I was writitng a review for an endontist Dr. Brattesani had referred me to (my friend told me about yelp and advised i should write reviews when good things happen) when i thought i should write a review for him too. I met Dr. Brattesani 23 years ago after a dental mishap from another dentist. I was terrified of going to the dentist. Dr. Brattesani helped me get thru the anxiety by having me watch TV, using electricty when giving me novacine and holding a crystal. It seems silly now, but because of him i no longer fear dental work. I have always liked that he is a straight shooter and gives you all of the details. And with me because i was on a tight budget, i was always given a, b, c scenerio, knowing i was free to choose the cheaper option, and what consquences may ensue. I like that he is on top of all of the new technology and I really fell that he cares about my teeth (an me too :) ). I will be his patient until he retires!

I am in the process of having well over $5,000 worth of major dental work completed including root canals, and bridgework. Dr. B has been highly professional and well qualified in creating a pragmatic & realistic plan of action. His office staff has been fabulous in working with my two forms of insurance and creating a plan that allows me to maximize working on the most serious issues first to ensure I avoid expensive more serious problems down the line. The Marina Pacific Dental office staff are fantastic with scheduling appointments quickly, including helping to schedule root canals w/ a specialist. Wonderful staff, very clean, very kind team of people! Highly recommended!
I plan to keep Dr. B as my dentist in SF. I previously lived in Petaluma & Sausalito, and have been very impressed with his office, practice, and professionalism.

I broke a molar, waited too long and then saw DR. Brattesani. He helped me understand the issues (consequences were grim) and facilitated a quick root canal with an endodontist. Then he did the crown work, good equipment, good hand technique and willing to educate me about the parts of the process, this I much appreciated. I liked the staff, and as hard as it is to talk of enjoying having a crown, it was nessesary work and a good experience

Dr. Brattesani got me to care about my teeth by making them less of a mystery. He told me their numbers and the state of each number. I had a lot of problems. He told me we would take it one step at a time and all the work he has done has been beautiful. I am very happy with his services.

Dr. Brattesani is a good dentist with state of the art equipment. BUT, he's extremely pushy and came across as selling elective procedures.

He has all the latest technology and performs superb work, though it comes at a high financial cost. He's performed crowns, fillings and an inlay (using CERAC) on me, and they've all been virtually painfree. The dentists to whom he's referred me for wisdom teeth extractions and root canals have also been first rate. He's very good at explaining the options and the procedures though he can be very outspoken / non-PC on non-dental matters - I'd hate to work for him!
Wrt the front-desk they're mainly friendly and all greet you by name as you walk around. I tend to pay cash the whole time and then get reimbursed by my insurance company, and I occasionally have hiccups with the reimbursement. Whose fault that is I don't know, but the dental office are very quick to step in and call the insurer when there's a problem.
The facilities are very modern - TV's and cameras everywhere, and all the staff communicate using earpieces - very high tech!

Dr. Brattesani and team are truly dedicated to their patients. I have been in and out of many dental chairs and plan on staying in Dr. Brattesani's chair surrounded by his talented team for a long time to come.
Dr. Brattesani sets the bar for highly-skilled dentistry. He invests heavily in the latest and greatest technology and he beams with enthusiasm while explaining exactly how it will be implemented to remedy your situation. Dr Brattesani always tells you exactly what is going on--you'll never be in the dark about what's occurred or coming next. This approach is critical for nervous patients like me. Perhaps what's remarkable is that I don't feel like a patient, but a cared for old friend.
Recently during routine work on a Friday late in the afternoon Dr. Brattesani discovered I needed a root canal. He called a dental colleague and arranged for the procedure to take place immediately. Dr Brattesani waited for me to return to his office from the root canal so he could finish up his work on my mouth- and stayed until 7:30pm. Now, that's outstanding care.

Dr. Brattesani and his team are the best. They not only handle the dental work with care and to the highest standard, but they handle insurance claims efficiently. I can't tell the difference between his crown and my own teeth.

I have had veneers and other white crowns done and am completely happy with them. I can trust them and love this doctor and his staff because: 1. They are great, caring people who are good at what they do, 2: They have the best in technology, 3. They will do the right thing for the patient, 4. They do what they do best and refer for other special areas to the best doctors for those things. They do not try to do everything, nor try to be everything therefore they are the best at what they do, 5. I can completely trust them.
