Growney Maurice Jr, DDS

Twenty years ago, Dr. Growney rescued me when my jaw was locked due to severe TMJ problems. I’d seen several other practitioners who told me there was nothing that could be done. But Dr. Growney refused to accept that conclusion and sent me to a surgeon who was able to treat me. In less than a year I was able to yawn again. You won’t find a more self-​effacing brilliant guy in any field. Or one who has more integrity. He makes me laugh every time I’m there.

Dr. Growney is an exceptional dentist. Highly trained in every dental procedure imaginable. And you can not beat his «bedside manner.» Completely puts all level of patient and/​or anxiety at ease and thoroughly explains all options and procedures. The staff follows suit and is friendly, with the highest customer service standards, second to none.

The best Dentist! I have been going to Dr. G. for a long time. I started when he was in Mission area. All his staff are Wonderful!

My family has been going to Dr. Growney since he was in the Mission over 25 years and we are still going strong with him. He is the best dentist in SF and when it comes to a dentist, I would only go to the best, which he is. I never ever feel any pain when he does any procedures to my teeth. He is really cares about your best interest and is very honest. The staff are wonderful, friendly and pleasant. They are always very welcoming. I have referred friends and now they cannot imagine going to another dentist. I highly recommend Dr. Growney. You will not be disappointed.

Dr. Growney is such an amazing dentist. I cannot recommend him more highly, I always tell anyone I know to go there if they want a dentist who has excellent workmanship and someone you can trust. Dr. Growney and his staff genuinely care for their patients and make you actually look forward to going to the dentist. Thank you Dr. Growney and staff for providing me with such a good experience.

Amazing service, great front desk. The staff is fantastic and accommodating. Pam is the best hygienist — Dr. Growney is very thorough and great. Great experience. Cant wait to go back!

I have been seeing Dr. Growney for 30 + years. The best dentist ever!!! All staff in the office are wonderful. Dr. Growney is a wonder. He obviously takes great pride in his work, and is as up-​to-​date in the advances in his profession as you could possibly hope for. And his manner is confidence inspiring and calming. You couldn’t do better.

The best ever! I have been dealing with massive facial pain for 2 years. I saw many doctors before him and none could helped me. Doctor growney helped me, fixed me. He is so awesome! I am always going to be extremely thankful. He literally saved my life (and I am not being dramatic). Thank you so much Dr. Growney!

My husband has been going to Dr. Growney for years, and I am someone who tries to avoid going to the dentist unless I absolutely have to. He introduced me to Dr. Growney’s office, and I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Growney and his staff. Really positive experience.

love this place!!! My aunt has been working for Him for years. He is such a great Dentist super kind and gentle and he has a great sense of humor. I live all the staff there :)

I have been going to Dr. Growney for almost a decade. When I first started going to him, my teeth were not in good shape. He did not lecture me about my poor dental habits, but encouraged me to change my ways. I listened, and I spent the cash and bought an electric toothbrush and started flossing every single day. My teeth look better and my gums are in pretty good shape. The office staff is amazing. They are kind, considerate, and compassionate. I no longer dread going to the dentist, and my cleanings are pain free! I thank Dr. Growney and staff for helping me get serious about my dental health. I cannot say enough good things about this place.

This review is long overdue but I still had to get it out there: Dr. Growney and his staff are the best!
My husband’s family has been coming to the office for years and I was introduced to them earlier this year. I needed a deep cleaning and had been dreading it since it’d been a long time since I’d visited the dentist — I was deathly afraid but not since visiting Growney’s office! Everyone was very patient, caring and attentive to my fear of the chair. I can now say that I’m not afraid and would actually gladly go back.
Thanks everyone!

I’ve been going to Dr. Growney’s office for 7 years and they are outstanding. They have treated me like family since my first appointment. Every time I go see Dr. Growney he has a new story to tell or a funny joke and he always makes the appointment as easy and painless as possible. He is extremely intelligent and passionate about his job and that makes for a more enjoyable experience. Everyone in the office is extremely nice and helpful and I can’t imagine going to anywhere else to take care of my teeth.

Every one of this office’s 5 star reviews is richly deserved, I am not going to tell you it’s fun to go to the dentist, but this gets as close as humanly possible to it. Dr. Growney and his staff have spared me, I feel, considerable unpleasantness and expense. If anyone were to tell me to my face there was a better dentist I would take two steps back and shift my wallet to the front pocket.

I had one dentist for nearly 20 years. She was the best and I was very disappointed when she retired. Since then, I gone through 3 dentists because none of them made me feel comfortable — in many ways! I received Dr. Growney’s name from my insurance company and from the minute I called to make an appointment to the time I left his office after my first appointment, I knew that he was going to be my next permanent dentist. HIs staff is great they were all pleasant and treated me well.

Awesome dentist-​I had a previous dental office take out my metal fillings without my permission and charged me a lot of $$ because my insurance didn’t cover porcelain. On top of that, the filling broke two separate times, and they told me I had a deep pocket that could not be fixed. Well, in comes Dr. Growney, honest and funny-​told me he could fix it, and he did! Minimal pain, very pleasant staff –all of whom are SF natives. I think I finally found a decent dentist!

I had been in agony for th e last 4 days, it would be just my luck that I get a toothache right before a holiday weekend. To be fair, its my own fault, my teeth are in terrible condition, but this pain has prompted me to start resolving those issues. I called around to so many dentists over the last 4 days, nobody would see me last minute, or nobody was open. This was my last hope, and now I must say, I should have came to him first!
The lady that answered the phone was very nice, I told her I was in pain, and she found a time to fit me in the same day. I was a nervous wreck, I have major anxiety and fear around dentists. So I get in, and the lady who does my initial x-​ray is also very nice. I am so sorry that I did not get all the names. Then I meet the man himself. He was very friendly, he did not judge me for my poor teeth, he just talked about things to make me comfortable, but he was also honest with me. You could tell he was trying to put me at ease and that is appreciated.
He kept checking my comfort level, and absolutely did not start until he knew I was okay and that I wouldn’t be in a lot of pain. I had to get a wisdom tooth extracted, well rather, the roots of the wisdom tooth because thats all that was left. I honestly was numbed up so well that I didn’t feel it, aside from the fact that I knew he was in there.
You can tell that the entire office cares, and they want whats best for you and they want to help you. I will certainly be going back to him to fix all the other issues in my mouth now.

It scares me that I have finally met a dentist I really like. I have terrible teeth and had a tricky problem that needed a resolution. He knew right away what to do. He is a gentleman, really smart, and very compassionate. I recommend him without resolution, especially if you are fearful of dentists.

5 Stars… I wish I can give him 10 stars! Not only is the best dentist in SF, he’s pretty funny and cares alot about his patients especially ME! Dr. G has been my dentist for the last umpting years… whenever I need to see him, he is available!!! He is my knight in shining armor… he really saves me from the excrutiating pains of toothaches! What I love about his work is… he takes the fear out of that dental chair! He is gentle, professional, knowledgable and most of all, he listens… I really appreciate when medical providers listen!!! He listens whole heartedly and does all he can to take care of you! His staff is always very friendly, kind and professional! Keep up the great work Dr. Growney!!! The Nauer Family loves you!

Five stars says it all. I had a bad experience with another dentist and really needed a new one who would listen to me and have a conversation with me, instead of sticking his/​her hands in my mouth so I couldn’t talk.
(You know the type: dentists who love teeth but not the people the teeth are attached to?)
Dr G listened, evaluated, discussed, made a plan *with* me for next steps, and I can’t say how relieved I am.
The office staff is open, friendly, helpful, calming — definitely recommended. The previous reviews are very accurate.
