out of Read Reviews for Dr. Esther Lopez
Dr. Lopez had me get a root canal for a tooth that didn’t need the surgery, which I didn’t know at that time. And later I found out Dr. Lopez had been ripping me off when she showed me an old X-ray pointing out I had a cavity on other tooth. I was able to catch her lie because I went to other dentist for a checkup prior to going back to Dr.Lopez and specifically asked about the tooth so I knew the tooth had already been treated. I also got the new X-ray from the dentist and brought it to Dr.Lopez but she was sneaky and switched it with my old X-ray and told me there is a cavity. So, I told her that she was looking at the wrong X-ray. And she didn’t say anything and just switched it with the correct latest X-ray that I brought in. This incident reminded me of the root canal surgery. I had a pain in that tooth one time but it went away after I brushed and cleaned it well. I asked Dr. Lopez to check on the tooth and she told me I need a root canal and sent me to Dr. Ralan Wong. When I asked Dr. Wong why I need the root canal he stopped and asked me if I want to do it. And at that time I didn’t know what Dr. Lopez was doing to me so I said yes to him. But I think he knew I didn’t need the surgery. He was working with Dr. Lopez and he

Dr Lopez is one of the least known jewels in San Francisco's Dental community. I have been a patient of hers for a number of years And have had quite a few procedures done without exceptional results. More importantly, I actually discovered that she treats a lot of her colleages and their families And to me there's no better endorsement than to trust your love ones to her.

Words are not enough to adequately express my gratitude for the beautiful full mouth reconstruction that Dr Lopez performed on me.
I never really do reviews. This time is an exception because I love not feeling self conscious anymore.
About Hygienist: Karen, my hygienist, was in close and continuous communication with Dr Lopez throughout my treatment plan.

My family and I have been Dr Lopez's patients ever since my children were toddlers. They are grown adults now, but neither we nor they will ever go anywhere else! Collectively, we have had a few successful procedures done over the years, and I must confess that we couldn't have asked for a better doctor, not only because of her skill and knowledge (she teaches at the local dental schools), but also because of what my husband describes as her "humble yet forthcoming" bedside manner. Please be aware that her new patient waiting list is typically long, and therefore you might have to wait for an appoinment. However, I personally attribute that to the experience of deep relaxation that one gets while getting dental work done. (I never felt that with any other dentist). If you live in the area and are looking for a long-term family dentist do yourself a favor, and try her out! You won't be disappointed!
About Hygienist: I would recommend either Aileen or Ann. They both have a nice personality, explain everything, care about getting it exactly right, and have "great hands". (Ann actually happens to be a young dentist who works there on Saturdays, which is quite convenient).

Ok, I don't want to be negative, but I'm extremely dental-phobic, and while the surgery was relatively stress free, and that she her-self was amazingly gentle and reassuring with her measuring techgniques and examination (most dentists seem to be unaware how uncomfortable even blowing air on a gum line can be), I can't recommend her because of not being able to do root canals. She just tried to send me to some unknown dental surgeon - and to be honest it was a MAJOR mental effort to go to her. So I stopped treatment. There was no follow thru. The surgery itself is *ok*, but is still pretty Medical, which isnt very reassuring, and you can also hear drills and the like from the other surgerys. Also she doesnt do her own cleanings, so you could end up with a trainee who is clumsy or whatever. Dr Lopez herself is *very* nice though.

I was referred to Dr. Esther Lopez by my best friend. She did four implants and crowns for me. She was very personable and since I had a very complicated case, she took her time to do a good job for me. She inspires confidence and when I had the procedure I was not apprehensive or nervous at all. Cost was a bit high, but it was well worth it since I wanted the best results. My smile is now perfect :-). I am very, very happy with the outcome. Most of all, I recommend Dr. Lopez for her concern and expertise.
