Alice P. Moran, DMD

«I began my career as a dental hygienist and went on to earn my Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from the Medical University of South Carolina. Prior to specializing in periodontal care, I practiced general and cosmetic dentistry for over nine years. This experience gives me a well-​rounded view of dentistry, particularly when it comes to diagnosing and treating gum disease, dental implants and restorative procedures. For me, being a periodontist is very rewarding because it allows me to help people enjoy improved dental health and more attractive smiles.»

«Today’s periodontal procedures are more innovative and patient-​friendly than ever before, with methods minimizing treatment time and providing outstanding functional and esthetic results. In order to keep current with these new advances, I am actively involved in several professional organizations and complete many hours of continuing education each year.»

I gave Dr Moran and her staff five stars because from the moment I walked into her office her staff made me feel welcome and they let me know that they would be able to help me with my dental issues. I have horrible teeth and I’m often embarrassed that I have not made them a priority in my life. I didn’t feel the shame that normally goes along with my dental visits when I was at Dr Morans office. Dr Moran and her staff mapped out a plan for me and within one month I now have a smile I can be proud of and not have to hide it from everyone. Thank you to Jenny for making this happen for me it’s definitely has been a life changing experience. A huge thank you to Dr Morans entire team for taking care of me when I was sedated I was a bit feisty and again they treated me with nothing but respect.

It had been 3 years since my last dental visit and I was a little hesitant because I knew I also needed my wisdom teeth out, and had previously had a not-​so-​good visit somewhere else. After having an exam on a Wednesday, they were able to fit me in on the following Friday for my wisdom tooth removal. The procedure could not have gone any better, everyone was so nice to work with and so accommodating. After the extraction, I hardly need any pain medicine, the swelling was very minimal, it was overall as good as the experience could be! While I was a little bit nervous and hesitant, I trusted them to do a good job, and they did a fantastic job! I was repeatedly told there was nothing to worry about or to be nervous about, and the whole thing was a breeze. Dr. Moran is a very pleasant lady and I will definitely be coming back! Thank you again to everyone! Highly recommended to check out :)

Dr. Moran and her team are wonderful! I had a scaling done with her and it was painless and comfortable. I’ve never had a more comfortable dental visit in my life. The head receptionist, Jenny, is a miracle worker as well. She knows how to get things approved through insurance and makes sure you are taken care of! Wonderful experience! I love this office!

I have been seeing Dr. Moran for quite some time. Had full mouth Laser Surgery a couple of years ago and have been going back for my follow ups and perio cleaning. She found an area that needed re treatment and took care of it immediately.
Her staff is always pleasant and very easy to work with. They bend over backwards to accommodate my schedule.
Highly recommend!

Dr. Morgan, was amazing. She provides gold standard care, and enjoys educating. I just think she is a doll, and her staff is so friendly!

Minus ten! The dentist was fine but (long story) her office manager (Jenny) pulled some very shady maneuvers with the insurance billing. After many frustrating and time-​consuming phone calls, the insurance company finally agreed to reimburse us the amount she had deliberately and sneakily overcharged us and go after her directly to get the overage refunded, much to our relief. He behavior and attitude were so deliberate and calculated we were stunned. I am amazed she is still employed there – because her attitude is one of the worst we’ve ever encountered. I just noticed that the numerous negative reviews of this business are all coincidentally (ha!) on the last ‘not recommended’ page and all the good ones are on the first page. They obviously advertise with Unilocal.How NOT transparent could Unilocal possibly be? How stupid do they think we are?

One of the best decision I have EVER made. I did the laser gum surgery several years ago and Dr. Moran and her staff was AMAZING! I’ve had issues with my gums bleeding my whole adult life and instantly saw the benefits. I went from a 5 spacing to a 2⁄1 spacing within a year! You will not regret going to Dr. Moran. Very little pain and if you can afford it, DO IT!!! I still go to her office for regular teeth cleanings and she nothing short of a MIRACLE!

I found Dr. Moran while searching online for a periodontist. When I called to make an appointment, Ginny, the office manager, took time to thoroughly answer all my questions. I have seen Dr. Moran several times now for procedures. She is experienced and professional. I completely trust her, and she is very honest and forthright. I now go to Dr. Moran for all my dental care. I would highly recommend Dr. Moran to anyone looking for a skilled oral surgeon and dentist. Her whole staff is wonderful and take such good care of their patients.

I have been to Dr. Moran for laser gum treatments and her hygienist for cleanings.
After having several traditional gum surgeries in San Francisco, I can say Dr. Moran and her laser are the way to go. NO pain, little or NO recovery time, a NO brainer. Most importantly, my gums are now healthy!
Everyone in the office makes you feel at ease and I no longer dread seeing my periodontist. I would highly recommend Dr. Moran to anyone needing professional care and who also appreciates a doctor who keeps up with the latest in periodontal techniques.

I had seriously receded gum lines in a variety of areas. When I called to set up an appointment for an evaluation and treatment plan, Dr. Moran’s staff was friendly, professional, and efficient. They showed great flexibility in scheduling my appointment. From the moment I entered her office, I was greeted warmly and professionally by all personnel and, of course, Dr. Moran. She has a wonderfully light touch and is very attentive to my comfort level. She even has blankets in the office for those of us who will be in the chair for a while. Her exam is very thorough and she has a hygienist there at all times taking notes on what the Dr. describes about my gums. We came up with a plan and, once again, comfort throughout the process is paramount. Dr. Moran is so highly trained in the latest techniques that she used this new kind of laser to get grafts to build up my gum tissue. Everything healed so quickly that I was quite pleasantly surprised. In addition to all this, Dr. Moran’s office staff is SO knowledgeable about working with insurance companies, that it made my life SO much easier. In addition to all the above, it doesn’t hurt to mention, by the way, that it is a very attractive office, very thoughtfully laid out, with clients and functionality in mind. I’ve worked with Dr. Moran for a couple of years to keep my gums healthy and in all that time, she has conducted herself CONSISTENTLY in the most honest, caring, professional, and well-​trained manner. I recommend Dr. Moran to the highest degree possible. Thank you, Dr. Moran!

My experience with Dr Moran has always been amazing! I first came to her for Laser gum surgery which turned my dental health around. I’ve had work done from all of her staff and they are very gentle and extremely considerate. I am proud to say I would recommend her as one of the best dentists/​oral surgeon I’ve ever been seen by. Thank you Alice and thank you to her great staff!

I had what Dr. Moran said was urgent gum surgery with «the laser». I am not a fearful dental patient, but she jerked my mouth around, caused tremendous unnecessary pain and this was an overall horrendous experience! I hear she trained in the Navy, so maybe she’s used to causing pain and having her patients tolerate it, but I don’t see any reason for this to happen. My results were poor and now I’m spending thousands of dollars to correct the mess she made. Be cautious here. I would strongly suggest you find another periodontist. This was an awful experience and I don’t want another person to go through what I did.

I have had dental work, gum surgery and x-​rays done here.
Wow! Dr. Moran and her team of specialists are amazing. I find myself needing dental work quite often and this group goes above and beyond to help me. Painless is probably the best way to sum up my experience. I find myself hanging out after my appointment talking with the awesome friends I’ve made at Dr. Moran’s office!
