Christopher A. Patterson, DMD

Dr. Patterson is a great dentist. I recently had a filling done by him and was very impressed with his skills. He got me numb and comfortable right away. The filling feels perfect! I would recommend him to anyone in need of dental care.

Dr. Patterson and his staff are AMAZING! I was referred by my insurance company to the Union Square Dental Group and selected Dr. Patterson. I was running 10 minutes behind to my 8:00am appointment and was a bit scattered. The entire staff was so warm and welcoming (they even provided towels when they overheard me state that my water bottled had leaked all over my purse). Once I met Dr. Patterson I was blown away. He was so patient and kind. I love getting my teeth cleaned and always have questions about xrays etc. He answered all of my questions enthusiastically. He is also very sensitive to the patients needs and assists in finding the best options that work for them understanding that what he thinks is best might not be best for everyone and is happy to find alternatives. I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Patterson and his staff. I left the office loving my clean teeth and feeling much more knowledgeable about my teeth in general. A BIG THANK YOU! I will be referring my friends and colleagues while I eagerly await my next appointment!

He is the only dentist I recommend in SF!

Dr. Patterson is awesome, there is really no other way to put it. When I first moved to SF I went to 6 different dentists on their opinion about braces/​Invisalign. Each one told me something different, tried to up-​sell me on different treatments and products, and weren’t really pleasant to deal with. I went to see Dr. P and he was the only one who actually worked with me. He won’t try to sell you on expensive treatments, and will try his best to actually save you money. His work is perfect. No pain, all work done professionally, and he’s just an all around nice guy. If you need a new dentist or are looking for a new one, call Dr. Patterson and you will happy you did.

Great dentist! He’s smart, personable, and very good at what he does…

My 90 year grandfather recently had an emergency and needed a dentist in a hurry. We were in Hawaii on vacation when he broke his front tooth biting into a piece of hard candy. We had a 2-​day stopover in San Francisco before flying home to Chicago and Dr. Patterson was able to fit him in as the first appointment of the day even though it was last minute. Grandad was extremely impressed with the new crown that Dr. Patterson made for him, it matched perfectly. It was made and fit all in a morning appointment. The doc was professional and caring towards Grandad, he felt very comfortable.

Dr Patterson is awesome. Very accommodating and thorough in his work.
Makes going to the dentist an enjoyable experience rather than a chore.

Great dentist who is detail oriented.

Outstanding service by Chris. Great listener and I can corroborate with others that he isn’t pushing unnecessary procedures /​products on you (and if he did I would trust that it was necessary). Excellent service from top-​to-​bottom.

If a dentist tells you that you need to have a tooth extracted and you still give him 5 stars on Unilocal,you know this guy must be great. Couldn’t agree more with the reviews below which all state the best possible rating. Dr. Patterson knows exactly what he’s doing, pays attention, is a great listener, honest and has a super relaxed and calming demeanor. Very happy with every appointment I’ve had there so far, just unhappy he needed to refer me to a surgeon :/.

Super good guy and seems to really know his stuff. Best dentist in SF. Saturday appointments are great. Young guy hustling. Highly recommend Dr. P! Office and staff are decent enough too.

Really pleased with Dr Patterson. His approach is super relaxed yet thorough in his work and explanation of everything. He doesn’t do more than needed, but explains the trade offs and timing of what should be taken care of down the road. Gentle approach, let’s you know what’s going on. He’s a 49er fan, but hey, I’ll still give him five stars.

Just had my second visit with Dr. Patterson — he’s awesome. I hadn’t been the dentist in 4 years before seeing him so was naturally preparing to be berated and scolded on my first trip back to get my teeth checked out. Instead he was very laid back and professional, talking me through what the state of my teeth was and the work he was going to need to do. He took the time to get to know a bit about me, asking where I was from etc. which I appreciated. Overall awesome dude and definitely appreciate his attitude and skills. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone. He also seems to have a killer pants selection for what it’s worth.

I needed to find a new dentist after getting a new job and I am so glad I found Dr. Patterson! Not only is it close to my work and home, but Dr. Patterson and his staff are great! They are very friendly and helpful. I love that they open early as well! I don’t mind coming to the dentist now and won’t be changing dentists anytime soon!

I decided to listen to the reviews here on Unilocal and sign up with Dr. Patterson. I am so glad I did. He is just the kind of Dentist that I have been looking for! He has a wonderful «chairside» manner and a calming voice which I really need because of my morbid fear of dentists. I explained to him my abnormal fear of mouth pain as well as my previous experiences with dentist. He paid very close attention to my body language when he was working on me and he noticed my twinges and gave me extra «pain juice». That made him a winner in my book! I am looking forward to a lasting relationship.

Cool guy to talk to, did a good job cleaning my teeth, didn’t guilt me too much for mediocre flossing habits :)

I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Patterson based on reviews and ratings that I found on Unilocal and other medical websites. It was just for a 6-​month visit/​cleaning so I figured that if I didn’t have a good experience I could just find someone new 6 months later.
Dr. Patterson turned out to be awesome! He’s young and relatively new to the dentistry world but he is as professional, experienced, and skilled as any wonderful dentist I have ever been to. He spent a long time with me, chatting, getting to know me as a patient and a person. He addressed all my concerns and made my care feel truly personalized. I have recommended him to friends and family and will continue doing so.
In addition to his office in the Marina, he also practices out of an office in Union Square.
Dr. Patterson is the best!

Dr. Patterson and his staff are outgoing and enthusiastic, and the atmosphere in the office is relaxed, genuinely friendly and very cool. There were all great about answering questions and went out of their way to be helpful. And Dr. Patterson did a job great cleaning my teeth. Highly recommended

Incredible service!!! Today was my first time with Dr. Chris and I can say it was the most enjoyable Dentist visit I have ever had. I was referred by a friend and I’m glad I was.
Definitely recommend!!!

I was a little nervous going in to see Dr. Patterson as it was my first time seeing a dentist in two and a half years, but the good doctor took care of me. He met me at the door, told me a joke, and we were on our way. Cindy, the hygienist, was nice as can be and Dr. P told me what he was doing every step of the way. I was going to dentists way before it was the hip thing to do, but they’ve never told me what it was they were doing, exactly. The office is conveniently located and I do believe I have found a dentist for life!
Also, he set me up with a whitening kit because I’m a new patient. You can tell Dr. Patterson and his staff care.
