Michael Kriston, DDS

Just got my final permanent bridgework on solid fully healed implants — super comfortable — I’m on Cloud Nine! Also brought in a nephew for teeth whiting — he’s looking great! Great Dentist. Great Results. Elegant Office.
Seeing Dr Kriston for over a decade since he had an office in Walnut Creek, more than a few times, he knows how to make me smile better than most — and always does. This Danville location is significant improvement, but the doc has always been super. He has worked on my smile in conjunction with oral surgeons in the area including new bridge work recently — again re-​making my smile with a gentle touch and minimal discomfort. With oral surgery every decade or two, seems like I am outliving my oral surgeons, but Dr Kriston has always been there for me. The staff including wonderful dental hygienists make my visits good experiences. I now have a much stronger bite, brilliant refreshing looking teeth, and a confident smile to show off to family and friends.
This place is a winner if you have to get your smile redone (as I have) or are just cleaning and polishing it up.

Been going to Dr Kriston’s for decades after our prior dentist retired long ago. He has a great staff, including a wonderful dental hygienist — all are charming and will make you want to come back for the great experience. Dr Kriston has done several fillings and caps on my teeth — all with a gentle touch and entirely pain free. And all so I could enjoy lunch afterwards — and I did !!! I’m very pleased, to say the least, as I love going to the great restaurants in the area with sparkling teeth to enjoy their food and ambiance.
Speaking of ambiance, Dr Kriston’s office and reception areas are a class act with modern design and art. I never have to wait very long so can’t hardly finish a magazine. Also a class act is the long-​term receptionist Soraya– her warm, professional and charming manner is frosting on the office ambiance and superb service we have enjoyed. Oh — and be sure to check out Soraya’s smile. It’s gorgeous !!!
My wife has also been seeing Dr Kriston for decades and is also very pleased — She has had more work than me done by Dr Kriston in conjunction with oral surgeons in the area, with the doctor re-​making her smile !!!

Again, I had no problems with the doctor… I think he is a fine and competent man, and if I did not think so I would have given a one star rating. I just think that he could do a better job when staffing his «public face,» his reception personnel. I don’t know, perhaps it was a busy and stressful day for your receptionist, but I know rude and brusque when I am subjected to it.
Yes, your records will not reflect a Joe S. from San Francisco as having visited your office. That is an alias. But I give legitimate good and bad reviews to those I do business with… as my reviews indicate. Who puts their real name on negative Unilocal reviews anyways? That’s a sure way to get harassed.
A word to the wise, sir. If you wish to keep this employee, I highly recommend that you encourage her to attend remedial English class, and let her know that she should pay a little more attention to treating customers with respect without the rush, rush brusque treatment. With regards to treating her gingivitis, or more specifically bad breath, I will leave that up to you. With my best wishes,
Joe
