Sandra Shin is a rare find in the dentist world and I highly recommend her. In fact I think this is my first yelp review, which says something.
Both Dr Shin and her staff are extremely respectful of your time and go out of the way to help you understand what's going on and what can be done. Never once has she jumped at pushing further work unless absolutely necessary.
In an example of how interested and supportive Dr Shin is, when my father was visiting from out of town and had some unexpected tooth pain arise, Dr Shin made room in her person schedule to fit him in immediately and did a fantastic job. Long after he went back home, Dr Shin still asks how he is doing.
If you are looking for a dentist in the Bay Area, start here. Their office is super easy to get to, lots of parking and extremely clean and modern, an important touch in dentistry.
