Armando Chang, DDS

Dr, Chang is so cool and so nice and such a great guy besides being an awesome dentist!

I needed to see a dentist urgently today and reached Dr. Chang through 800Dentist. I am very pleased with every aspect of the treatment I received from Dr. Chang.
It was a great experience and excellent treatment. Dr. Chang took time to help me understand what to expect prior to beginning treatment, checked in with me all throughout the treatment process to be sure I was still comfortable, and called me a few hours after the appointment to see how I was feeling and if I had any questions or concerns.
Dr. Chang is kind, caring, gentle and thorough. It was immediately clear that I was in good hands. The atmosphere in the office of Dr. Chang’s practice is relaxed and personal. I felt comfortable and confident prior to beginning the treatment and very pleased after the treatment had been completed.
I would recommend Dr. Chang!

Dr. Chang is compassionate and considerate about the patient in his chair. He wants to make sure that you’re comfortable during the entire procedure. He performed a cleaning and filled some cavities for me – they were educational experiences, as he’ll show you what he’s doing to your teeth if you care to know :)

I have been coming to Dr. Chang for over 20 years and found him through 1−800− dentist. I have had bad dentists in the past who hurt me and were not personable. i have had extensive dental work over the past 20 years root canals, crowns, bridge etc and I have never had a problem with Dr. Chang. I trust him and the fact that he does everything himself without the assistance of dental hygienists, etc makes me know I am in good hands. I have referred over 10 people to him who have also had great experiences. He is patient, calm and explains everything. I would recommend him to anyone wanting a gentle dentist without the added fluff of a fancy office!

I’ve been going to Doctor Chang for 15 years and I had introduced him to my husband who has been with him for 10 plus years.
Armando is trust worthy, he will not do work on your teeth that is unnecessary He is easy to talk to and always does a thorough cleaning. My husband and I now live in the Peninsula, but we will trek over to San Francisco just to keep our dentist.

Seems a bit odd to rate a dental experience with 5 stars (it isn’t like this is fine dining), but Dr. Chang is great! He doesn’t rush you and you don’t feel like you’re just getting processed through the appointment. I frequently feel like doctors/​dentists don’t care and are not trustworthy. Dr. Chang doesn’t make me feel like this at all. One year ago, I got my first filling ever and Dr. Chang did a wonderful job. I appreciate that he takes the time to confirm appointments himself! Dr. Chang is an excellent dentist!

A terrific general dentist one of the best in San Francisco. He is so great because of his thorough exams and cleanings and practical approach to dentistry. Also, he is highly ethical and won’t destroy your teeth or give shady diagnosis of your dental health, just completely trustworthy, calm and reliable.

Dr. Chang (or as I refer to him sometimes ‘Armando’) is fantastic. Have been seeing him for 11 years. I recommended him to my mom and she has been seeing him for 7 years. I recommended him to my partner and he’s been seeing him for 2.5 years now.
He is extremely gentle, extremely affordable, has a great bedside manner, and is an all around great guy.
No bells and whistles at this place. No watching Bravo while getting your teeth cleaned. No teeth whitening pushing. No sales pitches. Just a nice, clean, simple facility, with the best (and least painful) dentistry around. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My wife and I have been going to Dr. Chang, since 2001. He is the only dentist my wife has stayed with during our 21 year marriage. All of the reviews are accurate. We are waiting for Dr. Chang to return from an extended absense. Ready for our bi-​annual cleaning…
Also, we kinda miss him.

Okay, so I admit it: I love the dentist. I’ve never had a cavity, never needed an extraction or root canal or braces, and apparently accumulated little tartar in the seven years (yes 7!) since I last saw Dr. Chang (I haven’t gone regularly for lack of insurance … and urgency). That said, I’ve seen unpleasant dentists in my lifetime (how hard is it to clean teeth? well, apparently, it is a challenge for some folks). After Dr. Chang, I will never go anywhere else. For $ 200 (including Bridge toll; BTW, there’s free 2 hour street parking one block over on Larkin), I got x-​rays and a cleaning by the best best BEST dentist EVER! Personable, knowledgeable, funny, and a total cutie pie, Dr. Chang is quick and handles everything himself: from scheduling appointments to all dentistry. He’s admittedly not computer/​Internet savvy, so no webpage or emailing appointment or other information, and you may have to leave a voice message before speaking to an actual person (Dr. Chang is receptionist also), but it has never seemed like a hassle. I’ve referred several friends and acquaintances to Dr. Chang with rave reviews about even those dental procedures that make me cringe. I second S. B’s review: I wish he were my doctor for everything! Oh, and if I recall correctly, he’s Cubano by birth and so I suspect also bilingual. ¡Se habla español!

Yeah, what they said!
Armando Chang is a fantastic dentist. He’s got a great sense of humor and terrific chair-​side manner. He works quickly, efficiently, explains the procedure completely, informs and educates, and yes, does it all by himself!
I went to see him on the recommendation of a friend, and I wouldn’t hesitate to send others to him as well. You don’t need to fear the Dentist any longer!

My husband and I had been going to Dr. Chang for 10 years. Dr. Chang is attentive, very professional and a master at making you feel at ease – which so important in the dental office.

Super nice guy. I’ve been going to him for years and he’s always very gentle and patient. He does everything on his own — check in, cleanings, x-​rays, etc.

Yeay, Armando is being reviewed on Unilocal.
Armando has been my dentist for let’s see… carry the one… about thirteen years. A very sweet and gentle man. Even when I moved to the east bay and he wasn’t a part of the health network I had, I still kept going to him (just a little less frequently). He makes good conversation and always remembers what I told him last time I saw him. More importantly, he is very thorough with his cleanings and is really concerned for his patients. I like him because he will not pressure you for proceedures you don’t need or can’t afford. I can’t recommend him enough. Armando will not disappoint.

Dr. Armando Chang is the best dentist in the whole wide world. You leave feeling super clean and he makes fun conversation during the cleaning and asks all the right questions that can be answered with a uh huh or nuh uh. He gives you a toothbrush when you leave and reminds you to floss more and better. He remembers what kind of toothbrush to give you. I’m a compact soft. *SIGH* The only down side is that he isn’t the in the health plan from my new job. Even though I’m not a patient anymore, he still returns my calls and quiets my fears and distrust of my new dentist. «Give him a chance,» says Dr. Chang. What a sweetie. 10 STARS for you Dr. Chang! I miss you!

I had a really great experience with Dr. Chang. I’m the kind of girl who has a million questions for her doctor/​dentist, and he humored me… and was able to address all of my questions. He is very attentive, and unlike other dentists’ offices where the hygienists do all of the cleaning work, Dr. Chang actually cleans your teeth. Super nice guy, though I feel bad because it seems as though he doesn’t have any administrative help…
The office is small — so if you call and you get the answering machine, Dr. Chang will call you back. It’s just him working everything!!!
P. S. A good selection of magazines too. :-) Don’t you hate it when you go to the doctor’s office and there is no People or Us magazine?

A very nice guy, and super squeaky clean when done. (Some flossing guilt involved.)
