has redone my numerous crowns, replacing them with porcelain ones to match my other teeth. Claude has formed a great relationship with the lab people in his building, and he frequently calls them in to help him with the matching process. I have also seen the results of the more extensive cosmetic work you are talking about; he is really tops in his field. My sense is that his prices are within the reasonable range.
