Michael W Hing, DDS

Been coming to this office for years and by years I mean more than 15 years now and every time I look forward to my visit! Dr. Hing and Dr. Watters are very good at what they do and they genuinely care for their patients’ health. I’ve been to other dentists when I moved away but when I came to Dr. Hing’s for a cleaning (because I was in the area) he noticed that the other dentist didn’t do a very good job on my fillings. Long story short he fixed my teeth. And I wouldn’t trust anyone else to work on them. I travel 8 hrs just to get a cleaning from him. On top of that he cares for his staff and his prices are reasonable. Check him out!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Hing for 16 years and he’s great. Also, his partner, Dr. Waters, is a gum surgeon, so between the two of them, they’ve got nearly all dental and oral health issues covered!

I would not trust anyone else with my son and I. Dr. Hing truly has a passion for his work and it shows everytime we smile!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Michael W. Hing for over 15 years and would not go to any other place. I consider Dr. Hing my family dentist. He provides an extremely clean and professional environment where you feel safe and comfortable. His staff is courteous and friendly. You will always get a greeting from everybody there and a friendly smile. When it comes to dental work, he is by far one of the top dentists in San Francisco. You can tell when someone is passionate about their work, when they are constantly investing in newer equipment, dentist tools, etc. in order to provide the best experience for their patients. I build up a lot of plaque and stains in my teeth, and regularly go for my cleaning. I always feel satisfied after my cleaning knowing that my teeth have been thoroughly cared for. I appreciate how hard working Dr. Hing and his staff are. I recommend him highly and so do his other patients, you can tell by all the good reviews!

This is the BEST dentist I have ever had. Gentle, kind and articulate. I only wish I found him before a dentist with the initials E.H. My family and I are so blessed to be in Dr. Hings hands. You make a dentist visit something to look forward to for scaredy cats like me! :)

Dr. Hing is one of the best dentist I’ve been to for the past 6 years. He really cares about his patients and their health. The office staffs are very friendly, caring and professional. You are not just a patient but a friend. I highly recommend Dr. Hing if you are seeking an honest dentist that truly cares about you.

Love Dr. Hing! I’ve been to lots of dentists in my life and he is by far the best. He is quick and efficient and does a great job. I have TMJ so the dental office is one of my least favorite places. But Dr. Hing finally made it a better experience for me. You should definitely use him. We already recommend him to everyone we know.

I’ve been going to Dr. Hing for 11 years and he is hands down the best dentist around. I live on the other side of town and he is the *only* doctor that I am willing to drive so far for. When my insurance carrier changed and no longer covered him, I paid out of pocket. He is the best!
I’ve had enough bad dental experiences to know a gem, and Dr. Hing is a GEM! He manages to fix things without being painful. He’s up to date on all the latest dental stuff. When I ask him something I’m confident that I’m getting the best advice and I can stop worrying. He’s fun to talk with. But most of all, he just does an amazing job. He is a complete perfectionist and will not rest until the job is done and done perfectly. My husband had 2 different dentists «fix» a cavity that was causing him temperature sensitivity and neither were able. Dr. Hing fixed it on the 1^st try. I’m the only one I know who raves about my denstist — I always recommend him. And his office staff is great too!

Simply the best. A perfectionist. Yet kind, affable, gentle. I can’t imagine having anyone else be my dentist after the last 19 years! He has a gentle hygienist, a great friendly staff, and even has his own periodontist right there in the office so you don’t have to get referred elsewhere! I like that he sees one patient at a time, he doesn’t jump around and he takes his time making you feel like you are the most important person in the world. No comparison.

I have been going to Dr. Hing for years based off of a friend’s recommendation and he is excellent. I have gone to really jenky dentists in my HMO before with old (like 1970s old) equipment. After trying Dr. Hing and paying the difference on my own, I upgraded my dental insurance to get him covered 100%. He is very thorough, does all the cleanings himself, is very meticulous and detail oriented and very patient. I had to get a crown and while he doesn’t do the crown himself, the crown that I got wasn’t quite perfect and he said no problem, he would tell them to fix it and have me come in again to get it permanently put in place because he sais he knows how particular he is and didn’t want me to settle. Love that. Just got my teeth cleaned again today — A+++!

I must confess, I have avoided going to the dentist for years. Why? As a child I had a terrible experience and it stuck.
About a year ago a tooth chipped and I had no choice. I was schedule to travel just 2 days later. Dr. Hing was highly recommended to me by several friends and had me fixed up in time for my trip. Since that day, my mouth has had a full overhaul, including a crown. The care and price are always right!
Almost a year later, I will visit Dr. Hing tomorrow for a yearly cleaning and no longer have a phobia. He is professional, communicates what he is doing and most importantly extremely gentle.
Thank you Dr. Hing!

I’ve had such terrible luck with both my teeth and finding a dentist until I saw Dr. Hing. He has been my dentist for 3 years now and by all accounts, I can’t imagine any better dentist:
1. He’s a perfectionist. He is very meticulous and incessant in making sure the crown or cavity filling is perfect or optimal.
2. He’s extremely honest. You get the sense almost immediately from him that he is a dentist not because of the money but because he loves it. He never prescribes unnecessary treatments. Moreso, some dentist would rather do the rootcanal or other intricate operations themselves rather than referring to a specialist to maximize their revenue. He has a network of equally great specialist that he refers his patients to for such operations, if need be. Again, another clear sign that he’s not out for the money but rather for the well being of his patients. Once you realize that, all the fear and hesitation of going to see a dentist just disappears.
3. I absolutely love the fact that he does the teeth cleaning himself. Even though this definitely a money losing operation for him but if you choose to, you can have your teeth cleaned by him instead of the dental hygienist. Nothing bad about the hygienist, I never met her but I like the fact that he does it himself.

Dr Hing is the best dentist I have ever been to. I had to get a filling and I am usually very afraid but he was so calm that the whole process just felt like a routine cleaning. His office is very clean, and they always start your appointment on time. Dr Hing is also one of the nicest people I have ever met and always has great things to talk about.

By far the best dentist that I’ve ever been to. Dr. Hing is amazing.
His staff is courteous and friendly. The office is quite and easy to find. Plus, there’s plenty of parking.
But it’s the dentistry that I love. He seems extraordinarily concerned about the health of your teeth. And he takes great care of his patients. Just a fantastic experience.

Dr. Hing is the best dentist I have ever gone to! He works fast and has a flexible schedule. I’m not sure how he does it, but each visit to Dr. Hing’s office involves far less pain for me than any other dentist I have ever gone to. His receptionist is also amazing. She is possibly the most organized person I have ever met, and she will alert you instantly to any billing, insurance or scheduling peculiarities (although there likely won’t be any). They also really take the time to get to know their patients. I highly recommend Dr. Hing’s office!

Caring and gentle, Dr. Hing is also thorough and skillful. He helps you care about and for your teeth. He’ll take the time to explain your situation and options so you know exactly what you’re getting into.
The receptionists and assistants are friendly and professional as well. Before an appointment, they’ll call and remind you about it, as well as follow up on any changes in your insurance coverage.
Highly recommended!

Dr. Hing was referred to me as the ‘Dentist of Dentists’ by my friend Ben. Ben is the only one in my friend network that actually remembers and LIKES his dentist. Dr. Hing is awesome, gentle, kind, caring, and professional. (I’ve always been deathly afraid of dentists too, ever since I had a fowl root canal experience with another dentist.)
In the beginning, I needed a dentist and went to 1800-​Dentist. Don’t ever ever ever do this. The referred dentist office had great photos on the wall that he took himself. But I instinctively felt that he dentist hacked way too much off my tooth for a root canal. And I don’t think I needed that root canal. I never questioned dentists before so he went through with it. Also, the visits with that dentist were spaced so far apart without keeping any of my dental insurance plan in mind. So not only did he leave me with half my tooth, but I also couldn’t afford going back! (I honestly felt this dentist was better photographer than a dentist.)
So Dr. Hing basically helped me out by finishing the job right and within my budget. Ultimately, I ended up losing that tooth due to an infection about a year later. And I think Dr. Hing was more disappointed when I lost the tooth than I was.
Other good points:
Not only does Dr. Hing welcome questions, but he actually cares about saving every milimeter of your every tooth!
He has a steady hand for numbing you.
His receptionists are easy to work with.
And if the job is too complicated or requires a specialist, he refers you to one within his network who are just as qualified if not, more instrumental to the overall protection of your teeth. (Not like previous dud-​dentist, who thinks he can do everything and anything for a buck.)
Anyway, see Dr. Hing. He’s good. (PPO Aetna)

A friend asked me if I could help her — she needed a specimen for some x-​ray-​shots for her dental assistant training. Sure thing, I was happy to help. Her boss, Dr. Hing, checked the shots and gave me a free consultation afterwards.
He even spotted some decay under an old filling. Had him replace that filling the following week and am very happy with his work — he has high attention to detail and is an all-​around nice fellow, too. With docs like him, people shouldn’t be afraid of the dentist any more.
