This is an excellent dental practice! Dr. Courtin is very smart, helpful, knowledgable, communicative, and competent.. The hygienists are similarly friendly, knowledgable, and very competent. The same is true of the office staff. I have had a lot of complicated dental work and I came to this practice when a close friend recommended them. I could not be more pleased and I recommend them strongly.

David S.

We absolutely love Olson Dental! Doctor Olson and Doctor Courtin are wonderful, kind and have a vast knowledge of dentistry and orthodontics. The hygienists are all very good, knowledgeable, and gentle yet effective. My whole family are patients and my kids actually look forward to going to the dentist! Thank you to the whole staff at Olson Dental for your friendly, helpful and welcoming environment.

Danielle C.

Wonderful staff and treatment- I've had so many dentists misunderstand my teeth or try to financially profit from them (claiming gum disease, a kajillion cavities, or whitening solutions that just don't work for me). This is the first place in a long time to make my teeth feel healthy and happy and well provided for. My uncle was my dentist growing up and it wasn't until finding Olson dental that I found that level of comfort.

You never know what your going to get when you re locate and have to get a new dentist. Olson Dental made it seem like I'd been a long time customer and made me feel comfortable. They did a great job and showed that they truly care about the patient and to address problem areas thoroughly .. I hope to stick around this area and continue seeing Olson dental for all my teeth related needs.

Paul S.

Dr Courtin was wonderful with my anxious son who had to have a few fillings. He is a very talented dentist and has a great bedside manner.
more

Stacey C.

I've been going to Dr. Olson and associates for about 18 years now. They are unfailingly kind and gentle... so much so that the dentist phobias I've carried from childhood have faded due to over a decade of positive experiences. The education provided by their hygienists is first rate, as well. My mouth is in better shape now than it was 20 years ago. . . And i no longer fear going to the dentist... A testament to excellent dental care, indeed. I highly recommend Dr. Olson and company.

Darva C.

I've been going here since 1989; never had a negative experience. Everyone is professional, helpful and friendly. I mainly interact with Dr. Olson and Registered Dental Hygienist, Mina, but everyone else has been top tier, too. No reason to go elsewhere.
more

Russell H.

I've just had a great experience while at Olson Dental! A persistent issue has been resolved and with a very positive outcome! The front desk staff went above and beyond to find a spot for me and found one due to a cancellation. Very genuine professionals who are highly qualified and who care!
more

Rey M.

Quite simply hands down the best dental experience I've had. Amazingly positive energy from the moment you walk in. Fun (but professional), gentle bedside manner by everyone. Really feel like you have a team taking care of you. Most notably they are great at education. I learned a ton that, at 34 years of age, I somehow did not know, including about proper flossing technique! Really can't imagine going anywhere else!

Erik F.

Excellent experience today for cleaning. Highly recommended

more

Laura V.

I have been going to Dr. Olson for several years now. Wish I had started going earlier. Dr. Olson is a wonderful dentist. Professional, highly competent and comforting. Always puts you at ease and the office itself feels cozy. Unlike many other dentists, he doesn't overprescribe and completes just the work that does need to be done and gets it done well. There is always good follow up if you need it. Everyone that works in the office, from hygienists to receptionists is great. Always courteous and helpful. Great experience and great care. Plenty of parking.

Toly

Everyone at Olson dental is so nice and caring. They are the best dentists I've had! The whole staff is great. They do great work and always make sure I'm comfortable. I really trust their judgement about whether a cavity can wait or needs to get filled. They are super patient with all of my questions and requests, and great at explaining what is going on. They are really considerate if I'm uncomfortable. They are really thorough, and take time during checkups to really look into potential issues or suggest treatment.

Michelle T.

My whole family and I have been going to Olson dental for many many years. The entire staff is always friendly and welcoming. Both Dr. Olson and Dr. Courtin are fantastic. They make all dental procedures as comfortable as they can and actually care how you are doing during the whole process. The dental hygienist’s are professional and thorough. They make each visit easy as well. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

Jan S.

I love Olson dental. There literally could not be a nicer staff or dentist around. I'm somebody who has limited mobility and the way that they have helped and supported me is so kind. They go the extra mile to make you feel at ease and on top of that they have new and innovative techniques to help with problems like TMJ so not only are they great with teeth but also jaw issues. I promise you cannot go wrong with this particular office I would highly recommend it.

Jc C.

Great service and expertise. They were also super accommodating with all my issues and last minute schedule changes too. I can only recommend Olson Dental!

Mark K.

Simply the best ! Why can I only give 5 stars when these folks deserve 10 or even 20 ! I have been visiting this office and the magnificent staff for decades as have my children. Their dedication to a calm, gentle professional approach to dentistry cannot be overstated. I actually look forward to each appointment because I know they want what is best for me in the long term.

I highly recommend Olsen Dental compared to WESTERN DENTAL ,if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know then, I don't know what else to say.

Angela M.

Lori is the best at cleaning my teeth. I visit three times a year, so I pay for one visit. That’s how much I like her. She is friendly and considerate and has great recommendations. Dr. Olson is always understanding and has taken great care of my teeth.
more

Joyce K.

So happy I found Olson Dental! Dr. Courtin and the whole team have been fantastic! I had a bad experience at the previous dental office I was at and when I came to Olson Dental and explained how anxious I was to be back at the dentist I felt very listened to. Everyone has been super great at communication and being extra gentle and patient. I also love all the reminders I get from the reception as I have a busy life and often forget about appointments.

Janna O.

I always get great dental care at Olson dental! The staff is friendly and efficient and the work they do is excellent.

Lisa M.

I just got my wisdom teeth out and it was the best wisdom teeth extraction one could ever experience. Dr. Olson and Karina were super quick and the entire operation was PAINLESS!! No anesthesia? NOT a problem! I couldn't feel a thing and Dr. Olson made sure to periodically ask how I was feeling throughout the whole process. If you need your wisdom teeth taken out, you will not regret choosing Olson Dental!
more

Erin S.

Easily the best dentist office in the bay. They genuinely care about you. The receptionists are super friendly and easy to talk to. The dental assistants are also super friendly and extremely gentle when working in your mouth. The thing that keeps me coming back is how gentle they are. My teeth don't hurt after an appointment and my mouth bleeds a lot less since I've been going to them. Awesome team, awesome work they do at Olson Dental
more

Keenan W.

My family has been with Olson Dental for multiple decades. The office is well-run and highly competent. I recently experienced an unanticipated dental condition and Dr. Olson and Dr. Courtin both rearranged their schedules to see me immediately and resolve the discomfort. Their office is clean and the staff is courteous and responsive. My life-long Dental Hygienist/Friend, Lori Taylor, is wonderful! Can’t give this office enough stars.

Dr Olson and his entire office are fantastic. He's been my dentist since 1995 and has always been spot on with his diagnosis of my dental needs and takes excellent care of my teeth. His front office staff are extremely friendly and helpful, particularly when it comes to figuring out what's covered by insurance for those outside of the norm expenses and his hygienists are the best. I have kind of sensitive gums and they always apply a topical before they start cleaning, which goes a long way for my comfort. A+++ in my book.
more

Diane S.

Regardless of where I've lived in the Bay Area, I have been going to Dr. Olson for 20 years. They treat you like family - always friendly and caring. Their top priority is clearly to make you feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible - very gentle. I have never found this kind of treatment elsewhere!
more

Frank L.

Everyone at Dr. Olson's office is always nice, kind and helpful. Their top priority is always their patients and making sure that they are comfortable. The atmosphere is always relaxed, inviting and welcoming. If you need any procedures done that might make you nervous and anxious, Dr. Olson and his staff will always sooth those nerves and make those procedures as painless and comfortable as possible. I recommend Dr. Olson and his staff 100%!!
more

Luiza N.

The place is cheery, pleasant and relaxing. Everyone is so friendly and seem to love working at the office. Doc Olson has the best disposition. Been going to him for over 15 years.

Brian G.

I have been going to Dr. Olson since about 1976. I'm one of his long time patients. I have lived all over the Bay Area and will not go to anyone else. Lori has been "my" hygienist for years and I appreciate the professional care both have given me. I have the utmost confidence in Dr. Olson and his staff. I've had the full range of procedures---cleaning, fillings, bridges, root canals, and even an emergency appointment or two. Absolutely recommend Dr. Olson--cannot say enough good things about him. My only complaint--I keep asking him to move closer to where I live, but he hasn't done it yet! :)
more

Janet S.

I've been seeing Dr. Olson for 30 years.  He's extracted my wisdom teeth and filled fillings.  He has a very gentle mannerism and asks how you are doing frequently.  I've never had a negative experience.  And now, my children see Dr. Olson as well.  He is very easy to consult with; I liked the plan he suggested for my 10 year old - retainer first to help correct the overbite and then braces once she is older and her baby teeth all fall out.  They have easy payment plans too. I would highly recommend Dr. Olson for your family's dental needs.

Maggie B.

Dr Olson, Allana, and team are AWESOME!!!! I am on a business trip to San Mateo and had a crown come off. The team here squeezed me in at the last minute, took care of my crown and were some of the most friendly people I have ever met. The Doctor uses words like please and thank you, the staff were genuinely caring for my situation and they made me feel like I was the most important person at that minute. KUDOS!!! I now have a new dentist, just 2k miles from home.

Jon W.

My family refers to Dr. Bob as painless Bob.  He always works at making you comfortable and help you with your dental health.  I have been going to Olson Dental for many years and can't imagine a better general dentist!.
more

M B.

I had a very bad experience when i was a teenager. I still carried that experience with me to this day and im in my late 20s. I knew i needed work done to my teeth but i was so very scared. A friend booked a cleaning appointment for me and i went in, i got to meet Dr. Olson and he examined my teeth and said i really need work done asap!! Its an understatement when i say he is the best and his staff are the BEST too!! Not only did he care but him and his staff made sure i was comfortable. Dr. Olson and his staff are the BEST!!!! Do not check any other dentist, this is the real deal..
more

Vaiola K.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Olson for over 20 years. We have been willing to do the trek from SF all these years because we've never found anyone else (including the wonderful staff) with such a gentle /painless manor, practical and pro-active approach to dentistry (not insisting on expensive unnecessary procedures, etc.), genuinely caring, friendly and clearly foremostly concerned with making their patients feel like family.
more

Deborah Q.

Absolutely the best dentist out there. I wish I had found him sooner because I have been to a few other dentist that were just in it for the $, Dr Olsen is super friendly and really seems to care.
more

Jesse M.

I was referred to Dr. Olson by a co-worker and it was the best referral I've ever had. After years of having jaw and teeth alignment issues, Dr. Olson came up with an orthodontic plan to resolve the issue on my first visit! He has been phenomenal and all the hygienists and office ladies are friendly and wonderful. If you are looking for a dentist/orthodontist, come here.
more

Lisa J.

Dr. Olson has been my dentist for 31 years. I was referred by someone who lived in San Mateo and needed a dentist and she said two people who didnt know each other both gave her his name. Dr Olson is a very caring person and always asks how you are doing while he is working on you. My whole family also thinks he is a great dentist. His whole staff is great.

louise d.

I've been going to Dr. Olsen for almost 20yrs for all of my dental and orthodox needs. He and his staff are top notch. I would highly recommend their services.
more

drew r.

Dr. Olson has been our family dentist for many years. I wouldn't go anywhere else.Like most people, I am not so thrilled about someone poking around in my mouth andcausing pain. Dr. Olson is extremely concerned about keeping you comfortable and will ask throughout the procedure if there is any problem. He is also interested in you as a personand will try to get to know how you're doing, not in a nosy way, but just out of concern and interest. He is also very polite with his staff and they all have smiles on their faces which I takeas a good sign. I also trust him not to do anything crazy or something that is not needed. He isalso understanding about payment plans and insurance delays.
more

Carol E.

Sorry I haven't reviewed him sooner. Dr Olson has been my dentist since the late 90s I think. I have rarely met a more polite and caring person, and in the medical profession this is rarer yet!  When he's working on you he's always checking to make sure you're doing OK. He is not pushy and respects your choices.  I have always had good hygenists here too.
more

Andrea H.

Best dentist ever!He's very personable, thorough and thoughtful. He sincerely cares about his patients. Very nice downtown location, quaint office and professional staff. You cannot even feel that he is administering a shot. This is truly his passion and it really shows!
more

Paolo F.

My dentist was on vacation and the office referred Dr. Olsen to me.  I had to have a root canal. EVERYONE was kind and gentle.  Dr Olsen did a great job and the assistant was thoughtful.  If I didn't love my dentist, Dr. Mololly so much I'd make the switch.Thank you for your great care.
more

Fran N.

I have been a patient with Dr. Olsen since he opened the practice. He is the best dentist ever! He is excellent at giving shots(and I hate shots). He is very gentle and patient. I am very impressed also with the charity work he and his office staff does all over the world. His practice has gone to third world countries and offers dentistry to those who have never received any dental care...amazing!If you are looking for a truly caring and kind dentist with a great office staff, this is the place.I have also recently used the new dentist to the office Dr. knueppel. He is almost a clone of Dr. Olsen to the extent that he is also great at shots, and extremely kind and compassionate! I would highly recommend either dentist!
more

C. W.

I love this place the staff is really friendly,and the team is great. Very loving, caring, and supportive environment, and yes I'm talking about a dental office. Dr. Olson is a great dentist.

E S.

Went in for my regular teeth cleaning and my crown came off during the process.  I had likely bitten something that had made it lose so I was fortunate that I was in the dentist office when it cam completely off. I figured I would live with a gap in my teeth for a while until they could schedule the reattachement of the crown.  Boy was I pleasantly surprised when they moved me into another room after my teeth cleaning and reinstalled my crown.  I left the office with my crown secured and only with about 20 minutes behind in my daily schedule.  I believe that this level of service is only possible because this office has been around for a long time ( I'm a client since 1985) so they have no learning curve from growing pains like younger offices and they have long-term employees that know how to keep you happy.
more

George B.

Dr. Olson is the best at giving injections, his technique provides a painless injection.  He goes very slowly and takes him time to be sure you are numb.  I have also had orthodontic treatment with the Damon system and I can't believe how quickly my teeth moved.  I am almost done and it has been less than 18 months.
more

Bill T.

I have been through a few dentists and my search has stopped at Robert Olson. Dr. Olson has the BEST most professional and friendly demeanor while he works on my teeth. He walks me through every step of my appointment and consistently asks me how I am doing. I recently had a chip in my front tooth filled, and my tooth actually looks better now than it ever did!His staff is incredibly helpful and always friendly. This is the best dental office around, trust me and try them!
