First Visit Review

What a great experience. Totally organized with text and email reminders, exceptionally friendly and efficient staff, on-time appointment start late in the day, direct and succinct communication from Dr. Hansen, and straight forward billing and helpful insurance advice. Couldn’t have been better.

Sleep Dentistry Review

Drs. Hansen and Jurash are employing state-of-the-art techniques to resolve sleep apnea. Not only is their tech cutting edge, but it fits seamlessly into their comfortable and welcoming environment conveniently placed in the heart of Palo Alto. This is truly a top-notch practice lead by very clinically skills dentists. For anyone who needs a mandibular advancement device and management that will strive for the best outcome and avoid complications this is a relationship worth establishing.

Who yelps their dentist? either a very happy or very unhappy customer. Yes I am very happy with Dr Hansen and team.

Over the years I have moved many times and finding a dentist in my new city has always been a pain. About 5 years ago I moved to Palo Alto and started going to Dr Hansen… And now I live in Walnut Creek and still make my way across the bay to palo alto to get my dental work done here. Never wait more than a few minutes to be seen, my hygienist is the best and pays close attention to the things that I hate and makes them painless (thank you Erica), and Dr Hansen is great.

I cannot recommend Dr. Hansen and associates enough. Because I moved a few times, I didn’t have a regular dentist for about 5 years. They took me in and did a thorough evaluation, cleaning, and gave me great advice. As a physician myself, I appreciate the time my dentist and the hygienists take to explain what they think is going on (I have gum issues!) and how we might improve it.

On top of outstanding care, it’s a lovely office with really truly nice people. Recently I had some tooth pain, and they got me into the office within a day, diagnosed my problem and set me up with another cleaning all within 45 min. I got a follow up call 2 days later from my dentist to make sure everything was working out. At every visit, they have a printout of how much everything will cost at the next appt and what my insurance will pay before I walk out the door. In case it couldn’t get any better, they watch patients’ kids for them during appointments (!).

I’ve never really felt compelled to yelp anything in my life, but I’m starting today. It’s the least I can do for Dr. Hansen, Dr. Jurash, and everybody at the office for the care they’ve given me.

Easily the best dentist I’ve ever been to. The staff are friendly, organised, and very helpful. The dentist is very thorough and does a great job. I just moved to the Bay Area and found this dentist through a coworker. I recommend it to all.
