Beverly Presley Nelson, DDS

Our family has been going to Dr. Presley Nelson Dental office for many years and find her (and Dr. Fung) extremely good, proficient, and professional and their staff very friendly, helpful, efficient and accommodating. We had been to many dentists prior to Dr. Presley Nelson (some moved, some retired, some passed away) and we have been so fortunate to find this dental office! We are extremely pleased with both the care and quality work we have received (and at very reasonable prices)! I would highly recommend Dr. Presley Nelson to all ages (our children started going to this office by the time they were 8) – she’s highly competent and patient with all our questions and concerns.
We also want to mention that the cleaning that we get by Kathleen is excellent and also recommend her highly!

BEWARE — ^^ SCANDALOUS & UNSANITARY ^^
[ EMERGENCY — HIGH ALERT ]
When I first arrived at Beverly’s «Dental Cave, « — 1749 Taraval Street,
in San Francisco, I noticed how exceptionally small /​tiny the so-​called dentistry was.
I entered the «super-​small» waiting area, and I was greeted by Beverly Nelson’s manager, who dressed like a field-​farmer /​vegetable picker, with a large bandana around her head. The small manager receptionist desk, and the patient sitting accommodations, occupied the same super-​small area.
The uncomfortable L-​shaped, wooden-​bench, that only seats four people, causes everyone’s knees to touch each other, and you have to pull your legs inward, very close, so someone can walk by– and allow the small-​narrow front door to open. Also, there are nasty /​filthy /​seedy old-​café, front window curtains. I am now highly suspicious of the high-​bacteria in the air, and lack of sanitation of the dentistry instruments, that are used in the patients mouth. Including injection-​needles.
****** There is absolutely «NO» — — - Disability Wheelchair, Assistant Walker, etc., accessibilities in this so-​called dentist facility. According to California State Law, this
so-​called dental office is not in compliance.
OKAY! now I am entering the «Super-​Narrow» dentist chair area, that lacks proper space between patient chairs — — — and does not have adequate partition dividers, to prevent «flying food particles, filling shavings, bacteria etc.,» from creating a «full blown cross-​contamination,» breeding area. Oh! What an enviormental health tragedy!
I also observed, that the X-​ray operator, did not protect himself from the ongoing exposures, and did not wear a «radiation build-​up» badge monitor.
^^^ NOW! — — – The experience, that I have encountered, from Beverly Presley-​Nelson.
1) She deceived and lied to me, when she stated to me, that she was
knowledgeable in «Partial» impressions & Repair» procedures.
2) I had an appointment —– I went in and she attempted to make an impression, she realized that she did not no how, and she began referring to this procedure, as a «STUDY.» She placed excessive «wax» on my chin, outer cheeks — and smeared it all over my teeth and inner cheeks. I was highly discussed. I told her I was here for a partial impression, not a «STUDY.» She acknowledged to me, that they are the same. Oh! What a profound liar she is! I was in the dentist chair, over an hour.
3) What Beverly Presley-​Nelson was doing — — — — was using me as a «Practice Dummy Patient,» —- without my «signed permission.» She also stated, that she made the «STUDY» wrong, and that it was not satisfactory, to send it to a licensed «Dental Laboratory.» (It was done totally wrong — including the wrong material)

4) What she had done was totally unethical and illegal. She did this to acquire
an illegal «Study Model,» for herself — only, which also FAILED to do. Her plan was to make a excellent impression partial, so she WOULD NOT have to send the impression to the «DENTISTRY LABORTORY.» She was trying to bypass the Dental Laboratory, so she could «Pocket the Money, for herself.
5) Beverly, does not have a California State License as a Dentistry Laboratory practitioner, for new or reproduction partials, clasps, etc., etc.
6) After this major deceptive action against me — — - Beverly had the nerve, to plan a second SCANDALOUS act —- to sent me a fraudulent «financial bill,» for an unauthorized, illegal «PRACTICE STUDY,» that was not a impression. I came to her so-​called dental office, to have a Impression made — Only!
7) Beverly’s «Advertised» Dental Procedure Services, are 45% FRAUDULENT, to attempt to lure you into, her so-​called dental office.
Beverly is 100% INEPT.
Beverly has also refused, to give me my «Paid-​in-​Full X-​rays.» She is holding my «personal X-​rays,» as hostage/​ransom, and will only release them to me, if
I give her money for an illegal and unauthorized, «PRACTICE S T U D Y. «

and Nothing Less! ******

Dr. Presley-Nelson’s practice has a very welcoming environment. Everyone is very sweet and meticulous. I have seen Dr. Presley-​Nelson, Dr. Fung, and Kathleen (the hygienist) for the past 5 years now. I never knew the correct way to brush AND floss effectively, but upon siting in their chair, I was shown how to improve on my oral health! The clinicians here really educate you to improve your overall health, as well as answering all the questions and concerns in mind. They give you options and they do not twist your arms and be aggressive about doing this or get this done unless it is really urgent.
I love how the Dr’s prioritize what needs to be done to save my tooth as well as keeping my finances in mind!
When anesthesia is given, the assistants here distracted me by applying acupressure to my hand and ears.
During fillings or long procedures, I was given comedy tapes to listen to and it was nice!
It has been tough finding a good doctor, but I’m glad i encountered this office!

BPN put headphones over my ears to block out the negative comments I didn’t need to hear («5 and bleeding»). Then during any injections she had her helper pinch my ears to distract me. Very good.

I have been seeing Dr Beverly Presley-​Nelson and Kathleen, her dental hygienist, since around 1988 when I lived in SF. Since I moved away to the South Bay 25 years ago, I have continued my 2 – 3 times per year trek to see her and her excellent staff. Now my adult daughter sees her when home from college. She is friendly, thorough, honest, reliable and cares about the comfort and the education of her patients. And laughing through procedures while listening to comedy routines on headphones is the best. I cannot imagine going anywhere else!

Dr Fong (same practice) is awesome. Besides providing high quality dental care, she is very patient and thorough and takes a lot of time to explain dental issues and treatment options in great detail. She is genuinely concerned for her patients’ well being. Office staff and dental assistants are also great. The office is very low key and a relaxed, comfortable, and friendly environment.

Very nice office staff and dentist, but some problems with both treatment and attitude.

Doctor Beverly Presley-​Nelson is a very sweet lady. I’ve had the chance to shadow and work chairside with her two summers ago. She taught me a lot about dentistry and also showed me many tips and tricks too! One of my favorites is when she gives anesthesia. As she is giving it, she gets her dental assistant to pinch the patients ear and also apply pressure to the area between the patient’s thumb and index finger. For some reason, this completely removes all the pain from the shot! She also offers a wide variety of CDs that you can listen to as she does her procedure.
This dental office is probably the most friendly office I have ever encountered. The staff members are all so friendly and they tend to their patients very well. The staff members joke around and have fun, but when it is time to operate on a patient, they become serious and get their job done in a timely fashion. Kathleen and Chisako are also very friendly and helpful.
If you are looking for a very friendly dental office to get your teeth checked out, I highly recommend Beverly! She’s a very sweet and gentle lady who I can never get tired talking to. She has inspired me to continue on my path of becoming a dentist myself!

Let’s face it, having someone else’s hands in your mouth is not a walk in the park, but at this office, it’s a lot like comedy in the park! I don’t need much done with my teeth, mostly my cleanings by Kathleen (goddess of pick and polish), and my exams by ‘Doc’ aka Beverly. Been coming to them since 1989 because they always do such good work. Kathleen is gentle, thorough, and laughs easily. Dr. Beverly is an educator and a humorist at heart. Need I say more? Just wish they we’re a ‘in-​network’ provider with my PPO but se la vie! Go… you won’t be disappointed.

Doctor Presley-​Nelson is serious about comfortable dentistry. My daughter has moved to Louisiana, but waits for her visit to San Francisco to get her teeth worked on.
Doc keeps a library of audiotapes, music, classic radio shows, and audiobooks to keep you distracted on headphones while she drills on you.

OMG! I came in for a swollen gum, and thought that I was just going in get an x-​ray taken of the area. I was called because Dr. Presley –Nelson had a cancellation. I have been going to a downtown dentist for the last 5 ½ years, who was just convenient because of where I worked. I got let go from my job, and had no dentist to go to. I went to the office, filled out the forms, and was seen instantly! No wait at all like downtown. An X-​ray was taken of the area, and she told me that I needed the area to be cleaned out. She gave me the option of doing it today, or rescheduling. I am a very nervous, anxious and apprehensive patient, but since I was there, — –what the hell. I had ALWAYS HAD NITROUS, AND VALIUM before any dental treatment… She does not have any of this, BUT… Her injection, after the topical was PAINLESS!!! Her assistant and her combined do a great job of numbing the area with a «Pinch system’ She does the injection, and the assistant does random pinching (up and down) of your earlobe, while she holds the space between your thumb and forefinger as well. Dr. Beverly also starts to sing the star spangle banner at the same time, hitting the high notes which ALSO takes your mind off of the injection! I can not tell all you phobics out there to GO TO HER!!!
GO! GO! GO!!! P. S. Her hygienist, Kathleen takes the most easiest, gentlest full mouth set of x-​rays I have ever had!!!
