Eldon D Young, DDS

I wish I can give this place a good review. I chose this location because it’s very close to home. But their service does not grasp my attention. This was one time I was scheduled a dental cleaning and the receptionist called to leave a courtesy call for my appointment. At the time I was at work so I didn’t answer. The following day I called back confirming my appointment and Kelly, the receptionist said to me «Oh Emily, you didn’t respond back on time. I gave your appointment to another client» that’s when I was super furious n yelled back saying how can you give my appointment away. I took work off just so I can go to this appointment. That’s when she called back several minutes later to «give my appointment» back. This office isn’t real good with their hours either. There were a couple of weeks when I wanted to book an apt. But they’ll tell me they’re closed because Dr. Young needs to run personal errands. Very inconvenient but I think I’ll take my business elsewhere.

I agree with all the other reviews. Nothing but the best from Dr. Young and his associates. I’ve been going there 15 years and they’ve been great.

nice office, nice staff, I can’t really see what they’re doing in my mouth, but it seems like they do good work.

Dr young is nice and smiles all the time. However the receptionist isn’t as nice and patient. After my treatment, She became impatient when I was consulting on why the expense was higher than the price she told me last time. It should be very common question regarding the expense and she could just explain or show me the detailed expenses. The lost score is mainly for the unpleasant feeling got from the receptionist.

Dr. Young and his staff are fantastic.
I have been going to his office for a few years now for routine cleanings, an implant, and even an emergency cosmetic fix on my front teeth from accidentally trying (and failing) to walk through a glass wall.

Dr. Young and his staff are fantastic! I have been going to him for cleanings and check-​ups for about the past 4 years. He and his staff are all extremely professional and friendly. I have never felt like he tried to push additional & unnecessary services or products on me (unlike other dentists that I’ve had in the past).

Dr. Young and his staff – from Kelly at the front desk to the dental hygienists – are so great! They are very gentle but thorough when I go in for my bi-​yearly teeth cleaning & check up. I’ve had to get a few fillings done (:/​I was cavity-​free for 26 years… ahh!), but everything went smoothly. Everyone working here has great bedside manner as well, super friendly. I love going to Dr. Young’s office!

Dr. Young is a great dentist. Staff was very helpful and professional. Hours aren’t too good, I had to take a half day off but they spend plenty of time with you (2hrs with me) and go through all the recommendations step by step.

If you want quality dental care with on-​time appointments from a dental practice that doesn’t try to up-​sell you on unnecessary procedures, then this is the place to go!

Best dentist ever! Dr Young is extremely gentle and talked me through everything he was doing. He also did my cleaning and gave my teeth extra TLC. Everyone was super friendly including the girl at the front desk and his assistant. The facilities were also impeccably clean with the latest and greatest technology. I’m one of the few people on earth that loves going to the dentist and I take my dentist seriously. Dr. Young is by far the best out there :-)

This is the first time I got to pick a dentist as an adult and got a new job with new benefits. I said goodbye to my childhood dentist and needed to find one in SF.
I made an appt over the phone and the receptionist sounded so sweet and nice, she also calls you if an earlier space opened up due to another patient canceling.
The office is conveniently located right off of the N-​Judah line and since it’s in a quiet neighborhood, street parking should not be really hard. The office looks really really new and you can tell it’s a converted house in a residential neighborhood. The waiting room and medical areas are spotless and light fills the whole office. A little water fountain bubbled water out producing a SPA-​like environment.
I LOVE that each dentist station has a little TV angled perfectly so I can watch TV while the staff does whatever they need to do. The dental assistants are really nice and skilled. Since I was a new patient, they had to take tons of Xrays… it’s all digital– very high-​tech compared to my old dentist office.
Dr. Young was really friendly and talkative however he only saw me for about 5 mins to do an exam, since he found no cavities (score!) — he quickly went back to another patient and handed me over to the hygienist.
Is it totally crazy that I’m looking forward to coming back for my 6 month check-​up!!!

Dr. Young is the BEST dentist I have ever been to. Him and his staff are extremely kind and professional. He worked very well with me and my nervousness. I honestly never felt more relaxed going to a dentist to have work done. He took his time with me to make sure I was not in pain. He started my appointment exactly on time, he never overbooks. His patients seem to mean a lot to him. His assistants are also extremely kind and caring, making sure you are never in pain or discomfort. You can relax in your own area of the room and watch whatever you like on TV. When drilling for cavities, Dr. Young made sure to take a break every 30-​seconds or so to let me relax my jaw, and check-​in on whether or not I was in any pain or not. When giving me my shots, he gives you a smaller initial shot to numb the area, and a few minutes later gives you the rest of shots — at which point you cant feel the shots anymore.
I’m not sure what else to say besides that he is really the best dentist I have ever been to.
Thank you Dr. Young & staff!!!

Best dentist I have ever had, hands down.
I moved the California from the East Coast after a few rough years in college, knowing I needed to have a few fillings.
My dentists in the past have been ruthless and seem to forget when they are poking and proding around in my mouth that there is a person on the other side of that mouth with nerve endings and feelings. Though I was never traumatized, I never really looked forward to going to the dentist.
Never the less once I had insurance I took to Unilocal to find a local dentist. After reading the reviews, I decided to give Dr. Young a try. The Unilocal reviews could not have been more on point.
He is SO GENTLE and conscious of his practice. He asked questions after taking his tools and hand away from my mouth and wanted to know your history and past with dentists. After one the hygenist did my cleaning (ALL of the women in the office are GREAT, personable and friendly) we talked about alternative ways of flossing and eating habits and how to possibly change them. She asked ME what MY opinion was as opposed to dictating everything I do wrong. I ended needing an obscene amount of work done on my teeth, but at no point did I feel embarrassed or ashamed.
What means the most to me and what wow’s me the most about Dr. Young and the women in the office is the fact that they never feel like you have failed a test because your teeth are not pearly white and flawless. They are all very kind and considerate people.
In terms of having fillings done, we discussed which type and how it affects the course of the day of getting it filled as well as insurance. The best part was it was all honestly pain free, even the shots we relatively painless, he numbed me up very well so that I never once felt a sensitivity during the procedure.
Thank you!

Best dentist I ever had. Gentle. Polite and painless. I used to be afraid going to the dentist but Dr Eldon and his staff makes me actually look forward to my visit.

I’ve had a history of negative experiences (several traumatizing) with dentists ever since I was a child which has always been a large deterrent for me from getting regular dental exams. It’s really sad how psychologically scarring some dentists can be just because they don’t realize how their demeanor and attitude can affect their patients. It took me some time doing research on Unilocal to really find a dentist that would do a great job with my teeth and also really change my outlook on dental visits. I can honestly say, this was the first time in my life I have EVER had such a positive visit and left the office feeling excited for my next appointment.
I entered the office and the first person to greet me was Dr. Eldon Young himself. He gave off a very warm and approachable aura and already I felt at ease. I was seen right away upon finishing my insurance forms and he was very thorough and explained the procedures he was going through and what they were for. Afterward, he gave me different options I could decide on to move forward with my specific situation. Throughout this whole process, he was very patient and reassuring which made me feel a lot more comfortable in the space. He came off very genuine in showing how much he cares for his work and practice.
Just as other reviews say, Dr. Young’s staff are awesome. The receptionist (ahh I can’t remember her name unfortunately) was very welcoming and answered any questions I had. Also, Erica, the dental hygienist, was amazing! During my cleaning, she checked in with me every now and then to make sure I was fine and not experiencing any discomfort and she kept up such a positive energy throughout the whole process. I was totally shocked by the results of her cleaning too! It was a huge before and after difference, leaving me very satisfied with my smile again walking out of their office.
Definitely looking forward to my next visit: D

I went to Dr. Young for the first time about a month ago. He has a great team working for him. They are all very sweet, patient, and efficient. I really like that he explained what he was doing to me. He’s got decent beside manner The office is very clean and bright.
I’m taking off one star because the cleaning hurt my gums and there was still some staining after he was done with the cleaning. In addition, I think he was rushing a bit because he was running late from previous patients.

I’ve been going to see Dr. Young since I was three? Pretty much when I was old enough to climb into that chair I’ve been seeing him for all my dental work. He filled in my fillings when I was 7, pulled out all my teeth for braces at 11 and recently I’ve had to see him for several cavities :(
I told him I had nightmares recently about seeing the dentist which is weird because I am so used to him but he was super understanding, gave me nitrous and just chatted with me. Dr. Young is super easy to talk to his staff like Ellen is ultra friendly!
I love this location much more than the old one because you don’t have to climb a huge flight of stairs or use a super dark hallway bathroom like the old office. The place is newly remodeled with a relaxing view of a garden and a television up top. The bathrooms are also super clean. Overall, great dentist and I don’t think I would switch until he retires :)

I quit my job recently and decided to make use of the work benefits by getting all of my doctor appointments done. Thankfully, Unilocal made it easier. I used my provider’s website to search for nearby doctors then entered their names into Unilocal!I seemingly found the perfect dentist just 4 blocks away. I love living in the city!
Everything about the appointment was superb. I called to make the earliest appointment for a general exam and cleaning. I haven’t been to a doctor in 10+ years. I filled the form and was called in soon after. A very friendly and professional girl took an x-​ray, measured my gums, cleaned my teeth with an ultrasonic tool, picked at my teeth with a metal hook some more, and even taught me how to floss correctly (I don’t floss regularly). The doctor checked the x-​rays, inspected my teeth, and informed me that I have no major problems and that I have the option to remove my wisdom teeth since they are impacted and food can get stuck in it causing an infection.
All of that was completed so quickly and professionally that I had time to tear down two pieces fried chicken at a nearby KFC, ruining my polished teeth.

I’ve found my dentist! I went today for a routine cleaning and have no issues with my teeth, but I was really impressed with my experience.
Dr. Young
–on time and efficient
–easygoing personality and easy to talk to (and he doesn’t ask questions while your mouth is full of cleaning tools)
–explains everything as he goes
–gives suggestions (floss more often) without making you feel like a failure
–actually performs most of the procedures himself unlike many of my past experiences with dentists (everything but the xrays and the polishing which was performed by the pleasant and professional dental hygienist
Office
–up to date equipment (they had tools for cleaning I’ve never seen elsewhere in addition to everything I’ve seen before)
–relaxing view of a backyard garden from the dental chair
–clean and comfortable environment
My teeth feel squeaky clean. Great experience! Highly recommend!

AMAZING! I’m so happy with my new dentist!
The last experience I had with a dentist, believe it or not, was the ONLY bad dentist I’ve ever had in my LIFE! he was rough, mean, rude, and rushed.
Dr Young was the opposite! He was super nice and comforting. During the appointment, he kept checking in to make sure I was doing fine, and had a very professional, yet kind demeanor. The dental assistant was extremely nice too. I didnt feel rushed or battered, just comfortable. He answered all of my questions very knowledgeably and I couldn’t ask for a better dentist.
If you’re having trouble finding a great dentist like I was, you should DEFINITELY go see Dr. Young! 2022 Judah :)
