John C Noakes, DDS

I really enjoyed my first dental experience with Dr. Noakes. He was friendly and positive, took time to answer my questions, and made me feel taken care of. His hygienist in the Embarcadero 2 office, Herbert, was friendly, smart, gentle, cheerful and encouraging. I feel very lucky to have found this office!

I went to Dr. Noakes yesterday (at his office at Embarcadero Dentistry in SF) for a chipped front tooth. He did an AMAZING job… tooth looks perfect and you can’t even tell anything happened to it.
I was very nervous about the procedure, but he went slow and explained everything as he went along which really calmed my nerves. Super nice guy and a great dentist. Highly recommend if you ever need any cosmetic procedures done.

My dad and I have been coming to Dr Noakes for over 10 years, I am originally from Danville and my dad still lives in the bay area, and even though I live in southern California, I continue to see Dr Noakes whenever possible. He is truly a great dentist with the very best attention to detail, knowledge and professionalism. His office is impeccable, and his staff is by far the most friendly and wonderful I have ever come by in a dentist or doctor’s office. I feel so lucky to have such a great dentist — especially given the crazy horrible stories you hear sometimes! He is reliable, honest, and truly cares about his patients.

Dr. Noakes is fantastic! I had moved out of town for seven years. The day I returned to the Bay Area, I called his office needing to be seen for a broken tooth. He got me in immediately, and fixed my tooth PERFECTLY!
He’s a really nice guy and makes me feel comfortable in his dental chair. He does great work and is very accommodating. His staff is fantastic as well. They are really sweet there.
If you are looking for a dentist who cares about you and does a great job, Dr. Noakes is your guy!
Thank you Dr. Noakes for taking great care of my teeth :)

Dr. Noakes is the best dentist I’ve seen in 3 years.
After my old dentist retired in 2007, I’ve been on a constant hunt to find a dentist that is genuine, friendly, and provides good patient care. I hadn’t found one until Dr. Noakes.
The last 2 dentists I tried before Noakes informed me that I had several cavities that needed fillings ASAP, and that I should seriously consider getting invisalign. If you know me, you know that my teeth are nearly perfect – I get compliments on them all the time. I swear I think these dentists were trying to make a buck off a 27-​year-​old with crappy school insurance.
Dr. Noakes was the first dentist since my old one that didn’t make me feel like I was in a salespersons office. He told me upfront that these «cavities» weren’t really cavities at all – just etchings on the enamel that wouldn’t turn into cavities so long as I continue to floss and get cleanings regularly. Unlike the others, he didn’t tell me I needed «fillings asap…“this made me really trust him and his advice. He even took the time to give me a little lesson in dentistry – something no other doctor had done!
I also liked the rest of the staff. Lori was really fun! The rest of the staff was very pleasant, and seemed to really enjoy their jobs. I loved talking to them.
Also, the office sits in the backyard of the creek, so you can see ducks out the huge windows. It’s very pleasant and really put me at ease.
I can’t say enough about Dr. Noakes. I already recommended him to my parents and friends. I am definitely going to make him my long-​term dentist!

Dr. Noakes was the first dentist that really had a solution for my front teeth. He really explored some innovative solutions that not only gave me a beautiful smile but one that didn’t require implants or bridges. I get compliments on my teeth now with people saying they wished THEY had beautiful teeth like mine. The staff are very personable!

I’ve been a regular patient of Dr. Noakes for the last 9 years and I have never had a bad experience. I have had two root canals, multiple fillings, and my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Noakes and after the service I received, I wouldn’t trust my teeth to anyone else. He is competent, and fast. He answers questions thoroughly and in an easy to understand way. His front desk staff is friendly, patient and accommodating. His hygienists are professional, thorough and friendly. His assistants are personable, talkative, and really nice. The setting is relaxing, and all the exam rooms look out over a beautiful wooded creek. I’ve never waited past my appointment time or felt rushed while being there. Dr. Noakes and his staff make a visit to the dentist as pleasant as it can possibly be.

I love Dr. Noakes and his staff. I’ve been a patient for the past year, and can’t say good enough things about them. Lori has cleaned my teeth a few times, and is fun, and easy going. Dr. Noakes is very thorough, and I appreciate the oral cancer screenings he does, which is something I’ve never received from past dentists. I’m very regular with my cleanings, and have been to a few dentists in the past, but I’m definitely sticking with Dr. Noakes. They don’t try to push products, or sell services. You get what you go in for, and that’s that. They are as good as it gets!
