Ryan Z Zhao, DDS

Dr Zhao is an excellent dentist. I like the fact that he is does not beat around the bush and explains the procedures before doing anything. He is careful not to recommend unnecessary treatments and I get the feeling that he genuinely cares about my health.
Aside. He remembers everything, even casual chit chat from 6 months ago :).

Doctor Ryan Zhao is the best Dentist I have ever worked with.
Ryan is most caring and skillful. During treatment I do not feel any uncomfortable even though my teeth is very sensitive at all times. Besides regular treatment, he also explains the causes of the situation and approaches for myself to maintain daily and also patiently shows the correct way to brush and floss. He is a nice person who smiles all the time.
I totally recommend him to all my friends and anyone else.

Dr. Zhao is amazing. I’ve had several dental cleaning and a deep cleaning appointments with him. Appointment setting is easy. I’ve hardly had to wait, even when I showed up late. He is very patient with your questions, and ensures you have all the information you need about your dental health. I have no hesitation recommending him to anyone looking for a dentist.

Dr. Zhao is awesome! I haven’t been to a dentist in ~4 yrs… I know I know I’m so embarrassed… I’ve had so many terrible dentists in my life, so after moving to SF I just procrastinated in finding a new dentist for as long as I could, and I am so glad that I looked on Unilocal for some guidance! Since my teeth haven’t been cleaned in like 4 years, Dr. Zhao took the extra time and effort to make sure my teeth my throughly cleaned. Fantastic dentist, now I look forward to getting my teeth cleaned with him every 6 months!

A good friend recommended Ryan to us and we wanted to pass it along after our first visit today. It’s officially our first visit to a dentist in the States and found the experience really great. Ryan was really caring and careful and explained thoroughly everything to us, from which I learnt a lot about specifics in dental care and the theory behind it. He spent totally three hours on checking and cleaning my husband’s and my teeth. Ryan makes you feel that he is not only doing the job for a living but he really has a passion to fix the problems patients have so as to have a healthier life.
Highly recommended!

I’ve recommended Ryan Zhao to every person I’ve ever spoken to about a dentist. I even suggested to my my dad, who lives in on the East Coast, that he visit Ryan when he visits California rather than use his regular dentist in MA.
Ryan is by far the most caring and competent medical professional I’ve ever worked with. He treats you with so much respect and care by personally emailing with you, taking your coat himself when you come into his office, asking you about your health, your job, family, etc. when you come in. He gives you glasses so that you don’t get blinded looking up at the light while he cleans your teeth and so spittle doesn’t hit you from the cleaning tool. He asks if you’re comfortable.
He remembers every detail and has totally transformed my attitude about going to the dentist. He sends birthday cards and personally calls to check up on you after doing any procedures. I just cannot say enough good things about Ryan.
My fiancé and I love him and can’t wait to use him for our kids one day!

This is my second time visiting Dr. Zhao’s office and I’m pretty sure I’ve found my lifetime dentist. This man is one of the nicest guys and he’s truly a professional.
Twice he has accommodated my complicated work schedule and has been genuinely happy to see me.
I highly recommend him!

Dr. Zhao is extremely attentive and detail-​oriented. He helped me fill several cavities with so much care and patience, and also recommended great specialists when I required advanced procedures.
With a warm and personable presence, Dr. Zhao recalls even the smallest details in your previous conversations, and even gave me a birthday card the last time I visited! I highly recommend his service.

I highly recommend Dr. Zhao. He cared about every patient, he even remembered what I do for living. He does his own cleaning, no dental assistant or hygienist! What a pleasure to be treated with respect and very minimal wait time!

I highly recommend Dr. Zhao. He is a wonderful and competent dentist — very friendly, gentle, and thoughtfully answers concerns/​questions. I have been very satisfied with my appointments so far. It’s also very convenient to set-​up an appointment online and I love that he’s available on Saturdays!

Dr. Zhao is great. The only reason that I am not giving him 5 stars is that sometimes I am weary of the 5^th star. My whole family goes to Dr. Zhao, including my mom and my 3 year old daughter… He is wonderful and patient with all age groups, he is thorough, competent and fair. He is a little slow, but that is because of his attention to detail. I highly recommend him!
