Patient Reviews

I had done veneers and invisalign in 2009. During that time, Dr. Arellano and his whole office staff provided excellent services. They accommodated my busy working schedule and still ultimately followed the treatment plan. In terms of the procedure, I am very pleased and happy. Dr. Arellano did meticulous work with his gifted talent. His patience and well manors made a person like me smile graciously. It's beyond "Thank You" that I can express myself on how much I appreciate Dr. Arellano. I like Dr. Arellano's high level technique skills, people skills, and calm friendly office environment. I always tell my friends how good he is. Just look at my beautiful teeth. The staff is also very professional, friendly, and I couldn't ask more than what I had experienced
with each of them.

My procedure was a repair for a chipped bonded tooth. Dr. Arellano and his assistants were very attentive during the procedure, and I was satisfied with the result. Dr. Arellona provides a comfortable environment that is friendly, and he always answers my questions whenever I have procedures done. I think the staff is very professional and I appreciate the reminder phone call I receive before my scheduled appointment. Overall, I am satisfied with the service I receive, both from the staff and Dr. Arellano.

To say that I am pleased with the results you made possible would be an understatement. I am thrilled. Your good work has changed my whole appearance. I am proud of my teeth now and find it hard not to smile. I cannot believe that after only a few weeks and such a short, painless process I have such a healthy beautiful smile. YOU ARE THE BEST! (obviously not just my opinion either --- professional photographer at the dance competition passed me in the hall and stopped just to tell me what a beautiful smile I had.) Read More

I can't let another moment go by without thanking you for the work you did on my smile this year. These veneers are so organic, so subtle, and so effective! This was truly money well spent. The holiday photos have just come back, and in every one of them, my smile is bright and confident-exactly what I asked you for! And these photos were taken in a casual situation, without controlled lighting - just imagine what this will look like on-camera in a professionally lit context! Read More

It all started in the Buena Vista Cafe when the salad fork got stuck between my two front teeth and damaged a front filling. We had returned to live in the city so I had no dentist to turn to. We consulted the list of our insurance's approved dentists and we opted for the closest to our USF area, a Dr. Arellano, who saw me the same day and thus began what is now a six year relationship.

The overall look of my teeth is much better than before and I feel great every time I smile. Thank you for the superb work you have done for me and I will be very glad to recommend my friends to you should their needs be the same. Read More

I had meant to write you sooner and express my satisfaction with my beautiful smile. The porcelain veneers that you bonded to my top front teeth look wonderful. I have received many compliments from peoples on how good they look and I myself feel so much more confident about the appearance of my mouth. Read More

Dr. Arellano and his staff are consummate professionals. I've been a patient there for many years and found that the quality and attentiveness of the work they perform is exemplary. I drive from Marin to see Dr. Arellano.

Dr. Arellano is amazing. I am the BIGGEST baby when it comes to pain and he is just so gentle and quick and his work is amazing. I've had horrible teeth my entire life and am always in need for something to be done. I've lived in San Jose for 3 years and I cannot ever picture going to another office. Way worth the drive! Everyone in the office is fantastic and professional!

When I went to Dr. Arellano I had been told by a Periodontist that I needed to lose three teeth due to gum disease. I was also in constant pain. Dr Arellano acknowledged my panic and grief and suggested laser surgery. Now, two years later, I still have all my teeth and I even have bone regrowth on some of them! Debbie is my hygienist and she is fast, gentle and lovely to chat with. She also recommends home care specifics. I have gotten over my terror of dentists thanks to the amazing and caring staff at this office. This also includes Mae, the incredibly friendly and personable receptionist. I cannot recommend them enough...

I just moved here from Seattle and this was my first visit in 10 years to a different dentist and I have to say, hands down, the best dental experience I have had!

Great staff and Dr. Arellano took his time and did a thorough examination and answered all my questions.

If you are looking for a new dentist, this is your person!!!

I've been seeing Leo for over 11 years and he's done all kinds of good work for me. He's easy to talk to, explains all the options, and seems to keep up with the literature: always a good sign in a doctor! I recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Arellano is the most careful, caring and professional dentist I have ever visited. His office is clean and modern and his staff is courteous and attentive.

His prices are fair although I'm of the "I don't care just hurry up and don't hurt me school".

I think I have found my "forever" dentist!

And this review is based on over 8 visits during a 15 month period.

I've been seeing Dr. Hahn and Dr. Arellano (same office) for over four years, and they are both fantastic. Very patient, gentle, and careful to explain everything to you as they go along so you understand what's being done and why, and you know how to take care of your teeth to keep from having any problems in the future. Seriously I know all dentists kind of tell you what's going on, but Dr. Hahn and Dr. Arellano are more in depth than any other dentist I've been to, and I never feel like I'm inconveniencing them by asking lots of questions. They're careful to work with my insurance so that I get as much coverage as possible, and I never feel rushed at their office. Also, parking is easy, and the receptionist is very friendly too. All the way around, a good experience. I just wish I lived closer so the drive across town didn't take forever.

Hands down the best dentist I've ever had. Thanks to a former co-worker's recommendation, I've been in great care for the past 2 years. Like most, I am not a fan of dentists & the pain they seem to inflict on me, but Dr. Arellano is soooo goood. I usually brace myself every time I have to get a shot in the mouth, but just yesterday, he gave me the BEST SHOT EVER! He was elated that I told him too. It was super gentle. I asked if he changed his technique (not that the other shots were ever horrible... just not this good), but he just stated that different parts of the mouth require different levels of care due to sensitivity. In all other respects he is also awesome. And, his staff is amazingly nice & on point... Mei especially & I forget the dental assistant's name that usually helps Dr. A (a young & very sweet Latina/White? chickadee). I also have Debbie as hygienist, and she is cool beans. She tells me how it is and what I need to do to make it better.
